SPORTDOM SPARKLERS There has been a number of match bowling contests at the Aetna alleys during the present season which has created much interest, but on next Friday evening two teams will clash consisting of employes of the Russell & Erwin Manufacturing company, which should prove to be a hummer. Great secrecy is being manifested over the members of the teams. The match will be with the big pins, and one of the captains confesses to not having rolled, a game in thirty-five years. point another committee to gate these unfair conditions. investi- The ‘cows may come and the cows may go, but, in' a manner of speaking, B.

Jim Corbett defeated ! John L. with lefts to the face and body. It has been Jess Willard's mainstay. Kid McCoy, “Philadelphia Jack” O’'Brien, Dal Hawkins, George | Dixon and many others achieved fame with their lefts. As far as ascertained, Sammy Waltz ' has not decided to sever relations with the boxing game. Basketball fans attending the sched- | uled game at the Armory Saturday ' night were treated to another lemon, when a team from Meriden failed to put in an appearance. The local Ram- blers and the Braves of Hartford tried to entertain the ‘“crowd” but their efforts were ludricous, the home boys winning, score 54 to 82. Two comeback attempts of more than passing interest are scheduled for the coming campaign. Guy Morton, who was commonly supposed to have put his pitching arm permanently out of business by winning ten straight games last spring, and George Foster, of the Red Sox, who announced his re- | tirement just before the 1916 world's series, both declare that they are in splendid condition again, and that they will be all right again next summer. They are looking for something to do. The golf world is discussing the right of Walter J. Travis to play in amateur events in view of the recent decisions. Travis has been compet- ing at Palm Beach. So far as his lat- est playing in Floride is concerned it is sald his standing cannot be dis- puted, this is by his friends.

Originally the first was to have been held January 40 but Mit- chell injured his hand in training and obtained a postponemet of a week. Pitchers of the White Sox team will be sent to Mineral Wells the first of March, with rest of the players report- ing ten days later.

HEMMERER PLANS NUMEROUS CHANGES 15 ‘Pioneers Baseball Manager Busy Arranging 1947 Season Details 1f tentative plans of Manager Kem- merer of the Pioneers Bascball club materialize, the season 1917 should be one of the most successful in the history of the organization, and the comforts of the crowds that find their way to the East isllis strect grounds Al- though the opening of the season is a long way off, the encrgetic leader of the Pioneers in making arrangements for the sea- has been busily engaged son which include a new playing man- ager, some new faces on the team and last but not least the erection of a grand stand, which has long heen felt a necessity. The present layout of the playing field is not \ctory to the new helmsman, and a complete change will be made. It is Manager Kemmerer's intention to move the diamond back several feet thus afford- ing the outfielders more opportunity FOR B. B. HONORS Tigers Lead League But Have- Hard Schedule Ahead New Haven, Feb. —WIith one more game to play in the first lap of the Intercollegiate Basketball championship race, Yale is still the favorit: over the other teams in the league. Although Princeton now leads the league by half a game over Yale and Pennsylvania, who are tied for sec- ond plrce, she has played one more game than either of those teams and has the hardest part of her schedule yet to play. % Her defeat of Yale by one point on ~ Tuesday of last week was due to & last 1ninute rally after Yale had been ir the lead throughout the game. Pennsylvania, Yale's other rival for the championship honors, was beaten last week by Cornell, the tailenders of the league. This defeat was decisive and was Cornell’s first league game. Rest Aids Elis. From the other teams in the league Yale has little to fear. With rest which Coach Tommers gave the team last week, their condition should be much improved when they line up against Princeton here next Tuesday. It is the annual Prom. game, but it does not count as a league contest. As the winner of this game will be considered generally as the favorite for the league champion- ship, it will be an especially impor- tant and interesting affair. The make-up of the Yale team will be as usual with Kinney and Olsen forwards; Garfield, eeater, and Captain Taft and Mallon, guards. As a result of a five days’ rest, the team is playing faster basketball than at .. any previous time this season and Coach Tommers is very optimistic in his opinion of the team’s chances. for a championship. Kinney After Honors. Kinney, highest scorer in the league last year, is again making a bid for the honors an stands second to Ort- ner of Cornell who has figured in one more sume than Kinney. He is Yale's best man on the offense and the bulk, of the scoring depends on him. Mal.cn, all-collegiate guard, is tled with Kinney in number of field goals scored. His play, both on the offense and defense (has been little short of sensational and he is without doubt the best all-round guard in the league.~ Captain Taft's ability as a leader has been a big factor in.the team’s success and his brilliant floor game has to a great extent been responsible for the large scores which the team has run up in almost every game. Garfield, at center, invariably gels the jump on his opponent and fits in well with the team work of the five. Olsen, Kinney’s running mate, has improved in every game and can be relied upon for his steadiness. “ | posed arrangement, the outer pasture . guardians will be located at what is | now the deep infield. The proposed ! grandstand will be located directly be- ' hind the catcher's box. The nioun- | tainous region along the third baso iline will also be lowered so that the guardian of the dizzy corner will not ! be charged with errors on drives that are practically impossible to get on account of the present existing condl- tion. Vintage of ’65 to Go. The antiquated uniforms which (n some respects resemble the tattered ! garments of the Lee's soldiers at tho 4 time of the surrender at Appomatox, Va., in 65, will also be replaced by new oncs. As to the makeup of the team, Manager Kemmerer has not definitely decided owing to the strong nucleus that the 1916 team left. One of the leading candidates for the play- ing manager’s job is “‘Dick” Schrocder the former High school and semi- professional star. ' Leagues Seck Lynch. Efforts are being made to retain Lynch, the sensational infielder so- cured toward the latter part of last season, who is without doubt one of the best plavers outside of profession- al ranks in the state. That the eyes of some of the East- ern league managers of last season/ are focussed on the local boy is well known, the writer having been ap- proached by the leader of a club locat- ed nearby, who went into detail regard- ing Lynch's ability. It is also sald that New York State League magnates are dickering for his services next season.
