BrOOk1yns Declare
 Tanks Doctor Ball
Series Likely to End As Result of Charges Made Against New York Pitchers Umpires Did Not
 Enforce New Rules

. Jacksonville, March 29-While nothing was said about quitting the series, feeling ran high in the Dodg- CT camp yesterday over the tactics used by the Yankees to win Saturdays game. Uncle Robbie openly charg- ed Miller Higgins with letting Shore, Shawkey and Hannah break the new rules. The two managers had a. hot argument in the clubhouse after the game, in which the Dodger chieftain told Hug he wouldn't stand for any more doctoring of the balls. The Dodgers were the home club and Robbie was sore over having to throw out a dozen or more new ones to replace those discolored. He says his own pitchers worked under the new rules, while the Yankees ignor- ed not only his own protests but those of the umpires
 Squire Ebbets had a talk with Yank O'Day about the situation yes terday. The Dodger boss wanted tc know why the National League urn. pire diAn't put the offending players out of the game. Hank replied thai if he had Higgins wouldn't have had ary ball club to put on the field. He said as long as Bill Dineen, who was behind the bat, did nothing be- yond tossing out the doctored balls
 it wasn't up to him to interfere. He wound up by saying Robbie and Hug. gins ought to get together and decide once for all what rules they were ! going to play under.

KID LEWIS IS CLAIMING TITLE
 IN ENGLAND NOW

New York, March 29-Kid Lewisy former welter champion of the world. who has been knocking English welt ters about with great regularity for some months past, now aims at the nriddl ewieght championship of Eng- land. Lewis recently knocked out an E1nglish nliddleweight named Johnny Bee in four rounds and followed that by stopping Gus Platts, the sheffield Blade, in IS rounds.
 Lewis desire for match for the middlew ght belt is opposed by the authorities on the ground that he is only in England again on a temporary visit, and that he intends, and always has intended, to return to the States, where he has made his home with his own and his wife's family, this weigh ing very heavily against Lewis chance of winning another belt and taking il straightway out of the country. The mid d1eweight situation is complicat- ed by the fact that Pat O'Keefe, holder
 of the Lonsdale belt, who retired a few years ago, now announces he still
 is the champion and will defend the
 honors against any one.
 On top of the 'O'Keefe e6lict comes the announcement that Jim Sullivan the former middleweight belt holder and Tom GumTner are to meet at the National Sporting Club in a contest announced as being for the middle weight championship and belt Thus it ca be seen that tro niddl eweigh1 situation in England is in a muddlec situation, with the chances of the l winner of the Sullivan Gunner con ! test being declared title holder.

 Big Title

Unless Stamford can stop the Blue Ribbons in their next meeting the Ribbons are likely to win the state basketball title. The local tosserS are ahead within the triangular standing with a record of two games won and one lost. They beat An sonia last night at Colonial hall be- fore a big crowd by 34 to 23.

GOUX, CRACK FRENCH
 DRIVER, HAS ENTERED
 RACE AT INDIANAPOLIS

Paris, France, March 29. Jules Goux, winner of the 1913 Indian apolis 50O-mile race and occupant of third place in last years contest, is preparing for another racing invasion of the United States, with first honors in the eighth International Indian apo4is sweepstakes as his object.
 Goux started to lay his plans for (this event no sooner than the last race had been run, getting as much advance information as possible re- sarding the new Indianapolis racing rules before he returned to France, and embarking upon actual construc- tive work immediately upon land ing.
 Goux is one of those rare individ- uaIs who possess not only exceptional driving ability but extraordinary en- gineering skill as we'll As captain of the Peugeot racing team, he is super vising the construction of three new racing creations that embody his latest ideas for speed and stamina.
 The news that Goux will again compete at Indianapolis, provided the tryouts of his new space cators cul- minate in success, will be met with enthusiasm by American race follow CTS. with whom Goux is a great fla vorite, because of his generous per sonaIity and gracious demeanor.
 GouX pioneered the influx of Fu- ropean competition at Indfanapo olis, being the first overseas contestant to win premier 5OO-mile honors, and though he managed to finish no bet ter than third last year, due to burning up his engine on the day before the contest, he has probably more ardent supporters in the States than any other European driver.

Grimes Boys Claim
 They Won't Sign Up
Manager Walsh of Bridgeport Club Here to Confer With President Lane Regarding Holdout of Local
 Stars-seeking Two New Pitchers

The Grimes brothers, Ray and Roy, who were the mainstays of the Bridgeport club last season, are de- teFnnined ho4douts. They have nod- fed Manager Walsh that they will not sign contracts for this season unless they get more money. Manager Walsh was in this city last Saturday and had a conference with President Lane of the local club regarding the claims of the Grimes boys. As both are strong players it is likely that an effort will be made to compromise their claims in some way.
 Another thing that is worrying Maager Walsh is his pitching staff. The former White Sox star is making every effort to land a couple of twfrfers ''I think that with a little more strength in the box we will be able to hold our own with any of them," says the Bridgeport manager.
 we have the foundation for a strong club for last years roster con- tained many good players. They can hit, field and run the bases. I expect to land a couple of skilled pitchers within Q short time and then I will be in a position to make the other clubs hustle"
 Manager Walsh is passing away the time as deputy sheriff in New Haven county on the staff Of County Sheriff Thomas L. Reilly. tA present he is stationed in New Haven. As soon as the time for spring practice arrives Manager Walsh will get a leave of ab- sence from his boss and make his headquarters in Bridgeport.

