RAY HEATING KNOCKED OUT
 BY ST. LOUIS

New York, May 23-The Federa1iz- ed St. Louis Browns, carefully guided by Fielder Jones, may be taiIenders and all that, but, as bad as they are, they defeated the Yankees yesterday at the Polo Grounds by a score of to in 8 game that wasn't even as ex- citing as cricket.
 One of the most marvellous features of the St. Louis club is old Eddie Plank, the Gettysburg guide, who is now pitching his sixteenth year in baseball. He pitched eight innings and held the Yankees at bay with the same deceptive slow ball and crossf1re toss which made him famous. When the Tanks can't hit an old man like Plank, it will be pretty tough on them when Fielder Jones introduces some of his youngsters.
 Ray Heating started the game for the Tanks, and the combination of his twirling and numerous Yankee CT TOTS gave the Browns plenty of chance to get all the runs they needed. Keat- ing was rudely pounded off the hi11ock in the third round, Ray Fisher coming to the rescue after the game was well within the clutches of the Browns. Cliff Markle pitched the ninth inning, and it was lucky he wasn't put in until the ninth, for he received exceedingly rough treatment.
 Armando Marsans, the Cuban cen trefelder of the Browns, annexed all the glory that was in the game: He had three hits, including a home run off Fisher in the eighth. He also made a sensational running catch of Pipp's low fly in the seventh, nipping the ball off the top of the grass. George Sis1er, the young collegian who is playing first base for the Browns, was another star. Sis1er looks like the most promising bit of baseball talent that has come into the league in a long time.

(By Wagner.)

As result of the trouble at Sea side park last Saturday between Bridgeport High school and Hartford High school players, the Hartford school has severed athletic relations with the local institution. The Hart ford Courant this morning has a long story which recites the alleged bad treatment the Hartford boys received here.
 The trouble arose in the sixth in- ming of the game when Hartford was leading 4 to 2. Casey hit a two bag ger for Bridgeport and then Kie1ey made a home run, which tied the score. Hartford claimed the ball was foul and when Umpire Lynch refused to change his decision, the Hartford boys left the field after a long wrang1e.
 The Courant claims the umpire first called the ball foul and then changed his decision. Umpire Lynch denies this. Coach Brick1ey also says the spectators jeered and cursed the Hartford players, which the local boys also deny. The Courant con- tinues to say:
 ''The affair Saturday was by no means the first trouble that the local High school team has suffered by the unsportsmanlike conduct of teams connected with the Bridgeport High school. Last fall the members of the local basketball team were nearly beaten up by the Brigeport rowdies who attended the game, and once again the officials in charge did noth- ing to prevent the carrying out of the plan. The players were also allowed to get away with tactics which even disgusted members of their own schooI.''
 Not having witnessed the Saturday game we are unable to say whether the umpire was right or wrong in his decision which caused the trouble. But it seems that schoolboys should be taught to be sports1nan1ike, both in their conduct toward opponents and in their manner of accepting the umpire's rulings. The Hartford boys may have felt the umpire was unjust but it would have looked better if they had finished the game instead of quitting the field like disgrunt1ed children.
 Manager Ball received a letter from Pitcher Dye of Toronto yesterday asking for transportation and this was immediately wired him. He said he would report at once. Manager Birmingham of Toronto says Dye is a good twir1er whose only require ment is more experience. Bridgeport can use some capable twir1ers.

LOOK FOR NAVAL BATTLES
ON THE FRENCH CANALS
By Wilbur S. Forrest

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, Nov. 17.-Inland navies
may figure strongly soon in the war
news from the western front.
Constant pressure on the German
front by the Anglo-French, accord
iLg to the British war experts, must
inevitably mean a withdrawal of the
German line now lying across north
ern France and Flanders. This would
throw the Allies line near and across
various canals and rivers, and bring
g new branch of warfare into play.
This new branch would be inland ma
v;es, river and canal cruisers mount
ing fairly heavy guns and manned
by experienced men.
AS first announced by the United
Press correspondent on the French
front, General Foch's canal navy has
already been in action against heavy
German guns mounted ln Mt. St.
@, entin. These units, mostly moni-
tors, operate silently and slowly on
the canals skirting the crooked course
OF the River Somme. But in the ex-
treme north of France and south of
Belgium, it is pointed out, rivers and
canals are more spacious and afford
real opportunities for maneuvering
These waterways also interlock so
that separate units and fleets may
extend their activity to many areas.
Neither ordinary soldiers or sail
crs would operate the land-locked ma
vies. Such services as England's
Poyal Marine Light Infantry and
Royal Marine Artillery would serve.
These men are highly trained for
such work, as are their correspond
ing units in the French service.
The recent official announcement
here that Sir Archibald Paris and
other marine major generals have
Imperial Valley press., 1916-11-17

been sent to the front lends flavor
to the conjecture regarding the inland
navies.
That the Germans may have al
ready organized their inland navy is
indicated by the appearance Of great
numbers Of German marines on the
Som emfront. Some of these have
been captured.
While the real, seagoing navies
continue to watch their chance to
clash, it is believed not improbable
tlat the inland fleets may yet be
tie first to figure again in the news
