x Billy Burke, the national open
golf champion, has added an
other links title to his list.
Burke, who is the Bellair home pro,
clicked off cards of 70-7o-72-76-288

BABE WILL CONFER
ON CONTRACT SOON
No Trouble With Rupert
About Terms LikeIy-Apt
to Play March IL.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

ut. PETERSBURG, Fla, Feb
- ruary 29.-Pepper Martins
~ quadrennial birthday and
Babe Ruth's annual coming
out at the Yankees training camp
today helped stimulate the major
league forces fast gathering all
along the Southern fronts.
The Babe has swung his bat few
times so far, but he was in gols elothes
when he did it and he has been doing
all his training on nearby links. Today,
however, the big fellow planned to get
into uniform for the first time, report
unoficially to Manager Joe Mccarthy
and work out at WaterTower Park,
even at the great personal sacrifice of
cutting his golf diet from 36 to 18 holes
for the day.
Sees Yanlxs in World Series.
Wish the Pepper many happy re-
turns for me and tell him will see Eim
in the world series next october, II not
sooner" laughed Ruth when told
Martin would have his first chance in
four years to cut himself a piece Of
birthday cake today.
The fact that the Babe has not yet
signed his 1892 contract, owing to a
slight difference of opinion with Col.
Jacob Rupert over whether he can get
$4,000 for one or two years, will not
keep Ruth from working out regularly
with the Yankee squad from now on.
However, he will not play in any ex-
hibition games unless and until he
signs. because Of the risk involved. He
reached the same conclusion two years
ago, but put his name on the dotted line
just in time to get into competition.
History Apt to Repeat.
The first exhibition game for the
Yankees is scheduled here March IL.
Col. Rupert is due in camp few days
before that, and the prospects are his
tory will repeat itself, with all the Gus
tomary ceremony and ballyhoo attached
to the Ruthian affairs of this kind.
Jake and I will get together" de-
clared Ruth. "A $4,000 cut is OK. with
me, but I think I ought to get two
year contract on that basis, instead Of
the one year they offered me-"
Ruth received $50, 900 for each of the
past two years. and rejected a one-year
offer of $4,000 made to him in Janu-
ary.

Bob Is the smallest pitcher at camp,

feet 1912 inches. That's a few inches
shy Of where the maestro Of this grape

more than atones for his lack of height.
