The Yale Bowl was the objective to-

Yale, with the advantage of playing

the Blue close fight, and conceivably
might win. Yale went South to meet
Georgia last year and took a 1870 beat

The largest salary of all tine.
Quite naturally the contract will
go to Babe Ruth, somewhere in
Florida, and the figures are quite
likely to read $1500O0 for the sea-
sons Of 1890 and 1881.
Colonel Jacob Rupert and the
Babe are understood to have agreed
on this figure some time ago, when
every one else was concerned over
Miller Higgins successor as man
ager of the Yankees.
Salary Is $4,000
After Ruth'S contract was settled,
the lesser important business of
picking the Yanks' leader was gone
into and ended with Bob Shawkey
getting the assignment. Shawkey's
salary is understood to be some
where in the neighborhood of

Of directors are in favor of trading
Vance before they pay him the same
salary again this season.
If Vance is sold or traded, he prob
ably will land with either the Chi
cago Cubs or Cincinnati Reds.
Grimes is understood to have
asked the Pittsburgh club for a
$4,000 salary next season and Bar
ney Dreyfus is said to be opposed
to meeting the right-handed aces
demands.
Grimes is said to have been Of

Another pitcher demanding a big

his first year in the big league last
season. Terrell wants $12,50O, while
