WIN THEIR BOUTS MEET T0 DISCUSS NEW COURTLEAGUE Baskethall Managers Plan Round Table Conference Next Week Bavaral basketball managers throughout the state are planning to eat next weak to discuss the pros- pects of a state baskethall league next year. The matter has been dis- cuesed informally and it has been fornd that a number of managers are in favor of the idea. Manager Clarence Lanpher of the National Guards, who 8 one of the prime movers in the formation of a leagus, stated yesterday that he has had a n ing t mber of inquirles concern- project and that the lead- in the state aro anxious to | become members of the loop. For this reason, he is planning to get in {touch with the other maragers and set a date for a meeting at which the details of the propos:1 loop will be worked out. One of the main reasons for the on of this league °s that there > system of play whe: by the champion of the state can be decided at the end of the playing season. At the present time, fon is being decided by ss of elimination and as this always work out so that a apion can rightfully te decided, | league play would leave no doubt as |to how the teams stood. Another is the stimulation of in- sr-city rivalry to the pitsh at which was several years ago. In some of cities, basketball hasn't enjoyed popularity that it did in years by, but with the teams entered league, it is thought prob- that interest in ths sport will lin a sta | able ready is formed.

Yet for two ssasons, Ernie John- | 1 kept his job with the New York | Yankees, while they were winning| pennants, largely by his ability to step up to the plate and come through in the pinch.

That season, in 15 times at bat as | pin <on came through | with . among them | being triples and home runs, The following year, although didn’t perform quite as efficiently, | he came through with four hits in his first ten trips and then went| into a stump. So that In 25 consecutive appear- ances as pinch-hitter, running 0\‘»1-‘ one full season and part of another, | Johnson made 16 hits in 25 times at | bat. .
