Keonan his unconditional release, and
thus for he has not been signed. It Is
understood that both the Trenton nnd

Ed Ferat will manage the Camden tcam
this year. Ho was signed as a playing
manager and will wear a Camden uni
form, but his duties will bo solely in tho
capacity of a coach. Henry, who man
aged the team last year, was expelled
from the league because of some indis
creet remarks which he Is alleged to havo
made regarding tho "llxing" of the raco.
Trenton will bo without the services of
Jimmy Kane nnd probably Fred Qelg.
Kane, who was the leading scorer of the
Eastern League last season, will manage
the Scranton team, of tho Western Penn
sylvania League. It Is rumored that Oclg
has retired from basketball and will not
play with any team.
Geig has played In the league only dur
ing tho last two years, but he was a very
valuable man to Trenton throughout his
short career. In 1913 Gelg was captain
nnd fullback of the Swarthmore football
team and was regarded, as one of the
best plungers in America. He also played
a great game at guard on the Garnet
basketball team. It was his sensational
work against tho Pcnn five that first at
tracted tho attention of Eastern Leaguo
moguls. As Boon as Gelg was graduated
from Swarthmore he was signed by Tren
ton and played with that Ave during tho
seasons of 1913-14 and 1914-15.
Reading and Camden will stand pat on
their players of laBt season. As these
teams led the league, there Is no reason
to think that they will not again bo In
the hunt for tho Eastern League cham
pionship. Tho Philadelphia Boys' Club has or
ganized and will conduct for theseason of
1915-16 several basketball leagues for
younger players. Last year tho Philadel
phia Junior League and the Philadelphia
Midget League, under the auspices of tho

cessful seasons, and the management Is
confident, of even better results this year,.

TEAM IS FACING
THE REAL CRISIS
1 i I,,
Penn Eleven Now at the
"Make-or-Break" Stage
of Development
BERRY'S GREAT WORK
By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL
Pennsylvania's football team will bo
made or broken within tho next two
weeks, night now It ls on tho ragged
edge, where tho turn of the hand may
mean success or failure. To be a success
docs not mean that tho team must beat
Pittsburgh, nor will a defeat by Pitta
burgh necessarily spell falluro for the
November games.
Itlght now tho Quakers are suffering
with the difficulties of an October schedule
which no eleven ot their inexperience
should over have been called upon to play.
Had it been possible to hold preliminary
practice last spring the coaches would
now be having a much easier time. As It
ls, they have been compelled to try out a
green team against opponents more ex
perienced and further developed physical
ly. How the team comes through the
critical period, of the next two weeks will
depend upon the fighting spirit of the
players and the farsightedness of the
coaches. Difficulties as serious as now
confront them have been met and over
come successfully In the past The present
situation would not have terrified tho
team of 1C02, led by Will Gardiner, nor the
team of 1908, led by E. L. Greene.
On the surfaco of things the Quakers
did not give their coaches or followers
much hope by their performance against
the Navy on Saturday. The Middles, who
had been beaten by Georgetown 8-0 and by
Pittsburgh 47-12, held Pennsylvania to a
7-7 score, and the. Bed and Blue was for-'
tunato not to have been beaten. At the
same time, there ls no question that Penn
sylvania had a team of much greater pos
sibilities than the Navy. The mistakes
it made were, many and critical. More
alertness by Grant' and ability to tackle
would hav prevented the only touchdown
the Navy made. The Middles were for
tunate to score first That touchdown by
Martin on Grant's Intercepted forward
pass transformed tho Navy eleven and al
most demoralized tho Quakers.
There is no question that Howard
Berry's return to quarterback In the sec
ond half saved Pennsylvania from a de
feat Kven under his leadership the
Quakers played raggedly; but Berry's
presence and his accuracy In handling the
ball dispelled the lack of confidence the
players had in each other whllo Grant
was running the team. Pennsylvania
should hav$ scored at least one moro
touchdown In the second half.
Berry's long return of a punt for 70
yards would havo been a touchdown on
a dry -field. It looked as though a mis
take in Judgment was made when later
In the game the teams had the ball in
side the Navy's 20-yard line and a goal
from field would have won the game.
Instead a forward pass was tried Just as
in the Pcnn State game a week ago.
It failed, and the last opportunity for a
scoro was lost A touchdown would have
put the gamo on Ice; but the safety-first
rulo, which ls usually good football,
ought to havo suggested the drop-kick.
The forward passes which both sides
tried were pretty much of tho hlt-or-mlss
sort The majority ot those that
faded went wrong because the end failed
to be at the right spot

