PROBE TO BE MADE
OF CAGE CHARGES
If Eastern League Teams
"Pulled," President Says
Squads Will Be Punished.
Charges' made at the recent nicotine
of tho moguls of the Eastern Baskotball
League that hlppodromlng In tho 1914-15
championship race was known, should bo
investigated by the ofllcials, and If any
"pulling" on tho pnrt of tho teams Is
discovered dra&tic steps should bo taken
to correct tho evil. President William
J. Schcffcr, of tho league, stated last
night that tho offenders will be sum
marily punished.
Here is what President Schofter said:
"If all the ehargen can be proven, every
man found guilty tvlll bo forever disqualified
from th league. I Intend to probo this arfalr
thoroughly nnd will Insist that the Kastern
League emcrgo from this nasty mess with
clean hands. If they do not. then I will sever
my connection with the league. All past East
ern Lenguo races have Dcen conducted ln a
fair and sportsmanlike manner, nnd never was
there n hint of a scandat nor any Intimation
ever mado of uny wrong.
"I am backed up by tho following rule, sec
tion 20 of the bylaws and constitution, which
says:
" 'Any person who shall be proven guilty of
offering, agreeing, conspiring or attempting to
came any game of basketball to result other
wise than on Its merits under the playing
rules shall bo forever disqualified by the pres
ident of the league from acting as referee,
nvuiager. player or In any other capacity In
nnv game or banketball participated In by a
league club, unless such disqualification shall
be removed by a three-fourths voio of tho
leapuc.
"Now, In regnrd to why I did not officially
ncciaro too imru game neiween Jteaamg and
C'imden forfeited to the lattet club, I did not
recelvo nny official notification from tho Tlpnrt
Inrr Club where tho game was tn hn nlnvMri
Had I forfeited the gamo to Camden the Bead
ing Club could have asked mo who had given
me notice from tho ltpnrilnor f'ltih Ihnt thiv
had agreed to everything which Camden had
dono pertaining to tho game, f would havo
had to answer no one. In this case I con
cluded that I did not havo the authority to
forfeit the came."

Go, paint your own fond picture
Of what waits Just ahead;

CLEARWATER WINNER
OVER W. F. DE LANGH
Former Billiard Champion in
Match at Germantown Has
125 to 62 Score.
Distinctly displaying his best form, Wil
liam Clearwater, former pocket billiard
champion, last night won the flrst block
of his match from "William F. De I.angh
at the Germantown Academy, 12S to 62.
Time and again Clearwater stirred the big
crowd by some wonderful shots, but when
tn his high run of 30 he made a five-cushion
bank shot around the bunch for a
corner pocket combination he was given
an ovation. De Laugh was somewhat
handicapped by playing with unfamiliar
ivories, which were a trifle too speedy,
although he played good billiards when
ever given a chance at the table.
In the flrst game or the triple tie in ths
pocket billiard tournament at Boyle's Alle
gheny Parlors. Kensington and Allegheny
avenues, last night, James Wartman played In
ixtraordlnary form, and In seven frames won
from J. Freeman by the lopsided score of 75
to 12. Everything that Wartman attempted,
whether kiss, cut or combination shot, ha
mado with consummate ease. Ha started out
by running 28 balls, made .11 In the fourth,
fifth aad sixth frames, and left little for his
adversary to do but sit and watch the points
mount up Tonight Wartman will tackle
l.ctlne Moore.
