Major league clubs will mall out the 1930 co tracts some time ; this month snd one of them is expected to stipulate stip-ulate the largest baseball salary of all time. ' QuIU naturally the contract will go to Babe Ruth, somewhere in Florida, and the figures are quite likely to read: $150,000 for tke sea sons 1930 and 1931. Agreement Report 3d Col. Jacob Ruppert and the Babe are understood to have agreed on this figure some time ago when everyone .else was concerned over Miller Huggins successor, as man ager of the New York Yankees. After Ruth's contract was settled, the lesser important business of picking the Yanks' leader was gone into and ended with Bob Shawkey getting the. assignment Shawkeys salary is1 understood to be som where in tha nelehborhood of $20,000. After Ruth receives his contract he will bring it to the Yankees' of fice and, the formality of signing It for the benefit of the cameramen and newspaper photographers will take place. If Babe Ruth, .baseball's biggest paid star, was easy to agTeeto terms, Dazzy Vance of Brooklyn and Burleigh Grimes of Pittsburgh, who were numbered among the ten highest salaried players, probably wPl be two of the hardest to sign. Vance drew $25,000 last season and, will demand that salary again. Two members of the Brooklyn board of directors are in favor of trading Vance before- they pay him. the same salary again this season. If -Vance is sold or' traded, he probably will land with either tho Chicago Cubs or Cincinnati Reds,-Grimes Reds,-Grimes Wants Plenty Grimes is understood to have asked the Pittsburgh club, for a $20,000 salary nextseason and Barney Bar-ney Dreyfuss Is "said to be opposed to meeting the right-handed ace's demands. ' Grimes is said to have been of fered to the St Louis Cardinals in exchange for Jim Bottomley, but the deal was turned down by Pros- dent Sam Breadon of the Cards. Another- pitcher who is demand ing a big salary is Wesley Ferrell, who won 21 games for Cleveland in his first year In tlp big league last season. Ferrell wants $12,500 while -the Indians have offered him $7,500. Provo Cleaners Are Rabbit Hunt Victors Provo First Wallops Sharon; v Manavu OTerpowers ; , " ' ...
