PIRATES NEED ONE MORE
 WIN TO CLINCH PENNANT
Interest of Fans Centers Babe Ruths Effort to Break Record - Cardinals Lose to Cincinnati In Close Game-Boston Red Sox Set Back Athletics Philadelphia Nationals Romp Over Boston Braves Pittsburgh Has Three Games to Go.
.y the Associated Press.


 Baseball interest was divided to- day between Babe Ruths effort to establish a new home run record and the closing maneuvers in the National league race, where the Pittsburgh Pirates need only one more victory to clinch the flag, all though St. Louis and New York are not altogether out Of the running.
 Ruth yesterday tied his 1921 rec ord of 50 home runs when he belted the ball out of the stadium in the fifth inning of the Washington game which New York won, l5-4. The bases were loaded at the moment and Paul Hopkins. q recruit, was pitching. Ruth's 5Sth circuit smash came in the first inning with the bases empty and Horace Lisenbee on the mound.
 More than 10000 fans jumped to their feet and acclaimed the Babe as his 59th scared over the right held wall In the seventh Ruth caromed the ball off the right field wall for a triple and in the ninth he drove a towering fly to right which came down a few feet inside the playing field and into fielders hands.
 The captain of the home run in dustry has two more game to play against Washington and is confident he will get his 60th homer before the curtain is rung down on the American league season.
 Much of the tenseness In the Ma tional league race passed out yester- day when Cincinnati clapped on G-2 beating to the St. Louis Card inals With Pittsburgh players in the stands the Reds got to Frank house, Texas league recruit, for all their runs in the fourth. Aside from that inning. ~Frankhouse, who had won his first five starts in fast con- pany, was well-nigh invincible.
 If either New York or St. Louis Is to get into the running the Pirates must drop all three games at Cln- cinnati. Should that improbable upset occur and the Giants win their three games and the Cardinals Win the two they have left to play, all three teams would be in a final tle National league rules require that in such an event series of nine games must be played to determine the winner. That would hold up the world series for 10 days or longer.
 Two other games were played yesterday in the majors. In the American, Philadelphia. ran up against tartar in Bradley, Eastern league recruit, who pitched the Bos- ton Red SoN to a 6-1 victory The Mackmen obtained only five hits. Cantrel. q new addition to the Philadelphia hurling corps. was nicked 14 times.
 The Philadelphia Nationals romp- cd over the Boston Braves, 1-1. Kent Greenfield was ineffective, the Quakers pounding him for 13 hits and seven runs in the first seven ln- nings. Ray Miller, young pitcher from Syracuse. kept his hits scatter

League Formed to Play Prelimi-
 nary Games to Main Contests

small and compact basketball league of junior teams is being planned by the Boys club manage ment to furnish prcliminaries to the games of the Boys club first team on Monday nights during the coming winter. It Is thought that a four team circuit will be best, as then all teams can play each week. the first game getting under way immediate ly after o'clock and being followed In quick succession by the second contest and then the main attrac- ton Of the evening.
 The Boys Club Reserves will be entered in this league if it material lzes, as will the South Church Re serves. II seems likely that the State Trade school will send in it's second team, and fourth entry is now be- ing sought. Superintendent Dwight skinner Of the club is considering the possibility ot procuring this last quintet from the '. M. C. A. The league will give some Of the young CT players of the city q, chance to play regular games, and a trophy will be offered 10 stimulate interest
 The Boys club first team has not been able to get under way yet. as Coach Ray Anderson recently under went in operation and is not yet back on duty, He is expected 10 re- turn Monday, and then practice will begin Tn earnest. A light physical workout Of the candidates was held !aSt evening.
 With the return of Anderson the work O pr pairing the schedule will he pushed. Mir. Skinner is negotiat- ing with Boys club teams in other cities and with other quintets rep rcscuting definite organizations in an Hort to avoid playing pickup" or Independent and undcpendable ;oams as far as possible. A home and-home series with the Trinity college junior varsity is the first pair O. games definitely arranged.

HIGH SCHOOL HAS
 FINAL PRACTICE
New Britain Meets Pittsfell Hi5b on Saturday Afternoon

The last hard worko out of the week in preparation for the opening Of the football season took place at Willow Brook park last evening when the first and second football teams of the New Britain High school locked horns in a scrimmage The initial game will be played Sat urday at Memorial field in Willow Brook park against the Pittsford High school team of Vermont.
 The Vermont squad will arrive in this city tonight and will have the benefit of a good nights sleep at the homes of the high school players be- fore they take off, for Vermont Sunday.
 The team that will represent New Britain in the opening game of the season will not be as heavy as last years team. Every man in the back field of this years eleven is lighter than last years men with the pos sible exception of the fulback.
 The line is more evenly matched SCully is heavier than McGrath of last years team. kuhs is lighter than Ericson and Reckert is lighter than Bruce. The left tackles are about the same in weight but last years right tackle, Bromberg. is heavier than Nevulis, who is this years choice for the place. This years ends are heavier.
 Coach Cassidy is paying much at tention to his second team which is expected to be in the game for a great part of the time tomorrow. In scrimmage last night, Captain John Ericson and Coach Cassidy stayed on the sidelines and studied the teams. Some of the seconds are showing much promise.
 The second backtield is showing up strong. Urban, the fullback, prob ably is showing the most grit on the team. Called upon time after time to buck the heavy first team line, he never fails and although he is hit hard he comes back for more. Bell is still playing a good game, but he is out of his position at present. Ed Hennessey has been playing quarter back, and it is the opinion of many that his position is halfback and that Bell should be in at quarterback. Mike Grip, the other halfback. is a strong defensive man.
 Ladislaus Arzylowicz, and Gun nard Nelson, ends, are showing up well. The former is playing a won derful brand of football and is giv- ing Zehrer and Netrano regular ends, the battle of their lives. Many are wondering why Ed Hinchey, d speedy man, is not given a better chance to show his stuff on the sec- ond team.
 Iic is considered one Of the fastest backs on the squad, but since the beginning of the season he has had little opportunity to get beyond the third team. He would give the first team ends something to think about If he were given a chance. many believe.
 The officials will be as follows: Dr. Frank Zwick, referee: Ralph Fenton Iof Springfield umpire; and David Mahoney, head linesman.

