“Babe Ruth is a Yankee!”

With that simple statement Colonel
Jacob Ruppert startled a score of base-
ball writers at the .Yankee club attics;
yesterday just as much as fans Will be
startled on turning to the sporting
pagelthla mormng. .Sounds too good
to be true, so to remove all possible
doubt let it be said again in more con-
unczng language that 7' George H.

he knewfrazec. had turned down an
utter or $100,000 for the player recent-

concmded that the New York club did
not pay much léss than that amount,
it‘ not more. It need scarcely be men;
tioned that the news will create a fu-
ror in major league baseball circles,
that it will p.case Gotham tans might-
lyM'dnd at the same time raise a storm
of protest in 'the Hub, where fans nov—
er dreamed that Frazce would dare
dispose of the star. Boston baseball
followers will probably not permit the
Red Sox owner to forget about it [on

some. time, but in local circles if was".

thing that may be said with certainty: a

ager, is out on the coast now’ trying to
sign Dufl’y Lewis for next season, and
will? probably see the club's new but
tlnjg,r ace before returning East, if he
has not seen him ' already. Colonel
Rapport thought yesterday that Ruth
,would be played in right field, which

that question will be left for Huggins
