Babe Would
Be Rooting
For Mickey
New York UPJ "If the Babe
were alive today he'd be rooting
for Mickey Mantlee to break his
record."
That was the message sent to
Mantle today by Mrs. Ba6e Ruth
on the eighth anniversary of her
husband's death.
"You know how the Babe
was." Mrs. Ruth continued. "He
was jealous of no one.
"As for me, I wish Mickey the
best of luck. It's kind of hard for
me to talk about the Babe'
home run record. You under
stand. The record has stood now
for 29 years . . ."
Mrs. Ruth gazed out the win
dow of her apartment from
where she could see the Hudson
river below.
She talked of how she had vis
ited the Babe's resting place Sun-
day at the Gate of Heaven ceme
tery in Valhalla, N.Y. She sighed
a moment and then, a little re
luctantly, returned to. Mantle's
chances of breaking Ruth's rec
ord of homers in one season.
Nothing Impossible
"Let's see now," she said,
"Mickey would have .to hit 19
home runs in the 41 games re
maining to break the Babe's rec
ord. Well, nothing is impossible.
Records are broken every day,
But it will be quite difficult.
"I think the amount of walks
he'll get will play a big part in
whether Mickey breaks the rec
ord or not. The year Babe broke
the record he was walked 138
times. So far. Mantle has gotten
91 walks, isn t that so?"
Told that she was correct, Mrs.
Ruth went on:
"Why I remember seeing Babe
walked purposely with the bases
full even though it forced in a
run. I've often heard Ty Cobb
and other baseball men say,
"better four balls for one base
than one ball for four bases.' Yet,
I certainly think those pitchers
won't make it any easier for
Mickey. But batting both right
and left-handed like he does, he
has a wonderful chance."

Pacific Flyway States Can
Pick Identical Migratory
Waterfowl Hunting Season
By RICHARD C. SIZEMORE
United Press Staff Writer
Washington (U.PJ Fall
flights of wild ducks are ex
pected to equal those of last
year. The Interior department
announced this today along with
its new migratory waterfowl
regulations for the coming sea
son.
The new hunting regulations
govern the general length of the
seasons, bag and possession lim
its and shooting hours.
Specific hunting dates will be
selected by the states within the
general limits of Oct. .1 to Jan.
15, 1957. They will be announced
after states make their selec
tions and the fish and wildlife
service approves them.
Four Flyways
The regulations are posted for
each of the nation's four fly
ways A 1 1 a nit i c, Mississippi,
Central and Pacific. The flyways
are the migratory routes of the
birds.
Season lengths and bag and
possession limits are about the
same as last year.
The Pacific flyway states may
again select identical seasons on
ducks and geese, except Ross'
geese, of 80 consecutive full
days, or two seasons aggregating
ii tun days.
All states in the Pacific fly
way will again have an option
of choosing a seven-day bag and
possession limit of ducks, or a
bag limit of six daily with a
possession limit of 12. In addi
tion to this limit, hunters may
also bag an additional three
birds pintails or widgeons,
which are a menace to crops in
the area.
Other Limits
The daily bag and posession
limit on geese, except Ross'
geese, in the Pacific flyway
states will again be six, but not

season ticket offering appealing.
The six home games come on

a new foe on the Tornado sched

more than three of the dark
species of geese may be included
in the limit.
Additional restrictions on the
daily bag and possession limit
for Canada geese in certain des
ignated areas of Arizona, Call
fornia, Idaho, Oregon and Utah
will again be in effect. In these
areas the hunting season on Can
ada geese must end on Dec. 15..
The Klamath and Tule Lake
refuge area in California will
be treated as though it were in
Oregon and will be given the
same hunting season on water
fowl as Oregon selects.
Interior officials said this is
to permit a uniform season both
sides of a public waterfowl hunt
ing area bisected by state bound
aries. The Pacific flyway states are
Arizona, California, Idaho, Ne

that there was nobody coming

The housing man who does,
and always did, have a way with
words, said the Russian hacker
"cut things close."
A Game To All
"Russian pedestrians don't
seem to worry," he said. "They
seem to play it as a game to
see how close they can come to
an oncoming fender without
getting blood on the driver's
windshield. For some reason, '
though, there are few bad traf

The group traveled some 6,000
miles in the Soviet Union by
plane, river boat and car.
The plane rides were interest
ing for the Americans. The Rus
sians provided two planes, the
Russian version of our DC-3s.
Pilots were good. Most of the
landings were on grass strips.
"The Russians feel that grass
is safer to land on than con
crete." Bob said. "And when we
landed we had no seat belts.
You could stand -up, if you
wanted to."
"We had no hops over six
hours," he said. "We were
served sliced cucumbers, toma
toes, caviar and jelly fish. Filling
enough in bumpy weather."
Russian hostesses wear no of
