Box scores: New York, Auk. 10 di'i The "KlKhter for Decatur" hail turned Into a nutural today to provide brightening prospect for the charging Boston Ited Sox, It Is the eighth season in the mujor IcuKuc for Vernon De catur Stephens, arid the chunky shortstop with the Mickey Kooncy nose finally hits dispelled the long-term theory that he was a "war lime" ballplayer. .Stephens, known variously as "Junior" nnd "Little Slug," has been doing much of the latter, Including lust night's Knme with Washington, lie was luicins the entire American IciiKue In home runs, will) .11, and In riuis hutted In, with 130. 'Hint meant he hud two more round-trippers thnn his fumed teummute, Ted Wllllnms, us they spreadcnglcd the field. He also was leading Thumping Thi-odore y 12 in the Kill department And with 42 iiumes remalnlnu Stephens hud hit two more hom ers man ever before nnd was only seven Hill's short of his peak pcrformunee In thnt deport merit. 10 Years Ite? Vorn may have liecn 10 years lute reaching Boston, but he's certainly making up for lost time. For. buck in 1937 when he wns playing Amcrlcun legion base bull In Long Beach, Calif., Steph ens almost signed with the Red Sox. Finally he inked 'with the St. Unil Browns, however, when they sold him the theory thnt with the burly BoSox he would be hurled In the minor leagues while he certainly would get a chance at St. l-ouls. lie' did. starling In 10-12. And In 1W4 he led the Browns lo the pennant with a Icnguclcadthg 109 runs bntted in. The next season he set the circuit puce with 2-1 home runs. So they came, up to the 19-IU senson and the Browns refused to meet Stephens' terms. The result was that Vern jumped to the Mexican league but Jumped right bnck. He said he wouldn't stny below the bor der because of the low calibre and high ultltude," It wus one of the smurtest moves he ever made. For Stephens thus escaped the five-year ban Imposed on the Mexican league Jumpers nnd real Ized n dream lo play with n reul contender by being sold lo the Ited Sox In the winter of 11M7. f'fclUa NarJwar.

Yanks By Milton Rich man (United Press Sports Writer) New York, Auk. 10 (UP) The Boston Red Sox hit the road today, convinced there's no place like home, there's nobody in the clutch like Tod Williams and there's no time like the present to catch the fullering, front-running New York Yankees.

New York, Aug. 10 'Hi On the nluht of August 16, 19-18, when most- folks were settling back after dinner, a hoarse-voiced re porter shouted into the tele phone: "Dead . . . cancer . . . 8:01." And thus was flashed to the world the sorrowing news that Babe Ruth was dead. Dead of cancer at the age of 53 after a lusty lifetime during which he carved his name Into the heart of America with a baseball bat. Tonight, one year after the death of the Babe, the baseball loving nation pauses to pay its respects to the game's most colorful idol. A minute of silence will be maintained at stadiums across the country. A Babe Ruth plaza will be dedicated in New York, just outside Yankee stadi um. "The House That Ruth Built." And, what's more im portant to the Babe wherever he Is a scries of sportsmanship awards has been established in his memory for boys and girls in 1,000 secondary schools In the United States. t Came As Shock The death of Ruth came as a shock to his public, even though it Avas not wholly unexpected. For weeks-the Babe had hovered on the brink of death in Skyscraper Memorial hospital on Manhat tan's east side. That last day had started well "a comfortable night," the hos pital said. But by afternoon he had suffered a relapse, and at the end reporters were jammed in the tiny hospital press room, nervously waiting out the inevitable,- which finally came at 8:01 p.m.. EDT. But since death had to come,' it came in the fashion the -Babe best loved for excitement, clam oring newsmen; and for senti ment, the grimy kids he loved so well who stood tearfully out in the street. Todav the Babe rests at fiatp l-of - Heaven cemetery -near sub- uman .Pieasantvllle, N.Y.
