THE EMINENT George Herman Ruth and the up-and-coming Henry Loui Gehrig have severed partnership for the year. That fine news tor a pitcher or lor any one with a sentimental Interest In pitcher. Ruth and Gehrig are certainly no friends of the pitching profession. Ruth and Gehrig wound up their tour of exhibition games, which started here in the East right after the World's Series, out on the Pacific Coast ten d- ys ago. The men who managed the tour estimate that they played before 220,000 people in 20 cities.

One afternoon In Los Angeles the circus brought ut a crowd of 30,000. The players themselves estimate that they autographed about 5,000 baseballs, which were sold to idol-worshiping fans at a tidy profit. In Kansas City Babe Ruth received $3,000 for posing in a pair of overalls, the picture to bi used for advertising purposes. The Babe and his Junior partner picked 4 -l If TVC gMILLERHUGGINSIV WALTER ROSS fjft With the sweet taste ofa World Series championship still in his mouth, Miller Hoggins, manager of the New York Yankees, hasaettled down for the winter at his home In St. Petersburg, Fla where, with his partner, Walter 8.

WHILE nothing like official figures are at hand, it Is safe to assume that Ruth and Gehrig divided something like $150,000 on the venture, of which Ruth probably received a hundred "grand" and Gehrig took the surplus. Add Ruth's $100,000 to the $70,000 he received from Col. Jacob Ruppert for hitting home runs for the Yankees and you have a neV total of $170,000. Possibly, Ruth's income since March 1 last is even larger than that. At the moment, the Babe is dropped out of fight.

He is probably out in the woods somewhere, hunting, fishing, or at any rate thoroughly enjoying himself. Not So Bad For Henry Louis. GEHRIG hasn't yet achieved the state of prosperity known to the eminent Babe. For one thing, Gehrig's contract with the Yankees called for, it is said, a mere $7,500. If Lou drew $50,000 for his post-season work, his year's income remains at a mere $57,500, not enough to retire for the season on.

Lou therefore continues to rake In the shekels as a basketball drawing card. The money he will make on the courts Is more or less "small change," but Lou has an encouraging offseason ahead. For one thing, the Yankees will probably double his salary next season and may slip bun considerably more than that. Gehrig is doing fairly well treading the golden path in the wake of Ruth, but it is doubtful whether he will evw equal the record of the Babe as baseball money maker. Ruth will probably take more out of baseball than any other man who ever played the pame.

Ty Cobb is a reputed mil-iioraira, but Ty attained that highly desirable state by wisely Investing his baseball earnings. Hard to Estimate Ruth's Actnal Earnings. HW MUCH money Ruth has actually earned In baseball and through his baseball reputation cannot be closely estimated. He must have been paid at least $750,000 for onr thins or another. Following his first season with the Yankees, Ruth collected $280,000 In aalnriss over a stretch of five years.

He played for $70,000 last reason, and probably collected about $75,000 in salaries from 1914 to 1921. Bo far we have a total of an Indefinite fiTure over $400,000. His share of the various World's Series in whlsn he has appeared and the exhibition games in which his name has been used as a drawing card bring the total to well over the half-million mark. Money Has Literally Poured in on Babe. TaEN, money has literally poured in upon Ruth from other sources.

Ever slr.ee lus peculiar talent has been recognized syndicated newspaper articles have anpeared under hi name in the public prints. That alone must represent an addition-of plenty of "Jack" to the Ruth treasury. The various advertising stunts with ahich the Babe's name has been connected means thousands of dollars more. He has lent his name to Babe Ruth belts," "Babe Ruth caps," Babe Ruth baseball equipment" and counties" other articles, some of them not remotely connected with his profession. For instance, there Is the overall proposition mentioned a few paragraphs back.

