Mass. The gold was placed in mail bags, which were placed in a postal car. The railroad company contended that, although the Government had paid it's postage on the shipment, it was not mail under the laws, and that the Government had no right to trans port gold in the United States mail contract. The railroad insisted also that the armed guards who accom- panied the shipment were not entitled to free transportation.

At the lowest estimate Ruth has
been responsible for at least 100000
persons attending games of profess
sional base ball This is a very con-
servative calculation. Probably 5.000,-
O00 would not be far out of the way.
If the average of admission is figured
at rs cents, it would be fair price.
Ruth's drawing power began when
the price of admission was not so
high as it is now.
If 5000. 900 persons have paid in the
past IS cents each to see Ruth play
base ball, their attendance represents
S2.250.0OO in cash. If 100000 have
attended the amount would be $3.f50.-
600. At the smaller figure Ruth's
drawing power is thousands of dol
sional ball player.
Hns Been Powerful Magnet.
The attendance at games in New
York after Ruth began to play with
the New York American League club
increased five-fold on ordinary days.
and practically doubled on holidays
and Saturdays. The clubs drawing
power on the road went up to such
degree that it exceeded all other
teams in it's ability to bring the fans
out to see the Yankees play in rival
cities.
There has been no such thing as
losing trip when the Yankees were
away from home since Ruth Joined
the team. Even in inclement weather
the stands have been well filled.
The second most attractive ball
player, SO far as attendance IL con-
cerned. is Ty Cobb Of Detroit. 1t is
figured that his presence in games for
the Detroit club. until Ruth came into
the stage center. gave Detroit sue
cessful seasons financially when the
Detroits were not so successful as
players. Cobb in his best days never
brought forth the crowds that Ruth
did.
The National League has been less
fortunate in individual stars than the
American League. The best drawing
card of the National League was
Wagner of Pittsburgh. He did not
have the drawing power of Ruth and
possibly not that of Cobb. The latter
drew more spectators at exhibition
games than Wagner.
Generous With His Funds.
Ruth is generosity itself with his
funds. 1t was no uncommon thing for
him to invite fifty persons to see q
Saturday or a Sunday ball game In
New York. and he paid for their ad-
mission. He gave half a score of box
parties every day during the world
series.
Contras asted with Ruth there probably
Is no individual character in sport

ornate mantel. A stone shelf on
stone brackets was laid at the top

mantel left exposed. These bricks
were treated just enough TO remove
the toughest parts and were careful
ly pointed. Instead of an oval, the
space for the fireplace was made
square and instead of the hanging
plain barred CRATE, a fire basket of
wrought iron, with rough spearheads
set in the base, was placed in the

not changed, and draft properties

effect was surprisingly good.
