But Winning Team Captain Says That Player is Merely Employed Tempora. rily in New York Offices of Company -Serious Dispute Threatened.

At present there is a great fight on among the directors of the Industrial league. If the plan of some of the managers is put through the Union Typewriter team, which now stands first in the league race with a clean slate of eleven victories will be knock ed out. It is claimed by some of the managers that Bill Regenery, the Yost third baseman, is not eligible to working in New York; coming to Bridgeport every Saturday to play with his club. RegeneryS has. played four games with his team since he went to New York. Only one of these contests has been protested, but if that one is carried the other three will go along with it. Protests have been in the breezes for the past three weeks but not till to-day did anything start ling happen, when the secretary of the league received the protest of the Crane No. 2 manager of the game played last Saturday. The Crane man ager sets up the claim that according to Article 4, Sec. 1, of the bylaws of the league, the team is playing a man who is not eligible, he not being a "bona f1de" employee of the company. Captain Keenan of the Yost team, when called on the phone, stated that Regenery was being played raegular- ly on the team, that he would be play ed in the game this Saturday against the No. 1 Crane team at Newf1eld park and that Regenery was a regu- lar employe of the Yost company. He explained that Regenery with about dozen other employees of the factory had been sent to the New York offices of the concern to do temporary work and that he would be back in Bridge port within a few weeks. He stated that he had a talk with the officials of the company, and that they author iZed him to use his man.
 The Yosts have yet to lose a game, and nothing that has bucked up against them so far has shown any kind of opposition. The magnates may look at the affair in a different might take this chance to make the league race more interesting.
 The Yosts probably would not take. kindly to the proposition of losing the games they have won, and might take a notion to get out of the organiza- tion. Such a thing would prove very detrimental to the league The Yosts have always had a fast aggregation while Yost field which is used only for industrial league games with one exception is the best baseball field in the city. The league would also lose a big source of revenue, as the col lections on Yost field have far sur passed the returns on all other fields.
 In the event of the Yost team los ing the four games, the standing would be changed materially, the No. 2 Crane Co.,, going first with eight wins and three defeats, while the No 1, Cranes and Yosts would be tied for second with seven wins and four de-. feats. s---,--.
