JOHN INGRAM REFUSES
 TO WORRY OVER DRAFT.
Giant Players Are Almost All Sure of
 Finishing Season in Baseball.

The anxiety with which many major league managers view the possible effects of the army draft on their teams finds no reflection in the placid countenance of John McGraw. It is not with a feeling of snug compla- cency or one of indifference to the nations need for men that he views his team, which for the most part is immune from the draft as it is as present conducted, but with a feeling tmat he can spare the men likely to be called by Uncle Sam at this time, and still hold together a formidable C~St- fit He has made this possible by a judicious selection of players during the last two or three years and the team will remain practically unimpair- ed by the ravages of war until the men composing it voluntarily enlist or until the government deems it advisa
 ble to select for immediate service men within the draft age who have dependents or to extend the scope of the draft to include men over 30 years of age.
 Three of the infelders. Fletcher, Doyle and Zimmerman, are over 30 years of age, therefore are not in the present draft. Holke. the fourth mem Der of the teams inner defense, is within the prescribed age limit but is married and has two small children. Of the outfielders, Kauff probably will be called to the colors before the sea- son closes, but Burns is married and Young is not yet 21 years old. Jess Barnes and Cecil Causey are the only members of the pitching staff liable to be called within the near future Sal lee and Demaree are not in the draft. Anderson, Benton. Schupp, Tesreau and Perritt are all married and Smith, though unmarried and within the draft age, is the sole support of his mother and younger brothers and sisters. Of the catchers, McCarty and Rariden are married. Gibson is a Canadian whose age and the fact that he is married and has three children make it seem unlikely that he will be called upon to serve, particularly as his oldest boy, a lad of IT, is now engaged in drilling recruits for the Canadian forces, and will himself go overseas within an other year or so.

BATTING AVERAGES.
Flynn and Curran of Shore Line Tied For Highest Averages With 714 Each.

During the past two weeks, the Shore Line team played one game at Clinton. Conn. and won by the over whelming score of A to 7. The All Norwich team after taking a hard fought game from the New London Colonials lost to Fort Terry. The Academy team hit a losing streak and has dropped five in a row. The All Norwich team has percentage of 750, the Shore Line of 667 and the Academy of 375.
 The Shore Line team easily has the premier bunch of sluggers in the city with team average of AT. Curran and Flynn are the leaders with "A each. Caplet is only a few points under the seven hundred mark Sim COX and Lovenbury are next with com fortable margins over 450.
 Captain Wes Calkins is leading the All Norwich team with a mark of 400 just one hundred points above the team average. Counihan is hit- ing the pill for 500 but as he has only played one game he can hardly be con- sidered the real leader. Two of the sluggers on the team, notably Burns formerly of Portland of Clabby seem to be slow in hitting their stride. Clabby is especially slow in getting his eye on the ball but judging by his latest

Just Our Sentiments.

There is considerable chinwork go- ing on over the country about the pro posed Willard-F>ulton fracas. At pres ent it's about as popular with the po- pulace as hangnails with a pickpocket Not Yoicing our opinion but we hope the citizens don't weaken. Who shall be champion pug of the world, is weighing on everybody's mind like dandruff on a. baldhead's wig.
 What do those two birds and the promoters think is going on, on this real estate, an international conven- tion of movie stars? If they want to fight with gloves, let them get a raft, with enough provisions for the dura- tion of the war and float out some- where on the Pacific, and when it's over, forget to come back. Or if they want to fight the more popular way, go over the ring top after the Heinies.
 Fight fans, tb res a big fight. to the finish going on and ringside seats are selling for $50 Liberty Bonds up, and the best putting about this scrap. we're putting Up the cleanest, squarest fight that VI $ ever fought, action guaranteed.

Everybody heads up! Make the Will lard-Fulton gate receipts so small. they'll have to borrow money to get in a penny arcade. Instead of gate re- ceipts give them the gate.-Gene Ahearn.

The navy smoker b be 1nn by xhe Submarine Base club hero tho last of $he month promises to be one of the best affairs pulled of here in some time. In the first place. the light has worthy object iTi that the proceeds are to be used to buy athletic equipment for the sailors. There has been a strong desire on the part Of the fight following public here to see some of tho sailors in action, and this desire promises to be gratified- The card looks like an All bunch of lighters and there should be some good slug ging matches before the gong rings for the last time.
 The main bout Min bring together Sailor Michaels and Sailor Chamber lain Michaels has just come here from the Pacific coast, where he whipped the best men in his class. He has had two fights since coming east. In the first he put away Demarais of Woonsocket in two minutes and half and in the second he won the de- cision over Joe Rivers of Cambridge. Notable among his western bouts was his defeat of MeClelland of San Fran cisco. one of the best heavyweights on the coast Michaels is being trained hy his brother, who is rated as a good heavyweight himself.
 Chamberlain is the Chamberlain who halls from Philadelphia, and this is sufficient to those who follow the fight game. He has fought all the best Eght hcavyweights in the east. Among the men he has defeated are Jim Barry of Pittsburgh, Will Adams of Philadelphia, Joe Borell and Bill Donovan There is a grudge between the two fighters and the bout should be one to keep the onlookers on their toes every minute.
 The next fight will bring together two of the best featherweights in this part of the country, Jack Norman and Terry Mitchell, both having fought the best men in their class. Not long ago Norman stepped out of his class and took on Johnny Moran, the lightweight champion of the navy, and defeated him in six rounds. Both men have fought such men as Johnny Earle

performances there is some hope that he will reach 300 by the end of the season.
 The Academy has the lowest team batting average of the local teams, get ting only 210. This of course is due in part at least to the greater number of games played. Johnny Young with the highest percentage holds relative ly the same position as Counihan for All-Norwich. He has only played in three games but in the Westerly game he secured two hits giving him a fine average. Scud Mcknight deserves the batting crown with his 333 for eight games. Bill Hull is next with 2S5 Keenan a substitute outfielder and pinch hitter has tied Hulps mark but has fewer games. Captain Counihan is hitting the ball for the respectable mark of 270. There has been a de- cided falling off in the Academy bat ting due to the losing streak. This falling off is especially evident in the cases of Meek and Ringland who have dropped from the neighborhood of $50 to below 275. Brewer has the lowest average of the regulars. The aver ages:

 In the serni-fnal Sailor Murphy will clash with Sailor Schad. Murphy is fairly TaN known hero having fought in New London several times Schad has cleaned up everyone whom he has faced at sha base Sailor Kid Wood and Sailor Geacohle two dark horses viii meet in the preliminary Sailor Johnny Burt has been matched with Sailor R1ondeau and this fight should be 8 1lunImer. Both men have strong reKg and have never met. This is one of the bouts that the men at tSe base have been trying to pull off for a long bIne but to date have not succeeded. Matchmaker Wendell will put up a sailor against Red Rankin, the local pug. He withholds the navy mans name, but promises he will be tough enough to give Rankin the full six rounds unless the carrot topped youth takes the count before the full half dozen sessions.
 Word was received from an unoffi- cial source last night that nearly all of the bouts were grudge fights. so the public can expect some first class mills.

 '"The girls from the farm are husk- fer than those from the city, and that may explain why eight out of nine de- cisions at our first show went to country girls"
 White started the nurses boxing class more than a month ago, the young women asking for it on the grounds that they could protect them selves against such atrocities as the Germans have perpetrated in Belgium and France.
 Posing, rope skipping, shadow box ing, bag punching and short boxing bouts constitute the training pro- gramme, only four of the number be- ginning the work have dropped out.
