(By Wagner.

With the opening of the league sea- son only few days on Friday Owners Cornen and Knorr of the Bridgeport club are making frantic efforts to get a few new players Harry Cornen is trying to get Paul Kritchel1, the old St. Louis backstop, for manager and expects to close negotiations with To- ronto before the International 1eaguers leave tonight. Kritchen is the property Of Toronto. He made his start as a Hartford catcher in the old Connecticut league but has been in the International and American leagues since then. He is a heady backstop and ought to make a good leader.
 Manager Joe Birmingham of To- ronto absolutely refuses to let Neal Ball go so it looks as if Bridgeport could not get the local boy as man ager. Bob Thompson, the first base man secured from the Newark club, reported this morning. He will be ueed against Lovely in the opening game and so will Joe Gaudette, the former Colonial league outhelder,, who arrived yesterday afternoon. Gau- dette was a 300 hitter in the outlaw league.
 The local magnates> are satisfied to start with Edwards. Gaudette and Moshier in the outf1e1d but want couple of infielders. In any event Second Baseman Pastori and Short stop Stewart will be carried for a few weeks until the league rules make it necessary to cut down the squad. Then if they contint9e to show promise they may be farme x out.
 Magnate Knorr arrived home this morning from the Eastern league meeting in Boston. He says they didn't didn't do anything but ratify the sale of the Bridgeport franchise. Several other clubs wants Pitcher Bill Martin of the locals but as Bridgeport has just purchased him from Lynn, there is no chance for him to get away. E A delegation of local fans will go to South Norwa1k tonight to see Al Ketche1 of this city tackle Battling Kunz in the star bout of Harry Smiths show. KetcheI has been training hard and hopes to win from Kunz.

The demand for professional ten his instructors continues to increase with each succeeding season and there is every indication that the sup ply will prove entirely inadequate during the coming summer. Every English coach, who is in this coun- try at the present time, is tied up to some prominent club by a con tract which is satisfactory to both contracting parties. A large number of the smaller. clubs, as we'll as the leading colleges and preparatory schools, are searching in vain for men who have the skill and ability to teach the technique and strategy of tennis.
 There, are many American players who are fitted to take these positions, which pay good salaries, but they do not care to lose their amateur status and cannot afford to give the time necessary to successful coaching the National Association and the clubs desiring a regular coach are confronted by a problem which does not promise to be easily solved. The remarkable growth of the court game in the past few years is responsible for the entry of large numbers Of boys and young men who desire to be taught the proper manner in which to make the various strokes and the real science of both singles and doubles play. For the present at least there appears to be little chance of their securing instruction except from such amateurs as can spare the time to developing the few who give promise of graduating into the ranks of the stars as a result of the coach ing afforded them.
