FRUSH Is TRAINING
HARD FOR WOLFE GO

Baltimore. March 22.-with what
has every appearance of proving the
hardest fight OF his career in pros
pect, it is only natural that Danny
Frush, the English boxer. now living
in this city, should be going through
the hardest training he has ever ex-
perienced. He is slated for a fifteen
round bout with Jack (Kid) Wolfe, of
Cleveland, next Wednesday night. be-
fore the Pickwick Athletic Club. at
Albaugh's Theater, and fans are look
ing forward to It as one of the most
brilliant exhibitions Of the art of self
defense seen here in a long while.
Just now Frush Is getting some very
efficient help in training from Kid
Norfolk, the local colored heavy
weight, who is owner of the heavy
weight title of Panama. Norfolk has
proved himself a real topnotcher in
every way and he has been teaching
Frush some tricks of the trade from
in close range standpoint. Norfolk
Is not acting as a sparring partner,
but working with FTush and at the
same time getting in shape for his
six-rounder next Monday night with
Jack Thompson. before the Olympia
Club, in Philadelphia. The dusky-
hued battler Is furnishing Frush with
just the sort of thing that he needs,
and It should stand him In very good
stead when he faces Wolfe next We'd
nesday night.

YALE NOT TO ENTER
In SEVERN REGATTA

New Haven, Conn, March a.
Yale has definitely announced that
the varsity crew will not enter the
intercollegiate race which IL to be
held on the Severn at Annapolis
Although Yale representatives were
at the recent meeting OF the Amer
ican Rowing Association in New
York, which formulated the latest
plan for a pretentious regatta to
take the place of Poughkeepsie and
New London, and favored the idea,
the university's authorities at New
Haven have frowned on the pro-
ject. and Yale will not send a crew
to the Naval Academy regatta.
In giving reasons for coming to
this decision. Prof. Abbott, who is
in charge of the crews, points out
that with the casualties growing
every day, the university does not
believe that the crew should take
part in a big celebration such as
the proposed regatta.
The action of Yale, II is believed,
will now have an effect on the atti-
tude at Harvard and Princeton, and
it is possible that the Severn re-
gatta may be abandoned. although
outside of the three institutions
mentioned the sentiment for the
regatta is very strong. Yale is will
ling to take part in dual regattas,
but refuses to participate in any
thing which resembles a rowing
spectacle.

Bert Shotton opened the battle
with q single to center and moved
up on Fosters knock past Shanks.
Waldbauer then developed a wild
streak and issued free transporta-
tton to Milan and Rice, forcing
Shotton across the platter. Foster
and Milan scored on Rupley's boot
OF Morgan's grounder. while Rice
Tailed when Ainsmith hit safely to
left field. Uncle Nick took up
waldbauer's burden in the fourth
session and set the vets down in
order, but two doubles by Judge and
Morgan, and Shanks' and Rupley's
miscues made it easy sailing for the
regulars to obtain two tallies in the
fifth. Again in the seventh these
veterans went to work on Uncle
Nick's slants and pushed across
three counters on two errors and
three blows. Milan beat out an in
field tap and went to third on
Shanks' boot. Judge was issued
bob and scored on Lavan's double
TO left field. Berman followed this
crash with a three-base knock to
left center, scoring Lavan.
Cass and Shanks started the Yam
nigans OF by drawing a base on
balls. Both runners moved up on a
wild pitch by the Hillsville mounds
man and June dented the pan when
Charity grounded to shortstop.
The Cubs did not score again until
the lucky seventh, when Uncle Nick
J.srted the ball rolling with line
y We to center field; Rupley OBJ

ribs and both runners moved up on

UP TO PFEFFER

Big Jess Pfefrer will not be
allowed to pitch for the Brook
lyns this year unless he first
obtains the consent of Secretary
Josephus Daniels. Pfefer stated
last December that he had en-
listed in the navy. whereupon
the Brooklyn club praised him
for his patriotism and placed
him on the voluntary retired
list" Pfeffer now says that he
may not be called into active
service until late next summer
and is anxious to play ball Col
Ebbets declares, however. that
his business relations with Pfef-
fer have been severed and that
that latter must file with the
National Commission an official
permit to return to the game to
be secured from the Secretary of
the Navy.

CENTRAL HIGH PLAYS
PREPS BASEBALL TEAM

Central High School, champion team
of last year, will battle the George
town Preps this afternoon, on the
varsity diamond. in the second of the
scheduled games OF the Blue and Gray.
The Props have a well-baIanced ball
club throughout and with good pitch
ing today should give Central a good
run for the long end of the score.
The Preps in their game on Wednes-
day showed a lack of practice, but
as they have been working hard for
this contest, it will be a real test of
their ability.
Central has been working out for
several days and will be forced to go
the limit to come out Of the game
with the score in their favor. Coach
Metzler would not give out his line
up, but said everybody would have
a chance in the contest, as he wanted
to see his material work in an actual
affair.
