one morning and Sam Beard in

pose-merely to entertain Babe
Ruth at his home and would the
sports editor arrange it and in

Sam was given to understand
how irresponsible all ball players
are when it comes to keeping
personal appointments and that
Ruth barely got around to the
theater that night for his ad-
vertised appearance. He was
told how Walter Johnson, who
wouldn't injure the feelings Of
a flea, had actually stood up"

microphone engagement. But the

Friendship Strong Twixt Ruth and Beard

Saturday, after the game, the
emissary approached Ruth IN
the Yankee dressing room and
inquired whether he had any
thing on hand that night.
"Naw!" grunted the Bambino:
Let's drive around a bit and
get the autumn ART" it was sug-
gested. Suits mel" exclaimed
the Babe as he adjusted his
ubiquitous bow tie.
Absorbing the balmy tonic Of
far Rock Greek Park, a sugges-
ton was made to drop in on a
friend and possibly catch q
julep-or rickey!"
Done!
Later a few newspaper cou'
pies and two New York writer's
of Ruth's selection, one of whom
now holds an important baseball
office, were phoned for and the
big Bambino was like a kid at
his own birthday party. The
mans love for dancing was a
revelation and outdid, if any
thing, his passion for cooking
quaffs.
This kept up until a. m.
BY late afternoon Sunday
Ruth had gotten three hits out
of four times at bat-in the last
game of the season.
It was the beginning of a
beautiful friendship and tomor-
row may I tell you how Sam
Beard would not now be in At

Notwithstanding this fact, it is

Just as in humans, the study

ATTAINS SUCCESS
Mr.. Simms started his breeding
establishment at Xalapa in 1915
and rpadily attained success. He

Eternal won the Hopeful stakes
at Saratoga after he had begun

was when he won the Brooklyn
Handicap as a three-year-old, de-
feating the renowned Purchase.
There are 1872 horses at Xalapa,
and 129 will be sold at auction.
Eternal, sire of the brilliant and
unbeaten Xalapa Clown, will be
one of the three excluded from
the sale. He will be % years OF
age January / and will be pen
stoned for the remainder Of his
life at the only farm he has ever
known since he was a yearling.
EXCLUDES TWO OTHERS
The other two excluded from

horse foaled in 1881 by Eternal
out of imported Book Lore by

There are 81 brood mares that
