BROTHERLESS CLUB
 MAY CHANGE LUCK
By AL JACKSON.

In all the hurIy- -burly over the baseball situation in Bridgeport, there is one outstanding feature that the scrfbes-and Pharisees-alike have overlooked. And that's the fact that for the first time in years. barring accidents and other acts of Provi- dence. there will be no. brothers on the Bridgeport club
 Bridgeport was brothered out of a pennant in 1919 and brothered all most out of the league in 1920. The team was brothered to death. the league was brothered to death. and, more than all, the fans were broth cred to death. The fact that there 1921 cast is inspiring, to say the least to get used to it in time.
 Last year, the Walkers had a rec ord unique in the annals of Agonized Baseball. There were five brothers on the team. all at the same time For the benefit of those who cannot remember all the names of these filial ball tossers and bull toosers. we will repeat them despite the high cost of print paper: Walsh. Ed; Walsh. Marty; Grimes, Ray; Grimes. Roy, and Grimes, Kenneth Clark Lanes brother used to attend the games once in a while, and Jimmy Kelly s brother used to punch tickets. but they didn't count. Davey Walters. unfortunately he wasn't strong enough to. push his own baby carriage around so he never had the chance to see the King of All spitballers and de putty sheriffs being shelled from the mound

 AGREES TO PERCENTAGE

New York-Jack Dempsey has agreed to defend his worlds cham pionship against Georges Carpentier on a percentage basis for Tx Kickard.
 Carpentier has been asked by cable to agree to- 0 like proposition and is epected to accept.
 Rickard has complied arrange ments to take oye- lhe interests Of Messrs. Brady aad Cochran.
 Undoubtedly RicKard has agreed to guarantee Dempsey 9 certain sum with a privilege of a fat percentage. The same sort of an offer has been made to Carpenter and the total guarantee is smaller by many thous- ands than the original purse of $5o0,- 900. Rickard, Kearns and all others interested will keep the size of guar antees a seret for obvious reasons.
 For the presnt, at least, there will be no change in plans called for un- der the original contract for staging the bout. Rickard has until March 1 to name a site for staging the big bout at any time between May 2S and July g.. And he confidently expects to select a site within thirty days.

K- Grimes Lone Star.

Of all the five brothers who grac- ed-and disgraced. at times rhe local livery last year. there will be but one left when ingenious Gene Mo Cam first totes his ponderous form on the field in April This is Kid Kenneth Grimes, who at several times during his career has threatened to break out as ball player, and who may do so yet
 The resignation of Marty Walsh, who dragged his s75 grouch back to New York with him along with his trick shoes and cake-eater's over coat, leaves Kid Kenneth all aIoae. Ed Walsh was canned just before the last week of the season; Roy Grimes took the pennapt- along to the Giants with him. and Ray Grimes was sold Ito the Chtcago Cubs There is a rumor that Ray may be back with us this season, but it is only a rum or. We have a hunch that the Min erva Marvel is destined for better things than the Eastern League can offer.
