MIAMI. Fla, May 8 --(AP)-_ Jimmy Fbxx. who hit 52'! home runs in 24 years of organized base- ball, gave up active playing today with the thought that "I was born 10 years too soon, but baseball was mighty good to me."

Genial Jimmy. now 39, whose 5B round-trip blows i.n 1932 came with- in two of equalling the (SO-mark set by Babe Ruth, recalled that for tihe seasons of 1931. 1032 and 1933. he was paid a total of $50,000 by Philadelphia Athletics.

Foxx was vacationing in Florida "because it was tthe only place I could find a home" when he was asked to take over the reins of the new St, Pcterstburg club vim the Class C Florida International League, Foxx did and he has been playing "now and then" as Well as directing tltc club. But today, tihe roster had to be cut to 15 players and Foxx included himself.

Jim-my, as popular with the

Florida fa. s he was in his clays in the itta; t.‘ - _..;. . . to the big time perhaps as a man-

Bgef‘.

He doesn't believe Babe Ruth's hccne run record will be equalled for some time to come. lle doesn't see Boston's Ted “tllliams doing it

"Williams is a. better hitter for base h-ils than Ruth." he said, “but Rut-h could hit to any direction wihile Williams is strictly a right field hitter. Anyone who comes near the Babes mat-k now has got to have power 1n all directions."

Foxx wiho started with the Alli- letics in 1924 and was with the club until 1935 when he went to Boston Red Sox. ltlt his 58th homer in I932 with only one day remaining in that season "I never thought of equalling RlFtlfs mark." he said.

Foxx functioned in every capacity in tltamajors except playing sccnnd base "and peculiarly. t-hitt was the first position I ever Played l" “ml- pro ball."

Foxx lcft Boston in June. 19411 and went to Chicago Cubs. lIc dfidn’: play 111-1943 and returned to the Cubs in 1044, and the laticr part of that season managed Portsmouth Cubs of the Piedmont League. 11c was wit-h the Philtics i,“ 1045 and last. season as a base- ball commentator.
