Therefore, when his present five- year half-million-dollar contract ex~- pires he will be out there on the fir- ing line fighting it out, or tossing it out, with the two Colonels who own the New York Yankees to see just what the next big salary boost will be. It will all depend upon how much money the battling Babe has drawn at the gate during the next five sea- sons and just how far he steers from the ire of Judge Landis. Babe de- clared to-day that hereafter he was The two Colonels future." THUGS GET $5,600 AND WHISKEY LOAD Brooklyn Hold-Up Yields Cash anc. Auto Filled With Booze. The police are searching for five robbers, three of them armed, who last evening held up three men at the entrance of a stable at No. 216 23d Street, South Brooklyn, and escaped with $5,650. The victims were Free- man T. Goldman, of No, 794 Nos- trand Avenue, who lost $5,400; Solo- mon Blumenstein, No. 722 Coney Isl- and Avenue, who lost $250, and the latter's brother, Joseph, of No. 1763 East 12th Street, who lost nothing. According to Detective Sergeants McGowan and Dwyer the victims say the thugs made off in an automobile in which twenty-five cases of whis- key, worth»$2,800, were hidden, They said, according to the detectives, that they received an order to bring the whiskey to the stable for a sale and that they were preparing to unload It when the thugs drew revolvers, held them up and then escaped with money and liquor, The uutomobile, which belonged to Goldman, was found later but there was no trace of the whiskey, i BIAS = Just before leaving for New Orleans to-day to join the main Yankee squad, Ruth consented for the first time to say eomething about his new status as the highest salaried man ever known to the national game, as well ‘as something about his prospects of the next few years. Ruth believes that he is just enter- Ing the domain of big accomol sh- ments. When his present extraor- @inary contract expires in 1926 he will be thirty-three years old. By that time he feels he will have established such a standardized output of home runs that he can keep it up in- definitely. If confidence is half the battle, Babe already has most of the American League pitchers headed for the showers and is on his way to making a mighty den tin the Yankee Colonels’ bankroll at the rate of $500 for every four-base clout. “Why man, I'm just beginning to fat,” he said to-day, unconsciously paraphrasing his great naval proto- type, John Paul Jones. “Guess I'll have a late start this year all right,” he continued with a grin, “so T won't put a number on che home runs, but I will make more than Jast year, and keep on making more,” Buoyant with youth, riding the top wave of popularity, confident that he has not neared the pinnacle of his career, the Babe nevertheless had « dark half-hour to-day. Some one brought up the subject of the Income tax and began to figure things out for the Bambino. “Business man” that he is, Babe needs a little help at “figgera” now and then. So his killjoy friend with the pencil veluctantly convinced Ruth that every i:me he knocks a home run in 1822 he will have to pay to his Uncle Sam something like $166.33. In other words, if the present rate of income 1ex keeps up, and the unhappy pros- pects are that it will, the United States Treasury will grab off just about one-third of every dollar that Mabe Ruth makes during the ffext tive years, “Guess Pl have to ‘bust’ out more of ‘em than I thought I would,"’ said the Babe scratching his head in an attempt at real deep thought. Babe Ruth was asked if he thought other ballplayers were worth salaries approximating his own. He evaded omparisons, but said: “A man ought to get what he can carn. Don't make any difference whether it's running a farm, running + bank or running a show, a man who knows he is making money for other people ought to get some of the profit he brings in.

Cossack, ever expert- enced, he stated when she docked to- day at her pier at the foot of West Lith Street. “We ran into a fog directly after leaving Liverpool on Feb. 28,"° sald Capt.

The gales con- tinued all the way to Halifax, and we also had plenty of wind coming down the coast.’ Chief Engineer Jim Rogers also paid his tribute to the storm, describ- ing it in one word: ‘‘Rotten!"’ The Saxonia picked up a radio from the steamship Ryndam on March 2, relating the plight of the Grontoft. Capt. Hossack said his ship was 600 miles from the Grontoft, and it was therefore hopeless for him to try to reach her. He kept his wireless man at work, however, sending out SO 8 messages until he heard at 6.30 P.M. from the Ryndam that the steamship Estonia had reached the position given and had found no trace of the Gron- The Demotselle wv A TWEED SUIT WITH THE NEW BELT LINE AND FLARING SLEEVE V-neck GB.
