Ruth's main problem, as the train- ing season nears, is that of control- - not of his circuit smashes, but of his sotmach. His waistline weighs heav-I ily on his mind as well as on his troso. Ruth, with the waistline and waist- line problem always before him, has been active this winter around his farm at Sudhury, Mass. The emperor of swat has been wield- ing the ax with the fervor of a form- er kaiser the past wintry days. But wood chopping cultivates an appetite, and Babe likes to eat. Aside from the excessive avoirdupois beneath his, vest, however, Buth ap- pears in good shape. The winter in the open regular exercise, eating (al-, beit too much) and plenty of sleep have put him in trim. For this reas- on he expects little difficulty in pull-! ing several inches off his girth. Not a New Contract When it was announced recently at Yankee headquarters that Ruth's con- tract has three more years to run the impression bobbed up that he had re- ceived and signed a new contract.# Such was not the caes. To clear up the tanele of rumors the Yankee boss- tract sum. It seems that the smaller amount is a bonus of $10,000 extend- ed over a five-year period. When Babe .was originally offered the contract it called for a yearly check of $50,000. Babe asked $10,000 for signing. Col. Til Huston objected to the bonus idea. He finally offered to shake the. dice with Babe to see whetelir the bonus should be paid. Babe won the shak e and Huston lived up to hia word, but arranged to pay it in yearly instal- ments.
