Player Balks on Going to the Minors
 From Brooklyn.

New York, May 5.-Following an- nouncement of his release yesterday to the Kansas City American Asso- citation team, George Whitted, veteran outfielder, demanded his uncondi- tional release from the Brooklyn club. He said if the demand was refused he would appeal to Commissioner Landis.
 Whitted, obtained by Brooklyn from the Pirates, has been in the National league for 10 years.
 It is said the Giants have not vet waived on Sam Crane and that Me- Graw probably would claim him and send him to the Indianapolis club as final payment for Ralph Shinners.

 Definite arrangements, however, are |awaiting the outcome of the Lewis Carpenter fight. Dempsey asserted it was immaterial to him whether he met Willard before or after his sec ond go with the French champion.
 Anxious to Fight.
 T am also ready to meet Wills or anyone else provided they mean bus iness," said Dempsey. Il hope some thing definite will come out of all these offers. All I want is a few months training. I've seen Europe and had a fine rest and am now anx- ious to get back to work.
 T should like to stay in Europe little longer but I must return and fulfill a theatrical engagement in the West and a motion picture contract in New York. I cannot afford to de- fault on either of these I shall leave Paris for London Tuesday and shall probably sail for New York May 13.'

|HIGH SCHOOL NINE
 PLAYS NEW HAVEN
Game to Be Played in Elm City
 a Hard One for Local Team

The local High school nine will play New Haven High school in New Haven tomorrow. The locals, after their de- |, feat of the Collegiate Preparatory team last Saturday, feel that they will be able to pull out with a win over the Elm City nine.
 Team Showing
 The team work of the local n'ne displayed in their work last Saturday showed that the local boys have form cd strong combination of ball tos- sers. The infield worked with the pre- cision of machine and frightened up in all the pinches. The outfielders showed good judgement in chasing flies and despite the strong wind which was blowing, they shared about everything that there was to be snared in the outer garden.
 Good Pitching Staff
 The High school nine. are fortunate in having a strong pitching staff this year. Gray, who did the hurling last Saturday showed real class. He got himself out of the hole many times during the game and always display ed a steady nerve which is a valuable asset to a pitcher.
 New Haven Strong
 The New Haven team, however. have a strong aggregation together, and coupled with the fact that they will beplaying on their home diamond, they have a good bunch of hitters who ae liable to land on the offerings of opposing pitchers at any time.
 In past years, the Elm City has turned out some strong baseball hines, and this years crew has a number of last years stars among it's members. Their pitching staff is fairly strong and the locals will have to do some
 Fear Overconfidcnce
 The fact that they pulled out ahead of the Collegiate Prep nine last Sat- urday, is likely to give the locals a dangerous degree of over-confidence. The team was older and more matur- ed than the locals, and at first dis played a form that bodied i'll for New Britain. By beating them, the local team earned hard fought victory.
 The game against New Haven High school promises to be as hard a game as that of last Saturday and the locals feel confident that they will win. Coach George Cassidy has had his charges out every day and the players the rounding into mid season form. Gray will most probably be on the mound.
