 McGraw, who has been the cyno- 'ure of thousands of eyes on the ,oaching line for years will not don a uniform; instead he will coach from the bench.

 Scheer claims that the owner of being grabbed by Hartford, entered into a deal with the late Arthur Ir- win whereby every promising player he sent to Irwin would net the New York owner $250 and per cent. more of the purchase price any big league club gave, providing the player developed. Owner James H. Clarkin says he knew nothing re1a- tive to any agreement being framed with Irwin and as far as he is con- cerned the incident is closed.

 AthLe tics

No games of any kind will be play ed at the High school gym this after noon, due to vaccination, coupled with the smallpox scare. The big boys quintet and the New Haven Comm ercials was cancelled by the Elm City management late in the week. An attempt to book another team to oppose Fred Hunts tossers failed.
 All room league games were sus- pended this week on account of vac cination: Room 226 of the Boys league is leading. Reisch is still maintaining the lead in point SCOT ing.
 Manager John schread has sched- uIed the New York University Fresh men to play the Hilltop baseball team in Bridgeport, the game to be played some time in April.
 Next Saturday Eddie schine's var sity basketeers will clash with Crosby High in the local gym. Crosby is touted highly this season.
 The girls big team will journey to Danbury a week from today to play the upstate High quintet. Dot Whitney's tossers are going at a dizzy clip and should experience no trouble in trouncing Danbury.
 Lorraine Stapleton may soon grab the center position on the big team. She has been showing up in great form of late in practice tits.
 One of the main questions of dis cussion in the Red and Black basket ball circles Is. why Katherine Oliver, brilliant Sophomore girl tosser, is not given a berth on the varsity squad. It is the general opinion that she could easily grab a position on the big team if she cared to. But she prefers to remain with the '"Sophs'' as she believes that team is a. better combination than the first string maidens, the Sophomores having al- ready beaten Dot Whitney's quintet. Miss Oliver is leading her team in point scoring by a wide margin. In defeating the varsity team two weeks ago, Oliver scored Il of the points recorded by the 'tSophs." Oliver also performs on the Catholic Community Five. She was the big gun in the latter teams triumph over the Devonettes in Devon last week when she accounted for Il of the F points chalked up by her team.
