 Ruth injured his left leg when, dashing for home plate, he coilided with Charley Berry. Boston's buriy baskstop and former all-America football star. The Babe remained in the game but had to retire after ter Tom Oliyer's fly at the left field cliff.
 Newspaper men admitted for a i've minute visit to the big room on the third floor of the hospital thsi morning found the celebrated slug ger lying Hat on his broad back. puffing . cigar with evident enjoy ment and apparently suffering no severe pain.
 By the bedside were two huge wreaths. one six feet high and bear tng q red banner with the word success" on 1t, which had been presented to Manager "Shono" Col lins of the Red Sox yesterday and which he had sent to Ruth.
 Also at the beside were Mrs Ruth an attractive brunette, and two spec iai nurses. The Babes wife had been there almost constantly since he was put to bed.
 Ruth's injured log, unba ndaged, was covered with wooden frame to keep the bedclothes from pressing ont 1t. Otherwise there was little to indicate that he was recovering from what might have been ser ious accident.

 Dr Newton explained that in case such as Ruth's there was little that n doctor could do.
 "It's something that nature has to cu..e," he said, and about all we can do is to see that the patient gets the necessary rest"
 Ruth indicated that upon his discharge from the hospital he would go home for a rest instead of accompanying his teammates to Washington.
 ''Its quite job to keep him in bed," Mrs Ruth said. Hes aw- fully uneasy"

|MURELLI PROVES
 EASY VICTIM FOR JACK PILKINCTON
New York Featherweight Makes Good Showing Before Small House Hall Lost But Won

He's too smart" That terse and rather timely remark came from Lou Murelli of Torrington directly after he lost a decision to Irish Jackie Pilkington of New York by several city blocks last night at the Waterbury arena. Whats more, 1t just about sizes up the situation In a nutshell, for Pil- kington boxed and punched his way to the win in rather easy fashion. considering the fact that Murelli was constantly '1n there" trying to get started. However. Pilk was en- tireiy too fast, clever and quicker on the leather than his opponent. though Mureili made n good show ing against the able New York
 lightweight managed by MT Al West Weill.
 Won In Q Walk
 The bout was not two rounds old before pinkington's class be- gan to assert itself, and though ne did not seem to be in the best of condition, his work was quite up to DHBs WHll0 DCbk tttAb Nhh "s said for Murelli is that he proved to be a tough boy with plenty of courage and stamina. Jackie scaled
 136 1-2, Mureili. 1S9.
 In my humble opinion, one Pete Laratonda of New York got very much the worst of a decision given against him in favor of Buster Hall q classy piece of fighting ma :. chinery from New Rochelle, and known to the trade as "the Virgin
 in Kid" His neat boxing and coun- ter punching must have influenced Referee Bill Conway no little, but at was Pete's agressiveness and hard, solid wallops that made the fight from start to finish, only to count for nothing.
 Rip Was Tapped
 spilling his opponent in the very first round, Harry Ryder. the cof- fee-nnd- cream colored boy punched his way to q fve-round win over Rip Fragapano of New York. who went back to New York with q fractured jaw. following q jost from Ryder's right in the third round.
 Rip opened up now and then to
 make things decidedly hot for liar
 ry. but could not keep up the pace during the last two sessions. Eddie Carr of this city punched out q
 four round win over Eddie JesSup of Torrington in q slam-bang open ing number which went the limit:
 The boys put on the best bout of the card, which was witnessed by about $50 fans.
 Jimmie Patcrnoster, the Newlng- ton featherwcight had no trouble
 outpointing Irish Jimmy Hughes of New York fin a fve-round go.
 Hughes was far from the class of the young Italian who can beat far better opposition that Hughes
 proved to be. Knowing he had the fight won in the second round. Jimmy leased up" on the other

The Armistice day spirit pre- vailed at the alleys Wednesday night. The noise made by the members of the teams reminded one of the celebration which this town of ours put on some 13 years ago following the announcement that Kaiser Bill said Uncle" and quit.
 Jimmy trays outfit was nosed out of first place due to losing three points to Bill Growers trap pers, while the Nelson steam roi- lers weer collecting three from the D'Velskig' Dare Devils. There is only one point sepaarting the lead- CTS from Bus Wallace's team who had a perfect night at the expense of Ray Mills Collar Ads. The Pray & Galllpeau outfits are also in on the second tie.
 The league is composed of one hundred men and one considers that during the course of tho bOwl- ing season each man in the league becomes very personally acquainted with the other %, he quickly rec alizcs the reason so many of the employees know each other as Tom, BiIl, Jack, etc, even though tho business of tho CLAP Co is of such . nature that It's employees are scat- tered over Q very wide area.
 Hugo Lange, who keeps the Nau- gatuck house wives well informed as to the most modern electric and gas appliances, had no trouble winning the high three prize. His 376 was too much for the rest of the boys. Alta boy, Dutch"
 The name of Hugo Lange turns our memory back from these days of frozen radiators to 6 day when fairways were green, the greens were smooth and the rough was rought. On such day we were one-quarter of 6 foursome of which Hugo, Frank Byrncs and Frank Mellon made up the remaining 76 per cent. Hugo, who had only played the Scotch game a few times had sliced into the rough. He spent so much time looking for the darn ball that Frank Mellon. who was Hugo's partner. told him that his (Hugo's) bag of clubs would be incomplete until he ada ed Q rake to the set. We are go- ing to add one to our own set. Hugo.
 It didn't take l.. V. Clark, the new assistant manager of the Wa terbury district, who was formerly connected with the New Britain district, long to join the league af- ter his arrival in town. The league welcomes you l.. V. and by the way we think you are starting out on the right foot. There is no bet ter way of becoming acquainted with the rest of the gang.
 We have Ole Marte1, the leagues dynamic secretary, to thank for the averages. Knowing they arc the llfc's blood to every bowler, Ole burned the oil far into thc night to get them out in time that's what makes 1t . great league, Ole.
 Bob Lagerquist's l35 in the sec ond game was not enough to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for his team but 1t was enough to cop the iron offered for high single. You sure topplcd the wood in that game, Bob.

Name another member of the league whose expression while bowling entities him to the name of "P0ker face bowler? I'll make it easier. This popular member of our Big Five should finish 1-2-S in in- dividual averages. You don't know How easy! Mir Dente, of course.
