Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

YORK, Aug. 21.—They ’ tell me the boys who like to take their cut at the ball are going to be compelled to take a cut next winter that they won't like at all. I mean a cut in dough. The baseball magnates have been moaning the red-ink blues for some time about rising pay rolls, and now they are ready to start slashing. 000 The run awav races in the two big leagues along with the general economic slump have contributed seriously to the situation. You can’t make money when there Is no competition and there has scarcely been anv competition In either league since the season started. It was pretty much of a foregone conclusion that the Athletics and the Cardinals would dominate the scene, and this they have proceeded to do. 000 It will be Interesting to see what happens to the pay check of George Herman Ruth, whose two-year contract at 380.000 a year expires In October. The home run era on which Ruth rode to magnificent heights definitely Is fading. The new ball has put the pop flv slugger back in his place among the ordinary swingers. A conspicuous example Is Hack Wilson of the Cubs, home run king of the National League a year ago. but now Just another outfielder. Os course. Ruth was never a pop flv ulugger. He would still be a tremendous slugger batting against a boiled egg plant. There will always be something majestic about the wav Ruth crashes into a fast pitch. But the stage setting of the game has changed and much of the glamour has passed from the sheer muscular exploit of which Ruth has long been the high priest. 000 THE Yankees have been issuing Ruth stylish pay checks commensurate with his prodigious hitting feats, a sound business policy, because it was Ruth and his swats that lured the customers through the turnstiles in numbers never before equaled in the history of the game. Now that the trend of the sport has turned and Ruth himself has begun to crumble and money conditions are tighter, he becomes a grave financial problem. To be sure this is Colonel Jacob Ruppert’s problem and not mine but even so. Ruth is something of a public institution and as such It may not be impertinent to evince a personal interest in his future. In short, the question is, does the king of swat suffer a cut along with the rabble of the game? My guess Is that he won’t, and if I may be permitted to run the colonel’s affairs for him, I will add that he Shouldn't. At SBO,OOO. Ruth Is still a cheap investment, even if he does no more than waddle to the plate and swing at a few balls now and then. For more than a decade he has been the most extraordinary personality the game has ever known. In any other amusement field, Ruth would have tripled his earnings for he would have been able to capitalize his appeal in every city in which he appeared instead of merely as an employe of the Yankee ball club. In each of the seven other cities in the circuit, Ruth has created new' attendance records. 000 AT his present age and in the circumstances which now exist, Ruth hardly can expect a better contract. But there is no reason why he should accept a lesser one. When the time comes to re-sign him for 1932. the Colonel can justify anv misgivings that may arise in the money temples by saying, "Well, we don’t want to forget that It was Ruth who built the Stadium.” And don’t let anybody tell you it was One-Eyed Connolly, the Smith Brothers or two traveling salesmen from Elmira.

Ball Park Ring Program Postponed Until Tonight

West Side Prep Gridmen Start W ork on City Field

BY DICK MILLER Believe it or not, there was football being practiced in earnest by a local prep team here this week.

During the next week three more local prep squads will swing into action either loyally or at football camps by the northern Indiana lakesides, preparing for early games.

A corporal met me at the door and asked me what did I want. “Lemme see the boss man,” I asked him. * Some guy wih a lot of medals and gold braid comes out. Anyway, he asks me my age and I said 20. I was pretty big for my age and he fell for it. So at 16 years of age I was on my way to see the world from the front steps of a barracks at Ft. Sam Houston.

But it was pretty hard for a soldier pitcher, no matter how good he was, to crash the sports pages and a guy needs that old publicity to get him by. “What do you figure on doing now, Jerome,” says dad, after I had my honorable discharge tucked away in my pants pocket. “Oh, I guess something will turn up that will keep me going until I get into the big leagues,” I told him. That big idea of the major leagues kept me going all the time. But the funny part of it was no one knew much about me outside of a few folks in San Antonio.
