GUESSING PRICE
PAID FOR RUTH
IS INDOOR SPORT
No Official Notice Is Given
Out, But Writers Esti-
mate From $125,000
To $4,000.

New York, Jan. 6.-The most
popular indoor sport in New York
today was guessing how much the
New York Americans paid for
George H. (Babe) Ruff, the home
run monarch. The nearest approach
to anything of an official nature was
the smiling admission of Colonel
Jacob Rupert, the Yankees presi
dent, that he understood an offer OF
100000 for Ruth was refused last
summer by Harry Frazee of the
Boston club. Sporting writers esti-
mate the price paid from $l25,0o0 to
$15O000.
Followers Of the national pastinle
recalled that it was not so many
years ago the base ball world was
staggered at the news that the New
York Giants had purchased RUDE
Marquard for $1,000. Since then
the sale of diamond stars has mount
ed even faster than the high cost 81
living, Until the sale of Ruth yes
terday, the record price was $4,000
and two players paid by Cleveland
for iris Speaker and $4,000 by the
Chicago Americans for Eddie Col
Ems. s
In commenting on the purchase Of
Ruth, Colonel Rupert 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 a definite policy to give the clubs
loyal following in New York an ag-
gressivc, strong, well-balanced
team"

cepted and under the regulations the
successful bidder had ten days in
which to execute the bond required
by law and sign the contract.
The bonding companies who make
bonds of this character haze experts
who Investigate every detail of a
proposed contract. They did that
in this case and advised Murphy &
Phillips that they had discovered an
error in their bid or miscalculation
which convinced the bonding COM
pany that they could not possibly
do the work at the price bid and
refused to make the bond for Muir
ply & Phillips,
Being unable to make the bond for
this reason, Murphy & Phillips could
do nothing except forfeit their de-
post, 1t must be borne in mind
that the purpose of the deposit was
to insure bond and the execution of
the contract. The bid was only bid.
The contract itself, as in all cases,
was to be signed upon execution Of
the bond.
Even if the commission had had
legal authority to force them to
comply with their bid, they had no
way of forcing them to make bond
and to have brought suit against
them would have meant interminia-
BILE delay and an expense which no
man can estimate, and all the time
we would have been suing a firm
who had no bond and who could not
make bond, because of the error in
their calculations.
Manifestly such course on our
part would have been preposterous.
We did what the law and the regu-
lations required. We took the five
hundred dollars Of Murphy & Phil
lips, put it into the state highway
fund and re-advertised for bids.
