Babe Ruth Worth $50, ,OOO 6 Year, Dassy Vm,ce Says,
 Citing Woes Of Players

HCMCSASSA, Fla, Jan. IA Babe Ruth ought to get $80,0O0 for His services this year, Dazzy Vance believes.
 Vance, at his inn here for the winter, received $23,000 for his work on the mound for the Brook lyn Nationals last year, and both he and the Bambino are to nego- tiate new contracts this spring.
 The Dazzler predicted a cut in players salaries, and big seasons for Hack Wilson, who goes from the Chicago Cubs to the St. Louis Cardinals and for Al Lopez, youth full Brooklyn catcher. He said he thought there would be several more important trades before the season opens.
 "A ball players professional life is about Is years" Vance said. "It takes him five years to get in the majors. He has five years or less in the big circuits, another five years in the minors and he is through. His age is around 35. He must start at a new business in competition with men who have been following that line for 15 years or more.
 Lots of people think playing baseball is one big lark. They

seem to think if d player gets over $10,0O0 year he is overpaid. But baseball Is @ business just like banking, insurance or practicing law.
 ''If a fellow in other lines made $750,000 year for his firm, he would want about half if it and probably get it.
 Ba3c Ruth should have s80.o00 for his work this season, regardless of the depression, his legs or any other objection. After his first year with the Yankees his salary was raised to $25,000. People thought that was too much, but the Yankees drew about $750,0O0 more in gate receipts that year"
 About the 1882 pennant race, Vance said he couldn't hazard a guess at this time.

Declaring that whooping cough
has caused nearly so per cent of
the deaths in Arlington county
since 1920, DR.. P. M. Chichester,
county health officer,
today urged parents to regard
with suspicion persistent coughs
in children. He said:
"The long period of bronchial
irritation may give rise to
pneumonia, or be the starting
point for tuberculosis or chronic
bronchitis.
"There is quite a prevalence
of whOOping cough in the
county at present because peO-
pie disregard the dangers at
tending the disease, often taken
for a bad cold. All cases should
be reported to the health de-
partment at once to minimize
the danger of transmission of
the disease"
