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."

here, was made to suit the conven
ience of the men. Holmes and Oll
bert were fined $28 and costs of $3 50.
and paid both fines and costs. The
two Harringtons were assessed the
me fines and costs, both of which
were remitted by the court.
Although Diamond Lake Is In Doug
