• Thirty-nine years ago this week at the
New York Polo Grounds, a young mall
wearing the show garb of the Boston
Iced 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 Ivan who sent the ball
hurtling into the upper tier of seats fOr his first home -run
hi the niajer leagues was Geargo Herman Ruth, the "Babe,"
as he later became affectionately known to millions,
Babe Ruth had moved up to the major leagues 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 Warhol).
Perhaps Warhop held the youngster in light esteem, At any
rate, Warhop pitched a ball that was a little too good, and away
It streaked, 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-
runs in dr'Oves.
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-
fevOur.
Then along came Ruth. His big black bat started to pound
out home -rims at prodigious pace. Sold to the Yankees that
year, he hammered out 54 home -runs, batted .375,
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 ail.

Rees, Calvert Ontario Sales Manager, 431 Yonge

"In all Korea only 2,155 hos-

people and in Pusan not a sin-

Little ,doe Jacobs
Had Color
A -Plenty
Joe Jacobs is gone now, but
the picturesque character of the
little man with the big cigar still
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
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
wus robbed!" and "1 shudda
stood in bed." And the stories
told about the wonderful little
guy are enduring proof of his
cleverness.
After Mike McTigue won the
ehampionship from Battling Siki
in Dublin on St. Patrick's Day,
JOe Jacobs did a complete switch
and put McTigue on aspot
similar to the one Falkl bad stood
on. He took bold Michael to
Columbia, Georgia, to fight the
pride Of the South, Young Strib-
ling. However, Yussel took one
shall 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 of their
aportsmanship 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
e 1 g a r didn't scare 50 easily.
Calmly, he faced the howling
mob, took the elgar from his
mouth and shouted, "All right,
you guys! Go ahead and hang
me, if you wanna, I can't atop
you. But lemma tell you, I
guarantee that if you hang me,
there will be some guys down
here from N'Ya•wlr that will blow
this here whole dump right off
the map!"

Just Outdoors? —• Tori Fayden
has been chosen to reign as
"Outdoor Fun Queen of 1954,'"
at an amusement park, She'll
turn every head on the Ferris
wheel, and visitors won't have
to enter the "Hall of Mirrors" to
lee dazzled.
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
in training. One look was enough.
Joe took over the management
of the unknown and began to
sing his praises. "Sellas," he said
confidently, "I got a heavyweight
who looks like Dempsey, se help
me, weaves and bobs like Demp-
sey, he is Dempsey! Or maybe
his twin yet. He'll win the title
for sure!"
And win it he did, thanks to
Joe Jacobs' quick mind. For the
unknown German was flat on his
back, grovelling in the resin and
groaning with pain, when the
fast -thinking little Klan with the
cigar leaped up screaming,
"Foul! My fighter was fouled!"
The referee who had not seen a
low blow finally awarded the
title to the reclunbent 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 Sehmeling,
first man in heavyweight history
to win a title in a relaxed posi-
tion on the canvas.
L at e r, the little character
f o un d himself an overstuffed
bouncer by the name of Tony
Galento. This boisterous clown
almost b r o u g ht Joe another
championship with a single blow
landed on the face of Joe Louis.
Unfortunately 1 c r Jacobs, Joe
did not stay down. When he did
Tet up, what he did to Two -Ton
ony was pure 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 0,0 handle: Frankie Genaro,
ltoutis, klnf of the feather's; Jack
cutis, king of the feathers; Jack
Delaney and Mike McTigue,
light -heavyweight title - holders;
and Max Schmeling, heavyweight
champion. A grand record for a
grand little guy!
Germans Making
Cultured Pearls
Only 2,500 out of 50,000 pearl -

For many centuries pearl -mus-

1923 a Vienna schoolmaster, hav-

joined farces with a German pro-

Passau, on the Austro -German
border.
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.
Ir) 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 no 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 successfu]ly by the Japan-
ese, produces pearls as fine as the
real variety, and does away with
the practice of inserting all arti-
ficial irritant into the living nye
ter or mussel.
German and Austrian cultured
pearls may well be competing in
a kw years with those from
Japan.
