 The Park City lads have already "on eight straight meets. Under Coach "Stubby" Isham the team has developed into one of the best balanced teams in this section.

 Despite demands of radio and other activities, Babe hopes to ex- ercise daily at the gymnasium un- til mld-February when he goes to St Petersburg, Fla, the Tanks training camp. He will golf and fish until the rest of the Ruppert men arrive.
 Nearing Two Score Mark
 The great man will celebrate his 10th birthday in New York Feb ruary z.
 Friends are worried over his prospects for 1894. He faded con siderably last year. Many of his 137 games were not completed, he suffered 0 couple of bad batting slumps and was benched temporar- fly for the first time in his career for weak hitting.
 Ruth now is heavier than ever before. His barrel-like body de- bends upon spindly legs for loco motion. Forty years is old age for a man to be scampering about the bases in fast company. It's par ticularly tough assignment for any one built like Ruth.
 The Babe is virtually certain to start tho season as q regular but will have hls $52,000 salary pared down. With good luck he may play q maximum of 110 contests in the 152-game schedule. If he weakens during the season, he probably will bc reserved for pinch hitting.
 Must Be "In There"
 The Yankees need Ruth more than ever; not because of his play ing ability but because he Is base balls greatest individual attra ction. For the first time since 1922, the Yanks cannot be hailed as New York's "big" team. Tho Giants 1883 world championship victory left Colonel Jacob Rupperts out fit q second-rater. New York fans cannot forget that the Tanks finished seven games behind the same Senators who took an un- merciful beating from the Giants.
 Nor can Colonel Ruppert forget 1t. He thought he had given Man ager Joe Mccarthy in 1883 the greatest aggregation of baseball players ever assembled by ono club. Something went hay wire. Now no Yankee scalp is safe until the Tanks recapture their former glory except Ruth's.
