proposal that the colonel turned town.
 Ruth was scheduled 10 occupy his customary right field post today in the first exhibition game of the season with the Boston Braves but unless there is a speedy settlement ! of the salary issue, the Babe likely i will appear in no further contests. The big hitter. after digesting the i situation last night came to the conclusion that he would be running risks by playing while not under 1 contract. In other words, an injury might place him in the predicament | of being unable to press his claims for a bigger and better salary from the Yankees.
 Most of the war correspondents in camp were considerably sur- priscd by the latest development. in the much ballyhoocd contract war. In the first place. they did not think Colonel Ruppert would raise the ante" Secondly, they did not believe the Babe would reject an offer that meant an income tw.ce as great as that of any other major league player. Rogers Hornsby ct the Cubs is the only athlete receiN- ing as much as s40,000 year for his services. Ruth received S70,000 last year.
 Overnight, the general expectation was that Ruth, rather than prolong the argument, would accept the SS0,000 offer for two years. On the other hand. the Babe has displayed unusual stubborness in holding to his original demands. He yielded & year by reducing his demands from 6 thrce-year contract to a twoyear basis, but seemed to feel that Col onel Ruppcrt would bid another 35,0O0 in the game which has all the earmarks of a two-handed Ges- sion of pinochle. Ruth has acted like a gambler who considered 'S5 grand his lucky number and TO- fused to try any other set of nu- morals.

 Never since the beginning Of tho season did the Gascos look worse than they did last night and on few occasions this season did the corbin Cabinet team look better. The result was quite apparent. Corbin Cabinet won by a one-sidcd Sl to s score.
 The half time score was s to , in favor Of the Tobinmcn but short ly after the second half opened Johnny Shcchan who had been very quiet offcnsivcly threw three long shots which made the score 15 to 9. Rcstclli followed shortly after with two baskets but the Cabinet gang was also scoring. At one time the score was 4 to IS in favor Of the GasCos. However, they took tho gas in the final minutes and Col wick, Lyndon Carroll and Stohl scored in succession.
 Every man on the C. C. |" team scored. Johnny Colwick, however, was the head man in this respect. Carroll who started his first game in many months proved very capable Besides scoring two field goals he made four out of six from the foul line.
