PHILADELPHIA BASKETBALL
PANS BELIEVE SCHEFFER
HAS SAVED THE LEAGUE
Eastern League President Has Put Organiza
tion on' High Basis and Proved Integ
rity of the Game
AFTER the fiasco of the 1914-1915 season of thr- Kaslern Basketball I-cagtie,
tx It was freely predicted that the frame would be a losing venttiro this season,
but to date, the attendance has been better than ever. Christmas Day Is usually
tho turning point of the season for many of the teams. If they arc not drawing
tno fans up to this time, a club Invariably loses money.
The Christmas Day crowds nt IteadliiK, Do Nerl and Greysloek prove con
clusively that the fans have Kre.it faith In the honesty of tho name and that
President William J. Scheffer saved tho organization when he took matters Into
his own hands, suspending the offending club owners of Heading and Camden
for their alleged attempt to "Ilx" tho race.
The defeats of CJreystock within the last fortnight have increased the inter
est In the race and now several teams have nn excellent chance to overhaul
the Greys, whereas it looked for a time as If tho downtown Jive was going to
make a runaway race of It. Allle McWIlllams. Oreystock's wonderful guard,
was injured Christmas afternoon and Do Nerl won from the Greys In the evening
becauso of weak defensive play.
If McWIlllams' Injury proves severe enough to keep hltn out of tho gBmo
for a time. It would be no great surprise If tho race was tightened up still more,
as Heading and Do Nerl are both playing great ball, while Trenton Is going to
trouble tho leaders If It can keep Its llnc-up Intact.
Veterans Have Been Out of Game
Trenton's two star veterans, Joe Fogarty and Harry Hough, have been out
of many games, almost all of which h.ivc been lost.
When Kogarty and Hough are In the game the Jcrscymen compare favor
ably with any team In the league. The team Is composed of veterans and Is I
not ns fast as Grcystock or Do Nerl, but It plays better Inside basketball and
gets oxccllcnt results without tho speed by never making nn unnecessary play. ,
Heading Is very much In the same condition, but Is sure to be In the run- i
nlng-. Tho return to form of Charley O'Donnell, whose brilliant floor work nnd
field tossing have been responsible for many of the Hears' recent victories, has
inspired the other men and they are now moving along at a dizzy clip.
The greatest disappointment of the season has been the miserable playing of
Camden. Tho Skeeters Mulshed tho 1914-1915 season with a wonderful spurt
which enabled It to tie Heading. With a younger team than Heading the fans
looked for a great battle between Camden nnd Greystock, which finished tho
season strong with a team of youngsters. Friction In the ranks Is said to be
the cause of Camden's poor showing.
Hrown Playing Far Below Form
last season the Skeeters played well together, but so fur this year there
has been too much individual play and two or three men do not get along
Well, according to rumor. Jimmy Brown, the brilliant guard, has been far
below his form of 1914-1915, nnd perhaps it would be a good thing If tho man
agement could make a trade for him. Brown Is a star of tho first water and
any other team In tho league would find him Invaluable, whereas he has been of
little use to tho Skcoters.
Jasper's showing has also been disappointing, but the fans hao stuck to
tho team well and It will bo a money-maker if it can take a spurt In the near
future. Tho only team which has not been drawing well at home Is Camden,
but they have played to excellent crowds on the road, particularly nt Heading
where the hall was packed to the doors for the afternoon and evening games
on Christmas Day.
.
Difference Between Eastern and Western Football
Uuck O'Neill, coach of Syracuse's varsity eleven, declares that tho difference
between football In tho far West and In the East Is fundamental. Tho lack of
good prep school material has been a great handicap to tho conches, ns they are
forced to drill their men from tho ground up after they report for a college team,
as tho school elevens nro so weak that a boy learns but little which will do him
good In the collegiato gamo, according to O'Neill.
Tho Eastern coach, whoso team played threo of the rerjresentatlvn eleven
of tho far West, thinks that the material Is naturally better, ns the men are
bigger and faster nnd that It Is only a question of time before the Pacific
coast will have to be reckoned with when It comes time to award the football
championship.

