ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 27
JP) Babe Ruth Is nothing if not fair
with his baseball enemies as well as
friends. The House of David collec
tion of bearded diamond warriors
who furnished the opposition for the
last Yankee exhibition game here this
season, appeared with a "recruit,"
Shortstop Heller, who lacked the cus
tomary whiskers. The Babe evened ;
things up, however, by playing with
a full set of false foliage attached to ,
his chin. !

fore leaving here for New York last
night, President Frank York said he
had been in communication with
Vance, who has retired to his home at
Homosassa to await developments.
York's offer remained unchanged at
$23,000 for the season while Vance
refused to reduce his $25,000 demand.
JACKSONVILLE. Fla., March 27 W :
Reports were in circulation today
that Chuck Klein, slugging outfield- j
cr of the Phillies, is to be placed on :
the market unless he soon signs the i
contract offered by the club. The
reports lacked confirmation. j
It was rumored that Branch Rickey,
of the St. Louis Cardinals, had of- j
fered Chick Hafey, the bespectacled '
left fielder, two pitchers and $25,000 j
in cash for Klein, but that the offer !
had been refused. i
Klein Is at his home in Indian- ;
apolls and has asserted that he will
not sign unless he Is given the $14.- '
500 for 1931. The Phillies are un
derstood to have offered him $12,500.
