Included In the printed pro
gram for New Bern’s State Babe
Ruth Tournamentls an excellent
story about the one and only
Sultan of Swat.
New Bern Jaycees relied on
the writings of Dan Daniel and
H, G. Salslnger as their source
of material and couldn’t have
shown better Judgment.
However, for the many who
would like to know how the
Babe got his nickname, we’d
like to pass along this infor
mation. Especially so, since
it has a North Carolina setting.
Signed to a professional con
tract by the Baltimore Orioles,
Ruth reported for spring train
ing and came to bat for the
first time in an exhibition game
at Fayetteville.
Swinging for all he was worth,
the pudgy rookie homered over
the rlghtfleld wall. “Look at
the baby,” somebody yelled.
“Baby” was shortened to
“Babe” on subsequent appear
ances at the plate, and a famous
sports name was born.
It has been our good for
tune to personally know Ruth,
Ted Williams, and Joe Di
maggio. All would have to be
HANK’S GAL .... Linda
Foster, a young attractive
blonde, will be seen in the
Friday night comedy series on
NBC TV titled “Hank.” She’ll
be Hank’s girl friend.

classed as top Immortals in the
world of baseball, and each
went out of his way to treat
us kindly.
Perhaps because we first saw
the Bambino close at hand as
a small boy brimming with hero
worship, he has always remain
ed most vivid in our memory.
Off the field, even as on, he
reigned supreme.
Despite his size, he moved
with tte ease of a cat-stepping
lightly and with little effort.
Although neither the Babe nor
Ted Williams speared to us
to have quite as much grace
fulness as Dimaggio, their co
ordination was terrific.
Another fhmous man, Douglas
Fairbanks, displayed this same
quality as a movie actor.
Grantland Rice, greatest of all
sports writers, recognized this
fact, and said Fairbanks too
could have geen a star athlete.
Home should be an oratorio
of the memory, singing to all
our after life melodies and
harmonies of old-remembered
joy,—Beecher,
