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.

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.
A few brant and Canadian
honkera were bagged during re
cent days. They apparently didn't
know how bo tell time.

(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,

toward the shore, but my spoon shot

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.
