GOOD FOR ) MORE
YEARS, SAYS RUTH
Asserts He Still Is Worth
$50, 900 to Yanks-Pre-
diets Win Over AS.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
N YEW YORK, January T. -~ Babe
M Ruth not only thinks he still
v is worth $4,000 year to the
Yankees, depression or no de-
preston, but he has no idea whatever
of quitting the game so long as he
can hold his own with these young
fellas."
"I might like to be g. manager of
big club some day, although haven't
given that much thought" said Ruth.
Il want to round out at least 20 years
as 1 can go. The only thing I don't
want to do is hang around so long
they have to show me the bench or the
gate and tell me I'm just an old man.
But the way l feel now I'm good for
at least five more years"
In better condition today than he
ever has been and with the figures of
his trainer, Artie McGovern, to prove
1t, Ruth is ready to show his employer
number of good reasons why he
should be kept on the pay roll without
cut.
II haven't talked it over yet with
Col. Rupert" Ruth told newspaper
men after a brisk workout before the
cameras, "and I don't expect any
trouble when I do, but I still think
I'm worth that 100000. I'd like to sign
for that on one or two year basis.
Last year was one of the best I
ever have had, despite the injury that
laid me up for a few days in Boston.
But for that I think I would've had a
good chance to break the home run
record. I still think can do it. The
ball doesn't seem any deader to me.
When I sock it right, it still goes
plenty"
Admits He Can Act.
Among other items of public interest,
Ruth admits he recently shot round
of 73 at golf; that his Waistline now is
reduced to a mere 38 inches ca foot less
than it measured in 1929; that he's a
better movie actor than he thought he
was, and that the 1882 American
League pennant race Should be a
breeze" for the Yankees.
Yeah, 1 know the Athletics still have
Grove and EarnShaW and those babies
can pitch, and this Simmons can hit, :"
he argued, but we should have beaten
'em last year and we will do it this
year because the Yanks will have lot
better pitching"
Ruth was to have had a workout
with Max Schmeling yesterday for the
benefit of photographers, at McGovern's
gymnasium, but the heavyweight cham
pion at the last minute telephoned he
was otherwise engaged.
Hey, you don't suppose that guy
took runout, do you?" demanded
Ruth as he swung left hook to the
chin that daZed McGovern during a
brief sparring match.

CARDINALS BATTLE
MEXICAN T0SSERS
Champs Visit C. U. Tomorrow
for Capitals First Inter-

T " WASHINGTON tomorrow night

w WASHINGTON tomorrow night
M will see its first international
" " basket ball contest, when

institutions in existence with a student
body of $4,000 that includes representa-
tlyes OF every state in the Republic of
Mexico and Of nearly every country in
the world.
Mascarones is branch of the Uni
versity of Mexico and as it was the
first to start playing basket ball in the
university and for number of years
represented it in this sport, the varsity
basket ball teams of the institution are
always called MaScarones, although they
are composed Of all departments of the
university.
The Mascarones have held the national
championship of Mexico for two years

A. j. PLAYS THREE
| VIRGINIA SCHOOLS
Randolph h-Macon Formidable
Foe-Georgetown Opposes
CreScents, N. Y. U.
BY HI. C. BYRD.
A MEXICAN UNIVERSITY and

A MEXICAN UNIVERSITY and
~ Georgetown leave today
1 \ and tomorrow to spend
their week ends in basket
ball competition on foreign floors.
The former, beginning tonight,
has three contests with schools in
Virginia, while the latter goes to
Brooklyn and New York.
In its opening game tonight
American U. may hit the same
kind of snag it ran up against in
foot ball last Fall and at the same
place, Randolph-Macon College,
at Ashland. Rumors have come
this way that Randolph-Macon
has a basket ball team about as
good as it's eleven was, which is
quite complimentary.
Randolph Macon had a team that far
exceeded its usual Fall output, a team
that was good enough to whip Rich
mond University and tie Virginia, ac-
complishments almost unheard of in
previous seasons. If the basket ball
team, as Is rumored is comparatively
as strong, then American U. is in for a
lot of trouble.
The other two games American Uni
versity is to play while on the trip are
with Virginia Medical College tomorrow
at Richmond and with Sidney
Saturday. The local school feels that.
barring unusual strength in the
Randolph Macon five, it has an even
chance in any one of the three contests.
Georgetown is due to meet plenty of
opposition in Crescent Athletic Club
tomorrow night and New@York Uni
versity Saturday. The Crescent five
usually is made up of former college
stars, and a group of good players who
have been together for a long while
make about the strongest kind of
basket ball team, whether or not there
IS much good coaching. N. Y. u. also
Is able on the great majority of occa-
slons to hold its own on the court. In
other words, Georgetown's quint is due
to get real test this week end If it
can split even on this trip, the Blue and
Gray may feel more than satisfied with
results so far, and be really encouraged
Tor the remainder of the schedule.
CEORGETOWN'S victory over Uni
~ versity of Baltimore last night, 81
to %, in the Tech High gym, gives
it the opportunity to go North without
a defeat. Freddie Mesmer's five played
far more consistently good basket ball
than the Baltimoreans and further
strengthened the feeling at Georgetown
that Mesmer is the man who will pull
basket ball out of the doldrums.
II Mesmer can bring the Blue and
Gray back from New York with a pair
Of victories he will Just about own
Georgetown, as far as basket ball is
concerned. Mesmer is the quiet un-
assuming kind of chap who deserves all
the success he attains.
Pot shots from midcourt enabled Bal
timore to hold the Hoyas to a 1911
count in the first half, but in the
second the Blue and Gray attack func-
toned more smoothly and the margin
gradually was increased The play of
King, Bonniwell and O'Neil for George
town was of high order
The Hoya Freshmen defeated the
Sophomores, 27 to IL.

would seem that the way would be
open for her to batter her way on

Continuation of the Japanese war

century.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
The danger is greater today than
it was in 1900, when America pre-
vented Europe from tearing China
to pieces. At that time Russia,
Germany, Britain and France were
the ringleaders.
Accepted Open Door
Fearing war among themselves,
however, if they attempted to divide
China, they accepted the open

doctrine of the American Secre-
tary of state, John Hay.
Today there are only three great
powers in the running out there
Britain, France, and Japan. Among
these, division of the Spoils would
be easier, their spheres of interest
being respectively in middle, south
and north China.
The tariff war, begun by the
United States, adds to the danger.
In world where each nation aims
to shut out the goods of the others,
more territory-pa particularly thickly
populated territory with great po-
tential buying power-becomes in
creaSingly worth while.
