s-p- - t-,- i EVENING LEDGfiE PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JANUAHr 1, 101G.' PAST YEAR IN BASEBALL ONE OF MANY STARTLING FEATURES OTHER NEWS OF SPORTS SEGAL WINNER OF STARR CLUB STREET EVENT Shows Heels, to Field of 100 Over Six-mile Course SPRINTING ALONG LOMBARD STREET TODAY IN THE ANNUAL THEODORE STARR MARATHON IG. H. BROOKE WAS RACQUETS' STAR OF 1915 Won Every Court Tenuis and Racquets Event of Local Racquet' Club aBpw! fc Harry F. Segal, a sll.fctly built lad of Cheater, now wearing the emblem of the Mercury Athletic Club, of this city, ran through a field of 100 runners, around trolley cars and wagons and through several thousand persons ahd won tho fourth annual street run of tho Theodore Starr Club on South street this morning, Segal worked his way to the front be fore half of the six miles was covered and then set his own pneo the rest of the way. Ho was a half block ahead at the finish. The race was a difllcult one to run, and was also difficult tfor the offi cials to handle at the finish. Mounted policemen could not keep the crowd on tho sidewalks and when run ners began to near the finish they Jostled officials aiound like so many candle pins, it was oniy wun me greatest resistance that they mnnaged to check up tho run ners. The street was full or trolley cars, wagons and automobiles and time nfter time tho runners were forced to rtop at ntrefct corners and wait for nngons, cars and nutomobllcs to pass. Some of tho runners were unfortunato to bo stopped more than once and every Etop meant several seconds lost. Seconds mean n great deal In a run of this kind as will be noted In the Com petition for tho time prize In which five runners finished within 15 seconds. The tlmo prize was won by Harry Ilablno wltz, of tho Hoj's" Club of the Church Club, who covered tho course In 32 rnln utes. This wns seven seconds better than the tlmo of Schested, Malta Uoat Club star, and 11 seconds better than tho time made by Frank Kunn, of the Irish-American Athletic Club of New York. Zuna found the handicaps a trlflo too hard for him to overcome and ho ''finished away down tho list. Tho Boys' Club, of tho Church Club, won the team trophy with n total of 41 points, nosing out tho Swedish-American Athletic Club, of New York. Tho Swedish club won two team trophies, for there was a trophy offered to tho first out-of-town club to have a team In at tho finish. The Theodoro Starr Club on two occasions won tho team trophy and then gavo the prize to nnothcr club, but In this raco tho Starr Club finished last In tho team com pilation. While first plnce was tied up by Segal good and early and without any fight, there were a lot of good brushes for other places. Frank Itodgers, of the Marqtietto Club, and the VIckstrom, of tho Owedlsh Amerlcan Club, of New York, had rt great fight for second place. They ran on even terms for several blocks, nnd Kodgera nosod out his Swedish rival by a yard at the finish. Tho summaries: ninpitxl Actual Contestant. Club. Time. (Jo. Time. II. r. BckbI, Mercury A.

Ono little crack on the chin may dislodge halos of the following title-holders: Al McCoy, alleged middleweight cham pion. J 'red WpIhIi, lightweight champion.

