BABE RUTH FULL
OF RESOLUTIONS
FOR new SEASON
e. BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, Jan. lS.-Trained
down to the best condition he has
attained in years, Babe Ruth, who
used to hit homers for the New York
Yankees, is getting ready to go
south full of health and new reso-
lutions.
The Babe is turning into the last
wear of contract that calls for
$1,000 each and every Saturday of
tnc year, and be naturally would
Ike to have it renewed next winter
al The same price.
Last summer, when he was not
playing ball as good as he should
have, he was told by Colonel Jake
Rapport, owner of the team, that
he would be just an outfielder when
II came time for a new contract and
that fat outfieldcrs were not worth
any too much on the foot.
Since the close of the season the
Babe has been working harder 10
get himself in shape than he ever
worked before. He went up into the
Canadian woods with number of
other ball players and he is not
ashamed to admit that he had to
ride on truck horse while the
other athletes walked. He came out,
however, under his own steam.

Jack Tackctt showed his versati-
lity as bah player yesterday at
Brawlcy by going into the pitcher S
box in the second inning, when
Cheverlier was hurt, and pitching
the remainder of the game. Steve s

fast Brawley Mexican team II to Z,
despite the good pitching of Leon,
star twirler for Brawlcy.
Chevcrlier was hit on the arm in
the second inning and was unable
to continue play. TacHctt, who was
doing the catching, went to the
mound, and pitched mighty good
ball. Jack started the season at
= third base and has been shifted
around to almost every position on
the team, filling them all equally
well.
Nash was to have pitched for FL
