Time, But Would Like To Be in Baseball ' . BY EDDIE BRIETZ | (Agsociated Press Sports Writer) | NEW YORK — (#) — What's be- | come of Babe Ruth? Ever since he quit the Boston Braves more than three weeks ago, the great man has been baseball’s No. 1 mystery. i Nobody knew where he was, what | he was doing, or why. ‘ Onee — and only once — he vield ed to what must oe an eternal urge and went near a bali park. That was the last time the Braves play ed here, Nattily attired in white flarme]s.j but wearing the inevitable brown | cap, the old Bambino strode into | the Polo Grounds, took a box di-| rectly behind the Giant dugout :md! held court for a half hour before ! the game. He rises when he pleases. Hei signed score cards with the oldi Ruthian flourish, shook hands with | his Jate teammates, some of whom he could not call by name, and re-’ sponded pleasantly to the shouts of jgreeting from the sparselyi popalated stands. ! gt what is the big fellow doing? He does he spent his time and whit is he thinking about? | #Phe tip off came when a photo graph showed the Bahe golfing in —of all things—shorts. { This called for a bit of an in-| vestigation and here is the low- | down: ‘ He rises when he pleases. He | eats what he likes for breakfast. He i lights s cigar and spends a half | hour with the papers. ! He reads the hox scores eclosely, | particularly those of the Yankee! games, He pays little or no at“i tention to the doings of the Braves. | Almost any afternoon finds theg Bambino shooting in the low 80's; on one of a half dozen Long Island courses. Then he motors back to| West 88th street, eats what he | ‘pleases for dinner and spends the evening at cards or the movies. | %#M “hot spotting.” ‘ ~ The Babe isn't completely happy im:m be until he is back in| Corn Griffin Responsible For Braddock’s Comeback Braddock Started on Way Up by Beating Tough Ceorgia Battler (This is ‘the last of four stories on the career of Jimmy | ! Braddock, new world's heavy- | % weight champion). | i By EDWARD J. NEIL ! . Associated Press Sports Writer. | NEW YORK.—(&)—No story of | ' the life of James J. Braddock is, - complete without the tale of Corn| Griffin of Georgia, who came from | nowhere. went right back there,| and left the foundation of a new‘ heayvweight dynasty in his W‘akp.l Braddock was working on the Jersey docks, his fighting careerl apparently behind him, when Gris—l fin, a heavyweight purchased from | Uncle Sam’s army for S6B, (:ame| north to help Primo Carnera train | for his heavyweight title defensel against Max Baer. (Griffin beat| €Carnera so easily in workoutsl .that he became something of a| sensation, | Two nights before the cham-| pionship card just a year ago| Braddock’s manager, Joe Gould.l called. | “I got you a fight with a guy! named Corn Muffins,” he shouted. | “Get yourself right in training.” | Braddock quit his job, trainedi one day. Griffin knocked him down with a right hand in the] second round. Jimmy got up and flattened Corn three times. i “I never hit anybody so hard in | all my life,” Braddock said. Gould embraced him in the empty dressing room as Baer was e —————————————— baseball in some capacity. Yes, there are offers. KEvery day he gets wires and telephone calls from semi-pro and touring outfits which want to cash in on his drawing power, All have been turned down wtth thanks. He may weaken, but with $20,000 a year coming in for life, he can’t bring himself to go about as a traveling circus. He's keeping his eyes open and if he doesn't get back into the big show as a manager, he may try to buy into a elub. He’s sure he’ll be back in bhaseball sometime. | S o e s Loum e e S R o 1 e e . oaeser e bRRT R Y e o R WO S St e, ( { { (O . W e s Packed like silks .. it takes patience . Rsm |[N .. e . .

They cashed Jim's check for $250, and the comeback was on. They zat together on the hard benches outside Jimmy Johnston's offices in Madison Square Garden for weeks, waiting, hoping for another fight. It didn’t come unti] fall, when Braddock got a ten round match with John Henry Lewis, crack Negro light heavy weight. Jimmy won a close one. From then on Gould never stop ped velling for more fights. FFinally they needed someone for Art Lasky. Jimmy got the chance. So last winter, a 1 to 5 shot as usual, he methodically plastered IL.asky all over the Gar den ring. Jimmy paid back the S3OO the government gave him on relief out of the $4,100 he got for the victory. The state athletic com mission named him foremosgt challenger when, by another freak of luck, Max Schmeling knocked out the foremost challenger, Steve Hamas, and then decided not to cross the ocean for the title chance at Baer. Stevedore days had broadened, strengthened, steeled Braddock for the great test. He went into the ring at 10 to 1, and licked the magnificent Baer by sheer dog gedness more than anything else. He's still the same Braddock, and he’d ecarry vyour golf sticks tomorrow and think nothing of it if he liked you. His debts paid, there’s a trust fund started for the youngsters. Young Jay and Howard are going to. Yale, Rose Marie to Vassar. As some wag brightly remarked, they should send Baer along with Rose Marie to hold the daisy chain.

VYHE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA DETROIT BEATEN IN TWO GAMES; YARKS NOWHOLD 816 LEAT By HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR. Associated Press Sports Writer The Cleveland Indians have heen guilty of some strange inconsist-~ encies this season, but at times it looks as if they might give the league-leading Yankees the best fi?"ht for the American league pen nant, Threatened with a plunge into the second division only a week ago, Walter Johnson’s Tribe fought |its way clear with four straight | victories aover the Red Sox; then vesterday split a doubleheader with Washington to gain undisputei possession of third place. The Indians showed plenty of hitting power in both games, gath ering 31 hits, including five homse runs, They were forced to yield 'i-n the firgt game, 11 to 8 when Thornton Lee blew sky high in | the eighth. But undaunted, they pounded out 17 hits, including Hal Trosky' tenth and eleventh hom ers, to win the second 10 to 5. The Detroit Tigers sought a sim ilar comeback after taking a 13 to 3 drubbing from the Yanks in th 2 opener but after 12 exciting inn ings went down 'on all coufs. The 7 to 6 defeai not only drop ped them to fourth but it ended Tommy Bridges' winning streak after nine straight mound victor ies. Bridges and Vito Tamulis fought it out evenly until each team col lected a tenth inning homer. Pat Malone finished for the Yanks, and Bridges weakened in the twelfth when an error by Flea Clifton put the Yanks in position to score three times. The Tigers nearly salvaged the game when Charley Gehringer poled a homer and Hank IGreenberg followed with another, { but Goose Goslin couldn’t finish i the job.
