BABE RUTH CiSTS
NEW YORK, Feb. 26.- UPl -
Babe Ruth today cast his base
ball future with the" Boston
Braves.
Given his free and uncondi
tional release by the New York
Yankees, as the climax of a swift,
dramatic series of negotiations,
the 41-year-old slugger quickly
came to terms on a three-year
contract as player, assistant man
ager and second vice-president of
the Boston National League club.
His shift to the National lea
gue, where he will return to the
townNrhich first hailed him as
great southpaw pitcher 21 years
ago, came as a startling blow to
American leaguers to whom Ruth
has been an idol during his glam
orous record smashing career as
a slugger.
It was revealed that two Amer
ican league club owners were re
luctant to give Colonel Ruppert
their consent to let the Babe go,
even though the big fellow was
entitled to his unconditional re
lease as a ten year man. They
yielded only when it was made
clear; that no club in the league
except the Yankees had any
proposition to offer Ruth this sea
son, i
The detailed terms were not
disclosed but Ruth will receive a
percentage of the Boston, club's
profits and has an option to pur
chase stock "at a resonable fig
ure." Robnett Charged '

NEWPORT, Ore., Feb. 26.-Pi
Five seamen lost their lives in
a tumultous sea and treacherous
ebb tide here today.
Three coast guardsmen perish
ed and two members of the crew
of the clamshell dredge Melba
were lost when the Coast Guard
Cutter Yaquina dashed to the
rescue of the. leaking barge which
foundered, capsized and sank
just after it had crossed the bar
and was in sight of shelter in Ya
quina Bay.
A timber of the wrecked barge
punctured the engine room of the
Cutter Yaquina and a huge sea
capsized the stalled craft. It was
the costliest and most tragic dis
aster in the history of the bay.
The cutter was valued at 320,000
and the dredge at 15,000.
The pounding Pacific cast up
two of the bodies, but late to
night merely billowed an ominous
reminder of the certain fate of
the others.
Captain George Kistemacker of
the coast guard said there was no
chance that any of those missing
had escaped death.
The bodies of George Meadows
of Florence and George Elkins of

Overriding administrative rec
ommendations that no salary re

ployes in 1935-1936. the joint
ways and means committee of the
legislature last night voted to re
store to state workers 50 per cent
of the cuts made in 1933 and
1934.- In addition the commit
tee agreed that complete restora
tion of salaries would be made
for state employes whose base
pay does not exceed $75 a month.
Officials of the committee es
timated that these salary increas
es would mean from 3300,000 to
3400,000 in state exptfises for the
next biennium, including in this
total the salaries paid workers
whose departments operate un
der a general fund appropriation
and those whose salaries are paid
by self-sustaining boards and
commissions.
To offset the charges made on
the general fund through the re
storation of 50 per cent of the
salary cuts, the ways and means
committee agreed that all boards
and commissions not operating
under a direct appropriation, will
be. compelled to turn over to the

ings made in the 1935-1936 sal
ary schedule compared with the
1931-1932 salary schedule. In
the salary reduction bill passed
two years ago these savings were
retained by the departments.

Only Two Oppose Bill That
Caused Great Battles
.in Past Sessions
Closing of the Rogue river to
commercial fishing an issue
which has been fought in a
half-dozen legislative sessions
was approved by -the house yes
terday with only Representatives
Caufield and Norblad voting
against the bill.
RepresentatlreCarterotCur
ry county sponsored the measure
which originally provided for a
spring fishing season for the
commercial fishermen and a
three-mile closed, area at the
mouth of the Rogue. In the
house game committee the meas
ure was amended to close all the
river throughout the year to all
fishermen but those using hook
and line.
Carter said sentiment for clos
ing the Rogue had grown apace
in Gold Beach in the last four
years. Business men in that city
were convinced after a trip to
the Klamath river country where
only sports fishing is allowed,
that more returns could come
from sports fishing than for the
continuation of commercial and
sports fishing together, he averr
ed. Canning interests wllch for
merly opposed closing the Rogue
are not now opposing the more.
Carter said the average income
for the commercial fishermen
last year was 3111 for a four
and one-half months' period. He
said not more than 100 commer
cial fishermen were employed
and that only 25 of these lived
in Curry county the entire year.
