For the babe made his $80,000 in 1930-31 when the buck was still a buck. According to the monetary experts, Ruth's real earnings on that per annum wage would be about the equiv alent of a $150,000 salary today. Besides, the babe made a huge fortune on movies, barnstorm ing, ghosted articles, endorse ments and what have you. In 1930, for instance, he collected $130,000 from all his enterprises.
