At this time I would like to introduce a boy who will be under the leadership of Babe Ruth When babe takes over his new job as director of baseball for the American Legion Representing the boys of the American Legion Speaking for every American boy ladies and gentlemen here is Larry Cutler. Thank you, Mr. Chandler

It's a great honor to be here just to be able to tell Babe Ruth how proud we are to have him back in baseball back where he

belongs and to know that Babe Ruth is going to be with us kids well that's the biggest and best thing that could happen in baseball from all of us kids It's well to have you back.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Bammino, the Sultan of Swat, Babe, You very much ladies and gentlemen. You know how pain my voice sounds?

Then you come to the boys you see representing themselves today in your national pastime. The only real game I think in the world, baseball,

As a rule, some people think if you give a football or a baseball or something like that, naturally, there are athletes right away. But you can't do that in baseball. You gotta start from way down the bottom when you're six or seven years of age.
