Speaking of Sports ‘The New Britain basketball team will play two tough games this week, the first coming in Meriden against the Endees Thursday night and the second being against Lou Gehrig's All-Stars at the Stanley Arena here Saturday night. One is a Connecticut State league game and the other is a feature that should prove to be one of the blue-banner attractions of the year, Eddle McAloon, Junior, has been signed as the sixth man on the Bris- tol roller hockey team. Among the amateurs, the son of a father whose middle name spells Polo, has been a flash. He is clever on the skates and s 2 whirlwind in taking the ball down the floor. With the proper coaching from the veterans on the Bristol combination, he should de- velop Into a star From Meriden comes the claim that although the Maroons lost two games over the week-end, it was be- cause the league leaders were forced to play extraordinary long periods. The claim has becn made that in Bristol Saturday night, the third period which was supposed 1o have gone 15 minutes was actually 27 minutes {n length. Sunday afternoon, good authority states that the third period was held over actually nine minutes until New Britain tied the acore, As the latter charge is a reflection en our own august personality, we | beg to arise and state that not in the | least is the even tenor of our way disturbed by them. 1t appears that the fans in Meriden Delieve their team unbeatable and some alibi must. be given whenever the quintet loses a game, | - | Squawks such as these make it in- | teresting. Some Meriden fans in back of the Meriden cage pulled ont a, watch at the beginning of the la period and counted 15 minutes on ahead. When that 15 minutes was up, they began to shout that the period was being played overtime. They cared not about the rules of the game tha: call for time out affer goals are made and until the ball is| Thit again, nor for outside balls or for injuries, but as long as 15 minntes of time had elapsed, the game should have been over. On the other hand. the time keep | er, working the watch at the scor- ing table, took the time out,and as it went, New Britain won. However, for the sake of the Meriden fans, it might be well for the league officials to change the rules so that when- ever Meriden I8 ahead, a period might be ended. That would assure Meriden of an unbroken line of vic- tories in the league. HING OF SLUGGERS 1S 34 YEARS LD Babe Ruth Is the Backbone of a Powerful Baseball Machine New York, Feh. 7 (I'P) — The Babo is 34 years old today Once the bad boy of haseball, the mightiest slugger of all time has en- tered a new era of prosperity and 18 now healthy. wealthy and happy. Up until 1924, Ruth had a hard time making hixn $52,000 salary last him through the winter. Every January used to see Rabe making it for the Yankee offices to horrow some money off hix next vear's pay. But Babe changed his ways, and | since 1924 has saved $120,000. He has invested $50.000 in an annuity fund which will pay him a hand- | some return when it matures in a ! depos’ted $33.000 iIn a. bank as an initlal payment on a $200,000 trust fund, and has in- creased this payment to $70,000. He saved the entire $70,000 in ten months last year, matching dollar X for dollar the great salary he now receives from the Yankeen. All of Ruth's money is 8o invested that no one, not even himself, caa touch, obtain or reduce the principle which makes the big fellow immune | from all lawsuits and investments. + As for his health, Ruth never felt better in his life. He spent the win- ter in New York, but kept himself in shape by constant exercise both indoors and outdoors. He will leave for training camp at St. Petersburg with the first squad, arriving there on February 26. Ruth is the backbone of the pow- erful Yankee machine, but no one realizes it less than the Babe him- self. For all his publicity and achievements, Babe is a modest fel- low. “Those Yankees are just about the best club that ever was put to- gether,” he tells you. “And I'm glad to play with ‘em.” Smart baseball men say the Yankees will g0 on as long as Babe and Gehrig keep up their hitting, and from present appearances that is some times to come. Besides set- ting & new record of 60 home runs last year, Ruth batted .356 in 151 cs him again thi season like he did last, Ruth may eclipse his 1927 home run record. “I never did think I'd break my record of 59, but I did,” he says. “Who knows, I might break my rec- ord of 60. I won't say it can't be done.” Ruth began his professional base- ball career with the Baltimore Orioles in 1914. He went to the Boston Red Sox as a pitcher from Providence in 5. The reported sale price was $2,900. He p d in four games in 1914, but plated in | 42 games the next son as a pitch- | er and outfielder. He remained with | Boston until after the 1917 seagzon when he was sold to the Yankees for $125.000. Tn 1921 Ruth set his récord of & home ryns which stoed until he | broke it himeelf last vear. Buth had participated in eight world series in his 13 full seasons in the American leagus. the Yankees' |\ PALACE ALLEYS 'w Britals Y.

Returning from Miami Beach last night, the heavyweight champion outlined his plans for the year, dis- closed his reasons for belleving that Dempsey is through with the ring and said that regardless of whether he appeared in one or two fights this year the promoter probably would be Tex Rickard. “There {s no sane reason ‘for be- lieving that Dempsey's retirement is not genuine,” said Tunney. *“I be- lieve he is convinced he will be ex- posing himself to grave danger of permanent injury if he ever again engages in & boxing match and for that reason has decided to abandon boxing. I do not agree with the popular belief that Dempsey's retire- ment is part of a publicity or bally- hoo scheme, because I refuse to re- cognize the necessity for any wide- spread publicity. A championship bout is a championship bout, re. gardless of the amount of publicity it receives.” Y Turning to his tentative Boxing program for 1 , the champion sald that whether he engages in one or two bouts depends upon ring devel- opments among the heavyweight contenders. “Rickard and T have reached an agreement for a fight in June against the man who makes the best impres- sion in the Sharkey-Heeney-Delaney- |Risko eliminations. ~Because my plans with Rickard do not go be vond the June bout 1 hesitate to say that.

GENARO GAPTURES FLYWEIGHT TITLE New York Fighter Gets Decision Over Frenchy Belanger Toronto, Ont.. Feb. 7 (M—The Na- tional Boxing association's world's flyweight crown rested today on the brow of Frankie Genaro, of New York. . Genaro won the title by scoring la decision victory over Frenchy Be- langer in a 10-round bout here last night. Belanger captured the N. B. A. championship two months ago. He defeated Genaro recently but Gen- aro was not to be beaten last night. Belanger put up a gallant. but futile He found the New Yorker's defense hard to pierce and toward the end he himself realized that his only chane fo win lay In putting over ®|a finishing blow. Genaro led from the start. For teh most part he depended upon his su- perior boxing ability to win but at times he flung caution to the winds and slugged away, toe and toe, with his Canadian foe. Belanger's left eve was badly swollen early in the fight and Genaro opened a cut over the other soon afterwards. At close where Belanger had been figured to score heavily, Genaro's - perlative boxing ability and long ex- perience frustrated Belanger at every turn. The champion was durf- gerous until the end but Genaro's defense left him no opportunity to cross a knockout punch. wspapermen at the ringside credited Genaro with winning eix rounds; gave the champlon two and called two even Ten thousand fans wers kept in . continual uproar by the .exciting battle. Genaro weighted in at the fiv- welght limit, 112 pounds; Belanger scaled 110 1-4.
