"BIG THREE" WILL
 CONFER ON 1918
 SPORT SCHEDULE
Professors Representing Athletic Bodies of Big Uvers ties Plan to Get Together On Problem of Games
 During Wartime-Radcal Changes Expected

No lavish expenditures in coaching or training table.
 No big commencement games. Yale's commencement this year will be of a decidedly patriotic and not athletic nature.
 No long trips for any Yale athletic teams. Probably rule will be pass ed requiring teams to return to New Haven the same night of the events.
 Only three days practice week will be allowed, the other three being taken for the military drill
 Only members of the military com panies will be eligible for Yale ath- letic teams. Sports will be kept in the back ground as decidedly military tonic and as a means for strengthening, physically, the military units. No definite plans for the athletic events will be made till the beginning of the spring term in April.
 In case of a national crisis all ath- letic activity will cease and every athletic event will be cancelled. All spontaneous" events in base ball, rowing and track athletics will be encouraged, like class and inter- department games, but intercollegiate events will be scant and infrequent.
 Yale has only 1000 students left in college and they form not an athletic but military camp.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-02-01

New Haven, Feb. Yale, Har- yard and Princeton will hold con- ference this week to discuss the ques- ton of spring athletics. They will in each case be represented by their chairman of the athletic committees Harvard by Dean Briggs, Princeton by Dean Mechanism and Yale by Prof. Robert N. Corwin, chairman Of the Board of Athletic Control.
 They will try to frame an under standing for holding some spring sports, in especially baseball and row. ing.
 At Yale members of the Board of Control state that they see no chance of holding the usual varsity dual track meets, although Yale hopes to meet Harvard and Princeton in the freshman track games. If a crew race can be arranged by Yale with each of the other two universities the athletic officials will be delighted.
 In general. Yale's athletics this spring will be termed restricted sports" Last fall the term was ''in- formal.' Some of the restrictions which will be insisted on will be:
 No lavish preparation for events, such as advertising.
 No record-breaking crowds are desired, making the recreational sports 9 spectacle.

Brooklyn Contract
 Figure Displeasing
 To Pitcher MdnlauX
Former Pittsburgh Hurler Says He Must Have AS Much Money From Ebbets As Pirates Paid Him Or He Will Not Sign-Gets $20O Cut.

New York, Feb. 1-"AT' MamauX, the young Pittburgh pitcher who was traded to Brooklyn with Burleigh Grimes, pitcher, and Chuck Ward, in fielder, for Casey Stengel and George Cutshaw, is a holdout, according to Pittsburgh despatches, reaching here last night.
 The Brooklyn club mailed it's con- tracts on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the reports from the Smoky City had it that he had exhibited a con- tract to a friend in a Pittsburgh cafe calling for $3,200, which is $2OO less than he received for losing eleven and winning two games for the Pirates last season.
 ''rhey will have to come clean with that 200 bucks before I sign," Ma maux is quoted as having declared. In 1916 he had salary of S6,00O, which was cut to S3,40O, by Barney Dreyfuss last year. The pitcher had professed great joy at being traded to the Robins and had made Col. Eb- betts some glowing promises as to his work this year. He was until recent ly clothing salesman, but of late has been around town in Pittsburgh doing nothing.
 At Ebbets Field last night Charles H. Ebbets, Jr., secretary of the Brook lyn Club, expressed surprise at Ma maux's action, but said there would be no compromise with the player. All of the Brooklyn players have re- ceived contracts except Daubert, Che ney and Coombs, who have hoIdover documents.

YALE'S VARSITY CREW WILL ROW
 PENNSYLVANIA

New Haven, Feb. Yale is to have a varsity team in at least one of the major sports nexts bring, it was definitely decided yesterday in the announcement that on May II the Yale's varsity crew will row the Penn varsity crew at New Haven.
 Alton R. Hyatt of Meriden, who for two years has been stroking the sec ond crews, is stroke and captain of the Yale crew will be coached by Guy Nickalls, who is now a lieutenant in the Royal Engineers in Flanders, the Yalec rev will be coached by Prof. Mather A. Abbott of the Latin department of the university, who for 16 years was coach of the greater school crews.
 Yale also may row Princeton fol- lowing the Penn race, and while the date $ not settled it is expected that May 25 will be decided upon. There is also correspondence with Harvard.

BAR CIGARETTES
 FOR CHICAGO SOX

Chicago. Feb. 1-Manager Clarence Rowland of the worlds champion Chicago White Sox, has set down the rules for his players, and among the rules which will be enforced on the Sox club will be one to prohibit the players from smoking cigarettes. Rowland says that smoking injures the. players wind, and he doesn't want any players on his club who becomew inded just as soon as they run as far as second base.
 Rowland has ordered his players to report in good condition and stay that way. The Chicago manager, who came from the bush leagues and built up a worlds champion team in three years, is anxious to hold the prestige he has gained in the baseball world, and intends to make his players work harder than ever next season to re- tain the honors they won in the series with the Giants last fall.

