Overshadowing all other develop ments u the major league baseball aeason not away to a halting atart In frigid weather yesterday were the amazing exploits of portly, aging Babe Ruth. An Injury to Jerome (Dizzy) Dean, lemarkahie pitching by a half down established stars, heavy hitting at Cincinnati and Philadelphia. all these faced Into the background as the mighty Ruth, called into the Na tional league to lead the Boston Braves out of the financial wilderness squared accounts with Carl Hubbell, lender southpaw of the New York Giants. Bends In All Runs Pacing the left-hander for the first time since the all-star game last summer when he went down, swing ing, at a third strike, Ruth smacked . Hubbell for a single and a home run to account for all the Braves' runs In a 4-2 victory over the Giants. That was what 35.000 farm had braved pneumonia to aee and the Babe didn't let them down. They hadn't expected, however, the 41 -year-old home run master to star afield but hla sensational gluve-hand catch of Hubbell's low liner In the fifth aaved Fd Brandt and the Braves some embarrasament. Brand gave up only five hlta but It was definitely the Babe's day. IHrry Injured At Chicago, the world champion St. Louis Cardinals saw their pen nant aspirations almost come to grief on the first day of the campaign. A line drive from Freddy Llnd atrom'a bat struck Dlzr.y Dean on the lft leg. Just above the ankle, In the first Inning and the great right hander was carried off the field. An X-ray showed no broken bones, but the dizzy one probably will be out for a wek nursing a severe bruise. The Cuba nicked Dizzy for one run before ha was rondered hors de com bat, added two more off Bud Inning In the second and scored whtft proved to be the winning run In a 4-3 vlc tory off Ray Harre II In the eighth. Ilnrtnett Humes Rabby Hartnett took oare of the Oubs' attack with a home run. double and single while Lon Warneko stag gered the route althouigh tagged for 13 hits. Only 18.000 braved the weather to see this battle Rounding out the full National league program, the Pittsburgh Pl 'ratea concentrated a 14-hlt attack In two big Innings to whip the Cincin nati Reds, 12-8 while Waits Hoyt kept the Reds pretty woll In control, much to the displeasure of 37,000 Redland fans. At Philadelphia, only 3000 saw the Brooklyn Dodgers shell the Phil lies, 13-3 behind Van Mungo'a five hit pitching.

Perrell, In mid-season form, gave the Ruth-lea, Yankees only two hits, facd only 30 men and won 1-0. Gomez, losing to the Red fiox for the first time In his caieer, was nicked for only six hits but an error by Lou Gehrig permitted the winning run to scoe in the sixth. Red Sox Rookie Stars George Selkirk, taking Ruth's old place In fight field, got one of the Yankee hits, Oehrlg the other. The fielding features were taken care of by Ellsworth Dahlgren, rookie first baseman of the Red Sox. He saved Manager Joe Cronln from the embar rassment of three errors by brilliant stops on bad throws. The only other American league game produced a fine pitching duel at St. Louli between Mel Harder of the Cleveland Indians and Buck Ncwsom of the Browm.

On the following Sunday Ashland will play host to the Merchants while the climate lads Journey to Klamath In an attempt to knock down the Ewauna ears. The '35 league schedule has been so arranged as to find each team tangling with each opponent four times, turn about as to playing sites. The armistice for the season's war fare will be signed on July 31. with troops from this city ending festivi ties on the eastern front against Klamath Palls, and the western front prevented from remaining all-quiet by the embrogllo between Grants Pass and Ashland at the Llthla for tifications. Advance dope as to the outcome Is as vague as Is most advance dope, with the wise boys riding the fence until after the first few games. At the present time It would be the best politics to state that no team has a decided edxe, with all four outfits looking exceptionally good, snd pros pects pointing to the best season In years. "Hoosler" Hoffard. Medford mana ger, has announced that his team will be a credit to the community. His Infield he expects to be uncommon ly good, with fair prospects at every position. His advantage over oppon ents will probably be predominant at catcher, with Bill Calvert, last year's 18-ycnr-old sensation, shading the field. Grants Pass and Ashland this year each boast a blg-leagu ex-er at the managerial post. Ashland being man oged by John Mlljua. former Pitts burg twlrler. and the Cave men tak ing ordera from Ken Williams, former big league star.

