NEW YORK NATIONALS WITH
 FIFE PLAY RIBBONS TONIGHT
J. Johnson BOwlers
 Win From the Meigs
Special to The Times.)

New Haven, Jan. 2s-The J. John son Sons bowlers emerged victors over the Meigs & Co. team of Bridge port last evening by a scant eight point margin In total pinfall on the three games
 But for a particularly good start in the first stanza, when they totaled 602 against the visitors 516, the locals would have been in sore straits to gain the verdict, for the Park City lads took both the second and third contests and reduced the go point lead of the locals down to s.
 Ball of the visitors was high scorer of the evening, totaling 331 in the three games, while Fitzpatrick and Cans. with scores of BOA and 320 re spectively, were the best performers for the locals.
 Following the matches the oppos- ing teams and their rooters repaired to Sabatini's, where a most enjoya- ble lunch was served. Joseph C. Johnson acted as toastmaster, and at a wee hour this morning the bowlers were still debating to the merits of their respective teams.

BROKEN RIB LOSES MATCH FOR ROLLER
American Champion Wrest- Ter Hurt in Bout With
 Guardini at New Haven.

New Haven, Jan. 2S-A good sized crowd of wrestling fans turned out at the Arena to witness the second series of mat bouts and were treated to four of the best exhibitions of the game seen here in many a day. The fact that the number of spectators who witnessed the quartet of bouts was far bigger than that of the previous week indicates that the sport is apt to find much favor here and surely the quality of the entertainment last night will increase its supporters a hundred fold
 Dr. B. F. Roller, American cham pion, and Renato Guardini, Italian champion, met in the final match of the evening and but for an accident that befell the native son it is not im- probable but that the men would have been at it yet. The men had been on the mat something over a half hour when the Italian threw the doc tor in the air and the fall so stunned him that he was unable to continue. A doctors examination after the match revealed the fact that Dr. Roller sustained a broken rib. The first match of the evening be- tween Charles Winters and Billy Burke went to the former in two straight falls, the time of the first being six minutes and the second a | little more than that time.
 Harry Stevens and Pierre LaCollose were the opposing gladiators in the | second and LaCoI1ose, after taking the l first fall in a little short of ten min utes, committed a foul in the second l set-to that cost him the match.
 Ivan Limouri and Joe Grandivitct
 met in the third stanza and Ivan was 1 twice victorious. He accomplished the trick in 27:15 the first time and | 17:O0 in the second.

YALE AND HARVARD ID
 ROW AT NEW LONDON

New York, Jan. 2S-At a meeting of the Harvard Athletic Committee held last night at the clubhouse in this city, the conclusion was arrived at that the Harvard-Yale rowing re- gatta at New London this summer is an assured fact. A meeting held last night at Cambridge was given up en- tirely to matters having to do with university rowing, and the result of that meeting was sent here over the wires.
 The writer talked with several lead ing rowing authorities of Yale and Harvard and from the interviews it looked as if the time-honored classic Yale and Harvard regatta-will be roWed as usual. Robert Herrick, the famous Harvard coach, will be back at Cambridge as adviser to Bill Haines, thus assuring a fast Crimson crew.

MAY
 GET HIS OLD JOB

Chicago, Jan. 2S-Jack Hendricks, who relinquished his contract as man. ager of the St. Louis club of the Ma tional League on Saturday for a cash consideration, probably will return to the American Association as manager of the Indianapolis club.
 This developed yesterday at a meeting of the American Association club owners.
 James c. McGIl, owner of the In- dianapolis franchise, and Hendricks were in conference, but McGill said he would have no announcement to make in regard to his selection for several days. Hendricks was mana ger of the Indianapolis club before accepting the leadership of the Car dinals.
 The date for opening the American Associa ton season, originally set for April %, probably will be advanced to April 24.

