"'Depression Pails to Make
j mT an Impression, on the
'''; King of Swat.
i By Alan Gould
l.urf. (Associated Press Sports Editor)
NE WYORK, Jan; 7 W) Babe Ruth
r.oC only thinks ho still is worth
$80,000 a year to tho Yankees, do-
.pression or no depression, but he
'i-.-hus no idea whatever of quitting the
- game so long as he can hold his own
with "these young fellas."
'"''"'I might like to be a manager,"
1:'raid Ruth. "I want to round out at
":11icnst 20 years playing as a regular
r' and 04 many moro as I can go. ine
only thing I don't want to do is hang
around so long they have to show
mo tho bench or the gate and tell
mo I'm Just an old man. But the way
I feci now I'm good for at least
. i.j'Xive mere years."
In Good Condition
In better condition today than ho
has ever been and with the figures
.of , his trainer, Artie McGovern, to
prove It, Ruth In roady to show his
. employer a number -of good reasons
why ho ahould bo kept on the pay
roll without a cut.
"I haven't talked it over yet with
o- Colonel Ruppert," Ruth told news
papermen after a brisk workout be
, fore the cameras, "and I don't ex
pect any troublo when I do but I still
think I'm worth thnt $80,000. I'd
, llko to sign for that on a one or
two year basis.
"Last year was one of the best I
have ever had. despite the Injury
that laid me up for a few days In
Boston. But for that I think I
wculd've had a good chance to break
'' tho home run record. I still think
'' I can do it. Tho ball doeBn't seem
any deader to me. When I sock It
right, it still goes plenty."
Scored 73 nt dolf
Among other items of public In
., Jtcrest, Ruth admits he recently shot
r i round of 73 at golf; tliut his walsl
iluo Is reduced to a mere 38 inches
.-.(a foot less than It measured In
1020); that he's a better movie actor
r rthan ho thought he was; and that
tho 1032 American league pennant
raco "should be a breeze" for the
Yankees,
i "Yeah, I know the Athletics stilt
havo Orovo and Earnshaw and those
babies can pitch and this Simmons
,can hit," ho argued, "but we should
havo beaten 'em last year and we
will havo a lot better pitching."
Ruth was to have had a workout
With Max Schmcling yesterday for
(j tho benofit of photographers at MC'
Oovorn'o gymnasium but the. heavy-
'f;; weight chamiplon at the last minute
telephoned ho was otherwise engaged.
,'-., "Hey, you don't supposo that guy
t'r took a runout, do you? ' demanded
' !Ruth as ho swung a left hook to the
' chin that dozed McGovern during a
-' brief sparring match.

KAPLAN KNOCKS
REFEREE COLD
IN PORTLAND
PORTLAND,' Ore., Jan. 7 ' (P) It
was a wild night at the municipal
auditorium last night when the larg
est crowd of the season gathered to
sjo Ed Stranglcr Lewis and Abe Kap
lan, heavyweight wrestlers perform.
They were treated to the rare sight
of seeing not only four falls In one
match, but witnessing tho knocking
out of the referee as a climax. The
mad scramble In which most of the
fans do not yet know what happened,
came after 20 minutes of hard wres
tling 1 14 the third fall after the first
two falls had been divided, Lewis
taking tho first and, Kaplan the sec
ond. As Lewis attempted an' air
plane spin. Kaplan grabbed the
ropes. Referee ' Vern Harrington
jumped Vd close to shake the Jewish:
grappler's arm loose. While in that
position Lewis started the spin. Kap- j
lan's feet caught Harrington on the
back of the neck and the official I
shot through the ropes, out of tho
ring and did not stop until the head- ;
long plunge carried him to the foot
of the steps leading to the stage. In
tho meantime, the wrestlers orashed
to the mat with Kaplan on top. He
slipped into a cross body hold that
planted the Strangler's shoulders to
the mat, but the referee was; Just
picking himself out of the orchestra
pit. By the time Harrington returned
to the ring, Lewis had wiggled out of
the hold and taken the top hold and
had Kaplan down. After Harrington
awarded tho fall to Lewis, Kaplan
took a hefty swing at tbo referee,
knocking him cold. The police broke
up tho free for all. The match was
rough throughout.
Big Bill Tilden
Remains King of
The Pro Courts
NEW YORK, Jan. 7 CP) Big Bill
Tilden, a champion for more years
than he cares to count, remains the
king of tho professional racquet
swingers despite tho best efforts of
Vincent Richards, a rival since the
days when they both were amateur
aces, to dislodge him. '
Richards, who turned pro In 1026
Just when he appeared to have Big
BUI on the run, renewed the rivalry
with Tilden last night as the climax
of a two-day professional exhibition
series at Madison Square garden and,
much as usual, went down In a three
set defeat.
The scores were 8-2, 6-3, 6-1.
From start to finish, Richards,
newly crowned national lnabor pro
champion, never could cope wHl) the
Tildqn speed. "'''