HOCKEY NOW RAGE
AMONG THE YOUNG
WOMEN ATHLETES
Philadelphia Cricket Club Has
Well Balanced Team in the
First Division of the
Interclub League
With tho closo of tho golf and tennis
season milady's activity In the field of
sport from now until the arrival of tho
ten dansant nnd fox trot season ls con
fined to hockey.
Tho first gam oa in the Women's Inter
club Hockey Leaguo were played last
week, the champion Philadelphia Cricket
Club eleven defeating Merlon nnd Had
donfleld, and Germantown splitting even
with Lunsdowne, and Merlon winning
from Lansdowne ut Mcnhelm nnd losing
to Merlon at Haverford. As these two
teams were the chief contenders for
championship honors last year, Philadel
phia has obtained n good start toward re
taining Its title.
Tho schedule calls for 25 games, the sea
son closing on November 20, when All
Phlladelphln, plays Bryn Mawr College.
Last year Bryn Mawr held the pick of
tho Intorclub Leaguo to a draw, whereas
In previous years the Main Line team
usually went down tq, defeat. It Is quite
likely that an All-Baltimore tcam will
play a fev games here after that date,
and ns Rosemary liall made a very good
showing against All-Philadelphia In a
post-season game last year the Connecti
cut girls may also return.
Tho second division season opens tomor
row, and as usual there aro six teams in
the field. Tho present tltleholder ls Hnd
donfleld, nnd tho other teams aro Phila
delphia, Merlon, Germantown, Lansdowne
and Rlverton. First division games aro
played on Monday and Thursday, nnd
second division on Tuesday and Friday.
The team representing the Philadelphia
Cricket Club in tho first division is an
unusually well balanced one, and on
form seems to havo a slight edge on tho
rest of the clubs.
One reason for tho sucess of tho St.
Martin's girls is that moro Interest Is
taken in tho game thero than at tho
other clubs.
From the opening game until the last
tho llne-up of the Cricket Club tcam re
mains virtually tho same, as all tho
players nre proud to bo selected.
It might bo mentioned In passing that
Miss Dorothy Dlsston, who Is tho leader
in hockey affairs at Philadelphia, shows
unusually fine judgment in selecting her
team, and through the season very few
changes are necessary.
Almost every afternoon during tho fall
a game ot some kind la In progress at
St Martin's. Most of the time it ls the
first team practicing against a team of
about 15 younger girls, and most of these
younger girls still aro In Bhort dresses.
While wearing short dresses Is the time
to start playing any game, golf, tennis,
or hockey.
When Moore and Lewis cope for
fistic supremacy here tonight it
will be their second set-to in a
Philadelphia ring, Tho English

