_ BABRTOPLAY TW __YRARS WITH YANKS + | AYSBI000 SALARY * Ruth Signs Armistice; Money Will Go ‘In Sock for Fam- ily’s Bread and Butter’ St. Petersburg, Fla, Mar. 8—(?)— The contract controversy between Babe Ruth and the New York Yan- Kees was settled quickly today when the home run king agreed to terms for the new two years at $80,000 a year at a conference with Colonel Jacob Ruppert, the club owner. For- mal contracts at this figure, an in- crease Of $10,000 over Ruth’s previous Salary, will be signed on Monday. Ruth's apparent change in attitude from yesterday, when he rejected the | her aged accomplice to kill Mrs. Clo- colonel’s $80,000 offer as well as $85,- | 000 for a one year contract, was par- tially brought about by the advice of friends who felt he should go half- ‘way to meet Ruppert's compromise Babe Declares Armistice Ruth, deciding overnight to capitu- Tate to Colonel Ruppert’s compromice | offer, came in to St. Petersburg at noon to seek out the Colonel and de- clare an armistice in the battle that thas been waged for several weeks, "The Babe was kept waiting more than an hour in a hotel lobby before | Colonel Ruppert returned from a walk | but it took him only five minutes to reach a complete agreement on the basis of the club's last offer, made | yesterday, and which Ruth had at/ first rejected. | Ruth had held out’ for $85,000 for | three years but yesterday trimmed his| emands to this figure for two years. | Ruppert, originally offering $75,000 | for two years, added $5,000 to this yesterday and “‘stood pat” on it. i The big hitter issued this statement | immediately after coming to terms: | “Being persuaded it is for the best | interests of the Yankees and being! eager to step right in and give every Possible help to our new manager and | My old pal, Bob Shawkey, I have con-/ ceded my point and accepted terms| for a two-year contract at $80,000 a| Season. . i “I am confident that my play will/ More than justify this contract.” * | Ruth was prompted to make a quick! settlement of the issue, not only by the advice of friends and what amounted to a “command” from Mrs. | Ruth, but also by a desire to avoid | the risk of injuring himself in exhibi-| tion games while unsigned. “Boy, that’s a relief,” the big fellow | ejaculated, as he puffed away at a; Pipe. “Now I can get down to busi- | hess without worrying.” i Not a Camera There There were no formalities to the| Zinal conference, no ceremonies, and not even @ camera. All this will be deserved for some time Monday when the papers will be spread out for sig- natures. Ruth came fully equipped today with a new gold fountain pen, the gift of a friend, but was not re- quired to use it on the spot. “What will you do with that $160,- 000,” Ruth was asked. “I'm going to put most. if not all of it, right in the old sock,” he re-| Plied. “I've got enough to get along on, anyway, and we will stick the old pay checks in that trust fund to keep the family in bread and butter when j I'm old and grayheaded.” | | | 19 Russian Railroad Executives Inspect G.