No one thinks of a ball plaer in overalls. And upon one occasion there was a "Babe Ruth cigar" which the well-known Sultan of Swat unsuccessfully attempted to put over. How Much Has Both Made for Others? YES, three-quarters of a million dollars is a conservative estimate of what Ruth' ball playing and reputation has brought him. It would be interesting to know the exact figures. Ruth doubtless doesn't know himself.

He Is a supremely unconscious financial wizard. Money rolls Into his pockets without undue effort on his part. He simply tries to have a good time. And now for another angle. How much has Babe Ruth made for other people? i The answsr is plenty.

There Is something Mldas-llke about the Babe, as Lou Gehrig and others can tell you. Ruth; and Ruth alone, made the present Yankees the greatest money-inaking club cl all time. Colonel Ruppert probably received larger profits in the last eight years than any club owner in history cen boast of. Largely through Ruth's influence the American League lias undergone a record period of prosperity. Rath Has Raised Salaries for AIL RUTH'S newspaper articles are amoi.g Journalism's "best sellers" ind, with few exceptions, his advertising rtunts oave gone over big.

When Babe Ruth first began to hit home runs the average salary of a big league ball player was something inder $7,500. It is closer to $10,000 now. Few ball players will deny that the Rutl.ian Influence upon baseball been profitable to them. As we have remarked UDon one or two previous occasions, the Babe is Just a great man. DICKERMAN TO SEALS.

Leo Dlckerman, once with the St Louis and Brooklyn Nationals, and last year member of the Oakland champions of the Pacific Coast League, has been purchased by San Francisco in the same loop. Oakland also has Outfielder Ralph Shlnners on the block, according to Business Manager Del Howard. CROH BUYS PLAYERS. Changes are being made at Charlotte for Heinle Groh, newly signed manager. Inflelder Walter Hunter has been purchased from the Macon club, and Catcher Fred Noon was traded to the Peaches for Pat Blarney, a southpaw pitcher.

The Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute basketball team will have as its leader Rudolph Napoli, chosen to succeed Charles Leavitt, the captain of the last year's squad. In 1926-27 Napoli held the position of forward throughout the season and tied William Dieter for high scoring honors. Rudy has been very active, botn thletically and shclally, during his three years at Poly. In his freshman year he won a place on both the boxing and basketball teams, the latter winning the lnter-class champion ship. In the spring he went out for baseball and succeeded In getting a berth on the freshman team.

In the two vears that followed he won his varsity for basketball, being one of the most consistent players. Besides his athletic achievements, Napoli was chosen vice-president of his class. He is also a member ol many of the social organizations of the Institute. Vic Saier Released From Pirate Roster Vic Saier, who played first base for the Pittsburg Pirates in 1919 and who has been carried on the reserve list of the club for many seasons, was given his unconditional release last week. Saier started his major career with the Cubs in 1011.

In 1917 he was claimed by the Pirates on waivers and there was some dispute over his services, but he was finally awarded to the Bucs. He broke his leg in 1918. and in 1919 saw that he was not able to a comebact and went Into voluntary retirement, being carried under that classification on the Pirate reserve list. Saier, who was a left-handed hitter, was considerable of a slugger in his heydey. ORTMAN COMES HIGH.

Tom Turner, Portland president, is said to have refused $65,000 for Fred Ortman, one of his young Ditchers. The offer is reported to have come from the Chicago White Sox at the time they purchased Shortstop Chalmer cissell for 1100,000 and two players. Turner stated that the pitcher would be retained until after next season, although a number of major leaguers have been after his contract. Ortman is Just 20 years old and a lefthander. He was with Des Mclnes the past season on option.

ALL WAIVED ON JOHNSON. Every club In the major leagues extended courtesy waivers to Walter Johnson, enabling the former Washington star to sign as manager of the Newark club. The announcement was a mere formality, it being generally understood that no club would block the plans of the veteran who had given so many years of faithlul service to the majors. blues sign REcnrrr. The Kansas City Blues have signed Burns Vanderford, a joung semi-pro shortstop of Clinton, Mo.

