Even those inn passioned folk, with the queer kinks Rhnside of their heads as we'll as the Ekuri0us inversion of hair arrange Esnent on the outside, have not ven a{ured to deny that the Russian s1hurch has been disestablished and, R many cases, dispossessed and de- Spoiled.

New York Americans paid for George H. (Babe) Ruth, the home run monarch. The nearest ap- proach to anything of an official nature was the smiling admission of Colonel Jacob Ruppert, the Tan. kees' president, that he understood an offer of s100,00O for Ruth was refused last summer by Harry Fra zee, fthe Boston club. Huggins has intimated the price was s125,00O.
 Followers of the national pastime recalled that it was not so many years ago the baseball world was staggered at the news that the New York Giants had purchased Rube Marquard for $11,000. Since then the sale of diamond stars has mount ed even faster than the cost of liv- ing. Until the sale of Ruth yester- day, the record price was $50,0O0 and two players paid by Cleveland for Iris Speaker and s50,000 by the Chicago Americans for Eddie Coll ins.
 In commenting on the purchase of Ruth, Colonel Ruppert said:
 "This is our answer to those who would like to drive us out of base ball. We entered into negotiations for the famous player in pursuance of definite policy to give the clubs loyal following in New York, an az gressive, strong, well balanced team.

Attacks Retailers Who Charge P
 Cents for Sugar

Washington, Jan. 6.-Retail deal CTS charging 22 cents pound for sugar were attacked in the senate today by Senator Shoot, republican of Utah, who declared "they ought to be handled" by the attorney gen eral. "Sixty-five per cent of the beet sugar crop has been delivered, Senator Shoot said, land if there is any hoarding the attorney should find out who is hoarding it, and stop it. Here in Washington deal CTS are charging 22 cents and selling only two pounds at time. There is no excuse for it. There is plen- ty of law to deal in drastic fashion with these profiteers and the people ought not to be forced to pay such prices"
 Purchase of the remainder of the Cuban sugar crop. estimated at r. 250,000 tons, to stabilize and reduce prices to the American consumer, from Rafael Montoro, secretary to t hperesident of Cuba, by Senator McNary, republican, of Oregon. Pres dent Wilson has announced his de- cision not to make the purchase on the recommendation of the sugar
 qualification board.

Ruth Will Sign;
 Ego Sent Him From
 Boston, Says Frazee

Los Angeles, Jan. 6.-"Babe" Ruth who was sold yesterday by the Bos- ton club to the New York Americans, said today he had not yet signed a contract for 1920 with Miller Hug gins, manager of the Tanks, but admitted that he and Huggins had reached an oral agreement.
 Boston, Jan. 6.-The passing of Babe" Ruth, slugger extra ordinary and pitcher of high degree, from the Boston Red Sox to the New York Americans for the largest sum ever paid for any baseball player was due to Ruth's ego, President Harry H. Frazee said today.
 "I sold Ruth for the best interests of the Boston club" he explainew, "The Babe was not an influence for good or for team play. He thought only of himself, whether the ques- tion was one of breaking contracts or of making long hits"
 The Red Sox president said he felt the team as it it stood today with out Ruth and with certain prospec- tive additions would be 25 per cent stronger. Two deals are pending, he said, both having as their object ar outfieldcr to take the place which Ruth filled last year. Frazee said he was prepared to spend large part of the money from the sale of Ruth to obtain the player wanted.
