Cards are pleased. All well on the championship fronts. Announcement that Yale wilt have a month of Spring football practice, although Harvard has given up such activities, is rather surprising, particularly as Yale has seemed to favor a number of new ideas in sports recently. Boston -baseball fans learned with real regret the stabbing of Ed Morris of the Red Sox. The big pitcher had one fine year and at other times flashed some great twirling.

But, all in all, he never was the pitcher it seemed he might have been. All persons whej indulge actively in sport and pay for the privilege will watch eagerly the outcome of the suit instituted by Rufus H. Hinkley of Dedham against the collector of internal revenue for refund of $2, which he claims was illegally assessed on his fee for use of a golf course. Throughout the country there must be hundreds of thousands of persons whose position is identical with" that of Mr Hinkley. Even though the amount involved in each case is prob ably small.

It Is safe to say that de velopments will be followed with in terest. Call an ex-Gopher coach, put pep into a demoralized Tiger? seems to be the question facing H. O. Crlsler. After a long sports slump which culminated in the football rout in the Bowl last Fall, Princeton has shown distinct signs of being at the beginning of a sports revival.

This Winter the basket-ball team, a trailer for several seasons, is leading the procession, while the hockey team won Princeton's first victory over Yale in five years. The prominence given Oscar Eckhardt in the early, dispatches from the Braves' camp brings up an Interesting point. The name denotes Scandinavian origin without a doubt. But how many Norwegians or Swedes do you recall among the big league heroes? Lewis S. Harris, Belmont High coach, is president of a new baseball circuit in Middlesex County to be known as the Paul Revere League.

It will be a strictly amateur organization, if plans of the organizers are carried through. There are all too few real amateur teams in the field, whatever certain semiprofessional outfits may call themselves. A University of Maine student died as a result of a fractured skull received in a boxing bout Monday, Had such a tragedy foc-curred in football, the howl of the wolves would be heard echoing through the land. It is a rather curious fact that accidents in other sports arouse little interest and small comment, while an accident that can in any wsy be connected with the gridiron is ballyhooed loudly. Perhaps that's just snother proof that Interest in football is greater than in any other game.

With both Jack Dempsey and Bennle Leonard earnestly trying to stage comebacks, perhaps Jess Willard or Jim Jeffries may hear the call before long; With Harvey of Toronto leading the National League scorers, Percy of the Cubs guarding the nets, Richard elected captain of the 1933 Dartmouth team and Lloyd playing for New Haven, the Jacksons are very much in the hockey picture right now. Thia seems to be the year of the sporting dogs In the big kennel exhibitions, Hartford having been the only place at which they did not win best-dog in the show honors. It is reported, that considerable sentiment exists in favor of making the Eastern Dog' Show a two-day instead of a three-day exhibition. It is believed, by some dog lovers that a banner crowd will be on hand Washington's Birthday under any circumstances and that the holiday and one additional day would be enough. hold-outs.

The only ones not already in camp are Sherdel, the pitcher; Earl Clark, the outfielder, and Ellsworth Hazzard. Sherdel was delayed a couple of days on account of sickness in his lamily, but is expected tomorrow; Clark will probably come in tonight, and Hazsard has. been given permission to finish his course at the University ot Illinois. Today work was simply a repetition of that of yesterday; with a cession of batting practice added. Berger, Schulmench, Shires, Eckhardt and, in fact, most of the others, were hitting the ball hard, but, of course, the pitchers were not exerting themselves, and it was not very difficult for the batters to get hold of the ball, but the way they went at their work was good to see.

The squad had a fine workout in the morning, but the afternoon session was not so strenuous. Maranville did not fret out today, he and Mrs Maranville being househunting. Gowdy Shows Them Work with the medicine ball and calisthenics was a feature of the afternoon cession. They tossed the medicine ball, kicked it while lying prone linnn tha tiiif nnri Ireni 4f tin 11 tttir could not rajse a hand or footi Than after a breathing space Hank Gowdy put tliem through some stunts in causmenics. just now mis is gruelling exercise, but it will be kept -up until becomes as much of a -eport as anything else can be In the system of training.

The weather was again perfect. Thus far there have been no serious accidents. Bill McAfee, the pitcher, complained of a sore throat, and Mc-Kechnie made It easy for him by excusing him from work in the afternoon session. It is, of course, too soon to expect to have a line on the new material. It all looks pretty good, and Mc-Kechnie says he is well satisfied with the work.

