Doctor Uabhltt said:

muld do under those oliciimstnnceH, I
don't cross bridges until I come to them.
8o far we have not been asked to re

Among rcnnsylvanla men It Is believed
that there will be no objection to securing
Ihs release of Dr. Hcnnctt should he bo
chosen. , ,
At the conclusion of the second meet
tar Nell Mathews, captain of the team,
i.ft for his home in Chicago, to be gone
1 until after the holidays. ..,,.,
j The board of dliectors of tho Athletic
' Association, as well as the 1'ootball Com
I mittcc. assured Captain Mathews that he
1 could virtually have his own way In
picking a coach. Mathews was extremely
inxlous to have the selection of the coach
I determined upon before ho left on his
; Chrlstmns vacation. It i known that
l Mathcus had a conference with Doctor
Bennett, which leads tn the conclusion
that, although not ready for announce
' ment, tlyro Is complete agreement bc
1 tween the captain, the other members of
1 the committee and the man who la to be
i the grldlton tutor next full.
! Eleven Proposed
1 There were eleven names proposed by
i the Football Committee for this posl-
i tlon. as follows: Dr. M. S. Dennett, Dr.
' Carl S. Williams. Dr. C. M. Wharton.
, Dr. U O Torrey, Sol Mctzger. Frank
Sommer, A. H Zlogler, W. M. Hollcn
back. It. C. Folwell, ly Dickson and' J.
1 R. Macklin. Of this number It Is almost
certain that only live were seriously con-
ildered. Dr Dennett. Dr. Williams, Hol-
lenback, Folwell and Dickson.
Doctor Williams Is believed to have had
' the coaching position In his grasp If he
wanted It Hut Doctor Williams has such
a bis professional business that he has
refused a similar position several times
In the past. He left the city on a hunt
ing trip during the helRht of tho cam
paign for tho board of directors' elec
tion and Is not back et. This inakoi
It look as thought Williams has nlieady
told those In authority that ho would
Hot consider the position.
Two Eliminated
( Both Hollcnback nnd Folwell nre be
lieved to h.ivo been eliminated by tho
(Tote by which tho board of directors
picked Its Ponthnll Committee. Another j
uung wnicn it was thoiiRlit would mili
tate usalnst their selection was their
publicly announced agreement to stand
tosether, that If one was selected as
j coach he would Insist on the other for
his assistant. This arrangement was ad
.versely commented upon, even by tho
'Mends of the two men.
. Thli leaves of the live men previously
rmentlohed only Doctor Bennett and Hy
tDlckson. The latter has been nn assist
ant coach for the last two years and was
Doctor Williams' assistant In 1903, But,
hllt? the committee would say nothlnif
on the point, the Impression prevails that
In Tlew of tho dimcultles tho coachlns
.'aft had thin fall the new committee
-would rc outside the present stnff for a
coach.
t
Give Penn Plays
Doctor Bennett has always been In
Uwough sympathy with Doctor Wll
Urns1 ideas of coachlnu and has fre
quently been called In consultation. This
gar, for example, lie was called to
Whltemarsh lust before tho Cornell iramo
(and was tho only outsider permitted to
. an aetlvo part In tho coachlnx. As
matter of fact. Bennett was the man
lho gave the Quakers the sensational
Irtrward passes which scored on and al
jmoiit beat Cornell. It Is known that ho
ioaae a most favorable Impression on the
tenure team during tho few days ho was
Lt Whltemarsh.
ft. For the last two years Doctor Bennett
l?M been coach at Haverford College,
Hi lre he nas turned out splendid teams
IJKn very little material.

