ViCe-PreSident Ruth
1916 he broke record by pitching twenty.
nine scoreless innings, repeating the feat in
1913
Soon after that Ed Barrow, then manages
of the Red Sox, saw light that made Ruth's
everlasting fortune. Brilliant as was his pitch
ing, the Babes still more spectacular hitting
ability made him too valuable an asset to be
kept out of the game four or five days week.
So in 1919 the Red Sox displayed new out
fielder who astounded the sporting world by
smashing out Twenty-Five home runs. A few
years previously Home Run" Baker had
earned his title by hitting only twelve in one
season. The record of twenty-seven estab-
lished by Ed Williamson had stood for thirty
five years.
When Harry Frazee sold his fence buster
to Colonies Rupert and Huston of the
Yankees for $135, 900 $lOO. 600 in cash -
Ruth was getting SIC, 1000 year. OF their own
accord the colonies jumped that to SO. 600.
That was his income in his twenty-sixth
year. And presently other money began to
roll in on Brother Cilberts pupil. A livewire
newspaper man named Christy Walsh broke
into the syndicate business and took up base
balls new sensation. He got the Babe syn
dicate contracts, movie contracts. barn.
storming contracts, checks for endorsing this,
that or the other advertised product All Ruth
had to do was to sign his name, do his stuff
and take the cash. Could any unseasoned
youth withstand such prosperity
The Babe began giving first-class imita-
ton of Pittsburgh Phil and other notorious
plungers. At one time he owned no fewer than
nine motor cars of the most expensive makes.
One of them stalled on the road. In the nearest
town he saw new automobile in dealers
window. Within fifteen minutes he bought it
and drove away, calling back to the salesman:
my old bus is coupla miles down the high
way; if you can make it run, it's yours!''
One of his roommates reported that during
hot spell IN St. Louis Ruth wore twenty
two th1ty-dollar silk shirts in three days. He
left them for the chambermaid.
Penalties for misconduct meant nothing to
him. Higgins fined him $1,000 at clip. In
1922 the entire Yankee team was becoming
demorali1ed because the younger element
was following in the footsteps of the star
swatter.
The result was that by 1925, although he
had earned more than million dollars in one
way and another, he had fooled away half a
million and spent the rest with practically
nothing to show for it.
At the end of 1924 he was hog-fat. In the
following spring he took off weight too quickly
and damaged his strong, hitherto splendid
body. After an illness, a season of poor per-
Torrance ensued. 1t eliminated in the out
break at St. Louis when Higgins fined him
$1,000 and suspended him.
At first even this did not curb his soaring
spirit. The experience that brought him to his
senses was the discovery that, for all of his
popularity, he was not bigger than the organ
ization, than the game that had made all these
glories possible for him. He also learned that
the public which had so loudly adored him
also adored the spectacle of falling champ.

Elk
e "Babe"
Grows Up
by LOWELL THOMAS

These jolts opened the Babes ears to
Christy Walsh who talked to his protege like
a brigade of Dutch mcles. Walsh made him
cut out the rough stuff; he made him spend the
winter at Art McGovern's, getting back into
condition. He made the Bambino start to
save his money, buy an annuity and establish
trust fund.
In 1877 Ruth was making speeches in pub
lie about thrift, flashing his bonds and an
nomcing loudly: IF Lou Cehrig don't start
saving his dough he'll take sock in the nose"
BY 1923 that trust fund amounted to $50 600.
1t has been growing ever since.
One of the best things Walsh did was to

ners and general tomfoolery. Ruth took it all,
apologised sincerely and made explanations
In his own racy ve1nacular for offense that he
had given without intention.
Soon after that historic dinner Hughey
Fullerton wrote: Nineteen twenty-six will
spell out the answer for Baseball's Bad Boy"
What was that answer2
In October 1926 the Renowned Sultan of
Swat was smashing new record with three
home runs in one Worlds Series game at St.
Louis. In 1927 the baseball world rang with
the news that the Bambino was to receive
$4,000 for three years of swat. In 1928 he
repeated his feat of three home runs in one
Worlds Series game. again in St. Louis When
his three-years' contract was up it was re-
newed at $4,000 for two years.
That was the answer.
In the fall of 1891 Ruth was looking en-
viously at an aviator who was flying over the

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
(By United Press

Gabby Street was willing to be
quoted today as saying that his
Mission Reds are in" SO far as the
pennant in the current Pacific
Coast league race is concerned.
Street based his confidence on
the clubs success against Oakland
last week and the fine start they
got last night in opening a crucial
series with the Portland Beavers.
When the Reds defeated Portland
by 90, old Hollis Thurston hurled
his eighth straight victory in lifting
the Missions to the top OF the
league, breaking a tie with the San
Francisco Seals and cheating Port
land of a chance to climb into the
control seat.
The San Francisco Seals slid
back half a game out of first place
by losing to Sacramento, 2-1, in a
hurting duel between Tom Flynn,
one of the oldest moundsmen in
experience in the league. and young
Kenny Shehan, who hurled his
first league bali only last year.
Flynn triumphed when the Sen
ators scored two runs for him in
the seventh.
Dick Barrett, Seattle ace right
handler, held Hollywood helpless
while his mates pounded out a 81
victory
Timely batting by Gene Lillald
and Jim Oglesby gave Los Angeles
ga win over Oakland.
