AMERICANS MAY
 BE IDLE TODAY

Rain caused quite a dent in the bankrolls of all clubs in the Eastern League. The Americans, who were scheduled to play in New Haven yes- terday, returned to town and this afternoon were ready to take on Jack Flynn's fighting gladiators from Waterbury. Eddie Lennon, the former University of Niagara star hurler. will in all probability serve them hot for the Americans today. The weather today was a trif1e chilly, but this was not expected to prompt the locals to call off the game. The locals hit the road for a four game series tomorrow, returning to New field park on Sunday afternoon.
 Today's game will be a battle for third place. Waterbury and Bridge port are tied for that position, each having won 14 games and lost for ure nly one full game behind the league leading Providence aggrega- ion, which today tackles New Haven n the Elm City. Worcester follows he Grays with one-half game in the lrrears. Worcester entertains Pitts ield today. A Worcester defeat with | Bridgeport victory, then, will place he Americans in second place.
 If this happens then the Americans will have a good chance of climbing 70 the top rung of the ladder before the end of the week, for it's games are scheduled with teams that have not compared inferior to the local con-
 gent. But one cannot tell what will happen in these days, particu-

PUBLIC SCHOOL
 SOCCER MEETING
'MOgulS Will Meet at Recrea- tion Board Friday Night - Other Late News of Sport.
By JOE BOOTH.

The annual meeting of the United States Referees association was held on Saturday evening last in the Broad way Central Hotel, New York City when the officers for next season were elected. It is interesting to note that a local official was honored as the del- egate whom the Connecticut State Referee'S association sent to be repre- sent it was elected to take a place on the Executive committee. This person was none other than George Capper of this city. At this meeting there were Is affiliated associations represented. Secretary Walder who has held the position for the last two seasons desired to tender his resig- nation owing to him having accepted the position coach for the Balti- more Naval Academy who are organ izing a new soccer team for next sea son. As there was no other person fittingly qualified for the position he. was persuaded to Stand until such time that a. suitable successor could be found.
 The officers for the coming season were elected as follows: President J. Addison, Philadelphia, Pa, 1st Vice candidates for five positions as Exec N. Y, 2d Vice-president, w. Winstan- ley, Pawtucket, R. l., Treasurer, D Hinds, Philadelphia, Secretary, J. Wal der, Philadelphia. There were seven candidatse for five positions as Exec utive committee and the successful ones were: Capper. Bridgeport; Dunn, Newark; Grove, Philadelphia; John son, Chicago; and McLearie, Boston.
 The annual general meeting of the Bridgeport Public School soccer lea que will be held in the rooms of the Board of Recreation on Friday eve ming of this week when the officers will be elected for next season. The more important business to be trans acted is in regards to the rules to be adopted by the Public School athletic committee which has cut the play ing season down to eight weeks.
 Secretary Joe Booth, however, is to approach Supt. Slawson this week to try and come to an agreement. All persons interested in the welfare of soccer in the public schools of this city is invited to attend this meeting which will be called for 7:30 prompt.
 It is reported that the Bridgeport Thistle team is to lose the services of two of its best players this week as Wilson and KiIroy are reported to
 
 out these two players in their lineup on Sunday next in the replayed final at Seaside Park. the Thistles will cut a sorry plight when opposed to the City team, unless arrangements can be made to bring the players here for this special game.
 The Southern New York State Foot ball association has made another special appeal to the Connecticut State Football association to deal with the Bridgeport City club in reference to the New York State league fiasco last season when the local team was robbed out of the championship. The local association has had the matter brought to their attention several times but refuse to punish the City team as they are of the opinion that it ought to be the officials of the league to be punished and not an in~ nocent team.

LOCAL GOLFERS
 IN STATE MEET
By THE BINKSMAN.

With the Metropolitan amateur golf championship tournament of 1919 now matter of history, the atten- ton of local golfing enthusiasts is be- ing directed to the big State cham pionshtp tournament that will be held June 25 to 2S at the Shuttle Meadow club of New Britain. The course there has been vastly improved for this tournament, according to word that reached this city today.
 c. G. Waldo. Jr.; s. D. Bowers, D. E. Sawyer, w. B. Stoddard, John Field, J. R. Reyburn and Sam Senior, of the Brooklawn Country Club, and Al Cuici, the Weatogue club crack, are among the better known golfers who are expecting to start in the State tournament.
 Harry Vardon's old golf disease has returned. Once more he is driving and approaching faultlessly, but his putting is wretched, matter of specu- lation. He has missed more yard butts than he has holed from the same distance.
 To cure the nalady he has changed from the "Vardon grip in putting by bringing the right hand well over the shaft of the club in order to give an element of stiffness to the wrist. It .is a dangerous scheme to try and se- cure rigtdtty in wrist action for put ting, but anything which will cure the missing of two and three ffooters" is worth Q trial.
 The F'airview Country Club will soon have a golf course of exceptional merit, wing with many of the other West chester eigteen-hOle links. Upward of $2,5OO hundred has been and is being spent on improvements. When this amount is drained more will be forth coming if necessary.
 Invitations are beginning to arrive for the well-known Bynnewood Hall trophy tournament, which is held this year on June 16, II and IS over the Huntington Valley Country Club course. This year marks the eighteenth by H. B. Mcfarland and Jerome Trav- erw Maxwell Marston, who won in 1916, will again be a competitor. Sam J. Graham, who had all sorts of bad luck in failing to qualify for the met ro2olitan amateur championship, was the 1917 winner. He will try for addi- tional honors.
 The Lynnewood Hall cup is present. ed by George D. Widener. The qualify ing round calls for 36 holes, with a gold medal to the low man. Three or four sixteens will play The privileges of clubhouse and links are extended to all entrants for one week prior to play.

The Brown games are now play hd at Andrews Field in Providence. This site is old and a tumbled down affair. Many amateur teams in little Rhody have better grounds on which they play rheir games.
