ALL BUT FOUR MEMBERS
 OF BRIDGEPORT TEAM SIGNED
Bob Griffith, Former Local Polo Star, Accused Of Throwing Game In
 Poughkeepsie

baseball team to Newfield- Park for an exhibition game next month are bright just at present. Bob Stow, who is a New Haven boy, is we'll ac- quainted with the Yale baseball off, cials and he has been trying to ar range things. He wrote to Manager McCann yesterday saying that he had seen Manager Hyde of the college team and that everything was all right. The local management expects to hear something definite from the Yale manager in a few days.
 The Clovers of this city claim the honor of tearing the lid off the base ball season. They went to Seaside Park, Saturday afternoon, and batted out few but found they couldn't see the fast ones very well.
 Local polo fans who remember Bob Griffith as the crack center of the Bridgeport polo team, will be surpris- ed to learn that he has been accused of throwing game in Poughkeepsie, N. Y., last Friday night. Newburg and Amsterdam were fighting for first place, and Friday nights games would Poughkeepsie and the latter team played so poorly that the crowd said Griffith and Soxy Lyons, the former New Britain halfback, were doing crooked work. Newburg won the game but Amsterdam beat Albany and thereby won the pennant by three points.
 Brooklyn beat Memphis of the Southern Association in an exhibition game, yesterday, by 8 to l. Nap Rucker pitched three innings for Brooklyn. Washington shut out the University of Virginia by Il to 0.
 Hot Springs, March 18-Robinson may be one of the twirlers in today S game between the Regulars and the Yannigans in the Pirate camp. He's the latest arrival. Mike Donlin was easily the star yesterday. In five times up Mike drove the pill out for a single, two doubles and a triple.
 Augusta, Ga, March 19-The notOr- ious jinx which followed Boston's for lorn hope, last year, made his ap- pearance here today to apply for a , job with the Braves, which is only a new name for the same club said jinX worked for last year. With the ex- ception of near-practices on the city playgrounds, Wards Braves haven't done enough real work to raise an ap- petite. Everybody is hopeful that the rainy season is over. But the ball park isn't expected to be fit for use before Wednesday.

(By Wagner.)

Secretary Reddy sent out notices to the members of the Bridgeport club to report at Newfield Park April 2 for practice. The date was originally set for April 3, but it was moved forward one day. All but four of the veteran Mechanics have forwarded their sign ed contracts. The four are Capt. Tom Crook, Bob Stow, Freddy Gibbs and Chief Snyder. All are satisfied with their treatment and will prob ably bring their contracts when they report. Gibbs was holding out for adjusted. The club had already given Gibbs two voluntary raises in salary and he finally came to the conclusion that he was not getting any the worst of it.
 The Newfield Park grounds are now being put into shape for the season. A section of fence on the western side had to be replaced and minor repairs are necessary on the grand stand. Groundkeeper Dave Nagle ex- poets to have the diamond rolled as smooth as one of Hi Ladd's billiard tables by the time the players re- port.
 Pitcher Carl Lundregn, the former Chicago Cub star who was with Hart ford in 1910, has signed to coach the Princeton Freshman squad.
 Kid Rehg, who was bought from Hartford. by the Boston Red SoX last season, is showing up we'll with Pitts burgh, by whom he was secured from Boston. The Pittsburg Dispatch says:
 Walter Rehg, the peppery little in fielder whom Pittsburgh secured by refusing to waive on him, is another player who started his diamond career as a pitcher Older players told him he was too light, and as he had an ambition to qualify for the big league he studied over the matter and de- cided that the dope was right. Then he worked hard as an 1nfielder and judging by the speed he has shown thus far, he has a chance of reten- tion.'
 It looks as if Eagles hall will be crowded Thursday night when the Crane No. 2 and Blue Ribbon basket ball lives play the first game in the series for the city championship The Crane rooters have been doing some lively betting on their team. There will be preliminary girls game, and dancing will follow.

BIG. LEAGUE GOSSIP

If size counts for anything, Clark Griffith will have a great array of pitchers. There is hardly a man on his twirling staff who is not over the 6-foot mark and weighs on an average of 19O pounds. Groom, Johnson, Walk CT, Hughes, Cashion, Becker and even Engle and Roy Johnson are all over 6 feet, and undoubtedly make up the tallest pitching staff of any team in either major league. Undersized pitch CTS are a rarity in fast company now adays. There are still two little men pitching good ball in the American League, Warhop of the Highlanders, and Krapp of Cleveland.