ARMY DEFEAT
ONLY SURPRISE
ON SATURDAY
Colgate Scores Victory
Over West Point Yale
Also Victorious
PRINCETON'S GOOD TEAM
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
There have been a few surprises In the
football world this fall, but none can com
pare with tho upset at West Point Satur
day, when Colgate triumphed over tho
Army team by tho score of 13 to 0. Until
this gnme tho Cadets showed a football
team that promised to bo one of the
strongest In tho East "With many vet
erans In tho llno-up nnd a good foundation
built on open football, tho future generals
looked llko sure winners, but Saturday's
upset puts them with Yale, Pcnn and tho
Xavy.
The game demonstrated that a stronger
Army ls needed on tho West Point grid
Iron. Colgate's victory was no fluke, for
It presented an eleven with a powerful at
tack, nnd this attack became stronger
when within striking dlstanco of the goal
llnr-. The game showed that tho Army
must develop a stronger defense beforo
the bnttle with the Navy.
Virginia gave Harvard n hard tussle,
but failed to bhow anything startling. The
Crimson was prepared for a strenuous
nfternoon and played safe from tho start.
Whon within scoring distance Harvard
'took no chances on rushing tho ball, and
depended on Captain Mahan's toe for the
scores. He dropped three across the bar
from the field and performed exactly as a
Harvard captain should, especially ono
who follows the famous Brlckley.
There ls no doubt but that Virginia
has a powerful team, but the strength
was Bhown chiefly on the defense. Their
attack was good, but agalnBt tho Crim
son linesmen It could make only little
progress. Thurman. who Bcored against
Yule .on a dr6p kick and whoso punting
was largely responsible for tho victory
of tho Southerners tw.o weeks ago, could
do little against Haughton's players, Two
drop-kicks were attempted, but both went
wide of tho mark. His punting, however,
was good.
As this was tho first real test Har
vard haB had this year,' three Important
thlngB were brought out. First, Mahan Is
one of the best drop-kickers in the East
and Is a worthy successor of Charles
Brlckley; secondly, Hnrvnrd has a good
defense, and thirdly, tho generalship on
tho Harvard team Is of the highest
order.
Yalo walloped Springfield Training
School, but It was not tho "soft"
gnme that was expected. The visi
tors played a good game and should
have scored In. the first period after Yalo
had registered ono touchdown. Io Gore
tried a drop-kick from the 42-yard lino,
but the ball was blocked nnd a Spring
Acid man scooped It up. Ho had a clear
field beforo him and ran SO yards across
tho goal lino. Just as ho crossed the
line, however, tho Springfield man was
tackled hard nnd ho dropped the ball. A
Yalo man fell on It, and only a touchback
resulted. It was a sad ending of a spec
tacular play.
But the real feature of tho game was
the absence of lateral passing In the Ells'
attack. Not once did they use this spec
tacular play, but depended upon a run
ning attack which seemed to possess
much power. It may not be fair to as
sume that Hlnkey Is ready to throw his
principal offensive weapon of last year
into the discard, but Saturday's demon
stration points the way to a more re
stricted use. It la probable that the old
fashioned and conservative methods of
lino bucks, skin tackle plays and end runs
will be used considerably In the remain
ing games.
Unless something unforeseen happens,
Princeton will wlpo out a couple of the
defeats administered by Yalo and Harvard
when the annual battles nre fought next
month. On early season form the Tigers
have tho strongest team of the "Big
Threo" whatever that ls and Speed Rush
ls improving his men every week.
In the Rutgers and Syracuse games,
Princeton sprang surprises by winning
nnd holding the heavy teams scoreless.
Saturday, playing against a different
team, a team using an open attack re
plete with forward passes and trick
plays, the Tigers scored an easy victory,
showing that they were ready to meet
all comers. I.afnyetto played a good
game, but Willie Crowoll'a team was no
match for tho speedy Junglers. Few first
downs wero made, and the only score
camo In the last period, when a flock of
substitutes were. In the game.
Hnwever, it is no disgrace to be trimmed

