Aging Bambino Cavorts
With Gusto in Field
Dizzy Dean Hurt, May Be
Out of Game for Week
By llfrlfrt W. Baikfr
Associated Presa Sport Writer.
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.

dlum to see a brilliant pitching duel
between Wen Perrell. veteran right
hander of the Bo ton Red Sox. and
Vernon (Goofy) Ocmez, a'lm aouth
paw of the Yankees.
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.

Sunday, May 5. will find th Med
ford Merchants laying down th first
barrage of the '35 Southern Oregon
baseball league, when they open thetr
season's engagements against the
Ewauna Box company from Klamath
Palls In this city. On the same date
the last year's pennant-winning
Grants Pass nine will swap lunges
with Ashland In the climate city.
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. Medford can claim
no such honors, however, stating that
their stara aro on the way up.

NEW YORK RETURN
AS FISTIC CENTER
T
NEW YORK, Aplrl 17. 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.

IS HEALTH HINT
CJALEM, Ore. (UP) Reducing Is a
serious business and can lead to per

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."

You sort of expect to lose a finger
or two when a big fighter or wrest
ler shakes your hand, but It Isn't
half the risk you Invite when you
entrust your digits to the vise-like
grip of one of those golf profea
sionals who looks no more than ord
inarily strong In hla baggy links
clothes.
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.
