NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBE R 26, 1915, EDWARD HUNGERFORD OF THIS COMMISSION RULE BY PLAY [ = o s CITY SHINES IN TRINITY-SPRINGFI ELDY. M. C. A. CROSS-COUNTRY RUN—BIG LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYERS IGNORING | ING IN EXHIBITION GAMES—NAVY TEAM GAINING CONFIDENCE FOR GAME AGAINST q ARMY SATURDAY--WHARTON RETIRES s — DLAYERS OPENLY | DEFY COMMISSION Decree Agaihst Exhibition Games Has Been Much Abused New York, Nov. 26.—That old fa- illar saying While the cat's away lhe mice will play,” has been changed is fall to “When the magnates scrap he ball players make hay.” Several vears ago the Natianal com- hission adopted a stringent rule gainst major league players taking art in exhibition games after the laying of the championship season. priginally this rule applied only to the layers who were on the world's { hampionship agsregations, hut later was promulgated ta include all play- rs. Fines as high as $100 were plastered, n players for taking part in exhibi- on games against the commission’s rders. The commission frowned on 1l fall barn storming trips, and the nly trips sanctioned were those which ere arranged by the officers of a club elf and in which the entire team 0ok part. Though this rule of the commission ! ever has been repealed it was violat- d during the present fall as never be- re. Few ball plavers paid any at- ention to it, and any player who could ick up a little ‘“velvet” after the sea- i on did so. Big Leaguers on Sand Lots, In the Sunday semi-pro games round New York directly -after the osing of the season the teams were anned almost entirely by big leas- ers. Players of the caliber of Ruth, lchang, Strunk, Pratt, Ring and Ru- olph were featured prominently in ese exhibitions. & ‘Even some of the world’s champion | feds ignored the order. In Brooklyn limmy Ring appeared before his home ans, and “Shad” See, substitute out- elder on the Reds, also played on lo- al semi-pro flelds. Out in California ‘alter Ruether has been pitching ight along. In one game he opposed abe Ruth, the crack pitcher-mauler f the Red Sox. Swede Risberg, hortstop for the Chicago American | ague champlons, is playing winter | ague ball on the coast. | While it was the National commis- | ion which originally put the ban on 21l players picking up a little “‘extra’ the fall it was really Ban Johnson, resident of the American league, Who as behind the agitation against;big aguers participating in exhibition ontests. He was very bitter against his practice, and it was at his request at the commission took such drastic tion against Dplayers violating the der. Whether the wholesate violation of | e order shows signs of Johneon' vaning strength or that Ban is too'| pusy punishing his “dishonest” club| wners to punish more players is not juite ciear. ¢ , Johnson_actually did take up tie fatter with John Heydler, president f the National league. He called at- ntion to some Cincinnati players vio- ing the order against world’'s cham- pions playing in exhibition contests. Permission Granted to Ring. In reply Heydler called attention to lie fact that avhen Ring played in Brooklyn it was with the permission | b the Cincinnati club and that major | aguers violated the order against parn storming and exhibition games | 11 over the country. t ‘Heydler does not seem to be par- jcularly opposed to the practice, pro- ided the players do not overda it. He paid that in the last war year, 1918, fhe order was not enforced and that he players went ahead this fall under bhe lax system in vogue a year ago. In jew of the shortened 1919 season he aw no objection to a player picking i» a little extra money this fall, but jie is strongly opposed to a player playing ball the entire winter. Such a player cannot give his club he best that is in him,” said Heydler, “for any player who plays in the win- r will get stale before the following keason s over.” ! The writer is by no means opposed o ball players taking part in exhibi- jon contests, but he points to the bractice to show what respect the av- prage player has today for the author- ty of the muddled National commis- on: COOGAN IS SUSPENDED. Montcith Also Under Ban For Failure to Post Forfeit. Milwaukee, Nov.