SWEENEY ID PLAY
 SWEETSER SUNDAY
Club Championship Finals to Be
 Staged at Shuttle Meadow

Bill Sweeney and Alan Sweetser will battle it out Sunday on the
 Shuttle Meadow Golf course in the final match in the club champion ship tournament. Both golfers came through the qualifying and follow ing rounds to defeat all opposition.
 Bill is q veteran at the club of many stiff golf battles. He is de- lending his championship won last year which gives him one leg on the
 presidents cup. He has seen serv- ice in most of the state tournaments played in recent years and his work brought him state recognition in the form of a place on the Connecticut
 State Golf te9m.
 Last year he was in exceptional
 form in the club championship
 tournament. He wadcd through all the opposition to win the finals and since that time he has been showing excellent golfng form.
 His opponent, Baby Peggy
 Swcctsor q recent threat in the
 ranks of golfers at the club. showed
 last weel; that he is q contender for
 the best that the club can offer. In his play in the scmi-linals. he was
 ettionally good and during the week he has been keeping up the
 good work. In meeting Sweeney
 he has a chance to enter the shut tie Meadow hall of fame by defeat
 ing last years champion. Swcetser has been shooting very carefully and his line of birdies and par marks has given Bill plenty to null over during he past week.
 Sweeney yesterday expressed con- ndonce in his ability to set the youngster back His best asset is his ability to fight to the last ditch. | IL is said about Sweeney that he never gives up. Even though he has i been down in various tournaments, ! he has always come through by 1 sheer grit to either win or make his
 opponent travel at top speed right i through to the 18th hole.
 He was a bit off form in his semi i final match on the first nine but he i picked up when the battle became
 tense and won out at the 18th hole
 with a great finish. He cannot af- ford 10 slip at any time in the match with "Raby Peggy" Sunday because | if Swectsor continues with his great golf. Sweeney will find the handicap
 of losing q few holes, too much for
 him.
 Tho match on Sunday will be a SC 1 hole affair. Play in the morning will start at 9:15 o'clock. All records i for golf galleries at Shuttle Meadow will be broken because the. interest in the match this year is greater than it ever has been.

The Naval Observatory property Is
divided into two portions, one of
which contains 700 acres and lies
south of the outer rim of the circle.
The other portion Is just east of Mas
%acluaettS avenue in the vicinity of
the circle and contains 400 acres.
That portion Of the Industrial Home
School property which the Observa-
terry will take over contains six and
a fraction acres.
The bin also authorizes the Com
mssioners to dispose of the remainder
of the Industrial Home School site
and to deposit the proceeds in the
Treasury to the credit of the District
and made available for the purchase
of a new site and the erection of suit

BUILDING PROGRAM
WILL START SOON
New Commerce Structure
May Be Begun Last of
This Month.

First actual operations on the site
of the mammoth new home of tht
Department of Commerce, to bt
reared between Fourteenth and FIT
teenth streets, stretching northwart
toward the Avenue, will probably be
started the last of this month. wher
surveyors and boring machines vii
begin their labors of surveying the
site and determining the kind of sub
soil into which the huge foundations
VIII go.
Bids for the survey, boring and test
pits to disclose the character or the
underground will be opened at pm
March 10 in the office of the supervls
ing architect Of the Treasury
Progress is being made also on plans
for the actual building itself. Louis
Ayres of New York City. a member OF
the firm Of York & Sawyer, architects
who have been engaged to make pre-
liminary studies and sketches, Is IN
the CITY and went into conference yes
terday with officials.
Much Interest i'm Building.
Occupying as II does commanding
position on the end of the great trl-
angle to be filled eventually with Gov
eminent buildings, under the present
MAN. the Department of Commerce
home has been receiving the most serl-
Gus consideration on the part OF all
persons concerned.
The work for which bids will be
ouened March 10 includes the first
actual operations on the ground. Lines
will be run to determine where the
building actually would be placed, the
topography Of the surface, the con-
tour of the slope will be plotted.
nd q
will have definite data on which to
proceed further.
Although the character of the SUD
soil has not been determined definitely
I'm that particular site, 1t IS known
by engineers that most OF the land IN
that general vicinity was formerly
swamp, and consequently probably
without rock foundations on which TO
rest the enormous structure. Piles
will have to be driven into the soft
underpinning in all probability ac-
cording to the informed estimates
which have been communicated to the
congressional committees looking into
the building program.
Character Monumental.
In determining the character of the
elIbsoil. not only will boring machines
be brought into play but several test
pits' will be dug by shoveis to disclose
it's exact nature. 1t is thought all
this surveying and testing work may
start shortly after the contract is let,
providing the weather permits.
First actual construction may be
started at the north end of the build
ing. it has been estimated. even before
the temporary building housing In
ternal Revenue Bureau employees is
moved off the site of the Commerce
building.
The great structure has been de-
soribed officially in the words, IAN
