BAMBINO MAY NOT SIGN FOR ANOTHER FULL YEAR ST. LOUIS, Aug. 18. (AP) Un less the aging Babe Ruth (baseball speaking) feels its If he can play the entire 'season next year, the Mew York Yankee management needn't worry about compensating him for all the 1S4 games. '. This the great home run slugger revealed while here with fie Yank ees for their series with the St. Louis Browns. Asked if his layoff during the first port of the series was any Indication that be planned to retire In 1934, : the Babe replied: I "I can't answer that, because I don't know. But one thing Is cer tain I'm not going to sign a con tract Itr next year unles. I feel that I can play the full season. It would not be fair to the ownei to sign for & full year and then play only a third of th-3 season.' After appearing only as a pinch hitter during the first two games of the Yankee-Brown series. Ruth re-1 turmid to the lineup yesterday and hammered out his 27th home run of the season. Only Jimmy Poxx of the Athletics has done better dur ing ttte current race. CHIEF OF TOURNEY By LES SHOWERS. Before leaving for the east I wish to say a word for the splendid game ness of both the fighters and the spectators Incident to the Legion's amateur boxing tourney that closed at the Armory here last Wednesday ntght. The courage of the fighters was proved by the manner In which they tore Into each other despite the blis tering heat. They" performed well and I know that the spectators will agree with me that It took gameness on the part of the fighters to even enter the ring the last night of the meet after having endured the ter rific heat that prevailed throughout the duration of the tourney. You did fine, boxers. , You are to be com mended for your gameness. The spectators also displayed cour age and 100 per cent sportsmanship for also enduring the sweltering heat of the three nights of the tourney. The regrettable thing about the tourney was that It could not have been offered during the fall season in. stead of In August. With the heat wave at Its height a large number of fighters, after realiz ing they would have had to perform In the Armory, notified us they feared the ordeal might Impair their health and withdrew from the tourney without putting In appearance. And no one could Justly blame them, either. There was splendid co-operation from the press, Legion officials, mem bers of the Medford boxing commis sion, managers, fighters and Dr. A. F. W. Kresse, who was on hand to ren der services when needed; Dr. B. C. Wilson, who assisted; Al Plche, who put up a wonderful tronhv. And. say, wasn't Major Clare Armstrong right on deck when It came to en tering his O. O. C. camp contestants? The major's atbletlo officer, Lieut. George A. A. Jones, Is to be commend ed, too, along with the other officials. Gameness Is usually shown only by the fighters In amateur ring tour neys, but in the Medford event the courage of fighters and spectators alike were given the well-known "acid" test, or should I have used the word "heat" Instead of "acid" In this respect. In closing wish to say Mr. Russell and I are happy we work ed In Medford and despite the limited crowds we are leaving town with happy thoughts of the city In mind SEATTLE ARCHER Tl CHICAGO, Aug. 18.

(Associate Pratt Photnt ONLY BRIGHT RAY F0RM1EES , By HUOH 8. KUl.I.ERTON, Jr. (Associated Press Sports Writer.) While the New York Yankees were finding that Lou dehrlg' brand new major league endurance record, es tablished yesterday when "Buster Lou" played his 1.308th consecutive game with a minimum of ceremony. waa about the only bright spot they have seen on their current western trip, Washington's Senators were equalling a record of sorts and at tha aame time learning that Monte Weaver can be of great assistance to them in their pennant drive. Weaver, who waa rendered Inactive during the large part of the season by a sore arm, let the Chicago White Sox down with four hits to win his third straight victory since he got back Into service, by a 14-1 score. It was the ninth In a row tor the Sena tors, equalling the season's long-run mark, made by the Yankees. The fact that Clehrlg became the oflclal major league "Iron man" by surpassing the record set by Everett Soott, former Yankee shortstop, be fore Lou broke Into the big league, snd Babe Ruth's celebration of the end of his two-day vacation by bust ing his 27th homer of the season, still couldn't save the Yankees from 7-8, 10-lnnlng defeat by the St. Louis Browns. The Cleveland Indians continued to make life miserable for the Phil adelphia Athletics by plastering out 19 hits for S3 bases off Own Earn- shaw and three throwera who follow ed him, to win the series final, 15 to 4. The victory gave them ex clusive possession of fourth place as the combination of Bob Wellanrt'e flve-hlt hurling and Eldon Auker's wlldneat gave the Boston Red Box a - victory over Detroit. The New York Olanta again Im proved their position In the National league, taking another game from Cincinnati by a 7-2 count while the weather kept their leading rival Inactive. The second place Pittsburgh Pirates and third place Chicago Cubs were rained out at Brooklyn and Boston respectively, giving the Olante a 4 game lead over the Buccaneers. Boston a Idleness enabled the St. Louts csrdlnala to gain a tie for fourth place by wallonln the Phlllle. to 8. in a game marked by home run ewattlng. Joe Medwlck walloped two homers and Jim Collin one for the Cards, while Chuck Klein conn. tered with his 20th of the season. Girl Golfer Who Defeated Prince Says He's "Cute" NEW YORK, Aug. 18.

IF AYR U.S. WE DO OUR PART IT WONT BE many days before the bread you cast on the waters in the shape of shorter hours and higher minimum wages comes back in the form of PROSPERITY1 For you're making your own market When you sign thePresident's Reemploy-, ment Agreement, cut down working hours, take on more people, increase minimum wages you're giving people money to spend. They won't spend it for your product, perhaps. But they'll spend it for things they want and that will put money in the poc kets of the people who want your things. It's apleasant circle. Higher wagesf- more demand for goods. Greater demand easier to pay the higher wages. You've felt this ball start rolling during the last few months. Don't let it stop I You can give it your push this very day by sign ing the President's Reemployment Agree mentand by buying from those manu facturers and retailers that display the pledge that they, too, have signed.
