PARIS, A3rfl 1.-THE fame of
the great Blbe Ruth has at last
crossed the ocean and French publ
cations have recently been filled
with the narrative of the superslng-
gers exploits.
He of the SO home runs Is not be-
ing exalted in France for the num-
Der OF fences he has driven the ball
over but the dent he has made in the
bankroll Of the club owners.
1.-THE swing of his bat is terrible
but the swish Of his pen is deadlier,"
says the staid Avenir, referring to
the signing of h reported -s5oo.ooo
for Five Years Contract"
"The virtuoso of the homerun is
also an ace in tho business end of
it," the Paris Midi comments.

for hitting n baseball half as far as

Ruth also earns enough on the stage
to keep several families in afflu-
ence." says Comoedia. a theatrical
paper.
Babe Ruth might have gone on
forever knocking the covers off base
balls. doffing his cap in a bored way
each time he reached the home plate
after a circuit trip OF the diamond.
yet he would have been heard
