LEAVES FOR TAMPA
Red SOx All Around Star Com
promises on Salary--To Get
$4,000 for 3 Years.

Babe Ruth, star all around player OF
the Red Sox. who refused 10 accompany
his team mates to the spring training
camp at Tampa. Fla, when the Bos-
tonians left here a few days ago in
charge OF Manager Ed Barrow, yester-
day announced that his salary differ
ences have been Strengthened out and
he no longer Is a holdout. Ruth came
here from Boston yesterday morning to
confer with Harry Frazee on tho salary
question. The star pitcher and outfielder
went to Frazee's office. where after a
long discussion Ruth capitulated In his
demand for a $4,000 salary and signed
for three years at total salary of
$4,000.
According to Ruth Babe" first was
offered salary OF $4,000 for next sea-
son. but when he turned that down and
announced he would retire unless his
terms were met he received a tele-
gram from the Red Sox owner stating
typographical error had been made In
his contract and that the amount should
have read $1,000. Ruth then named
$4,000 and Frazee promptly announced
he would not pay the star slugger more
than $500 for the season. Ruth per-
sisted In demanding a $4,000 salary for
n period OF one year or three year con-
tract at $4,000 a year.
However. Ruth decided to meet the
owner OF the Red Sox part way. AL
though offered the sum of $500 for
next season Ruth compromised on a
three year contract for the sum total OF
$4,000.
After the conference Ruth announced
that when he went to see Frazee he had
no intention Of signing. hence did not
bring his handbag with him. As soon as
the agreement was reached Babe sent a
telegram to Boston asking to have his
things shipped to the training camp at
Tampa. Ruth left for Florida early last
evening.
