Aug.' 31 W - The habit ot writing finis to Babe Ruth's baseball career, a popular winter pas time for years, now has extended to the home run king himself, "r guess I might as well hang up my spikes,"' he said mournfully last night. ."I can't sign up as a player next year. The legs won't stand It. I might get by at first .base, tout not in the outfield. I'm through." While the 'boys have been guessing 'him Into .the management of either the White Sox or the Red Sox next season. Ruth knows nothing about it. "That's up to several other people besides myself," he said. "I'm silll the property of the Yankees. If another club wanted me for manager, they would have to make sort of a deal with Col. Ruppert. It's tip "to the owners of the other clubs. I havon been approached, even unofficially, by anyone." The Babe then had another Idea, "Maybe I'll just voluntarily retire for a year. I could stand a long va- cation and then see how things work out In 1936." He'd like to go to Bermuda and Mrs. Ruth would prefer Europe- The Babe guessed they'd probably com promise on Europe.
