i s AKACEYS STATE LEAGUE DIRECTORS DECIDED MERIDEN - NEW BRITAIN GAME MUST BE PLAYED OVER—TOMMY NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1922, WM_M S\ QUiSH’S QUINTET PLAYS RINGS AROUND LOCALS — CITY LEAGUE BOWLERS TO ROLL TONIGHT AT CASINO ALLEYS — YANKS' OWNERS HOPE TO LAND OUTFIELDER THIS WEEK MANCHESTER K.

The score was 42 to 27, and does not tell the real superiority the Silktown quintet over the home hoys. It must be saki that no better exhibition has ever been given than that of 9tz gerald, the Springtield boy, who I8 proving one of the sensations of the Kaceys State Leaguc. The Bay Stater accounted for 20 points for his team, with six fleld and eight foul goals. His eye for the basket was deadly b in only two Instances did he fail to regis- ter a point from the foul line. Itz shot six straight foul goals before he slipped up. Whole Team Was 0. K. Toramy Shechan, the other Spring- fleld boy with the Manchester team, was a tower of strength on the defense and playing alongside him was that old favorite Joe Madden. This pair formed defense that was impregnable. Jerry Fay, the elongated center, con- tributed largely to the success of the team. Jerry's great height is a big fac- tor to the success of the team. Usual- 1y the team gets possession of the ball on the jump, and whenever it is 17itz- gerald or Sheehan that lands it, the opposition usually finds its mighty hard to get the ball aw: Outplayed From Start New Britain was never in the run- ning, except for a brief moment in the middle of the first half. Up to this time Manchester had secured a good lead, but excellent work by Kilduff, Sheehan and Murphy, managed to bring the score to an even basis of nine points each. The Manchester team then started a spurt, that left the.league leaders in the rut, and as the game progressed, the advantage was increased materially. Madden con- tributed two shots in the second half, that were ‘‘pips.” Standing in his own territory near the center of the court, Madden in succession dropped two fleld goals. His efforts were met with merited applause. Locals Off Form The locals’ teamwork ‘vas missing in Saturday night's game, while on the other hand, the boys from Cheneyville, gave an exhibition that was pleasing to watch. Even the most ardent local fan was lauding his praise of the work of the visitors. Play Y. M. H. A. Tomorrow Tomorrow night, the Kaceys will meet the Y. M. H. A. team, in a game that should be a thriller. The Y. M. team is composed of good players of Hartford and New Haven, and includes Mickey Botwinik, Pite, Sam Suisman, Hurwitz, Dunn, Baron, Rivkin and Carey. The team is not the same that lost to the Emeralds of Willimantic, Manager Larry Mangan of the Kaceys announced today. Owing to the sum- mons meeting of Daly Council, K. of C., to elect several officers tomorrow night's game will be started at 8 o'clock. There will be a preliminary game, and dancing will as usual be held. Baturday Manchester Fitzgerald baskethall on a |l it of sadly night’s summary:— New Britain Kilduff Right I'orward .

SIGNS WITH TIGERS Johnny Mohardt, Disqualificd Notrs Dame Star To Go South With Ty Cobb's Detroit Team. Detroit, i'eb. 6.—Johnny Mohardt, disqualified football and baseball star of Notre Dame university, will join the Tigers when the team starts south nest month. To personal friends, Mohardt acknowledged that he had sign~d with the Tigers, and investiga tion of the report proved that if Mo Lardt decided to play professional baseball it would be with Detroit. It wasn't Mohardt's intention to en- gage in professional baseball this r, as he wanted to play another n with Notre Dame. His dis qualification, however, changed his plans and he decided to launch him- self into the professional arena. NO CLEMENCY FOR RUTH Judge Landis’ Decision In Joe Harris Case Does Not Give Yanks' Owners Any Great Encouragement. New York, Ieb. 6.—The reinstate- ment by Commissioner Landis of Joe Harris, who ignored the reserve clause in his contract and played with an “outlaw” baseball club last year, is not awakening any vivid hopes in the breasts of the Yankees club own- ers that the commissioner will extend clemency to Babe Ruth. Though the moves of Judge Landis are past find- ing out—until he has made them-— the Yankee officials do not take the Harris reinstatement as any indica- tion that he (Judge Tandis) will shorten or suspend the five weeks' vacation imposed on the Babe for Farnstorming. What Harris did seems to be more of an offense to organized baseball than what Ruth did, but in the Harris case, Judge Landis considered his rec- ord as a soldier. When asked yes- terday if he thought that meant len- iency for Ruth's case, Col. T. L. Hus- ton replied: “No, I think it more likely the judge will keep Ruth out for the time originally fixed.” WOULD JOIN CONFERENCE University Of Detroit Athletic Offl- cials T'avor Proposed Plan Detroit, Feb. 6.—The University of Detroit has recelved favorably the proposal to organize a middle west in- tercollegiate athletic conference and would join such a body if the rules did not confine athletic competition to members of the conference, accord Ing to I'ather W, L.

