Born in Marbury, Ala, where he
still makes his home during the off
season, George Grant looks every
bit an athlete. He has played base
ball and football, dabbled a bit in
track and basketball. but leans to
the great American pastime as his
favorite sport.

HE gave me plenty of chances :
to develop as a football player.

high. 1t was my pleasure or
nlisIOrtune--I don't know which
to call ito play against Red
Roberts, of Centre.
= Anyhow / had the task OF try
ing to stop that demon when he
moved back to the fullback post on
the offensive. Lots of times I got
him and lots of times l didn't. Yet
1 don't think Red made such great
game against us.
ut was more on the defense that
he starred. Remember he was al
ways used at end when Centre =
opponents had the ball and, believe
me. he proved himself, to my salts
faction at lea st, that he was one
sweet end. 1t was uncanny the
way that fellow could charge
through and smear interference.
while / don't have any figures

think our team gained foot of
ground around the end Red was
guarding. And it wasn't only
around his end, but that fellow could
charge through, skirt the back OF
the line and nail the runner from
the rear. I've watched him do that
many and many time.
II have heard a lot about the
great ability of Red Grange. l re-
gret never having seen him play.

GAS far as my observation OF
football goes. from playing it and
as a spectator. / prefer a player
who can do everything. I've been
told that Grange did nothing but
run with the ball. Seldom did he
tackle unless 1t was absolutely nee

BABE: TELLS
[)FRECOR[)S
He WANTS
By Babe Ruth

NEW YORK, July r.
There are three things I'd like
to accomplish before | close
out my big league career
Chief and foremost, I'd like to
establish life time record OF
500 home runs.
Thus far I have nearly $50 and
with any sort of break ought
20 reach that one very easily.
OF course in this game man
never knows how long he will last
ar how soon something may happen
~ mt him out of the game for
rood. I'm getting old. know
that. But with any sort of break
1 figure II ought TO have many more
good wears. and. if do III, have
nv 500 home runs sure as the
world.
Then. I'D like to break my
present homesrMn record. That's
NJ nine. and I'VE got a hunch
that / may do it this year.
TEms far I'm away to a good
sfart. I'm half way there now
hs.a the season isn't vet i1alt
over. But keeping up the pace
Ia the finish is tough. but III
be in there trying.
The third thing / want to do IL
get hack the season record Tor runs
driven i'm. Lou Gehrig took that
one away from me last year Wnen
he drove IT'S runs across the plate
during the season. If anyone THINKS
that's not a lot of runs they can
get a bet out of me. It's quite e
mark. 1 had hoped to beat Il TINS NE
year. But I'm not so sure ! VIII.
And the Gehrig is right behlno Ins
II, that department, too, ana WhetIleL
break the record or not, Lou Woil !
be So easy to head off. That poy
can hit. make no llstake apoul
that. III there's any one IN eiiner
league who will ever beat my. ne ,t.
tir,e total for home runs L oug1I
to be Lou. He alread has z. gooh
start and he's just KID. ne nas
a. lot Of years OF good 1885,
LEFT and I know he'll be out ttlsre
snacking them over the renee 1oE
q good many years yet.
I'VE cot another little mark
ia like to establish. too. Ia
ike 10 play I'm ten world series
before 1 finally hand up my UNI
form. I've already been IN
eight and this fall, IL the YAM
lees win. ii will be nine. Looks
as though they might do It.
Some wears ago / announced thar
when l had been in ten world
series / was going to quit baseball.
I'm not so sure about that now.
when a fellow is young, with his
career still ahead of him, it's easy
Is say that you're going to quit
when YOU reach certain age. But
the nearer you come to that age
the tougher it seems. There
something about baseball that gets
in your blood-and it isn't easy to
quit. Ty Cobb can tell you about
that. Iris Speaker and a lot Of
other old-timers who have decided
many times to quit-but haven't
yet got around to it.
I'll probably stay in there as long
as can. When I'm through there
are a few records l hope 10 have
in my possession. Those L told you
about above are the main ones.
And If can accomplish them
they ought to stand for quite awhile.

Alderman Nair, having had much experience as a presiding officer in lodges and also in the council. he is expected to prove we'll qualified to step in at any time and officiate.
 Friends of the mayor and the al- derman see a great deal of simi- !arity in the circumstances which have surrounded them in their pc- litical activity. Mayor Paonessa had a hard fight on his hands to obtain the councilmanic nomination in his first attempt 17 years ago and time after time since then he has been hard pressed i'll his endeavors to gain his points. He has had his set- backs-more often probably than the average citizen of the city knows-and his doses of the bitter with the sweet have been severe at times. Alderman Nair has had op- position in the ward primary prac- tically every time he has been a candidate. principally because of the large republican regist ration in the first ward which produces a wealth of councilmanic timber year after year, and before he became alder man he suffered a defeat in a pri- mary at the hands of Cornelius J
 Dehm. Like the mayor. however. he |. has been persistent and determined, pushing forward against heavy odds until he has become the first man of his nationality to attain the high office of president pro tempore.

GOVERNMENT HEADS ARE FOREIGN BORN
PaoneSsa a Native Of Italy and
 Nair of Russia

For the first time in the history of the city, the chief executive and the president pro tenn. of the com- mon council are natives of countries other than the United States, fact that is being quite generally conn., mented on not only in New Britain but about the state. Mayor Angelo NJ. PaoneSSa, who was born In Italy and reached the shores of the coun- try of his adoption without any ad- Nantases Of birth or education, and Alderman David l.. Nair, a native of Russia, who also was obliged to work hard for his place in the scheme of things, happen to be of opposite political beliefs. but their progress in the government Of the city has been made in q manner that has placed them before the public on many occa sions. Alder i man Nair a veteran member of the ! common council. was signally hon. orod al the April meeting by re- cciNns the unanimous support of the entire body the democratic members endorsing him following his nomination for president pro tempore by the republican caucus. , Throughout his long period Of service as councilman and alder man from the sixth ward. prior to his election as mayor in 1929. the 1 present chief executive was an az . ever ready to fight for the measures he sponsored or supported. Needless to say, he trod on the toes of many officials and offended persons whose views did not coincide with those held by him, but he also won the plaudts of a large number who Hooked to his banner when he de- clared his readiness to make a fight for the office of mayor. His return 10 power this year after having been defeated two years ago was one Of the most spectacular events in the political history of the mu- nicipality.
 Alderman Nair entered the com mon council in 1922 after contest
 
 in the republican primary in the first ward. and at once became active in committee work. He served as chairman of the claims committed and later was one of the best chair men the ordinance committee evei had. in the opinion of his col leagues. He devoted great deal ot time to the work of the latter com mittee on account of the importa nee of the zoning ordinance and tho building and plumbing codes, and his record of attendance at meet ings of the council and the various committees Of which he has beer a member has seldom been cqualled
 Although Alderman Nair will have few opportunities of presiding over the affairs Of the city as acting mayor if Mayor Paonessa main lains the record he made durins his previous administrations, fo remaining on the ground week il
