RUTH B0LSTERS
TRUST FUND

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Babe
Ruth top man of the Yankee
wrecking crew, arrived in the city
yesterday and went to the Bank of
Manhattan. where he added 5000
to his trust fund. He now has a
total of $780, 900 sunk away where
he can't get at 1t. No matter how
prodigal he may be, he is assured
of an income of at least $4,000 a
year for life.
This savings system has been
going on since 1926. 1t represents
none of his salary from the
Yankees. All but $4,000 of it has
come from what rhristy Walsh, his
manager, calls commercial bypro-
ducts" That is: transforming
trips, writing, advertising, vaude-
VILE the movies and the numerous
things for. which he gets paid by
persons other than the Yankees.
When the Babe was getting
a salary Of $4,000 a year ne
spent it. He gets $4,000 a
year from the Yankees now,
and he spends it. He is what
Is known as good spender.
There is also less polite
word for a man who lets him
self be taken for $4,000 a
year. He's a big guy, and he
does things i'm big way,
whether it is knocking out
hOmers or handing out cash.
If he did not have this trust
fund, 1t would he good bet that
when the Babe hung up his shoes
and quit baseball, he wouldn't have
a dime. He is the greatest ball
player that ever lived. He is the
most likeable fellow in the world.
There never was anybody like him
in baseball, and there proba bly,
never will be after he gets out. But
he doesn't know how to handle
money.
His present savings were started
after his sorrowfuI season of 1925.
He was down, and the boys were
singing his swan song for him. 1t
was then that the Babe got wise
to himself. He got $4,000 of his
salary from the Yankees and in
vested it in a trust fund.
His comeback is history. He Iin-
vested other money in a $5O,O0
annuity and in July Of this year
he paid the final $4,000. The
$4,000 he put in the trust fund
yesterday brought that account to
$50 900. .t s3N
The investments are so arranged
that the Babe cannot touch the
principal. Never. All he gets is the
interest. This and his salary of
so 900 afford him spending money.
1t il all most interesting. But a
more interesting adventure will
come when, in three, or four, or
five years from now. he retlres
from baseball and starts living on
an income of maybe $4,000 or
$4,000 a year, when he has been
accustomed to spending more than
$40 900.

AND there is q Tine line or dlStlnc-
ton which most of us are slow to
draw. We are too prone, think,
to look only to results in estimating
mans worth.
/ do not mean that what we call
style, !" without results, Is of any
great value. We have all seen very
fine looking players who simply
could not get the figures, and were
soon forgotten IN any competition.
But there are men who win big
tournaments and have compiled very
|creditable records, who employ a
form wholly individual and appar-
emily contrary to all accepted ideas
OF how the game should be played.
The success OF these men Is, think
dangerous in its effect upon the
many who are striving to develop
a sound method OF hitting the ball.
The examples which they
furnish are likely to encourage
In almost any fashion with
equal chance Of success, and
that there is no need to eradi-
cate extraordinarily unOrthodox

To a Scot, a good player is 4
man who. gets results hut doesn't
look quite right while he is doing
1t. To one watching that kind of
a player ii would appear to mat
ter little in what way the shot
might be played.
But the average observer prob
ably would forget one very import
ant thing namely that with all his
peculiarities. the man was still man
aging to bring the club upon the
ball in the proper way, counteract-
ing his fault without eliminating
It.
The late J. Douglas Edgar's swing
and method are apt1y illustrative OF
what / mean. Ergar's grip was
most extreme, the right hand being
far under the shaft and the left

As long as he can keep his queer

 Schaffer of the Casa De Paga was with us this a. m. He re- ports that the dredge has been pumped out again and is now steadily harvesting the golden stream.
 Mass, also of the Casa De Paga, was behind him but an hour. He reports pay on the old channel where he and Gaylord were pros- pecting this summer. also that eight claims between Banner and Ruby prospect very good and is good dredging ground. Mass re- grets that he has to leave for the outside as he likes tho country and there is a splendid opportunity to amass a fortune on the Casa by dredging operations.
 Shorty Nelson is steadily pros- pecting and taking out his winter grub stake. as also are others. and it is self evident that when men year after year by the crudest methods and under adverse condi- tions can take out a grub stake there must be fortune for men with up-to-date methods.
 The road on Shovel creek lead ing to Andy Nylen's dredge was recently washed out. Andy report ed the matter to the Road Com mission and a gang of men went to repair it. They found forty feet of the roadbed washed out to a depth of four feet, so new road was built and Andy is now all smiles as he can again use his car instead of walking. He is still drilling but has not yet found any prospects that would warrant im- mediate operations.
 John Nelson from Big Hurrah was at the Road Commission camp today to transact some legal busi- ness over the phone. He had with him a small bottle filled with coarse gold that he had banned out while running a bedrock drain. The prospects in the drain aver
