McNeive, Sig Ep pitcher, set the pace for his team by tossing a one-hit game against Oread hall. Wriglesworth and Garich powered homers for the winners. Hermann, Delta Upsilon pitcher, turned in a three hit job for his team. The DU's had little trouble in defeating the Kappa Efa's 24-3. Heisler allowed the Fly-by-Nights four hits for another tight pitch performance while the Kappa Sig's were gathering 11 runs to win without trouble 11-4.

Babe Ruth Is Home; Feels Much Improved
New York—(UP)—Babe Ruth was back home today ready to tackle his new job as head of sandlot baseball activities for the Ford Motor company, following a two-week vacation at Miami Beach, Fla.
It was the first time he had been permitted to take any exercise since he underwent a serious neck operation here early last February.
He arrived at Newark, N.J., airport last night with his wife, Mrs. Claire Ruth, and his nurse. After being driven home to his apartment on riverside drive, he fell asleep almost immediately.
Ruth will make a command performance next Sunday at Yankee Stadium as honor guest of "Babe Ruth Day," an occasion being observed in all major league parks.

Cincinnati—(UP)—The one year suspension of Brooklyn Dodger manager Leo Durocher was a closed incident today as far as Baseball Commissioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler was concerned.
Durocher Case Closed Says A. B. Chandler
Chandler turned down personal appeals for leniency yesterday which were made by Branch Rickey, president of the Dodgers; Ford Frick president of the National league; and Judge Henry L. Ughetta and Walter O'Malley, stockholders in the Brooklyn club.
The four men made a special trip here from New York to ask Chandler for reconsideration of the one year suspension he imposed on Durocher April 9 for "conduct detrimental to baseball."
"The Commissioner declined the request, stating that the Durocher case was closed."
Democratic Labor Unions
Imperative For Democracies
Los Angeles, Calif.—(ACP)—That the preservation of democratic labor unions is necessary for the preservation of democracy was declared recently by Herbert K. Sorrell, president of the Conference of Studio Unions, in an address at the University of Southern California.
Eston—(UP)—If you're a man and feel it beneath your dignity to climb ladders to hang pictures on clean walls, here's an excuse:
Women are better adapted for the job safety experts say.
Ladder Climbing Dangerous For Men
As the family breadwinner, you can tell your wife it would be risky business for you to clamber up a steep stairway to that picture of your mother-in-law.
You can quote authorities at the 26th annual Massachusetts Safety Conference as saying every fifth man who mounts a ladder in his home suffers injury. Women have far fewer injuries, the experts say, because they're more careful and more agile.