RACING DATES ANNOUNCED
British Steoplechnsing Season Will
Begin This Week
LONDON, nee. 27. The Important dates
of the tlrltlsli stecplerbnslng season have
just been announced, and despite tho
war most of the big llxlurcs will bo held.
Tho senson will open nt Oatwlck on Jan
nary 1 and the stewards have sanctioned
further meetings during tho month at
I.lngflold on January 7 nnd 8, Windsor
Jnnunry It and 15 and Oatwlck on Janu
ary SI and 22 The results of theso meet
ings will guide tho authorities ns to ar
ranging further llxtlircs
."Montana and Oregon Linesmen Strong
Bill Horr, All-America Syracuse guard of 1908, who once matriculated
at Tenn and then suddenly disappeared, declares that tho Syracuse lino was out
played by the forwards of both Montana and Oregon Aggies. Outplaying the
Syracuse line was a feat which no Eastern team was able to accomplish.
"There isn't enough difference between Eastern nnd Western football te
distinguish." says O'Neill. "After watching Montana nnd the Aggies play and
talking with coaches and players In the West I am convinced that the only dlf
ferences are of such a slight character that they will entirely disappear within
the next few years.
"The West plays football like it does everything else. There Is the same
characteristic hustle and bustle about the gridiron warriors that ono finds In the
people engaged in commercial and industrial pursuits. The spirit of the West
seems to be speed and tho football elevens have absorbed a generous quantity
of this atmosphere.
"In tho East they think Western foothall very crude, and It Is to a certain
extent. Tho absence of preparatory schools causes a lack of well-trained be
ginners in college at tho game. In the East the preparatory schools contribute
many of the stars, and their chief value lies in their experience."
Work Ahead for the Boxing Commission
It is hoped that tho New York State Boxing Commission will investigate
conditions at the Clermont A. C. where a boxer was billed to appear under the
name of Tommy O'Keefe, of Philadelphia, on Christmas afternoon, while O'Kecfe
was fighting Franklo Conlfrey nt the National A. C. here. The club probably
will use tho alibi that It was imposed upon by the manager of the pugilist but
as the matchmuker Is supposed to know whom he is dealing with, the club should
not bo allowed to get off without a penalty. The "ringer" was knocked out in
the first round, which will Injure tho real O'Keefe's drawing power in New York.
Not Much Stir in the Boxing World
The probable postponement of the Jess Willard-Fred Fulton match has
caused hardly a stir in the pugilistic game. The fans must be shown and until
Fulton proves that he has a right to meet the world's champion by defeating
some first class men, the public will not look upon him as a. contender for the
crown. Tommy Burns, who is managing the affair, says that hi reason for
dropping the match was that the New Orleans papers criticised the match
Instead of boosting it, as expected.
If Frank Moran can again atop Jim Coffey, the Dublin Giant, or clearly
outpoint him in their coming bout In New York, he will be the logical opponent
for WJIlard. Moran gave Johnson a hard battle over the 20-round route when
the champion was far better than on the day Wlllard brought the title back
to the white race, and the public will at least be assured that It will see a real
fight, regardless of the outcome.
State College's soccer team received but little credit for Its work during
the last season In the summing up of the Eastern championship, despite the
fact that the up-State collegians romped away with an easy victory over Haver
ford College's Intercollegiate championship eleven. State had the best soccer
team in Its history.
Charley O'Donnell. Reading's great veteran, made a wonderful record in
the double-header against Camden on Christmas Day, In the two games
O'Donnell made 11 field goals and six assists, besides going up for the Jumn
successfully time after time,
Frank Baker was In Philadelphia yesterday and still Insists that they will
have to come to him with a large contract If any team wants him to return
to the game. If what the magnates broached on the subject at the peace
meeting can be taken as a criterion Baker Is due to remain out of the game
for another season unless he drops his price.

By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL
The National Collegiate Athletic Asso
ciation, when It holds Its annual conven
tion In New York this week, will concen
trate mem of Its tlmo through tho me
dium of papers, speeches nnd debates on
tho poor "summer baseball" pinner. This
troublesome imllvliltiitl hns rcsMed all
the efforts of associations, r.iculty men
and college presidents for a srnu, atlou
or more. He will have another Inning
this week, and perhaps before the college
baseball season opens In the spring there
will be some agreement as to what shall
be done with hltn.
I am convinced, however, that no per
manent cure will be provided by the N. C.
A. A. unless It changes its rules and
makes them mandatory on all members
of the association. Under Its present con
stitution and bylaws this body, which
represents nearly all the leading univer
sities and colleges of the country, can do
nothing but recommend It has no power
to enforce its suggestions.
The Two Methods
There are Just two ways to deal effec
tively with this problem. One Is for the
association to agiee upon certain legisla
tion which shall be binding upon ull its
members. The other Is for the associa
tion to split up into groups, form their
own Intercollegiate baseball associations
and agree upon uniform rules to govern
under what conditions students may play
baseball during the summer for other
than their own colleges.
It Is not likely that the big universities
would consent to be bound by a majority
vote of such a big organization. If they
did they would be at the mercy of a
group of small colleges. Legislation suit
able to the majority might be extremely
distasteful to some of the big institu
tions. Of course, the delegates to the as
sociation do not have authority to vote
for legislation which shall be binding.
Thus the N. C. A. A. can never be any
thing more than a big conference to
discuss matters pertaining to college
sports.

