BUFFALO BISONS ON ARENA ICE TONIGHT

New Haven, March 5-The New Haven Eagles clash with the Buffalo Bisons in an, American League hockey game at the Arena tonight one which was postponed from January 1st. They follow this up by invading Springfield to take on the Indians Saturday, and then re- turn home on Sunday night to play host to the Cleveland Barons.
 Tonight's game should furnish some fine hockey and plenty of thrills, as the Bisons turned in a win over the Battle Birds last week here. However, New Haven con- tinued its great drive in the eastern division by trouncing Hershey by a score of 6 to here on Sunday.
 With big George Patterson back in the lineup, the Eagles have add ed power. Patterson played for a short time against Hershey, and rapped in a goal. It was his first appearance in uniform ill almost two months, having been sidelined because of a broken ankle.
 Sunday nights game against Cleveland will be the Eagles third last home start in regular league play, the Washington Lions com ing here on next Wednesday night and the Philadelphia Rockets clos ing the schedule week from Sun- day. Then starts the play-offs and the fight for the Fontaine Cup.

The Babe Becomes Young Again On Hollywood Lot
Special To The DemOCrat)

Hollywood Cal, March 5 - Babe Ruth is back in baseball.
 The big Bambino has dusted off his spikes and pulled his old, bat tered glove from the hook on the wall of his den. There's a new spring in the step of the slugger and a new glipt in his eye as he lines 'em over the fence again, even though it's only for the camera in Samuel Goldwyn's ''The Bride of the Yankees" the life of Lou Gehrig.
 The big, bad boy of baseball has just turned forty-eight, but except for a little grey nj his hair and a few more lines in his judgy face, he's still the same old Babe. He still has that big nose all over his face and the race horse ankles and the deep, sgruff voice that call everyone, 'Hiya, kid."'
 "Hiya, kid," he said. "It sure feels great to be back in uniform. You see this glove? It's the same one I played my last game of ball with. That was in 1885 with the Boston Braves. When I quit baseball, I hung it up on the wall of my den along with hundreds of memories of my ball playing days. And I never thought I'd ever use 1t again, but when I was packing to come out to the coast, I just got 8 feel ing about the old glove and threw it in the bag, along with my spikes"
 Took Of Plenty
 The Babe, who had reached the two hundred and eighty mark, cut down on his food for few weeks and looked fifty pounds lovelier by the time he reached the Goldwyn Studio. In fact, he had Topped for ty-three pounds of his weight and weighed in at about his usual playing poundage by the time the picture began rolling
 Ruth was right at home on the diamond at Wrigley Field. Bill Dickey, Yankee catcher, and Bob Meusel, former Yankee outfielder who played with him on the his- toric "Murderers' Row" team, were on hand to do their bit in the film along with twenty-five other for mer major league ball players.
 The greatest ball player of them all spent every minutes between scenes practicing with the extras, He bunted 'em and fielded 'em and looked as good as he did in all the years he was hitting the ball over the fence. Finally, a photog- raph asked him to really lean on one for an action picture and the Babe did, sending the first ball over the right field wall.
 T can still hit 'em as far as I ever did" the Babe said, but if I went back to baseball I'd have to hit only home runs because the old legs won't do what they used to ! don't think could get to first base in time, unless hit a scream ing triple. ''N'-
 But with the draft taking all hte young ones, who knows but what they may want us old bucks to come back to the game"

MAY Be Questioned

The wisdom OF Gov. Robert A. Hurley's
decision not TO preside at the hearing into
charges preferred against State Highway
Commissioner William ]. Cox may be ques-
toned during the days to come. Pressure
of-public business is terrific these days for
such men as the governor and the heads
Of our larger industrial cities, but so Sc
riouS Is the case that has been made
against Com. Cox that 1t does seem as II
every effort should be made to have had
the governor available for the hearings,
even If their daily duration had TO be cur
tailed.
True he will be well and ably represented
at the sessions and he will have full and
complete report Of the same, but we still
are finicky enough to believe that 1t isn't
quite the same as having the governor
right there in the Old Senate Chamber
when the case is heard and testimony is
presented both for and against the &C
cused. The law Is rather explicit, too, In
this matter, although we don't think that
the governor Is flouting the law In desig-
mating retired Supreme Court to appear
for him.
We are In an about war effort and
nothing should be allowed to interfere
with 1t. In this we agree that Gov. Hur-
ley'S hands should not be tied by the nec-
essity OF his devoting three or four hours
daily to hearing that promises to be ex-
tremely lengthy. The charges are so Sc
rious, though, that the presence Of the
states chief executive would seem to be
demanded, whether or not he could de-
vote full time to It, The nature Of the
hearing may bring this point out more
definitely as 1t Is prolonged.
