Babe Says lie VIII Take Training TriI
When Ruth called At the Tankc
offices few weeks ago he said II
would be ready TO report whcncvc
the gong ran for spring training
However, we should not he surprise
to see little hitch over Ruths ncy
contract. II the Babe should insis
that the club make good the none
he lost by reason of his suspension
Mcusel. in all probability. will b
| absent from the New orleans caml
The Yankee member OF the MeuSe
clan is or an obstinate nature, and h
is real bitter over the loss OF hi
worlds series money, money whic
he considers honestly earned. I'm
QUESTIONABLE he will make u deman
on the club To reimburse him for tn
amount of his forfeited worlds scric
check.
AS the Yankee Coioncls considc
that. both Ruth and Meuscl di
enough harm by embark ing on tha
ill-fntcd training jaunt against tn
urgent request OF the club, they ar
not inclined to make good thrs
worlds series shares out OF their owl
pockets.
