CROSBY
 GAME AT WILEY
 GYM THIS EVENING

With no tournament worries on the minds of the players. Crosby has an excellent opportunity to keep Warren Harding of Bridgeport out of the Yale play by handing them a defeat in league game this evening scheduled for the Wilby gym. Right now, the Park City outfit is supposed to be lon the fence" as far as it's selection for the Yale tournament Is concerned, and another defeat will just about crowd 1t out of the picture. Crosby's showing this season should be much better than it has been and with any shooting ability at aIl' would be contending for first or second place rather than having lost as many games as were won.
 Going South.
 Coach Billy SchofieId is on his way south for d well earned rest and the team will be directed by Frank Con roy who is familiar with the Scho- held style of play and the boys who play 1t. Harding is coming up with much better record than Crosby. but when the Blue ana White is clicking, which is seldom this sea son, no other team in the Naugatuck Valley league could be sure of a win. Io-night's game is very important to the Bridgeport boys, for they can still finish second and be sure of entry in the Yale tournament. next month. A preliminary game will be played at 7:30 o'clock. Admission 35 cents, Crosby A. A. tickets 15 cents

CLOCK, CHASE WON
 DUSTY CONTESTS

once again, the game that was figured to be all action turned out to be 0 "dud' in the Dusty hoop loop last night at the central Y. M. c. A. Playing like a group of gnomes, the Scovill outfit was buried under 35 to IT count by Carroll and company from the Clock shop. In the second game of the evening, the Telephone crew were edged out of a win by the Chase combine, a mar gin of six points. 30 to 24 separating the teams at the finish.
 Individuals
 In the Clock-Scovill game, the shooting and floor play of Harry Huey stood out while Mccormick s work for ScovilPs was noticeable for the lost cause. The Checkers started early and scored often rolling up a 19 to lead at half time, and out scoring their rivals throughout the game nearly three to one, the losers getting but five field goals all eve- ming. while each team counted seven times from the penalty stripe.
 Fairly Close
 Up to the last four minutes of the Chase-Telephone game, 1t was any play. Chase lead by point, IA to 13, at the big rest period, and kept ahead just enough in the last 20 minutes to offset six point spurt by the Phonies. Grady. School and Me- Carthy looked good for their respec- tive teams.

Adoption of the new dead" ball virtually ended Ruth's hopes of sur- passing his own major league record of 60 in a single season--a feat he believes he would have accomplished last year if he had not been handi- capped by injuries-but he is supremely confident that he can re- gain basebalrs slugging honors.
 Big Sixty
 Babe believes the dead" ball has made his 60-mark safe for all time and critics agree. Even if the new ball should turn out to be as lively as the old, they say. the larger stitching and heavier cover will im- cap the free swinging home run sluggers.
 However, Ruth maintains that the changed ball will be less handicap to him than to his rivals.
 q hit homers before the rabbit bali was introduced" "Tll still hit them with the new ball, but the wild swingers who have been dump ing homers over short fences will find plenty of trouble.'
 Desire to regain the home run crown has influenced Ruth to start training far in advance of other players. He took an intensive six week gymnasium training course and now is in Florida playing golf. When he reports for official training with the Yankees early in March he expects to be in the best condition of his career.
 The 1881 season will be Ruins last under his current contract, call ing for $80,000 per season, and the prospect of new contract negotia- tions next spring also are an im- portant factor in his efforts to make the 1881 season one of his best.
 Likes the Dough
 Ruth faces the realization that his chances of securing another $8O,0O0 contract are poor unless he has a great season. The Babe likes his huge paycheck almost as much as he does his home runs.
 Hack Wilson, Babes rival, also is making plans to capture the 1881 home run championship. His 1880 performance will net him approxi- mately $7O,000 in salary, endorse ments and side revenue.
 Confidence De Luxe
 When he signed his new contract with the Cubs, reported to call for a salary of s35,000, Wilson told President Bill Veech: T may not beat Babe out again this year, but I'll be in there swinging. If he hits moro homers than I do, he'll have to so some!"