TOM CRIBB CRABS LEM BELCHER'S
 COME

February is a notable month in prize ring annals, but few more in teresting battles have been fought during the month than the one pull ed off just 109 years ago today on the famous race course at Epson Downs, England. Jem Belcher, the ex-champion who had retired six years previously because of having been struck in the eye by a ball while playing racquets, attempted to come back and wrest the title from Tom Cribb. Although his sight was badly impaired and his physical con- dition was far from perfect, Belcher showered the clumsy Cribb with a rain of blows which almost won him the fight. Cribb was game and had plenty of endurance, however, and when the would-be come-backer had to quit. This mill was, of course, worn himself out proceeded to polish him off to the Queens taste. He aimed his blows at Jem's good eye and at last the old timer was forced with bare fists, gloves being unknown in the good old times"
 Belcher had been a butcher in Bris- told before taking up pugilism. At the age of seventeen he defeated Britton, one of the "old 'uns," and when only nineteen he earned the right to the title by knocking out Joe Berke in the fourteenth round of a gruelling encounter. It is recorded that Berke, against whom Belcher had held a grudge, had to be taken off the field in a coach, while the young ster was scarcely bruised. Cribb, the victor of the famous bout of Feb. 1, 1909, had fought his first battle in 1895, defeating George Maddox, after more than two hours of terrible battling. Cribb later fought the big American negro, Tom Molineaux, knocking him out with a blow that broke the colored mans jaw. He was never defeated, and voluntarily relinquished the title when he de- cided to retire.

After Fftzsfmmons had regained consciousness, following the collision of his jaw with Jeff's fist at Coney Island, the Cornishman solemn as serted that dope had been put in his drinking water.
 Strangely enough Jeffries, after his defeat by Johnson, declared that poi son had been introduced into his tea pot.
 Johnson has been as evasive as to the cause of his defeat by Willard, although doubtless the negro could tell an interesting story if he wished to.
 When Terry McGovern lost the featherweight title to Young Corbett the loser said: "He can't do it aga37a. But Corbett did.
 One of the few valid excuses was that offered by Solly Smith when he was beaten by Dave Sullivan for the feather title at Coney Island. The losers arm was broken and had to be put in splints.
 While Joe Lynch is generally con ceded to be a clever boxer it is only within a few months that he has de- veloped a knockout punch.
 His knockout of the Baltfmorean will give Lynch a chance to trot in championship society.

Higgins Ready For
 Big Task

New York, Feb. Miller Higgins will pop into this town some time this afternoon. The announcement is made with the reservation. that the choo-choo cars keep close to their regular time tables.
 Higgins is the young gentleman whose fondest desire is to revive the Yankees in such a manner that Col. Ruppert and Cap Huston, the owners, will feel kindly toward their chee-ild. The two paters are still hopeful that their chee-ild will wake up and make g. bid for the American League pen nant.
 Miller will arrive all sweIled up over his latest David Harum stunt, by which he obtains Del Pratt and Eddie Plank. He considers that the addition of Pratt to the infield will bol- Bter the team considerably. Then, with Plank hanging around, he will have a clever twirler who can be de- pended upon in a pinch. The dimin- utiVe manager has a few other trades in mind which he may slip across while in our midst.
 The new manager will settle here so as to get in touch with the in ner workings of the club and also to find out something about his crew. There are only a few of the company that Huggins is acquainted with, so it is necessary for him to get a line on the others before he sets sail for the Southern training camp.
 The selection of the opening date for training is another thing Huggins must arrange. He is not fond of long conditioning, so it is likely he will send the pitchers to Macon a week ahead of the balance of the ball tossers.
 He will have a free rein handling the budding athletes under his care, so 'tis more than likely there will be many familiar faces missing after Huggins slants the boys close up.
 There is no doubt that the little, suave trader will endeavor to lay his hands on a bunch of outfelders if such a thing is possible for they come in right handy.
 In accepting thep osition Higgins intended to make the coming season strenuous occasion. All he will have to do is to wake up most of the athletes from their lethargy, and try to induce them to swat the ball and skip merrily around the bags.
 When Miller Huggins accomplishes all this he will gladden. the hearts of Col. Ruppert and Cap. Huston, for IL. IT. hoping for this happening. And be- | hind the owners are many fans who are growing weary roofing, but will keep up the good work if there is | the slightest encouragement.

