S6o,ooois Ruth
Col. Firm
On $4,000

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
March 13.-Babe Ruth and the
New York Yankees reached an i'm
passe in their celebrated salary
argument today, the slugger set
ting his figure at 100000 a year
for 1888 and Col. Jacob Rupert,
owner of the club, refusing to go
higher than $4,000, his original
bid.
Owner and player got together
this morning for the first time
since the close of the 1892 season,
Ruth having sent back by return
mail the contract offered him in
January. It called for $4,000, a
reduction of $4,000 from last
season. He intimated later that
he would stand for a cut of Is
per cent but when Rupert re-
opened negotiations today. 1t
was at the old figure, $50,000.
The Washington times., 1933-03-13

This he did and the new sec
ton was not opened to the
youngsters more than a couple
of days before Mike was visited
by an officer of the humane
society.
For the edification of those
of you who did not live in the
days of the humane society,
we will add that the business of
a humane officer was to see
that dray horses, as well as
those used for private trans
portation, suffered no crueltieS,
such as lack of watering on hot
days.

HIGH
NINE APPEARS
FORMIDABLE
BY SID KATZNELL

Prospects are more than bright
for the Eastern High School base
ball team the nearing season as
practically all of last years stars
are returning.
The only real star Eastern will
miss sadly is Dick Lanahan, ace
pitcher who was selected on the
Washington Times mythical all
high team last year and con-
Sidered as one of the greatest
southpaw hurlers ever turned out
by the Lincoln Park institution.
Lanahan is considering several
professional offers at present. He
is also assisting Professor" Suber
who is in charge of the Eastern
baseball candidates while "Chief"
Guyon is training the football
team, in teaching them few Of
the old tricks.
Strong Outfield
A defensive and offensive out
field is seen for the nine with
such jewels as Capt. Ed Fitz-
patrick, Tom Nolan. Ed Ben
jamin, "Red" Miller, Gibson and
Carroll available.
Equally as strong as the out
field the infield aspirants are
toiling daily in the spacious
gymnasium. Instead of using
the official league ball the in
fielderS and pitchers are tossing
a hard sponge ball around.
Among the star infield candi-
dates seeking berths are: Dickie
Fitzgerald, Harry Bassin, Joe Mills,
Joe Keegin and Viehmyer.
Way things appear at present
it looks like Joe Mills has the
old backstop job all to himself.
Mills was hailed as a fine catcher
by many high school baseball
enthusiasts last year.

Odds n Ends

1t is popularity belived in New
York that Lou Gehrig signed
for $4,000. That would repre-
sent about a 16 per cent reduc-
ton of his $25, 900 salary a year
ago.
Should Babe Ruth be able to
strike up the same kind of a
bargain with Col. Jake Rupert,
now in st. Petersburg to close
with Ruth, the latter will get
his $63,750, which will repre-
sent a moral victory for the
Babe as that is what he said
he'd accept when he returned
the contract offered him seven
weeks ago for $5O,000.
The New York State Assem-
bly, is in the act of approving
legislation which will scale the
license for fight clubs wishing
to operate, in accordance with
their seating capacity. This is
expected to relieve some Of the
smaller clubs of the terrific
financial burden which has re-
Gently closed them.
Also the bill calls for licens-
ing the ushers, timekeepers,
ticket-takers and box office
men. 1t doesn't say anything
about licensing the janitor.

satisfactory in every respect, but
the hitting was only good in
spots. Fred Schultz, the new out
fielder, performed especially well
at the plate as his home run and
triple in yesterdays game and his
single in Saturdays fracas will
prove. Dave Harris and Johnny
Kerr had their eyes on the ball
as did Buddy Myer, Goose Goslin,
Heine Manush, Cecil Travis and
Manager Cronin, but generally
speaking, there was that "spring
fever" apparent that surely will
be rectified as soon as more
games are played and few more
practice sessions are held.
One of the real bright bits of
the teams play was the showing
of Bob Boken, the Kansas City
purchase. Saturday this la d
played a whale of a game at
short after taking Manager Gro
nin's place. while yesterday he
brought to light most important
reason why he was so valuable to
the Kansas City Blues last year.
He hit a line single in the ninth
inning which drove across two
runs.
Backs Up Dope
AS a run socker Boken looks to
be all they say he is, although it
is still little early to form too
many conclusions that he can
and will drive those runs across
in the pinches. He hit 113
markers for Kansas City in 1892.
The Griffs play their next
game Wednesday of this week
with the same opponents at the
Biloxi Stadium. Manager Cronin
hasn't made any definite plans
yet as to his pitching selections,
or how his club will line up, but
he has announced that plenty of
practice is ahead for the entire
team in order to smooth out the
several rough spots which ap-
peared in the two games over the
past Weekend.
This means that the pitchers
will be pitching right, the hitters
will be hitting more ferociouSly
and the fielders will be fielding
even better than before by Satur-
day or else there'll be many ques-
tionS up for speedy answer.
The Washington times., 1933-03-13

