Transcript

Way ball, play ball with Babe Ruth, play ball with the Navy. The United States Navy brings you the adventures of Babe Ruth. And here to tell you about the immortal Babe is the man who knew him so well.

His pal, the popular sports reporter Steve Martin. One of Babe Ruth's most exciting adventures took place when I was at sea on Navy maneuvers. Eddie, who was the Aggies bad boy at the time, is going to tell you how the big fella risked his life against a tough Chicago hootlem. But before you meet Eddie, I know you'll be interested

in a short message from Jackson Beck. Come in, Jack. Well, Steve, a few minutes ago before the show, you and Gardner Malloy, the tennis star who's our guest today, were yarning about some of the strange and wonderful places you've been with the Navy. Why not tell everybody?

Sure, Jack. It's not unusual for any Navy man to have been around the world a couple of times. If you're an American, the chances are you've got some red-blooded love of adventure in you, and the end for the strange exotic cities of the world.

Shanghai, Stockholm, Ceylon, and Rome, and rolling down a rail with a great ship under you and the infinite sky above. Gibraltar, Burma, London, and Paris, full fights in Lisbon, the pyramids in Egypt, the temples of Rangoon.

Those are the things that a Navy man sees free. Believe me, that's the life for a young fellow, and you can make it one of the finest careers in the world, too. But there's more than just fun and travel in the Navy.

There's education, the chance to be a specialist in one of the many Navy skills. There's fast advancement too, and the security that everyone wants. For under the Navy's Liberal Retirement Plan, you're guaranteed a lifetime income.
