Bates who went out to the old ball

The delegates were part of a
crowd of 15.874 funs who flocked

• • The
Mrs. Ruth Sends
Mickey Mantle
Good Wishes
By MILTON R1CHMAN
I'nited Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK <U.B —"If the Babe
were alive today he'd be rooting
for Mickey Mantle to break his
record."
That was the message sent to
Mantle today by Mrs. Babe 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
■tie to talk about the Babe's home
run record. You understand. 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.
Tells of Visit
She talked of how she had vis-
ited the Babe's resting place Sun-
day at the Gate of Heaven Cem-
etery 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 60 homers in one season.
"Let's see now," she said,
"Mickey would have to hit 19
homt; runs in the 41 games remain
ing to break the Babe's record.
Well, nothing is impossible. Rec-
ords 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 136
times, So far. Mantle, has gotten
91 walks, isn't that so?"
Told that was correct, Mrs.
Ruth went on:
Recalls Intentional Walks
"Why I rmeember seeing Babe
walked purposely with the bases
full even though if 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 cer-
tainly 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.
"September is the month that
counts," she said finaly. "Several
other players have come close be-
fore but that last month of the
season—the one in which Babe hit
17 home runs—that's the month

Wild Duck Flight
Will Equal 195S
WASHINGTON <L'.R — Fall
flights of wild ducks are expected
to equal those of last year. The
Interior Department announced
this today along with its new mi -
gratory waterfowl regulations loi
the coming season.
The new hunting regulations
govern the general length of the
seasons, bag and possession limits
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
alter states make their selections
and the Fifh and Wildlife Service
approves tneni.
The regulations are posted for
each of the nation's four fly ways
—Atlantic, Mississippi, Central
and Pacific. The flyways are the
migratory routes of the birds.
Se-ison lengths and bag and pos-
session limits are about the same
as last year.
Discovered in 1807, it was r.ot
until 1826 that the first pellet of
aluminum was actually produce!
by the Danish scientist Oersted,
and not until 20 years after that
that the German scientist Wohlei
was able to produce enough to de.
termine its specific gravity and
thus one of its outstanding charac-
teristics — lightness.

that really tells."
Piessed for a prediction, Mrs.
Ruth begged off.
"Honestly," she said, "I wouldn't
know whieh way to predict. All
I can say is that I w ish Mickey |
the best of luck from the bottom
of my heart. And I know if the
Babe were around now, he'd be
rooting for Mickey.