AP The liveliest promotorlal war since Tex Rlckard's heyday promises to restore New York to its former proud posi tion as fistic capital of the world. As a result of the feverish rivalry between Msdlion Square Garden and Mike Jacobs' Twentieth Century club, metropolitan followers of the cauli flower brigade can put their cash on the line, if It holds out that long, for these four prime attractions: May 10. Tony Canzonerl vs. Lou Ambers, at the Garden, for New York state athletic commission recognition as world'a lightweight champion, suc ceeding Barney Ross, resigned. May 28. Ross vs. Jimmy McLarnln for world's welterweight champion ship, at the Polo Grounds, with Ja cobs promoting. June 13. Max Baer vs. Jimmy Brad dock for the heavyweight champion ship, at the Garden's Long Island bowl. June 26. Joe Louis Detroit negro heavyweight, vs. Prtmo Camera, at the Yankee Stadium, Jacobs In charge. Although Jimmy JoJhnson and his Garden associates halve the offerings with the Twentieth Century club, the financial advantage apparently lies entirely with Jacobs. Accurate prog nostlca tors of gate receipts estimate the third meeting between Ross and McLarnln will draw nearly 9300.000 and that tht Louts Camera bout, the slugging negro's eastern debut, may attract nearly 300.000.

(UP) Reducing Is a serious business and can lead to per manent Illness or death, warned Dr. Frederick D. Strieker, state health officer. Don't prescribe for yourself." ad vised Dr. Strieker. "Above all don't take any anti-fat drugs no matter how extensively they may be exploit ed. Many of them contain dlnltro phenol. which, when used indiscrim inately as a reducing agent. Is risky and unproven. Even in the hands of physician the drug is not safe. A doctor recently died of an overdose." Dr. Strieker said that most persons who cherish dreama of a slim figure are only a very few pounds over weight. "Dlnltrophenol Is no plaything." he said. "It can and has killed persons who have unwisely employed it as a slenderizing agent. Avoid all anti-fat remedies. Don't touch them. If you need to reduce see your doctor about dietary restrictions."

Swinging away, day In and day out, with drivers, brassies and irons develops amazing strength in their hands and wrists. Johnny Revolts, the Milwaukee club swinger, is blessed with the largest and perhaps the most power ful hands In golf. He throws tre mendous power Into his shots de spite his easy-looking swing. Tommy Armour's hands are not the largest among the pros but for sheer strength his maulles are a match for any golfer. They say he can tear in half a pack of cards with little effort. His great strength of wrist and hand enables him to bring off those amazing drives and iron shots that have made him famous. Vardon, and Wagner Harry Vardon, the old English pro. had a patr of hands like hams. Var don never appeared to be hitting the ball hard though a world of power was supplied by hla lmmenso hands. Years of hard work as a gardener before he took up golf gave him manual strength. Abe Mitchell also boasted a great pair of hands, de veloped trimming hedges and pruning trees. Perhaps the best pair of baseball hands belonged to the immortal Hans Wagner. The Pittsburgh Dutch man had hands like grappling hooks and rarely did grounders escape his clutches. In the field and at the plate his powerful hands and wrists did their part toward making Wag ner one of the greatest baseball play ers of all time. For sheer size alone Rube Lutzke. one-time Cleveland Inflelder. prob ably deserved top honors. Big hands were not enough to get him by very long, however, for he drifted back to the minors after a short spell. Schoolboy Rowe has quite a pair of hands. Any man who can pick up seven baseballs in one hand the way he does ought to be able to get a fair grip on a single pellet. That may be the secret of his great con trol. Torrance Toys With Shot Big BUI TUden has a strong hand with plenty of power in his long, muscular fingers. Over 25 years of racket swinging has developed his lower arm to abnormal proportions. Few tennis players could pour them over the net with the burning speed that Tllden could muster in his prime. It Is not great surprise that Jack Torrance can toss the 10-pound shot to heretofore undreamed of dis tances when you observe the way he toys with the heavy iron ball. He can almost bury the weight in his huge hands which are well In pro portion to his 290-pound bulk. His great wrists snap like the uncoiling of a steel spring to give him prodi gious distance when he puts the shot. Strong hands are the chief stock in trade of a fighter. A terrific punch Is a liability without hands strong enough to withstand the Impact. Col. Moskberger Making Recovery PORTLAND. April 17.
