PICKS HIS OWN PLACE
'Ba be- Ruth Will Request Manager Higgins, Of Yankees, to Place Him in Center Field Position.

Boston, Feb. 14.-"Babe' Ruth says he will ask Manager Miller HuGgins, of the Yankees, for tho center fielder's job in the big city. He says he does not want the right garden and he in dicates that he will kick hard gainst that assignment.
 Ruth makes it clear he doesn't like that right-feld wall at the Polo Grounds.
 I'll get myself all smashed up in going after 'enl,'' are his words.
 It is admitted that Ruth goes after a fly hard. When Ruth started play ing the outfeld the wiseacres were in- clined to give him the laugh, but he developed with great rapidity and his cleverness is now conceded. It is his contention that he has demonstra ted his ability, and the fact that he led the American league outieiders last season adds weight to his argun1e ert.

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
 TRIMS NEW HAVEN
Locals Take Second League Game
 by 45 to 30 Score !,

Dave Dunn's charges came through, again last night winning easily over the team of the New Haven High school by a 45 to 30 score and greatly strengthening their hold on the trian suiar basketball fonora for 1920. The game was played on the |. M. c. A. foor before an audience of over 500 fans.
 Whether the New Britain High school team realized that their task was one that required but easy work is a question, but at any rate those who with essed their playing in the Hopkins street gymnasium against the Hartford team and again saw them in action last night were dis appointed in their work of last eve ming. The local boys showed no disposition to work hard and were content <to keep their lead the same throughout. Several times the New Haven lads passed the ball the whole length of the floor and dropped in the goal.
 Bunny Easily the Star. Jack Bunny was easily the star of the game, and was most in evidence of any red and gold basket togser. That his efforts were not futile is seen by the summary of the game in which he is creditew with goals from the floor His au-around play ins and flashes Of speed that be- wildered his guards made it easy for him to pile up Is points during the game. Burns missed out on very few free tries. adding points to the tsam total through that medium. Taylor landed z baskets and would have landed several more but for his fV.irlinC tho over his head into the basket. "Bill" keefe went into the game in the second half and played we'll. land ins one basket and holding his man to few tries
 For New Haven Eotwinik, q brother of the former Hig gh school star now playing with the Atlas and Federal outfits. was a rpainstay. Pete whose brother has also been seen on teams playing against the local school, landed s goals.
