NORWICH BULLETIN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1922 BATTERY B WINS BASKETBALL AND INDOOR BASEBALL GAME AT ARMORY Battery B's,athletes made a clean sweep of the evening of sports held at the state armory on Monday eve- ning winning from Battery A bas- ketball team of New London by a score of 34 to 18 and then winning the \sec- ond game of the series from the Nug- gets 13 to 12. : The basketball game was held im- mediately after the weekly drill and the Battery B boys were given a tough battle by the Whalers, and it was not until the second half that the local boys forged into the lead. Harry Mills was the shining light of ,the battery team caging seven baskets and drop- jping in six fouls. Boyle for the New |London soldiers shot six pretty bas- kets while Moriarty got two field bas- kets and two fouls. Coleman scored two baskets being the only other play- wer_to score. The New London team piayed a fast game and had it not been for Mills would have easily won from the local battery. The fouls called on the Whal- ers were many but the referee over- looked many of the fouls made by the local team. The lineups: Battery B Battery A Left Forward" 7, Coleman 2, Mills’ 6, Moriarty Indoor Baseball Game In the baseball game the Battery ‘team evened up the series with the Nuggets, the latter team having. taken ithe first game of the series several ‘weeks ago. The game was hard fought from start to finish and it was only when Big Chief Madden weakened in the fourth inning that the Battery boys went into’ the lead. This was a disastrous inning for the Nuggets for the soldiers saored 7 runs in this frame. Murphy, not a member of the Ol Erin five of Taftville, went into the box for the remiainder of the game and held the soldiers to four rums, receiving wonderful support from Keith at third base and Big Ed H.ur-l ris at short. It was not until the last half of the ninth inning that the bat- tery men were able to win when they ‘hit Murphy hard. The battery got away to a good start fin the first frame by scoring one run and letting the Nuggets down with a zero. In the second inning the Nug- gets scored 4 runs and held the sol- diers to nothing. In the third they Bcored another and the battery boys also drove ome across. ‘With the score § to 2 in favor of the Nuggets somebody threw a monkey /wrench into the works and Madden hit ‘the ceiling. When he came to earth wfter passing three men and forcing in two runs the soldiers were well out in front with a four run lead. The Nuggets went scoreless in the fifth dnning as did the soldiers. In the sixth 4inning the Nuggets boosted their to- tal up to seven runs and held the sol- diers on three pitched balls. Again in the eighth inning they tallied three runs bringing them into the lead by one. The soldiers made a desperate stand and scored three runs putting them into the lead again. The ninth inning had wonderful pos- sibilities which Umpire Murphy, one of the Sons of Erin five, spoiled by one of his habitual errors of judgment when he called Midget Warwick out on a ball about three feet over his bead. The Nuggets had scored two rans and with three men on and two down Murphy pulled his boner. With the score tied the soldiers started -a rally with one down which netted them one run and a victory in as pretty a game as played dt"the armory in many seasons. ~ The outcome might have been dif- ferent had Umpire Murphy worn his glasses and used his head for some- thing other than a hat-rack. Outside of that he umpired a real fine game. Battery B—Adams, c; Wilson, p; Mills, 1b; Coleman, 2b; Lemieux, $b; Breault, ss; Burelle, If; Lewis, rf.

