KONPAY, MABOH 27, 1916. 12 PRINCETON HAS ADVANTAGE IN PLAY-OFF FOR INTERCOLLEGIATE BASKETBALL TITLE: TIGER BASKETBALL MEN HAVE EDGE OF PENN IN BATTLE FOR CAGE CROWN Princeton Trained to Minute for Wednesday Night's Struggle, While Jourdet's Team Is in Comparatively Poor Condition w, HEN Princeton and Pennsylvania have- rnmplelccl 40 minutes of basket iball Wednesday ovcnlnfc at WelRhtmnn JInll tho cltanres nro tliat tho Tigers will havo won the IntereolloRlato Hnsketbnll t.cnRiio crown fop 191G. Tho Jcrpoy college men havo n distinct nilvnntnRo over tho West 1'hlln dclphlana In tho deciding combat because they have kept on edge, whllo tho locat players disbanded and broko training ni soon as tho Benson was closed. It Princeton does win, and tho chances seem In bo highly In fnvor of tho Orange and BlarU, Coach Lon Joutdct, of Pcnn, can bo considered a very unfor tunato person. Jourdet developed a winning basketball tram, tho first ono Pcnn has had In years. Ho built hli team from material which other enfichcs had passed up as valueless, but ho mado a success as coach, because ho Is so thoroughly con versant with tho pamo that ho was nble to Instil enough playing Unoutedgo Into his team to offset their lack of weight and lark of ability. Having carried Penn through the loaguo season nt tho top of tho ladder, Jong with Princeton, Jourdet now finds that ho la forccil to get his team to sethcr nt tho ninth hour and play a quintet which is tuned to tho minute for tho championship fray. League Official. Arc to Ulamc Tho otTlciats of tho Intercollegiate Hasketball I.eaguo aro to blnmo for tho Injustice wroughton Tcnn and on Jourdet: If they had had siMIMclit foresight, as pointed out boforo In theso columns, to arrangn a play-off whedulo In iao of a tie, Ponn would have had an equal chanco to win tho -title from Princeton. But tho ono deciding gamo to be played hero "Wednesday night will in all prob ability givo Princeton Its first basketball tltlo and at tho samo tlmo tnko from Ponn an honor to which sho had an equal right. Jourdot, however, has not given tip by any means. On tho contrary, ho has dono ovorj'thlng In his power to got Penn back Into playing form. In order to accomplish this ho has been having practice games with tho Eastern Icaguo champions Grcystock. Bailey's team Is keeping on edgo for tho sorles of games with tho winner of tho Interstate Basketball League. Roy Thomas Hag Had Some Had Luck, Too Although beaton by tho Navy on Saturday, two to nothing, tho Pcnn base ball team put up a wonderful game, considering tho fact that It had not been ablo to get on tho Held a slnglo day for prncttco. Roy'Thomas has been forced to drill his men In Wolghtman Hall slnco tho first call for practice His pitchers rounded into fair shape, but the other mem bers of tho team showed In their gamo ngalnst the middles that it Is Impossible to develop a winning diamond combination with indoor work and blackboard lectures. Both of theso methods uro good as far as they go, but outdoor work is surely cssontial to success. Thomas Is suro that after his men lutvo had n week or so on tho diamond they will como forward with a rush. Roy had been doubtful, up to Saturday, of tho ability of tho outfield to mcasuro up to tho standard of tho other plaers. Howovor, with Howard Berry switched to centrcfleld, tho Red and Blue dofent.o was vastly strengthened, for, though a brilliant tnfleldor, Berry plays any position on tho ball field far better than tho averago collegian. Moran Likely to Stand "Pat" Judging from tho way tho regulars of 1915 havo been playing during tho training season, Pat Moran is likely to begin the season with the samo team, with ono possible exception, that ho put In tho field at tho neglnnlng of tho Phillies' first victorious campaign. Stock may go in right away at third base, but that is probably tho only change that local funs will see when tho champions lino up against tho Now York Giants at Broad and Huntingdon streets on April 12. Wilbur Good, the ex-Cub, la doing well In tho outfield, but it does not up- m poor mat nis worn nas warramca nis replacing jjoae i-asicerr, tno oniy ono or. tho outfield trio who Is In tho slightest danger or sitting on tno bench. Their five successive victories over Tinker's Cubs havo g:cn the Phillies a "" lot of added confidence. Their play in those games, too, has proved beyond ques 'tlon that Moran has dono splendid work In getting tho Phillies in shapo for the oponing of tho National Leaguo season. Clubmen Preparing Athletic Carnival William H. T. Huhn, tho famous polo player and court tennis champion; Cameron Buxton, ono of this city's greatest golf exponents, and Lawrenco C. Fuller, tho organizer of tho Interclub Baseball Leaguo In this city a dozen years ago, are planning a return snorting match with the famous Chevy Chaso Club, of Washington, to bo staged hero early In May. This will bo tho greatest Intercity club athletic competition that this city has over seen. The plan la to hold a sorles of contests between tho best golf, tennis nnd baseball players of the Racquet Club and the stars In the same sports of tho Washington organization. As virtually every great player In theso three sports In this city's clubs Is affiliated with tho Rucquet Club, this means that tho pick of Philadelphia's clubmen will bo pitted against an equally strong team from the nation's capital. Huhn, as a tennis star, will havo the duty of selecting tho team for his com petition; Buxton will havo tho cholco of tho golf men, and Larry Fuller tho base ball team. In tennis this city will havo, besides Huhn, rnich men as Potter, Brooke, Bill Clothier and Charley Jennings, whllo In tho golr llno-up will be Frank Komblo, Hugh Wllloughy, Ned Atherton, W. P. Smith, J. D. Holloway, Allan Smith and other clever players. The