Babe Ruth wants $4,000 Roger

900 year for three years. Aud
Harry Holman Is trying TO take
Frank Navin over Tor $4,000. To
sly nothing Of the $4,000 case OF
Rousch.
Magnaies admit that one.half OF
the regular players in the major
leagues remain unsigned and when
this much is admitted il is safe 70
say that the percentage is much
higher. And this with the training
camps scheduled TO open within the
fortnight,
Is Fair Example.
The condition Of the two New
York clubs probably is a fair ex-
ample OF how the rest OF the clubs
stand. The Giants and the Yankees
are not in the habit OF airing their
disputes with players. but demands
this winter became so exorbitant
that the owners decided to let the
fans know the real conditions.
OF the Yankee pitchers, Jones.
Bush, Mays. Sharkey and O'Doul
have yet to agree TO terms. Harper
has been excused from reporting.
Mays is demanding more money in
spite OF contract that has another
year to run. Barnes and Douglas,
two OF the Gl5nts' most eiiec,ipe
boxmen, have not yet agreed TO
terms.
The Giants catching staff, Smith
and Snyder, remains out OF the fold
and so does Sehabe. the regular
Yankee backsto?. Hoffman and
Devormer, second and third string
Yankee catchers, have signed con-
tracts.
Yank Inheld Corralled.
The Yankee inheld is fairly we'll
corralled. with Scott, Fewster, Baker |
and McNally in line, but Ward and |
Pipp have not signed. Ward de-
n.ands $4,000. Frisch and Groh
have signed Giant contracts. but the
other half of McGraw's 100000 |
quartet is out-Kelley and Bancroft.
Rawlings, who saved the worlds
series for the Giants, but who will
warm the bench this year, has not
signed.
Word comes from California that
Irish Meusel has signed Giant
contract for $4,000. If true. this
will complete McGraw's outheld, but
Miller Higgins has plenty to worry
him in the outer works. Bob Meuse,
an habitual holdout, and Ruth have
not come to terms.
Babe Ruth Important.
OF all the list of unsigned play
crs. the greatest one-Babe Ruth
probably will be the easiest one any
club owner will have to deal with.
Babe has more ground for his S75,-
900 demand than many of the others
have for $4,000 and his club own
crs know it. In addition, Babe has
his full share of intelligence and
knows how to strike a business deal.
His decision to start to camp now
and talk business later is good
example for other players who are
demanding salary increases. If the
rest of the field will initiate Babes
moves, difficult situation will be
sooner overcome.

There Is so little smuggling In Eng

be confined to occasional lookouts over

Unlike the days of the Pirates of PEN

tee points out that nowadays SUNG
Cling in any perceptible quantity is

German prices have increased 800

"Our industry already is reducing its

plants and other leading factories are
crippled because the banks cannot adj

The creation OF a body to promote
Italian trade with Russia is one result
Of the lo-Oriental congress in Trieste
this week. in connection with the fair.
The meeting was attended by political
and Industrial leaders. adopting resolu-
tions calling for the resumption OF
commercial relations with Russia, with
governmental subsidy. and for the
formation of consortia to work with
those already existing.
The Government was requested to
intervene in behalf of the Italian colony
in southern Russia and TO demand in
demnihcation for Italian losses and con-
fisca.ion by the Bolsheviki.
The new trade commission will have
Headquarters in Trieste. The Govern
ment's authorization for the importa-
tion of precious stones. metals, and furs
from Russia already has been obtained
through the Ministry OF Finance, but inn
porters must show that Italian manu-
factured wares are sold to Russia In ex-

The congress called upon the Gov

That Europe will cease to exist Oc-
tober 15 and America. purified, VIII be
the promised land and habitation Of
saints is the extraordinary belief among
the Baptists Of the Baltic States, ac-
cording to the Northern News Syndi-
Gates correspondent at Riga. The re-
ligious fervor has reached such a
pitch that over $50 families have emil
grated mostly to Brazil, which is de-
scribed as the new Palestine.
The cry among the believers is: Let
us all go to America" But the United
States Is given a wide berth because
OF the stringent immigration regula-
tions. Europe has got only couple
OF more weeks. the prophets say, but
no information is obtainable as to the
fate of Asia and Australia.
The Northern News correspondent in
terviewed one of the leaders of the
movement. He expected to find a COM
mon fanatic, but instead he met a
shrewd, well groomed man with the as
pect of a commercial traveller
1T is quite true" this man said. I'VE
are convinced through a revelation that
Europe Is on the verge OF the crack of
doom. No one who has read the Book
of Revelations with an earnest and in
quirinS mind can doubt that the Bea st
OF the book is the Russian Soviet. 1t
has been revealed to few OF us that
America is safe from this Beast and
that Brazil Is the site of the new Pales-
tine, the land of Gods elect
so with tears in our eyes but with
the promise of great happiness in our
hearts we are leaving the native land"
He refused to divulge under what cir
cumstances the revelations were made,
saying that none but the elect were per-
mitted TO know. When asked what form
he expected the ruin OF Europe to take
his answer was vague.
We cannot penetrate the detailed dc.
signs of tho Almighty" he said. "It
may be that fire win devour tho land
IL may be that the Soviet Beast Will
overrun Europe and compel all men tu
bow their knees 10 its abominations."
Ten minutes after the interview Swirl
bul, one Of the leaders. was arrested by
the Latvian police charged with fraud,
was caught. The police declare that
they have been holding socalled religious
meetings and preaching these doctrines
in order to persuade people to sell their
goods and emigrate. An accompiice. Il
is alleged. bought up the goods and
houses at panic prices. while Swirlbul
and Lahz drew n fat commission from
