SOUTH WANTS A
PEEP AT BABE"

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-So many
southern metropoli are urgently de-
manding view of Babe Ruth in the
performance of his we'll known spe-
cialty that the Yankees may be COM
PEELED to extend their impending
training trip beyond all contemplated
limits this spring and in every in
most has begged the Yankees to play
an exhibition within. its corporate
limits this springan in every in
stance a craving to see the Colossus
of Swat is clearly the motive behind
the request.
Manager Miller Higgins does not
believe in long and arduous exhibi-
ton tours, and his original training
program called for only five or six en-
gagements with the Robins. These,
he believed, with the ten or eleven
games to be contested with the
Brooklyn and Cincinnati clubs in
Florida and the three with the Robins
at Ebbets Field, would meet every
training requirement and send his
team into the American league pen
nant race in well nigh perfect trim.
But taht was before his owners
paid something like S125,00 for Ruth
and the solid south had discovered
that the Yankees were its favorite
major league club. Now he feels that
the south should be permitted to in
dulge its yearning to help the Yam
KEGS pay for Ruth, and it not at all
unlikely that he will suggest the adj
dition OF three or four games to the
itinerary tentatively arranged by Bust
ness Manager Harry Sparrow.
IL the Yankees ever doubted that
Ruth is now the greatest drawing
card in basepa1l-Ty Cobb and wal
ter Johnson not excepted-their mis-
givings in this respect would have
been dissipated by the unanimity with
which the cities, towns and hamlets
OF the south are ciamoring Tor
chances to see him in action. Com
munities which never beore have
given the Yankees tumble are now
offering fabulous guarantees for ex-
hibition games, conditioned only on
Ruth participating in the contest. II
they cared to endure the rigors of a
Hopgood---a technical term which
means transforming tour, embrac-
ing anywhere from twenty to thirty
games-the Yankees could doubtless
carry more money out of the south
this year than any other club has
corraIled In the history of the game.
The south has seen Ruth before, of
course, but never as the recognized
king Of all the sluggers. When Ruth
toured Dixie as a member OF the Red
So1 he was Just a numbering big fell
low who had a penchant for hitting
home runs now and then; he hadn't
become addicted TO the home run
habit, and to most OF the spectators
he was merely among those present.
