BABE RUTH DROPS 72,500 BUCKS
PL A YING THE PONIES AND MOVIES,
BUT HE STILL CAN PL A Y BALL
AMOINO HCTII, tl.o world's champion fence buster
Wi V? m V15s.nt Trson' 1Ic ht,Ms man? fwrJi m tho

ord recently nnd i sntisfird. Up ln, 1Hd ciionSb.
The. Unhr. lifter the bn.ebn!l season ended, decided
to become n llnnueier He delved deeply into the renlmi
or flnanco nnd emerge.! n nil neoplijtes emcrpe. He wns
badly stung nnd now stands out ns tbc sont, the linnnrlal
...ugiim ui uu imsmaii.
iur. jtuiii, ncronlinK to lotnn renl, reKulnr. Inside
dope, has been sepnrnted from 72,:i00. which wns the
nize of tho bankroll. He wus walloped unmerciful! while
in Cuba and after playing the party of the second part,
loft the Island hurriedlj. He wanted to c.-t bnrk to the
dear U. H. A. vvherf there are only hold-up men. 5nf
blowers nnd porch climbers to be annoyed with. Alio, he
wished to (ret back before It became nece.xsurv to mn im and
urapo himself in a barrel after Inndln?.
Soon after arriving in t'ubn where he was the bije
noise and principal attraction nt tnatineos uhere he re
ceived $1000 per mntlnee. Ituth started out to see the
numerous attractions In Iluvunn He met tnnn p-ople
and was banded n lot of clever unci very wise conversation.
A fluent orator discovered n ivitoui to bent the raees ami
Babe BR-eed with him. All he had to do wns plel.
winners and his fortune un made
Ituth took the rubber band off the bankroll nnd sot
busy. He wagered with n lavish hand aud his steeds never
could run according to form. They were so tough that
tho other horses in the race were frightened nnd ran awav
from them. Somo of tho Ruth favorites still arc running
nnd others nrc In the far off distance.
It took but n short time to sting the Itabe for $35,000.
bnt that wasn't all It was just the finale. IJefore the
Havana disaster the noted slam-bang artist hnd an
adventure m the moing-p eturo l'uld. He finsihed sec
ond. Miller Huggins furnished the information a short
time ago.
"I'm sorry for Babe."' sas Hug. "His troubles
come in bunches. Very few people know that lie was
nocked for ?37.fi00 in the picture game yes. that's the
xact figure. The whole works collapsed and the dough
went flooie. IJabo, however, didn't care a hoot, tie
didn't niako a holler and I doubt if be ever gives it a
second thought."
IT doesn't take Inn;; to separate a gent from tht bank-
roll. Experts ran Jo 1 painlessly. S'o icondcr the
slugger demands a big salaiy.
Why Im Hockey Is Popular Here
ANY sport that requires the maximum of endurance,
skill and courage makes n populnr appeal. Football.
baseball, tennis, basketball nnd other athletic branches
combine everything that goes to make it interesting for
the competitor and entertaining for the spectator. The
sport that succeeds must have two appeals first to the
athlete and secondly to the one that supports that spurt
the follower.
The latest winter indoor sport that has come to this
city Is ice hockey. And make no mistake this sport is
here to stay. It takes just as much courage, .skill, en
durance, speed nnd science to pb? this game as any in
the sporting reportoir.
Ice hockey is football on ice skates Skating in it
self is an art To guide 11 little rubber disc down the ice
with nn arm of club wielders waiting for mi. elude these
guardians nnd successfully shoot the puck through the
goal tender for a point is nn art. Iu footba.11 the lust
ten yards always is the hnrdest and in lee hockey that ti tin I
Ave yards the real effort is what counts or does not
count.
Every sport has its celebrity. Baseball has its Itabe
Ruth, football its Jim Thorpe, tennis its Tilden, the turf
its Man O'War. golf in Chick I'vans. rowing its Jack

Kelly and ico bockoy well thcro is only one American,
nnd he was a l'hiladelphlan who stands out the late
I lobe j Baker.
Hockey has been the national sport in anndn for
ninny jears. Naturally tbc game is much further ad
vanced there than hero. But it remained for Hobey
Baker to bo developed nnd to place this couiitrj on the
ice hockey map. Baker made his reputation while skating
under tho colors of the St. Nicholas team. Baker, how
ever, learned to skate on tho ponds around Cynwyd, de
veloped his hockey skill nt St. Paul's School, the cradlo of
ice hockey in America, nnd made his national rcpututloli
while representing 1'rlnceton I'nlverslty nnd the St.
Nicholas Club.
TpAKKll has gone but tome new ice hockey stars have
ti begun to shinr. and one of the most brilliant 111 the
Kait riijht now is Eddie Hill, former Cornell hnllbaeli.
cr-tcammatc of Hobey linker at St. Xicholas ami the
present captain 0 fe Quaker City team.
Play Modern Hockey
lie
XI associated in business with Thornton Baker, brother
of the late Hobey. Hcnrinucs, another member of the
Quaker City team, is a member of the B.iker firm in
Mannvunk.
Philadelphia will be well represented in ice hockey
this j car. Quaker City has not lost n cum' thi nenon.
despite the fact that it has been weakened in every game.
First it lost Werner Schnanr. the seventeen-year-old
Brvn Athyn star, who wan stopped by the Bryn Athyn
otu'clals. Next P. W. Wannmaker. the former Dart
mouth captain, was forced out of tho line-up and to tho
t'niverslty Hospital with nn injured nrm.
Quaker City plays modern hockey. This is due to
the fnct that it hns n. real coach in Stephen A. Dion,
former captain of the Winncpeg Victorias, one of the
greatest amateur teams ever developed in Canada. The
combination of Dion and Hill is producing.
Hddic Hill is a real star. It was his nggressive work
that twice defeated the strong St. Nicholas team nt the
Ice Palace this yenr. Last Thursday night he came
through with the gonl thnt tied the scorn, mnking a
difficult shot from the side of the rink. Uitor he carried
the disc down tho Ice through n broken field nnd completed
his work by passing the puck to Crawford for the winning
Miot.
lllT-h is the man around vham the play ii built. It
tens a lirickley, then a Slahan. then a Casey icho
'ims the combination man that made Harvard a potcer
m football. In ice hockey it i nrrciary fo have the
same star for a feint. And Fddie Hill is the man.
Canadian Team Here !Sext Week
TI1K Canadian intercollegiate ice hockey champions,
Toronto University, will make their debut here on
Monday night when they meet the Quaker City team in
the fir.t of a two-game eries nt the Ice Pnlnce. In the
event of nn even break, a third game will be plajed on
Wednesday night.
This team has been playing In Cleveland and Pitts-
