YALE RESUMES
 ATHLETICS UNDER WAR RESTRICTIONS

New Haven. April 14-Ya1e has re- sumed athletics. but only in a re- stricted fashion, and purely in con- nection with military training. Cap tain Robert Danford, head>of military instruction, yesterday met the cap tains and managers of athletic teams and outlined plans for giving all the students who are training for the Off, cers' Reserve Corps athletic drill.
 Prof. Robert Corwin, chairman of the athletic committee, announced that all athletic contests had been cancelled by the university. Captain Danford said, in speaking of plans for sports:
 'I should like to send to the ath- 1etic field or boathouse every after noon several p1atoons to take athletic exercises under supervision of some one who will direct their track ath- letics, scrub baseball or rowing Gen. era1 athletics at this time will be a great military advantage as physical health is a great asset for a soldier This has long bNen understood in Ger many, where instruction in athletics is given by younger military officers 9
 Although the soldiers will be given daily athletics no contests with out side universities will be arranged.

(By Wagner.)

:. The name of the Bridgeport base ball club has been changed from Hust1ers to Americans. This change was decided upon by President Clark Lane and Manager Krichen at the same time 1t was arranged to have small American flags on the left side of the shirt of the local uniforms. The home uniforms will be white with a small black stripe and the road suits will be gray with dark blue and red stripe. The uniforms will be dis played next week in the American Hardware Go. windows.
 That Manager Krichell is not satis- fled with the candidates for the job o1 second catcher is indicated by the fact that he is trying to land a sea soned backstop. He started last night on scouting trip which will include stops at New York, Newark, Philadel- phia and Baltimore. He said while in this city yesterday that he wanted one more crack pitcher and then his team will be complete. ShortstoI Martin, the former National leaguer purchased from Syracuse, is still hold ing out, but Manager Krichell thinks he will come to time The local play CTS have been ordered to report al the Hotel Atlas, April 22.
 Matchmaker Sammy Hollis of the Moose boxing show, has arranged tc have Bud Palmer meet Johnny Mar tin of Daf1bury in the second prelim- mary. The bout is scheduled for 1C rounds.
 Billy Gleason, the infelder who played with Lynn last season, is be- ing praised by Pittsburgh writers and may be retained by the Pirates as utility man.
 If the Yale-Harvard, Yale-Princetor and other big football games are called off next fall, the Army-Navy contest will be the big gridiron event of the season.

FRANK MORAN
 PUTS COWLER
 OUT IN FOURTH

New York, April 14-Tom Cowler, thought he could develop into heavy weight boxing champion of the world, is fast creeping up. on Fred McCay's record for high diving. Tom took night when Frank Moran, of Pitts burgh, laid violent hands upon him in the fourth round of a bout that was intended to go to the tenth bell at the Harlem Sporting club.
 When the fight came to an end Cowles was down on hands and knees giving an imitation of the Dying Gladiator. He had been down for a count of nine before this and he was so badly exhausted that it would have been a shame to have al- lowed him to continue even had he been able to drag himself to his feet
 If the fact has not already perco- lated through Cowler's head this fight should be enough to convince him that the f1stic arena is not for him. In some respects Tim is a good deal like Bombardier Wells. Set him up against wooden man and he shines like a meteor, but when he is asked to receive as we'll he soon crumples 1t was this way last night. For three rounds Tom boxed cleverly and land- ed many stinging blows on Moran's face, but Moran was able to take all that was given him, and in the fourth Cowler was ready to drop from sheer exhaustion. His hands were hangin limp by his sides and the reason that Moran did not knock him to slumber- land long before he did is that the Pfttsburgher is no marksman
 There was an incident at the end of the third round that looked as if it might swing the fight the other way. Battling head to headsin a neu- tral corner the two appeared to have forgotten that there was such a thing as a bell and just as Kid Mcfarland. the referee, forced himself between them Cowler swung a solid right that landed fair and square on Moran's jaw and sent that fighter reeling back across the ring. So badly was Frank shaken that he rolled from side to side and only saved himself from tep- bling over by holding on to the ropes.
 There was g. noisy demonstration against Cowler,' but as a matter of fact Moran was the one to blame. ,Ho had Cowler pinned in a{corner and had driven several blows home after the bell before Cowler took it, into his head to retaliate.r 1, a.<- ,,..-. trl Moran came out of his corner for the fourth round clearly bent : on squaring accounts. His furious attack swept Cowler off his feet Moran weighed POI pounds and ,Cowler 215 pounds. 4A .. srfas1..

