When the Yankees are on a road tour, the Babe generally calls up his New York home to recount the events of the day. Even after the baseball season is over, the Babe keeps the telephone wires busy. On a hunting trip at Camp Bryan in North Carolina at the end of a recent season, the party had put in a full day, having arisen about 4 A. M, and remained in the woods as long as daylight lasted. On the afternoon of this particular day, the Babe sighted a oeer, wnich he knocked over with his first shot. When the party returned to camp that evening, all pretty well tired out after a hard day , in the woods and ready to turn in, Ruth decided that he must call New York and tell the folks about the deer. The fact that the nearest telephone was at Havelock, several miles away from the camp, made no difference, and. he was not content until he had made the trip and told the people at home all about his exploit.
