AGUE BOWLERS PILE UP SOME BIG ' SCORES — WALTER KOP‘FA.| RS HAVE SIGNED — ESTABLISHES RECORD SIGNING OF RUTH PLEASES RUPPERT Yanks' President Believes Babe Will Set New Home Run Record New York, March 7.—Colonel Ja- cob Ruppert, president of the New York Yankecs, expressed yesterday his deep personal pleasture that the New York, March 7.—(By Associat- ed Press)—George Wright, star short- slop of the Cincinnati Red Stockings, played throughout the entire season of 1869 for a salary of $1,200, The Ied Stockings played 57 games that year of which they won 56 and tled one, a record which has never been duplicated. Wright was the highest paid member of the team. Babe Ruth, home run hitter extra- ordinary, signed on Saturday a con- tract with the New York American league club which will net him ap- negotiations hetween the American league champlond” and the champion slugger of all time, Babe Ruth, had been brought to a conclusion that as- sured the services of the home-run artist for at least three more vears to the team with which he first attained country-wide fame, “A few days ago,” said the Colonel, “T communicated with Colonel Hus- ton, telling him what my idea was of the extreme concessions that we should make in rounding out a new contract with the Babe. Although 1 do not yet know the exact terms of the three-year arrangement made in Hot Springs, I am already certain that they do not exceed the ‘igures that I forwarded as representing what I would be disposed to regard as fair to hoth parties fnvolved. “All the details of the transaction are now in the mails and should reach us tomorrow morning. In the course of the day the contract based on the agreement reached by Colonel Hus- ton and Ruth will be drawn up and promptly forwarded to New Orleans for the signature of the Babe. As now arranged it covers the seasons of 1922, 1923 and 1924, but our priv- ilege of a renewal for two years will certainly be exercised provided Ruth remains anything like the attraction that he has been fér the last two years." In conneetion with the nreparation of the contract, Colonel Ruppert indi- cated that the terms might he made public when the agreement was on paper. Then he went on to talk about Babe's home run chances for 1922, Tooks for New Mark. “I realize the deep interest that wil! prevail during the coming pennant campaignein Ruth’s efforts to break his own home-run record of 59 four- base blows and also the tremendous handicap against which the Babe will be laboring in view of his puspension. However, it appears to me that he may quite possibly set new figures, not only despite the fact that a her- cilean attempt will be required but even hecause of {t. The tempera- ment of Ruth is such that the handi- cap existing because he will not be allowed to get under way until the month of May is two-thirds gone may spur him to almost superhuman of- forts to overcome it, He will have about twenty weeks in which to pum- mel the ball, and I should be not at all surprised if he averaged ‘upward of three four-base slams a week. “I expect now to go South myself about the middle of the current month, probably on_the 18th or 19th, and shall be In New Orleans in time to sce the first exhibition game be- tween the Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals. Information reachirg me by letter and wire leads me to believe that 1 shall find Babe Ruth in bet- ter condition then than he has ever showed at the same date since he has been a member of the New York Amricans.” FONSECA SIGNS CONTRACT.

Cincinnati, March 7.—Louis I‘on- seca, an infielder, came to terms yes- terday with President August Herr- mann of (he (fincinnati Nationals nnd signed a contract to play with the Reds.

