Ruth has requested a salary "close

that the home-run star was coming
east next week to talk things over.
Ruth, who now is on a vaudeville
tour in the middle west, is reported
to have received $4,000 last year.
Col. Rupert indicated that there
was a chance" Of Ruth getting more
money, as he considered him "a rea-
sonable man." There is no chance,
however, he added, of Carl Mays,
stellar pitcher. receiving more money
this year. Mays signed a three-year
contract at $4,000 a season last year.
Col. Rupert also indicated that the
demands of Aaron Ward, second