FACTORY ~ MANCHESTER.N.H. PENN. STRENGTHENY Victory Over Princeton Saturday All But Determined Championship New York, Ieb, 6, the Pennsylvania five at Princeton on Saturday has uall but determined the winner of the intercollegiate cham- plonship for this year. In the Orange and Black outfit Penn had looked for its greatest obstacle barring a clear path to the title, the Princetonians having subdued all of their opponents on the court, including the strong Dartmouth quintet, Only the presence of a single weakness in the Red and Rlue's machine, the lack of a con- sistent foul shooter, leaves any doubt 18 to the ultimate victory. Pennsylvania's remarkable achieve- ment in winning the intercollegiate championship for three consecutive geasons has been due in part to the excellent basketball system prevailing at the Philadelphia institution and to a great extent to their possessing an- nually the premier foul shooter of the league, In 1019 and 1920 Mike Sweeney sported Pennsylvanla's colors and carried off the high scoring hon- ors mainly through his ability at cag- ing the ball from free throws. The record of Danny McNichol in the league tournament a year ago In shooting 122 out of 155 foul tries in ten games has been heralded too often to need repetition. This year, however, the first time in many seasons, I’ennsylvania finds it- self without a foul shooter of even mediocre caliber. Bill Grave, the only member of the regular five who has attempted the free throws, has fared rather poorly. His best performance was turned in against Yale, in which game he managed to shoot 8 out of 14 goals from the fifteen foot mark. He caged but 3 out of § against Col- umbia, and on Saturday against Princeton only 2 goals out of 12 free tries came very ncar losing the game for Penn, The success of the Red and Blue five in winning fifteen consecutive games this year without the aid of a consistent foul shooter serves only to indicate the superiority of the Penn machine over its opponents. Pennsyl- vania's margin of victory, however, has been too small in its important contests to lend, any degree of cer- tainty to its maintaining the league leadership when the end of the season rolls round. Dartmouth is still a powerful factor in the race, and the Green team possesses Bill Cullen, the most accurate foul shooter in this year's tournament. Princeton is also to be considered a strong contender, as Penn's victory on Saturday was by a mere field basket. Cullen’s leadership for the high scoring honors was threatened some- what by one game played in the league this week, that between Penn and Princeton. The Green forward is still in the van with a total of 47 points, but I.oeb of Princeton caged 10 points on Saturday and managed to boost his total to 44 points. Loeb's gain in the scoring column enabled him to pass Bob Pulleyn of Columbia, who had previously amassed a total of 37 points. Cullen is still leading the league in foul shooting, with 35 free tries to his credit. Pulleyn is second with 25 and loeb, with his 6 foul shots against Penn has increased his total to 24, where he is tied for third with Luther of Cornell. Grave has shot but 13 out of 34 foul tries in three league games. Standing of the League. Opp Pts 50 7% 72 112 59 69 The vietory of Team Penn. Princeton Dartmouth Columbia Yale ... Cornell .

I'he smaller the college and the successful the athletles, the ater I8 the feeling of distrust,” he "Such condlitions threaten the entire structure of intercollegiate sports, It is time for faculties, ad- ministrations and governing bodies to consider these things.' If the report of President Lowell of Harvard, which declared college sports had too prominent a place in college life ““brings about such a sur- . iterconeglate athletie rela- tions, he should have the gratitude of every lover of young men and every loyal American citizen,” Director Sav- age asserted, Director Savage declared tude of eastern educational towardd athletics, “always has been restrictive and repressive, instead of constructive and directive," *This policy of the east has been a terrible incubus upon the progression of the rest of the country,” he sald. “Charges of crookedness, profession- alism and other forms of ineligibility in connection with many prominent football teams in the last season are only a few surface indications of what has been altogether too general throughout intercollegiate football circles,” the statement concluded. HARTFORD WINS IN VOLLEY BALL MEET mor B sald, the atti- leaders VANKS' OWNERS ARE AFTER OUTFIELDER Hopes Entertained of Getting Veach, Hooper or Strunk New York, Feb, 6,—Whether Elmer Miller, the Yankees' only outfielder not now on Judge Landis's blacklist, will have an assistant in the early duys of the pennant race one Robert Veach or Harry Hooper or perhaps Amos Strunk, is & question that ought to be settled by the end of the pregent week. Ior on Wednesday next the American league will hold its annual schedule meeting in Washington, and this conclave of baseball men will pro- vide the Yankees' last opportunity for the outflelder trade that has been brewing and simmering these many months, The Yankees are making no bones about what they want to do at Wash- ington. They sce in the schedule meet- ing their final hope of swinging the deal that New York fandom has been waiting for. Ifor one thing, Irank Navin and Ty Cobb, the powers that be in Detroit, will be under the same roof with the Yankee Colonels for the first time since the meeting here in December. For another thing, various other managers and owners will be at the meeting, and it will be their last chance to talk trade until after the training trips are over and the season is begun. If Colonels Ruppert and Huston, alded by Miller Huggins and ldward G. Barrow—the Yankee-delegation to Washington-—fail to swing the deal this week, Huggins will have nothing left to do but take off his coat, send Messrs. I"ewster, Roth, Skinner, Haines and other outfield prospects through a special dieting and training, and jump into the job of making the Lest of the situation. Many people don't consider the situation as bad as it has been painted, but in any case Huggins Prolessional and Buginess Men From Nearby Towns Compete Over 40 professional and business men, from Winsted, Hartford and New Britaln, competed in a sectional volley ball tournament at the local Y.

