that Ruth is worth more than the sum mentioned in the contract, but they have expressed their confidence that he will sign for less than the sum he so persistently mentions. The offer of the Philadelphia Athletics of $75,000 to Ty Cobb has seriously embarrassed Ruppert and Barrow. Ruth and his newly-acquired business manager, press agent and close bodyguard—Christy Walsh—feel certain that if Cobb, worn and almost through except as a box-office magnet, is worth such a sum, then Ruth, still a fine player and an even greater attraction than Cobb, must be worth at least $100,000. One-Year Contract. Barrow declared yesterday: "When Ruth arrives here we shall be ready to talk business with him. He is coming to us; we did not go after him. We did that once—got his name on a five-year contract and then repented for five years. We have discovered that when men themselves up along terms immediately relax and take it easy. They last only in the last year of the term, when they are fighting for a renewal. Ruth’s contract will be for one year. If he does well in 1927 he will get good treatment in 1928. If he keeps going in 1928 he will get a square deal in 1929. But a player like Ruth must keep working hard, and for his own protection and his own good we mean that he shall have no incentive to take it easy."

Marchand, “Paris Times.” The Corinthians amateur Association football team from England had a brilliant victory yesterday at the Buffalo Stadium in Paris when it defeated the Red Star Olympique by 2 goals to 0. A large crowd watched the match, and applauded generously the skilful play of the visitors. Their forwards and wings were at the right place at the right moment, but excellent defensive work on the part of the Red Star prevented them from running up a higher score. There was one incident. Chantrel was off-side when he received a pass and booted the ball into the net. Following a protest by one of the touch-judges the referee declared “No goal.” Chayriguès, the French goal-keeper, protested against this ruling by leaving the field, but he was finally persuaded to continue to play. The Racing-Club de France scored at the expense of Newport in a Rugby match at Colombes Stadium, after the Welsh fifteen had taken the lead at the start and maintained it throughout the first period. The game was last. Newport scored first when Davies, the international, secured a try just before the last ended. It was not converted. After play was resumed, the French team assumed the offensive. The final score was Racing-Club 17 points, Newport 6. IRELAND’S FIFTEEN. No Change for the Match With Wales At Dublin.

Harvard Captain Wins Larned Cup at Indoor Tennis (Paris Times Spécial) NEW YORK,—The honor of being the first to inscribe his name on the new William A. Larned tennis trophy goes to J. S. Whitbeck, captain of the Harvard team, who will lead this summer a combined Harvard-Yale team against Oxford-Cambridge players, at Eastbourne, England, for the Prentice International Intercollegiate Cup. Whitbeck is the winner of the intercollegiate indoor singles at Cornell University. The Larned Trophy, given to honor the memory of the former Cornellian who became a Davis Cup star, was disputed by teams from twelve universities and colleges in the East. This was the first intercollegiate indoor tournament held in this country. It is intended to make the event an annual one, ranking in importance with the intercollegiate outdoor tournament. Whitbeck’s opponent in the final was C. F. Marsh, of Williams. Marsh won the first set, but the Harvard player took him down. The scores were 4-6, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2. Eggmann and Garretson, of Cornell, defeated Watson and McGlinn, of Yale, in the five-set doubles final. Harvard, with 24 points, won the team trophy. The following competed: Yale, Michigan, Harvard, Ohio State, Pennsylvania, Hamilton,

Barrow found the team demoralized because of the war draft, but he managed to build up his outfit and win the American League pennant that year. Ruth was barely in the .300 class. Barrow found himself hard up for pitchers the following year, yet he kept Ruth in the outfield most of the time because he was convinced that the Babe was a great hitter. His confidence was vindicated when Ruth knocked out twenty-nine home runs in 1919, a figure that had never before been even approached. It was this performance that caused the Wealthy New York club to buy his services. The rest is history. It is quite possible that Ruth would be just an ordinary pitcher now if Barrow had not “smelled” his class with the bat. So Barrow can talk to Ruth about salary or anything else. As a matter of fact, Ruppert has no complaint because Ruth howled when he saw that contract for $52,060. His only criticism could be that Ruth did not bow enough. If the Yankee player and the Yankee owner met on the quiet and signed a contract, there would be a disastrous loss of publicity. No one expected the Babe to sign for any such sum; it was just one of Ruppert’s little jokes. The

No one expected the Babe to sign for any such sum; it was just one of Ruppert’s little jokes. The bidding had to start somewhere, so Ruppert just placed it at the former old figure. He might just as well have said fifty-two pins as $52,000. When Colonel Tillie Huston signed Ruth five years ago at Hot Springs, Arkansas, there were offers, curt refusals, ruptures of negotiations, threats, reprisals, more refusals, and finally the signature. Both sides claimed a victory, and the baseball world clapped loudly and voted it the best theatrical performance of the year. That was real publicity. Now that Ruth and much technique by appearing in the “movies,” will show will be even better this time. The more Ruth screams and shouts, the more people will go to see him play this season. Has collected $75,000 ? can expect that the Gratifying Decision. The best news that the sporting world has received lately is that the United States has decided to take part in the Schneider Cup races in Italy this fall. The United States Congress failed to provide sufficient appropriations for the expense involved, but at the last minute a means has been found, and three United States seaplanes will be on hand in Venice in September.

With England determinedly preparing ahead with her preparations and with Italy firmly resolved to retain the international trophy won at Norfolk last year by Major de Bernardi, it begins to look as if the Schneider Cup race in 1927, will exceed all former popularity. All's well that ends well, Sam Swannis. MACLAY NOW STROKE OAR AT CAMBRIDGE Elles Replaced by Former Bow after Strenuous Trials—Oxford is Improving. (Paris Times Spécial) LONDON, Wednesday.—The chief incident of the past few days in the practice of the Cambridge eight at Ely has been the shifting of Maclay from bow to stroke. At present it is not regarded as a permanent change, and it is hoped that Elles will soon be in fit condition to take up his oar again. Elles’ departure from the boat came after a particularly hard practice toward the end of last week. Although he did not show signs of being any more fatigued than the others, his place next day was taken by Anstey, and when practice was resumed this week after a rest on Saturday, Maclay was found in Elles’ seat, with Wynne-Thomas taking the bow oar. The unfavorable rowing conditions on the Thames during the past week have proved a strenuous test for the Light Blues.
