New York, March 1.-The New York Evening World today prints the following article from It's special correspondent at St. Petersburg, Florida.
 "Babe Ruth has very little to show today for his arduous years of toiling in the big leagues.
 This was learned from a talk with Ruth on the steps Of the Yankees club house at Crescent Lake park.
 "A country home in the shadow of the famous inn at Sudbury, Mass, where he might farm in his later years, is all that Ruth really pos sesses today, with the exception Of his wife's holdings.
 Has Passed His Peak
 Ruth has passed the shadow line of his youth. He is growing fat and old. Youth is collecting it's toll. His best days are behind him.
 During the last three seasons Ruth was known as the highest salaried baseball player in the his- tory of the game. He received s52.- 900 a season. It is said that Ruth has one-third of his salary withheld by the Yankee owners who are in- yesting it for him for 0 rainy day.
 "The revelation of Ruth's finan- scial status came as result of his being sued in New York for a rac- ing debt incurred last summer at the tracks in and around New York. M ''The suit was brought by Harry Jichtenstein, to whom the claim was Assigned by Edward J. Callahan.
 Admits the Debt
 "'Yes. I owe the money Ruth said today. I made the bets last May, I lost s7,700. I went to Qalla- han. who was making a book, and told him I could not meet the ob- ligation just then, but to give me un- til the end of the season, when ] had some more money, and l would pay him.
 He said all right A few months later forgetting or disre7 garding his agreement, he demand ed that I pay him.
 1T said I did not have the money. He told me all right, I'm. going to expose you. I'll have it published in the papers,

MAYOR URGES ACTION
 ON WAITING STATION
Asks Aid. Judd to Consider Common Terminal for
 Carriers

Mayor A. VI. Paonessa has written Alderman William H. Judd. chair man of the common council con- mittee on a waiting station, urging that an effort be made to establish a common stopping place for jitney busses, which is one step in the di- rectlon of providing for a waiting station.
 Alderman Judd's committee has held but one meeting since it's ap- pointment several months ago. and has prepared report to be sub mitted to the next meeting of the common council in which it is sug- gested that, in the absence of a com mon stopping place, no station be erected at this time.
 Mayor Paonessa has offered sug gestion that the stretcp between Church street and the driveway south of the Park hotel be given over to a bus parking station. This strip, the police department has ad- vised. is sufficiently long 10 give space to all busses coming into tho center and will make unnecessary the four stopping places now in use on the several sides of Central Park. The mayor does not ask that this stretch be taken over without con- sideration to ideas that may be ad- vanced by other interested citizens, but in the absence of any better plan, he believes this idea might be adopted, he explained today.
 The mayor is not pleased with the movement to drop the idea of a waiting station without the most thorough study. he has stated.
