JACK DUNN FOUND
BABE RUTH IN AN
ORPHAN ASYLUM
(Continued from Page Two)
a bunch of race track touts and
they are said to have taken him for
close to $100,000.
That was another awakener and
when he returned he sent for his
friend, Harry Heilman, outfielder for
the Detroit Tigers, and took out a
policy for $75,000 on his (Ruth’s)
life.
"That will take care of the wife
and little Dorothy,” he said "I
don't care so much for myself now,
but I’ve been a sucker not to be
thinking of them.”
For man who was so robust in
appearance, the Babe was very
fragile and was subject to many
attacks of indigestion that came
from satisfying a violent appetite
that he always carried. He couldn’t
get enough to eat. Friends told of
seeing him many times go into the
dining room near midnight and get
away with a huge steak, several
chops and dish of potatoes and some
salad. He didn’t care much for
vegetables and his doctor said that
was the cause of his trouble.
The Bigest Bellyache.
Miller Huggins tells a story of an
experience the Babe had in 1924 at
the Yankee training camp in New
Orleans. The Babe complained of a
violent case of indigestion during
the afternoon workout and Huggins
told him he. should take some bi
carbonate of soda.
“Hey, boy,” he yelled at a little
negro,” “Go get me some bicarb.”
And he handed him a dollar.
“That’s be an awful big dose,”
Huggins said.
“I know it, but I got tne Diggest
bellyache in Louisiana,” he roared.
Ruth’s immense frame and huge
appetite made it difficult for him to
keep himself at playing weight—
about 210 pounds. Every winter
he put on from 20 to 45 pounds of
fat and took it off in the spring
by the most violent exercises. His
huge frame—6 feet, 2 inches—de
manded food in immense quantities,
which made training off his winter
poundage still harder. He would
lose five pounds after a strenuous
day under the southern sun and re
place all he had lost at dinner the
same night. Then more violent
training the next day. All of this
left his system a ready prey to at
tacks of “flu,” to which were added
indigestion and frequently blood dis
orders.
'As the Babe grew older, he gained
weight more rapidly during the off
season and every year found it
harder to remove. He took winter
exercise on his Massachusetts chick
en farm during the winters but,
as he ruefully said: “The moie 1
work, the more I eat.”
A heretic is a fellow who doesn’t
believe in our pet superstitions.
Those who say that uplifters aie
not practical should consider the
Elevator boy.

Airplanes Move Miners
Over Desolate Country
VANCOUVER, B. C., May 19.—(/P>
—Success in the use of airplanes to
carry miners and supplies to mining
districts near Fairbanks, Alaska, and
in the Pacific northwest, has result
ed in plans being made here for
speeding up a stampede into the Cas
siar country of northern British Co
lumbia this summer over air routes.
Dog-sleighs and pack-mules were
pitted against freight-carrying air
planes for the time when the weath
er would permit prospectors to rush
to Dease Lake.
Reports of rich gold strikes in the
Cassiar were confirmed at the start
of winter. Canadian police placed
a ban on adventurers making the
journey, for fear of starvation dur
ing the severe winter and the possi
bility of freezing to death if an at
tempt was made to return to civiliza
tion.
A strange assortment of dogs com
posed the teams arriving at Wran
gell, Alaska, preparing for the rush.
The husky type, bred in the north,
predominated. There were also Irish
setters. A German police dog led
another team.
Daughters are taking great iiskj
in permitting their mothers to go anti
come as they please.
Those who would suppress all
news of crime have thehearty ap
proval of the bandits.
We are aainst that new calendar
with 13 months if it means an extra
day for bill collectors.