Such was the impression gath
cred from Uncle Wilbert Robin
son yesterday as that great base
ball personality sat in the stands
during the Griff-Atlanta game
eyeing Joe Cronin and reminiscing
like a grizzled veteran of the
sport can.
"A great player, this boy
CrOnin,'' he said. "A hustler of
the highest type. He should be
a successful manager. I'm here
to tell you.. And. say, you know
I'll be pulling for him every
Z moment this season."
BACK IN GAME
Uncle Wilbert is president of
the Atlanta Crackers this year,
having returned to baseball in
this capacity after spending a full
season out of the picture.
Robbie was all smiles yesterday
as his Atlanta team triumphed
over the Griffs, IA to II, at the
Biloxi Stadium. It was free
hitting affair as the score indi-
Gates and Robbie was tickled be-
cause he likes his clubs to win so.
Robbie, it seems. took a liking
to Joe Cronin when Frisco Joe
first came up to the big leagues.
"He was a green lad with
the Pirates then, but 1 told
everybody 1 saw that he was a
great player and had the
necessary qualities which would
make him a star in a couple of
years. Nobody would listen to
me, but here he is today one
of the best ShOrt-StOps in the
game.
WAIVED OUT OF LEAGUE
"The Pirates had Glenn
Wright then, and of course
there was little chance for Joe
to break into the lineup. After
q short trial they tried to waive
him out of the league, but 1
always held up the works as l
never would waive on the boy.

NEW ORLEANS, March 13.
During the past four seasons the
warwhoop of the Cleveland In
dians has been considerably worse
than their bite. The Tribe has
always been able to reach the
first division by a comfortable
margin, but the activities of the
Redskins have caused the browS
of Connie Mack and Joe McCar-
thy to furrow only spasmodically.
To all intents and purposes the
situation is the same this year.
Cleveland once more is a poten-
TALLY powerful offensive clup.

average and an erratic defense.

Connally, and Willis Hudlin, an

Manager Roger Peckinpaugh is
earnestly continuing his quest for
a winning southpaw, a quantity
the Tribe has lacked for many
seasons. Perrin and Twogood, a
pair of untried kids. are making
the bid, but both will probably
be farmed out and the Indians
will struggle along with a strictly
orthodox hurting corps.
Fresh Mound Talent
Belve Bean, Howard Craghead
and Ralph Winegarner are the
more likely looking newcomers
among the pitchers. All three
have been up before and at least
two of them appear certain to
stick this year.

AMERICAN BRED
PAIR To JUMP
BY HARRY COSTELLO

March "a and March Is are
red-letter days for Americans in
the sport of steeplechasing.
On the first named day the
Grand National at Aintree will be
run, with two American-bred and
American-owned geldings compet-

ficially opening the American
spring season of American hunt
race meetings.
The Grand National, worlds
most historical chase, started in
1888 as the Liverpool Steeple-
chase. The race was founded by
an innkeeper of Liverpool, whose
name is forgotten, if it ever was
known. A year later the event
was moved to Aintree, where it
has been run ever since. In 1910
the first grandstand was erected
to seat those attending the run
ming of the race. The four-and-a-
half-mile course Of today is es-
sentially the course laid out in
1889. It has 80 obstacles, includ-
ing one plowed field, two brooks,
fences as high as S feet 2 inches
and as wide as Is feet.

Bob Friedrich, Luther Thomas,
Bill McAfee, Johnny Burrows and
Jack Russell in the two contests,
and on the whole every man
turned in performances that were
passable for this early stage of
the training grind.
Particularly were Linke and
Thomas impressive. The first
named, although a bit wild, held
the Crackers scoreless Saturday
at Mobile, and did so by pitching
great ball when men were on the
bases. Thomas experienced little
trouble in conquering the oprosi-