Senior All Around. The third of the series of athletic events for the members of the senior department was held last week. The events were the 220 yard dash and the running broad jump.

The standing of the first eight men competing is as follows: Hall, 18 points; Dehm, 70 points; Tancred, 66 points; Luke, 60 points; Kutscher, 57 points; A. Blanchard, 55 points; Con- ley, 51 points; Strickland, 39 points. The fourth series will be held to- night. The events are the 440 yard run and the 12 pound shot put. Basketball Leagues. Dasketball leagues have been or- ganized in the High school and junior classes. The teams with thelr cap- tains are as follows: High School Class-—Snalls, Spencer, captain; All Collegiates, Berquist, captain; All Stars, Beloin, captain; Steam Rollers, Roberts, captain. The Snalls trimmed the All Stars -4 to 4, and the All Collegiates de-) feated the Steam Rollers, 6 to 4, in the first series of games, Junior Class—Bob Cats, Landino, captain; Tigers, Hewitt, captain; Eagles, McGary, captain; Wild Cats, Raspanti, captain; Bkunks, Mimino, captain; Choke Cherries, Noble, cap-| tain.

The chances of Bobby Veach leaving Detroit are less rosy, for Navin and Cobb, badly in need of a shortstop, have demanded in return either Everett Scott and a second- string pitcher or a second-string short- stop and a leading pitcher. Colonel Ruppert has said flatly that Scott will not leave the Yanks, and it likely that Huggins would be willing to turn loose any of his first four twirlers, Mays, Hoyt, Bush and Jones. That the Yankees have been con- ducting quiet negotiations for an out- fielder recently is an open secret, but what players are involved is more of a mystery. The Yanks believe that premature publicity frustrated the Veach deal, and so now they drop not even a hint as to what direction the present negotiations are taking. With Ty Cobb in Augusta and Navin in Detroit, the Veach dicker slumped badly and the Yankees were constrain- ed to look elsewhere. Whither they have been looking may be revealed on Wednesiay.

On Conqueror Of Bill Sweeney. “Silent Mike" Doran, the local deaf and dumb welterweight, will meet Teddy Russell in the main bout, a 12-round go, at Mystic tonight. *“Si- lent Mike" has taken off the pound- age necessary to weigh in at 148 and is in the pink of condition for to- night's fray, Jo Itussell he will meet a worthy opponent, Teddy, before coming east held the welterweight championghip honors of the state of Wisconsin. In one: of his first engagements in Con- necticut, he kayoed Tracy Ierguson, conqueror of Rill Sweeney via the knockout route. He fought a draw with Steady Steadman, after Steady had. been shaded by Mike Morley. An Englishman claims to have dis- covered a metal by which airplanes could be made invisible, quisition of another outfielder would be gilding the lily. They consider the Yanks strong enough to walk through another pennant, even with Meusel and Ruth absent antil May 20. One of the outfield possibilities is Wally Schang, who was an outfielding catch- er at times with the Mackmen. With Schang, a robust hitter, in the out gardens, Al De Vermer, fleet of foot and strong of arm, would handle the mit and mask. Chick Fewster and Bobby Roth are other outfield pros- pects that certain managers would not sniff at. All in all, with Jones and Bush giving extra polish to the pitch- ing, the Yanks are not inclined to believe that the pennant will be de- cided between April 12 and May 30. ) DIREGTORS DEGID AGAINST MERIDEN Protested Ga{me of Last Monday {o Be Played Over he dircctors of the Kaceys State league at u meeting held yesterday at Hartford, voted that the protest of the New Britain Kaceys against the vic- tory registered by the Meriden Kaceys last Monduy be allowed, As a cons quence, the game will be played over again on a date to be decided by the managers of the teams, The protest was based on the fact that Meriden used three outside players, in: ad of two as permitted by the league rules, There was no denial that the rule was violated, Meriden Benefited. The Meriden team was granted per- mission to use the three players in question hereatter, viz. Hartford, Coyle and Gill. They will appear in the lineup with the Silver City team at the Arch street armory next Sat- urday night. Manager Larry Mangan said today that he is making arrangements to strengthen the locals, but his plans are not in readiness for public announce- ment as yet. Ruling Helps Locals. The league statistic: compiled by I'rank Lynch, secret show Johnny Sheehan of the loc to be the lead- ing scorer of the league. Taking out the credited loss to New Britain, the standing of the teams show the locals to be holding the league lead by a fair margin over Hartford. Man- chester, who trimmed the locals here Saturday night, is making a great bid for first place, and there are many local 1s who opine that the Silk Town quintet has a/ fine chance of copping the flag, if the present gait is maintained.
