A wall from Mamie greeted the young state troopers statement in the ''hoose gow." and that he had fright ened the children into obedience with his revolver.
 "Oh, let me go to the children v she pleaded, and I spoke quickly. # What harm can she do? And the children must need her terribly"
 "She can upset the evidence" the young trooper replied amazingly, If she's as strong and as quick as her mother. But come along'-he pulled the girl toward the house-"and re- member that if you try any monkey business. shoot"
 "Oh, won't do anything T" Mamie sobbed "Just let me go to the chil- dren."
 Better come along" the young officer flung back superfuously at Katherine and me, for we were close behind him. "and see what we found a little while ago."
 He flung open the door to the di- lapidated old house, and we saw be- fore as a dingy kitchen whose fur nishings were a stove. a table and two broken chairs But on the stove was queer copper contrivance from which liquid was dripping, and on the floor two wash tubs with brown fish, muddy liquid covred with white hecks.
 Dot were my tub go," Katie's voice sounded behind us and the off, fcer whirled to face her.
 Whats this?" he said. Another one? What dye men. your tub, and who are you?"
 ''You Must Apologize"
 Katie put her arms akimbo, and faced the young fellow unabashed,
 T mean dots my tub, you foony boonch of soup greens" she began truculently, but with a swift move ment I thrust her behind me, whis- pering an imperative command for silence, and faced the young officer who had bristled like an insulted tomcat at Katie's impertinance
 ''She is my housekeeper, Officer" ] said quickly. land she means that the people here came over to borrow one of our tubs this morning saying they had an extra washing to do---"
 Washing snorted the irrepressible Katie. "Foony kind of washing, ain't eet? Taking my tub to make dot dirty hootch. l never can clean eet again. Shoost smell dot stuff Und, look. All ofer the floor, too 70 z
 "Yes, we've seen that. Katie" said impatiently. and, indeed the uneven floor boards were soaked with the stuff, But you must apologize to the officer for what you said just now" Wy vot I say?" Katie demanded with just a little too obvious inno- l. cence, and she looked the young of- f1cer straight in the eyes. 'I no re- member say notings. Fef you tell me vct I say dots bad. I say I'm sorry all over lot" The young state trooper swallowed his dignity, There was nothing else to be done in the face of Katie's ap- parent guilelessness.
 A Significant Fact

Three Varsity Fights Report at
 New Headquarters

Derby, Conn.,, April 3.--Yalc's row yesterday afternoon from New Havcr Harbor to the Housatonic River Coach Ed Leader and President John. ny Houch of the university navy su. perintended the change.
 The three varsity eights reported al thq new boathouse here for thei, initial workout, following a short Eas. ter vacation. The freshman squad will report to Coach George Murphy tomorrow and the 15-pound varsity eight to Coach Lynn Moore on Thurs day.
 Floating ice, high winds and rough water limited this afternoons work to brief trials under the lea of the high hills which line the north side of the course.
 Leader paid special attention to blade technicalties and to the adiust- ment of the new shell made of Span ish cedar by R. J. Pocock. the former University of Washington boatbuilder, who was brought here with Leader to develop an American rowing system at Yale.
 Rigging New Shell
 The new shell is high rigged and logically adapted to the heavier Eli oarsmen who are being used by Lead CT in the first and second eights. Leader said tonight, that it has no revolutionary lines and embodies no new theories, but that it was almost replica of the boat in which the University of Washington secured such good results at Poughkeepsie last year, and which also was built by Pocock.
 Leader made single, although inn portant change in each of the first and second crews. He assigned Ken meth Ives to the stroke seat of the first shell. Ives, who lives in Dobbs Ferry, rowed in promising form for the freshmen two seasons ago, but was ineligible last season. He dis placed Jack Freeman today.
 Freeman, who stroked the varsity in it's winning four-mile race with Harvard two years ago, has been tried in the same seat the last fortnight He was relegated to the stroke-oai place in the second shell today.
 Leader has tried at stroke the last three weeks Freeman, Ives, Ewing freshman stroke last year, and James Rockefeller, No. 6 of the varsity shell.

Coach Joe Wood Of Xale 7ek
 My He Looks For Biz Season
Pitchers Only Need of Eli Nine to Turn Out First Class Baseball Aggrega- ton.

Macon, Ga, April 3.-Joe Wood famous American league pitcher who will coach Yale's baseball can didates. feels certain that he will de- yelop winner his first year In charge. The Yale squad is doing spring train ing here.
 For several years Yale has been slipping in an athletic way, particu- larly with reference to its showing against Princeton and Harvard. Wood hopes to win back some Of the lost baseball prestige, He has a great op- portunity and fairly good material to work with.
 T understand" said Wood, fin dis cnssing Yale's chances. that pitching plays the big part in college baseball. that hitting on the whole Is rather weak.
 What is true of college ball is equally true of the major leagues. pitching is most essential. A big ! league club that is weak in the box 1 has little chance of winning q pen nant, regardless of how strong it may be in other departments of the game.
 T feel that the fact that l spent the greater part of my major league career as Q pitcher will be of much value to me as college coach. Nat uraily will be in a position, because of my pitching experience, to get the best possible out of my twirling can didates.
 If am able to develop few good pitchers will have no fear as to the outcome of the college season, it will be successful.
 Tn addition to my pitching eXreri- ence have played the 3utfeld. and been regular in the lineup, which has enabled me a grasp the possibili- ties of the other end of the game.
 The fact that have played under two such great managers as Bill Car rigan and Iris Speaker will also work fo my advantage, since have had the benefit of their instruction and ad- vice"

