The Once Over
BABES ON THE YANKEES. ALLs RIGHT
WITH THE WORLD.
Copyright. 1880. by The Associated Newspapers0
By q. ]. PHILLIPS

Mr.. @. H. Ruth, the ball player, has come to term:
with the Yankees. the suspension OF hostilities be-
tween him and Colonel Rupert being marked b,
easier breathing throughout the world. Stock mar.
kets at home and abroad reacted favorably to the
news that the Babe would not quit baseball the situa-
ton in the Far East improved immeaSurably, con-
ditions in Spain and India were reported much bet.
ter, the various Chinese armies seemed buoyed up as
by no other event in two bloody years, Congress and
President Hoover exchanged kisses in one Of the jol-
lest demonstrations on record and unemployment
seemed to dry up everywhere.
From Secretary Stimson at the Naval Disarmament
Farley came this message:
Cant tell you how rews Of Babe Ruth's signing
for two years more has changed the whole complexion
Of the outlook for an agreement here. The delegates
who have been suspicious and listIess so far have
now become one big happy family. The world looks
good to us all again
Russia. the cables announced. stopped pulling down
churches for a full twenty minutes when the word
came through that the Bambino would remain in
baseball. Haiti offered to stay under American con-
troll II the Babe would autograph a ball for 1t. King
Alfonso issued a statement saying that now that Ruth
had been saved to baseball Spain could have its old
throne, ana IN New HOrk ana chicago the police
we're SO happy and appreciative that they announc-
ed that tomorrow for three minutes all clubbing OF
innocent bystanders at Red riots would be suspend

Wall street turned definitely bullish. 1t was evi-
dent that the Ruth-Ruppert pact was the signal the
market had been awaiting. Food stocks particularly
those having to do with baking products and frank
furters) were buoyant, all the soft drink shares rose
sharply and U. S. Steel was strong on the theory that
while Ruth's new contract might not benefit the
steel industry it wouldn't do it any harm.
Railroads were strong on a story that the Van
Sweringens might now buy Ruth and merge him with
their railroad systems so that his salary could be
used in case Of any deficit. A. T. g. T.. jumped ahead
in the belief thousands Of people would call up others
and talk about the Ruth case. Remington-Rand and
International Business Machines scared in the belief
that there will be a big demand for automatic CAL
culating machines by people who can't figure out how
much money $4,000 a year is any other way.
Just before the market closed there was another
rise in nearly all stocks. This was attributed to a
rumor said TO have originated in the Morgan house
that many big interests were bidding for Ruth and
that he might be split five for one.
