ORECOX, TUESDAY, JUNE 4, 1935 Babe Through Gives Last Interview on Controversy With Fuchs WANTED TO QUIT BEFORE BRAVES - MADE TRIP WEST First Jam With President Of Team Over Signing Tick ets For Boston Clothing Store Owner Is Claim. Bt EDWARD J. NEIL AiMH-latcd Preu Sports Writer NEW YORK, June 4 (APIA teeth , Ing mountain of man was Oeorge Herman Ruth today, but all the ar guments tn the world, all the hot words, bitter recriminations that have pawed between him and the Boston Braves couldn't hide this epochal line for baseball's history: Babe Ruth Is sll dons. His final turbulent exchange with Emll Fuches, president of the Braves, and Bill McKechnle. manager of the club, served today only to emphasize the completeness of the passing of the man who for 91 straight years has been making major league his tory. The Babe admits he's through as a ball player, and It's hardly likely a single club in either major league would chance the grief that followed , Ruth to Boston, even though he did bring swollen gate receipts along with It. Not Wantrd An Associated Press poll of the big league owners Indicates that none have anything but an academic Inter cat In him and his future. The Babe nursed his wounds In his apartment, made plans for an extend ed vacation, and for all the golf he's wanted to play In the summer time all these years. He went out with the final blast of McKechnle, whom he had taken great pains to defend, ringing In his cars. Blnce the Babe announced Bun day he was through, during the hot words that whipped back and forth between Ruth and Fuchs, McKechnle kept his peace. When the Babe got home yester day. In anything but the triumph that used to greet him, newspaper; znen awaited him aa of old. "I'm glad you're here," he said. "I'm going to tell you about this thing right from the bottom. Then I'm not going to discuss It again. It's bad for baseball. "The main thing In a nutshell Is this. Judge Fuchs got all he could out of me. He wanted to get rid of me, because he could no longer pay my salary IU&.000 for three years. Hut he didn't know how he could go About It. Instead of coming to me and asking nie to retire, which X would havo done, he starts passing stories around, trying to force me to QUlt. "I had my first Jam with Fuchs," Ruth BHlrt, "when I refused to go to a clothing atore In Boston ami sign 00 tickets the storekeeper agreer to buy for a game If I appeared. We bad a hot argument and he called It off. X guess that's what being vice president meant. Wanted to Quit "Before we started west on the last trip, I told Fuchs and McKechnle I was through, but they talked to me about the advance aales out there, pleaded with me to say. Fuchs said, Mf you quit now I might Just as well toss in the sponge too.' X said, 'O. k.. JudRe, 1 11 go." "We had big crowds. t htt three homers In Pittsburgh. It waa like old times. X felt great. We got to Cincinnati and the diamond was hard. 1 hurt my knee. Then In Philadel phia, Chlozxa, their second baseman, bit one to me and before I got U he was croAslng the plate. When I aaw that I knew I was done. McKechnle Pal "McKechnle and I got along like a couple of kids. He phoned nie Bun day nlRht and he was almost crying. 'Don't believe anything you see lu the pnpers supposed to be from me,' he said. It's a lie.' 'He aked me when X waa leaving. He came down to see me off. He said he was sorry I waa going; that he wished me all the luck In the world. What a guy he turned out to be." There's only one thing the Babe would like now from the Braves. "I'd like to buy my uniform." he said. "I guess that's the last one."
