Although tho football captains have

Lannjowne High warriors still havo to
elect their 1916 pilot. This -will bo done
at tho annual banquet to bo held noxt
Saturday night in tho art room of tho
new school bulldlpg. Donald McLean,
tbe quarterback, Is tho choice for thH
pott, and It Is expected, that he will bo
unanimously elected.
McLean played a brilliant game prior
to hi Injury when tho team mot tho

In Uu game- "Don" received a sprained

for 8omf time. Ho Is now playing a great

Tho Lansdowno High School alumni, as
well ns former gridiron stars who won
their letter, will attend tho dinner. At
this tlmo tfcc duties of manager will be
officially turned over to Fabian T. nyan,
and Henry Davis will be named assistant

some tlmo In tho nenr future Conch Al
Bloom was much disappointed yesterday
when Southern High canceled tho bas
ketball game scheduled to bo played In
tho LaSalle gymnasium.
According to reports from Southern
High, Coach Ingbcr has "several mem
bers of the soertld team pressing the first
team players for their positions." Stu
dents nt LaSalle want to know why, If
tho competition is so keen, some of the
neeond team slayers could not havo re
placed thoso too 111 to play on the first
team against LaSallo yesterday?
Physical directors, athletic Instructors
and coaches do not allow schoolboys to
smoke. It Is against tho rules of the
Board of Education and also the Super
Msory Committee on Athletics. Last sea
son a number of athletes wero barred
from footfall teams because thoy wero
detected smoking cigarettes. Tho coaches
or the basketball teams of this city can
not be too careful in enforcing this rule.
Prof. John D. Mahoncy, of tho West
Philadelphia High School, at a recent
gathering of students at the West Phila
delphia Toung Men's Christian Associa
tion, said In part: "Tho clgarctto falls
into a different class because of two great
reasons Its adulteration with other nar
cotics and tho temptation to inhale.
These Teasons, added to the fact that It Is
more readily procured by the high school
boy, make the cigarette today the great
est foe wo have in the world of musclo
and nerve."
Drexel Institute, with basketball ma
terial equally as good as any found at
tho schools In this section, continues to
adhere to its policy of playing out-of-town
and neighboring teams and not list
ing; any of the local quintets.
Such teams as Moravian, New Jersey
State Normal School, Brooklyn Poly.
Brooklyn College, Baltimore Poly and
Delaware College are on the Drcxel
schedule. Demaris nnd Eves, forwards;
Smith, centre: Captain Walls and Pier
son, guards, are regulars on the team.
Tiio local schools would like to see Drexel
In tho fold.
West Philadelphia High School scored
Its second consceutlvo victory over Pcr
(klornen Seminary in the cago when the
Orange and Blue squad won, 22 to 16.
Captain Fred Bachman showed the
Pennsburg squad that tho West Phillies
could win in the Perklomen cage as well
as at home. Mearkle, Blerman, McCas
key, Hubbert, Plnkerton and Gross helped
to accomplish this feat.
Bchnelderman, the Central High School
forward. Is playing a sensational game on
the Crimson, and Gold quintet. Mouradian,
his running mate, is also doing so well it
will be a hard matter for Dave Broom
field to win back his regular position on
the team. Captain Fowler, Stewart and
Welsh are also going strong.
It is hard to see haw Catholic High can

pionship of this city with such players as
Dempsey, McGowan, forwards; Pasque
rello, centre; Glascott and Ferguson,
guards, and with a strong reserve team
consisting of Cole and Wood, forwards:
Leahey, centre; Dougherty and Dealey,
guards. St. Joseph's College and LaSalle
College students have not overlooked the
fact that the Purple and Gold have won
four straight games to date, with no de
feats to mar their record.
Kimmerllng-, Germantown High School's
goal tender, played such a clever game
of Ice hockey In the Initial match with
the Chestnut Hill Academy team, the St.
Jfartln'a squad was unable to tally more
than one goal. Captain Bodgers also
played well for the Manhelm school.
Chestnut Hill Academy will arrange a

JThe University of'Pennsylvania fresh
men are baying a bard time with the
local quintets this season, and the usual
Peun triumphs over the scholastic teams
tire not In evidence. Already West Phil
adelphia and Central High have defeated
the Red and Blue first-year men. La
Salle. College will play at Weigbtman
Hall nest Saturday night, preliminary to
the Penn-Princctoa Intercollegiate League

