Page Six THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, April 17, 1970 At Se«n in The Mirroi^t SPORTS of Athlotos and Evenft New Bern kids who played baseball In a local Babe Ruth League would have thoroughly enjoyed knowing the Bambino. To them he Is at most a misty legend, but no man we ever en countered remained moreaboy for a lifetime. Raised or reared as folks say now, In a Baltimore orphanage, he was as care free as a robin on the wing. He delighted In pranks, often to the dismay of the New York Yankee front office. Sometimes celebrities are disappointing when you meet then In the flesh. You could not say that about the Babe. He wore his fame as comfort ably and as unassumingly as a baggy sweater. Our first contact with the Sul tan of Swat came as a young ster. He cheerfully signed our autograph book, but forgot to return the Parker fountain pen we had handed him to write his signature. Because It was a good pen that cost us $3.50, we hated to see anyone walk off with It, so In a timid, high pitched voice we asked for Its return. Ruth gave It back, scooped us up In his big arms and roared with laughter. The last time we saw him, years after his retirement, was at Yankee Stadium while we For Top Tunes by Your Favorite Recording Stan YOUK TEEN-AOE MUSIC CENTER IS HAWKS RADIO S APPLIANCE CO. 327 MIDDLE STREET Fine Seafood Is Only Minutes Away, Pre pared in True Tar Heel Style, at LAURA & RUSSELL'S Bayboro When You Say It With Flowers . .

It was a coolish October af ternoon, and when the Babe ar rived he was wearing his fam iliar tan topcoat and tan cap. A mounting hum of fan to fan comment surged through the crowd of better than 50,000 spectators, climaxed by an ova tion as he took the final minc ing steps to a box back of home plate. The Sultan of Swat was des tined to be In the House that Ruth built again, on a sadder day. Racked by an Incurable disease that would shortly take his life, he would speak hoarse ly Into assembled microphones, and thank the fans and all Amer ica for their tribute to him. Our only son, now grown,has a baseball we gave him, auto graphed by Ruth. What we couldn’t give him were the personal memories we have of the greatest of them all.