BOYNTON THINKING
 OF JOINING CADETS

Williamstown, Mass, Feb. 1-Con- siderable gloom spread over Williams College yesterday when it was learned that Benny Boynton, the purple's football hero and general choice for quarterback on the All-American team last fall, might leave college to enter West Point. He has received an appointment to the Military Acad- emy, but as yet has not decided to accept.
 Boynton was the mainstay of the undefeated Williams eleven last fall. His loss would be a sad blow to the purple's prospect for 1918. He is a member of the Sophomore class at Williams. He halls from Austin, Tex, and is 19 years old. ,1y

TE NER TO CURB WEECHMAN'S
 ANGLING

New York, Feb. 1.-An amendment to the National League constitution seeking to prevent any club owner rom making overtures to player of rival team or expressing in the pub llc press a desire to buy or trade a player of rival team will be offered at the spring meeting of the National League by President John K. Tener when the league cDnvenes here on February F.
 Iener, in company with a number or other National League men, has ben aroused by the action of certain club owners and managers express Ing a great fondness for players of rival teams. The amendment of course is aimed directly against Pres ldent Weeghman of the Chicago club, who recently declared far and wide that he was prepared to pay $75,OO0 for Rogers Hornsby of the Cardinals and was willing to throw in four players to boot. Hornsby of course came to the natural conclusion that he is one of the real luminaries of the game and now is holding up the Cardinals for a $1O,OO0 salary.
 The practice, however, is not new, and has caused dissension in the Ma tional League for some time. As far back as last winter Tener came out sharply against the practice and par | ticularly opposed the sale of disgrun- tied second division stars to cham pionshfp contenders. It was no secret that Tener frowned on the deal by which the Giants acquired Sallee from St. Louis after that player had de- serted his team in midseason. Tener declared such deals placed a premium on disobedience and unfaithfulness. | Dreyfuss has suffered from the same cause in Pittsburg and Mamaux's fall largely has been attributed to an- nouncements by rival managers that they would like to have Mamaux on their club. The fact that Weeghman also proclaimed that he was on Max Carey's trail and would not be satis- fed until he got him took a little more joy out of Dreyfuss's life.
 Attention has freely been drawn to this matter, and it is refreshing to note that Tener intends to handle the subject in his customary vigorous maner. The amendment proposed by Tener will not find much opposition, as it surely will be to the advantage of each club owner. Baseball is so uncertain that there is no telling when the top man will be down and the low man will be up, and the good of such legislation to all must be ap- parent.
 The amendment, of course, will not seek to discourage trades, as Tener regards them good for baseball. He considers it healthy sign when clubs make big trades. He figures it often
 does a player good to make change The idea, however, will be to eliminate all publicity on deals until they ac- tually are made.

BEATEN CHAMPS
 ALWAYS READY
 WITH EXCUSE

New York, Feb. 1-The fact that Kid Williams, who was knocked out in the fourth round at Philadelphia by Joe Lynch, bantam from the West Side of New York, has as yet offered no explanation for his defeat, proves that the Baltimore Tiger is an excep- tion to the rule of champions who have reached the end of their pugilis- tic ropes.
 Nearly every title holder who has suffered defeat has denied that he was beaten by a better man, and has of fered some excuse, poor or otherwise, for his downfall.
 John L. Sullivans first words fol- lowing his knockout by Corbett were: 'I'm glad an American won" Later he pleaded poor condition and advanc- ing years.
 Corbett insisted that the body blow he received from Fritz at Carson was lucky punch, and also questioned the accuracy of the count.

Y.M.CA. MATMEN WILL COMPETE
 FOR TITLE

-Grapplers of the Y. M. c. A. are making their entries for the associa- tion championships on Feb. 7th. This contest should prove a hummer as some of the best amateur wrestlers in the East are members of the asso- ciation's physical department. Olaf and Mitchell, two middleweights who staged an exhibition match in the ! lobby two weeks ago. have already entered their names. The exhibition match showed that both were ex- perienced men, furnishing plenty of action and keeping the spectators on their toes all the while. A dark horse from Elizabeth, N. J., has demon strated his cleverness to several of | our local aspirants to honor titles He will demonstrate his wares on this evening. All lovers of this sport should keep this date in mind.
 Activity in the Boys department i continues, with every boy looking forward to the circus and minstrel show. All the classes are putting forth the best that is in them to not only put on good circus, but to have ! it Ego over the top" with bigness and activity.
 The Bridgeport Boys department possess some very versatile boys. These boys are very clever perform CTS on the apparatus and tumbling. Many of them have had a wide exper- fence in circuses and exhibitions and are prepared to pull off some real stuff. Don't forget the date, Feb. 28 and March 1; keep it open.
 oh, class continues to grow, the response of so many men has clearly shown that there was a need which was not being met, but which s- HOW solved. There is still room on the floor for others. Remember the hour, Tues day and Thursday, from 12 to 1; the
 more the merrier.
 c Six boys from the association Leaders Corps will attend the State Leaders conference at Hartford to- day. An attractive program has been set up by the Physical Directors So- clety, consisting of mass drills and dances and special stunts.

St. Louis, Feb. 1-Rumors that Fielder Jones is to retire as manager of the St. Louis Americans were de- nied yesterday when word was re- ceived from him at his home in Port land, Oregon, denying that he intends to resign. President Phil Ball asserts that Jones will pilot the Browns this season as usual
