S50000 OFFER DUE FORCUT, RUTHTOLD Must Sign by March 29 or Take Less Is Ruppert’s Ultimatum to Babe. By the Associated Press. T. PETERSBURG, Fla.,, March 18. Col. Jacob Ruppert, owner of the New York Yankeos, flatly de- | clined to raise tI~ ente for Babe Ruth today. He told the slugger he would not receive as much as now of- fered if he failed to sign a contract by March 29, when the team will break | camp. Ruth and Col. Ruppert conferred for 15 minutes and emerged from their| conference apparently no closer to an agreement than they were before. Ruth demanded $55,000 for his work in 1933, | while Col. Ruppert countered with $50, 000. Ruth declared he would not sign | for the lower figure and Col. Ruppert said it wouldn't be increased. HEN the Yankees' owner delivered his surprising ultimatum. He sald Ruth would not be taken North | with the club on March 29 unless he had come to terms. He declared that the home run slugger's value to the club lessened each day he remained a holdout and that a reduction in the $50,000 offer would be justifiable under such circumstances. Ruth apparently entered the confer- ence convinced that his offer to sign | at $55.000 would quickly be accepted. He had demanded $60,000 when he first 000 cut in the $75,000 salary he was paid last year. “I want to stress at this time,” Col. Ruppert told newspaper men at the | conclusion of the conference, “in view uf the protracted nature of these ne- | | gotiations, that Ruth and myself are| on the friendliest terms. There is no hard feeling between us over this sit- uation, which is simply a difference in opinion between two men on a business proposition.” GOLF PRO IN NEW JOB.

W ORLEANS, March 18.— Three former Nationals today | played against their old club | and one—Roy Spencer—did the Cro- | nin crew no good. In addition to catching in great style through the last five innings of the fray, Spencer helped himself | to two singles and a game—tieing Homer in his three turns at the plate. One of his singles was very scratchy, but it helped the Tribe to a run, nevertheless. Harley Boss, who went to the Tribe in the trade for Jack Russell and Bruce Connatser during the Winter, gave a good account of him- self at first base for three frames, but failed to drive the ball to safety in his lone trip to the plate. Charlie Jamieson, who was with the Na- tionals before the World War, took over left field for two innings. The veteran is trying & come-back with the Tribe. | 'Braves Like Three Recruits Wright and Gyselman, Infielders, and Hunt, an i Outfielder, Likely to Make Grade.

EW ORLEANS, March 18.—Only six more days at Biloxi for the Nationals, but theyll be busy ones. With three games to play, plenty of batting drills and schooling | afield, Manager Joe Cronin's proteges | will have few idle moments at Camp Griff. The remaining games for Biloxi Park | are with the Atlanta club of the South- | ern Association and the Cleveland club, great rivals in the American League. The minor leaguers are to be met for the fourth time in this conditioning campaign on | Wednesday, while the tussles with the Indians are listed for Friday and Satur- | day to wind up aciivities at the train- | ing base.

The boy boss | of the Washington club is bound to have his charges primed to be slickers on defense when the bell rings for the champlonsmp campalgn N game days, there will be forenoon drills for those not picked for later toil in the formal clashes. Before the Nationals close their Biloxi camp some squad-paring probably will be done. Although Clark Griffith has until May 15 to cut down his crew to 23, the maximum permitted under the American League player-limit rule adopted last year, it is most likely he will leave not more than 24 in the lot to be turned over to Manager Cronin for the start of the season. ‘That means three will be lopped from the squad shortly. Of course, Johnny Burrows, the kid pitcher from Phoenix, Ariz,, will be shipped. Griffith now is casting about for a suitable berth for the southpaw, for Johnny is a prom- ising_youngster. When he goes from the Nationals it will be with a taut string on him. T LOOKS as though Bob Priedrichs, the bespectacled righthander who was pulled back from the farm at Youngstown of the Central League, also will be sent away shortly. A sore arm has kept the former Holy Cross star from showing his wares to advant &t Camp Griff, but those in charge of the Nationals still think Bob has something worth while in a pitching way, Chat- tanooga may land him. Cecil Travis, the 19-year-old infielder brought in from the Lookouts, bly will be sent away by Griff before the Nationals get back to Washington next month if not in the last week at camp.

He is Clif Bolton, a stockily built, stoical fellow of whom it was sald, a year back, he never could make ‘the major grade because—well, because he couldn’t throw, was a slow thinker, and staggered under foul flies.

Mangin stands far down s has proven the Newark 4| Youngster’s master, but indoors the sit- uation is exactly reversed. As long as Mangin today stuck to his own game, which takes on a mystic and unexplainable severity indoors, the for- mer intercollegiate champion from Tu- lane, despite his beautifully rounded play and perfect control, was at the champion’s mercy. ELTING away with terrific power through the first two sets, Mangin allowed Sutter only four games as he met guide with force. He drove the Southerner to the back court, and came up to the net to smash everything that came his way for kills or placement drives, either fore-hand or back-han that whistled right past the challenger. Sutter couldn’t approximate Mangin’s battering thrusts, but he has a discon- certing faculty for making the other fellow play his own style of game. Yes- terday in qualifying for the finals, the easy-going Sutter turned the cannonad- ing Frank Shields into a painstaking rival who forgot all about speed and sought only to match Sutter’s accuracy 1n a battle of wits as well as strokes. a result, Shields, finalist against Mangln last year, found himself on the sidelines today.

