PHER’'S TEAM HERE SATURDAY NIGHT — OPINIONS DIFFER AMONG BASEBALL MEN, REGARDING “CONTINENTAL” LEAGUE—WITH THE BOWLERS IWLEAN AND STAFF _[PASSKC Hich St WYSTERY ABOUT THE NEW LEAGUE RUKOR Proposed Circuit Develops Diver- New York, 1Meb 15.~Naseball’s ehief topie of discussion—the propos- ed coentinental and interallied leagne repited to he in process of organiza- tion In elght Eastern cities of the Unitéd Btates and Canada and to have major league approval, if not actual backing-—developed a diverst of opinion in diamond circles he and throughout the country An air of mystery was about the actual organizers project nd & majority of baseball men, particularly in the face of de- nials issued by high officials of the game, were skeptical in their views of a rew league's sibility, One or two signitieant developments on the other hand, lent some further color to the proposition. Chief among these developments was an informal conference held by John A. Heydler, president of the Na- tional league, with most of th lub owners of the senior circuit, who re- mained in the city after Tuesday's schedule meeting Hey r Keeps Mam Mr. Heydler declined to divalge details of the meeting, but it was said that Barney Dreyfuss, president of the Pittsburgh club, disclosed the fact that he had been _approached hy sponsors for the new league and a ed to join Montreal int sts in ba ing a franchise In that city. That similar interest also had made overtures to club owners in Wash- ington and Brooklyn, two other cities mentioned as of the new cirenit, also was indicated but their identity remained unknown, Charles H. Ebbets, Brooklyn presi- dent, was known not to be opposed to permitting the use of his park by a new league club, providing the Na- tional League schedule, which gives his club 19 Sunday home dates during the summer, was not interfered with. Clark Griffith, Washington magnate, also was quoted as leaning favorably toward the project. Col. T. L. Huston, part owner of the New York Yankees, expressed general approval of plans for a new league which would afford an outlet for major league material, but other- wise there was little official com- ment. The majoricy of club owners declined flatly to express their views. Barrow Also Reticent Edward G. Barrow, business mana- ger of the Yankees, who admitted Tuesday night that he had been offer- ed the presidency of the new circuit would not comment on it today nor indicate whether he would accept such an office. Meanwhile, it was pointed out that as originally outlined last night, league organizers would encounter practically insurmountahle obstacles should an attempt be made to invade International League territory, unless an avowed intention of warring on the latter organization—as a result of the present draft controversy, was made. Officials, however, generally were understood to hold the view that there was no necessity of drastic ac- tion against the big major circuits which opposed the draft, although recognizing that an important issue exists, of which no solution- is in sight. 2 As revealed last night from appar- ently authoritative sources, it was planned to put clubs in the new cir- cuit in Montreal, Washington, Brook- lyn, Providence, Toronto, Baltimore, Buffalo and Newark.

State College, Pa., Feb. 15.—Break- ing the ice to take a plunge in frigid water in a near-by_pond may not be concidered the moft comfortable bit of training routine for the average college wrestler, but it forms part of the ordeal which K.

He was ineligible last year but his work this season has been sensational, and Detar is convinced that the Japanese will be a steady winner for Penn State. “RUTH HITS A HOMER Ball Bleachers at Yankees New Stadium Lambino Slams the Into the —Off to Hot Springs Today. New York, Feb. 15 -— Babe Ruth sent New York fans a Valentine yes. terday. Ankie deep in snow, he stood at home plate in the new Yankee sta- dium, at 161st street, and smashed a ball into right field bleachers, The big hitter was aided by “soft” pitching, but handicapped by patént leather shoes, a soft collar and slip- pery footing. On the fourth pitch he put over his famous wallop and a soaring fly landed well ‘back in the bleachers. It was the coldest home run in his- tory. A former colicge pitcher, now a reporter, threw the ball. There was 10 cheering, The Babe just wanted to see if it Could be done. Today he Icaves for Hot Springs to begin train- irg in hope of breaking his home run record of 59, made in 1921. CHANCE FOR TUNNEY Former Holder of Light Heavyweight Championship Will Meet Harry Greb at Newark, on Feb, 23. New York, Feb. 15.—The much de- luyed return bout between Harry Greb and Gene Tunney for the light heavyweight championship of Ameri will be held in Madison Square 3arden one week from tonight. The tiit had been arranged for Dec. 24, but the iliness of the cham- nion's wife caused a postponement rom time to time. Despite the fact that Billy Gibson s now the big boss of the Tunney amp, Doc Bagley, Tunney's former nanager, will share in Tunney's earn- ngs for this particular bout. When 'unney decided to sever ties with iagiey he stipulated that inasmuch as ‘iagley had arranged the return bout vith Greb, he was to draw down his piece. Therefore, Bagley will be the lominating spirit in the Tunney cor- ner on that all eventful night in the soungster's career. Tunney always has malntained that ihe would whip Greb if the opportu- iity to box him again ever presented itself. This much is certain. The *hampion certainly roughed up the former “devildog.” 1In the first round of the bout in which Tunney lost the titie to Greb, Pittsburgh Harry but- ted, elbowed and otherwise trested Tunney to a demonstration of the manly art at its roughest.
