State Title
 Is Goal of B. H. 5. Nine

If Fred Hunts Bridgeport High school baseball nine does not cop the State championship this year followers of the Red and Black will miss their guesses by a healthy margin. Manager John Schread has compiled one of the toughest and busiest diamond schedules the Red and Black has ever had. The list includes games with practically every high school club of any importance in the State, several of Connec- ticut's prep schools and three or four college freshmen out fits of the large universities in the East.
 The battery candidates who have been working out in the gymnasium taken to the part of school grounds just off Congress Stret Friday, and given a fifteen minute practice in the invigorating air and sunshine for the first time this season. The whole squad will be taken outdoors in a few days time, according to Coach Fred Hunt.
 Strong on Mound.
 In the pitching the department the Hunters will be formidable with Fred Gallag--er and Pat Lavery. Both of these boys are veterans of last sea- sons nine and each is looked upon to turn in some excellent performances. Gallagher executed the greater por- tion of mound work last year. Lav- cry relieved Gallagher in several games and showed much stuff, but his ineNperierence got him into trouble a few times Gallagher and LaverYs will handle the biggest part of the hurling assignment, but Coach Hunt has several aspirants to whome he will devote a good deal of attention in the hopes of developing one or two capable reserve pitchers.
 Luty Berger, who was understudy to Louis Hill, varsity catcher, will be the first string receiver this year. Berger handled himself very nicely whenever sent in to relieve Hill. Christensen is another candidate for the backstop position
 Veteran InfieId.
 This season Coach Hunt will have the advantage of an experienced 1n- field. Barney Colway Is certain to hold down first base, as he played at that same position on the 1921 team. Se- cond fbase will be taken care of by either Ray Whalen or Frank Mertens. The probabilities are that Whalen will be shifted to the outfie1d and Mertens will remain. Ray Shea, who display- ed such brilliant form at shortstop last season, will guard that busy ter ritory again. Captain Vince Cooney is the choice for third sack. Cooney played regularly at second base and shortstop last season. He is good fielder and better hitter.
 The makeup of the outfielder is yet uncertain. Among the most prom inent candidates for the garden posi- tfons are Flynn, Strauss, Mrazik and Whalen.

McCann' Eyes On McMillan,
 Yankee Flash

Is aGene McCann angling for Norman McMillan, who is sock ing the ball for keeps for the Yankees in New Orleans? Fail ing to get any players in the first shuffle made by Miller Huggins the dope is that the Bridgeport pilot is after Me Milan. McMillan, who has been playing the outfield for the Tank squad, is an infielder, and he can hit like a Trojan.
 While McCann is expecting big things of Jimmy Irving. the Brook lyn semi-pro. who has been turning down minor league offers for several seasons. no chances will be taken to man, and McMf1lan looks to be the logical candidate for that job.
 Yesterday McMil1an played right field for the Hugginites, and trapped the bat.
 May Shift Cuban to Third.
 There's a possibility that if Martin Bressler, the wilkesbarre, (Pa.), first Flanagan. should make good, Mo Cam may shift Rodriguez to third base, the Cuban originally being an infielder, playing shortstop for New London when McCann was manager of the Whalers.
 Wescott Kingdom is due to start today from his California home. Next Monday is reporting time for the Derbies and some big guns are ex- pected in workouts at Newfield Park for the opening game on April 5, with George Stallings' Rochester In ternationals.
 McCann is expected to return home from his Southern junket on Thurs day or Friday In the meantime Sec reary Jimmy Kelly is supervising the work of getting Newfeld Park in readiness for the invasion of the spiked shoe brigade The outfield has been raked and the diamond will be out in playing shape this week.

The City Amateur Baseball League which furnished a tiptop brand of ball for local fans last season will be on the field stronger than ever this season, according to Thomas J. McCann, it's president. When the reorganization meeting is called for the latter part of April it is expected that several applications from new clubs will be in hand.

LANDS TELLS MINOR MOGULS ABOUT DRAFT

Ju1ge Landis preached 8 little sermonette yesterday to minor leagues on the subject of the draft. Said the judge, in part:
 Refusal to accept the draft (by the minor Ieagues) is an outrage upon sportsmanship. We call ourselves sportSmen and declare that We are conducting a sport. But we are not sportsTnen when we put up a blank wall which the player cannot advance. That should be the primary reason for adopting the draft, but aside from this, failure to provide that means for players advancement endangers the legality of the busi- ness enterprise of baseball"