WINCENT RICHARDS SIX-DAY BIKE “BUG" Vincent Richards, national doubles lawn tennis champion and Davis cup player, has qualified among the “first ten” six-day bike race bugs of the country. With a bit more experience young Richards should become a dan- gerous contender for the title. - - weekly urges conthmrity and science in Wale football affairs. The editorial says: “A defeated coach must go, not Dbecause he is not the man for the place, but because he was beaten. But a study of the Yale football situation @isclosds more of a problem than that, important as that detail is. The trouy ble lies deeper than individuals and is essentially the lack of a winning system, and by that we mean a year to year working combination of cap- tain, team, head coach with a strat- egic and advisory staff of ‘older pliyers. This was the old system that ‘wonigames for Yale. “The captain had the responsibility and authority, byt deferred to his head coach, generally' the previous years captain, who in turn deferred to the judgment of the advisory head coach, Walter Camp, who worked out the season’s policy with a small group of former players. There was continuity to this system. Each team fell into line behind its predeeessors and had the advantage of stored up football ex- perience. A single head or field coach with assistants, was not the whole machinery. In addition there was first class tactical brains at the top. “There are other factors, of course, in Yale’s problem, the modern game began about 1910, and Yale has not until this year, readjusted itself to the new conditions. At Harvard opur own methods were adopted. But the real trouble lies in the casting off of a tried and successful 'system, and in our opinion, until we return to the essen- tials of it, Yale football is due to have more disappointing years.” INTERNATIONAL ADOPTS 168 GAME SCHEDULE New York, Dec. 11—(By the A. P) —Adoption of a 168-game schedule fo 1923, with the season opening April 18, and closing September 23, consti- tuted the chief business transacted today at the opehing of the Interna- tional league's annual meeting. It was understood this schedule was adopted after clubs in the southern half of the circuit had advocated shortening the season to 154 games. The past sea- son was on a 168-game basis. The club-owne#s appointed a sched- ule committee, which will meet in February to frame schedule details. In declaring the draft a dead issue so far as the International league was concerned, John Conway Toole, pres- ident of the league revealed that sev- eral other minor 'leagues planned to seek exemption from the selective law which in addition to the Internation- al, is not recognized by the Ameri- | can association, Pacific Coast, West- ern or Three Eye leagues. He men- tioned the Eastern league and South- ern association, both--class “A” cir- cuits, as among the lefiders in the new “insurgent” move. ‘While the present seven-year agree- ment between the majors and minors signed January 12, 1921, apparently binds for- the life of the pact all lea- gues that accepted the draft at that time, President Toole expressed it as his unofficial opinion that a loophele existed for further exemptions. The terms of the agreement pro- vided that any league not desiring to accept the draft should serve not- ice to Commissioner Landis on or be- for February 15, 1921, in default of which notice they would be regarded as having accepted the principle. The date of notification, however, from thg major league viewpoint a year ago, Mr. Toole said, was considered Lo mean February 15, of any year during the agreement's existence. Such an inter- pretation, he added, would give a mi- nor league now bound by the diaft the privilege of withdrawing from it at any time. No changes in the international cir- cuit or organization were discussed according to President Toole. SECOND SIKI-CARPENTIER BOUT A CERTAINTY Paris, Dec. 11—A second Carpentier< Siki fight seems to be a certainty, ac- cording to Le Journal, which points out that President Rousseau of the i federation is inclined to be clement toward the Senegalese. “I will box Siki under any condi- tion at a date to be fixed upon my return to Paris this evening,” Car- pentier telegraphed Le Journal from Brighton, England, last night. “Please say that to beat Siki would be the greatest joy of my life, the telegram said. It added that Georges was to get the opinion of sur; ms as to the condition of his hands, which were injured in his bout with Siki. A report is current that Siki has disappeared but neither his friends nor the police seem unduly alarmed, The newspapers suggest that he has been ®pirited away from the clutches of in- terviewers. During the race of the Garden last week Richards was a frequent visi- tor, and besides being the most con- sistent “cheer leader” of the week was mlways ready with an extra burst of ivocal enthusiasm when a “jam” was progress. He has already provided It with all the bicycle manufac. Jturers' catalogues he can lay his [bands on and is now wrestling with the problem as to whether a 96 or a (M4 gear would best suit his pedal- pushing ability, There he goes ! PENN STATE PLAYED ; GRID GAME iN 1es1 According to J. J. McCreary, a civil engineer of WErie, Penn State mnd Buckneil did not play their first game of football in 1337, as was recenmtly snnounced, but did play the game sev- eral years before that date—at Lew- isburg, in November, 1881. Mr. and others made the trip to Lewisburg by wagon, starting on Friday afternoon and arriving late Saturday” forenoon in the rain. Penn Btate was the winner of that game by l'lm‘ :ot bT.hl;xn. says Mr. McCreary, the team was the first Pemn State ever had. YALE WEEKLY ASKS 3 FOR DRASTIC CHANGES Demand for drastic changes in the Fale football system are voted in the Yale Alumni Weekly, which points to the system headed by Walter Camp ‘which swept the gridiron for two de- cades. The weekly says that today some critics are like Greece, trying to behead every losing general. ‘While no condemnation whatever of Head Coach Tad Jones i% voiced, the U Siki appeared this morning to deny im porcon that he had committed suicide or that he had been thrown into the river, 29 had been widely reported, He avoided any explanation of the camse of his limp, which apparently a0 counted for reports that he had beem thrown !0 the Seine.