All tho gabbing around the lob
bies during tho winter gridiron con
vention ; in Now York wasn't con
Uu'ed to football. Al Schacht, all-around-athlete
and comedian of the
Washington Senators, was thore to
strike a few baseball notes.
No sooner had we fallen to on
tho subject of the next American
leaguo pennant race than Al re
marked: "Thoso Athletics will be tough
for us or the Yankees or anybody
else to beat next year. They ought
to win again, for the main reason
that their pitching is still the best
in the league.
"I'll tell you where the payoff Is.
Whon It comes down to a tight se
ries, where Connie MJack hns to win
threo out of four, who has ho got?
You know us well as I do Wal
berg, Orovo and Earnshaw. Those
babies can pitch. In case you didn't
know It. No otheJt club In the league
has the samo class."
Schacht thinks the addition of
Carl Reynolds to the outfield will
strengthen tho Senators greatly.
The old trader, Clark Griffith, got
"all tho better" of tho deal with
tho Whlto Sox, by which Jones,
Hadley and Hayes were handed
over for Roynolds and Kerr, In
Schacht's opinion.

Derby" at the annual banquet of
the American Football Coaches' as

ley, one of the Four Horsemen of
Notro Dame and now coach at

bull with this one:
"In 1922 Notro Dame had nine
Eophomores on tho team that went
to Atlanta to play Oeorma Tech,"
Cruwley related. "In tho first half
Tech got a field goal and things
looked pretty dark for us. In, tho
third period Laytlen punted to Hed
Uarron, who muffed. We recovered
on tho 20-ynrd lino and tried three
plays In vain. It was fourth down.
"It so happened that wo had a
Presbyterian on the team. He
btopped play and snld to us, 'Boys,
let's havo a Hall Mary.' Well, we
prayed, and Laydcn soon went over
fur a touchdown.
' Uelievo it or not. the formula

again Barron fumbled, again we tried

For 1932
(Note This Is the last of a
' series of stories on 1032 major
' league baseball prospects.) -By
OH! King
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
BOSTON-, Jan. 7 (JPh-The off-season
has been the dullest in years
for the Boston Braves and new faces
will be few when Manager Bill Mc
Kechnle starts the 1032 operations
in St; Petersburg, Fla., late next
month.
The' tribe was, and stilly is, over
burdened with trading material but
Its' chieftains were only able, to make
two Important deals to bolster the
weakest hitting outfit In the Na
tional league.
Shires, Knothe on Squad
The outstanding trade reinstated
Art Shires as a big leaguer and "the
Great One," who had. quite a year
with Milwaukee, is bent on becom
ing the best first- baseman In the
senior circuit. Bill Knothe, who la
bored In Seattle during 1031, will
cross the continent to try to plug
the wide gap at third base.
The passing of Freddy Maguire, to
Louisville, will force McKecbnle to
move the colorful Rabbit Maranville
over to second - base - and give Bill
Urbanskl the aging midget's old
flhortstopj berth.
Most of the Braves', hlttjng last
season was supplied by the outfield,
Wally Berger, Wes Schulmerlch, for
mer Oregon State star athlete, and
Bob Worthing ton, and this trio has
not been tampered with. Randy
Moore and Earl Clark will again
serve as utility fielders,
Merger lilts .333
Berger, one of five National lea
guers to play in every game closed
last season with a .323 batting av
erage, getting 109 hits, including 44
doubles and 10 homers. Schulmerlch
was the only other Brave to pass
.300. The tribe, as a whole, hit for
.258 against the league's team av
erage of .277 and its fielding was
only a point better than the .971
general average'
Nothing much has been done to
strengthen the pitching staff, which
collapsed late last season, and Ed
Brandt, Tom Zachary and Harry Sel
bold, who was credited with 39 of
the tribe's 64 victories, will again
carry the hurling burdens.
McKechnle has plenty of other
pitchers and it Is likely that he will
attempt to trade some of them. He
could use a seasoned catcher to help
hard-working Al Spohrer, whose
ludicrous battle with Shires Is still
enshrined in the memory of the New
England boxing public.

