Telling Tales
OUT of. School

In telling the events of the early
early life of the one and only Babe
Ruth, the story would be incom-
plete without mention of some of
the escapades of our hero. AS
stated in this column previously,
Ruth was and still is to some ex-
tent, just a great big boy. A great
deal of the Ruthian big-heartedness
Is coupled with some financial aid
TO youth organizations and to some
young individuals. So 1t Is fitting
that before relating some Of the
early games of Ruth's career. some
space be devoted to the why's and
wherefores of Ruth's popularity
To begin the story of Ruth's dis
regard of money, 1t Is we'll for our
readers to know that Ruth's first
contract with the Baltimore Orioles
called for the munificent sum Of
$500 a year. At the time of sign
Ing. Ruth thought that was all the
money in Baltimore, and stated
that 500 a month for playing was
hard TO believe. He was thrilled
at the chance to play with the pen
nant-wlnnlng Orioles.
Ruth's disregard Of money fol-
lowed him to the big leagues, and
II was while playing for the Red
Sox Of the American League that
a few escapades worthy of repeat
Ing took place. Following what Is
considered his best year as a
pitcher, 1916, the year In which he
played big role in the World
Series, Ruth returned to Baltimore
with pocket we'll lined with cash.

and a few ideas of his own about
spending some Of 1t.
His first objective was to pur-
chase a diamond ring, not a chip.
but a rock" to use his own words.
After waiting a few weeks for a
local dealer to get what he thought
was the appropriate stone, Ruth
invested $1,000 in a diamond ring
He was immensely proud of his
purchase.
A short time later, Ruth ap-
peared at his Alma Mater for an
exhibition game with his former
school mates. In changing from
street clothes to a baseball uni
form. Ruth took off the ring and
handed it to someone for safe
Keeping while he played ball. At
the conclusion Of the game, Ruth
forgot who had the ring, and the
valuable stone was listed as miss
Ing. The ring was never found.
and a few weeks later a game was
played to raise funds to replace
the valuable trinket.
During the same off-season, Ruth
purchased a motorcycle. He was
living at that time In Gainesville.
near Baltimore. About a week or
so after the purchase, Ruth and
the motorcycle crashed into a Gull
vert, slightly damaging the ma
chine, but Ruth was unhurt. He
walked to st. Mary's School, and
Knowing his best friend, Brother
Matthias, had always wanted a
motorcycle, informed Matthias that
II he would go and get the cycle

and make the necessary repairs he
could have II. The request was
promptly complied with and the
motorcycle saw service for years.
Ruth also purchased a Packard
automobile. This lasted longer
than the motorcycle. but during
the following baseball season, the
machine was wrecked and Ruth
and several teammates were badly
shaken up while en- route from
Washington to Philadelphia for a
series. This led to the order that
banned Ruth from riding in pri-
vate automobiles and made IL
mandatory that he ride the train.
This order was complied with for
the remainder Of his active base
ball career.
With all this. Ruth learned that
money has value and within a few
years he was to hold out for weeks
until his employer, then the YAM
KEGS, agreed TO pay him $4,000 a

stay of the first championship team
of Lacy's Delicatets. Bill was just
a soda jerker on the West Side.
but in the evenings when the
South End Softball League held
away, Bill was the idol of hundreds
of Delicatet enthusiasts. who fol-
lowed him all over the city TO see
him NOW down the opposition.
His best feat of pitching was

the North Siders down without a

Bill outwardly seemed to have
nothing. but batsmen just couldn't

Bill was undoubtedly one Of the

slOns Meeks would give a batSman
three balls and then bet him on the
side that he would not get on base.
Very few batters won the wager
and this feat was appreciated by
the fans who got a great kick out
OF such happenings.
Yes, Sergeant William Meeks
was just about the best softball
pitcher in these parts. Lacy Cifala,
sponsor of the Delicatets, backed
his pitcher and team against all
corners. So we salute Sergeant
MeekS as this weeks choice for ALI
American mention. We know that
Bill is still moving down the
enemy.
