Babe Ruth is 35 years old
today.
He made his appearance in
this vale of joys and sorrows
in the year 1894.
Babe has been playing in the
upper strata of the game Ia
years.
How much more baseball has
he in his system?
There are two answers to this
question, both of them fur
nished rather recently by men
who are in a position to have
authoritative ideas in the mat
ter.
Col. Jacob Rupert, owner
of the worlds champions, be-
lieves Babes days as a player
are numbered.
He is willing to give the Banl-
bino only yearly contracts be-
ginning next spring. Babe is
about to play the last season
under a three-year agreement
calling for a total of $4,000
or $4,000 a year.
On the other hand, Miller
Higgins, Yankee manager, be-
lieves Ruth has at least four
more years of baseball in his
system.
There is some disparity of
opinion in those viewpoints of
fered recently and in that each
statement came from a man
pretty well in position tc
know, they form quite a con-
trast.
OF course the number of years
for which Ruth will sign next
season depends almost solely on
what kind of a season he has
in 1929. Baseball statistics are
nearly always the basis of all
playing agreements. Is Colonel
Rupert going to say here in
the dead of winter what length
contract he will offer Ruth i
year hence in case Ruth breaks
his home-run record of so and
has another world series such
as he enjoyed last October? /?
Hardly!
Rupert knows too well the
number of customers Ruth has
attracted to witness Yankee
contests in recent years, and if.
Ruth shows no signs Of slipping
in 1929 he can just about die
tate his own terms before an
other season beckons the players
southwark. You can lay to that
one and take all you can get!
Ruth will have Rupert and
his business genius, Secretary
Ed Barrow, right out on a limb
next winter if the ensuing sea-
SON is q good one for the Sultan
Of Swing. On the other hand,
should Babes legs begin to
crack beneath him this summer
and should his home runs fall
off perceptibly, it may just as
logically be written now that he
will himself, be out on a limb,
and like all playing flesh, take
what he can get.
Such discussion may be bor-
rowing trouble a year in adj
vance, but in that Ruth will be
a ten-year man by many years
when he faces the ordeal of
arranging his next contract,
he'll have no trouble getting his
worth and then some.

mate Babe Rnth's drawing
