Jacob Ruppert, owner of the New York Yanks, have re awakened Interest In the contract which will -soon be offered . Babe Ruth. Ruppert had hit little say when he tcld sport writers that none of, his players would be permitted to report to the tralntng camp of the Yankees at St. Petersburg until he had signed a contract. While Herb Pennock, the slender pitcher, also, has been unable to agree upon his annual wage, the announce ment of the colonel was believed to be - aimed .directly at.

The last -detachment of Yanks wilt leave for St. Petersburg on March and the Babe's movie work will stop February 25. That means the Babe mutt hop to New York from the coat t, talk with Ruppert and prepare to leave for the south all within eight days Ruppert insisted he hst not conferred with hiV'Wr1 slugger sines the close of the 'season and hence Ruth cannot yetibe.classedjtsa holdout. Hit three yiar contract calling for $52,000 yearly has expired and indications were that the Bambino will not be backward In demanding a considerably larger figure. MAY ASK $IA,MN With Cobb drawing down between $60,000 and 175.000 from the Athletics, It Is conceivable Ruth will ask as high as 1 100.000 for one season's work, or 175,000 a year for three years. And the answer from Ruppert, who. like all owners of pennant winning ball clubs. Is harassed by requests for salary boosts may be, "Try and get It I" The sympathy of fapdom Is with the Babe. If Ty Cobb Is worth anywhere near 875.000 to the Philadelphia club, Ruth Is worth at least $100,000 to the 182 !
