RUTH HITS WELL
WITH RIFLE

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. IL.
Babe Ruth and two companions
leave New Bern, N. c., today for
New York, after an eight-day
hunting trip, carrying with them
two deer, two geese and bag of
ducks.
The Yankee slugger, accom-
panied by Frank Stevens, conces-
sions operator, and John Herman,
sports writer, both of New York,
went to New Bern by automobile
from their camp a few miles south
of the North Carolina town.
1t was Ruth's fourth trip to
this area for hunting, and he de-
scribed it as "the best Of. the
four"
A permit from the county game
warden was necessary before the
New Workers could take game
from the state.

Would Be a Wrestler

And speaking of Snyder, did
YOU know he is ambitious to
become a wrestler? Having
heard of some of the success
of other college football play
ers upon the mat, Snyder
who is admirably built for a
wrestler's task, wishes to fol
low the footsteps of men like
"Big Wayne Mum, Gus Son
nenberg and Jim McMillen.
Should Joe Turner be look
ing for another local protege.
he could do worse than take
"Snitz" Snyder under his wing.
There is much in Snyder's
physique which is remindful
of the stature of Jim Londos.
Short, solid legs, and broad.
muscular shoulders tapering
gracefully to a typically ath-
letic waist, Snyder would not
be easy to shove around any
body's mat. :,
His local popularity, started
as a University of Maryland
gridiron star, would do any
thing except detract from his
drawing power as a wrestler:
And does that count IN the
wrestling dodge? You esk us!

BENEFIT FOR
GAMES
By GARRETT WATERS

Back from the wild and woody
West where he has attended
meetings galore during
he past two weeks, your Uncle
Clark Griffith was in a reStful
mood today as he discussed, re
viewed, and pointed out things
n regard to baseball and the
Washington Club for 1882.
"The major League meetings
were the most constructive in
several years." he unused.
"This, because everybody got
down to business and really
did things instead Of talking
about doing them.
Naturally the reducing of
players salaries for next year
was the most interesting, not
to mention important things,
to us magnateS. We want to
pay our performers well, still
we cannot afford to operate at
q loss, particularly when the
attendanceS continue to be as
low as they have been for the
past two seasons"
Then the cutting of the
player limit from rs to 23.
This will help the player as
we'll as the club. The rule
was made partly as an economy
measure and partly to give the
weaker clubs a chance to use
capable ball players, who, as
members of stronger teams
might see little action.
"AnOther thing accomplished
was the abOliShment Of the So
called synthetic double-headerS,
manufactured in the past by
moving up games to provide
attractive bargain bills. This
will not be permitted next year.
or at any other time, without
the consent of the presidents
of both leagues.
"The trade for Reynolds?
should say I'm tickled. i
think I've finally secured the
right.handed hitting Outfielder
I've sought for the past five
years. Well miss Hadley no
doubt, but Reynolds will make
this up by his punch-that is
if he keeps in condition.
"ThiS is where Mike Martin
comes in. Mike is famous for
his work of getting a player
into condition and keeping him
there. / think Martin is just
the doctor for Reynolds and
that knee of his which he hurt
last year"
"NO, I've nothing to announce
at the present time in regards
to more deals. / agree the
Washington club could use an
other pitcher, also a catcher to
help Roy Spencer. Still, 1 have
nothing to say right now"
Griff, during the next two
weeks, plans to busy himself with
The making out of contracts
which will be sent to his per
formers early next month. Also
games for the Griffmen's train
ing camp schedule will be ar
ranged ard completed.

Anyway, unless some unfore-

the teams have gotten organized

YANKEE STADIUM, Dec. IL.
The greatest gridiron spectacle Of
the year took place today when
a warm sun streamed down on
$4,000 spectators who had me
to see the Army and the Navy
play fer charity.
Invested with all of the pomp
and ceremony which is tradi-
tional part of the game and aided
by perfect weather the Navy and
the Army did their bit for the
unemployed today. A year ago the
post season game between these
two service teams was r.arked 7
a blase indifference on the part
of two teams which felt that they
had been forced into playing a
game which neither wanted.
Today they have recaptured the
martial ardor and do-or-die spirit
which marked the earlier games
in this series. Both teams were
out to win. and they didn't care
who knew it.
CAClu 1S OuAIIy
Although there was a sharp
crispnesS in the air and although
the sun lent its kindly aid the
field was a slippery sheath Of
slime, result of the rain of the
past three days. Mud is a great
leveler and the pre-game betting
which made the Army a favorite
shifted strongly before game time
to send these teams into battle
on even betting terms.
The huge Yankee Stadium,
which has echoed so often to the
roar of the crowd when Babe
Ruth's bat connected for one of
his Herculean clouts, never heard
a more spontaneous or heartfelt
roar than the one which broke
from $4,000 throats as the Cadet
Corps, 1,200 strong. marched into
the stadium. while the deep-blue-
clad West Point band, the snow
white flaps of their capes waving
in the breeze, played the stirring
strains of Slum and Gravy.
Welcome for Marchers
In they marched in meticulous
array. one Of the greatest march
ing bodies in the world. The
crowded stadium arose TO welcome
them and they wheeled smartly
under the south goalpost, without
breaking the even cadence Of their
marching.
Gray gloved hands swung in
perfect align; feet trod the turf of
the gridiron in perfectly measured
treads; jaunty bolero capes hung
from square shoulders-that is
what the crowd had come to see.
the game itself was to be clearly a
side show.
Then the regiment of Midship-
men swung jauntily through the
south gate, their quickened step
showing a joyous elan and buoy
ant verve which made the specta"
tors realize that these gorgeous
looking robots were merely young
sters after all who were having a
holiday.
They gave each other cheer,
dog-trotted into the stands. Cap
tain Price, of the Army and Cap
tain Tuttle, of the Navy, met in
the center of the field, flipped
a coin, and the battle was on.

