VESSELS (A. P. Sports Writer) NEW YORK, May 7.—Nine years make a lot of difference in one's waist line—they have made a lot of difference Babe Ruth’s but they haven't made any change in his mighty cut at the ball. It'’s the same old Ruthian wallop. The Babe’s legs, graduaily yield- ing under the crush of their 215- pound burden, are slowing up a bit, but that matters little to the home run king. He gets his swing from his massive shoulders and if the drive he hit into the LEFT field stands for his first 1929 homer means anything, those sturdy shoulders still can produce a ter- rific blow. That Ruthian punch will be more welcome than usual to the Yankees this year, for the world’s champions’ pitching staff is hav- ing trouble getting started. Yet, as long as the Babe is available to help throw grief into the paths of the enemy hurlers the Hugmen's public probably will manage to sur- vive the strain. The Yanks, without effective pitching are no worse off than many major league clubs who in addition to having no depend- able flippers lack a Bambino to help keep up their won column side of the standings. What the Babe is interested in this year is his own home run ac- count. If it is up to its usual standard, the 35-year-old slugger will be in line for another fat con- tract when the time comes around next winter. Here is Ruth’s home run stand- ing for nine years he has been drawing pay from the Yankees: Year HR.