DIAMOND CREST

New York, Jan. 2S.---The Hal Chase | trial. to be held on Thursday, has a | peculiarly intimate interest for New | York fans. Chase has spent the best l part of his career in this city. If | 'rChase is acquitted he will return to | 9 ,aseball next spring as a member of | he Giants. The story was ridiculed at the time, | .es 1t was known that McGraw was .pne of the witnesses against Chase. Last week MoGraw admitted that he would like to have Chase for the Giants and said he would make an offer to the Cincinnati club for the player if Hal was acquitted. He says Chase case, but did not deem his evil add strength to the Giant tnfield.
 McGraw further said he had sent in san affidavit to John Heydler, presi- dent of the National League. on the tChase event, but did not deem his evil dence damaging.
 McGraw is implicated in the case because during the last series the Reds played here last season Chase asked Perritt whether he would pitch 6 game of a double-header. Perritt reported this matter to NfcGraw, and iHeydler asked the pair to make affi- ,davits of this incident.
 The general assumption is that Nc E6Sraw informed Mathewson of the con versation and that 1t directly led up to Ehase's indefinite suspension.
 Both the National League and the Cincinnati club consider McGraw' s evidence of importance. His evidence is wanted to strengthen the case of the Cincinnati club against Chase and cannot 'be construed as being helpful to Chase. Yet McGraw believes in Chase's innocence and says he will be glad to give him job when he lis acquitted.
 The general opinion is that the ease against Chase consists largely of various repeated conversations and that such evidence as there is against Hal never would convict him before & court of law.
 If Chase is acquitted New York twill in all probability trade Walter Holke for the former Yankee man. ager.
 Boston. Jan. 2S-"The millennium in baseball never will come." says George Stallings. until the sale of

 St. Louis. Jan. 27-Branch Hickey president of the St. Louis Nationals last night announced he would accep the management of the club for 1919 "a position offered him by the stock holders Saturday. The amount of hi salary was not disclosed nor were tn terms whereby Jack Hendricks con scented to terminate his contract a 8s19 manager of the club.

Cleveland, Jan. 2S-Johnny Kill bane, the featherweight champion of the world, who a few months ago announced that he was going to re- tire from the ring, only to reconsider his utterances more recently and to decide to stick to the glove game, has started training for future battles. The champion is getting into shape here, and during the past few weeks he has been besieged with offers from nearly all the important fight centers of the country.
 It Is probable that kilbane's re-en- try into the ring will be staged here with Frankie Britt as his opponent. If the featherweight title holder ac-

Professor Mather Abbot has all ready started Eli oarsmen-varsity junior and freshmen-on the rowing machines. Professor Abbot is very keen for the Housatonic course at Derby for an early invitation set of short races. The first of these events will be among Yale, Princeton and Cornell
 The professor, however. is set on the importance of the old four-mile race at New London as really being the means of trying out an eight cared varsity crew.
 In University club circles last night it was said that if the Yale-Harvard race should be rowed at New London 1t would reflect on the Inter-Colles- fate Rowing Association if the Pough keepsie regatta should not be rowed.

cepts the offer to meet Britt it will be his first real ring engagement in eighteen months. His last contest vas fought in Philadelphia, July, 1917. He was pltted against Benny Leonard, who two months previous to the battle won the lightweight championship from Freddie Welsh. The new title holder proved to be too much for the featherweight champion and he was knocked out in the third round.
 Kilbane did not enter the ring again until the following year, when he took part in a four-round exhibi- ton match with Larry Hansen in this city.

 From Willie Jackson

Philadelphia, Jan. 2S - Frankie Britt of Boston, won the popular de- cision over Willie Jackson, New York, in a six-round bout here last night. Britt had the advantage of every round except the first. The fight was hard and fast.
 In the semi-windup Johnny Murray of New York, stopped Frankie Clark, of Philadelphia, in the second round, the local boys seconds throwing the sponge in the ring. Clark was knock ed down once in the first and twice in the second. round.

Local Team Expects Tough Game From New Workers
 - Game at 8::30.

Hobey Fyfe. one of the greatest basketball players that ever stepped on a court, will make his 1919 ap- pearance in Bridgeport tonight with the New York Nationals. The ap- pearance of Fyfe alone ought to act as a magnet to draw a big crowd and it is hoped that the many fans in this city will not pass up the chance Co see one of the greatest stars in the games play tonight.
 The New York Nationals have one of the fastest teams in the country a. the present time and the Ribbons will have to set fast pace if they expect to get the decision. Schmelke, who played with the local team when Ripley was sick will also be with the Nationals and he is no novice at the game.
 The local team has played good basketball in their past games but they will have to do a whole lot bet, ter or else take a beating tonight. This is the strongest team that has ever played here without 3. doubt but Manager Leavy is hopeful that he can defeat the New Workers. The locals will use their regular team and Man ager Leavy is hoping that Holman will play as good a game as last week
 The game will start at S:30 promp. and Tom Thorp will referee There will be dancing before and after the game. The teams will line up as fol- | lows:
