SPORTDOM SPARKLERS ~——— Heinie Groh, Cincinnati league club infielder, who has been holding out for more money, sent in his signed contract to President Herr- menn of the club yesterday. Groh asked for $5,000, but the club offered only $4,800. No announcement was made as to what salary he is to re- cetve. National First Baseman George Burns of tle Detroit Americans, who returned his signed contract to President Navin several weeks ago, has accepted terms, it was announced today. Only two players now remain un- signed. The men are Oscar Vitt, third baseman, and Harry Coveleskie, the star left handed pitcher. It is expected that Coveleskie and Navin soon will come to terms, but Navin has announced that he will not grant tt the increase which the Califor- nian has demanded. Jimmy Archer, the veteran catcher of the Chicago Nationals, who de- clined to sign a 1917 contract, has been given permission to trade him- self, it was announced yesterday. President. Weeghman told Archer ! before the players left last night for the training camp at Pasadena, Cal, that he would be glad to release him if a deal could be arranged. Archer is the only member of the club who refused to sign. Harry H. Frazec, Boston American league baseball club, announced last night that he was serfously considering an offer president of the FRIDAY:ndSATURDAY Continuous 2:15-11 RAMONA| A Romzjnce of California By He.en Hunt Jackson The Great Western Spectacle in12 Ree's Prices 15¢-25¢ Friday Matinee Only, All Seats, 15¢ Sc RAMONA CHILDREN’S MATINEE AT 12:30 SATURDAY SUN., MON.

Gould came from behind to win by 18-17, 15-12, 18-16. TFrankie Brown of New York quit in the third round of his bout with Frankie Burns, the Jersey City ban- tamweight, at the National Sporting club show ir German hall last night. Erown claimed he had been fouled but Dr. Marcus Cronin, the club phy- sician, after examining the New York bantamweight, gave it as his opinion that Brown had not been hurt. Nevertheless Brown after being given a rest of ten minutes absolutely re- fused to continue. Frederick B. Alexander and Dr. | William Rosenbaum of New York i won their way into the final round of | the national indoor doubles tennis championship yesterday afternoon, defeating S. H. Vosbell and A. Bass- ford ,Jr., also of this city, 6-3, 8-6. It cost Bill Pickens just $12 In tel- ephone tolls to get Grover Cleveland Alexander’s verbal promise that he {would give his $35,000 proposition serious consideration and that he probably would accept. Pickens has offered ‘‘Alex, the Great” a thirty-five week contract at $1,000 per week to appear with a cireus. The fact that President Baker is still refusing to pay Alexander $15,- 000 a year may causc the Philly thunderbolt to follow Willard’s foot- steps. Pickens left today for the east to have a personal conference with Alex- ander, who. it was stated, had sug- gested to Pickens that he sign either Jimmy Archer or Killifer as a bat- tery partner.

C. A. college for the basketball defeat of earlier in the season, by forcing the Springfiécld collegians to take the bitter end of a 75 to 20 score last night at the Yale gym. The gamo was all that the score indicates, namely, an easy walk away for Yale from start tc finish., and at no time did Springfield force Yale to exert herself to any great extent. Kinney, the irresistible forward, was the bright luminary of the con- test. During the entire game he alone scored 37 points, 5 fouls and 16 field goals. Yale scored first when Captain Taft scored a field goal on a dribbel shot. Immedlately after- wards, Springfield Y. M. C. A. tied the score when Seimon retaliated with a basket. Yale however, was not to be tied long and Olsen and Kirney each contributed a field goal bringing the score up to 6 to 2. Cap- tain Taylor of Springfield then scored a foul and a field goal, boosting the Springtield score to 5. This was as far as the wvisitors got for Garfield caged three fleld goals in quick suc- cession, which amazed all. Mallon, Kinney and Taft also scored heavy during the first half and the score at the end ot the first frame stood 37 to 11. The lineup and summary: Yale Springfield Y. M. C. A. Olsen ...

