New York, April 26 (By the Asso- ciated Press)—Robert A, (Bob) Gard- ner, captain of the American amateur golf team now in England for the British amateur championship and Walker cup matches, is known as the “big Bertha” of American links be- cause of his terriffic driving power. He held the national amateur cham- plonship for two years 1009-15 and was runner up in 1916 and 1921, In 1920 at Muirfleld, Scotland he came within a putting inch of being the sec- ond American to lift the British ama- teur title. Old Yale Pole Vaulter As a pole vaulter at Yale, Gardner developed the powerful wrist and forearm that made him one of the premier drivers of the world, He is a natural shet maker his work on the links appearing as devold of effort as winking one's eye. A notable in- ance of his great driving was his match with Jesse Guilford the “siege of Boston in the final round of in 1921. He outdrove Guilford on al- most every hole but was defeated by the Bostonian’'s uncanny putting. Always in Trim Gardner never trains for his golf. “I'm always in trim” he explains. “Training takes off the edge."” Although a star golfer at Yale, Gardner did not shine in the national tournaments until 1909 when he tied for the medal in the qualifying round of the national amateur and among others eliminated Walter J. Travis former British and American title holder on the way to victory over H. C. Egan of Chicago another former .| champlon in the final round. Gardner was eliminated in the first 2 round of amateur title play in both 1911 and 1913 and reached the third : round in 1914 losing to Francis Oui- (Continued on Following Page) Babe Ruth Will Hit $1,000 To Charity Each Home Run New York, April 26.—Every time Babe Ruth hits a home run during May he will knock loose $1,000 from the pockets of New York lawyers into the 1023 home service fund of the Salvation Army. This agreement has been reached by Ruth and Congress- man F. H, La Guardia, according to announcement last night at Salvation Army headquarters, 120 West Four- teenth street. The lawyers' division is already pledged to raise $3,000. Ruth has written to Congressman La Guardia that while he can't guar- antee home runs he can take an aw- ful wallop at the ball with the Salva- tion Army in mind.

The Hartford-Springfield game probably was the best in the league, the Senators winning in the ninth i inning with a clout that would have been a homer had not the winning run come in on the hit and the batsman held up at TRADE SCHOOL HOOP TOSSERS LOOK GOOD Did Not Win Pennant, But Make Fine Season’s Record New Britain Trade school just closed one of the hardest, if not the hardest, schedules in the history of the school. Starting out with several defeats the trade boys came through to make an even break of the season. Although they failed to win the Voca- tional school champonship they did hold the fast Bridgeport team to a 30-26 score after having played a hard game in the morning of the same day. Unable to secure school games the traders were forced to seek games with independent teams such as the Winsted Y. M. C. A., Triangles, Morse Lusiness College and St. Seminary. At the start of the sea- son there were three lettermen left, Witham, Kulikowski and Laurinaitis. Later on Patrus and Capt. Anderson, both of whom were on the sick list, were able to join the squad. Under the leadership of Capt. Anderson the team showed a wonderful fighting spirit, never acknowledging defeat until the last whistle blew and then always having a cheer whether vic- torious or vanquished. Of last year's vets Miller showed a most wonderful improvement and all round ability, but it was Vettorello, a newcomer to prove the sensation of the team. Teamed with the veteran Kulikowski in the latter part of the season this lad helped from an almost impene- trable defense and also turned out to be a star dribbler. Bowen also proved to be a valuahle addition although (Continued on Following Page) Five Leading Clouters f In Two Big Leagues National League Player and Club G.