CAN BABE RUTH COME BACK?

exalted position he once held in the eyes of tandom. He feels keenly his failure of last season.
 As to Ruth's condition I am per fectly satisfied the big fellow never was in better shape.
 As to his ability to come back, well that is another question.
 I am of the opinion that Ruth's comeback depends on something more than mere condition Psychology is going to play an even greater part.
 If Ruth gets away to good start, it will man everything to him in an effort to win back popular favor.
 Must Regain Confidence.
 Mob psychology is going to enter into the affair to great extent. In sense, Ruth has lost confidence in himself. Once that was his greatest asset
 Ruth. when he was breaking home- run records, feared no pitcher, they all looked alike to him. Every pitch- CT had a wholesome respect for Ruth. He was the big threat
 That condition has been changed. Ruth's failure of last year has caused the pitchers to lose much of the respect they once had for Babes bat ting prowess. Ruth looks no differ ent than the other good hitters. No longer is he looked on as super batsman. That makes a difference.
 Ruth is well aware that fandom is fckle. A good start means he will win back the cheers instead of jeers. Cheers make for confidence. Failure to hit at the start will unquestion- ably discourage the big fellow and probably kill off some of his worth while resolutions.
 Ruth has won back condition. Now if he can get the fans with him, the American league pitchers may once more tremble when he steps into the batter's box.

Famous Tennis Star Gives Some
 Fine Points of the Game

 The art of volleying Is nothing more than taking the ball in mid court or up closer to the net, while it is in the air, and returning it to your opponents court.
 Johnston Is Greatest.
 The greatest volleyer in the world today is Little Bill" Johnston, the California wonder. Johnston is the greatest natural voleyer that l have ever seen. He is marvel on what is called shoulder-high "volleys." To feed the ball to him at that height means a sure point for the little coast marvel

BY BILLY EVANS.

New Orleans, La, April 3.-Can Babe Ruth come back? At present the demon swatter is the question mark of baseball.
 What are the chances of Ruth to regain the home run crown that is now the property of Rogers Hornsby of the St. Louis Cardinals?
 For several days have been giving the Sultan of Swat" the once over, the up and down, trying to decide that very question.
 If the hitting of home runs merely depends upon condition, Ruth has a great chance to win back the fame and glory that was his for three years.
 I had heard much about Ruins condition prior to hitting this burg, but was skeptical as to the reports.
 Ruth Weighs 2O1 Pounds.
 How much had Ruth actually lost during the winter on the farm and the preliminary work at Hot Springs, Ark? I wanted to get the informa- ton first-hand and had the big fel- low step on the scales. He tipped the beam at exactly POI pounds.
 Last season Ruth weighed 235 pounds. Draw on your imagination and it is an easy matter to picture the change that has taken place. The waistline has been reduced at least six inches, and the bay-window that once announced the approach of the Babe is now conspicuously missing. \ Ruth Is lighter and in better shape today than I have ever seen him duking his entire connection with the \American league. When he was the ikading southpaw of the John- sonian organization, Ruth weighed in the neisShborhood of 21o.

THIRD BASE ONLY OPEN
 PLACE ON BROWNS TEAM
Eddie Foster. Old Timer That He is. Still Fighting Gamely For
 This Berth

The length of a jor league career is not decided by the age of the in- dividual. For while gray hairs may squeak there remains something up there in the top story which carries them on.
 Here is Eddie Foster, born Feb. IS 1888, who was a member of the Phil adelphia Athletics back in 1907, re- garded by Lee Fohl as a candidate for the third cushion in the Browns lineup this spring.
 When Fohl was asked to map out his plans on the 1923 team he placed Eddie Foster in the competition with Frank Ellerbe and the recruits.
 And why not Foster?" says Fohl "Of course he is 35 years of age, but he's younger than Cobb, Speaker, Col lins and other players.
 Foster played prominent part in landing us a game away from the Yankees last season. Ellerbe was a cripple with a bad knee, Austin could not stand the strain more than three days and the youngsters were not ex- perienced enough.
 Foster had a batting average on the season of .265, but I believe he hit at least $50 while he was with the Browns.
 Come through in the pinch? Sell dom misses. Still the best in the league on the hit-and-run play and you never have to shout from the bench to tell him what to do with the ball"
 With Sisler for first, McManus for second, Gerber for short and Will Hams, Jacobson and Tobin in the outfield, third base is the only posi- tion where there will be any cori1- petition with the Browns this sprine.
