RUTH TO PLAY At
FIRST ON COAST

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Harry Frazee,
president of the Red Sex, is worrying
about Babe Ruth. It's not on the
salary question, for Harry insists that
Babe viii live up to his contract and
that II there Should be any difficulties
have no trouble reaching an agreement.
What Is worrying Frazee is that In the
games in which the great slugger will
play In the Winter league in Califor-
MIA. Babe viii station himself at first
base,
Ruth viii not be seen in the movies
this winter as has been circulated.
There was a hitch in the proceedings
and on good authority it Is said that
Ii Babe tries to dieker with the movie
people on the coast he will be intro
duced to some court proceedings. But
Babe Is going to spend a profitable win
ter In California, for he has signed q
contract to play. for the Vernon club in
the Southern Midwinter league sched-
ule on terms said to be $500 per game.
II Ruth appears in 20 games he will
come back East SIC, 600 the richer.
The fly in the ointment for the Boston
owners is that Ruth's coast contract
calls Tor him to play the infield. That
is taken to mean first base. Babe is
sack as George sisler, Jake baubert
be. flirting with some injuries. Any ac-
cident 10 Ruth, who Is b~asebalPs big
gest drawing card, certainly would be
a severe blow to the Red Sox.
Ruth in 1919 pulled down SIS, eco from
the Red Sex, not $40, 900, as has been
reported. After Babes wonderful show
ing in the Ruth Day" RAM at Fen
way park, he was presented with a
$4,000 bonus by Frasee. Babes con.
tract, which has two years to run, calls.
fer a salary Of si0,e60. Another such
q showing next year as he made last
season probably will result in another
bonus for the great slugger.
