Sox stepped up to the plate, casually hit a home -run into the upper tier of seats, and trotted around• the base -paths to a polite smattering of applause. The big young man who sent the ball hurtling .int° the upper tier of seats for his firsthome-run in the major leagues was Gearge Herman Ruth, the "Babe," as he later became affectionately known to millions. Babe Ruth had moved up to the major J.eagues from the Baltimore club of the International, where his southpaw pitch- ing had attracted attention. It was the third inning of a game runless, up to that point, that this young rookies stepped up to face the veteran right-hander of the Yankees, Jack Warhop. Perhaps Warhop held the' youngster in light esteem. At any rate, Warhop pitched a ball that was a little too good, and away it atreaked,,into the far reaches of the distant stands„ a tre- mendous drive. It was the first of 714 home -runs in major league play, and Babe Ruth changed the course of baseball from the careful play for a single run to the "big inning," when the sluggers suddenly gang up on a weakening pitcher, and hammer home - i` runs in droves. But it is an even greater feat, one which you won't find in the records, which goes to the eternal credit of the brawny Babe. When the Black Sox scandal broke, and in 1920 it became known that the Chicago American League team had conspired to "throw" a world's series, the sports world was stunned, and baseball trembled to its foundations. It was undoubtedly a crisis. Baseball was at the forks of the road, facing.- the possibility of public ostracism and dis- favour. Then along came Ruth. His big black hat started to pound Out home -runs at prodigious pace. Sold to the Yankees that year, he hammered out 54 home -runs, batted .376. The next year, he hit 59 home -runs, and the scurrilous Sox were forgotten amid the thunder of Ruth's big bat, that carried on for another 14 seasons, and saved baseball from disaster. That was Babe Ruth's greatest feat of all. "Your comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c/o William W.

Sy BOB LIS There are almost two and one baif billion people in the world. !'we -thirds of them live on the verge of starvation and about We. same percentage are illiter- ate. These 1,60,000,000 people 111re unindustrialized and .in most raises are colonials. The fruits of their labour flow inexorably to other coun- tries and they get only one- sixth of the world's income. The greater part of the hu - pan race live in want, disease, ignorance and economic slavery. Canadians are Lucky Canadian. farmers are com- plaining about lost markets. and dipping prices for their prod- ucts. Canadian workers are worried About the prospect of having to Maintain their families on un- esmployment insurance which amounts to a thousand dollars ter year. Yet India, with three or four leundred million people, has a ter capita income of about `EEiirty dollars. Bow lucky we in Canada are, was brought home by a message today 's mail. Misery in Korea CARE, the non sectarian and a3on-profit welfare organization Berating in forty countries, in pp special letter appeals for help dor the hungry and depressed people of Korea. Bow badly attention is need- r0 by a report of Dr. oy, seventy -year old ex-clergy- oan and noted lecturer and ilrriter, who handles CARE'S ac- tivities In South Korea: "There are undoubtedly 1,500,- 000 cases of active TB in South Korea, about 7 per cent of the population. Half pf these are in urgent need of hospitalization and isolation,- the majority chil- dren and young people." "In all Korea only 2,155 hos- pital beds are available for these people and in Pusan not a sin- gle one. So a number of chil- dren are being treated as ambu- latory cases in the general hos- pitals and clinic, though hun- dreds of children are dying every month who could be saved if they had only three things: food, a hospital bed and drugs." "Hundreds of these sick chil- dren are living in conditions of squalor and misery, crowded in with and infecting healthy chil- dren in the same families and suffering from cold, malnutri- tion and lack of medical care." Hundreds are Dying "They are dying in overcrowd- ed refugee camps where as many as 140 people are living in a tent about 50'x110', where there is no light, even in the middle of the day, and no fresh • air. They are living in ahaeke made of cardboard and beer cans; in station waiting rooms on the concrete floor; under bridges over foul-stnelling streams and in wretched hovels made of straw matting." Help! Help! There is nothing to add to these words. People are starv- ing, children are dying. Can we help? Will we help?