In past seasons the schoolboys have

Tinker Jumps League, Influences Others to Pol

Who Stuck to Ship
By KliYTIC
ROGER BtinSNAHAN Is to bo hurled
out of tho major leaeiic to make way
for Joo Tinker!
Verily, tho ways of tho magnates
passcth understanding. Their Ideas of
gratitude are astounding. Ever and anon
during tho rocont baseball combat somo
limb of Organized Baseball broko Into tho
public prints with a treatise on gratitude.
Every tlmo tho Federal Leaguo mado
war medicine and toro olf a diamond
star O. B. called upon tho world to wit
ness tho baseness of players In general
and the Jumper In particular.
And tho gold brick buyers fell for it.
ngreelng that tho Ingratitude, greed and
general cusscdncss of the money-crazed
ballplayer was wrecking tho game.
Among those who harkened to the clink
of Federal League gold hob ono Joseph
Tinker. Joe scnrcely hcsltntcd When ho
heard tho eagle scream he entirely for
got his tremendous Indebtedness to Or
ganl7ed Baseball for allowing him to
work for them and Jumped. Joseph didn't
oven stop there he Induced many other
stars to desert, nnd did moro to make the
"feds" than any other single player.
Among thoso who turned a deaf ear to
the Federal League sirens was Roger
Bresnahan. For moro years than Bajih
cares to havo mado publlo ho served Or
ganized Baseball faithfully and well.
Thin Is the llrexunlinn vvhn la to lip
thrimt out of the mnjnr league fold.
Thl 1m the Tinker -lio will net liln
job. To nppreelnte the iIpIIcIiiiin Irony
of Ihr thine It mimt lie remembered
that Tinker's conilnsr mnkm ncceniniT
Ilrennnhiin's going, nrntltudr!
Of courso, Bresnahan has a contract
to manage tho Cubs It's a perfectly
good contract. It will look nice In a
dark oak frame in Rajah's llbrarj,
otherwise It Is a superfluity Not by
any strotch of the imagination can ono
who understands baseball contracts '
concclvo of it anchoring Breunnhan in
Chicago. I
Naturally, Bresnahan will get all tho
monoy that Is coming to him, which Is I
very nlco as far as It goes. But in I
shunting Roger to tho minors his em- ;
ployera nro taking something awny
from him which cannot be reckoned In
dollars and cents. They nro taking
from him his position in the baseball
world, which is his greatest asset

that he would lie Klien Hint inurli

Ing, lie turned down n Tedprnl LrnKlie
offer of 30,000 n yrnr for three yrnrn.
For financial reasons a ball player
Jumps his employers and goes over to a
business rival. That's Ingratitude. For
financial reasons an owner sells out to a
rival, realizing that a faithful emplojo
will lose his Job. That's business policy.
Consistency, thou art a Jewel.

TRENTON', N. J, Jan. 11. Despite the
fact that Trenton secured n (Ive-polnt lead
In the first half of her gamo with Jasper
hero Inst night, sho went down to defeat
by a scoro of "5 to 23. Tlio unisn was n
most exciting one, and was enlivened by
a display of fisticuffs between Frost and
Fuller, which escaped tho alert Bactzcl.
During tho first half there was really
a foul gonl throwing contest between Se
dran and Fogarty, with the homo player
having n shndo the better of tho contest.
During tho cntlro flrst period Fogarty did
not miss a shot from tho fifteen-foot
mark, landing eleven one-polntere. To
this his team mates added two field
goals, which sent Trenton's total to 15
points Scdran in the .meantime scored 10
foul goals, the half ending 15 to 10.
In the second half tho tide turned for
Jasper. Trenton was unablo to locate
tho basket on the few shots they se
cured, whlli tho visitors guarded tholr
opponents nost closely. During the bcc-
ond period Trenton failed to land n field
goal, being kept In the running by Fo
gnrtj's tossing frpm tho 15-foot mark.
Jasper, on tho contrary, shot well, land
ing nil of their four held goals during
tho porlod.

nnd drattcl a set of bvlaus Arrangements
also wero mndo lo.Klvo a banquet on April ll.
Hen Nichols presided.
m"B allegation that I was unfolr to
1 Central High is totally absurd," said
Michael Saxo yesterday In reply to tho
statement that he favored South Phila
delphia in tho recent game with tho
Crimson nnd Gold.
"It looks to me," said Saxe, "that Cen
tral High Is up to the old trick of blaming
defeats on the referee,"
In his office in the Drexel Building
esterdny Saxe gave out a complete denial
to tho statement mado by uoacn Jimmm
Usilton, of the defeated Central High
five. While Usilton made no charges him
self, he said that friends of tho Central
School were of tho opinion that Saxe
persistently favored tho downtown team.
Saxe coached the S&uth Chilly basket
bailers several seasons ago and turned out
tWeaxohsa.dycsterday that M. decisions
In the game wero Impartial In ovMJMro
spect and that the only instanco over
which a question 'could bo raised oc
currod whon ho called a foul on a push
ing episode In which Fowler, tho Crimson
and Gold captain, caged a field goal and
later shot two fouls. "I could have pre
vented thoso fouls from being scored by
not blowing my whistle." the refcrco
said. "After tho gamo Captain Fowler
camo to me nnd said that my officiating
was fair and abovo board."
Wiia a Central Student
To show that ho had no leaning to
ward tho team which he formerly
coached, Saxe pointed out that should
any partiality nrlso It would go to Cen
tral High, as ho graduated from that
school In 1003 That year Saxo played with
tho Crimson and Gold team. Moreover,
he said that It was not his policy to
favor teams when rofcrcelng. and that ho
did not know 4ho scoro ot tho recent
gamo until uftb tho final whistle.
"Tho talk nbu.it mo being nnxlous to
get In the cago to favor tho team I
formerly coached Is all rot," tho retcreo
gavo out "In fact, I did not know I wan
to coach the South Phllly-Central gamo
until after dinner tho day of the game,
when Doctor Kcr, ot South Phllly,
called mo on the phono and asked mo
to refcrco that nfternoon. I told him that
I was not anxious to do this, but ho In-

The
Test Itror Yourself
SUPPOSE we take two lots of tobacco both
grown in Kentucky's best Burley section.
Nature has put rare goodness in this leaf.
Now let one lot be artificially matured
manufacturer saves time,
saves money, saves worry.
But let the other lot be matured
the natural way the VELVET
way. It must age for two
years in wooden hogsheads
which our long experience ha3
proved is the right period for
Nature to finish the maturing.
The tobacco' has become milder.
The aroma and taste have been
improved by natural ageing.
Which way is best? Well, fill
up your pipe with VELVET,
and enjoy our decision.