CHANGE SIGNS CONTRACT TO MANAGE ‘BOSTONRED SOX FOR 1923 SEASON New York, Dec. 11—«By the A. P.) —Frank Leroy Chance, former mana- ger of the Chicago Nationgks and the [ New York Americans, today signed a contract to manage the Boston Am- erican league clubs for 1923. Official announcement of the com- summation of the deal was made by H. H. Frazee, president of the Red Sox, from his New York office. Both Frazee and Chance refused to reveal details of the financial terms involv- ed. President Frazee, however, stated that Chance’s salary would compare favorably with thdse of the highest paid managers in baseball. The Boston owner also said that the engagement of Chance marked the first step in the recomstruction of the Red Sox. Every effort will be made to strengthen the team by trade and pur- chase in order to make it a factor in futare pennant races. Chance wilil have full authority and control in re- building the club and may appear in playing uniform on the coaching lines. He will not, however," engage in ac- tual play. Chance Keen For Job Chance expressed his keen pleas- ure upon re-entering major league baseball and stated that, having dis- posed of his real estate interests at Glendora, Calif., he expected to make his home in the east for the future. The signing of Chance by the Red Sox brings back to the national game one of the most popular and dynamic personalities the game ever has known. As first baseman and “peer- less leader” a decade and more ago of the famous Chicago Cubs—Nation- al league champions four times and world’s champions twice—Chance es- tablished a brilliant reputation not only as a player, but as a field gen- | erai and strategist. After fifteen years with the Cubs, eight of them as manager, Chance severed his Chicago connections in 1912 with the intention of retiring to his California orange grove, but was persuaded to take over the manager- ship of the New York Yankees un- der a three 'vear contract reputed to have called for an annual figure of $40,000. He piloted the team to sev- enth place in 1913, but in 1914, when the Yankees finished sixth, he resign- ed a month before the close of the season because of disagreement with owners over team policies and dis- satisfaction with the conduct of several star players. #; Chance’s interes§§ in the national game, however, has not waned since he left its active ranks and reports have been cusrrent at various times that he intended a ‘“come-back” as a major league manager. Frazee Strong for Frank Negotiations between Frpzee ar{l Chance were practically concluded during the last world’s series in New York. The Boston magnate, who pre- viously had known the former Cub pilot but casually, declared after a long conference that Chance was o the sanction of the Connecticut in- terscholastic athletic conference, which will formulate eligibility rules. The Yale committee plans to bring the three leading high school teams from each of the eight sections of the state to New Haven, where the champion- ship will be decided. YALE'S FOOTBALL SCHEDULE IS STILL UNCERTAIN “ With the selection of “Blonde Bill” Mallory as captain of the Yale foot- ball eleven for 1923 and the continu- ing of “Tad” Jonds as head coach the only thing necessary to keep the pot boiling at Yale is the announcement of the football schedule for 1923. There have been many wild conjectures as to the teams that will be on the sched- ule. ‘There ism't any question but that there will be several new teams en- gaged in competition in the Bowl, but who these .elevens are will not be def- initely known until Yale announces i%s schedule, which will be in a few days. It will consist of not less than seven games and not more than eight. Harvard, Princeton, Brown ard the Army will be on the schedule. Cen- tre College asked for a game, but whether Yale can find a place for Centre is a question. One thiing is certain—and that is the Yale sched- ule of 1923 will not be the “soft” one that some critics seem to think. Yale will be well fortified with high- class football material next fall from the team of the past season as be- sides Capt. Mallory, 18 other mem- bers of the team will be in college. They are: Bench, Deaver, Diller, Greene, Hulman, Joss, Lincoln, Love- jey, Luman, Miller, Pilisbury, Scott, Blair, Cutler, Landis, Norris Commas, ‘Wight, O’Hearn. Regulars lost include Capt. Jordan, Eddy, Cross, Chuick- shank and Herr. Then there will be the stars of the past season freshman team some other football players who have been ineligible, so all in all football prdspects for next season look ex- ceptionally bright. DRAFT QUESTION TO X GET FIRST ATTENTION New York, Dec. 11—The draft ques- tion that has been agitating baseball circles even since five of the largest minor leagues exercised =the option given them under the 1921 major-mi- nor agreement and,refused to grant the selective privilege, either to the majors or to minors of other classi- fication, may receive fresh attention this week when major and minor lea- gues hold meetings in this city. The