1922 - RUTH TO TEST PROWESS IN YANKEES’ NEW PARK

NEW YORK. December 23. - Babe Ruth is coming from his farm in Sudbury, Mass. in a week or two to visit the Yankees' new stadium and bat a few drives over the fences Just to prove that zoning rules for home runs would mean nothing to him.

In a letter to Col. T. L. Huston, who is soon to retire as part owner of the Yankees, made public today, the Bambino says: "I don’t care where the fences are. I can hit 'em anywhere. Put the marks anywhere you like."

Babe added that he was working hard every day, was down to 210 pounds, and still dropping.