This atory made the wires sing, but It
will no doubt bo a, help to chairmen of
greens committees who may be called on
to solve a similar problem some day.
Last week, according to the story, ono
of the new golf clubs In Southern Cali
fornia was all agog. No doubt It would
still bo begoged but for tho canny wits
of tho Scotch pro there, who put an end
to the gogs.
The reason the club was all agog was
that a wild ostrich had taken a fancy to
tho links ns a grazing pasture, and its
favorite Bweetmeat was fjolf balls. It
had an annoying habit of Jumping a
fence, gnlloplng across the falrwny and
scooping up a low brnssle shot on the fly.
It would swallow the ball and pace Into
the gloaming with a great "quack,
quack," ns tho frantic players tried In
vain to catch It. It would bounce Into
the midst of a friendly putting bee, peck
peck, cluck-cluck, nnd then wnddle oft
with tho balls standing out in Its neck
like a long attack of the mumps.
If a player attempted revenge by lay
ing his nlbllc against the bird's ribs. It
would simply grunt nnd float airily away.
Members were for killing the bird with
a cannon or something, but the links
were always so crowded that the com
mittee feared nn accident Finally George
Keffcr, Scotch-Canadian pro of the club,
asked to try his hand. He wovo a net
work of ropes through the tree which
surrounded the ISth green. Ho then laid
out a trail of golf balls leading to the
hole. lie took no chances of losing tho
balls, by providing floaters and coating
the sides with rosin, so they could not
be swallowed.
To make doubly sure he tied a lariro
cork to the first ball. Soon the bird1
ambled up, sniffing, sniffing. With a
glad cry, it loped up and seized the first
golf boll. It slipped down, but the coilt
stopped up tho bird's neck. Greedily it
gobbled up all the rest Just then tho
pro and his assistants set up a shout
and tho bird, seeing It was surrounded,
attempted to escape notice by hiding its
head in tho hole. This movo sprang a
trap which seized the ostrich firmly by
tho ears and held Its head captive. With
Its neck inverted, tho golf balls therein
naturally ran out again. A halter wai
placed nround the bird's neck nnd It was
led away to a cage. Any ono who does
not believe this story can go to Califor
nia and sec the wild ostrich himself.
R. C. James, of Merlon, claims it is not
a hard matter to compile a good golf
FAST HORSES CARDED
TO MEET WEDNESDAY
Belmont Park to Be Scene of
Race Between R. H. Brett
and Peter Stevens
The closing dates of the light harness
racing game in this city nnd vicinity are
not far off. Amateur relnsmen will con
tinue to speed their trotters nnd pacers
until cold weather intervenes. A fitting
card Just at a time when nothing sensa-
tlonal Is being run off in these parts Is
going to noia the boards on Wednesday
nf tho Belmont Driving Park, Narberth.
Senator James P. McNIchol will forget
his municipal troubles and concentrate
his mind on a big match race, in which
his fast pacer. It. H. Brett, 2:03Vi, will
figuro with the well-known sldowhecler,
Peter Stevens, 2:02V. Tho race Is for
(1500 a side.
Tho event Is supposed to bo the biggest
thing in racing circles In 'years, and Pro
moter Al Saundera expects to see at the
trnck on Wednesday one of tho biggest
crowds of a decade. ' What makes this
contest such a puller ls tho fact that
there Is quite somo rivalry existing be
tween tho owners as to tho relative speed
of their horses.
It Is reported that Guy Nella, the fast
trotting mare of William MarklcB' stable
at Narberth. has been sold. The mare
must have brought in the neighborhood ot
$2300, for that ls the price Markle placed

Tho third of the big October golf Satur
days has passed with one of the largest
throng of players flooding the links that
has turned up all month for tho half
holiday round. To add a still greater
degree of Are to the last days of tho
season, there were a few tournaments
arranged. The best attended was the.
ono at Huntingdon Valley, where there
was handicap play for threo classes. A,
B and C. Golf balls wero the prizes, and
It was handicap not play. Some very
good scores were turned In, a the course
is In exceptionally good condition for this
time of the year.
Almost all tho fcmlnme golfing member
ship of Huntingdon Valley turned out to
day for tho 18 holes of medal play in
tho tournament at Huntingdon Valley,
under direction of .Mrs. D. B. Wentz,
who has stimulated Interest in the event
by offering very handsome prizes. There
Is gtcat Interest In golf among the fair
sex nt Huntingdon Valley. The game
claims new recruits nearly every day.
Two players were engaged In a bitter
argument last week over the respective
virtues of the long but crooked shot aa
opposed to the short but straight shot
The argument finally ended in a draw.
It has been demonstrated time and
again that the player who has no con
trol over his long shots, but can bring
his shots home out of the rough or
other out-of-the-way places, will likely
land the green about one Bhot ahead of
tho short player, which ls a shot on tho
right side of the ledger. On the other
hand, the shorter-but-strnlghter player
generally hns a better shot for tho flag
and Is likely to be dead, so that one
putt is a ceitalnty, whereas his opponent
will likely need two, or even three. In
this free country of ours.
