Babe, in New York, Asks
Highest Salary in Major
Leagues. !.
COMPROMISE PREDICTED
Homer King Puts Demand at
100000 Yearly.
By Henry L. Farrell

United Press staff C0rreSDondent
NEW YORK, March 2. - Babe
Ruth came back home today to de-
mand that the New York Yankees
make him baseball's first $100,000-a-
year man.
AS the Twentieth Century Linn
tied bore the home run hitter down
the Hudson to New York, the sport
world awaited with friendly interest
the struggle between two of base
balls most colorful figures. On the
one hand was Ruth, who came from
boys industrial school in Baltimore
to be the greatest slugger the game
ever has known, the greatest single
boxoffice attraction, and, in the opin-
ion Of many of his devoted admirers,
the most valuable all-around player
in either major league.
Jake No Spendthrift
On the other hand was Col. Jake
Rupert, former brewer and baseball
magnate, a genius for spending
money in the right direction to turn
out world champion baseball teams
also a. genius for keeping his team
on the right side of the ledger and
not throwing money away.
The betting of the fans was on
the Babe to win.
Rupert has offered. Ruth re-
newal of his last years contract at
$50 900 year. Ruth has demanded
two-year contract at 100000 a
year and refund of $1,000 or more
that he has paid in fines.
One popular guess was that COM
promise would be reached at $4,000
year-but no less.
Cold, snappy weather greeted Ruth
on his arrival from California,
where he has been dabbling in the
movies and playing golf. 1t was
from there he sent his salary de-
mands to the Yankees by letter,
bringing him to the front of the
news once again.
Always in Spotlight
The Babe always has been in the
news. He came back to New York
once with a stomach ache that
rocked the baseball world. He came
back another time bearing a fine of
$1,000 imposed upon him by Man.
ager Higgins. He came back at va-
rious other times after breaking
home-run records and doing things
that only the ball player that the
Babe is could get away with.
But today Ruth came back in
state looking for big money-more
money than is paid to the President
of the United States-more than is
paid to any ball player in the pro-
fessional game or to any manager of
any club in professional baseball.

by Pittsburgh for a trial, the agree
ment calling for the Pirates to make
their decision in the matter by
April Is.
Cash or Players
If the big league team keeps
Specie after that date, Indianapolis
is to be reimbursed with a sum Of
cash or players suitable to Manager
Bethel.
And Bethel said today he would
prefer players in the Specie deal If
Ownie Bush has some surplus talent
to offer that looks good enough 10
help out the local roster.
Vice President Smith expressed the
opinion that the Specie transaction
had the earmarks of being a life
saver for the Tribe.
TIE Local "Need"
The Indians need another capable
righthanded hitting outfielder and a
shortstop, and the Pirates probably
will be in a position to deliver one
or the other.
Pittsburgh needs pitching strength
and it is said Specie is rated an al
most sure shot" to be retained on
the Pirate staff.
Manager Bethel Nice.presiGent
Smith and Secretary Clauer were at
Washington Park today lining up
the names of players who will leave
here Saturday on the spring train
ing jaunt to Sanford. Fla. 1t Is be-
lieved the party out of Indianapolis
will consist of about twenty-five.
Other FASTENERS will go from their
homes direct TO Sanford.
Bethel said he expected to take
Eddie Sticking south and retain him
until a deal is proposed that will fill
the hole at shortstop. The new Tribe
boss rejected the Milwaukee propo-
sition for Sticking. Owner Borchert
offered shortstop Flippin and catcher
McMenemy, or Flippin and catcher
Thompson. Bethel objected because
he figures Flippia false alarm in
the field and at bat.
If Sicking's throwing arm meas.
ures up this year to what It was
season before last, the Cincy veteran
may start the season in the short
field for the Tribe if he is not beaten
out by other candidates.

Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-07-03

Camp Harry j. Jones, named after
a soldier who died on the field OF
honor, is one of the greatest assets
that Douglas can boast. At the pres
ent time this army camp, which is
permanent camp despite the fact that
it is rated as a camp and cannot Sc
cure regular garrison quarters, is held
by battalion of the TWenty-fifth in
fantry.
This regiment is one of the Old col
ored infantry outfits of the army and
has for many years been filled with
professional soldiers who have enlisted
when they we're barely eligible in years
and who stay in the army and the reg
iment until the, government retlreS
them after 80 years faithful service.
The regiment holds some of the
highest honors on the target range
and the athletic field. The headquar-
ters at Camp Stephen d. Little, No
gales, has collection Of cups and
other trophies gathered together by
the men of the regiment that fills sew
eral great show cases.
Several commanders have come and
gone at Camp Jones in the past few
years, but the spirit has remained the
same. Camp Jones is part Of the
Douglas district. 1t is pledged to CO.
operation and good fellowship with
the citizens of southern Arizona and
the spirit is carried out in full.
The band from Camp Jones plays in
the Douglas city park several times
each week during the summer months.
This band or an orchestra picked from
it can be secured for public events at
any time. The battalion marches in
parades in patriotic celebrations and
the officers of the regiment lend their
support to many good causes.
| The soldiers at Camp Jones repre-
sent but very small fraction of the
regular army of the United States but
! they are an efficient and intensively
trained fraction. "They know thei1
stuff" The discipline among these
! troops is iron clad. The training is
thorough and goes on through months
and years. Every soldier in the regi-
ment is an expert in every detail OF
the infantry warfare. They are also
machine gunners, experts with the au-
tomato rifle and have number o1
the famous rs millimeter guns with
which the American troops in the
American eXpeditionary forces il
France took the rapid fire records
away from the Frenchmen who hac
built the gun.
The soldiers are here because there
have been times when the presence
of troops on the border was mate
rial aid in putting a prompt stop tx
raids and revolutionary movements il
Mexico that otherwise might have en-
croached seriously on American soil
