Signing on the Dotted
Lino
ttASEBALL players owe Babe Ruth an eternal debt
of gratitude. He was responsible more than aayone
for the present high salaries paid to the stars of the
diamond.
The Bambino's annual holdout capers were the top
off-season baseball stories and often his stubbornness
about signing carried right up to the close of spring
training.
One sprint he signed a contract under the stands at
St. Petersburg, Fla. Though the document called for
$50,000 Kuth signed without reading it.
In his IS years with the Yankees Ruth blasted 659
regular season homers, an average of 44 a season. His
home runs biased a trail across every sports page in
the country, - -

one in the second inning and the
other in the ninth.
Doing the catching chores for
Beaufort was Leroy Mcintosh.
Red Davis started for Harkers
Island-Straits, but had to be re
lieved by Lester Davis in Beau
fort's big nine-run fifth frame.
Gaskill again handled the backstop
duties.
Beaufort opened the scoring
with a run in the initial stanza.
Hester reached first on the second
baseman's, miscuc and then pilfer
ed both second and third bases. A
fly to left by Jack Wallace en
abled Hester to score.
Another tally in the third made
the score 2-0 in Beaufort's favor.
This was done on Wallace's Ion?
two-bagger and another error by
the second baseman, Lester Davis.
Beaufort then shook the crowd
awake in the fifth inning after
they had threatened to fall asleep
at the previously, dull ball game.
With one out, Wallace tripled and
came in on a passed ball.
Butler singled, took second on
the third baseman's error, and
stole third. After Benton walked
and stole second, Boyd cleared the
bases with a long home run to
right center, making the score 6-0
and signaling the exit of the Hark
ers Island starting pitcher;
Tracy Hopper reached second
on a'twiMase error by the third
baseman and made third on an in
field hit. Solid singles by Mcin
tosh and Sharpe brought in one
run and put runners on first and
third when the right fielder jug
gled Sharpe's base hit to allow
Mcintosh to score and Sharpe to
reach the keystone sack.
Following Gray flassell's walk,
Wallace singled in Sharpe and
moved Hassell to third, Wallace
taking second on the throw-in. A
triple by Butler was the final blow
in the madhouse, scoring both run
ners with the eighth and ninth
runs of the inning.
One more run in the next inn
ing finished Beaufort's scoring
for the afternoon. Boyd singled,
stole second and third, and came
home when the catcher, in at
tempting to stoy Boyd at third,
threw the ball into the outfield.

During 1925 Ruth's one poor year in baseball though
he batted .290 and hit 25 homers he became the most
oelebrated hospital ase of nil time. He came up with
influenza which limited him to loss than 109 games for
the only time during his peak years. Hut it was his
recurrent "stomach aches that really made him a
famous hospital case. Practically every kid in the coun
try was rooting for his return to action.
He came back at 32 the following year with 47 homers
and a .-872 batting average and followed this with his
record 60 homers in 1927 and 54 in 1928.
Five weeks before the 1930 .season opened he signed
a two-year contract for $80,000-a-year. He rented two
homes in St. Petersburg, one fur himself and one for
Lefty Gomez, the quick-witted Yankee pitcher whose
company Ruth enjoyed.