At tho present tlmo no competent contender for tho hcnvwolght crown looms up on tho pugilistic horizon, Tho milling will b hard nnd fast In all boxing divisions owing to the unusually keen competition. The title-holder who boxlpg critics the country over aro suio will be toppled from his pinnacle is Welsh, who won his championship on a question able decision In London fiom Willie Ritchie July 7, 1911. Charley White Is pre dicted as tho next possessor of the light weight championship. The Chlcagoan came Into prominence puglllsticnlly be cause of his left hook called the perfect punch after ho had knocked out several promising lightweight buds who were blooming as championship products. Welsh had been making a wide circuit whenever championship bout conversation was put to him. It Is doubtful, however. If tho Englishman will bo ablo to go through the 1916 season without defending his tltlo. Welsh has been boxing for 10 years, and while his ring generalship and cleverness has carried him through limited bouts. It Is a unanimous prediction that he will lose his crown the first time ho attempts to defend It. Now that Johnny Hrtle has proved to New York and local fans that he Is not a false alarm, as Sammy Harris, manager of Kid Williams, was wont the public should believe following the St. Paul lad's Victory over the Baltlmorcan on a foul, the Kewple Is being heralded as a prob able successor to the bantam throne. Since coming out of the West Krtle has won all of his bouts on this side of the Mississippi. His knockout hero In 45 seconds over Young Dlgglns stamps him us a terrific puncher even though Dilla delphlans were unable to get a good One Hundred and Forty-four Rounds of Boxing Scheduled at Four Local Clubs This Afternoon Olympia A.

Prank Segal, of tho ringside view of him becnuso of his short exhibition. Krtle's first New York match was with a former amateur, Abo Fried man, who was all but annihilated by Johnny. This victory did not Improve Kewple's prestige very much, but when ho defeated Johnny Solsberg, a lad who stood out as one of the lending contend ers for Williams' crown, Krtlo vanquished all thoughts of him being a counterfeit. Several promoters at tho present time are anxious to stage a WIlllnmH-Krtlo championship set-to, but they aro finding much dllllculty In d-lng so because of tho weight question, Krtlo insists that the match should bo mnde at 116 pounds, whllo it Is admitted that Williams cannot do that poundago any more. Ah "16" now Is recognized as the bantam limit, AV111 lams may lose his tltlo by default unless managers of the boxers can reach a defi nite agreement. The only reason Al McCoy is mentioned as middleweight champion Is on tho strength of a fluko knockout in a match with Georgo Chip, who previously had scored two decisive victories over Frank Klaus, recognized as the tttleholdcr fol lowing tho assassination of Stanley Ketchol. Tho first first-rate middle weight Mike Gibbons, Lea D'Arcy, Eddie McGoorty, Young Ahearn or George Chip probably will knock all championship calibre out of McCoy In a bout scheduled for more than 10 tounds, , Georgo Chaney, llaltlmore's knockout king, stands out prominently ns the one to knock Kllbane"s crown from his curly haired dome. Ilaltlmoro promoters have been negotiating for a match between Kilbane and Chaney, with the title at stake, for some time, but nothing definite has developed. The Cleveland boxer wns offered 15500 for a bout to a decision, Kil bane did not accept It. Like Welsh, Kil bane may bo forced Into defending his laurels before the end of the 1916 season, and Chaney Just now Is the only man who looms up as his probable successor. Philadelphia has developed a cracker Jack lightweight this year and It may be that this city will be represented in a championship contest this year or In 1317. Jimmy Murphy, the West Philadel phlan, who recently handed Champion Welsh a nifty lacing here, looks as If he may Improve gradually until he will bo worthy of a crack at the championship. Although tho boxing pastime has been In existence for more than 25Q0 years, Phila delphia never has boasted of a champion. ABSENT-MINDED ABNER Nobody Arrives at a Logical Conclusion PENN FOOTBALL COACH TO BE PICKED MONDAY Name of Successful Candidate Will Be Announced at Direc tors' Meeting Tuesday Tho University of Pennsylvania Foot ball Committee oxpects to have a meet Intl some time Monday, probably in the evening, when tho coach for 1916 may bo picked. Members of the committee, however, declare that tho name of tho successful candidate, even if determined upon, will not be announced until tho monthly meeting of the board of directors of the Athletic Association, which will be hold on Tuesday afternoon. It Is possible, though, that tho committee