Hockey Week; Arena Ready Season; Loss of Jack Adams Will Be Big Blow to Get Under Way Tomorrow Night; Other News and 13 at Vancouver, The team will be practically the same tha the last several years, as there isn’t much beating out the veterans on the Met payroll. Wednesday. Most of the fellows are on har thru light skating workouts before then. From present indications the Mets will changes. Bernie Morris is expected to sta ston at center, Jack Walker at left wing, R the defense and Hap Holmes in tho nets. Briden has had the misfortune for utility. Centre Colonels Lost Chance for Big Record wy Centre college fell before Harvard in the third meeting between the two teams, the lit- tle southern institution lost a chance to create a record that no team has ever been able to accomplish—beat two consecutive years on its own field. In 1921 Centre surprised the football world by de- feating Harvard 6 to 0. Centre, with a veteran team, was given a good chance to repeat in 1922. The team, however, lacked Bo McMillan, who had scored the win- ning touchdown in 1921. Yale, Pennsylvania and Princeton are the only teams to beat Harvard twice or more running, but none of the three has visited the Crimson field two years in suc- cession, each of the series between the teams alternat- ing between the two fields. Centre, on the other hand, has played at the Harvard stadium for three consecutive years. In a way Centre has performed the rather unusual feat of scoring on Harvard each year and thru the medium of crossing the Crimson goal line.

A INTERESTING tale of a fiveclub deal by which John McGraw’s lants ultimately would land Eddie Roush for their outfield has been nailed, temporarily at least, by denial from W. C. Smith, owner of the [Indianapolis club. This story ran something like this: Indianapolis got Kirke from Louisville in a trade, sending Tex Coving- jton to the Colonels in exchange for the hard-hitting Jay, Next, the New York club was to take Kirke from Indianapolis and put him in Baltimore, jas part payment for Jack Bentley, Then John McGraw, having acquired | Bentley by sntifying Jack Dunn with Kirke and cash, would hand Bent ley over to Cincinnati.

Detroit Outfielder Has Trained Off 240 Pounds OB FOTHERGILL, the rotund outfielder, who joined the Detroit team following the injury to Harry Heilman, has probably trained off more pounds than any other ball player ever did in the same length of time. Bob's top weight, in mid-winter has never gone above 240 pounds. He used to be a football player and he encouraged his weight to multiply, for he sure was a human battering ram when playing with professional teams around Massilon, O. : When Bob began to play professional ball, however, he discovered that the beef he needed for football was a handicap to him in baseball and he had to train down. He has been in professional ball eight years, and each ers are to pay for the Oriole ball training fields. To do this, season after season, proves that heroic trainer, for it takes a pile of nerve to job of reducing 30 pounds or more each an athlete is willing to do this proves that he enthusiasm that is necessary to make him player. Despite his physical handicap this player is prisingly fast.
