BOSTON, June 2. - Calling Judge Emil Fuchs a “double-crosser” and a “liar,” Babe Ruth today severed his connection with the Boston Braves, and, at the same time, announced his voluntary retirement from baseball. The Ruth announcement, delivered in the clubhouse after a game in which the Braves beat the Giants, 2 to 0, produced consternation. The Bam, cursing and swearing in rage, declared that if he had to work “for a man like Fuchs” he would never lift another bat to his shoulders.
