The Seaforth News, 1954-05-13, Page 7Ise rHECalvert SPORTS COLUMN 540tete. VI9c0404 • 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. "Your comments and suggestions for this colulnn teill be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c/o William W.

How badly attention is need- le shown by ys report of Dr, oy, seventy -year old ex -clergy - an and noted lecturer and Writer, who handles CARE'S se- *lvlties in South Korea: "There are undoubtedly 1,500,-• OW - SE S E L I S SEed 000 cases of active TB in South Korea, about 7 per cent of the population. Half of these are in urgent need of hospitalization and isolation, the majority chil- drenand 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- tlon 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 M tent about 50'x110', where there ie no light, even in the middle of rho day, and no fretlh air. They are living In aheeke made of cardboard and boor cans; In station waiting rooms on the concrete floor; under b r id g es over foul-smelling streams and in wretched hovels made of Straw matting," Help!

L; ght-footed Ballet -- Ballerina Alicia Markova weighs in at Royal Albert Hall in London, England, at a "heavy" 104 pounds. The Tight -footed lightweight was recently refused permission to dance at Liverpool concert hall, for fear vibration from her dancing would damage delicate stage machinery. 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 - mussels in Europe survived the war. Their home was periodical- ly looted and continuously ne- glected, and only now are things beginning to be put in order again. For many centuries pearl -mus- sels were fished from the Danube where it passes through the rocky mountains of Bohemia. In 1923 a Vienna schoolmaster, hav- ing heard of Japanese success with cultured pearls from oysters, joined farces with a German pro- fessor of physiology in establish- ing a cultured -pearl factory near Wash Your Lungs!

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. PURE LANOLIN 0 MI. JAR, 1t1101CIAI, 480 Om Soalle bun,Whin.
