BABE RUTH WON’T
MAKE UP MIND
WETHER THRU
NEW YORK, Sept. 1. — Babe
Ruth’s long and glamorous career
as a regular, during which he
climbed to a niche higher than
any other occupied by a baseball
hero ends with this season.
The mighty “King of the Swat,”
who heretofore has been defiant in
the face of reports that his play -
ing days were over, now admits
that he is through.
His words merely climaxed what
his wobbly legs and slowness afield
have foretold. “The legs won’t
stand it,” Ruth explained today. “E
might as well hang up the spikes.
I’m through.”
Asked where he would like to
be next year Ruth said he would
like to be at bat again. He said he
had not really made up his mind
what he would do next year. Hus
legs might be better and then per
haps not. The one thing he is not
going to do now is to make up his
plans for 1934. Ruth said he had
not been offered a manager’s job
yet and a person can't "manage a
bail club unless he has a club.” I
don’t own a club.” Ruth said.
Later Babe Ruth indignantly de
nied the published story in a New
York newspaper saying that he in
tended to hang up his spikes at
the end fo the season. The Babe
told newspaper men that “So much
has been written about my plans
for the next year that I wish to
make myself clear on this matter
I will make no decision about re
tiring from baseball until I’m con
vinced that I can no longer play
I will not know until about 1934 and
until I’ve had some Spring training
I hope to play next year and I be
lieve^I will be able to do so.