will not know its own decision that time. Just who tho man will bo no member of the committee will admit, even If It Is known. The Impression exists In foot ball circles that there has been it shift in the sentiment of the committee and that the most likely winner now Is Robert C. Folwell, captain of the 1907 cloven, and who since his graduation has won fame at Lafayette and Washington nnd Jeffer son, where his teams have beaten Prince ton, Cornell nnd Yalo and tied Harvard. Captain Mathews and n majority of the commltteo wanted the conch picked be fore tho Christmas holidays began. If a coach had been picked nt that time it Is almost certain that Mike Dennett, of Havcrford College, would have been the lucky man. The appointment wns post poned In order that action might not be considered hasty. Although members of tho committee refuse to talk. It Is known that the qualifications of Folwell have made a most favorable Impression on the committee and he Is thought to bo more favored than Bennett nt this Juncture. Several other men in the list of 11 given out three weeks ugo aio still receiving seilous consideration, nnd members of tho committee contend that thoy are still In the race. Pat Moran Signs for Three Years Pat Moran, the Phillies' only pennant-winning manager, yester day signed and forwarded his con tract to manage President Baker's team for the seasons of 1910, 1917 and 1918. The terms of the con tract were agreed upon at a conference between Moran and President Baker in New York sev eral weeks ago. It is said that Moran received a substantial in crease in salary, bringing his year ly stipend to the neighborhood of $10,000. Mercury A. C, won the first prize.

This game was expected to go down In footbnll annals as the biggest nnd moht Important game over played outside tho Philadelphia schools and colleges. Through the locnl sporting world for tho last few weeks had run a current of an ticipation over tho contest. Whllo tho gamo had many times been mentioned ns the first on- of the new year, it was, in reality, tho closing battle of 1015. and uas played as such, as It settled tho championship of tho pust season. Interest throughout this section of the Stato had been so widespread that the advance sale of 1000 tickets had been snapped up greedily. The management was unable to satisfy tho demand for re served seats for fear of the ever-present speculators. However, 500 reserves were on snle when tho gates opened at I "oclock, along with GOOO general admissions. Tho outcome of the gamo will settle for all time the wranglu over tho cham pionship of tho twin counties. Since this tltlo was left In doubt when the McCluro and Vlncome teams played a scoreless tie on October 23, 1915, there had been a big question among tho adherents, playeis Any Sooner! By WALT and managers as to which team had the rightful claim. Previous to last October these two rivals met In tho fall of 1911, hut that game also terminated in a scoreless draw. Immediately after the signing of agree ments to play today's game, tho hostile managers called out their men to practice, nnd It was learned that four or live reg ulars on both Vlncome and McClure would be unavailable for today. This Indisposition on the part of tho players, howover, will not Interfero greatly with the original plans of tho manngers, and to take their places both Andy McClure, manager of the team which bears his name, and William McDonald, of Vln come. at once sought out the best football material in Philadelphia. Consequently a wild scramble for play ers resulted, and each team this after noon had In Its line-up several men who for the last few years have won honors In tho piep schools and colleges, Hesldes the regular Vlncome and Mc Clure men, playing against one another were such football celebrities as Charles McGuckln, A'illanova, and his running mate at halfback, "Dutch" Forst; Tex Jtamsdell, several seasons ago a head liner in tho backflcld at Penn; Stanley Hunt, Mercersburg; Norman McKlssick, mentioned as an all-Amerlcan while at quarterback on tho 1913 Swarthmore eleven; Italph Mills, Penn State; Scott Smith, star linesman of the Pennsyl vania Military College; Harry Swartz, Lafayette, Harold Lentz, all-scholastic quarterback on the 1913 Central Manual team, and BUI Stephens, formerly of Central High and this season with Muhlenberg College. Both Vlncome nnd McClure spent nearly an hour this morning In putting the final touches on their previous work outs with practice on their respective fields. Following a luncheon at noon today, the Darby aggregation attended a black, board talk by Quarterback McKlssick, captain of the team, and Manager Mc Clure. Shortly nfter 1 o'clock the squad left for the Strawbridge & Clothier Held In automobiles.
