SALE OF RUTH BY BOSTON
BAD THING FOR BASEBALL

In Boston they will not carry the same
loyal spirit.
SUSPICIOUS DEAL
MADE LAST YEAR.
Last season Pitcher Carl Mays, a Red
Sox mainstay, quit his club and later
was permitted to play with-the New
York Americans, because, he said, 'he
wanted to be with a winner" At that
time the Yankees looked like possible
pennant winners and the Red Sox Seere
out of It President Ban johnson OBJ
! jected to this black move but 1t went
through under protest and the Yankees
got the benefit OF Mays pitching though
they were not successful in winning the
pennant Now comes the Ruth deal, with
the sale OF the home run king to the
same club which grabbed Mays.
On the face of the evidence It Is an
~out-an-out scheme to buy a pennant for
the New York Americans, with the Bos-
ton fans holding the sack. The New
\ oFk Nationals have beenaccused of using
their financial strength in buying pen-
nant winners, but It looks like the Yam
KEGS intend TO outdo even John McGraw
In this respect OF course Owner Frazee
Of the Red Sox has reason. that Of
Ruth's demand for $4,000 a year salary,
but even that is not convincing. The
game buHerS Dy sucn metnOuS, ana II
these moves are not stopped baseball will
lose much prestige
CAUSES DISSENSIONS
AMONG OTHER STARS.
In the cases of M1ys and Ruth If they
were not satisfied in Boston and the
club could not afford TO pay their price
New York Of all cities should not be
given the benefit of their skill. No price
is beyond the reach of Gotham teams,
especially since. Sunday baseball has
been legalized there and the Mays and
Ruth deals are only bound to lead other
stars of the game to plan excuses to get
on Gotham teams.
The anger of baseball fans knew no
bounds today. according to Boston re-
ports. Babe was an idol here--the great
est star ever known to Boston, where
baseball heroes and penuants and things
have become chronic.
Ruth drew capacity crowds. Some went
so far as to predict that the sale OF
Ruth foreshsdowed the sale Of the Red
Sox club itself. Several Of the news
papers came out with editorials con-
demnIng the sale Of Ruth.

Big Babe Proved He Was
Worth Using Regularly
by WaIlop OFF Dauss

Babe Ruth's sale to the New York
Yankees recalls the first game In which
''the larrupipg one" took his place in the
outfeld for the Red Sox and involves
an indianapolis pitcher-George Dauss OF
the Detroit Tigers.
1t was in the autumnal days OF 1915
at Nayin field Dauss was breezing
along on a steady keel against Dutch
Leonard then a member of the Red Sox.
The score was O to in the third when
big Babe STROBE majestically to the plate.
Dauss had allowed his first hit. 1t
looked like a pitchers battle all the
way.
Babe looked over two of 'em and Billy
Evans called EN- strikes. Cunningly
Dsuss pitched two outside With the
count two and two George slipped one
over just a trife higher than the knee,
which the swarthy Mr.. Ruth lambasted
far into the right field b1eachers. Cobb
started to chase 1t with Heilman, who
was then playing right for the Tigers,
but they took only a few steps when
they discovered where the ball was go
ing.
From that day Ruth demanded his
place in center and he had deservingly
won It. Incidentally Dutch Leonard
pitched a no-hit game in that memorable
contest.

CUE GOSSIP
BY EDDIE ASH.


The sale of Babe Ruth. baseball's home
run king, by the Boston Red Sox to the
New York Americans, will not make a
hit with the average fan. 1t smacks Of
too much trafficking for the national
pastime to stand and still hold the place
it has won in the hearts of the
bleacherite. New York, with its mil
lions to draw from, naturally is the best
baseball city from a gate standpoint and
If the magnates continue feeding their
best players to the clubs in that city
the fans In the other big league cities
will form an impression that eventually
might lead to the wrecking of the game
insofar as true craftsmanship prestige is
concerned.
To permit a player of Ruth's magni-
tude to get away by sale from the city
in which he was developed and in which
he established his fame is a terrific blow
to the fans who pay good money at the
gate to support their team. How will the
Red Sox fans feel about it when Ruth
cleans the bases next summer with a
home run drive-for the other team?
They will feel like they have been
double crossed by the owners for fnan-
cisl cleanup and even though the people
probably will continue to attend games
