The Giants were the last Of the Ma
tional League championship winners
to repeat victory from one season
TO another. They won the pennant
of their organization in 1911. 1919 and
1918.
In 1914 the championship was won
by Boston. in 1915 by Philadelphia. In
1915 by Brooklyn; a. in 1917 !, by Ia,e New sx
Cincinnati, and in 1920 by Brooklyn.
If the Giants can win in 1922 they
will retain the honor which they now
hold of being successive annual win
ners. Twice since 1913 the Brooklyns
have been champions Of the National
pennant was separated from that OF
the second by four years. Since 1909
Chicago, New York and Brooklyn
have been the only National League
teams to win a championship more
than once.

They also won in 1917, but were un>
able to repeat in 1918. although tney
were first much of the latter year. If
they can win in 1922 they will have as
a club a record of three pennants In
succession, two records of two PEN
nants in succession and a record OF
one lone pennant in 1917. It would
not displease the manager Of the team
if he could retire with that record. al
though it is not his intention to retire
until he has acquired all the cham
pionships that he can and retain his
activity. While he is not directing on
the field in uniform as he has been
in the past, he is an alert and active
figure on the bench in civilian garb.
With the strength which he has
established around him and willing to
go as far as any other club or farther
to better his team, the manager of
the Giants now has a chance to make
a championship record in the National
League. not only better than that
which he has-and it is the best-but
SO much better than that of any other
team that for years to come the Giants
will predominate as recordholders
and it may be added that result will
not in the least be distasteful to the
manager.

RUTH SIGNS CONTRACT
At A BANKERS SALARY

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March s.
Babe Ruth, home run king. has sign
ed a contract for five years calling
for "a bank presidents salary, Col.
Huston of the New York Americans
has announced. The flip of coin is
said to have decided the salary dis
pute in Ruth's favor.
The agreement was reached when
Col. Huston received word from his
partner. Col. Jake Rupert, to go
ahead and close the transaction.
During the conversations between
Ruth and Huston there was a wide
difference of opinion. Both made
compromises, but despite repeated
arguments they still were far from a
settlement.
"Then well match a penny to see
whether I get it, or whether 1 don't"
was Ruth's proposal, and they match
ed. Ruth won.
Ruth has requested the Yankees
owners to keep the salary agreed
upon a secret, it was declared today
by Col. huston.
Between $4,000 and $4,000.
NEW YORK, February 6.-The
contract which Babe Ruth signed
with Col. Huston at Hot Springs was
reported here as calling for salary
bonus of $500 for each home run.
1t is understood among base ball
men here that Ruth's salary last year
was s25,OO0, and that he got $4,000
in bonuses.
Fifteen years ago Ruth, who is
now to receive such munificient
stipend, was the despair of his teachers
at school in Baltimore. Babe. they
said, couldn't do any one thing one
half so good as he could play base
ball.
They were trying to teach him
cigar making and every time a les
son in filing and wrapping was to
be given Babe was out somewhere
batting flies to the boys. Now he is,
potentially, the wealtbiest base ball
player of all and admits he doesn't
know the difference between a Ha-
yana and a domestic cigar.

st. Louis has been looking to couple
itself to a-pennant. Fohl cracks up
Davis as a possibility for the next
campaign. Anybody should figure as
a possibility for st. Louis who can
win twenty-five games-in fact, even
a score would go a long way toward
establishing ST. Louis on firm basis.
Hickey is devoting his attention to
a pair of novice pitchers who may
be future greats. All base ball in
st. Louis is futuristic. He has a
catcher named Gooch who is to be

ST. Louis manager, with an unusual
