The fact that Babe Ruth devel 1 while doing road work over the mountains at Hot caused him to break into th sport page of every metropolitan daily and several hundred less metropolitan. The very first day after arrival for spring training the world was apprised that Babe had developed a pair of d dogs’ taxl for the return trip to his hotel. Mere pifflc about other than Babe, h is anyon¢ greatest s ever been He packs Ruth is undoubtedly t sport attraction that h flaunted before the public. them in. It is really remarkable the public acclaims an outstanding figure in the sport world. In this connection I recall a very intercsting experience 1 had with a Yankce rooter atop on of the auto buses that ply between the ball park and down-town New Yor! The game in question was played a the Polo Grounds, New York had beaten Washington in a double header by one.sided scores. The games wers sloppy affairs, the only real feature being the fact th Ruth had mad¢ three home runs, one in the first game, two in the srum 1. . When T dromn d into bus I was ready to call it a forget bascball, The Yankes sitting next to me felt just the site, he wanted to discuss the games today?” was his opening remark. I replied that T had. “A couple of great games,” he con- tinued, I disagreed with him just for the sake of argument, told him I couldn’t see -anythipg great about them, that both clubs pla like bush leaguers, “Well, New York won hoth games, didn’t they id the partisan fan., I admitted that such was the wase and inquired if the fact that New York won both of the games mads them great, “Evidently not from New York”" he said with much disgust. I told him that I wasn't, how a scat in the and rooter oppo- game. - “See the you ar At this stage he decided that 1 had nothing 4n common with hm from baseball standpoint a tinge the conversation sag 1 Then he got o new thought, switching 10 Ruth, “ » *Well, you mu wdmit, the Bal was there with the goods,” started th conversation anew, 1 agreed with him, but insdsted the batting of Ruth was the only feature of the afternoon Then just as the fan was beginning to Lelieve that 1 was human I couldn’t resist from adding: “But honcstly do you think he would muke Aas many hoeme runs if he played in the Nations) League?” That was much for Fricnd Fan. He was wughly disgusted and as he scats he remarked: ton thor- changed erack explaiy “That last all, you're from Brookiyn.” Me6ILL TAKES EVENTS Athletes Dartmouth College Are Defeated fn the Scheduled Winter Sports Conte \'llll‘l‘n, March MceGinl versit on ti giate winter ed Saturdny inst for nounced 1 hed by I his in Dart in distance and #ki jumping pass ri ot style contest Doe, yurd snowsho mouth placed okl dash. ° Dartmouth 1 second in yard skl re which McG Mann of Dart mout Jump Dartmouth took the 120 Dart- yard f Dartmouth tinal, Corwin of 1in t o cam © w ay ki 'and was forced to hail a| GARCIAVS. KAPLAN SET FOR WATERBURY Slugiest Will Take Place March 20, George Mulligan Announces - Louis (Kid) lan, of Meriden, and Bobby Gareia, of Baltimore, have been matched for a 15-round hout at the Waterbury armory, under the di- rection of George Mulligan, for March 20, it was announced last night from the Brass City. According to ! Multigan induced his terms after Waterbury advice Montieth to take Andy Chaney, of Baltimore, was first offered as the sacrifice. Mulligan ha had Garcla signed for over’a week but he was unable to come to terms with Kaplan, |as the latter, Mulligan claims, asked too much for his services. The story from Waterbury is as follows: “In landing this match, Promoter Mulligan signed up the prize bout of the season. Kaplan and Garcia have been matched three times York rings but for some reason or other each and cvery one of the bouts has been called off. The Garcia peo- ple claimed that Kaplan ran out but the ciaimed that there was reasons for calling off the bouts—conditions over which they had no control. *These two boys were also matched to fight in Meriden, so the Dridgeport papers said, but MeMahon said that he offered to fight Garcia for a stated sum and that the promoter that wanted to stage the show in Meriden {did not carc to*meet these figures, However, the bout is now on and Wat- erbury was the Ineky city to land it. “Robby Garcia is onc of the most sensational fighters of the day, He is called the Mexican Soldier Bat- tler and has gone through the featherweights and junior weights like water through a sieve, only last week he put Romeo Roche to sleep and any one that can knock this boy off smust have a punch, “Close students the boxing game have rcpeatedly sald that the man that licks Kaplan must Jhave a punch and Garcla surc can soeck.” NEW YORK TEAMS START ACTUAL WORKOUTS TODAY McGraw Himself Takes Charge of Glants and Yankee Advance Guard Gets Busy Too New York, = The first workout. of the wos 18 scheduled for today aut the New Orleans camp under the dircotbon of Manager Mil- ler Huggins who arrived last night, The party of 21 rookics came to town yesterday unobscrved in the excites ment of the di gras celebration.
