It mrins that the bl fellow will be in thre swinging from his shoe-tops Just as often as he possibly can. His personal appearance on the field, moaning participation In ex hibition games and championship contests, Is vital to the Interests of the club and the Babe as well. That's where his greatest value lies. Ruth la still the greatest drawing card In baseball, even though ho hm slowed ip considerably at bat and in the field. The change, to a National leagiie uniform enhances his nw.;ntlm. In his new pastures, fans of the senior circuit will flock to see him with renewed Interest. Connie Mack Is one of those who believe Ruth Is not through aa a player, The venerable Connie thinks Babe should be able to t.ike part In at least 100 games. The BMw feMs the same way about It.

When Ruth gete down to 8t Peters burg to train witli tho Braves, he will find his former mates, the Yan kees, nearby. More than that, with the Braves he will oppose the Yan kees In nine exhibition games before tho championship season pets un der way In Boston. Ruth's and Boston's first rivals In the regular National league season will be the New York Giants His first appearance In New York as an enemy In 10 years, or since he last played there with the Red Sox In 11110 will take place on April 23 when tho Braves Invade the Polo grounds. National league fans look forward with delight to the occasion when t',ie Babe steps up to tho plate to take a cut at tho fast one of Dlz,y Dean or his little brother. Paul. Many other leading pitchers in tho older league who In tho past have regarded themselves as fortunate because they bout that set a new high In total tonnage. Cttrne.'a at 200 pounds, impellltl:rc at 258, and Jack Drmpsoy, slated to referee, at 200, will try the staying powers of tho ring to tho utmost.

About the only NaMonnl league park fence Ruth has never had an opportunity to shoot at Is Baker bowl In Philadelphia. Curiously enough, the right field wall In the Phllly ball park Is very short and made to order for the Babe. He had to don a National league uniform to get the chanco for which he so often expressed a desire. Babe Ruth's baseball salaries, china:- ! by his 1160.000 contract for 1931 and 11)112, already have tot tied over $1,000,000. His activities off tae diamond must have swellvd his In come an additional $300,000 . Colonel Jake Ruppcrt, who paid the Red Sox $125,000 for Ruth in 1U20. surrendered the greatest drawing card In the history of the game without getting a cent In return. Just because he felt the Braves' offer was the op portunity the Babe sought. s INJURY 10 SPINE LONDON, March 15.

CSC BATTERIES . 5QC CAR RADIOS $lso Fulfilling their promise, the St. Mary's All-Stars last night took the Russ Brown "Champions" Into camp, by the lop-sided score of 61-24 In a wild scramble that left Steuart, "Champion" center with a broken bone In his chest, and Bob Lewis, Saint guard, with a badly skinned face. Aside from those two casualties, there were no Injuries other than bruises. While not the bloody affair It was expected to be, the fiasco was at least one of the funniest ever played here, with tho two teams knocking each other down, tackling and blocking In the best football tradition. Paint glimpses of baskettball were exhibit ed from time to time by the All Stars, but the remainder was Just rough and tumble horse play. No difficulty was encountered by the Saints In scoring at will, so most of the time was devoted to showing the "Champions" that they could play football too, when the occasion demanded. Every player on the floor took his turn at sliding on his Jowls In an effort to recover the ball at one time or another. One of the funniest moments In the game was when a "Champion" dribbler got Btalled in front of Trill, Saint forward. Trill kicked the ball out of the opponent's hands Into the waiting ones of his own team-mates, who promptly tore down the floor and scored. Other wild moments came on tip-offs, when one man would fall to Jump, but content him self with pushing his opponent off his feet while still In the air. Little things like that helped to make the party go, as did the way Steuart Bat on Lewis when he got him out of the boundary line under the basket. The referee finally no ticed that there vere only eight men on the floor, and by that time the two on the outside had become hope lessly entangled, and It took a couple of minutes, and some pinching to see whose legs were whose, before the game could go on. Recruits sent in during the closing moments to stop the slaughter were Sam Van Dyke, Lewis Campbell and Ray Lewis for the "Champions." Summary.

(AP) Champion Max Baer, In the modest opinion of young Joe Louis. Is a "wild swinger" who can be hit. The 20-year-old negro, the "brown bomber" whose dynamite-laden fists have ripped him to a ispot In the front ranks of heavyweight contend ers, would like a match with Baer this summer. There's no suggestion of boastfulness when he drawls: "I believe I can knock htm out or deci sion htm In 13 rounds.' Louis said bis manager, John W. Roxborough, feels he needs more ex perience, but Joe doesn't agree with him. "I've got confidence In myself," he said. "I've got confidence In myself no matter whr I would step Into the ring with. I've never seen Baer fight In anything but an exhibition, but I did see the pictures of the Baer-Car-nera fight several times, and I don't believe Baer could hit me enough to hurt bad. I really don't. "Baer should have knocked Car nera out and I think he was trying to put him away long before the fight was stopped In the eleventh. I could have stopped Camera quicker I Just know I could. I don't think Baer could hit me no solid punch and I don't think anybody can hit much harder than I do now anyway. "I'd like to meet Baer before I get whiskers. Why I'll be 21 In May and I think that's old enough to fight anybody. I'll never punch any harder than I do now and !f 1 can't get matches with other good boys why, skip them guys and get ahold of Baer first." Schmellng and Camera are the best heavyweights In his path to a shot at Baer. Joe believes. Art Lasky of Minneapolis, he says, "can be hit with yo' eyes shut with any hand.'' Louis will fight hero March 2t) and In Chicago Aplrl 12. His opponents have not been selected. 4- IN FINAL CAGE II ROSEBURG, Ore.. March 15.
