MGR. CRIMES
 IS IN TOWN

, Eastern League club is in town pre- pared to take hold of the club. This morning he arose bright and early from his comfortable bed at Hotel Lorraine and went into a lengthy con ference with President Clark P. Lane Jr. Manager Grimes was @ very busy chap and for that reason 1t was impossible for the writer to inter view him as each time a call was put in at the hotel last night and this morning he happened to be out.
 Jim Kelly, who is business manager of the Americans, announced last night that Grimes arrived in town yesterday morning with several re- cruits whom he will give a tryOut. The first workout of the season will be held Thursday at Newf1eld park By that time it is expected that all the players will have reported for ac- ton. Pitcher Lennon arrived last night and is in perfect health per sonIf1ed.
 Final arrangements were complet- ed today by Business Manager Jim Kelly whereby the Americans will tackle the Red Caps, the colored team - on Sunday afternoon. This team was to have played here two weeks ago, but because of the holiday 1t was postponed Considerable trouble was experienced in getting them to come here, but finally today word reached this city that the management of that club had decided to accept the terms. The full Bridgeport team will line up against. these colored gents from the sleepy town.
 Manager Eddie Eayrs Of the Grays has called for the first of the series of workouts of that team at Melrose Park in Providence next Saturday. The Grays within the past three days have signed no less than six play CTS, each of whom is a promising performer. The Grays are certainly making up for what time they lost earlier in the month.
 Providence newspapers are
 publishing stories to the effect
 that the Eastern League mag
 mates have promised the Grays
 to allow them to withdraw from
 the circuit next season if they
 play out the 1919 schedule. How
 ridiculous President O'Neil, of
 course, denies ever having made
 such an agreement.
 Loas, the new Bridgeport catche-, halls from Philadelphia where he first attracted attention as a member of a sandIot team. Last season he backstopped in the Central League and did splendid work. Manager Grimes thinks the world of this chap as a player and believes he will be a great help to the team.
 While neither Bracket nor Braun has yet signed with the team Man ager Grimes. Owner Lane and Busi- ness Manager Kelly all expect to have their signed contracts in the clubs files by Thursday morning. Hank has not been heard from in some time, but President Lane Is confident that he will be back in Bridgeport before the week is out.
 Eddie Hollis. who will manage the Springfield team this season, has his eyes glued on a couple of classy performers in New York. who are now playing semi-pro ball there. Eddie expects to have them in har- ness for the Ponies before the week expires. Not until he signs them will he, disclose their identity.

 AT HAvHE, ND.

HAVRE DE GRACE, Md, April 29 Two jnveline races furnished the features at the Havre de Grace track yesterday afternoon. One waa a four furlong dash for Allies and the other the Perryville Selling Stakes, at four and a half furlongs
 The stake went to Capt RaI Parr's bay lilly Fanny Cook. She won the $1,000 purse, with Miss Shackleton second and Sedgegrass third. Jockey Stapleton held Fanny Cook off the early part, and when he let her down in the homestretch she displayed rare gameness and under a vigorous ride got up in time to win by half a .Iength.
 The shorter dash went to Samuel Riddles Bounding Pillows. She is Q i handsome Ally by King James and Sea Spray, and Louis Feustel, her trainer, sent her 10 the post in per feet condition. Jockey Nolan, who had the leg up. rode her fauHlessIy. He got her away from the webbing on her toes and saved ground all the way. The lilly showed courage dur ing the last furIong and withstood a. | determined challenge by Harry Payne Nhltney's Guess Again. At the end Bounding Pillows was half a length in front Of Guess Again, which took the place 9 nose in front Of ". S Murray's Kucie May. The track was not at it's best, and Bounding Pillows stepped the half mile in the good i tir72 of 48 Is seconds.
 | Looking Up. belonging to John E.. i Madden, defeated a big field of good | sprinters in the third race. She went l to the front before the first furlong 1 pole had been reached and in that 1 position stepped along at a fast pace i urucart challenged in the home stretch, but she had enough speed in
 reserve to win by a good length.
