In Its success, was again elected vice
Iirpsltlont. Prof. Clinton A. Strong, of

i etary.
The admission of these schools proves
conclusively that tho lengtio Is Working
for the good of tho game. Tho more
teams in competition tho greater the
friendly rlvnlry between schols nnd the
keener the deslro to win.
i'rnnkford High School has an excellent
foundation for a good tenm. Young
itoriiliclm, whose play caused favorable
comment at Cynwyd last summer, Is
playing there, while Hay Kennedy, also a
student nt tho same institution, Is ono
of the most promising boys now playing
around the city.
Tho wholo standard of theso two
schools nthletlcnlly Is so high thnt It Is
i1. . c? n P'ea'uiro to wcicoino them In
this league. Thero Is no tennis league
In tho city which Is better run, better
handled and where better sportsmanship
Is shown than In tho Interscholastlc.
Professor Hrooltllcld, Mr. Knowtton and
Professor Strong deservo great credit
for the nble and cfllclcnt manner In
Which tho league, ls conducted.
RESERVE CLAUSE IS
BASEBALL'S BULWARK
Originated by Col. A. G. Mills,
National League's. Third
President
The reserve iulo In a baseball play
er's contract a provision which empow
ers a club to hold tho services of n player
for tho ensuing year has moro than any
one thing been tho foundation of tho suc
cess of the Nntlonal League. About the
tlmo the lenguo was organized contract
Jumping and desertion of players was ono
of the evils which had wrecked the old
National Association.
Colonel A. G. Mills, the lenguo's third
president, with other baseball men, real
ized that somo Ironclad rule was neces
sary to hold a player to the team which
had him under contract. Colonel Mills
wrote a circular letter which was signed
by Al Spalding, calling the players' at
tention to the evil,
This letter of Colonel Mills was tho first
movo toward tho reserve clause. Tho
campaign for reform grew until Colonel
Mills drew up tho first nntlonal agree
ment, which provided that each club
should "reserve eleven players" at a sal
nry of not less than $1000 for tho ensuing
yenr, players rcleused from reservation
being Ineligible to contract with any
other club within 20 days of their ic
lease. This first document was called the
Tripartite Agreement, being nn amalga
mation of common interest between tho
National League, the American Asso
ciation nnd tho Northwestern League.
Tho ngrecment put a stop to the wide
spread evil of contract Jumping. It placed
baseball on a tlrm footing.
War luiK been waged at different times
on tho reserve rule, both by outlaw or
ganizations nnd by the courts, but It still
stands as tho bulwark of baaoball. Tho
National League haB fought for It htead
fastly through thick and thin, nnd came
out victorious with this rule In the ro
cent war with tho Federal League.

Pennsylvania has nn excellent chance
this evening of Improving Its standing in
tho Intorcotteglnte Lengue rnoo. Penn
sylvania plays Columbia In tho Morning
sldo Heights gymnasium, In New York,
while Yale plays Dartmouth nt Hanover.
Early In the week Dartmouth took a fall
out of Yale In New Haven. This was
qulto unexpected, for Dartmouth wasn't
considered to bo In the same class with
Yale. However, as the Orcen boys got
away with tho Iiluo In New Haven, they
should repeat In Hanover. Uut you nover
can toll.
Anywny, It Is up to Pcnnsyhanln to
bent Columbia to contlnuo as tho rnnklntr
llguro In the Intcrcotlcglnto Unsketball
League. Tho Columbia team of this win
ter Isn't ns good ns tho Columbia fives of
years ago, but with Cab'er In good shape
the Illuo and White combination Is al
ways dangerous. The New Yorknrs hnve
been scoring freely nil Benson, but thoy
havo hern unable to check the opposition.
The team plays a rough game, too, nnd
tho opposition turns tho fouls Into points
as a rule.

The Gieystock team of the Eastern

after being pushed throughout tho closo
mutch.
The score at hnlr time was 13 to 11, In
favor of .Greyntock, and this lead was
held until the end. Near the closo of
tho second half tho Hoars shoved In sub
stitutes, but Cross nnd Sugnrmnn un
corked an attack that was too strong for
tho visitors.
Heading Is face to face with Its most
vital gamo of the scnson tonight. If tho
Hears can beat Do Norl this evening nt
Musical i''und Hall It meant) that thoy
still havo nn excellent chance to win tho
Eastern League championship. If they
loso It will kick tho last prop from undor
their legs, for a defeat at this stage
would give the Greys Just the necessary
lead to enable them to slldo In n winner.
Do Norl has shown big Improvement In
its playing In the last two weeks, hav
ing set back both Camden and Greystock
In that tlmo and hnvlng also outplayed
Heading on Its own floor last week. Only
Sears' foul shooting that night saved
Heading from dofent.
In tho preliminary game Do Norl ne

In tho first flvo rounds, nnd, although ha
mnda n spirited rally In tho final ses

como his opponent's lead. It was a
straight left Jab that beat Koons, al
though each of the youngsters landed
plenty of hard right swings
During tho oarly rounds Koons was slow
to get his punches started. Ho spent so
much time fiddling for nn opening that a
majority of tho times when ho lunged
forwnrd with n Bwlng Mullln bent him to
tho punch with a straight left to tho fnco.
In the final session Koons Injectod moro
"pep" Into his nttack, rushing Mullln
nround tho ring nnd battering tho latter
around tho hend with rlBhts and lefts.
Mullln bled from the nose before tho bell
sounded. Koons was easily entitled to
this round.

