With the promised storm clouds pass- ing out of sight on the far horizon, the United States Golf Association will conduct its annual meeting to-night at the Waldorf-Astoria under more fav- orable auspices than was thought pos- sible some weeks ago. So far as is known the threatened revolt of the Western contingent is to be allowed to go by default. It 1s’ un- derstood that the West has been paci- fied and that mutual concessions have overcome the difficulties that stood in the way of a peaceful meeting. All sections of the country will be represented at the conclave out of which the nature of the agreement said to have been reached between the U. 8. G.

Every | official and member of the Board of Governors will be present to take up| the matter of any new legislation that may be deemed necessary. | It is hardly anticipated, however, that | any radical departure from the inter- national code agreed unon by the U. 8.

By Thornton Fisher) World’s Greatest Hitter Playing Basketball Now Because He Reported That He Dropped a Fortune Trying to Pick Winners in Cuba. By Alex. Sullivan, 3 Babe Ruth, the greatest slugger ] in the history of baseball, whose world's record of fifty-four home runs, achieved last year, puts him in @ class by himself as a long dis- tance hitter—broke? Babe earned a princely -salary covering the outfield for the Yanks, and then he added thousands of dol- lars to his bank account by playing| on semi-professional teams at the) close of the regular season, He was} the hero of a movie and then went) to Cuba where he was paid some-| thing like $1,000 a game, Probably a hundred thousand dol- lars was the amount that Babe, once @ poor orphan, earned out of the diamond pastime during 1920, yet the story is going the rounds now that Babe is broke, or at least that the bulk of his earnings has been wiped | |out. | ‘That he is playing basketball now,| which nets him only @ shoestring | |compared with the money he Cas d| manded at baseball, is given as one of the reasons that he is trying to build up bis lost fortunes. Other-| wise, why shotld he take up the} | court sport—a sport which he| at. upon his debut in this city. Babe, always 4 student of athlet- ies, is now being coached in the fine points of the net game, in order that ‘he won't appear so ridiculous on | the floor as he did at the 71st Regi- ment. He had to be taken out of the | game. | | It seems that Babe, when he fin- lished his contract with the Cuban baseball people, thought he'd try his luck at picking winners on the race track. His eyesight at this sort of thing was nothing like it is when he stands up at the plate and hits all sorts of wickedly breaking curves, \drops and shoots for circuit clouts. | It is reported that he Tost at least | $38,000 and it may be that he made lother bad investments so that now {he is forced to try his hand at bac- | ketball.

Easy comes, easy goes, 90 It appears Fans the country over are wth Robe, or are with him at least while | he is able to smash out these terrific drives that meana a run or runs for |his team, but the time {s coming when his eyed will no longer accur-\; ately gauge the offerings of opposing | pitchers, and then his fame will dwindle. Then what? Will he de in- dependent for life as he should be, owing to his wonderful popularity and earning capacity, or will be be broke and have tc return to some sort of manval labor where he will have a hard job making in a year what he was paid for a game or two last fall? ‘That's the way it has been with numerous great fighters who eatned fortunes for a few minutes’ work; so it hag been with other great baseba players of bygone years, They could not stand sudden wealth. ‘The fans are all hoping that the BAN RACES showed himself to be far from a star | dela DENPS / Needs Money o—— and that he will hold on to his mone; and be independent when he is nv longer useful as a big league star and is forced into oblivion. |.
