plate, their caps off In respect and admiration for this big guy who has drawn more cash customers than any other star. "I've been in the game for 21 years, and I can say that I've done my best." Ruth said, in accepting the testimonial. Tha St Mary's Industrial School band of Baltimore Ruth, an orphan, played in the same school! band 30 years ago paraded around the diamond, Ruth posed for a final picture with a young khaki-clad Boy Scout and the game was on. The stands went wild with cheers every time Babe came to bat. Mickey Cochrane has got to change his.

He had planned, figuring the Giants to win, to use Rowe, Crowder and Bridges as pitchers. And he planned to use Greenberg, Gehringer. Rogell and Owen on the infield with Goslin, White and Fox in the outfield. Now all Is changed. With the Cardinals sweeping all before them, winning the most brilliant victory in the annals of baseball, fighting against fearful odds all right (skip it).

Now all Is changed, as I started to say. Now he must work out a new strategy against the St. Louis Cards. Now he will use Rowe, Crowder and Bridges as pitchers. And he will use Greenberg, Gehringer, Rogell and Owen on the Infield with Goslin, White and Fox in the outfield.

A manager has to ho a wizard to change his stiategy so quickly at any given moment. He had planned to have Greenberg hit two baggers against the Giants, but now he is going to suggest home runs. A home run hit is much more effective in a World Series than a two-base hit. Especially is this so if there are any runners on the bags.

Sunday at Belle Isle to even the Class AAA championship series. By winning, the Wolverines delayed until next Sunday the determination of the Federation championship. A victory at Belle Isle would have given Skrzycki the championship. Roy Moore, Baker pitcher, lacked his usual effectiveness and allowed 11 hits while his opponent, John (Dlnty) Moore, formerly with the Phillies, held Skrzycki to seven hits and was effective with men on base. He was wobbly at the start but grew stronger as the game progressed.

Skrzycki scored its only run In the second inning on singles by Sehenk and Smith, followed by an error by Johnny Desfanto. Northville came back in the third and, aided by weird fielding on the Skrzycki team, scored twice with only one hit. Errors on the part of Kenney and Roy Moore, a bunt that Martin beat out and a double steal were enough to put them in the lead. The Wolverines scored again In the sixth on two solid singles and an Infield out. They clinched the game In the next Inning by a four-run rally when Moore, after retiring the first two batters, suddenly lost all hla effectiveness.

O'Brien, Hammond, Martin. C. Wolfram and Mlllross all hit In suces-slon and Moore personally conducted one run across with a wild pitch.

35 (A. It's all over for tha Babe! The big barrel-chested fellow with the toothpick, legs wrote the final chapter today In an amazing sports record. For the last time George Herman Ruth said It waa hia final appearance as a regular the single line, Ruth, rf, went into the starting line-up of a major league ball game. The setting was perfect for Babe's last bow. It was a beautiful day with a brilliant sun, bands playing, ten thousand throats made hoarse by loud acclaims for the greatest popular hero the national game has ever known.

Perhaps it. didn't matter a great deal that the Babe failed to get even a scratch in hia finale, or that Washington outpointed the Yankees, 5-to-3, in the American League wlndup. Homers In Practice As It was, Ruth gava the fans plenty of thrills. Answering their pleas, he boomed three homera over the right field wall In practice and came through witn a sci earning drive his first time up that might have gone for a homer had not the Senators' centerfielder had his sprinting shoes on. Orvllle Armhmst, rookie pitcher, took no chances with tha Babe on hla next trip, handing him a walk.

Ruth scored a few moments later with the Yankees' second run. A hot grounder to second base and a looping fly to centerfleld were Ihe Babe's last gestures. After his final try in the eighth, Ruth waved his cap at the spectators and disappeared into the Yankees' dressing room. Before the game began, Ruth was presented with a framed testimonial parchment on which were Inscribed the names of many of Babe's well-wishers in the capital. la era Surround Him The Yankee and Senator players crowded around Ruth at the By Grandmother's Aunt Maria (The only ghost who confesses to being a ghost).

St, LOUIS, Nov. 2-As was exclusively predicted In this column last January (on the first and fifteenth), the St. Louis Cardinals are the champions of the National League.

