SERIES"
You all remember Adam Como
rosky. We were great pals and
whenever he awaited his turn at
bat used to talk to him. But
one day he refused to converse with
me. ordering me away, and 1 was
puzzled over his new attitude.
The next week when the batting
averages were published I noticed
ComoroSky'S figures had tumbled
noticeably. And that week he be-
gan to talk to me again. AT the end
of another week I noticed his bat
ting average had gone up. "Jirx"
and Lady Luck apparently were the
two agents concerned in the matter.
Adam evidently cut out talking to
me trying to find solution to his
slump, but when that didn't prove
the link breaker" he resumed daily
conversation. Just another case of
baseball superstition.
Commy was a great and loyal
player with the Indians and the
day he was recalled by Pittsburgh
he actually cried over the turn of
events that took him away from his
Tribe buddies and prevented his
participation in the final pennant
drive. Well always remember

TALKING
IT OVER
WITH JOE WILLIAMS

AYEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Some days
- ago Col. Jacob Rupert of those
Yankees was quoted in the daily
gazettes as saying George Herman
Ruth would have to be content
with a one-year contract beginning
next season. Ruth is now working
out what remains of a three-year
contract at $4,000 per. 1t will expire
next October. The colonel was
quoted as saying he is none too sure
that Ruth will be continued on the
Yankee payroll at the kind Of money
he is now receiving. 1t all depends
The situation was called to Ruth's
attention in st. Petersburgh Wednes-
day, where he is exploring the
cavernous depths of sand traps, and
was asked to commit a public state
ment. He stated: 1.-THE colonel is
right when he says 1t all defends
If / am in there hitting that old
onion, as expect to, he will give me
just about what want, and think
he realizes this as well as do"
RUTH WAS ASKED IF HE REGARDED
10000 AS THE HIGHEST. SALARY ANY
BALL PLAYER CAN HOPE TO GET UN-
DER THE PREVAILING CONDITIONS. HE
REPLIED: I'LL ADMIT IT'S A LOT
MORE MONEY THAN I IMAGINED
EVER WOULD GET AND YET TODAY I
THINK TN UNDERPAID. THE YANKEES
MADE MORE THAN ENOUGH OUT OF
ONE SERIES WITH THE ATHLETICS
LAST FALL TO PAY MY SALARY FOR A
COUPLE OF YEARS"
a
ID UTH hasn't made up his mind
IN yet what he will ask the
colonel for in his new contract if
ne has another good year. But it
will be plenty" he warned. Asked
Is this might by any loose interpre-
tation mean 100000 he answered:
In round numbers, yes"
Ruth represents one of the most
involved financial studies in the his
tory of sport. He is the great Ameri-
can attraction of what is called the
grand American pastime. He packs
'em in wherever he plays, 1t is
matter of record he participated in
every new attendance mark that
has been made in the American
League since 1920.
IN NO SMALL DEGREE RUTH STIMU-
LATED THE TURNSTILE FRENZY WHICH
BUILT NEW STANDS OR ENLARGED OLD
ONES IN WASHINGTON, NEW YORK.

DELPHIA AND BOSTON. AND THERE IS
MORE FACT THAN FICTION IN THE
POPULAR PHRASE THAT THE YANKEE
STADIUM - The LARGEST BASEBALL
ARENA IN THE LAND-IS THE HOUSE
THAT BABE RUTH's BAT BUILT.
n
CONSIDERING the evidence it Is
not hard to agree with Ruth
when he ventures the lament that
he is underpaid. At the same time
there are complications. While
Ruth is what you might call league
institution, since he contributes to
the general prosperity of the organ
ization, his entire salary is paid by
Colonel Rupert.
=
If Ruth were allowed to share in
the gate receipts, as are the cham
piOn fighters, or if he were en-
gagged for important games on
guarantee basis commensurate
with the anticipated returns, he !
would be paying a much sitter
income tax.

Borah Runs True to Form

Sen. William A. Borah Of Idaho is running true to
form. He was brought to Texas by Sen Thomas B.
Love and associates in the campaign Of 1928. He was
advertised and introduced as the ablest and most sim
cere OF all republican statesmen. He voted for the
export debenture plan as a provision Of the farm re-
lief bill regardless Of the attitude Of Pres Hoover
and republican congressional leaders.
He led the fight for the retention Of the export
debenture plan in the relief bill. In a remarkable
speech the senator from Idaho recalled that Pres
Hoover had said the working out Of the agricultural
program was the greatest task Of the next admins
+ration and that the president had pledged himself
10 find a solution"
Speaking of the condition Of affairs as they exist
todav in the American congress. Borah said the
situation on almost the anniversary Of that declara-
tion uas that the farmers condition is worse than II
was when made"
r. Y conceded BY the political leaders Of the two
great parties that Sen. Borah is one OF three or lour
outstanding American statesmen. This being true
these words taken from his reply TO Sen. henry =
Allen of Kansas deserve a place In the records
Chose who advocate the debenture plan are DONG
so to give the farmer a just part Of the protective
system and in no sense as a gift ~.gratuity or special
favor to the farmer. We are asking no more than
what Won will do for dozens OF industries when you
pass the next tariff bill"
From the beginning Of the making OF the taril onl
this has been the attitude Of The Herald. "A tarln
is a bounty or a tax. II 1t Is good for the manulac-
t,,rer then why isn't it good for the farmer who pro-
duces the staples which are in demand on the bargain
counters OF the world?
Sen. Borah was a leading spokesman In the cam
pzirn of 1928 for the republican standard-bearer and
the republican party. Is he the leading spokesman
TO-DAY? Read the house record. Read the speeches
81 the administration leaders including their chief.
