By Henry L. Farrell United Press Staff Corresvondcnt NEW YORK, April 27.—Because he has connected only three times for four-base hits and is batting only about .273, New York is beginning to believe something is wrong with Babe Ruth. Speculation also has arisen over what Col. Jake Rupert, owner of the New York Yankees, is thinking about the wisdom of investing $210,000 in Ruth. When the Colonel took his Babe up to his brewery and signed him for three years at $70,000 per year, his baseball sagacity was questioned by some of the other magnates. They regarded it as bad policy to let an employe know he is sure of his job for more than one year. In the particular case of the Babe end the Yankees it was pointed out the Babe had one of his greatest years last season when he was under the threat of cither delivering as

a $52,000 a year laborer or taking a cut in salary on anew contract. The baseball acumen of Colonel Ruppert and his former partner, Colonel Houston, was questioned when they bought the Yankees years ago. At that time the property of the club included a lot of soiled uniforms and not so many players to fit into them. Then they paid SIOO,OOO or more for the Babe. The rest of the colonel's wisdom in buying the Babe and a lot of other ball players is shown up in the Bronx, whore a $3,000,000 stadium is standing and where carpenters are getting ready to build seats that will increase the capacity of the stands to 80,000 or 85,000. But, getting back to the Babe and his slim batting average—the Babe likes his base hits, and those who know him know he is fretting, but there is nothing wrong with him. You can take his word for it, arui the word of Charley Walsh, his business manager. "The Babe is just full of a spring cold,” Walsh said today. "He had a little indigestion before the first of the season and he should not have played, but he has his public to think of, and he played. He’ll be hitting soon.” JACK-GENE BALLYHOO Tex Arranges for Rivals to Meet at “Fawncy” Dinner. fill United Press NEW YORK, April 27.—Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney will meet in New York, May 16, Tex Rickard has announced —but they will be wearing dinner clothes, not fight togs.

Betrothed Pola Keeps Valentino*s Picture Bn United Press PARIS, April 27.—Titles are old stuff to Pola Negri, and only true romance could lure her into her prospective marriage to Prince Serge Mdivani, she told the United Press. “Remember, I was a countess years ago,” she said. “I am marrying because I can’t refuse my persistent wooer.” And why in Paris instead of Hollywood? Tush, tush, ask her a hard one. “Because Paris in springtime is made for lovers,” says the emotional actress. Pola displayed a silver locket containing Rudolph Valentino’s photograph. “Married or single, I will always keep his memory,” she said. RELIEVES INDIGESTION .-JFA .. .
