KEARNS WEARY
 OF FAKE BIDS IN BIC FIGHT

Kearns says that each offer must be accompanied by some evidence that the bidder intends to make good, and also that he can swing the Carpenter end of the deal.
 By setting time limit Kearns has made move that will meet with general approval. The public has become tired of reading of alleged offers that were made for advertising purposes only. Kearns declares that far from desiring this sort of thing he has been hurt by it, as the fabu- 1ous offers made by the hot air deal- CTS have tended to discourage bids from real promoters.

 MAY BE PILOT
 AT SPRINGFIELD

Paddy O'Connor, coach Of the New York Yankees for tho past two sea- sons and former catcher for the Pittsburgh and St. Louis teams in the National League, will direct the des- tinies of the Springfield club in the Eastern league the coming season. according to rumors from the Home City. Paddy has been in business in Springfield for a number Of years and is popular with the fans in tha: city, where he played ball in the old Connecticut league years ago.
 Paddy will not go south with the Yankees this spring, even if he does not manage the Springfield club, as the Tanks are not going to carry 8 coach for the young pitchers because of the expense already involved In putting a team on the field. The ac- quisition of Ruth has added heavily to the clubs expenses and dispensing with a coach is the first step toward cutting them down. Paddy caught for the Hartford club a few months during the Eastern Leagues first campaign in 1916 under Heinte Wag- ner, the former Red Sox star.
 Whether Paddy has accepted the offer or not is not known but it l: understood that William Carey, own, CT of the Springfield franchise, ap preached him recently and talked things over with him when he fount out that Paddy was not going bacl with the Tanks. It is also under stood that the man who made Wind sor Locks famous accepted the offer although 1t Is not known if he ac cepted a contract.

WILDE TO BOX RUSSELL NEXT
 MONDAY MIGHT

New York, Feb. 11-Jimmy Wil6e's first opponent in the East will be Mickey Russell, whom he will meet in an eight-round [out at the Arena A. c. in Jersey City next Monday night.
 Russell, though surely not as we'll known as the f1yweight champion, has done plenty of fighting before the Jersey clubs. A tow-heade6 lad, with gameness, cleverness and a punch to back him up, he is certain to give the Welsh wizard stiff argument Rus sells most ambitious effort to date was his eight-round bout with Pete Herman, the worlds bantamw eight champion.
 Mickey conducted himself quite fla vora,bly on that occasion and though he was outpointed he was in no wise disgraced. Naturally he will have something on Wilde in the matter of poundage, probably from six to ten pounds.

 NO, the hasn't signed yet. He has good reasons for not signing before the end of February. William A. Brady will make the necessary ar engagements in my behalf

He will call the can didates for the team next week, Mon day evening, February Is, for 8 smoker and a general talk about the baseball situation. Head Coach Will Lauder, the former New York, Na- tiona1 Leaguer, will outline his ideas. Manager Weir Sargent will speak of the schedule plans Trainer Walter Mace will discuss the physical con ditioning policy which he has in- troduced so successfully with Yale nine for 5 years.
 plans and a general discussion of the situation will follow.
 Cage practice will begin the next day with Lauder and Sawyer in charge.
 Yale has a rosy outlook for the season. The team has 8 well estab- fshed coaching policy, developed oy Lauder, who has been here for three seasons, although he was not active in the informal season of 1918. Last year, with only mediocre material, he turned out a surprisingly successful nine, nearly all of whose members are available this spring. Coxe, Rob- inson and Se1leck, the trio of pitchers have all signffied their intention of again reporting. Little Sel1eck, the midget of the twirling squad, and the third string selection at the start of the season, proved the most baffling to opposing batsmen, and will begin the season as Yale's chief box hope.
 Other veterans are: Holmes, catch CT; Diamond, first base; Captain Saw yer, second; Thorne Murphy, short. and Flaherty and Gordon, outfelders.
