to do so until their cause is re-

But if you will take a treat

track, and can expect results.

BY n. e. BROWN.

An interesting little item dtifted out
of Boston the other day to the effect
that Babe Ruth, coming young hitter,
had announced that he will refuse to
play ball with the Red Sox next season
unless given 100000 for his seasons
efforts. He is now under a three year
contract calling for $780, 900 for the three
seasons.
The news is interesting because 1t
raises the question:
How much is Babe Ruth worth right
now?
And the answer to my mind, is:
AS much as he asks
Babes position in baseball is unique.
He is the biggest dra wing card right
now that baseball ever has known, bar
ring no one. Every baseball season
produces a group of men who stand out
as stars in one of the departments of
the game, and who, by their seasons
work, have earned the right to talk
about pay increases with their bosses.
Other men, like 1'y Cobb, set pace
for season after season that stamps
them as great players. And this abil
ity to lead year after year, gives them
the privilege of talking new terms.
But Babe Ruth isn't one of these.
He is simply the bright light of the
Red Sox team, the American league or
the majors for the season of 1919, OF
the past several seasons.
He passed up the chance Of his team
mates being able to score him after he
obtained an ordinary base hit.
He simply stepped up to the plate a
lone man against the game-and
slammed the ball out of the lot, into
the upstairs windows and back yards
OF the neighboring homes.
The place mattered not to him. HI.

improper Treatment Leads to

Because you have doubtless

through the mild summer
months, and free from the
soreness and irritation of the
membranes, do not make the
mistake of thinking that you
are rid of you Catarrh. For If
you suffered with this disease
last winter it will again be with
you in all it's severity unless
you have eliminated entirely
form the blood the germs
which cause the disease.
This Of course you have not
done if you have relied upon
the usual local methods Of
treatments, jellies, atomizers,
lotions, ETC., the only possible
effect of which treatment is to
afford but temporary relief.
For nothing but temporary re-
lief can be expected from
treatment which reaches only
the symptoms Of the disease.
Are you going to further
temporize with a disease that
leads to such a serious condi-
ton? Don't you know that you
can use gallons upon gallons OF
local treatment without the
slightest permanent benefit?
Just give the matter a little
careful thought, and you will
realize that it is but a waste oil
time and money, besides seri-
ously ieopardizing your health
to continue a method of treat
ment that has proven of so lit
tie value in making any rea
progress toward genuine bene-
| fit?

the average fan likes his base hits
above anything else. And Babe Ruth
has fed him the heaviest hitting the
game has known. AS a result Ruth
stands out as the greatest sensation in
the business. He drew thousands of
persons to every game last year-tust
to see him hit. The final result of the
game had little interest for the fans.
Ruth has made himself the biggest
drawing card the magnates ever have
had There is every reason to believe
that he Will be a bigger card than ever
next year-for the simple reason that
he is young in years young in the
game and young as a wonder slugger,
There isn't the least idea in the minds
of most fans that he has reached his
limit. The baseball moeuls are awake
to these facts. Harry F'razee is, or
should be- as alive to them as the
others. Consequently they all will have
the dope in mind when Babe Ruth
starts talking business next spring'-if
/ he does hit for u raise.
/ Owner FraZee will realize that allow :
! ing Babe Ruth to remain out of the
Sox lineup win not only mean the loss
of patronage Babe would draw but will
! sour the fans on what is left of the
team. They will quit Frrazee cold. The
! Red Sox owner will realize, too, that
! If he turns down Ruth's offer, seven
other clubs in the American league
and eight in the National will be will
4 ing to bid in everything but the turn
stiles for the mauler.
! Frazee can not expect the other mo.
! guls to help him boycott Ruth if Ruth
becomes obdurate. The fans wouldn't
stand for the departure of Ruth be-
cause of financial differences alone.
And on the other fist:
The movies await Ruth. Two OF
three hundred thousand dollars avail
Babe for his first venture in thai
game.
There are half dozen other bust
ness ventures which would bring II
gold for Ruth because of his fame ant
popularity.
To sum it all up. baseball needs thu
man more than the man needs base
ball. And because the thing is this
way, Babe can ask anything short o
the combined profits of the two league
and get away with his request
