\ . Queen's 7 to w TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1924 LATEST LOCAL MONTREAL UNIVERSITY DEFEATED IN OPENER ---- 2 Victors in Game Which Had Many Flashes of Sensational Speed. - ' rere In the opening senior intercol- legiate game on Kingston ice at the Jock Harty Arena last'night Queen's defeated y University of Montreal 7 to 2 and took™a good start in the Face, The victory last night leaves Varsity and Queéén's running even for first honors and McGill and WU. of M. also breaking even with one defeat each.' : Last night's gameé was all that could be-desired, The play here and there was a little ragged for senior hockey but at other times it wag as fast as the sport has brought out anywhere. - Both net-guardians starred. Lajeuniere, the visiting goal-keeper, was on his job all the time and brought forth applause from the crowd on many occasions for his cool-headed and excellent work. Quinn was his usual self and saved sods hard ones. or Queen's Boucher was the outstanding player with Lindsay a close second. Boucher scored three and assisted in two goals. Lindsay scored two and assisted ip Smith, with his long fast rushes, was also a great factor in the Queen's victory. His partner on the defense, Reynolds, was getting the rushes and breaking them up but his attacking was not as good as it 'has been in the past and he has not yet hit his stride, "Bill' Brown was all up and down right wing with the same fast action and "Don" McDonald filled in wherever needed and did so tp per- tection. Jack Bond, 'while not as effective as he might have been will make a good man if kept strictly to his own wing and made to develop his shot and use it, For the visitors it is difficult to ick any one star, apart from the little goaler. Beaubien, Lapointe and Leduc seemed to have a little , the edge on their team-mates. Lac pointe, at centre, was quite a reve- " lation and the rushes of Beaubien - from the defence lacked nothing in finish or danger to the opposing team. Ledue, the smiling little cap- tain of the team, secured the first of their gdals and carries a wicked shot. On the whole the visitors form a snappy team which will increase in i aay as the peason advances. They Ad jow good combination play and n- dividual ability. Both teams Were 3 yory weak jn. shopting.

Ge rge Herman Ruth, who oace or twice has been cal :d "Babe," will be thirty years old on the 7th of Febru- ary. { Ruth this same year will serve his tenth campaign as a major league regular, although the Nonpareil of the Bludgeoners toiled a few innings with the Red Sox late in 1014, What is Ruth champion of? you may inquire. You can take your pick. Through 1923 he scored nineteen "more runs than' any other member of either major league. Tris Speak- er being runner-up. \ Ruth pattered over the platter, as the saying goes, 1561 times in 152 | games. In addition to this," Ruth rdn up a | total of 399 bases, far in advance of | the pack, and, after accepting some- | thing like 176 passes, still gave vent | to 41 home runs, tieing the season's mark with Cy Williams, of the Phil- lies. - While the home rum deposits 'shrank 'a little from 1920 and 1921, 1923 was still the "Babe's" greatest all-round year. He was the league's best hustler from April's start on through the dust of October's stretch, battling Harry. Heilmann on one side, Cy Wil- liams on the other, and still playing his other départments of defence and attack in sensational fashion. There has been an idea in many quarters that Ruth is only a big slug- ger who can sock the ball, but who in other ways. is a bit to the pome- granate or the early quince. On the contrary, Ruth is a star outfielder, a wonderful judge of bat- ting grooves and one of the best runners in the game. With all his bulk, only four men in the American League stole more bases, and the "Babe" isn't carrying 8 jockey's weight when he thunders ardund the tow-pdth, Not by a num- ber of ounces. He gave Harry Heilmann, league leader, a grand battle to the last week, when the Tiger slipped on by to win by eight points. The pre-eminent "Babe" starts 1924 as king of all the sluggers that ever lived, despite the fact that untoward incidents have prevented him from leading both leagues in home rung since 1921. In the last four years alone he has accumulated 191 four-base hits, an average verging upon 48 a season. And he has scored more runs through this period than any ball- player ever thought possible. - After all, the succulent tally is the factor that wins th® game. It is the only ingredient which figures in the final score. And it is in this department that Ruth has been supreme. His top mark is 177 runs, counted in, 1921. When you figure that such great run-getters as Cobb, Collins, Speak- er, Hornsby and Frisch have never been able to approach these marks you can gather a better line on what has'taken place. We understand from official and personal sources that Ruth hopes ta make 1924 his greatest campaign. Here is what he has in mind: 1. To lead both leagues in mak- ing home runs. 2. To lead his league at bat inpthe way of base-hit averages. 8. To lead In total bases. 4. To lead in runs scored. The desire to accumulate another harvest of free passes is not a burn- ing one. He has drawn hig share from this department. Ruth, at thirty, is still 'an athlete near his prime. Despite his unusual bulk, all set upon slender ankles, he is still as active and as agile as he was in thé first two or three years of hig life beneath the Big Tent. He is still spry abd nimble, a quick starter, with the leverage un- impaired. Thirty isi't old for any sport. The "Babe" has been around for a.long time, but he is only a year older than Dempsey or Tilden. . The rhythm of his swing remains fldwless, and there is the same power in his punch. He will again be Hellmann's ledd- ing rival, and the base-hit battle between thig pair will be a 1924 fea- ture worth more than casual Inspec a .

The local youngsters had a good workout at the Arena last night after the inter- collegiate game. -- ; ¥ The Queen's team entertained the University of Montreal party, amounting to about twenty-five in all, to a dinner in the Red Room after last night's game. Principal the Rev. Bruce Taylor was at the head of the board and President "Don" McDonald, of the hockey club, held the chair. After a satisfactory repast little addresses were given by the principal, Messieurs Villeneuve and Plomandon, Prof. M. B.. Baker, and the captains of the teams. The Queen's and Montreal players then started a good- natured competition in singing and yell-giving. It is hard to say which set of young men was more mystified--Queen's with the French, or Mont- real with the Gaelic. ! The congratulations of the fans will be extended to J. E. R. ("Roy") Smith, defence man of the Queen's senior outfit, who was last night elected captain of the team for the present season. "Smitty" has given a lot of | athletic service to Queers: * He Is a sprinter, a football player, something of a boxer and wrestler, a baseball player and, perhaps, best of all in hockey.