In tho fourth round the lid from Mnnayunk

NEW YOHK, Feb. 12.-The W'lllnrd
Moran arrangements ambled along today,
whilo Tom Jones, mannger of Jess W'll
lnrd, poked his head through tho frame
of public attention to kick on tho price of
ringsldo scats. Jones actually wanted to
buy scats fiom Tox Klckard, tho pro
moter, hut "Zcppellncd" Immediately
when Tex told him they would cost $.V) a
ohulr.
Vowing to call oft tho mntch If Tox
charged moio than 3 to seo tho fight,
Jones gradually came to earth when the
Westerner snld ho wasn't sure of his rates
ns yet.
However, Illcknril mado It plain ho wns
running tho show,
Jones made light of leports from Chi
cago, saying Wlllnrd was sick with n, cold.
Tho ailment, Jones said. Is not serious.
Now York fans wero growing anxious to
day for a peck nt the heavyweight cham
pion. Disquieting reports of Wlllard's physi
cal condition had u tendency to dampen
the tlrst enthusiasm for tho bout. If Wll
lard were out of condition und fat, us
reported. It wus pointed out bo would
llkelv- postpone his arrival here us long as
possible.

CHIEF BENDER TO DON
PHIL SUIT THIS YEAR
Former Star Mack Pitcher to
Sign With Moran for
1916 Season
Chief Hcnder will wear a Phllly uni
form this year. Tho former star twlrlcr
of the Athletics agreed to terms with
Manager Pat Moran, nnd tho deal will
be ratified today In Now York when tho
Phllly leader and President Halter meet.
Tho Chief will sign a contruct In tlmo
to tako the southern training trip with
tho Phillies.
Negotiations between Moran nnd Bender
havo been going on for tho past two
months, but owing to his lawsuit ngalnst
tho Federal' Leaguo for salary duo him
whilo a member of thu Baltimore Club of
tho defunct organization, tho veteran
pitcher was not In n position to tnlk busi
ness with Moran. Since tho dissolution
of tho "Feds" tho Indian hns been declared
a free agent, and at least two clubs In tho
National Leaguo aro known to havo been
angling for his services.
Charles Dooln, former manager of tho
Phillies and now a member of the CJInnts,
had a talk with Hcnder nt tho Sporting
Writers' banquet Thursday night, and was
to havo arranged a meeting between tho
pitcher nnd President Hempstead, of tho
New York Club. Bender Informed Dooln
that he had a. mooting for yesterday, and
would not tnlk business with him until bo
had talked with Moran. Dooln said last
night that he considered Uonder still a
great pitcher, nnd expected him to make
good with tho Phillies.
Mannger Mornn met Bonder In this city,
last December following tho annual mect-(
Ing of the Nntlonal Lenguo In New York,
when pcaco was declared by organized
baseball and tho Federal Leaguo. At
that time tho Indian said he would bo
glad to play here, but refused to tako
terms until he learned what disposition
was to bo mado of his suit against the
Federals. Moran and Bender met yes
terday afternoon at tho Hotel Adelphla
Business Manager W. J. Shettsllno nnd
tho writer wore the only other persona
present. Moran had been In communica
tion with Bender and had received his
terms, which wero finally agreed upon at
yesterday's meeting. Following- the con
ference Manager Moran left for New
York, and will then go to his home at
Fltchburg, Mass., to remain thero until
It Is tlmo for him to tako the Phillies to
St. Petersburg, Fin., for spring training.

EVENTS FOR YOUNGSTERS
NEW YOHK, Fob. 12,-To tho surprise
of many tho question of nmntourlsm. was
not oven remotely touched upon at the
annual meeting of tho United States Na
tional Lawn Tennis Association nt th
Waldorf, tho chief business of tho dole
gates being centred upon awarding tho
national chnmplonshlpa for tho coming;
year.
The nnllonnt "allcomers" singles, chol
lengo doubles nnd InterscholnBtlo cham
pionships wero awarded to tho West Sldo
Tennis Club, Forest Hills. Tho prelimi
nary sectional doubles wcro awardotl to
tho Onuontsla Club, Chicago, and tho
women's championship to tho Philadel
phia Cricket Club. All tho national In
door championships wont to tho 7th Regi
ment, New York.
Tho Enstcrn doubles wero awarded io
tho Longwood Club, Boston, nnd the' na
tional clay court to tho Lakcwood Tennis
Club, of Clovclnnd, O.
Hecommetidatlons of tho Executive)
Commltteo were ndoptcd as follows:
That In sectional doubles ono mombor
of n pair must be resident of section In
which tho contest Is hold.
That tho national association offer stan
dard prizes for sectional doubles.
Thnt no payment of expenses of player
or team may be mndo except as repre
sentative of tho national association.
It had been anticipated thnt tho nma
tour question would bo tho main lssuo to
como before the meeting, tho case of Mc
Laughlin nnd Untidy, who havo opened a
sporting goods storo In Los Angeles, form
ing the basis for ngltntlon. With tho
championships having been awarded. It
was time for tho question to como before
the meeting. Just then a motion to ad
journ was mado and tho session closed.
When the meeting closed Georgo T.
Adce, president of the association, said
that the Executive Commltteo would con
sider the question nt a meeting In this
city on March 17 and that thero would
probably bo an announcement at that
time. Tho Executive Commltteo held a
meeting this morning and touched upon
the subject, but did not nrrlvo at any
concrete proposition that could be pre
sented to the meeting. Mr. Adeo said
thnt when the commltteo meets here on
March 17 a now set of amateur rule3
would probably ho drawn up so that they
might bo submitted to tho next annual
meeting. There may also bo an Interpre
tation rendered on tho present code. With
no action taken tonight, howovcr, It was
not believed that any pronounced chango
would bo made this year.

Tho meet this afternoon ls the first
nffnlr of this kind that hns ovor been held

ability of the men ho will send to the