PENN COACH RESIGNS Dr. C. M. Wharton to Conclude Serv= itain Loy, F. B, ices as Linemen Instructor After Tomorrow’s Game With Cornell. Philadelphia, Nov. 26—Almost ihe cve of the twenty-sixth annual Penn.-Cornell = football game, Dr. Charles M. (Buck) Wharton, the fa- | mous line coach at Penn., announced that his retirement as coach will take place after the Thursday’s contest. As a player, physiciaw and line voach, Dr. Whartan has 1 ted with the Blues xactly twenty-five years. Recently celebrated his twenty-fifth anniversary by producing one of the vest lines Penn. has ever had. | Dr. Wharton gives as his reason for + resigning that his time'is nceded more in Penn's sports for all policy. He is assistant’ to Dr. R. Tait McKenzle as director of physical education and as such will direct the training of 11,000 | Penn undergraduates in all of the | sports on the Red and Blue calendar. Wharton's name has been mentioned in some quarters as a possible head coach for next year, since Bob Fol- well’s contract runs out this year, but Dr. Wharton says he does not care for the job. Cornell passed throuzh Philadel- phia last night on its way to Atlantic Ciiy and stopped long cnough to have something to cat. The Penn. varsity squad went ! through a spirited drill in the rain at the White Marsh Valley Country Club, some of the old time stars being out to help Folwell, Hollenback, Wharton and A. Miller. Jack Minds, captain of the Penn team in 1897, has warned the Pen players and coaches agalnst gverconn- dence. “Whenever they have their worst early seasons,” said tho famous Red and Blue back, “they come down to Franklin Field and play their hard- est.” on DECLINES BIG OFFER Capt West-Spurns $1,000 Offer From | Cleveland Pro Football Manager tol Play Against Canton. Hamilton, N. Y., Nov. 26.—D. Bel- | fort West, captain of the Colgate foot- ball team during the season just closed | vesterday declined an offer of $1,000 to play tackle for the Cleveland Ti-| gers on Thursday afternoon in Cleve- | land against Jim Thorpe's Canton Bulldogs, for the professional cham- pionship. The offer came from Jack ingersoll, Colgate coach in 1912, who | is ‘managing the Cleveland profession- als. Offe so were made to Hanlk Gillo- and Oscar Anderson of Colgate, but they joined with West in declining. West, Gillo and Anderson have com- pleted their football carcers at Col- | gate, but West and Anderson are| eligible for basketball and are already at work with Bill Reid's squad. They have two splendid opportunities dur- ing the coming basketball season to secure revenge upon Syracuse for wrecking Colgate’s aspirations in the form of a 13-7 defeat on November 15.

The coaches drove the varsity through a rough fifteen minutes setto with the scrubs as a finale to the heavy work. From how on the men will get light practice, putting in a couple of hours today and going out on the plains for their last drill on Thanksgiving morning. Yesterday the big team showed some improvement, notably in the line plunging offense which the sol- diers are rather adhering to this year. The doubtful guard and end posi- tion is apparently no nearer a solu- tion.

Koehler, Clark, Cruse ! and Watters started in the back field, again strengthening the belief they will start against the Army. The head coach stated that condi- tions of Saturday will determine the and some of the men who will be sent in to. do the work before them. After the reg- ular quartet had been playing a while Watters Taylor, Haase, Frankenberger, Dole, Rodes, Rooney and Hamilton were given a brief spell in the backfield. Every effort is being made to pre- vent the sale of tickets to the Army- Nayy game, and particularly their falling into the hands of speculators, as has happened in previous years. That these efforts are not entirely sat- isfactory is indicated by reports that ! tickets are new being sold in. New York and elsewhere at big figures. Commander D. L. Howard, secre- tary of the Navy Athletic association, has been authorized to pay $15 for each ticket which can be purchased, so that the original holders may be traced and drastic measures taken against him. Commander Howard's office will be in the Hotel Commodore from Thursday evening until after the game.

You will prefer this Camel blend to either kind of tobacco smoked straight! Give Camels the stiffest tryout, then eompare them with any cigarette in the world at any price for quality, flavor, satisfaction. No matter how liberally you smoke Camels they will not tire Yyour taste! & 1. REYNOLDS TOBACCO CO. Winston-Salem, N. C.