SWARTHMORE IS
FAVORITE FOR
SUBURBAN TITLE
Basketball Players Defeat
Lansdowno High
With Ease
OTHER SCHOOL N E W S
Seldom If ever have the suburban
schools taken so much Inteicst In basket
ball, mill the Increased activity In the
route came Is directly the result of the
fot motion of the Delaware County High
School Basketball I.cattue. A number of
games have alieady been played In thla
league, with Hunrthmoie High, Darby
High nnd Chester High looming up espe
cially strong.
Swarthmorc High School Is In line for
chnmplo'ishlp honors. The flarnets de
feated I,anidowne High School yesterday
afternoon, S3 to 15, 111 a well-played
game. Swarthmorc played a snappy con
test, with I'lnce. HannUm. W. Wood, LJ.
Wood nnd Ynrnnll on their toes every
minute of the time. As l.ansdowne High
has nhvavs held n high place In basket
ball, tho victory caused considerable Joy
nmong the Swarthmorc followers.
D.irbv High School will also have an
excellent chance to lift the title. The
Darby ntliletcn only yesterday gave an
other exhibition of their ability In tho
cage, when they held the strong South
ern High School tenm, of the High School
League, to a score of 2 to 21, It was
n narrow escnpe from defeat on tho part
of the local schoolboys.
Wcnerd, the (Jermantown Friends'
School star basketball player, was unable
to take pint In the gnme with llntlioro
High lit Queen l.anc esterday, but It Is
doubtful If his absence made much dif
ference In the llnnl icsutt. for llntlioro
won oy the overwhelming score of M to
SI. The Hntboro victors Included Cioes
ler, Yerkes, Detwller, Stone and Hooker.
If the sophomores of the Central High
School hope to beat out the freshmen
for the Inlerclass League basketball tltl
they didn't show much championship
ability In the game with the Juniors yes
terday and will have to Improvo consid
erably. The Juniors won bv a score of 10 to 7.
Perhaps tho fact that the lunlor.i had
strengthened their line-up by having Far
makis. of the football team, at guard had
something to do with the final result.
The Central High School freshmen hnd
Schneldcrmnn, Kocnlc, l.ukens. Klfrnun
nnd Toll In togs, and with this quintet
they overwhelmed the seniors (Trnut
weln. Wright, Tarr, Ootwoln and Curry)
by a score of 17 to 9. Schneiilermnn
niade 13 of the winning total. Tarr was
the senior star, scoring nil the points for
his team.
Captain Dodds. of the fiermnntown
Friends' School basketball team. Is not
dlscou raged over the showing In the
Initial game with Hatboro. He said:
"Ilntborn came down with a very strong
team. Wn have not had much practice,
and while 1 am limiting no excuses for
the fellows, I nm sure we will do better
In the next game." Button. Arnrtt. Pat
ton nnd Wood were members of tho
Friends' team.
Alexander C. Sawers. manager of the
St. Joseph College ttasketball team, was
much provoked when the Brown Prepara
tory manager called off the game yester
dnv. Manager Sawers said: "We were
all readv for the contest. The only ex
cuses Brown lied to offer for canceling
were that the plavers have been without
a coach, and, nn the Brown mnnnger said
to me, 'It would bo a farce to play the
gnme under the conditions,' so wo were
left without n game.
Donald Mcl,cnn. the all-round nthleto
nt Lansdowno High School, had the
honor of scoring ono of tho two field
goals made against Swarthmore HKh
yesterday. There were Just two, the
other having been made by Dalton. The
players on tho Lansdowno tenm had
ninny chances to score from tho foul
line, Kldd making flvo of his shots good,
Jones scoring two out of four nnd Dalton
four out of nine.
The Southern High School basketball
team as It will line up In the league
series will probably be: Wattman nnd
Mondros. forwards: Watson, centre:
rinttlleh nnd Black, guards. Llpknwltz
has an excellent chance for the guard
position: Bunnln Is giving the forwards
n good race and Weiss li n candidate for
centre.
Tho Darby High School basketball play
ers are hanging up a new record this
season. Pearl and Forbes, tho forwards,
work splendidly together. Frountaln, the
centre. Is one of the best players In the
Delaware County League. Franklin and
Spahr. two regulars, take excellent care
of tho guard positions. This team may
clinch the Suburban League title.