DUCIPFN ROWLERS IN .
 TOURNAMENT MAY 1C

The second annual duckpin bowl ing championships, open to all bowl CTS in all. sections of the United States, will start at the White E1e- phant Bowling Academy, New York, on May 10. Joseph Thum, who is handling the entries for the com mittee in charge of the affair, has assurance that the New England States alone will enter at least fifty ffve-men teams. In addition to this, New York State, New Jersey, Penn sy1vania,, Delaware, Maryland, Wash ington, D. C., and Virginia will all contribute a number of teams, while New York City will surely be there with it's quota of teams. Out-of- town teams can bowl all three events in one day.
 There will be three events-five men teams; two men teams, and in dividuals and the entry fee is three dollars per man for each event. En- tries will close on April 30th.
 Many out-of-town bowlers will ''kiI1 two birds with one stone''- wander to New York in order to bowl in this tournament and see New York at the same time. Their hopes na- turally will be, and many out-of-town teams realized this hope last year, to have the winnings after paying ex- penses, also help combat the high cost of living at home.

McGRAW LIKES
 PLAYING OF HIS NEW INFIELOERS

Houston, Texas, March 29.- From all appearances the Giant inf1eld which McGraw is stalking his all upon, is going to turn out better than was expected. The inner de- precision in the last two games, though a slip here and there where the breaks in the luck were against them, apparently marred the good work.
 The weather is beginning to get sultry. It is fine weather for putting g a ball team on the fine edge. If it continues the Giants and Red Sox should end the tour in better shape than most major league clubs re- turning from the Southland. On the other hand, if bad weather sets in the long drive home will take much of the snap out of those players whe have reached almost top form and need the hot sun to keep them in shape.
 McGraw has not switched his bat ting order since the start of the series, though Barrow turned his up- side down several times McGraw usually plays batting order a long time, unless it is very bad, and does not twist it about much until he is convinced it won't work. Then he makes radical changes.
 Just how he could improve the present order he alone knows best. As it stands now it hasn't a great deal of a punch.

zBYSzKO MEETS OLIN TONIGHT
 IN MAT EVENT

New York, March 29.---Stanislaus Nbyszko, the Ponderous Pole, wreS- ties the most important bout of his career when he tackles John Oqin to- night at the Seventy-first Regiment Armory. It means the final effort of the great grappler to force his way into the spot where he can obtain a match with Joe Steeher for the worlds title. Though this bout is of nonentouS interest, the meeting
 between Jim Londos, the Greek
 champion, and William DemetraI will
 be as important. 1t was only a few
 weeks ago that Londos wrestded the was a blow that stunned the latter,
 years. He is determined to regain the title which insufes a hzthfe which will be beyond description
 In the ZbyszEao affair, OEin is just as
 determined at his Polish rival for the latter wants to get an opportunity to win the worlds title. Oin is one of the foremost wreSt1ers in the game, and is confident he wfM conquer Stan islaus. He is satisfied that the priva- tions Zbyszko suffered through the | war will handicap the giant as the
 match progresses. And his career in-
 dicates that Oain is dangerous grap- pier for any rival in the world
 Since his return from the devas- tated country Zbyszaao has paid great attention to the heaadEock that crowned 'tStrangler" Lewis with fame. Again he mastered the toe hold down to perfection.

OOYLE'S CLOUT
 ALLOWS GIANTS
 TO DEFEAT S0x

New Orleans, La, March 29- 'Iaughing Larry Doyle spanked a single to centre field in the tenth inn ing and George Burns scurried over the plate with run which gave the Giants victory over the Red Sox by a score of to 4, in the seventh game of the exhibition series here yesterday afternoon.
 It was a game crowded with many thrills, the climax coming in the tenth inning when Arthur Fletcher, shortstop and captain, was banished d from the fray.
 Dick Na11in, the American League umpire, worked in his first game, and as the Red Sox were the 'thome team,'' NaIlin oficiated behind the over several balls and strikess but il was not until the tenth inning that the fireworks exploded.
 In the last half of the ninth witt the score tied and two out, Harry Hooper, the veteran outfielder, came to the plate for the Sox. Now, liar. ry has been a thorn in the Giants side ever since the series began ant Arthur Nehf, who was hurling fol McGraw, pitched with care to tht 0tutfielder.
 Finally he got two strikes or Hooper and then broke a, curve bal over the plate tBan,'' said Naillin "No,' said Nehf. You're al wrong," yeHed Fletcher from short The captain also said other things which could not be heard in the stands.
 On the next ball pitched Hoope, rammed a vicious line drive to cen trefie1d- Kauf misjudged the ball, bu it is doubtful whether he could have caught it anyhow even if he haC played it right Before the ball wa! returned to inc infield the veteran was perched on third. A hit meant the game for the Sox but Nehf brought the inning to a clos by flaming McNa1ly. On the wa! into the bench, Fletcher and Na11i1 indu1ged in a battle of words. Finally the umpire ordered him out of thu game.
 Burns was the first up in the tentl inning, and he singled. Young also hi l safely and Burns raced to second Fletcher came to the bat for tn, Giants. Nallin said that he was ou of the game. More words. Ant then some more. Finally, F'letche

