cifications, the Turks announced that
they were ready to make negotiations
leaving the question of the provisioning
Adrianople to be settled with Bulgaria
and abandoning the request to revictual
Scutari and Janina. The Turks listened
to the proclamation of the fate of THEN
European empire without formal con
ment and asked for an adjournment un
til Saturday to consider the allies de
mands.
Later. the Turks asserted that II
would be impossible for them to meet
such terms
The atmosphere of the stately coun

feeling throughout the session, because
all recognized that the negotiations are
designed to change the map of modern
Europe.
The Turkish delegates announced that
they were empowered to treat with all
the allies. Greece not excepted.
The opinion here among the diplomats
is that Peace ultimately will be con

Shakeup In Yale
 Crew By Rodgers
Moving Pictures of Oarsmen in
 Action at New Haven

Head Coach Rodgers of the Yale crew announces another shakeup in / the first boat York has been moved . from No. 2 to No. in Philbin's place and Bugbee has taken York's seat at No. 2. The varsity now has five mem- bers of last years champion fresh man eight and Captain ROmeyn at No is the only veteran. Oldenborg at No. rowed against Pennsylvania at Springfield last year and was a ssubstitute with the crews at Gales Ferry last year.
 Moving pictures of the Yale Var sity crew in action were taken during the practice on the harbor Saturday by the Biograph company of New York. The machine with an expert operator was placed in the bow of Payne Whitney's speed boat "Tar- pon' and covered the Yale oarsmen over a distance of about a mile and a half. a
 A number of graduate coaches were up from New York and followed the work of the crews with very close attehtion. The varsity raced the sec ond University crew and were beaten after a very close fight at the finish by four feet. Both crews showed up we'll seem to have mastered the ..Bob'' Cook stroke and are fast round- ing into form. It was the general opinion that the varsity didn't let themselves out and were perfectly content with a close race.
 The make up of i. the boat Saturday was as follows: Bow, Gore; No. 2, Bugbee; No. 3, Stevenson; No. A., York; No. 5. Oldenborg; No. 6, Dem man: No. ', ROmeyn; stroke, Snow den. coxswain, Badger.

Mike Gibbons To
 Fight Sid Burns
Big Bout May be Staged in
 Madison Square Garden

Sidney Burns, the British welter- weight champion, who arrived last week for the purpose of, meeting Mike Gibbons of St. Paul, will be, accom- modated. George McDonald, who, is looking after the Briton's affairs, c. New York. yesterday that he was ready to accept any fair proposition. Hurst informed McDonald that he was in communication with Gibbons and that Mike was anxious to show his skill in the big arena. A match hinges on just how much Mcdonald is willing to let Gibbons have for his end. The Garden A. G., sticking to a fixed policy, will give 50 per cent of the gate money to the boxers. As a Burns-G Gibbons scrap would be of in- ternational interest, moving pictures, figure in arranging the details.
 Gibbons and Burns will have no trouble over the weight question as each is ready to make 148 pounds at o'clock. But Gibbons, it is thought. may hold out for big money. The St. Paul boxer, undoubtedly great draw ing card, has never received more than $3, 800 for a single bout. He got that much when he defeated Jack eDenning at the Fairmont A. c. several weeks ago and for whipping Jeff Smith in subsequent bout he received 5000. known. but in that short period he has disposed of all the leading well terweights-Denning, Willie Lewis, Jeff Smith, Freddie Hicks, Young Cashman, Walter Coffey and others and has slowed $25.000 away. Gib- bons is regarded by many as the coming middleweight champion. He is growing rapidly and before the end of the year he will stack up against Dillon, McGoorty or Frank Klaus. Meanwhile, when least expected, he finds another welterweight challenger in Burns, who in all probabilities will not be allowed to get by.

This Week In Sports

Among the sporting events of the coming week the Kentucky Derby, the Montreal Horse Show and the Inter- national Aero Show in New York loom up as among the most important
 Since it was inaugurated in 1875 the Kentucky Derby, to be run next Sat urday at Churchill Downs, Louisville, has been one of the great classics of the American turf. The Derby has been full of surprises from it's first running when Chesapeake, considered c certain winner, was left behind by the underrated Aristides, until last year, when Meridian, son of the great Broomstick, broke the track record for the mile and a quarter by cover ing the distance in 2:05. The 1911 Kentucky Derby was touted as two horse race between Round the World and Governor Gray. but Meridian was off from the post in front and never headed. The big event of the week on English tracks will be the Kemp ton Park Great Jubilee Handicap, to be run next Saturday. Another turf event of interest to harness racing men will be the meeting in Chicago on Tuesday of the board of appeals, the supreme court of the American Trotting Association. The thirteenth annual Montreal Horse Show, to be fnaugurated on Tuesday, will attract horse lovers from all over the Do- minion as we'll as many from the United States. Their Royal High