PLAY LIST College None Too Confident of Outcome of Cornell Contest. Philadelphia, Nov. 19 Five veterans sviio have made gridiron his-tory at the University of Pennsylvania will play their last game on Franklin Field next Thursday, when Cornell meets Captain Hake and his teammates in the annual Thanksgiving Day classic. This game does not conclude the season, as Pennsylvania meets California in Berkeley on Dec. 31.

Six other players who will in all likelihood receive their letter as the result of participation in the Columbia game will also be lost. Out of a total of 34 prospective letter men, the coaching staff will have as a nucleus for next season 23 men. Capt. Ed Hake, whose all-around play since the start of the season has won him warm praise from critics; Jim McGinnis, who achieved a varsity post after three years of effort; Fol-well Scull, end star for three seasons; Joe Lenzner, regarded as one of the greatest ends in recent Pennsylvania history, and Alfred Wascolonis, keystone of the backfleld and the best protagonist of the hidden ball In the squad, are the regulars who finish their Franklin Field careers. Subs Take Daily Batterings.

The six substitutes Include four men who gained their letter after al most three complete seasons on the scrub eleven. Darby, a center; Kashowitz, a guard; Moore, an end, and Hoffman, a guard, all took the dally batterings tt scrub team receives from the Foster Sanford a substitute end for three seasons, and Bill Downey, who has performed the same function as tackle over the same number of years, conclude the list of those who do not return next season. The number of varsity men available for 1928 Is in direct contrast to those who remained for this season. Last spring 22 men were lot by graduation, leaving only eight letter men. With the freshmen from this season the coaching staff should hive an excellent array of talent for next year.

Despite the overwhelming defeat suffered by Cornell at the hands of the Dartmouth eleven, Pennsylvania Is none too confident of the outcome of the Turkey Day battle. All remember the 1925 season when Cornell lost by an even greater score to the Green ind came to Franklin Field so full of fight that they almost achieved a scoreless tie. Had it not been for the scooping up of a fumble and a subsequent run for a touchdown, the Ithacans would hava held Pennsylvania scoreless. Cornell teams, and for that matter Pennsylvania teams, regardless of the season's previous record, always stage a comeback on Thanksgiving Day. Rest and Then Trip.

Plans for the week call for a scrimmage on Monday afternoon. On Tuesday the entire squad will depart for the Seavlew Golf Club at Absecon, where It will remain until Thursday morning. Signal drills and dummy scrimmage will keep the players busy on Wednesday and Thursday at the Golf Club. After the Cornell game Coach Young plans to give his team a complete rest until Dec. 5, when practice will start for the California game.

The entire squnrt will break training and forget football until the call lor California. On Dec. 17 the squad will leave here for the Coast, making a stopover at Chicago or eight hours. From Chicago to Berkeley the special train will only stop long enough to change engines. On the morning of Dec.

21 the team will arrive in Berkeley, where headquarters will be established. Practice will be held that afternoon and every afternoon until the dav prior to the game. The party has been invlt-d to witness the Tournament of Rose game at Los Angeles on Jan. 2. WANT BASKETBALL GAMES.

Football has not always needed the shoulder-pad and the head-guard. The sport, originated by the Greeks and called "harpaston" and later played by the Romans under the name "follis," was at first so mild and mannerly that Emperor Augustus, around 28 B.C., banned the pastime, saying that it was too tame and lady-like to be of service in the training of Roman soldiers. From that time to the close of the Middle Ages football was in closer association with the powder-puff than the pigskin. Roughened up a little, the game was played during the period Just mentioned, under the title of "calcio." But "calcio," as we see it, was little more than a fashion show in the form of a game. Played only by gentlemen, with a rather tedious but respectable social background, this version of the sport was the Italian way of welcoming a foreign diplomat or celebrating a royal marriage.

