Norwich, Conn. Bowl and play Billiards for exercise and recreation s ch 1. Saturday afternoon-on the campus the Academy took the first high school game of the season, from Killingly, by the score of 7 to 5, in a hard .fought contest. The game was full of errors, both of play and of strategy, especially by the local boys. The game showed a lack of knowledge of “inside baseball” on the part of the Red and White war- riors, but aside from this the local in- stitution is- represented by a strong team. The Academy was a long time in finding their batting eyves and while it 'may be just a coincidence, as soon as the audience left the benches in disgust the fellows landed on Pass- more for two extra base clouts and put the game on ice. Keenan, who started on the mound for the Academy had to be relieved by Meek who proved to be more effective. Passmore pitched masterly ball throughout and receiveq fair support. Killingly was handicapped by the absence of several of their players who were in difficul- ties with their studies. The game opened rosily for the Academy when the first three Killing- ly .men retired in order. McKnight Grew a pass and went to second on a passed ball. He was out when Hull grounded to Elliott. Hull went to sec- ond on an error by Reeves. Savles popped to Passmore. Counihan sin- gled nicely, scoring Hull. Ringland struck out. Keenan met his Waterloo in the sec- ond. Passmore singled. Conklin walked. O'Neil flied out to Hull. Knox hit, but Passmore was held at third. Bitgood walked and forced Passmore home. Killian grounded to Sayles and ‘Conklin was forced out at! home. McGorty flied over shortstop, Knox scoring. Ringland should have have had the ball but wds playing too far in and became mixed up with Bit- good, who went to third on the play. Bitgood scored on Elliott's singzle. Kil- lian scored on Ringland's error. Pass- more up for the second time that in- ning, walked, forcing in McGorty. Conklin struck out. Brassil led off with a singie in the Academy half, but Brewer flied to O’- Neil when he tried to bunt and Kee- nan and Meek fanned. .In the third Meek went on the mound and Keenan went out to center field. O'Neil, the first man up got in the way of a pitch- ed ball and Knox Wdrew a free pass. Meex fanned Killian and forced BRit- good ‘and McGorty to raise infield flies retiring the side. McKnight, the first Academy man at bat, got a base on balis and went to second on Hull's sin. ole. . Sayles sacrificed ‘him to third. He.scored on O'Neil's error of Elliott's peg of Counihan’s grounder. Ringland fanned and Brassil went out on an in- Mu-l’hy In the Major League P field grounder. Killingly got a man to-third in the fourth but failed to score. The Aca- demy went out via the strikeout route. Ringland was in the iimelight in the fifth. He muffed O'Neil's grounder to open the inning. Knox fanned and Bitgood was out on a foul bunt on his last strike. ' Killian grounded to Keenan, who with an easy out at sec- ond made a bad throw to first, which Brassil speared with difficulty, retir- ing the up-state team. Ringland would hive had an easy out as he only had about one-tenth as far as O'Neil to go to touch second. Killingly had an easy time with the Academy in the fifth, Rillingly was retired in short order in the sixth. Brassil walked and went to second on a wild throw by O'Neil. He stole third. Brewer fanned. Kee- nan flied out to left. Meek walked and stole second. McKnight walked, filing the bases, With two out and the bases full Hull fanned. Killingly became dangerous in the seventh. Conklin fanned as usual O’Neil walked and went to second on Knox’s hit. Bitgood hit to Ringland, forcing out O'Neil at third. . Killian walked, filling the bases. McGorty srounded out, Meek to Brassil.. Only one Academy man got to first in their half. 2 Fitzgerald replaced Keenan in cen- ter field. Elliott flied to Ringland. Reeves met one square and drove it to deep center. Titzgeralg just missed catching the ball after a hard run and then threw wild, Reeves getting to third. He was caught off the bag by Counihan, however. . With the bases full again .as the result of bases on balls Knox flied to Ringland. The audiende which had patiently stood a biting wind until the sixth in- ning had dwindled to about a dezen when the Academy came to bat in the €ighth. Gloom reigned supreme on the Academy bench ang visibly deepened when Brewer lined to Reeves. Fitz- gerald signalizéd his entry into Acad- emy athletics by hitting out a single. Meek walked. McKnight was safe when they tried for Fitzzerald. Hull came to bat again with the bases full and lined out a pretty double, scoring Fitzgerald and Meek. Sayles, the next man up, also got a two-base clout Pringing in McKnight. Ceunihan sent a' wicked grounder to . Eliott. who missed it, letting in Hull and Sayles. Ringland fanned. Brassil was hit by the pitcher. Brewer - grounded . out, Fassmore to Reeves. Bitzood Jined a wicked drive to Sayles, who nailed it one hand, although he nearly stood on his head ~while doing so.

