George smith. the elongated center, who starred on the Stamford Big Five and other cage teams around the state and who has played here scores of, times, is causing quite a flu rore in Metropolitan basketball cir cles. The ''big boy is now perform Ing with the Greenpoint Knights. and is considered the best center in Met ropolitan cage circles Following IS a. spiel by New York expert on George Smith
 Who is the best center in the Metropolitan League this season? An interesting question, which will no doubt bring as many dlf- ferent answers from fans as there are pivotmen in the league The views of Jack Murray, who has had ample opportunity to study them all at close quarters are en- Tightening.
 Jack says that George smith of thes sGreenpoint Knights, is un- doubtedly playing the best game at pivot position and 8 little thought on the subject will show that he is on the right track.
 Big Boy" who came to the Knights from Stamford late in being a heavy scoring center, somewhat of a rarity. lived Up to his rep right from the start In the eight games in which he par ticipated during the first half Of the met season, Smith scored a total of nineteen field goals, more than any other center had SCOT ed in as many as thirteen games His floor work has also been great and the fine showing of the Knights may De attrrputed m great part to his heady play inG

Meets Gene AIcCann. . Friend George
 I thought l would drop you 2 few lines in order that you and the Bridgeport fans can keep tracks on me. Right after the ball season I landed g. good job which should keep me in good shape until reporting time It. in a butter and cheese establish nnent and it is no ClnCh in a way, but I'm used to hard work. roll the tubs of butter and casks of cheese from the store onto the trucks. They are shipped to Jer- sey and Pennsylvania and some go to Bridgeport
 ran into Gene McCann and he gave me a warm nandshake and told me I was the best catcher in the Eastern League. I came right back and said if that be SO I should get 300 or 400 bucks more on my next seasons con tract. Gene said. You'll be taken care of, old top
 l also ran across John Me McGraw. He told me he had heard I was making good and that he was going to keep his eyes on me next season Sor George, may be with the Giants some day.
 expect to have quite a roll by February when I am going to take a vacation and am going to Niagara Falls for a week or so with a party of friends. They say it's a great place in winter. Would like to have Jimmy Kelly along on the trip. Put him wise. He has my address
 Gets Advice From Ruth.
 Not wanting to brag, but l feel it in my bones that I'm going to have my biggest season in 1923. I'm going to make a terrible er- fort to carry off the home run record. Saw Babe Ruth before he went to his Boston farm and he gave me some valuable tips. Hit from the shoulder" he said. Gotta bang the bail like a blacksmith flattens iron into a horseshoe" he said. That ad- vice looks good to me. and certainly expect to do some thun- derous stunts with the old will next season.
 See Eddie Lepard quite often. He's a fight fiend and also one Of the f1ashfest dressers on Broad way He would give Gene Mo Cam a big run for his money In that line. But, Gene made-some of those major league kings look like pikers around Peacock at- ley.
 Luck Basketball
 Tried my luck at basketball, but there's too much running in that game for me. Afraid l might break a leg if I kept it up.
 Will be glad to play in Bridge port again next season. It's a great old burg. Find some way 10 express my best Christmas wishes to all the fans. including the razzers. They tried to get my goat, but wouldn't stand for it. It's all in the game and l like 'em.
 Your friend,

WHERE WILL. THORPE PLAY
 NEXT YEAR?

Eastern League ball fans in Bridgeport are wondering where Jim Thorpe will play next season. The Indian. who finished the seq son with Worcester. is still the property of the Hartford club. Clarl<in is said to be willing to give Jim another chance. and Manager Paddy O'COnnOF is also said to possess the same line of thought. Thorpe. if he attends strictly to business, would be a valuable asset and d hi@ draw ing card for any club. Fans hope he will remain in the G'NeiI cir cult.
