OF HIS PLANS FOR
YEARS 10 COME
Bambino Declares Confidently
He Is Good for Ten
k Years More.
UUST BEGUN, HE SAYS
f King of Swat Will Again Break
Record Despite Suspen
sion, He Promises.
HOT SPniNGS, Ark., March 9
(Copyright. 1922). OcorBO Herman
Kuth, High Priest of Swat, docs not
consider that an Income surpasslnB
that of the President of the United
States by any means represents the
ultlmato worth of a real baseball star.
Therefore, when his present flvo
Voar half-mllllon-dollar contract ex
pires ho wilt bo out thoro on the fir
ing line fl&htlng It out, or tossing it
out, with the two Colonels who own
tho New York Yankees to seo 'Just
i what tho next big salary boost will be.
It will all depend upon how much
: money tho battling Babe has drawn
"tit tho gato during tho next five sea
sons and Just how far he, steers from
tho iro of Judge Landls. Babo de
clared to-day that hereafter ho was
"a business man." Tho two Colonels
agreed with him.
Just before leaving for Now Orleans
(o-day to Join the main Yankee squad,
Ruth consented for tho first time to
say omethlng about his new status
as the highest salaried man ever
known to tho national gamo, as well
as something about his prospects of
the noxt few years.
Ituth believes that he Is Just enter
ing the domain of l)lg accomol sh
menta. When his present extraor
dinary contract expires In 1926 ho will
bo thirty-three years old. By that
time he feels ho -will havo established
such a stnndardlied 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
n mighty den tin tho Yankee Colonels'
bankroll atho rato of $500 for every
fnur-THLSO clout.
"Why man, I'm Just beginning to
bat," he said to-day, unconsciously
varaphraslng his greot navai proio
tvnn. John Paul Jones.
Quess ril have a lato start this
year all right," ho continued with a
crln, "so I won't put a number on
ihe home runs, but I will mako more
!mn Jast year, and keep on making
more."
Buoyant -with youth, riding the top
wave of ipopularlty, confident that he
lias not ncarcd tho pinnacle of his
career, tho Babo nevertheless had n
lark half-hour to-day. Somo one
brought up tho subject of the Income
lax and began to figure thligs out
for the Bambino. "Business man'
that he li, Babo needs a little help at
"flggers" now and then.
So his killjoy friend with the pencil
i ctuctantly convinced Ruth that every
tunc ho knocks a homo run In 1921!
he will havo to pay to his Undo Ham
something like $166.33. In other
Words, If the present rate of tncomo
lex keeps up, and the unhappy pros
lxicts are that It will, the United
States Treasury will grab off JuBt
nlcmt one-third of every dollar that
Itabo Ruth makes during the rfcxt
live years.
"Guess Til havo to 'bust' out more
of 'cm than I thought I would," said
(ho Babe scratching his head in an
tiltemnt at real Uocd thouitht.
Babe Ruth was asked If he thotight
other ballplayers were worth salaries
Hiiproxlmatlng his own. Ho evaded
comparisons, but Raid:
"A man ought to get whnt he can
en in. Don't mako any difference
whether It's running n farm, running
it bank or running a show, u man
who knows he Is making money for
other people ought to get some of the
profit he brings In. it's business, I
tell you; there nin't no sentiment to
It. Forget that stuff."
"What are you going to do with
all your money?" Babe was asked.
"I've got five big years of baseball
ahead of me now, and I guess I'll
have five moro after that. Whrt'a
the use o going further along than
that? I haven't ever thought of quit-
ling tho game. I feel as If I was Just
ntnrtlng In to begin. Course, bam
mil is different from anything elx?.
Look at those birds sitting across the
lobby. They urc business men, gal
ling 'fit' for tho season, too. Mm
iney arc mluuie-ugcu and giay nn.l n
What you birds call the prime of life.
I'll bo thirty-three when my new con
tract ends, and a lot of people nro
reading mo out of the cumo nlrrndy.
I'm going to 1x3 n business man, loo,
In baseball. Kxpcrlcnco helps you u
lot In this game. Just as In any
other."
Rutli has a reason for saying that.
Ho Is Interested In tho scientific side
of sport nnd has been studying omo
slow-action moving pictures nf his
gulf awing tho last few days. They
havo shown his entire body In ac
tion during tho stroke. Ruth's swing
s not a perfect one, from tho pro
fessional golfer's point of view. The
camera shows him upon both toes
ns ho hits tho ball. That Is "bad golf
form" but It tells something of tho
lilducn power behind tho fcat the
batter wields.
Col. "Til" Huston, who has been
litre with Ruth ever since the con
truct was signed and who accom
panied the Hot Springs squad of
Yunkecs to Now Orleans to-day,
beamed with satisfaction nt the condi
tion of his diamond Ktnr. Col. Huston
is a man of conKldcrabln girth.
"Why, lost year Ruth wiih us big
as I nm, und look nt him now," said
tin Colonel. "Ho has sot tied Into a
hard working chap. He's got tho
ambition und tho ability, nnd thoro Is
no telling what he will do In the
future."
