AHIAMI, March 17.-Stirred by
4FA national ardor and civic
pride, members Of the Brooklyn
baseball club will hold formal key
party one night this week to in
dulge in a soiree Of patriotic beer
drinking.
Since the business of guzzling has
been placed on a patriotic basis,
Joseph Gilleaudeau, who is down
here looking after the financial and
social phases of the club, feels that
the Brooklyns should set the pace,
staggered though it may be.
This is the first time in the men,
DRY of the worlds oldest reporter
that the management of baseball
CLUB has called its athletes together
in the midst of a spring training
season and compelled them to tear
into the foamy stuff or suffer the
C consequences, which in this instance
probably would mean disfranchise-
ment or Punishment from the
country.
I am told that Gilleaudeau enter
tains no fears about the loyalty or
gallantry Of the BrooklynS and that
he is confident when the call comes
to advance with unsheathed stems

upon the entrenched Pilsner pots,

alacrity and parched tonsils, deter
mined to save the country at any
sacrifice.
THE action of the Brooklyns in
l. dictates definitely that baseball
may be counted upon one hundred
per cent in the happy scheme to
drink the country back to prosperity
The surprise is that Colonel Jacob
Rupert and his Yankees did not
swing the first bung starter. His
attitude has been rather mysteri-
Gus and I am forced to admit there
has been widespread criticism.
If the Colonel was really one of
us-a soldier in the field-he would
have a keg of dark brew in the
Yankees dugout right now" said
a loyal suds blower, as he released
his grip on the billiard table and
slid gently to the floor, amid res
onant burpS.
Seriously, the club owners are
going to try to get the athletes back
on the beer carts. There has been
just as much drinking among the
athletes in recent years as ever in
the past and most of the drinking
has been in Speakeasies and pool

rooms where a dash ot ink and a
spoonful of cleansing i've form the
ingredients Of an old fashioned, a
side car or a dry Martini.
For years Garry Hermann, preSi-
dent of the Cincinnati Reds, used to
carry his own beer around with him
on road trips. thus sounding the So
cial key of the whole club. He al
ways used to say "a glass Of good
beer never hurt anybody and two
glasses couldn't help but be big
help"
A COUPLE Of years ago, when
L N the Brooklyns went into one
of their periodical tail spins in mid
season, Uncle Wilbert Robinson
remember him?-senU out and got
four cases of beer, and made the
defenseless athletes drink it. They
tell me it was a terrible sight to
behold. and only a vicious sadist
could have conceived it.
Judge Emil Fuchs, president of
the Boston Braves, is another who
has long advocated the use of beer
for the hired hands as a tonic, a
food and even a mental Stimulant-
although with respect to the latter
he does seem to be excessively opti-
miStic.

$4,000 Is
Ruth Offer
Babe Says He viii Accept
Cut, but YankS Say
$4,000.

By United Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
17-Babe Ruth and his boss, Colonel
Jacob Rupert, had a St. Patrick's
day appointment to discuss the
pairing of the green"-the shear
ing Of $4,000 in long green from
Ruths 1882 salary.
The Babe arranged the conference
and told the press he would be
willing to sign for $4,000.
But Herr Rupert said if his ia
nous right fielder did any signing
it would be fore the original $4,000
offered in the 1888 contract.
Why" said the colonel, $4,000
is guaranteed 5 per cent income
on a million dollars. And that's
some income in these days"
Their previous conference was
Monday, but they made no progress.
Meanwhile, citizens of st. Peters
burg have been bringing pressure
on both for another meeting, hop
ing to have the Babe signed before
many more exhibition games are
played.
The absence of baseball's greatest
drawing card from games is affect
ing the gate. The Chamber of Com
MERGE would like to have the Babe
in the games for the benefit of the
visitors, and, moreover, because The
chamber guarantees the Yanks a
certain amount of expenses for the
season. The deficit caused by poor
gates must be made up by that Or
ganiZation.
Yesterday the Babe took his usual
workout at Higgins field in the
forenoon with several other YankS,
but remained away from Waterfront
park for the game with the Braves
! in the afternoon.

Any eighth grade student can tell
you quicker than you can say
Blackboard is picking Greencastle";
that approximately $19,335 goes into
the 1. H. S. A. A. Golfers after the
tourney.
1t isn't generally known, but this
is the only income of any Importance
on the I. H. S. A. A. books. Just like
football carries the athletic burden
in the colleges, so must Indiana's
basketball championship finals care
for all other expenses of the I. H
S. A. A.
Commissioner Trester's salary, his
secretary's salary, Office mainten-
ance and expenses for board of con-
troll members travelling to and from
executive sessions, are only few
of the items.
More important is the fact that
without basketball, there could be
no track and field championships,
no prep golf championship tourna-
mentS.
In 1882, the Indiana high school
outdoor and indoor track champion
ships went approximately $4,000
into the red. The outdoor event
cost the I. H. S. A. A. $1,275 and the
indoor carnival $1,651. These losses
are paid out of the fund created by
the annual cage championships. The
golf tournament lost $240 in 1882.
The swimming meet also is recorded
in red ink.
IT generally is believed the I. H. S.
l. A. A. takes big cut out of the
sectional and regional tournaments
which precede the big classic. This
year, sixty of siXty-four sectionalS
have reported to date, and the total
amount collected by the association
is $108. One tourney paid in seven
cents, and many others less than ST..
Eight of the sixteen regionalS
played last Saturday have paid in
approximately $1,000 Two of the
eight didn't earn a cent for the 1.
H. S. A. A. After the remaining
eight make their reports, the total
will not exceed $4,000 and probably
will be less.
These figures, all from the Office
OF the 1. H. S. A. A., demonstrate
rather conclusively that Indiana's
biggest indoor sports event is not
strictly money making scheme.
The profits which were accrued
during the first twenty-five I. H. S.
A. A. cage tournaments were di-
vided among the 800 member schools
who pay $3.50 annually to belong.
in October, 1882. A sinking fund of

OFF THE Blackboard
BY VERN BOXELL

TFWENTY- THREE thousand dol
4 lars worth of basketball will
be played at Butler field house to-
day and Saturday
That's how much cash the Indi-
ana High School Athletic Associa-
ton will put back into circulation.
That's why, a few days back, some
doubt was expressed the big show
would go on as originally scheduled.
It requires approximately $23,265
to stage the Hoosier scholastic two
day cage championship carnival.
And that's a pretty penny, with or
without the return of beer, pros
perity and soaring stocks.
There was a minor agitation in
recent weeks to slash the price Of
tourney tickets from SO to 81, but a
glance at the records in A. L. Tres
ters files will show that the three
iron men Mr.. and Mrs. Gus H. Fan
drop in the tills are needed to carry
on the I. H. S. A. A.
CTHE biggest item in the liabilities
Il is the $4,000 rent which But
Ter collects annually for the use of
its mammoth field house. The 1.
H. S. A. A. ten-year lease at the
$4,000 figure has four more years
to run after the current event.
Each team is guaranteed $3.50
when it qualities for the final tourn-
ament. This includes $72 for meals,
$72 for lodging, a $500 bonus and
twelve tickets at SO each. For six
teen competing teams, this totals
$7,680.
This doesn't include the transport
tation costs, which were $1,189 "A
for last year and will be practically
the same this year. Five officials
were paid $375 last year.
Another $4,000 is expended for
miscellaneous items, including the
field house help, printing of tickets
etc.
A new item will be added to the
expenses this year. The seating ca
pacity has been increased by 1,120
