GEHR|G IN, LEAVING
RUTH LONE KICKER
Yank First-Sacker to Get
900, BeIief-Babe Not
Defiant HoIdout.
BY FRANK GRAHAM.

ut. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
n.-Lou Gehrig. the larruping
I flrst-sacker Of the Yankees, is
On his way to the training camp
from New York today, after advising
Manager Joe Mccarthy that he had
capitulated and signed his contract for
the 1888 season.
The signing of Gehrig leaves Babe
Ruth as the only Yankee holdout. As
the Babe reported here for training
Wednesday. the arrival of Gehrig will
complete the squad.
No announcement was made concern
ing the salary to be paid to Gehrig, but
a reasonable estimate Is SIS. 900. Gehrig
Grew $50, 1000 last year and 1t Is believed
that the sum indicated as his probable
salary Tor this year represents a COM
promise between the $4,000 first offered
to him and his demand for the same
salary he drew in 1892 His new con-
tract Is FOR one year. the Yankees some
time ago having adopted a policy of
limiting their players to one-year
contracts.
The signing OF Gehrig releases Fred
Walker. an outfielder by choice. from
duty as substitute first baseman. thus
enabling him to compete for the DOS
sible opening in right field-an opening
that remains a possibility, of course.
only so long as Ruth refuses to sign.
Walker had played first base At one
time or another in the minor leagues
and although he scarcely would make
an adequate substitute for Gehrig, Nc
Carthy had to have some one to play
the bag and Fred was working there
every day.
D UTH today declared he had taken
N off another four pounds, thus re-
duc1ng his weight to 224 pounds,
only six or eight more than his best
playing poundage
I'm in better shape right now than
I was at any time last year" the Babe
said, and any one who thinks I won't
be good for more than 80 or 100 games
barring injuries or illness, of course
can start betting me right now"
While the Babe continues to hold
out. there Is no trace Of arrogant de-
f1ance in his attitude. Signs are not
lacking. indeed. that he is about con-
vinced $4,000 is the best he can do.
and il his contract were at hand he
might sign it. He has no contract, he
revealed in casual conversation today.
When he first glimpsed the terms the
club sent to him he stuck the contract
into an envelope and mailed 1t right
back and it now, presumably, reposes
in the office of the Yankees in New
York.

Foot Ball and Base Ball.

Foot Bali ana Base Ball.
THE debut Of Orv Mohler in pro-
i fessional base ball will be watched
with interest.
Camp followers Of foot ball will re-
member Mohler as the crack quarter
back Of Southern California until an
injury checked his gridiron career last
Fall.
Now he is taking a shot at short for
Los Angeles in the Pacific Coast League,
with every prospect of turning into a

Mohler is extremely fast. high-class
competitor in every way, and the road
seems wide open.
The young Californian can look back
to tradition when it comes to q mixture
Of foot ball and base ball.
One Of the first foot ball stars to star
in the big show was Christy Mathewson,
the Bucknell fullback, rated by John
McGraw and many others as the great
est all-around pitcher of all time
Matty was high-class kicker in his
Bucknell days, better known In foot ball
than in base ball, until he put on a
Giant uniform.
Then there was Orvie Overall. the
