 Loving Cup for ''Babe."
 Just one other feature among many and it promised to play a big part for Ruth. Admirers in his home city of Baltimore planned to present him with a large loving cup, filled with dirt from around the home plate of the ball grounds at St. Mary's Industrial School where Babe learn ed to play ball. The dirt was gath cred by Brother Matthias, the man who discovered Ruth when, as a youth he displayed the fence busting talent that has carried him to base ball glory.

Ban was born in Norwalk, o.,
in 1S66-which makes him about
fifty-six years of age. He acquired
a grammar high school education
and then studied at Oberlin, and
Marietta colleges. He found time
while doing so to become well
known in those parts as a capable
ball player. Then, while playing
with the Ironton, o., club in a
professional league he injured his
thumb-which halted his playing
and altered his plans.
He went to Cincinnati, studied
law at the law school of Cincinnati
university and then hung out his
single. But the newspaper game
called him and he dropped his law
business to become a reporter on
Cincinnati paper. eventually en-
