 SCOVILLE TO
 RETURN TO YALE


 New Haven April 27.-More stress IS being laid on spring football praetAce at Yale this year than ever before, Captain Aleck Wilson said last night Yesterday marked the start Of the sec .ond week of, practice Seventy-eight men are in the squad and are report ing regularly,
 Yale football hopes took jump when Carroll Knowles and Mel. SeoV14 both halfbacks, on last falls team, re- ported for spring football practice and declared their intention of coming back Eext fall to play football. They are both enrolled in the Sheffield Scientific school where there is rule that a man may extend his course. which or dinariIy covers three years, to four yearss provided he gives advance mo- tice
 The reta1zn of these two men next fall means &11@& Coach Frank Hfnkey of yeteTane wtean which to start the season.
 Football praCticeSthus far this. spring has been strenuous, fully. as much so as the regular fall practice. It is. said that Coach Hinkeys has decided to re- turn to the old policy of hard work for the men. Last fall under Captain Talbott, the plan was to make bhe daily practises as much like a real game as possible, with the idea that the more fun the men got out of the game the better they would be able to play it.
 There was some criticism on this point from graduates who viewed the disastrous results of last season as due partly to this policy

FISHER WINS 3RD STRAIGHT
 FOR YANKEES

New York, April 27.-Wild Bill Donovan's bunch of Yankees kept their batting eyes on the ball all day yesterday at. the Polo Grounds with the result that they pounded ont to 2 victory over the Washington Senators and earned undispnt s5 right to the second rung of tue champion ship ladder.
 They pounded southpavt Joe Boea1- ingss, curves for a dozen hits, one of which was a triple while the bases were all occupied and another a home run when two men were on the bags
 Ray F'ishef, the Vermont school master. was on the mound for he Tanks and was very effective. Be sides, he received excellent support from his team mates< and at no stage of the contest was he in trouble.
 The Yankees were without the scr- vices of Birdie Cree in centreheld While practising before the game the little centrehelder was hit on the nose by a thrown ball. An exarnin- ation showed a broken bone and he was shipped to the hospital for treat 'nent. Bauman. the Providence re- cruit, took his place in centrefelds and played good ball.

SEND OLD UNIFORMS
 TO SING SING

New York. April 27-An important piece of criminal news leaked out yesterday when it became known that all the old uniforms, gloves and shoes which used to belong to the Yankees had all been sent up to Sing Sing for life. It has been suspected for some time they would come to no good end. When the owners of the Yankees heard about the new outlaw league formed at the prison they decided to equip the players with all the nec- essary scenery.
 They shipped up enough uniforms, shoes, gloves, bats and balls to doll up twenty-eight players. In the regalia of the major leaguers it is expected that the new league will play better bali than ever before. Also the desire to get into new uniforms will be so strong that the competition to play on the teams will be very close.
 Thomas Mott Osbornes President of the new league, sees in the game of baseball a cornmendab1e means of giving the prisoners something pleas ant. and interesting to think about

M'VEY TO FIGHT JOE JEANETTE IN
 BOSTON TONIGHT

Boston, April 27-sam Mcvey of California and Joe Jeanette of New York have been signed up by the Atlas A. A. of Boston to engage in a. 12 round bout tonight
 The public Is anxious to see Mcvey in action on account of the good re- ports of his previous contests in this and other countries. McVey would have been the heavyweight champion today, if Johnson had consented to give him a chance at the title instead of Jess Willard
 Johnson must have known he stood no chance with the clever Californian and would only agree to box an ex- hibition with McVey. This exhibition in which McVey beat Johnson at all angles of the game, was the first true line the public had regarding John sons actual condition.
 Joe, Jeanette's victory over Sam Langford two weeks ago, was the big gest surprise handed out in years and if McVey can win over the rugged Jeanette, tonight, he will not want for future matches.

NEW MOVE TO EXHIBIT FIGHT
 FILMS IN US,

Newark, N. J., April 27.=The own CTS Of the motion picture rights of the WilIard-Jo Johnson fight arc. about to make a determined effort to bring the fight films into this country in spite of the Federal sta ute passed just after the trouble that arose over the Jeffries-J ohnson pictures, which prohibits the importation of prize fight pictures. The present plan of campaign brings the picture question to the point of. deciding whether the present Federal statute is eonstitu- tional.
 The first step in the effort to obtain entry was taken yesterday when a de -mand was served on the Deputy Col Iector Of the Port Of Newark that he admit the films. There was the for rnaI refusal OF the ground of the ex- isrtng Federal statute. This action was expected bysthose behind the 5ef- fort to bring in the pictures, but was necessary so that the way might be cleared for further legal action. to test the statute on constitutional grounds
 Former United States Senator Chas 4. Towne. who is representing the promoters, announced Immediately after the refusal by Deputy Collector Frederick s. Freed that he would ap. ply to Judge Thomas c. Haight for { 1 mandatory injunction to prevent ths Collector of the Port of Newark from refusing to perm3tN the entry of ths pictures.
 It is proposed to apply for the in l junction Friday, and the question vii probably, be argued about a week Ia ter. It is probable that the entiro questfon will be fought out in New ark. It was learned that the picture are now in Canada being developed and they will be brought to Newarl as soon as the work is finished anc
 held there pending the decision of tn,

TESREAU BREAKS LOSING STREAK >OF
 UNLUCKY GIANTS

New York, April 274-As far as the standing of the National League is concerned the Giants still revolve in last position even if they vanquished the Brooklyn team yesterday at Eb- bets Field at score of to 0, after having lost seven straight games.
 Jeff Tesreau worked like a real Ozarker to humble the naughty Dodg- CTS, which he did. And Jeff did all of this and only allowed these chesty individuals two measly hits all through the pastirne.
 Wheezer Dell, who twiried for the Brooklyn aggregation, allowed only six hits. At that he deserved defeat, for didn't he trample the Giants into the dirt last Thursday? And to show what sWheezer Dell deserved and re- ceived it is only right to mention that he faced Jeff three times and on each occasion famed the atmosphere on the third strike.
