The United Automobile Workers of

an investigation of the charges.

The Fisher strike came virtually on

"very happy" in the selection of Mr..

LOU BROUILLARD LOSES TO TED .YAROSz AT HUB
Low Punches Cost Ex. champ Three Rounds;
 One KnOCkdOWn

Boston, May 3-(UP)-Former Middleweight Champion Ted Yarosz of Pittsburgh was in line for a shot at Freddie Steele's crown today, fol- lowing his 10-round victory over another former middleweight king, Lou Brouillard of Worcester, last night.
 Yarosz scaled 1e1 1-2, Brouillard 161 3-4.
 The referee and one judge voted for Yarosz. The other judge called the battle 8 draw. The United Press score sheet gave Brouillard two rounds and awarded Yarosz the others, three by scant margin.
 Though he forced the fight all the way, Brouillard lost three rounds by low punching. Using his reach to good advantage, Yarosz fought crafty battle. letting the Worcester southpaw wade in and then flashing out with a light left that frequently found its mark.
 The Pittsburgher was credited with the only knockdown, belting Brouillard through the ropes for a one-count with right to the chin in the 10th. Brouillard. however, had Yarosz on the verge of disaster in the ninth when he landed hard lefts to the stomach.
 Before the fight, which drew 25OO, Vince Dundee, who lifted the middleweight crown from Brouil- lard in 1883 and dropped 1t to Yarosz the following year, chal- lenged the winner.
 Tn an eight-round semi-final, Brouillard's brother Tommy, Al, was decisioned by George Martin of Boston, 145 1-4.

INITIAL GAMES |OF 1897 SEASON
 SET FOR SUNDAY
Hearts in First Test With RecreatiOns -B.A.C.
 vs. Tribnnes

Despite anything but promising weather for the grand opening of another City Amateur league base- ball season, all six teams to com- pete in the circuit, their managers and league officials headed by new President Ed Fitzpatrick, looked forward to great Sunday afternoon at Hamilton park tomor- row. Prior to the first pair of games in which the Brooklyn A. c. and Tribunes will meet and the Wash ington Hills and North End Thomas club clash at 1:30 o'clock, an im- pressive ceremony including flag raising, band music and the pres- entation of the Linco Stack Memo- rial trophy to the Sacred. Hearts for permanent possession, the silver cup to be given by it's donor to Mayor Frank Hayes, who will, in turn, hand 1t over to the Hearts field captain. The Hearts and Recreations are booked to meet at 4 o'clock in the third game of the day.
 Ready for Action
 All six teams have been Ion their toes" for the past week with work outs, the last of which were held last evening, with the Brooklyns and Tribunes, opponents tomorrow drilled on adjacent diamonds at nearly the same time. At least dozen new players are expected to dot the lineups of the various teams, with strength reported for Recreations and Thomas club, and indication given that at least four of the i've contenders will give the Sacred Hearts quite a struggle for the championship, which will be won by pitching this season, most of the managers think, as all of them have concentrated on lin- ing up at least two dependable box- men, one of which can be depended upon for a hit now and then.
 Surprise?
 The Thomas club, for instance with Harry Melvin as their new coach, may bob up with George Bltnn and Mandy Green as pitch- CTS. If 50, they have a pair com- parable to any in the league, though Green has been working for Thomaston. Brooklyn,s lineup is pretty much of mystery and reported very unsettled, while the Hearts will have some strong talent in Otto Palau of Bristol, behind the bath with Everett Murphy turned into an outdelder, due to his hitting ability. The Tribunes are set with a slick team, Manager Johnny Rock hints while Ned Far. ley will have his Recs in there from the first ball and the. Hills are a real solid entry with Mulligan, Greatorex. Slattery, Fryer and Bob Grady ready to go for them.
 All in all 1t looks promising, with the real mystery being which club Walter Malin, ex-Springfield coile- gian will be seen with. He is affi- Hated with the local Y. M. 0. A.