ST. -LOUIS (P) Frank le" Frisch,
veteran second baseman of the St.

Japan with the major leaguers so
well that he plans to extend it into
a trip around the world.
Shanghai, Hongkong, Manila.
Singapore, Port, Said, Naples, Genoa
and Marseilles are on his itinerary
before the "Ford ham flash' Is due
In New York, February 2.
A recent letter from Frisch to the

gained 10 pounds In weight since the
cruise began. Ordinarily he spends
the winter months hunting and
skating.
Frisch batted .404 on the Japanese

Price of Lower
Score Butter Is
Reduced Today
PORTLAND, Jan. 7 OP)' Cut in
the price of lower score cube' butter
on the Portland produce exchange for
the late session reflected further gen
eral easiness In the trade. The very
slight differential that has, recently
existed in the cube butler trade, not
only at Portland, but elsewhere has
created a' greater call for the top
scores while the lower grades have
been inclined to reflect more or less
neglect. Some of the big stores
which have been buying the lower
scores simply as a price leader, have
been turning to tho better stuff be
cause of the very scant increase In
the price. , -
Both prime first and first butter
showed a loss of lc on the exchange
ior the session. This is the first
time, in a very extended period that
all scores have been quoted at dlf-'
ferent prices. .
Butterfat continues weak.
Additional weakness Is reflected In
the market for eggs. This not only
applies to the local field and to the
coast but to the country generally.
Sharply lower values are reflected in
tho east.
While the demand Is still very good,
appearance of th0 live chicken trade
indicates that the buying price has
been boosted a trifle too high, a
reaction of lc lb. in buying prices is
shown as a, result.
There Is a real scarcity of country
killed lambs' along the wholesale way
with prices generally at the extremi
point for quality stuff. Late arrivals
have been scant. . '
Continued strength is reflected in
the market for country killed calves
with most sales at the extreme mark.
Hogs are just steady. Bulls are in de
mand but cows are slow.
With practically a failure of the
dips in the Cowlitz during the lost
day or 'so, the market for Columbia
river smelt Is firm at the general
advance quoted. Salmon prices are
held firm but unchanged.
Receipt of additional supplies of
hothouse asparagus from the east was
reported. The stock Is packed In half
pound bunches and sells $6 per bas
ket, about 60c lb.
Four dollars is being asked for No.
1 onions by local wholesalers as a
result of latest offers of $3.50, sacks
and twine for carload lots at country
points. Little selling Is reported but
there are many offers to buy.
Notes of wholesale trading:
Lettuce market is down about 25c
crate generally with more offering.
Five dollars is now the top.
Only a few boxes of .cranberries,
scattered here and there are being
offered, priced $4 bushel box.
Cauliflower is In larger supply with
sales lower; best at $1.35 crate. This
applies to Santa Maria as well as
Roseburg.
Walla Walla spiriach Is being offer
ed $1.50 box of 18 ,lbs. Local stock
very scarce. '
Initial offerings of mountain pota
toes of the Burbank type.
First hothouse cucumbers from the

Itching, bleeding, protruding piles
are caused by bad circulation of the
blood in the affected parts. The parts
become weak, flabby, almost dead.
Only an Internal remedy can remove