It is going to be some time, however, before he wilr be ready to form aay definite judgment as to their real ability. They will be playing in some scrub games by Saturday or early next week, and then a better line may be had on them, Watch Old-Timers The three-quarters of a centurv squad was out for a short three-inning game inis rorenoon, and the Cubs, whose average age was above 80, won Dy a score or 17 to More people were watching the old fellows play man. were waicning tne Braves. C. W.

Eldredge who retired from business as an accountant after passing his 100th birthday, has become bench manager for the veterans. He has been coming here each Winter for several years, but is here to stay this trip. Bill Irwin, the old high jumper of th B.

WALBERG ONLY MEMBER OF ATHLETICS NOT SIGNED FORT MYERS, Fla, March 1 (A. All is well in the Athletics' camp-Lefty Grove has signed. "Grove signed at 10 a todav." Connie Mack casually remarked as he sat on the bench watching players w-arm up. He would not reveal details. "Everything's fixed," said Grove.

Rube Walberg now is the only holdout. Mack said Grove is in good physical condition, but would not be used in exhibition games for a while. A two-year contract at $25,000 a season, drug store chatter had it, waa the document Lefty Grove signed. Both the pitcher and Manager Connie Mack, however, declined to verify the report as to the amount. FRANKIE FRISCH SIGNS WITH WORLD CHAMPIONS BRADENTON, Fla, farch 1 (A.

Frankie Frisch, captain and second baseman of the World Champion Cardinals, has accepted terms for the 1932 campaign, Pres Sam Breadon announced here today. Breadon refused to give any details. With Frisch in line, the Redbirds now have only two real holdouts, Charley Gelbert, shortstop, ana Chick Ha-fey, leftelder. BISSONETTE IS SPIKED IN VOLLEY-BALL GAME CLEARWATER, Fla, March 1 (A. The Brooklyn Dodgers suffered their first casualty today when Del Bis-sonette, first baseman, was spiked during a game of volley ball after the morning practice.

It is expected he will be able to play again in the first intra-camp game Thursday. Manager Max Carey gave his men a hard drill today, keeping the pitchers working while the lntield went through fast session. Rookie outfielders patrolled the outer pastures in the absence of Lefty O'Doul, Babe Herman and Hack Wilson. BABE RUTH REMAINSTHE ONLY YANKEE HOLDOUT ST PETERSBURG, Fla, March 1 (A. Tony Lazzeri telegraphed the news today that he had signed his con.

WESTON REGAINS TOP-TIE IN WOMEN'S BADMINTON The title race in Group of tha Women's Interclub Badminton League is again deadlocked as a result of the three-point victory which Weston scored over Franklin yesterday, In a match postponed from last Friday.

By scoring a crean sweep, Weston caught up with Hlnghani at the top of the standing. As there are only two weeks of play left, the match between these two teams Friday should go far toward deciding the final winner. Mrs H. B. Willis starred In Weston'a victory yesterday, winning in singles and playing on a victorious doubles team.

The Eagles have a nucleus for a good team with the infield Intact and the (mainstays of last year's pitching staff on hand. Only Capt George Colbert, catcher, and the outfield group of Shea, Herman, Regaa and Temple were lost by graduation.

Other players tip from the freshman team of last year are: Johnny Freitas, Shea, Tom Blaltf, JUy Function.

Frank Maloney, Raymond Harrington, and Ed Kelley. ALL POSITIONS ON B. U. NINE OPEN. SAYS COACH A squad of about 35 candidates reported for Boston University's first varsity baseball practice yesterday afternoon.

Last week it was announced by the management of the New Bedford club that unless it could transfer its franchise to operate in Brooklyn when a resumption of league games was made it would disband. The United States Football Association refused permission for the change yesterday. it has been talked of here for some time to launch a local league to save the ruinous traveling expenses which the trip to New England entails each week for the New Tork teams, and take in four other clubs to make an Us Xp4 WINS TITLE 1 FRANCIS Swimming a special 500-yard relay against the New Haven Swimming Club, the Tale team was clocked In 4 minutes 30 seconds, a new world's record, one second faster than the previous mark set by Tale last week.
