Six dozen handkerchiefs and
more than a dozen ties were

They offered him big money, but
he put on two shows and

NEW YORK, Jan. 16. - Babe
Il Ruth has signed with the
Yankees. You may properly ask:
What of it?" Doesn't the Babe
always sign with the Yankees?
This year there was less emo
tional interest in the matter than
ever before. The Babe and his
contracts have finally become
routine stuff. He has reached that
stage Of the Ansons. the LaJoies,
the Wagners, the Cobbs and the
Johnsons. With the autumn Of life
he has come to the end Of the line
One of the ruthless things about

it can mean nothing so far as per-
