The all-New Britain management has not been given 10 siring alibis for defeats this season, so when one is given accounting for tho ono sided score by which the Goldenrods won last night some attention should Dc paid to it. The Goidics won {. to IT.
 While not claiming that Now Brit ain was entitled to the game, the management does make a charge of inefficient floor management In Win sted. The claim is made that the crowd repeatedly interfcred with the New Britain players, especially while they were trying easy shots from un- der the basket. The work of the referee also is subject to criticism by the local management.

Winter Haven, Fla, March i9.-- Johnny Evers, supbing for Frank Chase in handling the White Sox in spring training in Florida, has already given up hopes of using Outfielder Bill Barrett as shortstop.
 Barrett came 10 Connie Mack some years ago as pitcher and shortstop. It didn't take Connie long to decide that he would never do as a pitcher. A little later he also decided that Barrett was no shor'stop.
 Connie turned Barrett loose. and ho came back to the big show with the White Soy as an outfelder. He did very well in center for Chicago last season.
 Weakness Of Shortstop Mcclellan at the bat caused the Chicago man. asen1ent 10 again experiment with Barrett at short. He is back in tho outfeld after weeks trial.

UNDEEEA7ED BASKETBALL QUINTET
 PLANS TO ENTER COLLEGE M BODY
Williams Probably Will Get Freshman Team That Has Played Together for Two Years.

i N-iliiamstown, March 1a.--The en- | tire bask ctball team which represents
 Collegiate School of New York city
 and which has not been defeated, this
 season, plans to enter Williams col ilege next fall. according to- reports from the Metropolis. The five regu- lars arc seniors and they have played together for the last two years, com piling an enviable record. Announce ment is made that the five players in tend to matriculste together to Will Hams as members of next years fresh
 man class.
 The coming ofSthe Collegiate dele gation tends to add to the encourag- ing prospects which already prevail at Williams for next years five. De- spite the loss of Capt. Backmer, Pesse and Jayne, three veterans Of
 several seasons of the Purple five, there will be a wealth of experienced material on hand for 1925.
 Heading the list is Fisher, star cen ter and captain-elect; Shumway, crack freshman forward is expected to fill Capt. Blackmers place for scoring: with Cavanaugh, another first year man. and Brown, Reed, Bogart and Smith, all of whom have been in the varsity lineup, fighting it out for the other forward berth. Wright, Dugsn and Cook promise to be leading as- pirants for the back court berths and all are veterans. Coach Messer used an unusually large number of men in the games this year and, as the re- suit, the number of Purple players getting letters was larger than is the case as rule.

SIGNED ARTICLES
 CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Players Do Not Usually See {
 Stories Over Their Name
tBy Billy Evansl

About 15 years ago New York newspaper syndicate conceived the idea of having the star ball players. series of that year to lend their names to baseball articles on the stories.
 The syndicate signed most of the players up for fiat sum of money, detailed newspaper man. to inter- view the athletes after the gam" rnd then turn out signed article fer them.
 The feature got a big play. In q few cases it stirred up cOnsidcra bic trouble, when writer you'd insert something into tn" story 70 gIvc il q punch that stepped on some otI.tr athletes toes.
 The memory of the happrnugs Of the l91l world series is still fresh in the minds of most of ;he present day fans.
 Eubc Marquard and Chri,ty Ma thewson were the star pitchers of the New York Giants in that series, which was waged with thc Philadelphia .Ath- letics.
 These two players were signed to write the series. In one of ihc games kubc Marquard pnt one whcg Frank Baker liked 'em, and Baker responded with q home run that broke up the ball game.
 The next day Mathcwson was quoted under his name as taking Mar ,.tt ..l,. .1I Baker. at the same time telling how to make Baker look foolish,
 Ii is said Marquard ray''i dt the criticism, and hn could hardly be blamed.
 Then came Il peculiar break in ,ho next game Matty pitched, that made the playcr-auihor look bad. Baker also hit him for homer that decided the ball game.
 Enjoying 1 to c lead, with Baker up in the ninth, Matty put one in Bakers ''grooyc," and he hit it into the righticld stand al the Polo Grounds for home run. That tied up the game. the Athletics won in extra innings.
 The writing craze by the star ath- letes has since extended to the other sports.
 Recently tennis put n ban on the player writer after 1895, lill T'ildcn and Vincent Richards, two of four tcneis stars, insist they will keep on writing and qnit playing.
 The Olympic committee has placed an even more stringent rule on the athlete writer. The ban takes ,:i"ct us soon as the man Is ch0s ,n for tLc Olympic team.
 Since Loren Mnrchison, Charley Paddock, and several other stars arc doing newspaper work, the new iulc may seriously affect the makeup of Americas team, If enforced.

