This year I expect we wil be even more successful. BABE RUTH INTERESTS FRENCH AS A SALARY EARNER FINANCES, NOT HOMERS, ARE PRINCIPAL ATTRACTION PARIS, April 12.—The fame of the great Babe Ruth has at last crossed the ocean and French publi- cations haye recently been filled with the narrative of the supersing- ger’s exploits. He of the 59 home runs is not be- ing exalted in France for the num- ber of fences he has driven the ball over but the dent he has made in the bankroll of the club owners. “The swing of bis bat is terrible but the swish of his pen is deadlier,” says the staid Avenir, referring to the signing of the reported “$500,000 for Five Years’ Contract.” “Tho virtuoso of the homerun is also an ace in the business end of it," the Paris Midi comments. “Five hundred dollars each time for hitting a baseball half as far as I could hit a golf ball,” laments an anonymous writer in the Paris Sport. “Besides the money which he gath- ers from baseball, ‘le gros Bebe Ruth’ also earns enough on the stage to keep several families fn afflu- ence,” says Comoedia, a theatrical paper. Babe Ruth might have gone on forever knocking the covers off base- balls, doffing his cap in a bored way each time he reached the home plate after a circuit trip of the diamond, yet he would have never been heard of in France, had he not signed for the reported sum of $100,000 a year. EIGHT COUNTRIES IN CHESS TOURNEY.

Douglas or Nehf were the pitchers considered as most likely to face the barrier for the Giants while “Dutch” Ruether, whose work had shown re- markable form, was looked on as the hurler for Brooklyn. New York was without the service ot Frisch, second baseman who wes sent home from the south with an in- fection, but his place was taken by Rawlings, who played a star game in the world's series last fall. Brooklyn presented her strongest lineup. High the New Dodger shortstop and PD. er- ® catcher new to the Brooktya uniform were the strange faces in the outfit commanded by ‘Wilbert Robinson. ‘The Yankees were in Washington to open the American league senson. Babe Ruth went to the cavitol city with his teammates, but had no hope of getting into the game as the sen- tence of suspension passe on him by Judge Landis was holding firmly. Boston and Philadelphia also were ready for today’s opening. The Na- tional league season was to be initi- ated in the Quaker City by the Braves, while Connie Mack’s Athletics were in Boston to meet the Red Sox. Neither manager of the two nmjor teague pennant winners of 1921 was predicting this year that his team will land in front but each foresees close and hard-fought races. John J. McGraw, pilot of the Giants, world’s ehampions, believed hig combination was a better one than last year's aggregation but he said the “breaks” would determine the outcome. T never predict where my tevn is going to finish at the end of the season, said McGraw. “Im too lor in the business for that. But we'll be right in the fight from the start and the fans can look forward to a lot of good baseball at the Polo grounds this season. . “T figure that the same four teams in the lead last season, New York, St. ‘Louis, Pittsburgh -and Boston, have a chance for the pennant and that the race will be just as interest- ing as a year ago.” Miller Huggins, manager of the Yankees, champions of the American Jeague, admitted that he five weeks’ loss 6f Ruth and Meusel at the start of the season would furnish a big handicap. With these two sluggers in the lineup the team would be a stronger one than last year, as Ev- erett Scott, the Shortstop obtained from Boston, had rounded {t out, he thought. The Yankees’ crucial per- fod, Huggins believed, would be the first five weeks. “Tt will be important,” he id, “how the club plays during that period. If it keeps fairly well up in the race our chances should improve after May 20. If not, we will have a tough fight to make up the ground lost. ‘The Yankees have been train- ing hard. ‘The pitchers still are a bit backward and the team is not hit- ting as well as it can, but it ss only | CIGARETTES of Turkish and Domestic tobaccos—blegded ‘tute for Fourier, Jack Smith will play ® question of time before we get| week ago to play with the same team started. but that he has asked for his release “I lock for another close race injand has repotred to the Los Angeles the American league, Cleveland, St.|club of the Pacific coast league.
