THE RUTHLESS REQUEST.

Babe Ruth's request for additional
kale from the Red Sox occasioned no
great surprise. Mainly because of his
ability to step Up and peel the ever
lasting hide off the ball at a moments
notice Ruth ranked as the 1919 lure of
the field.
As a magnet he even surpassed Ty
Cobb. the greatest of players, and for
years the strongest attraction OF the
game,
Il is reported that Ruth drew $4,000
for the year, which Is quite a tidy sum-,
For 1920 he has demanded something
like $40, 600 or more than double the
price. Otherwise he will request a trans
fer to different fields.
The Babes ultimatum Is merely in
line with the spirit Of unrest that has
raced across the continent drawing In
It's net the steel striker and the player
alike. 1t will be interesting to note the
developments in The case as well as to
discover the price which the slugger

Boston Is certain to refuse so top
heavy a figure but it is also positive
that Ruth will receive a substantial
boost over the 1919 pay.
The situation at Detroit is still in a
fog. Ty Cobb Is being mentioned with
great fervor ms the next pilot of the
Tigers with an increase In salary. Just
what will become OF Jennings Is not

Death OF a Dear Child.

Matthew D. Smith, the handsome
and beloved little son of our friends,
Mr.. and Mrs. Donald Smith of Anti
och, died on Sunday afternoon, suf-
fering for the most part from the re-
suit of influenza. He was the eldest
child of the family and just few
weeks ago, he and his little brother
came into town with their mother
wearing little sailor suits and looking
so handsome and so happy, and so ad-
mired by all their friends. This dear
little boy in whom the fond parents
felt such a pride and hope, is now
among the ten thousand children who
surround the throne and with their
sweet voices praise Him day and
night. The remains were laid to rest
in Edgefeld at Willowbrook Gene
terry, Monday afternoon.
The sympathies of all our County
go out to these friends in their sor-
row.
