Babe Ruth, by Joe Black, of Charleston and editor of Black's Baseball AnnuaE. The review of Rtith's career by Black is prompted by recent rumors more or less i counter denials of his retirement from active play. There is considerable talk to the effect that Babe is now finishing his last year as a major league player.

First, he agreed with the questioners, but now he comes out with a Hat denial. Of course, there must be some truth about the rumor. Father Time gels them ail and he will be no exception. He can not get around like he used to and does not cover the ground in the field. His hitting is still good.

He is batting over .300 and has smashed out his claim. Kid Cook, Hunting- lon, one of the leading contenders for the crown, has lost two decisions to title. He is the most outstanding fighter in that class in the state and rims. "three anyone who dis- triples. George Herman Ruth is the i i rea es (- attraction baseball has ever produced.

It used to be a play- "er could be a home run king with eight or i home runs a season, but Babe showed them how could be clone. Col. Charles Lindbergh was first to cross the A a i alone on a non-stop flight.

A number of flyers could do it after they saw it was possible, but Lindbergh gets recognition lor showing it was possible and Babe gets the recognition in baseball for being the home run king. He holds more records in baseball than anyone else. Here are some of them: Most home runs for like-time; most home runs in Big leagues in one season with 60: most years batting over 40 home 10: he hit 13 home runs with the bases filled: he is the only plnycr ever to hit three home in a World's scries same. did this Williamson has a champion now.

He played in 10 world's series and holds the record in batting average I when he batted .625 in 1928: he holds the record of runs batted in -with 27 in a world's series; his life-time batting average is .326. Kuth started his career i Baltimore in 1914. That same year he was sold to the Boston Red Sox for $29.000 and optioned to Providence and then recalled to Boston. He broke in as a pitcher and had he not developed into the home run king, he would have still entered baseball's "hall of fame" as a great pitcher. On a occasions, as a pitcher, he shut out the opposing team and batted in the winning runs.

He played, with Boston until 1919 when he was sold to the New York Yankees for $125.000. He played the outfield for the Yanks because of his hitting ability and gave up pitching altogether. He has been with the Yanks ever since. His best batting average was .373 in 1921 and the same in 1924. This year i complete his i year in baseball and he has made over 2,700 hits and scored over 2,000 runs.

He was born in Baltimore, February 7. 1894. He bats and throws left handed, is six feet two inches tall and weighs 210 pounds. I would predict that he will be a big league manager when he retires as a player. It might be with the Boston Red Sox and it could possibly be with the New York Yankees.

He could accept some offers on the stage and get more money than he is mak- ing now but baseball is his life work and he will stick to iU Here are the a i contenders in their mounts, who will compete in the holiday races at the a a i dirt track program to be staged at the fairground oval on Labor day, Monday, by the Charleston Speedway.

Time of GAR WOOD ENTRY WINS FIRST HEAT Miss America Easy Victor Over British Craft in Harmswortli Race JUST IN SPORT By TED Something's Up! Looking at the fall schedule here in front of us for "Washington and Lee university while thinking about the gnme between the Generals and West Virginia, which wiJl be played here on September 23, which isn't so very far away, inspired us to hunt up a member of last year's Lexington squad, who has since graduated, and inquire just as to what's going on in a football way over in the Virginia town for this Jail. After watching W.

and L. and the Mountaineers tangle here at Laidley field for the last 13 years we realize as well as the fans that this game is beginning to be a boresome affair because of its usual one-sided ending. West Virginia's athletic department realises this, the W-L department thinks the same way, and even players of W-L teams feel the same way. But getting back to what we started out to say, the W-L schedule of this year has us wondering. Take a look at the opponents W-L has picked out--West Virginia, and Mary, Yale.

Kentucky, Princeton, V. P. Virginia, Centre and Maryland. That is a tougher schedule than usual for the Generals. There's something a loot and don't let 'em kid you.

W-L lost practically nothing from its 1932 varsity, A great frosh team graduated. Ashland, Ky. high school has four former players eligible for varsity berths on the W-L team this year. And Ashland high doesn't turn out tea hounds for football players. Tiie W-L alumni isn't saying anything around Charleston about the prospects for the W.

V. U. game. That's very unusual. You a hear them say "this is a W-L year coming up." A member of last year's W-L varsi ly tel Is us, "If you find anyone favoring West Virginia and i i to give only six points, take it, boy, take'it." (We've heard that before, too--and a out.) Nevertheless, we've got one of those feelings about this year's game, which is only three pay days away.

Charleston will send a couple of boys back to Lexington, in Billy Seaton and Tom Bolnnd. Both be varsity men and they're depending upon Seaton to do the barking again. The Generals have a Mash, ready in a boy named Arnold and for fince--reserve strength. One of the biggest changes is in the coaching where Tex Tilson, well liked by all of the boys and easy to get along with, replaces Jimmy DeHart, who, even the phiyers admit themselves, kept them in more or less of a most of the time and afraid to make a wrong move for fear of DeHart's see-all vision. Don't say we didn't a you, anyway about this coming game.

Beginning defense of the historic trophy he has held since 1920, the veteran Wood drove his mahogany-hulled craft five times around the rough, nautical mile course on St.

A few minutes before the starting, gun the third en try, Horace D. Dodge's Delphine burst into flames on the south end of the course. The craft was destroyed.

Wood drove one cf the most decisive races of his career in defeating the gallant but less powerful English craft. He drove the 35 statute mile course at an average speed of 82.498 miles an hour. Miss Britain's average was 78.449 miles an hour. Heavy Lead Taken Wood made his best speed in the first lap, when he averaged 88.053 miles an hour. Her hull low in the water, the Miss America roared into the second lap a full mile ahead of the British boat, which belched huge clouds ct smoke and appeared to be missing slightly.

The champion skimmed along with its throttle wid; open while Ihe light British boat bobbed along in its wake. Wood started the third lap before Scoit-Paine had rounded the south turn. The latter put on bit more speed but could not come nenr matching its four-motored rival. Wood was leading two and one-quarter miles as he entered the last lap. The champion and contender meet agvin on the same course Labor day.

A victory by i America then would give Wood the coveted trophy for the eighth lime. Tennis Body Picks Stars in Ohio Play FOREST HILLS, N.
