New York, Jan. 4-Babe Ruth be- 1fves that h champion should keep an the pest of physical condition, If lhL wants to continue to be a cham >pion.
 As the Babe is the worlds premier home run hitter, he applies this rule 1921 season in the proverbial pink he has today asked Business Manag- ST Ed, Barrow, of the Yankees, to Beind him to Hot Springs, Ark, with the advance guard of pitchers.
 Ruth took on some weight during bis trip to Cuba. He accumulated quite a girth in fact, and he wants to remove 1t though he says he is not worried about the weight he has pick pd up,
 'I don't believe in being at my lowest weight when the season starts D BaL Ruth. "A few extra pounds gives fellow a reserve that guards against staieness later on in the sea- son."

Ruth Asks To Be Sent
 To Hot Springs Early
Doesn't Believe In Being at Lowest Weight When Season Starts-Wants to Get Little Pitching Practice
 In the Southland


 Ruth added that he will do a bit Of pitching at Hot Springs. He does not mean to lose his knack of pitch ing even though he is now 0 regular outf1e1der with home run making as his chief business,
 Incidentally Ruth will have a new pair Of ''gardeners'' in the field with him next season If the present plans of Manager Huggtns do not miscarry Robbie Roth. late of the Senators, will lay on one side of the home run king, and if 6 deal the Yankees have in mind goes through, 1t Is quite possi- ble that Bobby Veach will be the third member of the Tank gardening trio.
 As Roth Is hitter of great ability himself and Veach just as prolific with the biudgeon, the Yankees will have 8 murderous outfie1d, providing they can land Veach. The Tiger out | fielder hit II homer uns and batted | 1907 last season, Roth hit nine homers and built up an average ot l 290

Harfords Defeat of Lowell Last Night Gives Marathon Chance to Gain Points On Massa-
 chusetts Club

if the Quig1ey outfit put over a win on the fast moving league leaders while Lowell is dropping one to Fall River the gap between the two will be widened considerably.
 Hartford beat Lowell last night. s to and although it was expected that Johnny Bond of Milford would be in the Lowell lineup. he did not play. It may be that he will start next week. Bond is to take Newton's s place as cenod rush on the club.
 New Bedford made a strong finish at Worcester last night and beat the home club, 6 to 4. Purseu did re- n,arkable goal tending until he col lapsed toward the end Of the game During the game he made 103 stops. Duggan, the New Bedford flash, scored four of the six goals made the winner.

the minor league committee also feel that the proposed new agreement does not give the minors enough voice in future baseball legislation.
 There is a financial side to the signing of a new agreement also, for if the minors insist on having Judge K. M. Landis, designated to act in their behalf as well as in behalf of the big leagues, they will, no doubt. be given an opportunity to bear a share of the burden of the expense of running his office and paying his salary.
 The draft, however. appears to be the crux of the whole matter. and Ii will be up to the National Associa- ton to thrash it out. The class A leagues, it is said, may ask that they be permitted to step into a class Of their own as a third party to any agreement signed, with recognition as a near major unit'' of organized baseball. Just how this can be &C., complished remains to be seen.