New York is Surprised

New York, March 19.--Luis Ange Firpo's announcement that he would retire from the ring after lighting A Reich, an American, at Buenos Aire! next molth came as something of ( bombshell today in pugilistic circles where it's effect on the years f1stit program was the chief topic. In some quarters there was skepticism over firpos assertion, and a belief that sui. ficicht financial inducements would in lucnce the giant Argentine to change his mind.
 William McCarney, Firpo's Ameri, can representative, who arranged an exhibition and fighting tour of tho United States and Canada during the summer late today had received no di. rect word, from Firpo and was hold ing his program in abeyancc unti receipt of advice from the South American.
 Rickard silent
 Tex Rickard, under whose guidance the colorful South American climbed ectacularly in six months from ob- security to q record breaking title fight with Jack Dempsey, was in Washing ton and his associates would make no comment. Rickard, it was believed. had obtained Dempsey's consent to a return match with Eirpo next Septem- ber here, but cable reports last night said the Argentine rejected Richards s latest light bid, 6 S50o,0 900 offer for bouts with Harry Wills and Dempsey.
 Should Firpo carry out his sn- nounced intention, however, Latin color 10 tho fistic program would not be lacking. Erminio Spalla, Italian holder of the European heavyweight title, who was knocked out in fl rounds by Firpo recently, and Qnin- tin Romcro-Rejas, promising Chilean heavyweight, have accepted Rickard's offers for a series of matches here. Rojas may make his debut in May at Madison Square Garden against Floyd Johnson of Iowa.

HARMONY IS GREAT
 ASSET FOR BROWNS
St. Louis Players Strong for
 Their New Manager

Mobile. Ala. March l9.---The most distinguished newcomer in the camp of the St. Louis Browns this spring is Gus G. Harmony, homcrun king of the Pull Together League.
 Mr. Harmony rejoins the squad after two years absence, during which time a large and varied assort mcnt of disturbances and grievances, mounting, in ono memorable instance, to q near fist fight between ono Of the star players and tine recently deposed manager, were privately recorded.
 It will com" as news to the base ball world al large that all has not been jake behind the scenes of the Browns. A smoldering dissatisfaction born out Of the loss of the pcnnant to the Yankees in 1922 and laid at the door steps of mana gerial blunders reached q climax of utter indifference last sea son. The boys ptayed for their base hits and pay checks,
 The appointment of George Sisier as manager has made tcrrifice hit with all the players. In many cases an outstanding star tails to enjoy the sim Ccrc esteem of the lesser lights. Sislcr apparently does. None of the Browns, not even the old birds who inevitably develop a hard philosophy as they near the exit gate, begrudgcs the young colegian his new homors.
 Disorganized Last Year
 II is a wanton waste Of words 10 write that q team pulling together will make more progress than one which is trying to travel miscellancously. Last year the Browns were disorganiz- ed. This year harmony is restored. Therctorc. they should be an improved ball club, and if Sisler is able to play, as of old, the Browns will be U for midablc contender.
 Sisler thinks the Browns greatest material improvement is in their re- serves, a department in which glar- ing dcfences existed in the past. Tony Rego, Il young catcher from the coast, will strengthen the catching depart ment. Fritz Schleibner. the veteran, will go to first again If Sisler can't. A whole mess of extra inheldcrs are 1 available.
 Two extra outfieldcrs will be car is'l lO illf N'tfl dll NpiI- blnation of Williams. Jacobson and | Tobin. Young Bennett, a left-handed | hitter, with a .S36 average, is back from Tulsa and will stick. Joe Evans, late Of Cleveland and Washington, is , on the pay roll. and will make frc- quent appearances as pinch hitter and ! pinch base runner.
 The Pitching Stan.
 Siscr thinks well Of three young | Ningar.I, a product of Ala Lama University; Lyons, n right | lander from the coast, and toight, ! northpaw who achieved dis as an iron man with Denver | last season, pitching in 5l games. But in the main. the stan will be made np | of the veterans, Shocker, Danforth, Van Glider ct al,
 Third base Is still the Browns big . problem. Five men are after the job, Ellcrbe, EzSell and Robert son, who played the position at odd ] intervals last summer, and Simon of i San Antonio and Rice of Tulsa. Sisler ! wants 10 start Rice at third and has turned him over to Jimmy Austin, 1 veteran coach. for development.