 Hartford, Feb 3.--One of the most unique games in the history of Con- necticut basketball is scheduled for the beautiful New Buikeley Memor- ial auditorium here next Thursday night when the current edition or the Aetna Life girls will oppose the Aetna. Life Alumni.
 This will be contest between two teams we'll versed in the same style of play, both having been coached by Adrian Brennan. At the present time requests for reservations have been received from all over the state as well as New York and Massa- chusetts indicating that the fans are keenly desirous of watching this en- counter. between clubs that will use identical types of offense and the famed Aetna Life zone defense. under the direction of Catherine Connaughton, four times captain of Aetna teams and manager of this sea- sons five. Included in the Alumni roster are such we'll known players as Doris (Kaemmer) Flatow, Lillian Steudtner, Catherine Connaughton and Helen Frederick of the 1880 team, Annie Wiedikor, Ann (Cain) Cavanaugh, Anne McNevins, Dot Root and Tommy Taylor. The Misses Steudtner, Connaughton, Wiedikor. Frederick and Mrs Flatow and Mrs Cavanaugh were all members of the 1928 and 1929 teams that won the state and New England champion ship.

LORD FIGURED TO TURN TABLES ON
 M'CRATH THURS
Rival Lightweights Set for Action - Harmon : Lat- tanziO Looks Like Hot Number - Garren vs MellO

Despite the fact that he has el- ready beaten Eddie Lord in their previous and first encounter. local ring opinion, for the most part seems 70 be stringing along with the Oakville 'Frenchman against Patsy McGrath, prior to their scheduled ten round meeting tomorrow night in Buckingham hall. Those who have discussed the return seem to feel that Lord is the best of the two, and failed to take McGrath as ser- iously as he should have in their last meeting. until it was. too late and the lrishman jabbed out a de- cision, which was deserved but plenty close.
 In Waiting.
 Patrick Joseph has been hanging around the town for many weeks in anticipation of his return bout with Lord, which was all set last fall, until Eddie developed an in- lection that laid him up for a month O.. more. Were it not for his anxiety to fight Lord again, Patsy declares he would be firmly en- sconced in his palatial Palm Beach villa by this time. He made one statement that has had Lord at the boiling point for weeks, and that occurred when the Irishman charged Eddie with running out" of the last bout. At any rate the customers will see . good, old-fashioned slug ging bee, and that, Herkimer, IS what the ringworm has ever de- sired. McGrath can fight when he has to, and Lord is the just the boy that can make him do his best.
 Watch This One.
 Little Jackie Harmon will have no cake-walk with Freddy Lattanzio of New York in the semi-final, for a boy who can beat Black Bill and no pounders of his type is some body to be reckoned as plenty good enough to face the Waterbury French-Canadian protege of Lew
 Good Prelims.
 Then there's the Joe Red" Gar ren and Connie Mello bout which should be attractive enough for six rounds. The East End chauffer is in the throes of his fourth comeback attempt and feels that he will be quite successful against the dark skinned lad who has shown often in this city, generally to good ad- vantage. Naugatuck fans will have something to cheer about with Jack Mitchell ;n there against Sal Carta of Middletown a tough, experienced welterweiEht. Tony Laverio Of Bris- tol opens the show with Cassillo.

ford Hebrew knows he will be ex- tended to the limit in reversing things with the Baltimore Italian but, if prime condition and confi- dence have anything to do with vic- tory, then Kaplan is as good as the winner right now. Louis the Kid, who detests the long training grinds at fit himself for warfare, has been working more than two weeks in the gymnasium making ready for the supreme e fort of his career and it will be a highly conditio. ed. con- fdent gladiator that tears into the Italian with the sound of the open- ing bell.
 What About Kramer. Callahan?
 So confident is kaplan of victory that the thought of possible defea: hasn't entered his head. He ,':...- misses the fact that New Haven fans have placed him on the short end of 7-5 betting odds with a shrry of his shoulders for he knows those odds have been laid solely because New Haven fight fans have never seen him make an impressive show ing against a southpaw. However, the ease and decisiveness with which he outslugged Danny Kramer and Andy Callahan indicate that Kaplan is capable of holding his own with