NOW HOME-RUN KING IS NOT WANTED
Athletic Slugger Who Refused 10,000 a
Stranded in a Quagmire of Peace.
The Feds Did It
By SPICK
WHI1N Frank Baker was a member of
Connie Mack's champion Athletics he
was a fair waiter. But he Hew Into the
public orb by hitting home runs and other
disconcerting blows that produced scores
against the enemy. Since his refusal to
play with tho White F.lcphont.s. Baker has
developed the walling game to a science,
but science Is not always protltnble.
Severn! days ago when tho National
League moguls drifted Into New York
there was a lot of talk about various
clubs wishing tn purchase Baker's re
lease. Connie Mack remarked some time
ago that ho was ready to sell. A deal
seemed to be well under way when Wil
bur Koblnson, acting for the Brooklyn
club, olTered Baker $10,000 a year to play
with tne Supeibas. Baker Indignantly re
fused to listen to the Jingle of such .1
paltry toll. Being a cltlren of that great
niunlclpallt), Trappe. Mil., Frank thought
he wns deserving of far more money than
a mere SlO.iol snot.
And therein, the famous huntsman nnd
batsman erred. Ho had not seen the
handwriting on tho wall, which being In
terpreted meant that there was soon to
be an end of the Federal League and that
baseball players of ability could be
bought and contracted with for a song,
compared to thn fabulous prices th.it pre
vailed a year ago.
Since the Peace Dove has been chum
ming with the Peacock, In the Intter's
home alley nt the Waldorf-Astoria, no
one has offered Baker $10.00(1. Your Uncle
Wilbur apparently has forgotten that he
asked Baker to reconsider nnd Join
Bionklyu for that sum. Baker Is dis
concerted. If Mr. Baker wero to go today to Mr.
Hlibets nnd remark that he would gladly
Join his tribe for tho stipulated sum, Mr.
HIibctH no doubt would beam benignly,
NATIONAL LEAGUE DEFEATED SELF,
NOT GLORIOUS VICTORY FOR FEDS
By GRANTLAND RICE
VC
OU will hear It echoed In polite (If
JL there are any) baseball circles that the
Feds have whipped the Natlonnl League.
For this the Feds deserve as much
credit as Jess Wlllnrd would get for
knocking out Kid Broad. The National
League whipped Itself, nnd It began the
whipping process at least four years ago,
when it refused to stand hy many of Its
best ball players and let two or three cut
throats, ycgginen and thugs dlctato tho
policy of tho league,

They wero up ngalnst an Institution that
had begun to rot both nt the top and nt
tho base somo yeurs ago. They wero up
against an Institution that had two or
three high-class club owners, but that,
In the main, outsldo of these two or three,
didn't nssay enough sporting blood to
keep a gnut from being anemic.
Other Counts
There were other counts against the
old lenguo which we have brought out
from tlmo to time.
Their yearly meetings, 011 more than
one occasion, were but little above bar
room brawls. They were lighting among
themselves year after year with a selfish
disregard of the best Interests of bports
that was unbelievable.
Tho two or three sportsmen In tho
leuguo who had a voice of protest to
raise onco In a whllo were howled down
by the clamor of the wine openers, the
tricksters and the second-story sports.
Started the Feds
It was through this decaying wall In
the National League that tho Feds got
started. The National League put tho
Feds on the map by showing what a
wonderful opening there was for anybody

but offer to do no inoro than buy Frankle

In shiitt, Mr. Baker waited himself out
of some live or six thousand per annum,
as It Is certain that with the great Influx
of Federal Lengue playera to the majors
an unpieocdentcd reaction will take place
nnd players' salaries will shortly fall to
unimnl. In other words, Baker was worth
fia.OOO two wicks ago, while today his
value to n cub Is estimated wirlously
from four to llxe thousand.
This same condition of affairs has
thrown tn.inj major league players Into
a violent panic They ale fulling over
theiiiFelves tiylng to get In communica

owners seem to have tle eloped a sudden

Into thn eager faces of their hirelings
with a nek-lustre eye and, unllko the

YOUNG AMERICA
is the title for a new page in the Maga
zine Section of tomorrow's Public
Ledger.
It is a page of suggestion, information
and instruction, which will interest
readers of those ages when more is
learned than at any other time of life,
and when all things ought to be cor
rectly and sensibly understood, appre
ciated and mastered.
Your boy should read the "Young
America" page in tomorrow's Public
Ledger.
