His Game PENNS RELAY TEAM IN NEW YORK RACES Bill Carr To Carry U. Of P. Colors Tomorrow ROBERTSON IS ACTIVE PhiladelphiaT-i'ebi4, The-Un4-4 versity of Pennsylvania's one-mile relay team will run intact in the National A. A. U.

meet in New York tomorrow night. Bill Carr, speediest member of the quartet, and holder of the Olympic 400-metre title, today had convinced Coach Lawson Robert son that his knee has healed suf ficiently' to permit him to race. Garr went through a series of time trials and these convinced the coach his star pupil would be in condition to run. Coach Robertson said the in flammatlon in Carr's right knee has been reduced considerably and that although he will not be in as good as condition as hoped for he can run "a creditable 400 metres." Gene Venzke, the holder of the 1,590 metre tndoor record, will seek to hold his title from Glenn Cunningham. BARONS LOSE TO PITTSTON IN HECTIC GAME A few marks on a scorebook may have a vital bearing on the standing of the Wilkes-Barro Barons in the Penn State League.

Manager Sid Ganaposki, whose boys were declared losers of. a tight bat tle at Pittston Armory last night, has filed a protest on. the game with President Joe Walsh and has de manded that the Pittston score keeper produce his scorebook at once to prove that Pittston won the game. On the scoreboard when battle ended, Pittston was to be ahead 36 to 36. The.

Pittston scorer reported to the newspapers that the final score was 36 to 34 In favor of Pittston. The Baron manager con tends the correct score was 36 to 36; that the Pittston timekeeper picked up the watch and dashed away and the players and fans had moved out before any chance was afforded to adjust the disputed score. The protest appears to depend largely upon the accuracy, of the rival scorekeepers. Manager Gana poski lias his own scorebook -to show Johnny Silver, Y. M.

H. A. star, who Jumped center, shot three fouls. Pittston scorer after th game re ported that Silver had made two fouls, which made the final score 36 to 36 but later correoted It and said Silver made no fouls and that the final score was 36 to-34 In-favor of Pittston. A check up by Wilkes- Barre after the game showed Ganaposki claims, that Orsatti should have had credit for five Instead of four, as reported by Pittston, and that 'Rabs Miller was credited by Pittston with one foul, whereas Miller made no fouls, according to the Barons scorer.

Under Penn State League rules. the home scorer's verdict takes pre cedence over the visitors' scorer. Referee "Chuck" Solodare was appealed to during a dispute on the score during the second half of the game when the Baron manager de manded that the Pittston scorer make correction. Solodare ordered that the home scorer's decision stand, charged a time out against Wilkes- Barre and the game continued. Gara- poski claims that it was at that point that the Pitts.ton scorer went wrong and his protest demands that the league president call both scorers together to produce their books.

The Barons dropped into a tie with Freeland for fourth place as a re sult of the disputed game last night. FlUston was ahead by 15 points when the Barons started a rally in the last 13 minutes and crawled up. Mike Miclielotti went out on personals for the Barons but Johnny Silver return ed to the game. Leo Munley, Orsatti and "Rabs" Miller sank field goals but Bainbridge came through as the pinch-hitter for Pittston. hi foul giving-them The withdrawal of Archbaid will permit the Penn State League to shorten its season- and after three more weeks the pennant series wUI get underway.

Tunkhannock and Dunmore seem certain to get into the play-off but Pittston is not yet safe. Nanticokc, with a strong team, still has a chance to crawl Into the series but Wilkes-Barre and Freeland appear to be headed for a neck and neck fight for the fourth position.

This is the news Andy Neitterreiter, his manager, forwarded to Matchmaker Morgan Bird, this aXternoon. "Cobb stopped House in two rounds before, this time he will stop him in the first heat," said Andy in his However, the confident hope of the New Yorker isn't shared by most of the fans in this neighborhood. They recognize In the giant negro a real socker and a real ring-ster who will give the giant Cobb TUFFY GRIFFITH ANDVONPORAT SCRAPTONIGHT Chicago, Feb.

24. Very little will happen to clear Tip' the heavyweight prize fight' fog indeed, nothihg does anymore but there may be some random gore provoking when Tuffy Griffiths and Otto Von Porat settle a controversy or. long standing tonight at the Col1- seum. It is doubtful if either of these gladiators has handlers enough or of sufficient influence to shove him into a heavyweight championship. But, whatever else may be said of Tuffy and Otto, they have from time to time broken the rules of the cauliflower union so far as to actually do some fighting and this is a virtue the customers have always liked.

Nobodv is bettinc on Otto, but you could call him the favorite if it mattered very much. CANZONERI WINS OVER NEBO IN FLORIDA RING MiauiL Feb. 24.

They point to the fact that Cobb was on the canvass in the first round in their first meeting here, and ateo to the contention of Mack, House that he was fouled by Cobb, and not kayoed.

"I will stop Cobb" said Mack House as he worked out today at the South Main street gymnaaium, Fans who have watched House in gym workouts say he looks better than ever, while on the street this "fancy cake walker" struts a merry pace and Is the center of attraction Just now Mack, drssed in the height of fashion, is the beau brummel of central city. BARONS WILL QUIT LEAGUE INBIG FIGHT Owners Demand Higher Classification Or No NYP Baseball MEETING ON TUESDAY Wilkes-Barre will quit the York-Penn League unless the high minor league rating is given the circuit at the scheduled meeting of the moguls next Tuesday at Williamsport "We want baseball of the high est minor brand" was the ultimatum of the Baron owners today, who mean to stick to their guns in-spite of the opposition on the surface by four clubs in the circuit. The Baron owners want the salary limit raised to at least $3,000 per month, which ia $1,000 over the present rating. It is believed Scranton, Hazleton and Binghamton will stick with the Barons in this demand. The fight for better baseball is being backed by the president.

Perry B. Farrell, who realizes the circuit Is entitled to a higher classification than given earlier this year. The St. Louis Cardinal owners, holding the franchise of the El-mira-club, rs battling against higher rating, because it means more salaries and greater expense. "Wilkes-Barre has been anem-ber of the league longer than El-mira" said one owner today.

"Wilkes-Barre has been one of the keystones upon which this league was founded, and has survived. We do not mean to subject our patrons to an inferior brand of baseball. The higher rating will boost the league, and certainly cannot harm it. For that reason Wllkee-Barre stays in if the rating is adopted and drops out If refused." This is a definite stand by the local owners which means much for the future of organized baseball in this territory.
