BABE IN CONDITION

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. Feb. 2s.- "Babe" Ruth is shrinking. At his last accounting with the scales Ruth, plus 8 turkish hath towel, tipped the beam at 208 pounds, the lowest he has weighed since his pitching days with the Boston Red Sox. Hard work on the golf links and steaming baths are the elements playing havoc with the Ruthian girth. And it still is grad ually undergoing reduction. The slender lines Ruth is acquiring have been the cause of joy among the other Yankee, players, and Col. T. l.. Huston, part owner of the club, who are with Ruth in Hot Springs. Ruth Is in splendid condition and Is confi- dent of ketting an early start in the harvesting of homo runs.

 In Donza, Proto will meet ono of the wiliest and speediest little box CTS in tho south. Donna has been fighting ever since his earliest kid days, and now. though young in years, is veteran in point Of ring service.
 If Proto can defeat Donza, it should prove the stepping stone to greater things in pugilism.

 Monday morning, March $, Joe
 Dunn, jovial pilot of the Barons,
 will take his flock to RickwOod
 for tho first work-out of 1923.
 "Quack" Smith, president of the
 club. stated that practically all
 the contracts are in now, and
 every player knows when to re-
 port to Manager Dunn.
 Stump Clarke is on the scene as usual, rearing to get at 'em. as he put it day or 50 ago. Stump has wintered in Birmingham. and Is all ready for spring training to begin.
 Of the trio of hard-hitting out fielders of the Barons last year namely, Doc Silva. Harry Harper and Stump Clarke-only Clarke remains which would seem to say quite bit for Sumpter.
 Clarke always has been a favorite with the fans, who rarely fail to appreciate honest efforts of players and the type of fighting spirit Clarke displays.
 With Clarke. Jake Miller, who was secured from Fort Worth in a trade for Silva, and a number of promising E young ball players, the outfield sit uation does not look so bad to start off with. but Joe Dunn has yet to announce that experienced outfielder he has been promising all along.
 Another good man will probably be needed, too, if the Barons are to make the showing they expect dur ing tke coming season.

of Mines in 35 States and Alaska.
Director II. Foster Balm said today
in his annual report. More than
100000 miners have completed the

Although the Bureau can say
positively that widespread explosions
of coal dust no longer should occur
Director Balm declared, ''the fact
remains they do continue. account
ing for 311. or nearly 16 per cent
of the total deaths in the mining
industry In 1922.
Two effective methods for pre-
venting the spreading through a coal
mine OF a minor initial explosion
have been demonstrated by the Bu-
reau. The first is to wet the dust
so thoroughly that no dry dust re-
mains in the mine. The second is