It served handily as an excuse to show off a new suit and tho Italians then, as now, were gaudy dressers. Game a Glittering PageanL At all contests doublet and hose prevailed. The opposing squads strutted out on the field, proud as circus horses, in costumes either of crimson satin, velvet or gold. In addition, the scene was enhanced by the presence of glittering supernumeraries, 3uch as heralds, trumpeters, standard bearers and halberdiers, all trying desperately to outshine the players. At these momentous matinees a parade always preceded the game.

Like some -mammoth production of Hamlet, the procession was headed by eight trumpeters and two drummers, who supplied the necessary lacket. These were followed by a group of the players In double file, each file representing a side. Next came two standard bearers carrying the colors of the teams; more drummers, the remaining players and a number of musicians. This radiant glomeratlon circled the field. Then the standards of the two sides were consigned to the Judges, who were seated on a high pavilion equi-dlstant from the two goals.

Just off the border of play. Two trumpet blasts followed, and the field was cleared for action. Twenty-seven oa Each Bide. Fifty-four men, twenty-seven on a side, enough on one team to engage in a modern football game, scattered over the playing ground. There were four lines of defense, and their names remind us of the troops that battled through the eight books of Caesar.

Fifteen Innanzi made up the first line. Five Sconclatorl comprised the second; four Datore Innanzi the third, and three Datore Addietro the fourth completing a side. If you are havln? trouble with your Italian we might say that the first named were forwards, the second, halfbacks; the third, quarterbacks, and the fourth, fullbacks. The object of the sport was to propel the ball either by throwing, kicking or striking It with the hand, through the goal of the opposing side, when this was done a "caccia." or touchdown, was scored. Immediately afterward, the two teams would again parade around the field, the standard of the side ahead being held high while that of the losers drooped with its point to the ground.

With the march over, the squads changed goals and proceeded with the game. A Game of Royal Gentility. And thus, during a period varying from two to three hours, was "Calcio" played. The length of a game de pended a great deal on ine numoer 01 parades necessary around the field; the more "cacciae" the more processions. The sportsmanship exhibited In these contests was absolutely up to the players.

There were no referees to penalize roughness. However, as the players were all refined gentlemen of rank, and ranging in age from 18 to 45, rouTh-house tactics were not often encountered. The voung player respected his elder, and the elder the might of the younger Consequently, the records are free from excessive tales of barbarity. Now and then. In spite of royal bringing up, however, a temner was lost and football a la Dempsry resulted.

De Bardl, who has written a lengthy treatise on the game, says this concerning conduct: "As each Innanzi mirages one or another of the Sconclatorl in front or from the side, let him never use his fists, but rather keeping his arms extended let him charee where he bet can and that when discourtenv shown him he should not resent It, and Immediately confront his adversary and no less vigorously than by striking him with all his mleht. but 1 murnt say that as soon aa he has settled his quarrel, he shmild run to the ball and continue the game. Aa far as ean be ascertained nnihini more serious than a run In a s'ock-Ing resulted from these encounters. With Pomp But, after all, the most dlstlngulah-lng feature of "Calcio" was not the game Itself, but the gorgeousnew and pomp which accompanied It. Francisco del Garbo In ms memoirs cites several Calcine which he considers to have been the moat marvelous in the hlatorv of the sport.

"In the February ol 158S." he write, "the moat Illustrious Don Ceaare da Este entered Florence to rapouae the moat ll.uatrlnus Virginia de Medirl. and banquets and rrveilinirs were held Uncea were broken and Calcio a llvrea In coalumrs of green and (old was played and the players were divided Into squadrona of sn each of a dillrrent color, save that one side wore a green and the other a cap."

The first event on the sports calendar will be a visit of a team of American girl swimming champions in December, and from then on through April there will be at least one outstanding event taking place on the islands every week.

