.BURRITTS ANSWER ORIOLES CHARGE
Manager Lasky Thinks WaHcki
 and Guida Justified in Actions

The Burritt A. C. baseball team afternoon to play the town team there. The locals are seeking re- venge for the defeat suffered at the hands of the Poquonock team last year when they came home on the short end of an to score.
 The Burritts will use their hurling ace. Johnny Rose in this game and he is expected to give trouble to the Poquonock team. Manager Lasky wishes 10 have all players at prac- tice tonight at St. Mary's field at 6:30 o'clock.
 Manager Lasky has made a reply to the article published in the Herald" last night anent the trans fer of Captain Walicki and Outfield- CT Guida of the Orioles to the Bur ritt team. He writes the following:
 When the manager of a team has game arranged in New Jersey and does not let the players know that the game has been cancelled, there is something wrong"
 When a team has four games scheduled and plays only one, there is something wrong"
 When Captain WaliclNi and Bruno" Guida dress up for q game walk to the grounds and find that no one is there, they do not feel very good"
 When q thing like that happens more than once. the players are nor many obliged to hunt for new team"
 When manager has game scheduled for the weekend and then leaves for New York, that doesn't sound very good"
 50 the Burritts feel that they were within their rights when they took the two players who started the season with another team. They do not wish to blame the Orioles as a club, but the blame lies some- where. So, no kick should be forth coming from Manager Abe Aronson or his birds .'

GARCIA FIGHT WILL BE
 KAPLAN'S HARDEST BOUT
Featherweight Champions Manager Sees Tough Battle Ahead For
 Title Holder.

Meriden. June 17 - Anyone who saw Kaplan and Garcia. in their featherweight elimination contest bout in Madison Square Garden" says Dinny McMahon, realizes that the champion, in taking on Garcia, Is meeting his most dangerous rival.
 That was fight that put Kaplan to the acid test; he weathered 1t to emerge winner. but there were wor- risome moments for us In that scrap don't forget.
 Garcia is tough, rugged battler. He has great stamina doesn't know what 1t is 10 take a step backward and has the good combination Of being able to give a stiff punch and | take one.
 "I saw him beat Johnny Drew up | in Hartford in April and he looked better than at any time in his career, 1 Connecticut fight fans know how badly Bobby treated Johnny on that occasion, trimming him so badly that Drew was forced to cancel sev- eral ring engagements.
 Garcia of course, will not be able 10 fight the champion in the way that he did Drew. Bobby knew Drew for q light puncher and waded in, taking Johnny's punches at will ! in order to score himself.
 Garcia will find Kaplan travelling faster and punching harder than at an ytime in his career, The Kid showed how much he has improved as a puncher when be knocked out kid Roy at Montreal some weeks ago.
 i The Canadians were certain Rap Ian could not stow away their fav- orite, but he did, knocking out Roy go completely that the Canadian boy was some minutes coming back to his senses.
 'kaplan will be fit as fiddle, He Is now on an intensive training cam- Ipaign that will find him on the night of the title bout at the featherweight lpoundag4. strong as eyer and fast.
 "The champion has great respect 1 for Garcia's abilities and he wants to be as right as a champion ever

BOAT CREWS READY
 FOR ANNUAL RACE
University Of Washington and
 Navy Are Again FaYOrites

New York, June r P-Crews of 1 the east, middle west and far west are preparing for the inter-collegi- ate naval battle of the century" at Poughkeepsie June 2S with grow ing feeling of uncertainty envelop- ing the outcome.
 The University of Washington and the naval academy, whose crews , have romped off with major honors for the past five years, again rule as favorites in the four-mile varsity classic but 6 succession of recent events has lessened. at least, the early prospect that they would out class all other rivals.
 Eight crews, the greatest field on record, are being whipped into shape for the big race, and the opin- ion of most Of the coaches is that anything can happen" with such an array battling for honors over four-mile route.
 | Cornell, Wisconsin and Pennsyl- vania all have had their hopes stirred of late. The Ithacans trim med California on Lake Cayuga last | Friday with the moothest-looking outfit assembled in several years. a | crew which apparently has surpris- ling speed as well as the stamina necessary for the long pull. Wiscon- sin and Penn, already at Pough- 1 keepse, have been cloCked by the rowing railbirds in times that carry the conviction that they must be reckoned with. The Badgers, accord ing to reports, have covered with the full course in less than 20 min- utes,
 Even California is not discourag- ed, despite it's defeats at the hands Of Washington on the Pacific coast. and by Cornell. The Golden Bears have plenty of power if it can be satisfactorily harnessed in time for the regatta. Syracuse does not ap- pear to be dangerous factor while 1 Columbia, on its showing so far, will do well to escape last place.
 The bids of Washington and Cali fornia for rowing supremacy at Poughkeepsie will be among the last efforts of Pacific coast college talent to lift eastern laurels this season.
 This drive already has borne sub- stantial fruit with Southern Califor- mia taking the intercollegiate track and field trophy westward for the fifth time in six years after a meet in which Leland Stanford finished Isecond and California sixth.
