. \PRUETT'S RETURN LEAGUE SENSATION Young Pitcher Gained Fame by . Strikeonts Over Babe Ruth By the Associated Press. ew York, May 4.—A young medi- ‘eal student who fired a few ringing baseball shots five chieflly at the expense of Babe Ruth, then passed to the ob- scurity of the “bushes,” is back in the major league rifle pits. He is “Hub” Pruett, still young and left handed, whose comeback so far with the rejuvenated Phillies holds promise of providing one of the Yyear's most dramatic baseball epi- sodes. “Hub” went to the St. Louis Browns from the University of Mis- souri campus at the age of 19, per- fected a “screw ball,” and three years later, southpawed himself to fame by striking out the mighty Babe Ruth in 11 out of 13 times at bat. But Pruett's meteoric flight was brief. The experts said he ruined his arm with the peculiar motion used for his “screw hall.”” Hub him- self now says it was because he was worked too hard, figuring in 39 games that year, 1 He recalls one stretch in which he did relief work in five straight games, then started against the Yankees in the #ixth, It was In his contest, Hub says, that he first felt the twinge of pain in his elbow that argued trouble. At 22, Pruett was labelled “through” and finally sent to Oak- land in the Pacific Coast lcague, where it wasn't until last year that he recovered his effectiveness, won 23 games and was drafted by the Prillies. A “jinx” seems to be following one of the greatest track and field teams Penn State college has ever had. Since capturing the cross country team and individual championships last fall, Nate Cartmells’ pupils have had a succession of bad “breaks.” They were favorites to win the eastern indoor championships but lost out to Harvard. Last week they were contenders for all eight of the major relay titles at the Pennsyl- vania carnival but failed to capture & single one, although finishing sec- ond five times. They lost out in the quarter mile relay when Pennsyl- vania's quartet equalled the world's record, were nipped by Iillinois in & four mile race and eliminated from the shuttle hurdle relay by an acci- dent after getting off to a good lead in their heat. The Nittany Lions, nevertheless, have the strength and balance to figure as one of the east’s outstand- ing hopes of repelling the far west- ern track challenge this year of Stan- ford and Southern California. “Big Bill” Tilden's come back prospects and Germany's strength for a re-entry into Davis cup competi- tion both may be gauged this week end when the former American champion and his team partner, 1'rank Hunter, meet the Teutons at Berlin. The results may not be definitely eonclusive, for it will be the first competition for the American pair road, but the outcome will be of more than ordinary interest marks the official resumption of German-American tennis relations after a lapse of 13 years. Tilden rates the Germans high on the international scale. So much so that before sailing he expressed the oplnion that it would “be no shock for Hunter and me to lose the five mateh series in Berlin.” “But,” he added, “it wouldn't dls- courage us, either. This isn't to be taken as an alibl if we're licked but, on top of the sea trip, we don’t ex- pect to reach our best playing form quickly. It will be largely luck if we beat the Germans.” ‘Whatever happens to Tilden and ‘his partner, no observers will accuse them of “‘ducking” the issue. Over a stretch of two months meet the best talent in each coun- try they visit or compete in cham- pionship tourney in which Europe's top-flight performers will be com- bined against them. ;. NEWINGTON NEWS A meeting of the executive com- mittee of the Maple Hill Improve- ment society was held last evening at the home of Dr. A. 8. Grant on 30lf street. Those presen. were Dr. Grant, president; W. F. Middlemas, secretary; E. R. Hitchcock, treasur- er; William R. Pond, Mrs. R. C. Baldwin, Mrs. A. P. White, and Mrs. E. B. Proudman, It was voted to have street signs placed at road intersections direct- ing the way to Maple Hill. ‘The matter of garbage collection was re- ferred to the following committee: E. R. Hitchcock, Willlam R. Pond, Mrs. A. P. White, Mrs. E. B. Proud- man, and William H. Fitzell. It was &lso voted to erect new street signs. During the past few yecars most of the signs have been broken and the erection of new ones will be a great improvement. The signs will be white posts with the street names on the sides. The matter of changing the names of some of the streets was discussed but no definite action was taken. The annual meeting was also discussed. It will probably be held during the month of June at the Sequin Golf club. A meeting of the town plan com- mission will be held in the town hall tonight to inspect the map of the town which is now being drawn by Arthur W. Bacon of New Britain. Reveral recommendations will prob- wbly be made. An old-fashioned dance will be held at the Grange hall Monday evening. Harold Gates of Cromwell will act as promoter. CROWLEY BROS. INC.

Approximately 1,000 residents of the township, many of them women, are involved. A few of the women have defied threats of the tax col- lector, F. Robert Shaw, to send them to fall unless they pay the tax, but the big majority have paid the im- post. Others have promised to do so. The deputy collectors, George W. !Sheain and George Fie, denied 're- | ports that six women had absolute- ly refused to pay their taxes. They said they had encountered only two who had refused and that one of these had capitulated when they i threatened to arrest her. they said, had brandished a paint bucket in their faces and “rather than enter into a physical contest” they decided to postpone their col- lection. The back taxes are wanted by the township for the completion of a high school and the improvement of its streets. {TRAUT ASKS INJUNCTION AGAINST QUARRY COMPANY Claims Excavating and Blasting Would Damage His Property In City's West End Claiming that the erection and maintenance of a stone crusher ad- jacent to his property will prove in- jurious to his holdings, George W.
