The’| umpire waved Ruth out of the game and the Babe for the first time in his career as a star heard the deliberate concerted boos of baseball fans. A big voiced individual in the stand yelled something and Babe lost con- trol of his temper. He went over the dugout and into the stands. The offender, reported to be a New York Central railroad con- ductor, fled. Babe's misdemeanor was reported to league headquarters and today he was awaiting the verdict and the sen- tence. It appeared that Babe would draw another suspension or a heavy fine or both. TRACK TEAM MEETS RIVALS TOMORROW Coach Delaney Confident That Local Athletes Will Win Meet Tomorrow is the big day for the New Britain High school track team. It Is the day of the Triangular meet wherein the local boys will stack up against their bitterest rivals, the Hart- ford High and the New Haven High track teams, The meet will start at 2 o'clock in the afternoon daylight saving time, Events Scheduled.

Locals’ Chances. Postmaster William F. Delaney, coach of the local team, in summing up the chances of his charges for winning the meet, feels confident that they will do justice to his expecta- tions. He is not over confident that the Jocal boys will win first honors, because there are a number of events which are scheduled, particularly the long distance runs, in which the local boys have not shown up to good ad- vantage. He is confident, however, that his crew will try their hardest to beat the other two schools and thinks that with the local hoys giving the best that is in them, New Britain will stand an excellent chance to cop | \ Charlie Pilkington, the former Mer- iden idol, will meet Bert Spencer -of Brooklyn, in a 12-round bout at lockaway this evening.

Delaney is counted on to make the field step in the 100 yard dash. He has been improving his running style and his speed at every practice session, and in competition at the Trinity and Yale Interscholastic games, he showed marked ability to outrun anything that either New Haven or Hartford put in the field. He failed to place in the 100 yard dash in New Haven because he was penalized for a false start, but he came back and won a wonderful race in the relay. High and Broad Jump. Cooley, the local high jumper is ex- pected to win points in his event. He has jumped against the' best that Hartford or New Haven has put forth, and although he is not expected to place first in tlie event, he is counted on to jump high enough to come in second. Landino is the one best bet the locals have in the broad jump. He has been making some good leaps in practice and Coach Delaney feels that he will bring home the bacon. Relay Team The local relay team is expected to show up well in their event. Every man on the team is one that is re- liable in a pinch, and the showing that was made in New Haven last Saturday, proves that they can run. Weak in Long Runs. The local stand a fair chance in the 880, the 220 and the 440 yard runs. Owing to the fact that there is na ong distance track available in prac- tice, the lads who wil compete in this' event, have not been able to show their best, but even though they are working under this handicap, because they are a fighting crew, they will make things hum when they start. Wessels Trains Vaulters. The pole vaulters have been work- ing hard under the tutelage of Pro- fessor Harry Wessels, who at one time, was one of the best in the| world in that line. He has been show- ing the hoys the fine points of the of the pole, the take off and other sentials necessary for the makings a good pole vaulter, and he finds 186 of LIGHTNING BAD Chlcago, May 26.—injury of four golfers by lightning at the Calumet country club and the injury of a spectator in one of the matches of the British amateur championship at Prestwick brought from a veteran follower of golf an estimation of the HARDING PLAYS GOLF President Again Becomes An Editor to Engage in Newspapermen Tour- ney at Washington. Washington, May 26.—Warren G. Harding took his older title *editor of the Marion Star" today in order to tee off with three score Washington newspapermen in the .first annual tournament of the Washington news- paper club. The president sometime ago joined the club paying the annual dues of $1 and after turning in his average score was given a handicap of 22 strokes for play in today's tourna- ment. Prizes contested for by Mr. Hard- ing and the golf playing newspaper correspondents included a cup pre- sented by Edwar B. McLean, publish- er of the Washington Post and other awards contributed by various newspapers. ; The men turning in the lowest scores in today's tournament will make up a team which will go to New York June 12 to play on the engineer club course, a team selected from members of the New York York newspaper gulf club. Belief was expressed by local club members that should Mr. Harding be among the low ten in today's play he would consent to go to New York as a member of the Washington team. FULTON LIKES SPEED Big Fred May Not Be a Wonder in the Ring, but on the Road, O, Bby, Lookout. Minneapolis, May 26.—Fred Fuilton, heavyweight boxer of this city, was held in the county jail here over night after his arrest by a deputy sheriff on a charge of speeding, and will be arraigned today. According to the officer, Fulton at times travelled 55 miles an hour. The deputy said he chased the fighter sev- eral miles and captured him only after shooting at and puncturing the gasoline tank on FKulton's car. had from the local squad. The dis- cus throw is an unknown quantity, This meet tomorrow will be the first in which the local athletes have com- peted in this event but up to the present time, 'they have been throw- ing the plate a matter of 80 to 90 feet which is considered an excellent mark. Confident of Winning. Taking everything into considera- tion, Coach Delaney feels that his team will take first. To use his own words, New Britain will not come in third. The three schools are evenly matched, and the last meets in which the three of them competed, enabled the local men to get a good idea of the men they are up against tomor- row. The full squad will make the trip making in all about 30 men who will represent New Britain on the field. The boys are the sort that can win laurels without their success going to their heads, and the statement that they are as good if not better that either Hartford or New Haven will not, according to Coach Delaney, affect their, showing. A large number of local people will be on hand to witness the meet, and it is the hope of the entire city that that some very good material can be New Britain will win it.
