George Herman Ruth, wife and general manager of baseball's Bambino, Ib letting Babe take things easier these days. The Babe laid away hie bat after the Boston Braves released him and took up golf. Mrs, Ruth, who once kept the home-run king on a diet and a clicking schedule of regu larity, thinks It's all right for him to let down a little after 22 years on the diamond. She's still handling hit business, however, and looking out for bis Interests. She's turned down some 100.000 worth of contracts since the former home run king .was sent home from Boston Just because, "The Babe has been the Idol of American youth for a long while end I won't have him mixed up in anything that Isn't Just right." I Ruth's business has always been I baseball and as far as his manager wife knows It will continue to be. However, she la not sure whether he I will attend the mid -winter meeting of club owners but supposes he will. Master Golfer Carded Pair of "Aces" . But Says "Wee" Putt Was Greatest Shot Merry Honk Honk Given Hunters As Geese Grow Wise WALLA WALLA, Nov. 1. Iff) Geese on the Eureka Flats near here have adopted "safety first" as their motto and aa a result are out-smarting hunters. Hunters said the geese feed In the morning before 7 o'clock, the hour shooting starts, then fly back to the rivers to remain until after 4 p. m., when hunting for the day la at an end.

The elderly man was on his way to work, he told hospital attendants, nd was pushing a two-wheeled cart before him as he crossed the street. Tho cart waa demolished, members of the city fire force said. City police were checking all pos sible clues that could lead to the Identity of the hit-and-run driver. ahlandTlans (Associated Press Sports Writer.) HIOHLAND. N. C P, The great est stroke In the brilliant golf career of Bobby Jones was a putt I At least Bobby thinks so. Reminiscing of , his 23-year com petitive career, Bobby readily singled out a 12-foot putt for a tie with Al Esplnoea on the last green of the fourth round In the 1929 United States open at Winged Foot as the prize stroke of them all, "It waa that or nothing," ssld Bobby. "I had lost sli strokes to Esplnosa on the preceding six holes." Bobby's pitch to the home green rolled Into a, deep bunker. A second pitch stopped 12 feet short. There was a curving "rainbow" line along a slope to the cup. "Most Perfect Putt." 'Well. I Just managed to sink It," Jones explained in a alow drawl. But Al Watrous, who was playing with Bobby, called It the most perfect putt he ever saw, "If that hole hod been a four-and-a quarter-Inch circle on the green," said Watrous, "the ball would nave stopped In the center of It.1 Jones won the 36-hole play-off next day by 23 strokes, defeating Espl nosa, who he had tied at 204 strokes. Jones, who retired In 1030 after taking the four major championships of thesvorid In one season. Is recuner- I atlng leisurely at his summer cottage I here from an appendix operation last June. Turning to freak ahots. Bobby leadlly rocalled the "lllypad shot" he made at Intcrlachen In 1930, a spec tacular etroke that probably saved him from defeat In the lait United States open championship In which he played, his "grand slam" year. Ills Luckiest Shot. "The ninth hole at Intcrlachen." he recalled. "Is a par 8 which can be done as a normal 4 If you drive close to the small lake and hit a good second shot cross to the green. If you drive out to the left and go around the lake, It's a par 8, all right, "I hod hit a drive fairly well down toward the shore, but my spoon shot well, It wasn't exactly topped, but f t ' ' 4 am. or. - i BOBBY JONES Ilko a drowned ball, with me playing the fourth shot from the bank of the lake and prospects of a 0 or maybe a 7. "Sure enough, the ball hit the sur face of the lake about half way across. A lot of people Insisted afterward that It hit a lily pad, bounced and hit another Illy pad they were pretty thick around there and bounced again, finally hopping out on the bank Just short of the green. "Anyway, it got out on the bank. It traveled like a flat stone akinrvd It was hit right In the back; one of j across the water. It waa Dcrhaos the those line drives that don't get up luckleat shot I ever piayed In a cham more than a foot or two. It looked J plonahlp." Low One Hole Four Times. The leading "freak" shot of Jones' career probably waa a niblick blast on the putting surface within six feet of the flag on the Cape hole at the National Links of America in the foursomes section of the first Wal ker Cup match with Great Britain. Technically speaking and not be ing too strict with the definition of "stroke" Bobby lost the hole for hie aide four times with one shot. The ball, pitched by Bobby'a part ner, Jess Sweetaer, Imbedded Itself to the equator In the soft green. There was nothing to do but blast It wltn a niblick. It popped up, hit the club, glanced, struck .he player's left foot and rolled over near the cup. The American, pair thus lost the hole (1) because the ball had struck the club after It waa played; (2) be cause It had hit the player; (3) be cause the player'had struck a mov ing ball, and (4) because Bobby had played a stroke out of turn. Very likely, this wsa the most con clusively lost hole on penalties ever played lh an Important match. In cidentally, Jones and the Americans went on to win the Walker cup. Bobby Jonas has mada two boles-ln-one, the first on the 178-yard 11th hole at East Lake, Atlanta his old home layout In 1027. and the other on the Hill course, Augusta, Ga., a No. 7 pitch shot to a hilltop green. In 1931. It was suggested that his batting average on holea-ln-one might be In teresting, If an eat 1 mate could be made of the number of boles he had played during his career on which an ace was feasible the par-3 holes. So Bobby took a pad and pencil and jotted down the approximate statistics. Figuring he played on an average of four times a week from 1909 through 1930. April to September, in clusive, once a week during the six winter month , and about two rounds a week In the five years since his re tirement. Jonea estimated he had made 3.380 lS-hole tours. That meant Bobby had played a total of 60,840 holes, with an aver age of four par-3 holes per round, or 13.520 one-shotters. Having aced two of them. Bobby has averaged one nole-ln-one In 6,760 chances. FOOT BALI THIS WEEK WRESTLERS TAKE Mack Li Hard.
