New York, June 1.—The Yankees have released Hughie High, the little outfielder, to the Athietics. Hughie refuses to become a Mackman tas been suspended by Manager Hug- gins. High was not taken on the western trip. Owing to the fact that E/Ifirlln Kopp was drafted Mack wz ery short on outfielders and on Dec- | oration Day sounded the Yankees on High. As Huggins has six outflelders, he fixed a price on High which was agreeable to Mack, but upon being advised to report to the Athletics High said he would not play with Mack’s team. High and Pipp were released to the Yankees by the Detroit club in the winter of 1914-15, at the time that Ruppert and Huston purchased the club. High had . fair seasons in 1915 and 1916, but was of tle use to the club last year. - CORNELL LEADS Moakley's Charges Securc 16 Qualify- ing Places in Yesterday's Trials for { finishead the Intercollegiate Meet.

New Haven, June 1.—George Joseph Cooney, known as George Monroe, a well-known bantamweight boxer of former vears and a protege of Sam Harris, who managed the late cham- plon, Terry McGovern, died here yes- terday a few hours after an attack of heart disease. He was 43 years old and came to New Haven from New York City about a year ago to con- duct a boxing school. New York was his home for many ars prior to that. While here he had acted as referee at local bouts and was to officiate at one next Monday night. He leaves a widow and three children Monroe gave the late Terry McGov- ern three of his hardest battles. Tt took Terry 24 rounds to stop George in their first meeting in 1898. Later in the same vear Monroe fought Terry a 20-round draw, and in their third meeting, also in 1898, McGovern was given the decision on a foul in the seventh round. Manroe was a sportsmanly and gen- tlemanly little fellow, who always was well liked by the men of the boxing profession. He was a great traveler and made friends wherever he went. He seconded Jack Johnson in his bat- tle with Jess Willard in Havana and held the reins over boxers in many of the championship battles.