M'GRAW HANDED
 CUBS WORST OF
 ZIMMERMAN DEAL

New York, April 14From all in- dications, McGraw handed the Cubs a carload of citron when he procured Heine Zimmerman in the deal en- gineered with Joe Tinker last season. In addition to sending Larry Doyle to Chicago, McGraw threw in for good measure Herb Hunter, a scholastic infie1der, and the Giants claim on Merwin Jacobson, ar infielder.
 Doyle slowed up so much on the Giants that despite the fact that Mo- Graw was so fond of Larry as any man who ever played for him, Mac could no longer bear to watch him play second base. Now Larry has a bad ankle in the bargain and may not play 100 games for Weeghman. Hun terSw released the other day to an American Association club and yes terday the Cubs announced the release of Jacobson to Toronto. They still re- tain an option on Jacobson. The Cubs also released Pitcher Lynch to To- ronto.

EVERS DECLARES GIANTS HAVE BIG
 HEADS THIS YEAR

Boston, Mass, April 14-It was Fri unintellectual cities. Also the aqua pure or pura fell from the heaven in- termittently hitting the tortoise-shell- ed glasses of the learned as well as the sleeping foreheads of the unintel- igent This leads up to the impor- tant fact that the Giants did not dis port their manly forms on Braves Field yesterday afternoon.
 There would not be much worth spending tolls on, only for Johnny Evers, the man who invented second base, saying few words. Johnhy is also the man that did the policeman act'' on Fred Merkle one bright au- tumn afternoon several years ago. We'll, getting back to Johnny, he let loose the following diatribe:
 "AIl those Giants need little bump ing and then their hats will fit their heads"
 That, as you know, citizens of New York, is nothing less than treason Even Johnny must admit that we con- cede the National League pennant to the Giants. Mot that we know the other clubs are so weak, but simply we concede it, that's enough. Johnny added that the Braves would remove the humps during the season.
 Sherry Magee committed les ma- jesty, also, for he took a slap at the pitching staff of the Giants. In fact Sherry says the Giants don't know what pitching staff looks like Sherry is probably all swel1ed up because he did a little hitting yester- day. Rabbit" Maranville thinks the Braves will surely beat the Giants.
 All that true blue New Yorker can do in this case is to turn on the Braves as a bunch of German spies when they hit the big town. At the same time it must be taken into con- sideration that the Braves have not won single game from the Giants The Giants case is diametrically op- posite.
 pitching staff is not in marvellous con- dition, neither is any other aggrega- tion Some one of these fine days the attention of the moguls will be called to the disastrous early openings You'll see if it won't.
 The Braves will hardly get much use of Evers this season, for the little dynamo's arm went bad again. He hurt 1t on the southern trip an6 nursed it along to the opening game but the kick was lacking. Withou, Evers the Braves will be terribl, handicapped.

NAME OF BRIDGEPORT CLUB
 IS CHANGED TO AMERICANS
Manager Krichell Wants Seasoned Backstop-
 Local Players to Report April P.

Armando Marsans, the Cuban who gained his baseball start as mem Der of the New Britain club, is going at fast clip for the Sc. Louis Browns He made two hits against the White Sox yesterday.
 Tom Cowler may not be much of a fighter but he will soon set 8 world s record for diving. It is getting so now that as soon as the other fellow climbs into the ring, Cowler prepares to dive through the ropes.
 Johnny Evers will not be able to play regularly for a month, according to reports from Boston. An attack of neuritis is still troubling him so that he can't move his left shoulder with out pain. Without Evers the Braves may get off to bad start and thereby lose their chances for the pennant.
 In order to get somebody to pitch to his players in morning practice, Manager Robinson of Brooklyn has offered to instruct all promising youngsters and give them jobs with minor league clubs. Robinson says his players need batting practice and he can't spare his regular hurlers to do the work.
 Maggert, who played the outfield for Springfield several years ago and was one of the most dangerous hit ters, in the old Connecticut league. is with Los Angeles of the Coast league again this season.
 The Toledo club of the American association, of which Ray Heating is a member, has started poorly. The team has lost it's first three games. Most of the players are men who formerly wore the New York Ameri- can uniform.