ONLY AN A-1 ROOKIE CAN CRASH LINE-UP Richmond or Yerkes May Do as Lefty Decreed Need of Any Flag Winner. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. VALON, Catalina Island, March 18.—When you've got an outfit that romped away with the pennant the | year before, and virtually the en- | tire cast back again, there's no | particular reason for sitting down |and worrying over future pros- pects. * That's the position Manager Charley Grimm of the Chicago Cubs finds him- self in this Spring. so about all he has to fret about is whether he can reach into his scanty grab bag of youngste and come up with a southpaw pitcher who will stand major league wear and tear. The Cubs released their only experi- enced southpaw hurler, Jakie May, dur- ing the Winter, and there is some sort of an cld axiom of base bzll that no club can go on to bigger and better things without one capable pitcher who throws from the off side. For that reason Manager Grimm has brought five recruit moundsmen to the | Catalina camp this year, and three of them are southpaws. If one should click in appropriate fashion the Cubs will be a lot better off than they seem to be just now. If one of them doesn't click Bill Veeck will have to go forth and beg. borrow or steal a major league scuthpaw some place. And that's & rather large order now or at any other | time. HE Cubs are said to have tried to get Wild Bill Hallahan or one or two other let handers during the Winter and couldn't co it, despite the | fact that they were willing to pay the | Wrigley price, which always has been liberal. So Grimm is going to trust to luck— |and his three fork-fisted youngsters. | Only two of them are given serious con- nderalmn They are Beryl Richmond, | who won 12 and lost 14 games witk | Baltimore last season, and Carroll | Yerkes, who won 10 and lost 17 with Albany, N. Y. The third one is Roy | Hen: who was plucked from the | campus of the University of Chicago. | He is a midget as pitchers go, being | only five fcet cight inches tall and | weighing 150 pouncs. He had a great | record in college. however, and seems to have a lot of stuff that confuses hitters. | But he probably will need minor league | schooling before he's ready for the higher strata of base ball. There are really four other recruit hurlers out here striving for jobs, if you want to call Leroy Herrmann and Lyle Tinning recruits. They are young- Isll‘rs but aren't really recruits in the strict serse of the word, as they were | with the Cubs last season. Tinning, especially, shows a great deal of prom- ise and stepped into the midst of the Cubs’ late drive for the pennant last Fali to hurl some excellent base ball. There's a sort of secret hope he's going to turn out to be another Lon Warneke. HE other young hurlers are Lynn Nelson, who was in camp last Spring and was sent to Seattle for further seasoning. and Buck New- som, who came from Albany along with Southpaw Yerkes. Both Nelson and Newsom are right handers. The latter got a late start in showing what, if an:thing, he can do in the way of big league hurling, because he had no | sooner stepped off the bcat from the | mairland than they carted him away to the hospital to whittle ofi some soft corns on his toes that were exceedingly | sore | . Breaking in on the Cubs as a pitcher, however, is going to be ore of the !oughest of all jobs, when you consider thnt Grimm still has such old tried end true standbys as Werncke, Guy Bush Charley Root, Pat Malone and Burleigh 4Grlmsfl If any of the youngsters can make the riffle in the face of a layout 11\1(: that it’s pretty certain theyll be considerable pitchers. ‘The Cubs have four catchers on tnp this Spring. The holdovers are Gabby | Hartnett and Zach Taylor, and the newcomers Campbell, who prepped with Los Angeles last season nd Gabby's young brother, John Hart- nett, who was brought along on Gabby's | word that the kid is due to be a whalc \or a backstop. Believing the trait ma a family one, lake a chance. So John is here. OWEVER, if anybody beats Gabby out as the regular receiver it's likely to be young Campbell. Over in Los Ajgeles thcse who watched him last year say Campbell is a bang-up catcher and ready for the majors. He's a hitter, too, having had an average of .319 in the Coast League last season. ‘There are only two young fellows striving to oust somebody from the in- field. They are Del Young from Fort Wayne, and Harry Taylor, a first base- man from Albany. The latter is likely to hang arourd as Grimm's understudy. But if Young expects to beat Woody English, Bill Jurges or Billy Herman out of their infield jobs hell have to show a world of stuff. ‘The same situation confronts the outfield recruits. Vince Barton is back again, and so are Frank Demaree, Mike Kreevich and Marvin Gudat. At least two of them probably will stick ac utility men, but the regular outfield is pretty certain to be Riggs Stephenscn. Kiki Cuyler and the newly acquired Babe Herman.
