The details were duly spread acros the sport page; of the local papers. The Yankees were booked to play the White Sox in a doubleâ€"header the folâ€" lowing Sunday We had to cance} 17,000 Jickets," Harry Grabiner, the White Sox secretary told me. And, to my knowledge, the Babe was thef first and only ball player to demand. and get a piece of the spring training swag. It was cither 10 per cent or| 25 per cent. . ."Pay me or I don‘t “ra-f vel with the club," he informed Eq | Barrow of the Yankees‘ front office. Ing words to that effect. Barrow paid | Ruppert Realized Babe‘s Lure _ | The winter the Babe was hclding out for $80,000 or as much as he could get I wrote an open l6 ter to Jake Rupâ€" pert, owner of the Yankees. Fearlessâ€" ly and with utter disregard of conseâ€" aquences, I insisted that the Babe had been shockingly exploited at coolie wages for years, and the time had ar-l rived for a just and decent appraisal‘ of his rare talents, I named $100,000 It is no myth that it was his tremenâ€" dous drawing power that inspired the building of the Stadium. All over the circuit he broke every at‘endance recorg@ . . .And then came back and broke them again and . One nf Judge Emil Fuchs, who, as owner of the Boston Braves, ‘frisked the Babe‘s A. L. reputation of what small change was left, managed to get his name in the mass eulogies by stating that if he were alive and playing he‘d command $175,000 ‘oday Certainly, he would. When you con~ider that the contemporary dollar is searcely worth 50 cents, the PBabs was practically making that back in ‘30â€"‘31 the years his pay checks callod for $80,000. _ Even at that rate, and in ‘hose hardâ€"dollar days. the Babe was underpaid. _ Consider these facts: It i; no myxyth that it ura«s Along wi‘h his artistic progress he beâ€" came an economic barometer. _ A sort of big board in himself. Salaries went upor down in proportion to the numâ€" ber of "cousins‘"‘ the Babe developed throughout a given season. At his peak he drew $80.000. It is no mere coingidence that during this twoâ€"year period the bare pay in ‘he big leagues reached an allâ€"time high. The ballplayers, I wonder if they realize how much they owe the Babe? Those small, petty grasping, grumbâ€" ling fellows who, happily do not repâ€" resent the cream. I‘ve heard them or their counterparts, in the Babe‘s time, sneer at his awkaard social habits, protest his special _ Derties, even gripe that he was overpaid. Envy in mean lit‘le hearts. The big men in the game of course, knew better Babe an Economic Barometer They knew that for every pay riss they got; the Babe was respnosible for at least half of it. You see, the Babe became something more than a star. There is no telling how many peoâ€" ple there are in the country who have been attracted to bsaehball because of ‘he Babe, and who still follow it beâ€" cause it was his heroics that introâ€" duced them to its pleasant little fasâ€" cinations, baseball The first person /o stand besiae the caskot in that macabre Stadium exhibit was a middleâ€"aged businessman. â€" He had never seen a major league game of baseball. "I am here," he explained, "because I‘ve always followed the Babe and Theâ€" Babe‘s contributions to baseâ€" ball were imanifold. Mis records as an artist, 76 all told, of whch 62 sin stand. His presence vast, wholeâ€" some, rollicking. His role as goodâ€" wiil ambassador which he so casually, so lightly performed. The Babe would have been the last to claim he was a goodâ€"will ambassaâ€" dor. Perhaps baso>ball is better and E‘ner today,. becetse of the Bave Ho nemanized the game as ro other star before him ever did. â€" He sold baseâ€" hall not only as c show, but as some~, th‘ng alive warm and moving. â€" BHe pumped red bleood into the hit column He gave a new to success and The Babe Did Considerable For Baseball Players The ikot Eeklut puals into it de players, I wonder if they y much they owe the Babe?

A sense of obligation to the game that made him, and to the fans who keep the game goâ€" ing. . This was one explanation of his bottomiess _ popularity. The â€" little things he‘d do, the almost effor‘less things.

The ballplayer of today and the fu‘ure can pay the Babe‘s memory no greater respect than by taking this heritage seriously. clubs should contribute to one general pool which would consti‘ute the Babe‘s calary. This may have been preâ€" tense. One of Ruppert‘s delights in his closing years was fencing with the Babe over pav. Ruppert' of course, realized the Babe‘s extraordinary position in baseâ€" ball and I believe ifhe had been backâ€" ing a Broadway show or even a circus, with the Babe as the star, instead of a baseball club, he. would not have shied away from the $100,000 proposiâ€" ; lon.
