Ruth Is to leave for Florida

and the chances Of . renewal
Of negotiations ct this time are
far from promising. In fact,
while the party broke up yeste3.
day in perfect amity. both sides,
seemed to be oncilable. The
Yankees had tried to sign Ruth
at the old terms, $4,000, on O.
one-year basis. He scoffed. They
raised the ante to SIS 900 for two
years. He shifted Ia vast disdain.
Then he told them the news and
all Of 1t was bad.
IN q formal statement, issued
after the conference, the Yankees
said they were unalterahly
opposed to q proposition that
granted anybody q three-year con-
tract and that $4,000 was as far
as they intended to 60 with Ruth.
My guess Is that. II the young
man Is austere enough. they win
reach $85,0O0 when the time
comes and be happy that it isn't
more. There Is q limit to every.
thing Of course, but Ruth never
win reach his until baseball tries
to get along without him.
| Maybe the Yankees will be able
to compromise slightly, either on
the money side Of the contract or
its length Of operation. Much
Of this will depend upon how
both sides play their cards.
There must be . certain

The Washington times., 1930-01-08

Anyhow, there are two things
that are inevitable. The first d
that Ruth, In spite Of al his
resolution, is going to be no hold
out, once the season starts, for
then it win be costing him money
to get money and even q chump
knows that doesn't pay. The
second and more pressing
inevitahility is that the New YORK
Yankees, regardless Of their pre-.
JUDGES, won't start the season
without Ruth.
They won't even start the
exhibition season without him, be-
cause here he brings them money
and takes none Ia return. Ia
other words, Ruth Is In q posi-
tion to out.wait the club.
It Is my observation that he
who can afford to wait, seldom
has to.

man, James Kincaid, 35, of Elkton
was badly burned about the hands
and head and is under treatment
at Union Hospital. The men were
employed by the Northern Mary
land Electric Power Company,
with headquarters in Elkton, and
were placing a transformer on a
pole at Hance's Point, a summer
resort along the North East River.
Both men were strapped to the
pole, when in some unaccountable
manner they came in contact with
a live wire containing 2,300 volts.
Their plight was noticed by the
ground men when they became I'M
conscious. Other linemen climbed
the pole and released them. Nc
Gonigal was dead by the time he
was brought to the ground. Kin
caid, who was unconscious, was
partly revived by DR.. Collins, of
North East, who worked over the
prostrated man until the Ameri-
can Legion ambulance arrived and
took him to the Elkton hospital.
While his condition for a time was
serious, he responded to the treat
ment and was soon out of danger.
Kincaid is a brother-in-law of
Clarence t. Alexander, who died
at Elkton Hospital Thursday, from
a fractured skull, received when he
fell from a ladder while painting
the home of William B. Merry at
Elkton, Wednesday afternoon. Nc
Gonigal is survived by his wife,
formerly Miss Frances Skillman,
of Elkton.
