Staten Trade School Quintet Has One More Game Before Final
 Series

The New Britain State trade school will meet South Manchester trade school Wednesday evening in what will probably be the last league game before the championship series. In the last game the local team by a single point defeated the South Man chester boys. However, the team Is now in good form again. Both Patrus and E. Anderson should be back in the lineup for tomorrow's game. The locals feel fairly confident of defeat- ing South Manchester and have been working hard for the past two weeks. Witham and kamenicky have been showing rapid development and it will be a toss up as to who goes into the left guard place. Patrus and Capt. Swanson make a fast aggressive com- bination and backed up by H. Ander- son playing at center, it will take fast work to take the ball away from them.
 Games arebeing arranged with New Haven for the championship series. The standing of the teams in the Northern section is as follows.

SIGNING 0F RUTH PLEASES RUPERT
Tanks President Believes Babe
 Will Set New Home Run Record

New York, March 7.-CoIonel Ja- cob Ruppert. president Of the New lork Yankees, expressed yesterday his deep personal pleasure that the negotiations between the American league champions and the champion slugger Of all time, Babe Ruth, had been brought to a conclusion that as- snred the services of the home-run artist for at least three more years to the team with which he first attained country wide fame.
 "A few days ago." said the Colonel. 'l communicated with Colonel Illus ton, telling him what my idea was of the extreme concessions that we should make in rounding out new contract with the Babe. Although i do not yet know the exact terms of the three-year arrangement made in Hot Springs, am already certain that they do not exceed the figures that forwarded as representing what would be disposed to regard as fair to both parties involved.
 "All the details of the transaction are now in the mails and should reach us tomorrow morning In the course of the day the contract based on the agreement reached by Colonel Illus ton and Ruth will be drawn up and promptly forwarded to New Orleans for the signature of the Babe. As now arranged it covers the seasons of 1922, 1923 and 1924, but our priv ilege of renewal for two years will certainly be exercised provided Ruth remains anything like the attraction that he has been for the last two years"
 In connection with the preparation of the contract, Colonel Ruppert indi- cated that the terms might be made public when the agreement was on paper. Then he went on to talk about Babes home run chances for 1922.
 Looks for New Mark.
 T realize the deep interest that will prevail during the coming pennant campaign sin Ruths efforts to break his own home run record Of 59 four base blows and also the tremendous handicap against which the Babe will be laboring in view of his suspension. However, it appears to me that he may quite possibly set new figures, not only despite the fact that her cnlean attempt will be required but even because of it. The tempera- ment of Ruth is such that the handi- cap existing because he will not be allowed to get under way until the month of May is two-thirds gone may spur him to almost superhuman cf- forts to overcome it. He will have about twenty weeks in which to puln- mel the ball, and I should be not at all surprised if he averaged upward of three four-base slams a week
 q expect now to go South myself about the middle of the current month, probably on the 18th or 18th, and shall be in New Orleans in time to see the first exhibition game be- tween the Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals. Information reaching me by letter and wire leads me to believe that l shall find Babe Ruth in bet ter condition then than he has ever showed at the same date since he has been a member of the New York Amricans."

KOPF GOING GOOD
Walter, Second Member of Local Duo in National League, Lmpressex Jawn McGraw By His Work.

Advices from the Texas training camp of the New York Giants, worlds baseball champions, indicate that Walter Kopf, of this city, is impress ing the coaches and management by the spry manner in which he is hold ing down the keystone sack with one of the scrub teams. Waffle. is a brother of the more famous Billy Kopf, and while it does not seem as though he has much of a chance of beating out such a seasoned perform CT as Frank F'risch for a regular berth, some club is bound to benefit by his greatly improved playing next season. There is some talk that he will be found in the infield with the Waterbury team of the Eastern league this season. Manager Billy Gil. bert of the Brasscos, is an ex-Giant, and is now with the team in Texas. Gilbert will no doubt get several play CTS from friend McGraw, when the pruning season opens.
