HIGH SCHOOL SQUAD NOT
 DECIDED UPON THUS FAR
Boys Are Practicing Daily, But Make up of Team Has Yet to Be
 Announced.

The makeup of the N. B. H. &. baseball team is still undecided. Prac- tice sessions have been held daily for the past three weeks with nothing definite being decided in the way. of a lineup, Every night candidates are at the Walnut Hill diamond battling for the positions,
 There are only four men on the team who are sure of place on the team, and of these only two are sure of the position they are going to play. The four are Captain Harold Weir, Gray, Grip and Beagle. Weir is sure to play left field, where he has been for the past two years, and Gray probably will pitch the first game, but Grip, who is now playing shortstop, and Beagle, who is playing first, are not at all sure of where they are going to play.
 The infield up to the present is as follows: Neipp, catch; Beagle, 1st; Kania, End; Grip. ss; Reynolds, 3rd. A shift may be expected which will put Neipp at first base. This will leave the catching position open to two men, Polarski or o'Connell. With Neipp at first Beagle will be shifted to the outfield or to some other place in the infeld. Beagle is possessed of a good arm, an acquisition which is not as useful on first base as it would be in the outfeld. The outfield, which is weak at present, would be greatly strengthened with the Vermont boy out there. Reynolds or Grip may be sent to play the keystone sack. Then one or the other of them will play short and Hierpe, new man, may go in at third.
 The outfield will probably be Weir iE left, Beagle in center and LaHar who is rounding into valuable man, in right.
 Others who are showing up well are ed; Taylor, a pitcher or infielder; Boi- CT; Tayelr, pitcher or infielder: Boj- noski, an infielder, and Bramble, who also plays in the inner works.

N-JOHNSON FIGHT
 WINNER MEETS WILLARD
New York-New Jersey Boxing Tangle Strengthened Out and Mill Goes
 on Monday Night.

New York, April 1S.--Fred Fulton and Floyd Johnson will battle in ter sey City next Monday night and the winner will meet Jess Willard, former heavyweight champion, in one of the features of the milk fund program at the Tank stadium May 12 If Full ton fights Willard he will be paid only s1 unless his contract is changed.
 Thus the tangie between the New York and New Jersey boxing commits sions was strengthened out yesterday after the Jersey officials had threat ened to prevent through a court injunction the Johnson Willard match unless Johnson fought Fulton in Jer- sey City as he had contracted.
 Chairman Muldoon of the New York body withdrew his injunction against Johnson crossing the Hudson and it was all over
 When the boxing controversy was at it's height, Johnson asserted that if he couldn't defeat Fulton he didn't deserve to meet Willard, declaring that Fulton would then be the logical candidate.
 When Fulton's manager reiterated his assertion that his protege would agree to meet Willard without com pensation in the event. of victory over Johnson, Promoter Tex Rickard sign ed him up with an offer of $1 to make the transaction legal.

Passing Of McLnnis From American League
 Hard to Dope Out
What's the matter with stuny Me.

What's the matter with stuffy Me Innis?
 Why was he waived out of the Am crican league?
 At present McInnls Is the big oues. ton mark in the baseball world.
 stufy McInnis has joined the Bos- ton Braves He will add much strength to that club.
 Playing with the Braves he will help the prestige of the National league in that city, where American league popularity has already been shot to pieces.
 Report has 1t that McInnis was waived out of the American league because no club believed he was worth so,OOo year, Incidentally that be- lief cost McInnis cool slo,ooo.
 If such ia the truth, it looks as if number of American league clubs will suffer as the result of such a penurious policy. Several teams could use him to advantage.
 It would seem that the St. Louis Browns would have gone the limit to get McInnis. with the condition of Sisler still an ncertainty For a time St. Louis bid for McInnis. then suddenly terminated negotiations.
 When McInnis consented to be transferred to Cleveland, it is under stood that the Boston club agreed to pay him bonus of $5,ooo for three years. McInnis sought to get the bonus in lump sum.
 It was pointed out to him that such a thing was unnecessary to protect his interests. since there was no chance of him getting away from the American league during that time.
 Such an argument seemed logical. McInnis fell for it. One year later every American League club valves on him and he is given his uncon- ditional reelase. That of course de- prives him of the $1O,000 which Own- CT F'razee of the Boston club agreed to pay him.
 McInnis is still corking good play CT, far from through. It would seem that 15 years of loyalty to the Ameri- can League failed to receive it's prop CT reward in an unconditional release.
 The McInnis case is certainly the big question mark of baseball from an American League viwpoint.

Ruth Will Not Break
 Record Says Huggins

Miller Huggins doesn't think Babe Ruth will break his home- run record of 50 during the coming season. While nothing would please him more, he doesn't look for his demon slug ger to sllatter the record.
 T don't expect any player during my time to better Ruth's mark of 59 home runs. That means better than a home run every third day. It is the task of a superman. Players of the Ruth type only happen once in decade. Ruth was at the peak of his game in 1921. When a player begins to go the other way seldom does he again each the peak. Ruth should nit lot of home runs during he summer, but don't look for him to better 59."
 All of which seems like some Yery wise deductions on the ,art of the Yankees manager.
