Babe Ruth was a good pitcher, a good hitter and a good outfielder as a minor leaguer. Down at Boston he got the idea of hitting home runs. New York bought him for the record price of $137,000 and told him to manufacture home runs exclusively. Today he's the biggest star in the sport world at a whopping salary. Jack Dempsey concentrated on the knockout punch. He has punched himself him-self to the top of the fighting world. Money rolls his way now. Jim Barnes has been golfing for over ten years. He has won a lot of cups, but not the big one the national open. He concentrated on accuracy. This year ho copped. He now draws a salary around $20,000 as the Pelham Country Coun-try club professional, besides good purses in tournament play. You've got to concentrate to cash in. |