Little Joe Jacobs Had Color A -Plenty Joe Jacobs is gone now, but the picturesque character of the little man with the big cigar still 's lives in the hearts of the men who frequent Cauliflower Alley: And for all the laughs and jokes and the shrewd gags he pulled in his lifetime, there is still a ;• , lot of solid substance in Yussel e Jacobs' ' career as manager of prize fighters. • Little Joe was as quick-witted, as bold and imaginative' as any man ever connected with the ring. No one will forget his, weird but enduring phrases, "We' wuz robbed!" and "I shudda, stood in bed." And the stories told about the wonderful little guy are enduring proof of his • cleverness. .After Mike McTigue won the; championship from Battling Sika; in Dublin on St. Patrick's Da Joe Jacobs did a complete sou•' , and put McTigue on a `14, similar to the one Siki head star on. He • took bold Michael tea:: Columbia, Georgia, to fight the." pride of the South, Young Strib- ling. However, Yussel took one small precaution. brought along his own referee. The bout was a very close one; and McTigue was awarded the.. decision. After the fight, a big ' mob of local fans let their emotions get the better o1 their - sportsmanship to the extent of surrounding the hotel in which Jacobs and McTigue were stay- ing. The cry went up to hang the little manager for having stolen the decision from. -the rightful winner, Stribling. The little guy with the big i g a r didn't scare so easily. Calmly, he faced the howling mob, took the cigar from his mouth and shouted, "All right, you guys! Go ahead and hang late, if you wanna, I can't stop you. But lemme tell you, I guarantee that if you hang 1ne, .. there will be some guys down here from N'Yawk that will blow this here whole dump right Off the map!" Actually, there was probably no one outside his own family who gave a hoot whether Joe ;was strung up or not. Neverthe- less, the threat of reprisal was enough to scare the crowd off for a while, long enough to give , manager and fighter the chance to escape with whole skins and the precious light - heavyweight title. • On another occasion, little Joe wandered down to Madame Bey's training camp to watch his featherweight champion, Andre Routis, go through his paces. There he caught sight of an unknown German heavyweight •:sin training. One look was enough. ;Joe took over the management :;;•0f the unknown and began to sing his praises. "Felias," he said confidently, "I got a heavyweight 'who looks like Dempsey, so help rile, weaves and bobs like Demp- ' sey, he is Dempsey! Or maybe lis twin yet. He'll win the title for sure!" And win it he did, thanks to be Jacobs' quick mind. For the nown German was flat ori his ` -; grovelling in the resin and ,r:, caning with pain, when the est -thinking little man with the 1e' 1 g a r leaped up screaming, "Foul! My fighter was fouled!" ',The referee who had not seen a low blow finally awarded the .;:title to the recumbent fighter on ;''The say-so of one Of the judges who claimed to have seen it. Actually, on one but Joe Jacobs had seen the foul deed per- petrated. Fast thinking gave Joe a champion in Max Schmeling, first man in heavyweight history to win a title in a relaxed posi- tiOn on the canvas. Late r, the little character f o u n d himself an overstuffed bouncer by the name of Tony Galento. This boisterous clown almost brought Joe another championship with a single blow • landed on the face of Joe Louis. Unfortunately f o r Jacobs, Joe • did not stay down. When he did get up, what he did to Two -Ton Tony was ours murder. A lot of guys In the boxing game did a quick gulp when Joe Jacobs suddenly passed away. '>They remembered his record as manager. Five champions did J o e handle: Frankie Genera, Routis, kinf of the feathers; Jack cutis, king of the. feathers; Jack Delaney and Mike McTigue, light -heavyweight title - holders; ' and Max Schmeling, heavyweight champion.

Up to 1935 about 200 mussels were "inoculated" every year, and when the enterprise was auctioned the stock was 50,000 mussels, of which 80 yielded pearls of the very finest grade. In 1949, Professor Hans Gross, of 'nearby Schaerding, undertook to revive Europe's only pearl - culture plant. At the moment things are still in the experi- mental stage, but in about ten years the undertaking may be proving extremely lucrative. There is ne difference between the pearls produced by the river pearl -mussel and those produced by the sea pearl -mussel. The system of "inoculation," exploit- ed so successfully by the Japan- ese, produces pearls as fine as the real variety, and does away with the practice of inserting an arti- ficial irritant into the living oys- ter or mussel. German and Austrian cultured pearls may well be competing in a few years with those from Japan. PURE LANOLIN R LB. JAR, SPECIAL QBo E'er yoalp, hair, skin. Softens, soothon, proteote and Keele.
