TEAM [N 1923
WILTON. March 7.—-After passing
through one of the moat severe win-
ters ever experienced in this section,
every one in anxiously looking for-
ward to the coining of spring. no
person will welcome an early spring
‘more keenly than the baseball fans of
Wilton and vicinity.
V Many are wondering what sort of
a club will represent Wilton this year
at Orcm Field. For their enlighten-
ment. it gives the writer much pleas-
ure to give the line-up of the Farm-
ers for 1923. and without doubt same
will bring much joy to the large num-
ber of baseball lovers who have the
“’ilton baseball club's interests at
heart. Here it is: Pleasants. VV'honc.
Mertz. Guarnieri. Sumpe. Schmidt.
Riley. Keene.
tiere. Some of the players may seem
like strangers to many local fans.
but when they see them in action.
one and all. will look upon them as
old friends and every loyal \Vlltonlte
will be full of enthusiasm and back
the Farmers for all they are worth.
There is one little fat boy. whose
face will be somewhat new to \Vilton
people. but as soon as they see him
play they Will give him the glad
hand. for he is none other than Babe
Merts. the star fielder and batter of ‘
last year’s Yale & Towne team. and
during the big New Canaan-Spring-
wood series Babe's mighty but took
the heart out of every Springwood
pitcher.
Now fans you have a. slight pic-
ture of the Farmers for 19:33. and
after you have looked them over, it
is a‘ safe bet every fan in Wilton,
Norwalk and near-by towns will be
more than enthusiastic over their
prospects. Wilton this year has a
much stronger team. a team of hit-
ters. which they have never had be-
fore—m. combination of players who
will play ball as a team and not as
individuals. There is no earthly rea-
son why Wilton should not have a
ball team this year equal to any semi-
professional club in the state.
Every player is a. gentleman. a
clean player mid under the direction
of Manager Riley. it is a foregone
conclusion that \Vllton's reputation
for good clean ball playing will be
greatly enhanced by this year’s tea .
Manager Riley has worked hard t
form n. ball tram that will be a credit
to Wilton. but no ball team can play
»winning ball unless they are free
from worry and confident that their
endeavors will be worth while when
the season ends.
Last year the team was against
hard luck many times and the boys
suffered. Wilton has one of the
most picturesque ball pa'rks in Coil-
necticut and this year should be the
best the baseball team has ever had.
As pitchcrs Manager Riley has
has signed up Ostrowski and Dunn.
These two mound artists need no in-
troduction to the baseball fans in this
section. Dunn last season made a fine
record while pitching fer the Norwalk'
team. and Ostrowski was the main
stay 0 {the pitching staff of the crack
Rosebud nine of Bridgeport for a
number of seasons.
Firpo Summoned
to Court Today
Nl-I‘V YORK. March 8.——-Louis Fir-
po, South Amorlncn aspirant to a title
match with Jack Dempsey. was sum-
moned to appear in court today to
show cause why an injunction should
not be issued preventing him from
meeting Bill Brennan in a. 15 round
bout at Madison Square Garden Mon-
day night.
The order was obtained by the
Pioneer Sporting Club which claims
to hold an agreement with the South
American for priority of his services
since he was unable to fulfill an Pn-
gagement it made for him last sum-
mer to meet Jack Herman. a heavy-
woight. Firpo later met Herman un-
der the auspices of another club with
the sanction of the State Boxing Com-
mission.
The Pioneer Club sought unsuccess-
fully to obtain from the boxing com-
mission an order forcing Firpo to ap-
pear before it with some boxer to be
selected. Commissioner Muldoon
overruled the request. Firpo returned
to South America after boxing Her-
man and while there agreed with Tex
Rickard to meet Brennan at the'
Garden.
City Basketball ‘
Series Arranged
Arrangements were completed last
evening for the city basketball series

Mack’s Manager Wants Too
Much Money, Promoter
Chimbola Says.
Eddie Mack will not be seen in ac-
tion at the next light festival which
Promoter Joe Chimbolc is arranging
for next Friday night. March 16. to be
held in Elks hall. Al Jennings. Ed-
die's manager. and Joe couldn't come
to any agreement on the percentage
of gate receipts that Jennings thought
he was entitled to. Joe claims that
Eddie's manager wants a. percentage
much in excess of any that he has al-
ready received for his services and
stipulates that his protege fight only
ten rounds instead of thlve.
Joe Chimbole wants to go on record
as being the promoter of this boxing
card and doesn‘t want to be told who
he should fight and what percentage
he should pay to the managers of
these fighters who. he says, are being
well paid for their ri'rviccs. Itcalizing
that Eddie is popular with wool fight
fans. Promoter Joe Chimhole tried to
overcome the differences between the
manager and himself but no agree-
ment could be rrached yesterday.
Eddie likes to fight before Stamford
audiences and expressed his regret
'that he won't appear on Joe Cliim-
bole's next card. Losing no time. Joe
proceeded to sign up Young Luby of
Bridgeport, who fought Eddie Mack
in Elks Hall last Friday night. to bat-
tle with Joe Clifford of New York in
the star bout of 12 rounds.
These two boys are siligecrs of the
same type and are very willing mix-
ers which should furnish plenty of ex-
citebcnt for the fans who like this
kind of entertainment. Joe Clifford
L
and Eddie Mack fought to a draw
some time ago in a thrilling battle in,
Elks ”all and his next appearance
with Young Luby should be n. bum-
mer. Promoter Chimbole is endeav—'
oring to bring Frankic Fitzpatrick oft
New York and Young Rudy of llridgo-’
port together in semi—finals. although
the arrangements are not as yet com-
pleted Joe hopes to be successful in
receiving the signatures of both of
these boxers today. This will be an
8-round bout.
Young Brooks who has been train-
ing daily at his training quarters will
exchange blows with Harry Peterson
who received the decision over John-
ny Cooney last Friday night. when the
referee stopped the bout in the'third
round. Both boys are lightweights
and will go over the six round route.
For the first‘bout of the evening
Young Snips and Young Pancho have
been signed. Young Snips is a local
boy and a. member of the Eddie Mack
stable and has a. great following here
who will be pleased to hear that he
has been matched. Young Pancho is
a Filipino and is doing his training
in Norwalk. Pancho has been in this
country.only eight months but has
done considerable fighting on the is-
lands and hopes to equal the remark-
able record of his countryman.

test between Guamieri of the Big Five
and Abbazzle of the Separates. Guar-
nieri was the worst offender in this
respect. and one time during‘the sec-
o‘hd half of the game. it took all of
the players on both teams to separate
these two men when
tangled up.
The Stamford team flashed some
speedy floor work which seemed to
dazzle the Big Five at times. Moruke
was the leading scorer for the Separ-
ates. and tossed in five field goals and
three foul goals for a total of 13
points. He also played a great floor
game, and time after time broke up
plays of the Norwalk team with his
speedy floor work. Saunders also
played a fine game for the Lock City
team and rustled the netting ihrm»
times for field goals and three times
for foul goals.
Mullen is Star.
Mullen was the outstanding star for
the Norwalk team. Mullen scored
five baskets and one fled goal for a
total of 11 points. McMahon played
a good floor game.
This was the third game of the ser-
ies between these two teams and last
night's victory gave Stamford the
series with two games out of three to
their credit. All of the games played
in this series were hard fought from
start to finish. and it is hoped that the