Today's Sport
 Parade By HENRY McLEMORE .v,.aA e-.- ca.m n......-A.-a.
tUnited Press stan Correspondent,

Louisville, Ky, May 8-tUP)-The record book says "The 63rd renewal of the Kentucky Derby"
 The weather man says "clear and fast"
 The bettors say "War Admiral. ,
 The turnstiles say 10000.
 Colonel Matt Vim says "whoopeel"
 McLemore says Military"
 And the entire country from Maine and California says "Nutsl Nuts to McLemorel Nuts to Mili- tary!"
 McLemore now says Nuts to you, guys!"
 A Clnch
 Because McLemore, seventh son of a seventh daughter, says Military can't miss. And if you don't bet on him-this magnificent hide who was sired by Saint Germains and damned by Killashandra = you automatically brand yourself as a person who wouldn't accept pass to the mint, with the privilege of wearing two pants suit. He'll go to the post at least 1 to l, which means he affords you an excellent opportunity to make the money you need to buy a hope chest, next win- ter's supply of opium pipes, lino- leum for the sun parlor, and blink CTS for the pet turtle.
 I picked Military in the gray, droopy dawn of yesterday morning, when, yanked from his pallet, they made him take a final spin around what is often called the sacred loam of Churchill Downs. I clockcd him, using the latest Gregorian cal- endar, five-buck sun dial, and a clock without a minute hand.
 He was magnificent. He passed those barber-like furlong poles like a roulette wheel passes the number your dough's on. He had early foot, athletes foot, club foot; he had more courage than Richard the Lion Hearted playing pinochle; he had more staying power than a country relative; and at the finish they had to put hoopskirts on him to stop him.
 There was no traffic in this work out, it's true. He was out there alone, with no one to bother him. But traff1c doesn't bother my goat I mean my noble steed. They tell me he goes through pocket after the manner of Nagurski, and wouldn't hold out his left hand on a turn even if he had one. What he will do to those fancy Dams such as Pompoon, War Admiral, Melodist, and Court Scandal-will be sorhe- thing to see.
 No Chance
 I have seen those other horses that my dog-pardon, mean my great beast will oppose, and 1 wouldn't have them as gift. That War Admiral who is the favorite, looks like a milk horse who has forgotten his route. Pompoon,s tail is fully tenth of an inch shorter than distance runner must have, and Heelfly's fetlocks are tinged with auburn fatal sign in n horse of his years. It denotes weak ness, just as surely as dead alba tross denotes a visit from Samuel Colerdidge. I can pick flaw in all the others. Sceneshifter's withers break to the left, and Reaping Re- ward insists on using the overlap ping grip. Clodion sounds like a

CHEMICAL TEAM
 HOLDS WORKOUT WITH M'C0LLUM
Naugatuck Factory Not to Be Represented in In-
 dustrial League

Naugatuck, May 8.-The, outdoor season of the Alembic Association of Naugatuck Chemical had it's in- auguration last evening when fifty odd candidates reported to Coach Don McCollum for the first baseball workout of the 1897 season. The Alembics should have another snap py aggregation to take its place along side the fine teams of past years.
 Big John White of Naugy ana New York "U" fame, Dan Walsh, Red Scanlon and Ed Enamait will fight 1t out for the backstop duties. Several newcomers will also give these veterans & real battle for this important position.
 Others who will answer the call for candidates are Wallace John son, sensationally fielding first base- men; Jim Kennedy, hard hitting in- fielder; Mankowich of M. I. T. fame; Joe Smey, famed base stealer who has acquired the new nickname of "Ginger", "Bisco" Marinello. out fielder; "Cubby" Cowen, fly chaser; Oscar Blomquist who will come out of his retirement; Linton Renfroe, regular for the past three seasons, Larry Roth, a newcomer who shows promise, and many others. It is ru- mored that Andy Daly and Johnny Raytkwich will attempt a comeback as the "old time battery" Neither however, could be reached for a statement today.
 Due to the fact that a lengthy schedule of games has been drawn Up, 1t H thought that the Alembics will not re-enter the Waterbury h. dustrial Twilight League. It is planned to bring in the outstanding teams of the section to provide Nau- gatuck fans with a fast high type of baseball.