An expert experter becomes an expert experter by claiming he has predicted something correctly. So this qualified me as an expert. In fast, now that It is In the bag, I'll let the cat out of it. The Dean, Dean Dean where the devil have you bean bovs refused to go to Nate Sti a pern's party to the kiddies at Navln field this summer because Ihey didn't want the Detroit expert's to pet a line on their strategy. "Our manager sometimes tries to get altogether too Frisch with us," said Dizzy this afternoon as he pitched the last game of the season against the battling Reds.

I stood in the box with him as he pitched. I wanted to see how he did it. And besides, as I was the only spectator in the stands, the players thought I looked lonely up there and told me to come down and Join them. When the last man was out and the pennant was won I turned on Dizzy with a look of adoration In mv eves. "Tell me." I said simplv, "now that it is all over, who is going to win the World Series?" "I am," he said.

"You mean," I stuttered, 'that you will beat Detroit?" "Is that city still In the American League?" he rasped. I want to get this plainly before the Tigers, just exactly as he said It: "Is that city still in the American League?" He didn't smile when he said It. Rather there was an ugly sneer on his face. He used the most slurring tone he possibly could and boys, that lad has possibilities when it comes to slurring. Yes.

my Tigers, that's what he said. I hope this news makes you as furious against the Cardinals as the same remark made the Brooklyn trolley Dodgers furious against them Giants. When Bill Terry made that remark last spring the Dodgers nursed their vengeance all season long. "Wait," they would say, "until they need two more games at the end of the year with the Cardinals making a spurt Then we will have our revenge. We will go In and beat them to a pulp so that we can sneer back at them Bnd say: "Yes, we are still In the league." And now.

the Tigers have their chance. They ought to be able to get a great deal more furious than those Brooklyn Dodgers. I'm Just msklng sure this information gets to you, my lads, because I want you furious. It Is my contribution to the strategy of the day. And poor Clark Plunges for Only Score First Period March Brings Touchdown By Tod Rockwell Lion talked th.

Nstlonil Professional Foot- night at the. University of Detroit btudium. Approximately 7.000 spectators witnessed the game. Earl (Dutch) Clark, scored the only touchdown of the game on two-yard plunge through the Cardinal right guard five minutes arter the game started. His attempt to drop kick the extra point failed.

Several of the Tiger ba-11 plavers were spectators. Mickey Cochrane Schoolboy Rowe. Chief Hogsett and Anker occupied a mldficM hox. Other guests of the Lions were Coaches Kinke, Bachman and Gus Dora is. Clark was the best half back on the field last night.

He turned in first class job of handling his team, excelled on forward pass defense and was the keyman in his team's offensive which lead to the touchdown and the victory. Cards' I.lne Too Tough Early In the game it became apparent that Clark and hlsVun-ning mates could not crack the Cards' line with the same ease as they ran through the Giants of New York a week ago. So Clark fleeted to take to the air. It. was this decision which proved the margin of victory.

Three completed forward passes and some hard drives at the center of the lint led to the score on a drive which started at midfield. Clark dropped back and tossed a riass to Frank Christensen, who ook the ball on the rut and advanced to the 37-yard line. On the next play Christensen tossed a short one over the center of the Una to Clark after a series of smashes at the line between tackles had advanced the ball to the Cards' 10-yard line. The third pass, Christensen to Clark, placed the ball on the two-yard line. The Cards' line closed in and stopped Clark at the center of the line.

But. the next time he cut back over the visitors' left guard for the score. His attempted drop kick for the point hobbled straight up in the air. Before the Lions could recover from this reverse the Chicago eleven hammered its way through the Lion line to the Detroit 42-yard mark. Lumpkin saved the day for his mates when he Intercepted a pass giving bis team the ball at mid-field.

But the steam had gone from the Lion attack. The timing was lacking In their passes and the Cards seemed to have solved the Detroit running attack. Presnell 'gava the Detroit fans another anxious moment in the latter part of 1h second half when be fumbled a punt In midfield. Chicago recovered and turned this break into determined drive toward the Lion goal. The Cards ripped open big holes In the center of the line, consisting mostly of second stringers, with Bay Horstmann and Doug Russell doing most of the ball carrying.

It was Chicago's best march, but the held in the pinch and the ball went over on downs on the 35-yard line. It was the closest the Cardinals came to scoring throughout the game. The teams battled on even terms throughout the third quarter. Chrtstensen's punt, early in the period, was blocked but, Lumpkin recovered the ball. rardonner Is Absent Christensen got off a short kick early In the final period.
