Toney and Barnes Pitch Good Ball In
 Victory for N. Y. Giants

San Antonio, Tex, March 19.---Yes- terday's baseball game between the Giants and the San Antonio club w-as a charity affair pure and simple. The proceeds went to the Allied Charities of this city, and the home team stretched Southern hospitality so far as to make New York scoring just one round of ease and pleasure. While the Giants were running wild and getting away with everything in the book the home team found scoring as hard as locating clam in Coney Island chowder. The Giants ga1loped in by il to 1.
 MeGraw sent two of his veteran pitchers to the mound. Fred Toney went the first five innings, and al lowed four hits. When T-0 wanted to pitch the locals could. not see him. Jess Barnes finished the game and pitched good ball. All +7-~ regulars started, but toward the close a good many of the youngsters slipped into the batting order.
 The hitting features of the game were contributed by Ross Young, Art Fletcher and Kinsella- Young got three hits and a walk in his trips to the plate Fletcher hit 9, home run to the score board in left field in the sec ond inning and scored Burns and Young ahead of him. Kinsella also got home run, with Statz on in the eighth round.

Harvard Coach Won't
 Try New System of
 Keeping Time In Game

New York. March 19-The Harvard football team, according to an an nouncement made by Coach Fisher at Cambridge yesterday, will not par ticipate in any experimental trial of the Coffin plan to limit the duration of playing periods by definite mum Der of plays, although MT. Coffin is eager to give it a trial against Maine and Valparaiso. The coach declared that he was una1terably opposed to the plan and would not favor it's use ment even in an early season game.
 '9The attempt of the Rules Commit tee to make a touchd own worth more than two field goals by the elinnina- ton of the punt-out was an excellent move" said Coach Fish er,'' but e1irn- ination of the stopwatch from the game would be disastrous, and I op- pose even it's trial by a Harvard team in competition
 Assurance that the Haughton "sys- tenn" will continue to be the basis of Harvard's football was given by Fisher.
 'EWe will never discard the Haugh- ton system while it is successful" he stated, "but this does not mean that new wrinkles will not be developed The graduate football committee has been at work on new plays which we believe will strengthen the attack and these innovations will get a thor ough trial in the stadium this spring."

SUING
 TO GET $I,OOO
 SIX DAY PRIZE

New York, March 1e-whether the announce it will give prize of $1,000 for an athletic feat and then go back on the agreement will be decided in the city court next Monday, when John Chapman, one of the promoters of the recent six-day race in Madison Square Garden. will appear in answer to a summons served by Julius Davi- son, lawyer for Maurice Brocco and Charles De Ruyter, the six-day riders.
 It will be recalled that the six day race management announced it would award a prize of $1,000 to any team that gained a lap on the field in the recent Garden race Through sensational riding Brocco and De Ruyter gained the coveted lap. Later a serious spill so injured Brocco that he was forced to withdraw from the race.
 Brocco, 1imping from the injuries received in the spill. and weak and wan from the stomach hemorrhages he still suffers as a result of the acci- dent, yesterday, asked that certain facts be placed before the public in order to help him get a square deal.
  ing mate, De Ruyter.
 When we asked for the $1,000 Chapman and FogIer promised for gaining a lap," said Brocco. ttthey re- fused to give it to us unless we would sign to ride under their managem ment in a six day race here next year. This we refused to do, as did most of tn e other riders, who are dissatisfied with the treatment accorded in the race just completed. "'You will sign to ride for us next year or you will not get the thousand for gaining the lap was their uFd- matum.
 Not only has Chapman refused to give up the 1000 we rightfully won but he has held back expense money that was coming to us. He wants to pay us only $3S0 for our riding. That will not begin to pay for my medical expenses alone"
 Brocco and De Ruyter had engaged passage on the France, of the French line, which sails today. but had to cancel their passage. De Ruyter has contracts in Paris and Milan which require his immediate presence abroad Brocco will be unable to ride for several weeks and may be months. De Ruyter, who only just has re ceived his discharge from the French army, is in need of funds.
 Chapman must answer the sum- mons in the city court next Monday The trial will be an interesting one for it will show just how much ''bunk'' is connected with certain pro- fessional contests and how much req money is paid six-day bicycle riders

 "An Yale can't do that replied Marshall
 Huh. you think you're good" said Com erford.
 s'No, we're not good,'' snapped back Marshall, 'tbut we certainly are hell in these minor games"