SIX PLAYERS ARE FINED

Conn. League Head Says He Has Not Yet
 PenaIized Bridgeport For Using Carroll

Farmer Saturday night, but did not impose any fines. 1T will give the Bridgeport management a nearing be- fore taking any action," says the league ruler. ''It would not be fair to fine the Bridgeport club for play ing Carroll until I have heard both sides of the case. l understand that Bridgeport obtained Carroll from Troy in a trade and it may be possible that McCann was entitled to use the man. !"
 President O'Rourke also characteriz- ed as untrue the report that he had fined the New Britain and Hartford clubs $50 for playing an exhibition game in New Britain yesterday in vio- lation of the rules. There may have been extenuat ting circumstances" de- clared the president, land we will probably talk the matter over at a league meeting"
 Another question to be discussed is the postponement of the Holyoke-New Haven contest at Lighthouse Point yesterday It is said that the East Shore Amusement Co.,, which controls the grounds, called the game off with out consulting the teams.
 Under the terms of the agreement the ground owners have to pay each s2OO for a Sunday game and on ac- count of the bad weather they prob ably thought it would mean finan- cial loss The league won't stand for any such actions as that, however. The Holyoke team made the trip to the Point and Owner Dan O'Neil was pretty sore.

B. H. s. PLAYERS
 BEAT MONTCLAIR
Great Baserunning and Coulter's Cir
 cult Clout Are Features.

The Bridgeport High School team covered itself with glory, Saturday, by beating the Montclair Academy team of Montclair, N. J., by to 3. The Jersey boys have one of the fastest teams in that section and the local youngsters did not have much hope of victory. They followed the instruc- tions of Coach Terry Rogers, however, and ran wild on the bases. As soon as a player reached first he made a dash for second These tactics sent the Montcleair team up in the air and Bridgeport scored seven runs on four hits. In the second inning First Baseman Coulter of B. H. s. slammed out home run, scoring Capt. Hamil- ton ahead of him. Kaeman pitched good ball for Bridgeport, allowing but seven scattered hits.
 Here is what the New York Tribune says of the battle:
 Through daring work on the bases, the Bridgeport High School succeeded in defeating the Montclair Academy team on the latter's field yesterday by a score of z to 2. Ettor was in splen- did form for Montclair, allowing only four hits. In the second inning Coul- ter, of the Connecticut team, slam med the ball to deep center for a home run, scoring Hamilton, who had reach ed second.

 becomes dismay; When the stronger go to cursing and
 the weaker simplys pray, If anyone can get a grouch you can
 not chase away It is pretty Mamie Burke at the ball game. And now and then player will heave
 a long drawn sigh, And to a, certain portion of the grand

THE TWO BILLS'
 GIVE NO STREET PARADE

Through not giving a street parade the management of Buffalo Bills Wild West and Pawnee Bills Far East which appear here Wednesday has greatly added to the thrilling in- terest of their exhibition by afford ing the hundreds of people and horses in the Wild West, and the Oriental hordes and strange animals of the Far East section, an opportunity to enter the arena fresh and full of vim and go. thereby giving the patrons per formances worthy of the price they pay.

(By Wagner)

Players who bait the umpires are getting scsnt sympathy from Presi- dent O'Rourke of the Connecticut league. He has just announced a batch of fines that will make some of the players shy in their salary envel- opes. Manager Tom Connery of Hart ford is fined s10 for trying to assault Umpire Held in Springfield last Fri day and Billy Vann of Hartford Is fined $5 for rough work in the same game. Catcher Lemiuex of New. Bri- tain, who was put out of a game last week, is taxed a five spot.
 Pop Foster and ShortstOp Pope Of New Haven are fined $15 each. Pope had quite an argument with Umpire Wagner in New Haven last Wednes- day and was put out of the contest. That cost him $5 and the other SIG was for abusive language.
 Foster, who is generally very mild player became incensed because Um- pire Held wouldn't let him go to first after a ball had brushed his sleeve. He called the ump few names which were worth $10 The other $5 is tack ed on for the punishment from the game. Baker of Hartford is soaked $5 for picking on Umpire Colgate in the opening battle in New Britain.
 President O'Rourke said he had not fined the Bridgeport club $25. as sev- eral papers announced. He simply called the attention of the managers to the league rules, as stated in The

KRAMER HOLDS CYCLING
 TITLE BY BEATING COMES

Leon Comes, the tricky bicycle racer from Paris, more than met his match for his trickiness in Frank Kramer, the American champion, at the Velo- drome track in Newark, yesterday, when the American outgeneraled the French speeder in two straight heats of match race, best two in three. Tricky Comes found that he could get the better of the Yankee rider in jockeying for the start, forcing his opponent to take the pace, but the foreign rider didn't have the snap and dash to carry him to the tape in the final jump. Kramer showed that he still possesses the. greatest sprint among bicycle riders.