PRATT DROPPED
 TO GIVE MORE
 SPEED TO TANKS

Jacksonville, Fla, March 29.---The injury to Wilson Brewster has upset Miller Huggins's plans in regard to the Yankee infieId more than a little. Fewster may not be a able to play again for two weeks, three weeks, a month. More will be known on tha | score when expert medical opinion in Baltimore has passed on epe head in jury which has incapacita.ted him for the time being and affected the nerves which control the vocal or ga.ns.
 In the game Saturday, when the Yankees beat the Dodgers for the first time this year, Pratt was again an absentee from second base, and it looks as if Huggins thinks there are various combinations better without Pratt than with han. He has not said this, but he who runs may read and a little recourse to the young blood on the team for filling places perma- nent1y will not do the team any harm. On the contrary, the Yanazs wi1l be better off for it, for it is apparent yet that they need more speed, and among the younger members is the only place to get it
 The club could use Frank Baker right now in the infietd and with him would have three positions occupied by the regulars, leaving second to be filled by Ward, MueseI or possibly Pratt until Fewster teturrs.
 The w2y in which Duffy Lewis has jumped into practice is pleasing, in- deed, relieves the embarrassment caused by the defectdon of Bodie and helps the outfieEd situation mate riaI1y. Right field however, is both un- certain and unsatisfactory. For the present Huggfns is playing Wick te hit against 1efthansded pitchers and Gqefch when righthanders are pitch ing. It wouldn't be surprising to see Meuse1 win the place when Fewstel is back and the inde4d again on hand in full strength, through he hasn't the speed afoot of either Wick or Gleich Of the last two Wick is not quick enough with his wits to be a source of unrestrained joy to a manager though getting a good many hits, few of which have been timely.

YANKEES OUGHT TO HAVE COACH
 FOR NEW BOxMEN

Jacksonville, Fla, Mar. 29.-In looking over the expensive and ex- pansive Yankee entourage, consisting of costly players, a high priced man ager, valuable scouts and the big list of those who assist, directly and in directly, in the running of the New York American league baseball ma chine, it is a surprising fact that one finds no coach for young pitchers in the roster of employees of the good Cole. Rlppert and Huston.
 The Tanks are provided with everything necessary to the upkeep of a successful ball clIlb from trainer to groundkeeper, save an old battery man, who could take green hurling material in hand and do something toward seasoning it. For the pres ent year, at least. the Yankees are not so much in need of the services of such an individual as are many major league clubs. They have vet eran pitching staff and are already carrying several youngsters, who, while not entirely ready to take up the big leaguer's burden, are yet no neophytes in the pitching line.
 But even with the formidable list of boxmen they now possess, neither the Yankees nor any club can afford to throw away youngsters who with proper instruction might in time be- come aces of the pitching hill. The rockies of today are the stars of to- morrow and any club must build for the future as we'll as for the present It is therefore hard to understand how the Yankee management, pro- verbally liberal in the matter of ne- cessary and intelligent expenditures has overlooked the possibilities of adequate coaching for young pitch CTS.
 There are one or two men connect ed with the club who might, in a pinch, serve as pitching coaches, but so far as can be ascertained none of them do so at present. And there is no old catcher or pitcher, wise in the ways of big league riflemen and big league batters. to tell the kid who wants to learn what to do and what not to do.

ED WALSH AND
 BENDER TOHAvE PITCHING DUEL

New Haven, March 29-Al1 roads, alleys and other thoroughfares will t lead to New Haven's new baseball park shortly after the opening of the league season when Chief Bender, manager of the local forces, hooks up in pitching conquest with Ed Walsh, manager of the Bridgeport club.
 Although no date has been set for
 this much-heralded bout, the local management is carefully laying plans to make it a red letter day in the his tory of baseball in this city. This game, bringing together two of the greatest pitchers of all time, is ex- pected to serve as magnet for the
 local athletic event, exclusive of the
 football games in the Bowl.
 Imagine, you fans, the applause
 that will greet Umpire Moose Miller's announcement bordering on the fol- l lowing: Ladies and gentlemen, the batteries foE today: For Bridgeport. Walsh will pitch and Skiff will catch. For New Haven, Bender will pitch | and Nagle will catch. Batter up.' Ed Walsh, who is serving as deputy | sheriff at the county court house, was approached on Saturday in regard l to the coming clash with Bender. 'TTt tell the truth,'' said Walsh, q had no l intended to do much pitching during l the coming season. My plan is tC play either an outfield position or fl l in at first base. But you can tell ths l world that there's going to be : l Walsh-Bender battle and I'll be il i there to take him him off his higl I horse. My arm is giving me no trou bie and if it responds to hard work
 as think it will, then Mir, Bender ant
 myself will battle to determine jus 1 who's who."
