We Are Catering to Afternoon Bowling Pin Men Always on Hand AETNA ALLEYS, Church Street PI[]NEERS SHOWN UP BY KENILWORTHS Jack Martin, et al, Find Easy Picking—Nutmegs Beat Vikings The Pioneer basketball team sus- tained a crushing defeat at the hands of the Kenilworth five on the Y. M. C. A. court last evening, the boys from the Sovereign's block romping home an casy winner, score 37—16. Using two colts in the first half, O. Kopf and Norfeldt, the victors had no trouble running up a safe lead, and when the second half started and Billy Kopf entered the fray it was only a question of how high the score would go. The Pjoneers who have been looked upon by their adherents as unbeatable struck a snag, and there was no apparent question of the superiority of Captain Martin and his team when the referee's whistle end- ‘ed the game. Harry Scheuy one of the best players ever developed in the High school re-entered the game last night with the Kenilworth team, and displayed some of the form which made him famous. His mates alded him considerably in his come-back success. Jack Martin played one of the best games ever seen on the asso- clation floor, and the Pioneer forwards were lost. Schade, he of eagle eye feme, lived up to his reputation, one of the best basket tossers in the league. Jacobson at center played a fine defensive game clearly outplaying his opponent. The Pioneers came fortified with a cheering squad led by Jim ‘Sheridan, but after the first five minutes of the game, they might as well have been at a “wake’”. Eili- son played the best game for the losers, although the spectacled for- ward who romps around in ‘“show- off” fashion in practice tried hard to start something. The nearest he came to being. noticed was when he threw little Norfeldt to the floor. However the “kid” was undaunted by the spill, the same can not be sald of “specks’” when Billy Kopf lightly tapped him on the nose: The score and summary: KENILWORTH Schade PIONEERS ‘Walthers O.

The Vikings bent on breaking into the column, appeared on the floor with Chief Larson and Dick Anderson in the lineup, and things did not look very bright for the Nutmegs, their opponents. However most of thg fans overlooked the fact that the North end boys were also/ strengthened with Stevie Dudack and Eddie Siegrist. After the Vikings opened the battle with a goal from the foul line, the Nutmegs started off at a fast clip which they maintained throughout the game, and were rewarded with a victory, score 28-24. To Siegrist and Solomon much credit is due for the win, these two players keeping the Swedes well in hand and made the job of the opposing forwards a hard night’s work. Dudack opposed to Larson, was on the jump all through the game and made & num- ber of pretty shots for two point counts. Pickop at center also dis- played a complete reversal of form yand was a big factor in the victory. \Hnwar‘d s tossing of fouls in the sec- ond half, assisted in the Nutmegs’ victory comsiderably.

New York, Jan. 12.—In reply to the request that he surrender nis amateur registration card, Edward L. Eames, the Bronx Church House athlete, de- clared last night that he would fight i the action of the registration commit- tee of the Metropolitan association, which declared him inéligible to com- Ipete as an amateur under Article 10, Clause D, in the courts. to forget about it and pass-along ta other detalls. g If making the game any more at- tractive to the spectator is any part of the desire or thought of baseball leaders, the least that can be done is this: 1. To eliminate the spitball, or the | application of any outside matter to | the cover. 2. Eliminate one strikes. 3. Have a stricter balk interpreta- tion rigidly enforced. These changes call for no vital up- sets and they would, of an absolute surety, be a big advance in the proper direction. of the foul Ball Players and Golf, It is simple enough to understand why so mgny ball players take so kindly to golf. There is nothing in his own game that =o appeals-to a ball player as batting—taking a good, husky wallop. But, whereas a baseball smash that travels 140 vards is a corker, a good | Jong golt wallop can travel from 250 to 300 yards—over double the dis- tance. i We have noticéd frequently that the most appealing shot in golf to most ball players is a gond long carry cver some trap. This seems to have i the same appeal that hitting one aver | the fence hos in baseball. You rarely sce a ball player in golf play one safe. it there s gny chance, even an out- side one o to make the ca'y, he steps up fo give the ball a ride. We saw Christy Mathewson one day, after topping his drive on the 420-yard 16th hole at Englewood, carry the deep bunker guarding the green when he was fully 240 yards away. It looked to be the most foolish possible chance, but he togk it and made good by put- ting everything he had into the smash that followed. STRIKE CRISIS NEAR Fultz Says Training Camps Will Be Unnecessary if Minors Demands Are Not Granted. New York, Jan. 12.—The threat of a baseball strike in the major and mi- nor leagues took on a serious aspect last night, when President David L. Fultz of the Baseball Players’ Frater- nity declared in emphatic terms that unless the requests of the fraternity for the betterment of conditions for minor league players were granted there would be no need of training camps this spring. The announce- ment came like a thunder-clap to the baseball club owners, because up to the present time they have had un- limited confidence that all the play- ers would sign their contracts without hesitancy. That the fraternity meaus business Harry F. Sallee, the Giants’ pitcher, is shown by its action in expelling from the organization, accusing him of breaking his pledge that he would awalt permisston of the organization before affixing his signature to a con- tract. Sallee was the first player to sign & new contract, and President TFultz says that Slim acted in direct vialation of his pledge. The New York pitcheris the first player who has ever been subjected to this radi- cal action by the players’ organiza- tion. i custard pie?” Grantland Rice “Darcy waiting for Carpentier.”| What for, with Miske, Levinsky and | Dillon still in reaching distance?

Bridgeport, Jan. 12.—K. O. Swee- ney of New York submitted to one of | the worst beatings of his carcer %t the hands of Hugh Ross the local mid- dleweight, here last night. Ross hit Sweeney when and where he pleased in every one of the twelve rounds, there being no question as to which was the better man. Ross peppered Sweeney with lefts and rights from gong to gong but was unable to put the latter down for a count. Sweeney was slow on his feet and lacked the punch ‘and stamina that made him a huge favorite here a few years ago. FAMOUS BALL PLAYER DIES.
