New Haven, March 27.—Yale base- ball players yesterday took their first outdoar pyactice of the season, spend- ing two hours on ‘the Yale Field dia- mond. Not in many years have they left the cage as early. Weather con- i ditions indicated a full week’s prac- | tice before their opening game on Sat- jurday, and nearly two weeks before they start south, unless the threatened war enlistments cause all the Yale i athletics to be abandoned. Coach Lauder shifted the players continually, as two full nines of vet- eran players were available. All of last year’s players, except Captain Vaughn and Shortstop Johnson, who have left college, were in their usual positions. - Captain Harry LeGore was at third base and Lyman at short- stop most of the afternoon. Of the pitchers Garfleld Comerford, and Davey, a former Oberlin star, appeared in best form. Mudge and Munson are being used for the reg- ular backstop work. Coach Lauder said last night that his lineup for Sat- urday’s game with the New Haven Colonials was far from settled. _MORE WAR SPIRIT Chicago, March 27.—The Ameri- can league will take no immediate action in the case of Branch Rickey, former business manager of the St. Louis Americans, who although still under contract with the club signed a three year contract with the St. Louis club of the National league. . This announcement was made last night by President Ban Johnson after a conference with Phil Ball, president of the St Louis Americans, John- son said he had not sufficient time to consider all details of the case, and that until he had seen the contract between Ball and Rickey he was not prepared to say what, if any, action he would take. Ball returned to St. Louis last night. It is understood that court action to restrain Rickey from carry- ing out the terms of his National league contract will be started in St. Louis tomorrow, Commenting on the suggestion that presidents of the major league ¢lubs donate a percentage of theirf re- cefpts to the American Red Cross to be used in case the United States be- comes involved in war President Johnson said: “That is a question entirely up to the club owners. I desire to hold my opinion in abeyance. I do not wish to have the impression gained that I am dictating a policy for them to pursue in that regard.” Rovmg Stewards Wlll Decide Matter'at Meeting Tomorrow New York, March 27.—The war's effect on intercollegiate rowing in the east, and more particularly on the Poughkeepsie ' regatta, scheduled for June 21, will be the principal topic of discussion at a meeting of the Stewards of the Intercollegiate Row- ing Association tomorrow morning in the office of the chairman, Charles Halsted Mapes, the Columbia steward. Although it was. indicated unoffi- cially last night that the stewards in no manner wanted the impression to 80 broadcast that the regatta would be ‘cancelled this year positively, the possibility of no race will be dis- cussed and other rowing plans, which are virtually held in abeyance under the war cloud, .will be considered. No official statements have issued from the three member universities represented on the board of stewards, Columbia, Pennsylvania and Cornell, whether athletics would be halted immediately on a declaration of a state of war .by this country, but it is known that sports, and particularly. the crews, at Harvard and Yale would probably have to be dropped because of the number of athletes who would answer a call to arms. The stewards tomorrow morning will- also ‘discuss the crews to be in- vited to compete this spring in case the regatta is held as scheduled. None of the board would state last night whether Syracuse woald get an invita- tion as usual, but it has been the opinion of many rowing experts for severa] weeks that no objection would be raised against Jim .Ten Eyck's eights when the time for considering invitations came due. It is likely that invitations will be extended to California, Washington, and Stanford University, the three coast crews.

BURNS IS (LEVER ' —_— One Armed Player Proves Too Good For Local Cue Wielder Who Once ‘Won International Fame, Joseph Cronin, sometimes referred to as a pool player with interna- tional honors, proved easy picking for Frank Burns of Patterson, N. J., champion ore-armed pool player of. the world last evening at the Elmore billiard parlors. .. The local boy was outclassed, securing but 72 points while his crippled opponent was col- lecting one hundred. At the con- clusion of the game Burns gave a clever iexhibition of fancy shots which brought forth much applause from the 400 or more pool fans on hand, This afternoon Mr. Burns took on a local amateur with some fame as a cue wielder and again this evening, he will exhibit his skill at the Elmore billlard parlors against the best player Manager Neil Murphy can select. Johnny Dundee, of New York, had the better of Lew Tendler, of Phila- delphia, in their six-round engage- ment at Philadelphit last evening. Dundee’s blows had more force.be- hind them than Tendler’s.