Industrial organizations maintain base
ball teams which play other organizations
on Saturday afternoons or during the
week. These students are supposed to do
a certain work In return for their salary.
Just as do the other non-athletic em
ployes. Hut. as a. matter of fact, few of
them could get such situations except
upon the understanding that they ure
good baseball players and will play for
the teams maintained by their employers
In one respect this Is a species of pro
fessionalism, because the men get their
emploment principally because of their
baseball skill.
Hut playing baseball once or twir .
week and doing- a man's work In tho
store besides Is certainly not making: a
business of baseball In fact. It Is no
worse man iracK athletes representing
the athletic associations of aimiisr r,-.
Ku.niia.uuna anq competing- under
tuioia uiiucr ins same conditions,
The Solution
The second suggestion Is the more ap
plicable. College bnseball has never had
an association as other sports have, and
of them all It needs one the most. The
simplest solution would be for a group
of half a dozen or more universities In the
East as near uniform in size and eligibil
ity requirements as possible, to organize
for tho control of college baseball, adopt
the usual definition of on amateur, and
then draw up certain regulations for the
absolute control of the sport during the
summer.
Jt seems to me that the beet way to do
this U to permit college students to play
during the bummer under certain condi
tions, jne practice now most nrnvnir.ni ,.. i ,,. -v, ..,.. ....'-.': - ---

YOUNG'S BIG PIER
WILLBE 1916 SCENE
OF WESTY HOGANS
Noted Shoot Scheduled for
Million Dollar Structure
in September
COOKE TO GET $1800 CUP
Tly way of Christmas cheer for the trap-
shooters of the country, and of this city
In particular. Neaf Apgnr, president of
the Westy Hogans, noted shooting or
ganization, which started here and spread
all over the country, has Just made an an
nouncement that tho event Is meeting
with great favor. This Is to tho effect
that tho annual trapshootlng tournament
of the organization; which In held an
nually at Atlantic City with upward of
300 shooters In competition, will bo held
next September on Young's Million Dol
lar Tier out over the ocean,
Apgar writes the Evening Ledoek since
tho old pier, on which this shoot wns held
uniu nve years ago, wus burned, there
has been a steady demand among shoot
ing men In all sections of the land that
the Philadelphia shooters get together and
put some pressure to bear to make It pos
sible again to stage tho Bhoot on a pier.
Now that this has been accomplished It U
going to bo dllllcult to accommodato tho
great entry list.
In all likelihood the 1916 event will be
far superior to any ever staged in point of
quality and quantity of attendance, with
the possible exception of the Orand Amer
ican Handicap of this jcar. The holding
of the shoot on Young's I'icr will be a
distinct novelty in shooting.
Special piers will be built at tho end
and along the side of the pier far out over
the shore. On these trap will be mounted
with shooters' stands built on tho pier
Itself. This will give ample freeboard.
The target then will be thrown out over
the water, but at a sufficient distance
from the bathing beach so that thcro will
be no danger of shooting Into the bathers.

OTHER CORNER KICKS
This season's competition for tho Dcwar
Trophy, tho national soccer classic, I ft fur
nishing keener strlfo than ever before.
:t, every district there were a number or
drawn first and second round matches, and
a few of these matches were again drawn
when replnded. Tho West itudsons nnd
Vonhcrn V. C, In tho New York dis

Vlscoso elevens, of tho local district, havo
met In two no-decision battles. The I'ack

MumiM!) ui me newnr Trophy, 1914-13
American l.engue champions and recog
nized cicrywheiens the country's leading
soccer eleven, nnd Disston, of Tnconv, and
between Viscose, of Marcds Hook, and Hi
bernians, of this city, were played off on
Saturday nnd the tesult of each match
wns a distinct surprise. Tho surprise of
the nisston-Ilethlchcm go wns not so
much tho fnct that tho latter won as
that they won so easily. This was tho
thllit meeting of tho Benson fnr H,n
clubs. The tlrst was in an American
j.engue game six weeks ago, Disston win
ning, 2-1. On December 11 the clubs mot
at IJethlehem In the t,ccond round for tho
national cup John Dcwar Trophy-and a
1-1 draw resulted.
In view of this excellent showing
against the steel champs, Disston. while
not necessarily tho fnvorltc, was expect
ed to at least hold Its own. nut IJethle
hem won as it pleased, by 3 goals to none.
Dlsston's defeat may have been due to
tho absenco of Captain McEwan and Con
tro Halfback Fisher, who were Injured
early In tho week in practice. Hut, even
so, Disston made such a sorry showing In
team-play that It Is doubtful If tho pres
ence of McKwan and Fisher would havo
changed the tesult, except, perhaps, to
tower Bethlehem's score.
Bethlehem stuck to tho short passing
game which, In the long run. Is the best.
Dlsston's attack consisted principally of
long pusses to the wings, and most of
these long passes were enslly Intel ceptcd
by Bethlehem's halfbacks. Quite early In
the game It was evident that this type
of attack would not prove successful, but
Instead of changing to the shorter and
truer passes Disston clung to Its orlglnnl
plan of attack.
Disston Boys' Club, present holders of
the Philadelphia League championship,
slipped further from the top by losing
to Christ Church. Wisslnomlng, a new
comer In the league ranks nt the open
ing of the season, gained a llrmer hold
on tho lead by defeating the Hoys' Club
of the Church Club.
Tho Disston Boys' Club Is not the only
holder of a lenguo championship that Is
experiencing difficulty In retaining Its
luuiels. In tho Allied Lenguo Putnam
Is having Its hands full, while Felton
vlllo has been making nn uphill light all
season in tho United League. In the
Cricket Club League Merlon Whlto
(formerly MerchnntvUle) Is being pressed
hard by Merlon Maroon and Moorestown
while Bethlehem Is far from being as
sured of the American League title.
