Warrant for Arrest of Lewis.

In order to throw Lewis off the trail
as to the real significance of the police
information Capt. Tate had Powell
ask for warrant for the mans arrest
on the charge of violating an act of
assembly in that he had failed to sat
isfy a taxicab bill held against him
and that he had fed without paying it.
Powell went yesterday to Magistrate
MecIeary and obtained the warrant.
and this was given to Hodge and Far
rel of the murder squad to serve.
Lewis since his connection with the
mystery has defied the police with in
trepid GOODNESS. He has called up the
KYLE sisters each day and apparently
Police Tapped Telephone Wires.
Because of this daily talk over the
telephone the detectives planned to trap
him, but he warily evaded the plot
Miss Kyle was to ask him to join her
at dinner on Wednesday when he came
on the telephone. but she became so
nervous in playing her part that Lewis
instantly surmised that something was
amss.
He CURLY refused Miss Kyle's invi-
tation, but declared that he would call
her again at the same hour. The wires
were tapped and the detectives were
terday. They located the call as the
ferryhouse of the Pennsylvania rail-
road and learned that he would leave
for the shore.
A word to the police of the summer
resort, and then came the sensational
denouement that has only added more
mystery to one of the most battling
crimes in local detective annals.

former business manager of the St. Louis Americans, who although still under contract with the club signed a three year contract with the St. Louis club of the National league. .
 This announcement was made last night by President Ban Johnson after conference with Phil Ball, president of the St. Louis Americans. John- son said he had not sufficient time to consider all details of the case, and that until he had seen the contract between Ball and Hickey he was not prepared to say what, if any, action he would take.
 Ball returned to St. Louis last night. It is understood that court action to restrain Hickey from carry ing out the terms of his National league contract will be started in St. Louis tomorrow.
 Commenting on the suggestion that presidents of the major league clubs donate percentage of theirs re- cefpts to the American Red Cross to be used in case the United States be- comes involved i'm war President Johnson said:
 That is a question entirely up to the club owners. I desire to hold my opinion in abeyance. I do not wish to have the impression gained that I am dictating a policy for them to pursue in that regard"

BASEBALL PRACTICE OPENS

Billy Lauder Gets Eli Baseball Candi-
 dates in Harness Very Early-Sea-
 son Opens Saturday.
 New Haven. March 27.-Yale base ball players yesterday took their first outdoor practice of the season, spend ing two hours on the Yale Field dia- mond. Not in many years have they left the cage as early. Weather con- ditions indicated a full weeks prac- ticc before their opening game on Sat- urday. and nearly two weeks before they start south, unless the threatened war enlistments cause all the Yale athletics to be abandoned.
 Coach Lauder shifted the players continually, as two full hines of vet eran players were available. All of last years players. except Captain Vaughn and Shortstop Johnson, who have left college, were in their usual positions. Captain Harry LeGore was at third base and Lyman at short stop most of the afternoon.
 Of the pitchers Garfield Comerford, and Davey, a former Oberlin star. appeared in best form Nudge and Munson are being used for the reg, ular bacllstop work. Coach Lauder said last night that his lineup for Sat urday's game with the New Haven Colonials was far from settled.

WAR MAY PREVENT
 COLLEGE REGATTA
Rowing Stewards Will Decide
 Matter at Meeting Tomorrow

New York, March 27.-The wars effect on intercollegiate rowing in the east, and more particularly on the Ponghkeepsie regatta, scheduled for June 21, will be the principal topic of discussion at meeting of the Stewards of the Intercollegiate Row. ing Association tomorrow morning in the office of the chairman, Charles Halsted Mapes, the Columbia steward.
 Although it was indicated unofh- cially last night that the stewards in no manner wanted the impression to go broadcast that the regatta would be cancelled this year positively, the possibility of no race will be dis cussed and other rowing plans, which are virtually held in abeyance under the war cloud, will be considered. No official statements have issued from the three member universities represented on the board of stewards, Columbia, Pennsylvania and Cornell, whether athletics would be halted immediately on a declaration of a state of war by this country, but 1t is known that sports, and particularly the crews, at Harvard and Yale would probably have to be dropped because of the number of athletes who would answer call to arms.
 The stewards tomorrow morning will. also discuss the crews to be in- vited to compete this spring in case the regatta is held as scheduled. None of the board would state last night whether Syracuse would get an invita- tion as usual, but it has been the opinion of many rowing experts for several weeks that no objection would be raised against Jim Ten Eyck's eights when the time for considering invitations came due.
 It is likely that invitations will be extended to California, Washington, and Stanford University, the three coast crews. The date of the Pacific coast regatta has not been set defin- itely, but it will be held either on April z or April 14.

He was committed at the request of his wife. Symptoms of his affliction made their appearance several months ago when he was swindled of thousands, bought trace horses which proved to be cripples and in vested money in worthless property of all description. He is said to be worth about $200.OOO still. Phy- sicians say his recovery is doubtful.

 Joseph Cronin, sometimes referred to as a pool player with interna- tional honors, proved easy picking for Frank Burns of Patterson, N.