If continued for the full five years, George Herman Ruth will receive a total of nut less than $375,000. Game Has Developed These figures give an idea of the development of professional baseball in this country during the past 60 years. They also are the cause of fre- quent conferences hehind closed doors in which baseball magnates argue the question whether they are buiiding a salary Frankenstein which will in the end turn and destroy what has been in the past a rcasonably profitable business. Big league baseball club owners will not discuss publicly this subject except in the most abstract way. It is the consensus of opinion as expressed by the magnates, how- ever that the situation is serious, Salarics Total $2,000,000 1t is estimated that the salary lists of the 18 clubs of the two malor leagues will aggregate more than $2,- 000,000 this season. The maximum figures for any one club are placed at about $225,000 and the minimum at a trifle over $100,000, To this expense must be added ground and travel charges, local and state federal taxes; interest on mortgages,’ officers and clerical salaries and ~other charges such as advertising, ticket printing and supplies. S0. MANCHESTER TO BE OPPONENTS WED. Staten Trade School Quintet Has One More Game Beforc Final Serfes The New Britain State trade school will meet South Manchester trade school Wednesday evening in what will probably be the last league game before the championship series. In the last game the local team by a single point defeated the South Man- chester boys. However, the team is now in good form again. Both Patrus and E. Anderson should be back in the linenp for tomorrow's game. The tocals feel fairly’ confident of defeat- ing South Manchester and have been working hard for the past two weeks. Witham and Kamenicky have been showing rapid development and it will be a toss up as to who goes into the left guard place. Patrus and Capt. Swanson make a fast aggressive com- bination and backed up by H. Ander- son playing at center, it will take upusually fast work to take the ball away from them. QGames arebeing arranged with New Haven for the champlonship serfes. The standing of the teams in the Northern section is as follows.

Boston, March 7.—Three holdouts from the Red Sox have developed to date, dispatches from the training camp at Hot Springs, Ark., say Mike Menosky, Elmer Myers and Al. Wat- ers are at odds with the club, all on salary terms, it is understood. Sports writers found in a golf match between Harry H. Frazee, president of the Red Sox and Col. Tillinghast Houston, part owner of the Yankees arranged for today at the Arkansas resort, a suggestion that Menosky might be made a subject of trade to fill the carly season gap in the New York outfield caused by I3abe Ruth's suspension. “Punk” McDonald, of Lynn, & Red Sox recruit, had the honor of being the first man to knock the ball over the fence yesterday. Harvey len- drick, former Vanderbilt university football star, an outfield prospect, has been added to the roster. BROWNS YANNIGANS WIN. Jimmy Austin's Hitting 1s Big Fea- ture in the Victory.

INTER-CITY RIVALS WEET HERE TONIGHT Kaceys and West End Fives Primed for Battle at State Armory The West End basketball team of Bristol, accompanied by a delegation of rooters will invade this city this evening, bent on winning the second game of the series with the Kaceys, With one victory ko far stowed away, the Bell Town quintet is filled with confidence that the second will be piled up this evening. Have Speedy Forwards The visitors will present in the line- up tonight two players ‘who are.to make their debut on the local armory floor. They are Murphy and Teagle, and judging from the form displayed in recent games, the Kaceys' defen- sive men are in for a busy night of it Murphy is a product of Naugatuck, and is rated as one of the best per- formers ever turned on the berough. Teagle, for several seasens starred with the Mertden High school team, and he is said to be even better now than ever. Football Star in Lineup Dewey Carpenter, fullback of the Nutmegs football champions last sea- son, is playing a whale of a game for the West Ends, He is also one of the bulwarks of the Travelers team of Hartford. Fans who have witnessed Bill Sheehy, the Waterbury Kaceys' star in action, usually get a thrill when he starts down the floor with the ball. When it comes to juggling the ball, Sheehy is without a peer, unless it is our own Johnny Sheehan who can be classed with him. Downs has shown heré on numerous occa- sions, and while not a flashy player, he is a good defensive man, who can also fing 'em. Locals in Fine Fettle Although the Kaceys only played one game last week, the team has kept in trim, and last night held & fine practice for tonight's contest. New Britain and Hartford The preliminary game will be oné of the New Britain-Hartford affdirs, when the Y. M. C. A. Juniors stack up against Memorial Baptist church quintet of Hartford.

Wallie, s a brother of the more famous Billy Kopf, and while it does not seem as though he has much of a chance of beating out such a séasoned perform- er as Frank Frisch for a regular berth, some club is bound to benefit by his greatly improved playing next season. There is some talk that he will be found in the infield with the Waterbury team of the Eastern league this season. Manager Billy Gile bert of the Brasscos, is an ex-Glant, and is now with the team in Texas. QGilbert will no doubt get several play- ers from friend Mc¢Graw, when the pruning season opens.
