PROTECT BASS

Speedy passage for the black
bass bill through the Maryland
Legislature was predicted by Sam
uel Thomas, head of the Sandy
Spring Izaak Walton League, to-
day, with the assurance that all
but Tidewater counties had been
lined up behind the measure.
The law would prohibit the
commercialization of the black
bass and its, retention for sport
fishing. Tidewater groups have
opposed the measure, it was said,
because it would destroy the live
lihood of many fishermen.

"A yEW YORK, January 31.-No one,
including Babe Ruth himself,
seems to be doing great deal
of worrying about whether the
biz fellow takes a $25,000 "cut" In
salary this year.
The Babe doesn't need to, although
he will be astute enough to e1ect
compromise, If that is necessary, De-
fore he signs his 1888 contract. AS we
sat down to talk things over, past anu
present, he dismissed the salary pusl-
ness with this side remark:
ITS a good thing walloped that

world series or they might have asked

nearing 40 and about to start his tWen-
tieth year in the major leagues, has
generally gained what he needed or
what he desired. He is fixed" fnan-
cially, for life, no matter whether he
quits base ball tomorrow, but he has
no more idea of quitting base ball, this
year or next, than he has Of taking
q parachute jump off the Empire state
Building.
The Babe has known tne year WIieu
he souandered close to 100000. He
admits 1t. Things were 50 bad that.