MILLER MEETING OBSTACLES IN ARRANGING BOUT Twin Cities No Longer Certain Willard-Fulton Fight. of Paul, Minn., Aptil 20.—The prob- ability that the championship fight be- tween Jess Willard ang Fred Fulton would be held in the twin cities. on July 4 dwindled to a possibility today. More obstacles were met by the pro- moter, Col. J. C. Miller. He announced that he would mark time until Tuesday, when the Minne- sota Safety commission would formal- ly consider the advisability of permit- ting the contest, but it became known that he was considering offers from other cities. Numerous protests filed at the cap- ital, coupleq with the announcement that the safety commission would be guided by public opinion, causeq un- certaint: Colonel Miller has intimated that he is interested in the move to have the fight staged at Camp Grant, Rockford, TI.

SPORTING NOTES Little Pete Kilduff is the king pin of the Cubs’ infield, but he soon may be called to the colors. Clark Griffith’s Washingtons surprise the sharps. pitchers and some solid hitters. may Jack Hendricks, manager of the Cardinals, opines that Horstman will be one of his most effective pitchers. Stuffy Mclnnis, in spite. of Connie Maek's assertion that he couldn’t play third base, is a big success in that po- sition. Uncle Robbie is sure that the Brook- lyn pitchers will come through. If Pfeffer stands up Flatbush fans may forget the past. John McGraw is enthusiastic over his new pitcher, Jess Barnes, who is expected to be a big winner with the Giants behind him. < It is estimated that Uncle Sam will collect $600.000 from mgjor league games this year as a result of the 10 per cent war tax on admissions. As soon as the major league clubs begin to ask for waivers on their He has great | § | a— young pitchers Miller Huggins will throw out his grappling hooks. Sam Crawford, who swanted $3,000 to play. with a major league club, may have to. be satisfied with half that amount if he plays on the coast. Jesse Winters is the name of a new pitcher who bobbed up in the camp of the Giants at Marlin. He is‘listed as a find of Joe Gardner’s and is sajd to hail from Los Angeles. g Manager Jack Flynn will take his Shore Line ‘team to Stonington Tues- day to play Stonington High. @ He has secured “Ed” Murray, former N. F. A. captain, to do the twirling. The car- men can’t see where Stonington has a chance. y Al Bowman, who pitched for the Toledo association team .last year and the year before and formerly had his trial in the American league is to ° get another chafice, Manager Huggins of the Yankees having’ taken him on.

He is.in Class One A of the draft and expects an early call. 4. Young George O'Neill, the..kid catcher picked up by John McGraw in St. Louis, seems to have made a great hit at Marlin and though he may not be retained this season, ‘because the Giants have three or four. catch- ers, McGraw is sure to keep a string on him. - P Pitcher Jimmy Lavander ~asked Manager Pat Moran to send him to Atlanta, where he would be able to play near his home town' of Monte- zuma, Ga. Lavander has a farm at Montezuma and thinks his duty to Uncle Sam requires that he sees that a full crop is grown on it. Connie Mack’s refusal to pay Jake Munch to salary he demands may leave that young man to his coal business this season. Atlanta, which traded Munch to Mack, is said to have made other plants for its first base job and doesn’t care to take Jake back, and it’s certain Connie Mack won't take on any man who doesn't agree with Connie as to saldry. With thé addition of Pratt and Bodie the Yankees now have four players who have batted in ‘clean-up positions. Pipp has been clean-up man for the Yanks, Baker for the Athletics and Yanks, Bodie for ‘the Athletics and Pratt for the Browns. -Bodieand Pratt both are right-handed batters who will give the Yanks a much bet- ter balanced batting lineup than last season. . New York experts in picking . Mil- ler Huggins' team for him in ad- vance, gave little consideration to Sam. Vick, the Memphis rookie, but .Sam seems to have made‘a big imipression on Huggins just'thé 'same. Hug may make the mistake of going dgainst the wishes of the New York expe! and pick his own ball club, with Vi included in the lineup. First thimx Hug knows they won't have any use for him on Gothams’' newspaper. rows . 3 According to the truthful : corré- spondents in San Antonio Bobby Wal- along in his second quarter cen- as a major league player, is the liveliest youngster in Jack Hepdrick$’ camp and he may yet win a regular infield berth. He might do.better at second base than. anything else ‘the Cardinals have in sight at that. That's the big gap on the Cardinal team, even bigger than the gaping hole.in the.out- field.
