STRIKE CALLED AS BATTER WAS
 HIT IS CHARGE
COlOred Club Files PrO- test-Non=League Ump
 Also Under Fire Again

When the Public Parks League managers meet at Templeton's to- night there will be plenty of ver- bal feathers flying. First, the A. B. C.'s have filed protest against umpire Greece on the grounds that Alex Caves was hit by a pitched ball and instead of being granted first base he had strike called on him. The>Colored outfit has not as yet put in any complaints at the meetings, having ben satisfied to take the breaks as they were given but this one seems to be bit over their heads. Then the Oakland A. c. will probably object to the base balls supplied for their game against the c. and c. Jrs claiming thta the pills furnished were of different make. The league has adopted the D. and M. onion and when Spaulding and regular were tossed into the encounter there was a difference noted. A
 Another Squawk
 The N. F.. Hillies lost to the Will son A. c. at Waterville 15-2. They had a pickup arbiter whom they used when the assigned strike caller failed to put in an appear ance. Two weeks ago the Wilson's played the Reymond Hillies at the same park and it was later ruled that the game be called no contest on the grounds that the umpire was not a voted league official. This ump however. used last Sun day, was chosen by Bob Kiersted in hurry when he was approach ed at Hamilton park and was too busy to give jdst consideration to the cause, due to the fact that he had enough headaches with the Recreations. Kiersted manages the Recs and presides over the Public Parks league a swell.

YALE GRID SQUAD TAKES TO WOODS
 TO 'TOUCHEN UP
Pond ito Have Eli Boys Reading for Box Off,
 flee" Schedule
BY WILLIAM D. CLARK united Press Stan COrresDOndent

United Press Stan correspondent
 New Haven, Conn. (uP).-Yale's football squad will take to the woods for a toughening up ses- sion preceding the fall schedule of especially arranged "box office" at- fractions.
 Raymond (Ducky) Pond, new head coach, who won glory on the gridiron in 1928 and 1924, has ideas. When he was appointed last spring ne promised to make the squad football conscious" the year round. With Earle (Greasy) Neale, Ivan Williamson and Denny Myers, able assistants, he put the squad through stiff practice drills and admonished his charges to keep in condition through the summer vacation.
 This fall the squad of 72 will desert the home field and go to Gales Ferry, on the Thames river, and in a wooded retreat will lay the groundwork for the campaign. which will open against Columbia, with the University of Pennsyl- vania furnishing the second game.
 Workmen cleared away under brush, erected tackling dummies, goal posts and other necessities and made ready for the practice sessions, which open Sept. 15 for one week. From then until Oct. 6, when the season opens, training will be done at the New Haven field.
 The back to nature idea is to get away from the campus infiu- ence at the start of the training season. The squad will have plenty of time to loaf, sun bathe, swim. row and concentrate on their les sons. Pond expects to emerge crew resembling a bunch of husky lumberjacks.
 The head coach is on the spot this year. He was appointed de- spite the howls of many for an outside coach to put pep into the team, which has made only fair showing for several years. It prac- tically was understood that if Pond doesn't produce this fall he will be looking for another job and the university might experiment with a non- graduate coach. There for he chose his own assistants, went into a huddle and emerged with his football conscious" pro- gram and woodland training schedule in a determined effort to exhibit a bag of new tricks-and ones that work,
 If he clicks, the attendance and gate receipts. which dwindled rapidly last year, will ten the story. Columbia and Penn were added io this years schedule as early season drawing cards. aimed directly at the box office

Italit,.' practically assured himself of d shot at the wearer of the lis., and wclterweight wreaths.
 Although Ross lifted the 135- pound leadership from Canzoneria year ago in 10 rounds and de- tended it against him in 15 less than thIee months later, the for mer butcher boy from dear old New Orleans is not yet convinced that he is not the most formidable fighter of that poundage in the world.
 And neither were a lot of other folks assembled at the, Polo grounds that night last September when Pop Canzoneri hoped up on the rim of the ring and threat ened the officials, as Referee Arr t$hur Donovan decided against his son, after the judges disagreed.
 Ross victory over the heavier Jimmy McLarnin and his acquir- ing a second crown made a lot of people forget the closencss of his second edition with Canzoneri.
 And a' good many contend that the decision in favor of Ross in their first meeting in Chicago wal something more than disputable. The third man voted for CanZoneri on that occasion, the title changed hands on the ballots of two judges by the narrowest kind of margins under the Illinois system Of scoring.
 Entitled to Chance

 It was following their rematch thr yCanzoneri, asked what he considered the most importan, thing in boxing, replied, Catch ing the eyes of the officials.
