MONDAY EVENING,
I Snell, who is certain of an infield
position, probably third base, if he
returns to college as it is now ex
pected that he will when the spring
term opens in two weeks. All three
j were married about the time when
they began their military service, to
which they have given nearly two
years.
Yale has an exceptionally bril
liant squad of candidates, and the
permanent selection for any posi
tion is well advanced.
If the eligibility of Jack Hager is
finally determined favorably, he will
be the leading candidate for the
pitcher's box.
Two pitchers of only freshman ex
perience who are developing rapidly j
! under the coaching of Lauder are
; Frank Coxe and Dean Robinson. !
Robinson came to Yale from And- !
over and Coxe from the Asheville, !
X. C., High school.
The Yale baseball candidates will :
receive considerable military training ;
during the season because of the j
offer of Colonel L. A. Beard, former |
West Point player, to assist Coach i
Ixxudor at the daily practice. Colo- I
r.el Beard, who is commandant of!
the Yale Artillery Battalion, played I

JOHN x GILL
! Coming h'rom Overseas to Join Bar
, rett Ranks
' Joe Barrett, the Steelton boxing i
promoter, is watching and waiting
for the new famous twenty-eighth
division of the Pennsylvania state :
troops to return from over there. In '
this troop he has three of the best
I boxers in their respective classes I
showing before the big fuss started:
namely. Steve Conlon, of Altoona,
i whom Barrett said will annex the
place now held by Benny Leonard, :
| lightweight champion, and Johnny |
j Gill, whom every one knows in this !
! section as the cleverest welterweight i
I in this section.
i Gill like Silar is a native of York.
' and his last bout before going across
I was to stop Johnny Wolgast with
I three broken ribs.
i When Barrett first contemplated
putting on shows at Pteelton, he
j wrote of his intentions to Gill and the
, other boys, and told him of his inten- !
tions to locate in this section. A re-
I turn letter from theni said O. K.; Just i
j heat things up a bit. until we return. 1
1 We have taken on several pounds of I
j weight but it is solid. I
It will be impossible for Gill to j
intake 14J pounds on his return, which '
is the legitimate welterweight. Just ,
before sailing. Gill was matched with '
Jack Britton. who then held the wel- i
ter title, but Jack lost to Ted Lewis, i
Recently Jack accomplished some- ■
thing never done before, that was to I
win back his title, so Gill's one aim. i
Barrett says, is to get a crack at Brit- j
ton. The battling twenty-eighth will ]
return home in May, it is a good bet ;
that Barrett wilt g,. after Britton for I
his protege. Gill's last letter to Bar
rett said he was sorry that he could
not grab the winner of the Miller and 1

w York, March 31.—Sir Thomas
Lipton, challenger for the America's
cup, who recently accepted the condition
of the Xew York Yacht Club for a race
in 1910, arrived here to-day on the
steamship Aquitania from Liverpool. He
' was accompanied only by his secretary i
ind said the object of his visit here was I
I to meet old friends, many of whom he '
had not seen since his last visit to the 1
United States in 1913.
As was recently announced from Lon-'
don, Sir Thomas agreed that it would '
be advisalfe to race before next year. |
"BesideA" he added, "it will be" all to I
my advantige to put it off for the 1
reason that it is impossible to obtain j
1 good crewnow, as the sailors in Eng- •

Lewis's Head Lock Will Be
Supreme Test For Dr. Roller
DR. B. F. ROLLER
j Famous Physician-Wrestler Who M eets "Strangler" Lewis here Tuesday-
Night
Any way one looks at it the wrest
; ling battle to-morrow night between
! lid "Strangler" Lewis and Dr. 1!. F.
Roller, at the Chestnut Street Audi
i torium, gives every promise of being
| one of the hardest fought mat contests
j ever scheduled in this country, and one
! that will give the public a full evening
of satisfaction. Both men have every
. thing to gain by a victory and both are
i on edge for the big match.
Aside from the fact that it Is a
championship battle, between the two
' leading heavyweight wrestlers of this
| country, now that Joe Stecher has been
eliminated by his defeat at the hands
i of Lewis, chief interest centers in the
| struggle itself on account of the two
: contestants being so evenly matched,
j And the outcome, so it seems, depends
1 entirely upon whether Roller, former
; American champion, has profited by the
i example ef Zbyszko and thus knows
| how to break the great headlock of the
( "strangler."
I If Roller—and he says he has—has
| solved that hold as Zbyszko must have
I solved it in his great battle with Lewia ;
j two weeks ago in New York then he
I is almost certain to remove the Am

{ broad shoulders of Ed Lewis when they i

! Lewis' headlock hold Is by ali odds
[ the best known grip of the game. It j
i has been written of more than any,
; other wrestling lock and has unquestion- j
| ably accounted for more big wrestlers at •
j the hands of one contestant than any j
i other hold of the game. Others have j
I tried to use it but none have mastered j

: self never could use it with effectiveness
although he has tried it on numerous
occasions.
While Lewis did not invent the head
lock it was he who perfected it. After
he 'got it well under way his troubles
: became more numerous than ever. It
became next to impossible to get train
ers who would let him play it on them,
as the gruelling they got was not to
j their liking. Finally Ed's manager,
; I Billy C. Sandow. an old wrestler him
! self, invented a head-shaped wooden
1 j dummy, split down the middle and
! separated by three strong springs,
! which Lewis carries with him and works
i with almost every day to develop his
