New Haven High Win Bc Opponents At St. Mary's Field in Triang,l-
 lar InterscholnsticS.

What should be one Of the tough est battles on the N. B, II. s. base ball schedule will be fought agains the New Haven High school at St Marys field. Friday afternoon at tho close of school. This is the first game Of the annual triangular league games.
 The team this year has shown q great deal of early season promise and many believe that 1t will make things hot for those teams whose annual cus- tom 1t was 10 drag the colors of the N. H. II. S. in the dust.
 The full squad will be eligible for the game Saturday, 1t Is expected. The pitching staff. consisting of Gray, Conlin and Fingler, will all be ready to take the assignment if 1t is of- fered to them. Neipp and Pilarski catchers. Beagle and Bojnoski, first basemen, Kania second baseman, Grip short stop. Hjerpe third base, Weir left field, Taylor center field and Reynolds in right. are all ready to play.
 The makeup Of the team was slightly changed in the Gilbert High school game. During Reynolds ab- sence Grip went In at short and Tay- Tor took Grips place In center field. Jackie Conlin went in at right field In place of Watson, who left the squad. It is expected that the same lineup will be used with the excep- ton of Conlin who will be saved for pitching in the future. Reynolds will probably take his place in right field.

Dunn is said to be willing to part with Groves If some major league clut will raise the ante to S100.0O0. All the excitement over Groves has been caused by the remarkable strike out record he has made in his first four games this spring, 59. an aver age of almost Is per game.
 In his first start against the Syra- cuse club Groves struck out 17 men, a new International league record His second time out he famed Is and in his third start he struck out II.
 His first test came in his fourth start of the season against the Rochester club, which had won 10 of the first Il games played. Groves struck out 13 Rochester batters. yet he was beaten, II to 5. due to bunch ing of hits and flock of misplays by the Orioles.
 Dunn regards Groves as better pitcher than Jack Bentley. His addi- ton to the Tigers might mean the for Cobb.

Mullen rushes from court to court for another slice of injunction pie when ever some new and choice tidbit is ready for serving on the pugilistic banquet board.
 Observing such tactics he has been getting under the wire In fine style and it was thus, after he conceived the brilliant idea of battling the in- digo pessimists on their own ground that the ringside ice was broken in Chicago and boxing given a tenn porary lease on some new life.
 For this coup d'etat engineered right under their very noses, the Blue Laws have made open threat and promise with a vengeance to impale Mullen on the ends of their rattling spears.

Argentine Heavyweight Looming Up Stronger As Possible Contender For Dempsey's World Crown.

New York. May s.--Few figures AS picturesque as that of Luis Angel firpo. giant heavyweight from the Ar genuine. have appeared on the puEil- istie horizon in many years, He stands out today as q unique as we'll as formidable aspifant for Jack Dempsey's crown.
 Having successfully hurdled so far all obstacles toward a title match with bempsey-the scene Of which if ar. ranged most likely would be in the south Americans native Buenos Aires -firpo will face another barrier next saturday afternoon when he boxes Jack McAuliffe. II. Of Detroit in a is- round contest preliminary to the Will lard-Johnson bout at the Tanks sta dium for the benefit Of the milk fund. FiIpo Strong Fayoritc
 Firpo Is a strong favorite among experts to defeat McAuliffe who ts comparatively unknown in ring circles despite a long string of knockouts to ms credit and six round decision last year over Floyd Johnson. The south American will have an advan- tage in height, weight. reach and hit- ting power, but his trainers neverthe- less are not undertaking the wcsterner who may be the surprise of the heavy weight melee.
 Firpo will enter the ring Saturday vastly improved in boxing ability, even though his efforts yet are some- what crude. Since his knockout of Bill Brennan in Madison Square Gar den he has been thoroughly schooled ill defensive tactics and foot work.
 Five Principal Bouts
 Tirpo has fought five times since he first attracted attention upon his ini- lial visit to the United States in the spring of 1922. He bowled over three third raters here, returned to Buenos Aires to knock out Jim Tracy of Aus tralia. and came back to box Brennan asst March.
 Prior to that his ring experience was confined to engagements with South American talent. He hung up , long string of knockouts there after being stopped in his first fight as an amateur in 1917. That setback was he only defeat of his career.
 Standing well over six feet in height md weighing now about 214. Firpo Is by many critics as the most heavyweight contender now n the limelight.

Remember
the Time
BY Jack Casey.

N Ar HK was only six cents a
M a quart. And the milk
AVA man brought it around in
q big can and poured it in the
pitcher yer put out with the
cat the night before. And there
was always lot O. rich yellow
cream on the top in the mornin'
an nobody had ever heard of
antiseptic milk bottles, caps an
the Board of Health.
An how yer Ma raised ructions
an threatened to use condensed
milk when the milk man raised
his price to seven cents a quart.
An on Sundays yer Pa often
used to drive yer all over the
river in the family surrey an
point out with his whip the milk
mans farm an yer could see
the Jersey cows grain in the
fields an the milk mans name
was Rice an his son was in your
class in school an brought his
lunch an had chapped hands an
boots with felt uppers.
Yer used to say: did yer ever
get left when SOMEBODY tried
20 trip yer up an yer didn't fall
or they blew a bean at yer in
the class room an missed.
An when yer used to sing
''Georgie Porgie. puddin' and pie,
kissed the girls an made 'em
cry"
An yer could always get a
girls goat by puliin' her hair
ribbon off. An YER first sled
an 1t was a bulltop named
"Billy" and yer Pa fixed a cush-
ION on to it by tackin' on a
piece o. carpet an stuffin' it
with padding. An how on no.
session days when there was lots
Of snow on the ground yer made
q dandy slide down Hillside ave-
nue. but just as it got slick Old
Man Turner always came out
and threw ashes on it.
N sleds always had names
an flowers an things painted
On 'em an yer steered with yer
Feet an any boy who didn't have
q pointer or bulltop was a sissy.
An If yer took a girl down the
slide the gang would boiler an
try to run in to yer and spill
yer into the snow.
And on the big hill at nights
how wonderful it was when the
big fellows got out their tobog-
gans an the girls laughed and
hollered an the moon was out an
dogs barked an it was the pref
tiest sight yer ever saw.
REMEMBER? I'LL SAY DO.