New Haven, Feb. 22.—Prof. Tom- my Shea, featherweight champion of New Haven, successfully defended his title by scoring a knockout over Frank Brindisi in the fourteenth bout at the Arena last night. The knock- out came after thirteen rounds of un- interesting milling, during which time Shea held the whip hand against the rugged but less experienced Italian battler. There have been many knockouts in local rings, but none can compare with that of last night for sensationalism. In the fourteenth round Shea whipped a right hook to the jaw and the Italian went shoot- ing out through the ropes into the laps of ringsiders. The referee made no attempt to go through the for- malities of raising Shea's hand in token of victory for it was evident that Brindisi was completely out, | Brindisi later regained his senses and | made his way to Shea'’s corner where ! he warmly clasped the hand of the winner. Harry Willlams and Jack McNulty put up the best scrap of the evening in the semi-final bout of ten rounds. After McNulty had given Willlame a boxing lesson, a la Tommy Shea, in the majority of the first elght rounds, he little Itallan staged a strong come- back and the referec awarded a draw | decision. Jimmy Fasane, the Waterbury Wal- loping Wop, stopped Harry Glenn, of New York, in the second round of their scheduled eight round go. Fa- sane dropped Glenn twice in the second round and the referee stopped the bout. Glenn didn’t land an ef- fective blow and proved far inferior to what press reports cracked him up | to be. TENER RECOMMENDS MILITARY TRAINING National League Head Advocates Plan of Col. Huston New York, Feb. 22.—The military ! fever spread to the National league vesterday when President John K. Tener declared himse)f in favor of | military trairing for National league ball players Tener raid he is in favor of the suggestions which Capt. T. L. Huston of the Yankees has made to the American league, and said his clubs would take up military training “whenever and wherever they find it expedient.” Tener is anxious that his club own- ers co-operate with American league men in intrcducing military drills in the training camps and to continue the work after the teams come North. | He says before each of the Nation- | al league teams start actual training ! he will write to the club president | of each club recommending the team devote a portion of each day at the training camp to military drills. “I think the players should get a little of it .at least one drill a day.” “I believe nothing but the highest patriotism actuated Capt. Huston in proposing his military plan,” con- tinued Tener. “Should the country be in need I feel confident baseball will respond as quickly as any other business.” Tener Seeks Aggressiveness. Tener is now working on a plan to put back some of the old-time riv- alry into the National league. “Now | that the Federa) league war and Play- ers Fraternity menace are settled we want to get back to the old-time days when the players thought of nothing but playing the game. I want to see YALE FAVORED T0 WIN CHAMPIONSHP, Eli in Lead for Honors With Four Games to Play New Haven, Feb, 22.—While , the contest for supremacy in the Inter- collegiate Basketball league may be said, at the widest reckoning to in- volve Yale, Princeton and Pennsyl vania—the three leading teams—the Quakers may now win the champton- +ship only in event of disaster to Yale, says Lawrence Perry in the New York_ Post. This is extremely unlikely, hence Pennsylvania may be regarded ' as practically eliminated from the race. If the Elis are to be nosed out of the leading position the honor of’ this feat will probably fall to Prince- ton. The general idea, however, i& that the Blue will continue at the top until the season ends. She has won . five games and lost one—to Pénnsyl- vania. They have five more games to play; Yale has four., Yale's mid-year exams are well behind and the team has had opportunity for daily prac- tice and besides has played league and exhibition games. Princeton has just come through her February tests, an. there has been little opportunity for valuable practice, much less the play- ing of intercollegiate games. In this condition Nassau goes against Colum- bia Saturday night in the gymnasium on Morningside. Columbia is by ne means a weak sister this year; on her own floor she is decidedly formirable. In point of fleld goal shooting the flve stands second only to Yale, and if the Tigers are to prevail it must be through superior team work. Games against Pennsylania and Yale must also be played away from home, and the Elis have two games on foreign floors, b6th of these against Cornell and Dartmouth,. who have shown themselves to be the weakest teamt in the league. To recapitulate Nassau will meet three of her strongest opponents on her opponents’ courts in the flve game¢ yet to be played, while Yale will ea- gage her.two strongest rivals on hér = own floor and play away from home against the tail-end fives. It will thus lbe seen that the probabilities incline in favor of Yale. At the same time ~ more intense playing than we have had during the last few years. “However, one of the most difficult things is to get a ball player to see the difference between aggressiveness and rowdyism. Frequently when I have been compelled to fine or sus- pend players for particularly bad language on the fleld I have received letters from those players ‘That is the thanks I get for t to hustle for my club.’ “There can be clean, vigorous ag- gressiveness without any offensive personal remarks. My idea of ag- gressjveness is for a ball player to come on the fleld thinking of nothing but baseball and filled with an incen- tive to win. I like to see a ball player take his defeat to heart. Whenever we lost a game on the old Chicago club we felt it. There was an air of defeat all over our clubhouse. Why, | we took a defeat as a personal slight. We could not figure how we should ever lose a game. “There still are ball players who take their defeat to heart, but Wlthl the great m:jority the game is over | |when the last man is out. Then I| want to see every player out ever) thing until he positively is out, never overlooking & chance. That is my 1dea of aggressiveness.” ALEX SIGNS Management—=Salary Said to Be $12,500 Per Annum. Philadelphia, Feb. 22.—Grover Cleveland Alexander, star pitcher of the Philadelphia Nationals yesterday go south with the team on March 6. A compromise in the salary differ- ences between Alexander and William & F. Baker, president of the club,” was reached at a conference lasting sev- eral hours, While the figures were not made public it was said authoritatively that Alexander is the highest paid pitcher | in organized baseball. At a confer- ence with Mr. Baker yesterday Alex ander refused $10,000 a year, declar- ing that unless he was paid $15.000 he would quit baseball. Tt is said the | two compromised on $12,500. | signed a two year contract and will |, those who follow inter-collegiate sport will appreciate the fact tha probabilities do not always materialize into accomplished facts. If Princeton can defeat the Blue and White on Saturday night and prevail over Penn- sylvania in Weightman hall on March 10, there is then the likelihood that the championship will be decided in the Princeton-Yale struggle in New Haven on March 14.
