nj Those two boon companions,
Babe Ruth and Col Jacob
Rupert are busy brushing up
their lines for another battle Of the
fountain pens.
At ST. Petersburg in 1880, the doughty
owner of the Yankees finally cornered
his prize bludgeoner and virtually forced
him to sign a contract for two years
at 10000 per-
Now it's time for another one. The
famous st. Petersburg document has
run its course, and the colonel and
the Babe have started light training for
the forthcoming fray. Each is reported
to have dispatched his most trustworthy
scouts to snoop around the rival camp
and find out what, if anything, Is on
the others mind.
Yankee headquarters today sent out
what amounted to the opening Jab at
the worlds highest salaried athlete, who
is occupied right now with series Of
movie shorts in Hollywood.

Minnesota After

a TTtANTA, November 2o.-There
"A is talk down here that Mime
sota Is going to invite Bernie
Bierman, Tulane tutor, to return to
his alma mater to coach foot ball
next year. If this happens, and
Bierman accepts, the loss to Tulane

severe.
Bierman is one Of the exact drill
masters of the game, and this was
reflected in. the excellence Of the

game with Georgia. Upon'a sound
basis structure has been built q

out of the famous Minnesota shift

Piscataway Greek is drawing the most

daily with fishing boats. OF course, all

more than their share. And some of
the fish kept have been just about the
legal size and not even a half inch over.
Two of these anglers must have had

me 1t seemed like baby snatching."

did not come up to requirements. How
ever. they we're all evidently highly
priced by their captors and retained.
My fishing companion, like myself, did
not catch a fsh. Naturally we looked
with envious eyes at the strings dis
played on the wharf. My companion
asked the angler with the largest string
to sell him o couple of the bass. The
request was refused point blank, with
the statement that the majority of
them were promised.
Piscataway is full of bass, it seems,
but q large majority are just about
legal size, or little over 10 inches in
length. Rod and Stream would like
to see the anglers keep only the large
bass and return to the water those
measuring 10 or IL inches Give the
little fellows a chance to grow at least
