WARRIORS WILL STICK FOR FORFEITED GAMES. Captain Harris Says They Are Entitled to the Match Last Week, It was reported from Westcrly Wed- nesday that the Norwich Warriors would not take the three games which they claimed last week in the duckpin league by forfeit from the Norwich No. 1 team, but would roll the match with the No. 1 team a date to be agreed upon. Captain Harris of the Warriors stat. ed Wednesday evening that he would have to be shown some better reason than he knew now before he would consent to rolling the match, as he corsidered his team was righbtfully en- titled to the score they now have wit! the forfeited games. The Warriors, he said, had a chance again Monday night this week to claim three more gumes by forfeit, as New London team No. 1 failed to show up and sent no word, he Warriors would roll this match out, but as for the other he could see no reason why it shouldn't stanad as it is.

Juck McGrath, the Irish Giaiit, was a near-hero Wednesday afternoon. when he just missed by an eyelash stopping 4 runawiy in Broadway at the Wauregan house corner. The peeding horse refused to come to a clinch with the wrestler, sidestepped cleverly when Jack made a rush and grab for him, and continued on his way down Shetucket strect. Had Jack suc- ceeded in getting a hand on the horse it would have been “bad medicine” for the animal, as the Giant is in great shape for his bout to a finish with Chief Fighting Bear in T. A. B. hall tonight. From the sale of tickets already re- ported it is likely T. A. B. hall will be packed to the limit, McGrath having announced that this will probably be his final appearance here, as he in- tends to go west. There will be good preliminaries to {he main bout.

The annual meeting of the intercol- legiate football rules committe> will be held at the Murray Hill hotel in New York Thursday and Friday.

The conditions of the big Marathon Derby race on April 3 should suit Alf Shrubb, the English professional, to a dot. Practically all of Sbrubb’s rec- ords were made on the turf and though he has not been on the green for some years, his former experience will come in handy, particularly if the going is just the last bit wet. All of the other starters have done more or less road running, but it is another thing to run on the grass.
