FRITZ MUsANTE holds a

FRITZ MUSANTE holds a baseball record which claimed big headlines a few years ago, the genial Fritz told members of the Cracker Barrel Club yeStef- day. Those were the days when Fritz played second base for the champion Bridgeport Ell1s' nine and when he was the Rabbit Maranviile'' in the Antlers' cir cult. Fritz went through a streuouS season with but one er- ror-really a star achievement for an infielder. '1f7hat one throw was wild heave over second base and I always blamed that black mark to one thing, said Fritz. 'NThe night before I was out at a church picnic and had 20 girls to entertain, and I didn't get home until 1880 a. n.", con- fessed Fritz. elf I followed my regular rules Of turning into bed at D. m. I would have had a added Fritz. Fritz also claims the distinction of being the only player to bayl out Gene McCann in a game. That incident oc- cured when Gene was pitching for EIl<s' team. But taking things seriously, Fritz was no light weight in amateur baseball circles before Father Time checked his budding athletic career.
 THE RETURN of Edouard Horennan's Belgian billiard ex- pert, is interesting to local bfl- Hard enthusiasts, who are hoping that Willie Hoppe will consent to meet the Belgian in a tituIar competition during the coming season. HoremanS made frequent visits here last season and won many friends by his pleasing per- Sonality.
 THERE'S A LOT of local ball fans who follow major league doing who believe that the Worlds Series will be- played this year in New York, with the Yankees and Giants as the con- tending teams. They are basiDg their beliefs on the likelihood going to start on a long slide ere long.
 EHMKE, C1eveland's pitcher, punCtured Babe Ruth'S aSpira- ionS to chalk up a record for consecutive hitting in yesterdays game against the Tanks after the BambinO had connected safely in 26 games. Ruth was at the plate five times and reached first base once. That was on four balls. He got in one good lick a long high fly, caught near the bleacherS by HeilnHanp. He did not pick out the good ones as well as he has been doing lately, and though he had a lot of pep in the field he showed no great zeSt for his batting. He had hit safely in 26 consecutive games up to yester- day-12 at home and If on the road.
 HARRY HETINIANN, leading batter of the American League. is bad-baIl hitter. He goes after them on the inside, on tho outside, high, low. But he nails enough of them to make him the best hitter in either major league circuit by several points above 400. It is estimated Heilrllann could have drawn at least 50 bases on EeIlS if he were not so eager to step into a ball and drive it out But HeiIIIlan doesn't wait 'e1n out. He bangs away at them. He has found that it pays. Most bad balls arc cripples-casy to hit.

By CHICK CREATION.

Billy Prince and Joe Hall, the rival local featherweights, have been matched to scrap again. This time not in Bridgeport, but in Stamford, next "Wednesday night, in an eight rounder which will precede the main event between Young Mack of Stam- ford and Kewpie Williams of Jersey City.
 Prince of the Mohican A. c. and Hall of the Crashos are keen rivals for the honors as the Park City's leading fea1herweight and a corklng bout is expected as in their previous engagements. Hall and Prince have met three times and each time Prince managed to coIp the verdict, although not by an overwhelming margin.
 But as Hall has been going at a right fast clip of late around Albany and Troy, whipping everything he has encountered, he expects to reverse things with Prince. Many Bridge porters are expected to take in the bouts.

ANITA STEWART HERE
 TONIGHT ON EMPRESS
 SCREEN IN NEW PLAY

When Big Business, seeking relax ation, squanders it's swollen profits on big pleasure, New Works whole gilt tering underworld dances to its whim.
 Strong men craving excitement, cunning men of doubtful past, beauti- full women without memories or hopes, swirl through the shining pal aces of night, recklessly squandering health, morals, regulations and hard earned fortunes.
 To play with the devotees of big pleasure means the opening of the Golden Doors to the woman who has brains, beauty and nerve.
 Such a woman is Mary Regan," heroine of Leroy Scott's sensational novel of big pleasure, as played by Anita Stewart.
 AS a book, Mary Began" was a best seller. AS a play it is one of the most novel and fascinating TO- mances of the screen. Its climax is reached in a thrilling raid upon a big cabaret-a raid which puts to flight a band of blackmailing vultures, ard, incidentally, brings an answer to Mary's love question. By all means seen to be apprec ,ted, and after see Empress.
 As an added attraction. there will be shown Vaudeville" new depar- ture in the field of motion pictures. It cannot be described-it must be see nto be appreciated, and after see ing, if you don't feel that you have had a front row on the Orpheum cir cuit-ibut what's the use of talking about it? And for still further enter tainment, you will see topical num- Der, including one of those clever car toons that are gaining such popular ity. All booked for tonight at the Elm press.
 A word of explanation as to the change from the DeMtlle feature that was to have been shown: Owing to mixup in reels, not discovered until late moment, 1t is necessary to post pone showing of "Why Change Your Wives" until after the arrival of the Northwestern. Watch for the date to be announced later.

BRUSHES MADE FROM
 ROOTS OF PALMETTO

TAMPA, Fla, Jan. 28 (by Associat- ed Press) Utilization of the fibrous palmetto root, which for many years has been not only a waste product of the soil but an actual hindrance to the agricultural development of Flor ida, has been brought about by the use of the material in the making of brushes. Machinery has been per fected to extract the palmetto fiber from the roots and it's use promises an important industry for Florida
