l RUTlI’S-BIGGEST
NOT
By NORMAN E. BRO‘VN.
Now that the New York Yankees
have exercised tho’option in their
contract with Babe Ruth and ex-
tended it up to and including the
season or 1926. the well known King
of Swat can new center his atten-
tion on the task of slamming out
enough home runs the ext three
years to recompense for 3 monthly
pay check.
This task isn‘t worrying him
greatly—not half as much as it did
a. couple of years ago. when it was
hard to keep his mind on the game,
let alone his eye on the ball.
Ruth's main problem. as the train-
ing season nears. is that of control——
not. of his circuit smashes. but of
his stomach. Ills waistline weighs
heavily on his mind as well as his
torso.
Ruth. with the
waist—line problem always before
him. has been active this winter
around his farm at Sudbury. Mass.
The emperor of swat has been
wielding the ax with the fervor of a
former kaiser the past wintry days.

that subscriptions were pouring in
to syndicate members from all
classes of investors. The range
covered the large industrial corpora-
tions as well as the average small
investor, the total reported for the
former being put at $50,000,000.
The United States Steel Corpora-
tion was reported to have sent in
its subscription for $15,000,000 of
the bonds. The Gillette Safety Razor
Company was credited with 81.000.-
000. In addition to reported pur-
chases by banks of large blocks of
the bonds for their own account. it
was understood that such corpora.-
tions as ‘Westingho’use Electric and
Manufacturing. General Electric
and Western Electric had joined the
list of subscribers for substantial
amounts.

Aside from the excessive avoirdu-

this reason he expects little difficulty

Not a New Contract.
“'hen it was announced recently
at Yankee headquarters that. Ruth’s
contract had three more years to
run the impression bobbed up that
he had received and signed a new
contract. Such was not the case.
To clear up the tangle of rumors the
Yankee bosses explained the whole
matter of Babc‘s contract.
Tow years ago Babe signed a doc-
ument calling {or an annual salary
of 852.000 for a period of three
years. The club reserved the right
to renew that contrac: for two years

There is an interesting story link-
ed. with the "extra." 82.000 in the
contract sum. it seems that the
smaller amount is a bonus of $l0.~
000 extended over a five-year period.
When Babe was originally offered
the contract it called for a yearly
check of 850.000. Babe asked $10,~
000 for signing. Col. Til Huston
objected to the bonus idea. He
finally ottered to shake the dice with
Babe to see whether the bonus
should be paid. Babe won the shake
and Huston lived up to his word.

TAKE REST
Miller Huggins Will
Bring Long Record
to a Close This Sea-
son
NEW YORK. Feb. 18.—-0ne or the
tirst thingslmner Huggins, boss of
the world's champion Yankees, in-
tends to do after the coming base-
ball season opens-is to give his vet-
eran star shortstop. Everett Scott. s
good night's sleep. At least that was
the news conveyed yesterday by wire
from the midget manager. who is
hibernsting st. St. Petersburg. Fla.
.. Possibly you may suppose that
Scottie'hss some extrems'worries or
a bad tooth or something that keeps
him awake nights. In the minds of
some experts, he is suffering from
something worse. He has been go-
ing for more than five years estab-
lishing an apparently endless record
for consecutive ball games. Nq
doubt it has been a nervous strain;
Undoubtedly it has caused much loss
or sleep. »
To cure that ill. Mr. Huggins, ac-
cording to his message. intends to
bench Scottie tor a whole game
right at. the start of the season. thus
putting an end to his record mak-
ing and sleepless nights by the most
simple method. Once the record is
stopped,. Scottie will have nothing
to think about but playing short-
stop for the Tanks and should sleep
st night like a child.
During the season or 1923 there
were times when the veteran short-
stop appeare‘d dreadfully slow. His
legs seemed to be all lagged out.
He has been telling on them for
more than a thousand consecutive
games and no doubt they needed s
rest. But with the record always
growing. he was permitted to stay
in there day after day. when he
should have had a. couple or days
rest occasionally. His place could
be well taken care of for a few days
by capable substitutes such as Ernie
Johnson or Mike Mcxally.
This year Huggins intends to give
Scottie a. day or! occasionally to rest
his legs so that when he is in the
battle he will be in shape. The first
day 0!! he gets will give his mind the
long needed rest and end forever
the sleepleu nights.