Other events include two golf championships one for women and the other for men on the famous Mid-Ocean Club links at Tuckers Town; a series of international tennis matches, for which a team of four British international stars are coming to pit their skill against the lead ing home talent and to play in the) international championships, an event that will probably attract several of the ranking players from the United States; a visit of the famous Montreal English rugby team, and a series of motorboat and yacht races which will culminate in the annual thrash from New London to Bermuda, now one of the chief events of the yachting year. These are the outstanding features on the program, but in addition there will be weekly competitions in golf, tennis, yachting and horse racing. Among the swimmers who will make the trip to Bermuda on Dec. 28 to participate in two aquatic meets in the St. George pool are the Misses Martha Norelius.

In the Middle West 28 of 100 teams failed to score this year to 30 of 88 last year.

In the Far West five of 30 teams failed to score this year opposed to five of 26 last year. An attempt to decide the question from the meeting of the same teams also fails. On the first Saturday of November, 1927, 38 games were played in which the teams competing had met in 1928. Of the 76 teams 21 failed to score in 1926 and 18 in 1927. Adding the total scores of both teams each year, it is found that in 18 games the total score of the 1926 game was the largest; in 17 games total of the 1927 games was the largest, while In three of the sessions the total score of the game was the same.

The above falls to show there Is a large difference in scoring in the meeting of the same teams in different years. The Final Test. The final test attempted was on the scion's record of Western Conference teams. Up to the first Saturday of November 60 games were played each year. This year Big Ten teams failed to score in eight of their 60 games.

Last year Conference teams failed to score In 18 of their battles. The total record of each of the 120 teams In 60 games shows that in 1926 41 teams failed to score in some game. This year virtually the same 120 team (james found only 28 failing to score. This slight evidence In favor of a higher scoring season la at least partially offset by the fact that last year 17 of the 60 games furnished scores above 30 points, while this year but 12 sames passed the 30-polnt figure. It is possible that the critics who have pointed to this as year of hlth scoring may be risht, but the figures seem to Indicate there is little difference between this year of the lateral pass and distant goal posts and last year of the compacted field and touchdowns on blocked kicks and fumbles.

(Dirctlor of Athlttiet. ANN ARBOR, Nov. 19 UP) There appears to be in the making an impression that this football year of 1927 is one of wild scoriny that because of an indefinite something every one Is making touchdowns. One critic attributes this orgy of scoring to the lateral pass, or rather to the fear that some team will use something like a lateral pass. Virtually every one admits that a lateral pass has not yet been witnessed in consistent use.

Figures Can Be Juggled. Statistics of games played fail to present convincing arguments. The figures, in fact, can be used to show both less and more scoring this year than last. On the first Saturday In Novembci this year press associations carried the scores of 300 football teams, divided Into Eastern, Middle Western, Southern and Far Western. Of these 300 teams 63 failed to score.

For the first Saturday in November, 1928, press associations carried the scores of 278 teams, of which 67 failed to score. By some strange arrangement of chance, 30 of the winning teams each year made scores of more then 30 paints. Going back to the final Saturday In October, scores of 302 teams were carried this year, of which 77 failed to score. For the similar Saturday a year ago 264 teams were reported, of which 84 failed to score. Thirty-five teams had scores of more than 30 points this year to 37 a year ago.

Southern games rather throw the scores for particular week out of balance. Of 80 Southern teams this rear, but 18 fared to score, while a year ago 20 of 68 failed to score. Little Difference In Scoring. How little difference there Is In 'he scores of two years probably is best shown by the sectional statistics other than Southern for the last Saturday in October. In the Eastern section 28 teams of delight Yet, of the play, the historian remarked: "It was a rich Calcio but not very vigorous, for there were poor Datore, bad Innanzi and indifferent Sconlatori."

Now. In contrast to this loveliness there Is a tale which still lingers England to the effect that the Danlth invasion was responsible for Instituting British rugby and later American football. The story has It that during the war of 982 the populace of a certain town cantured a Dane and beheaded him.
