The Tech-Central game on Febru-

Eastern was unexpectedly jolted by

and both must drop two games in
order for the Capitol Hill lads to

tiny ray, though.
1t was gallant. uphill fight that

presence, the latter going all the
way to Hollywood last year in order
that the boy friend might uplift
the drama without straining a care.

In consequence, Ruth staked him
self to two of his greatest seasons
in 1925 and 1927 and, meantime, was
able to secure the biggest contract
in the history of all baseball, $40 900
year.
Perhaps, however If any mistake
has been made. it wasn't Ruth's.
Perhaps 1t came in making that
contract read for three years, Of
which two are vet to elapse.
Anyhow, Ruth started the present
off season with a right good will
and was down to 226 pounds at
McGovern's in December. He hasn't

two.
If any time is a good time to
loaf, the writer would say. off

In any case. it doesn't remove
