New Ruth Contract
Keeps Legal Bevy
Busy Most of Day
By W. ]. Macbeth

Colonel Jacob Rupert, the big noise
of the American League champion
Yankees, is resigned to the income tax
He got so many tricks from his staff
of legal counsel yesterday afternoon
that the annual sad news of March Is
is only an incidental
BE it said in passing that the con
tract Of Babe Ruth is ready for The
rowing, free hand Of one Bambino the
Great. Huston's letter, which ran d
volume or more had in it some fifty
odd clauses for Incorporation into the
dcmurc form which Ban Johnson prints
as a means of getting American League
players omeshed in legal "tangle foot y
Clauses, phrases, codicils. bonus terms
and all the like wcrc first approved
then incorporated by a beyv of lawyers
that cost as much annually as the
Great Babe himself. There is nothing
like prccaution when you are toying
with a bird that nobody could keep
off q ball field with a howitzcr.
Colonel Jake was in favor OF an
nouncing the contract terms. Indeed
the day before he intimated that he
would do so IS matter of sef-protec-
ton. The policy Of the Yankees is to
sign athletes for ono year only now.
The Yankee president thought the
Glow down might knock the props
from under some of his obstrcpcrou
youngsters
For two good reasons he cschewcd
his dire plot of REVIEW Huston
wrote as part of the terms that at the
suggestion of Ruth. it was mutually
agreed the terms of the Ruth contract
should not be divulged A few minutes
later a wire from the South advised
him that Aaron Ward, the last Yankee
holdout, had signed a contract with
Manager Miller Huggins.
SO nobody knows whether the batter
ing ram OF the rambunctious Yankees
IS sheep Cor a goa) for one year or
five. Whether he gets the salary of q
President Of tho United States or the
stipend Of cigar clerk. But one can
guess; and a safe guess is that Ruth
is drawing down more money than any
other man in baseball. For which we
propose three hearty cheers. He de-
serves it.
Some day the truth, like murder, may
out. There is no way 80 verify it un-
less the curious write Commissioner

which Ruth cannot officially sign before
Saturday, has reached his Office for pro-
mitigation. The Judge keeps close coun-
sci and many secrets. When he finds
what Babe is actually worth in tho
estimation OF our battling Colonies and
the American League he may indeed
take the poke off him before May 20.

German Cue Expert
Modified bv Court

Justice Newburgor of the sunrcme
court heard argument and reserved
decision yesterday on the application
OF Josef knoepfer for permanent in
junction TO restrain Enrich Hagen
lachcr. German billiard champion. from
playing under the management Of any
person other than Knocphcr. The lat
ter already has temporary Injunction
which prevented Hagcnacher from fin

last week. Pending his decision on the
notion for permanent injunction Jus
ticc Ncwburger modified the restrain
ing order to permit tho German bill
hardist to play his scheduled match
with Walker Cochran on Thursday. Fri
Gay and Saturday.
Knocphcr said that hc and Hapcn-
lachcr entered into contract in Ger
many under which the cucist was to
play under his management for five
years and that they were to share the
matches and exhibitions equally.
knocpflcr complained through Louis
Rlchman, his attorney, that Hagen
lachcr placed himself under tho man

Answering through l.. B. Pollak
Hagenlacher said that Knocpflcr was
not the great manager Of billiard stars
that he claimed to be, that he did not
have the influence with sporting cdi-
tors or with managers of billiard play
ers that he represented he had. that
knoepfer had been a head waiter and
as matter of fact spoke the language

planned that the contract was not an

TECHNICAL
TREATY DETAILS
ARE Unfinished
LRepublIcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, Jan. g. Only
details of technical phraseology re-
main to be workel out before the
treaty for limitation of armament is
ready for signal ture by the plenipoten-
tiaries OF the five great powers.
Passing today on its last question
of policy, the armament committee
of the Washington conference decided
against any present attempt to limit
or regulate aerial warfare and voted
to refer the problem to a continuing
commission for future study.
Each of the five delegations, meet
ing separately, began an examination
of the tentative treaty draft prepared
by the sub committee of experts.
The delegation heads are to come to-
gether late tomorrow to compare
opinions and it is expected that the
complete text will be ready for pub
licatior to the world at a plenary
session of the conference Thursday or
Friday.
Questions OF definition, particularly
with reference to the status of mer-
chant vessels in wartime are under
stood to be the chief concern Of the
delegates in their efforts to agree on
a wording acceptable to everyone.
With the armament end of the
conference approaching final disposi-
tion, the delegates are preparing to
press the Far Eastern discussions to
an early conclusion. The Shantung
question still is in deadlock, but fresh
hope OF a settlement was aroused to-
night when it became apparent that
the negotiations of that subject were
turning into new channels.
BaIfour Leaves Tuesday
Some delegates took so optimistic
view of the outlook that they were
predicting a plenary session for Sat
urday or Monday to announce COM
pletion of the Far Eastern treaty.
Arthur J. Balfour, head of the British,
made definite plans to sail for home
on Tuesday of next week, and his
colleagues declared it was entirely
likely that he would sign the Far
Eastern agreement before his de.
parture.
On the other hand, it became APP
parent tonight that the study OF the
naval treaty text by individual dele
SdllOuS was pTOLlISlIS u COHSuiuS
more time than originally had been
allotted for it. Late today 1t was
decided to suspend plans for to-
morrows committee meeting and to
hold the meeting of heads of delega-
tIons late tomorrow.
The merchant ship question, as
treated in the sub committee Graft of
tho treaty, would be settled by limit
inS the armament of merchant men
to six inch guns ard by prohibiting
the conversion Of any commercial
vessel of more than 10000 tons into a
naval auxiliary. There was a general
expectation that these provisions
would be finally accepted.
In American circles the relation of
merchant shipping to the general
naval question was discussed from
a new angle as result of a sugges-
ton by Homer L. Ferguson, head of
the Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock company, that the arms
conference agree on an ALLEGATION of
| shipping facilities and opportunities.
| The proposal was laid before Presi-