majors supported in their views | Will meet Wesleyan September 29 at|from college last spring. by Commissioner K. M. Landis, de- sire to amend the present draft stat- utes, as embodied in the 1921 agree- ment, so that all minor leagues will be obligated by its provisions and given no choice in the matter. Unsuccessful of the-“most remarkable personalities) overtures were made a year ago by he had ever met” and that he believ- | the advisory council and since have ed him particularly qualified to re- organize the Red Sox and make the club a pennant contender again. ¢ Chance was born in Fresno, Calf., in 1877. He was catcher on the team at Washington college, Irvington, Cal, ip 1893-4-5, when he decided, against the wishes of his family to become a professional player, signing with a semi-prc club at Sullivan, Il at a salary of $40 monthly for his first venture. Later he returned to the coast and attracted the attention of major league scouts when playing in an el- imination championship tournament among coast teams. He received of- fers from Chicago, Baltimore and New York clubs and finally chose Chica- go, joiming the Cubs on the spring training trip in 1898 as a catcher. Chance played behind the bat and in the field in 42 games his first year and batted .288. His play improved steadily and in 1903 he was transfer- red to first base to give the team the benefit of his batting and base-run- ning regularly. 3 He batted .327 and led “the league in stolen bases that year, with 67. When Frank Selee was forced to retire because of ill health as maa- ager of the Cubs in 1905, Chance was appointed to succeed him and the fol- lowing year led the team to its first pennant since 182§, but lost the world's series to the Chicago White Sox, the “hitless wonders” of those days. \The Cubs repeated as pemnant win- ners in 1907 and 1908, winning world’s championships both year from Hugh Jennings’ Detroit club; finished sec- ond to Pittsburgh in 1909 and won their last league title under Chance in 1810. The Philadelphia Athletics trounced the Cubs in the world’s se- ries that year, marking the ascend- ency of Mack's great machine and the turning point in the supremacy of the Chicago club. Chance, popular among his players but an unflinching task master on the test of all time, included a num- of brilliant strategists as well as players. Notable among them was Johnny Evers, second ; Joe Tinker, Johnny 3 catcher. Fingered” Brown, Jack Pfeis- |- ter, Orval Overal and Ed Rueba were the pitching stars. Voluntown Rifle Club Voluntown Rifle Club had a fine shooting Saturday and™ at Kaufmann's been repeated in an effort to secure a new understanding with the five recal- citrant minors, who insist upon keep- ing in force the present law, which ‘was made effective for seven years, or until 1928. As an alternative solution of the situation, a number of major league clubs are known to favor an enlarged player limit, to afford a larger range of player selection. On the other hand several other minor leagues, now af- fected by the draft are believed ready to join the other “holdouts” and nulli- fy the selective privilege as far as they are concerned. Exemption from the draft, by “any league so desiring,” is specifically pro- vided under the terms agreed upon jointly by the majors and minors on January 12, 1921, At the same time a leagwe exercising such exemption automatically forfeits any right ¢ draft playens from other circuits. The five leagues that have tak this course are the American associ: - tion, International and Pacific Coast leagues, the only class “AA” circuits in the country; the Western league, class “A”, and the Three-Eye league class “B”.

BEING PRESIDENT CUTS INTO HARDING'S GOLF According to well-founded rumors floating about Washington, President Harding will be a first-class goifer when he leaves the White House. The Chief Executive who is an ardent en- thusiast, has not found the time of late, due to pressure of business, to | get out on the links. However, for his daily recreatiom the president, it is said, hag taken to driving balls into a net and to prac- ticing daily on his private court in the rear of the White House. Practice makes perfect and it so happeéns that the president has found that his game has improved considerably. DEMPSEY MAY BE MATCHED WITH WILLARD Los Angeles, Dec. 11—Negotiations for a match betweem Jack Dempsey, world’s heavyweight champion pugi- list, and Jess Willard, former title- holder, will take place here tomorrow when Ray Archer and Gene Doyle, repreésenting Willard, meet with Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager. It was forecast by Doyle that if the match was definitely arranged “it would be held in the east next May or June, or in any event before Demp- sey's prospective bout with Harry ‘Wills next Labor day.” UNUSUAL NUMBER OF RIFLEMEN AT YALE number of candidates for the Yale ri- fle team has resulted in the forma- tion of a second team which will ar- range a regular schedule of meets with other collegds, it was announced to- night.