baseball team will havo In its line-up Allan Smith, captain; Dan Hutch inson, George Elltlns and a group of other men. The big series will bo staged on May 13 at the Philadelphia Country Club. This does not conflict with the regular Interclub Baseball League schedule. About forty athlotes will bo on tho Philadelphia team, and the samo number will come from Washington. That city will havo on Its team Bill Boyburn, son of the former Mayor of this city, and Viscount Henri di Slbour, a ramous all arour"! athlete. Morrlsette Looks Like Star Slabster Morrlsette, ono of Connlo Mack's promising pitchers, has everything neces sary but the disposition. Morrlsette Is not a trouble-maker nor Is he a rowdy. Ho is a splendid youngster, who takes care of himself, but he does not take the game seriously enough. Mack believes that Morrisetto will learn that base ball is a serious business and will develop into a star. One great thing In Morrisetto's favor is his ginger. He is on tho go all the time. He never gets tired and is very strong. He loves baseball, too, possibly too much, and that may bo why he cannot take it seriously. Mack has handled pitchers of Morrisetto's type before and has got excellent results. Morrlsette has tho natural ability and mora experience than any of the youngsters. It re mains to bo seen whether Mack gets tho benefit of it. Nabors will bo the last of the young pitchers to acquire the necessary bal- once. He needs a great deal of fielding practice before he can bo depended upon. At the present time Nabors Is such a poor fielder that he may often beat him- I fklt after pitching a beautiful game. fir Indian Guvon Natural Southpaw Batsman i , - - - - I Although Joe Quyon, whom Connie Mack Is looking over at Daytona, Fla., is a right-handed thrower, he is a natural left-handed batsman, never having hit from me otner siae or tne plate. He never played baseball at all until three years ago, but like the usual run of aborigines, he picks up anything that savors of athletics In a remarkable manner. Guyon Is wonderfully fast, as Phlladelphlans will remember if they Just brush away the cobwebs and recall a few of his thrilling open field runs at Franklin Field. In a recent college track meet at the Passagrllle Carnival, Just outside of St. Petersburg; Guyon was entered in Jhe meet as a representative of Keewatln Academy, He was the only Keewatln lad entered, but he won the team trophy for his school by capturing six first places and a pecond In seven events. It will be recalled that shortly after Jim Thorpe had been declared a pro fessional, Glenn Warner wrote an article for a monthly magazine In which he said that the next world's champlon'all-round athlete alto would be an Indian and picked Joe. Guyon for the honor. SIX IN A ROW, CRY OF PHILS IN CUB SERIES Rhoades and Fortune to Do Pitching for Moran at Tampa FINAL GAME TOMORROW ill o Bluff Cormpontient ST. PUTKltSBPUO.

Ono of tho oddest plays In the history of bacchall oc curred In tho Athletics-Brooklyn contest yesterday Oldrlng was batting in the first Inning when I'fefCer cut a fast ball straight over tho heart of tho plate Old ring quickly turned to Umpire lllgler nnd hturtod to kick To tho nmnzement of the crowd Itlgler sent him to first base. The fans could not understand tho play, but last night Bill Klem, Blglcr's running mate, explnlned tho play. Here Is Klem'a version "Just as Oldrlng stnrted to swing at tho ball Catcher McCarty. who was htandlng too closo to tho plate, tipped Oldrlng's bat with his glove. Oldrlng was wideawake and claimed tho bnso. which Itlgler was forced to give. In nil my career as an umplro I ha.e seen the samo play como up but once, and that was when I first broko Into the National League Frank Bowcrman, who has been out of tho league almost 10 years, had a hnl)It of pulling the trick in a pinch, but alwas got away with It until Bob Emslle called him one day "As a rule, players will kick to tho catcher when they think tho catcher pulls this play deliberately, and forget that the umplro's attention should bo called to It. lllgler tells mo that lie neer saw tho play before, and I doubt If It has como up moro than once or twice In the history of the game " Another odd feature of the play Is ob tniaed by looking at it from the scorer's standpoint. There Is nothing in the scor ing rules to cover tho point. It is certain that the batsman cannot bo charged with a time at bat, jet he has not reached first babe by being hit by a pitched ball, a sac rlllco or on four balls. There also Is no way to account for the Interference In the box score or pitching records, ns thero Is nothing In tho scoring rules covering this point. Klem Is not so sure that the play ing rules cover the point with men on bases He says he really does not know what would become of the base runners It there were any on bases at the time.

Tho Athletics really showed slsna of Improvement In tho first gAtno against Brooklyn, There Is ntlll room for greater Improve ment nnd ono or two chanitcs will ho necessary boforo tho Mackmen will bo In good enough shapo to put up a utrcmloui fight against American Leaguo teams. However, the general work of the team yesterday, barring ono Inning, was much better than It has been to date. One Inning tn which tho Dodgers tattled nix runs, only one ot which was earned, nppeared to awaken tho Mackmen nnd thorcaftor they played excellent bnll Threo inlsplays wero mado nftcr tho six run Inning, but tho men went after tho ball as It they really meant to get It, nnd displayed a dash nnd snap which heretofore had been sadly lacking. Mlnot Crowell was tho victim of tho six-run affair and waB really responsible, for a Inrge part of his trouble, though ho would havo gotten awny with but ono run If his mates had dono their part. Crowell pitched well enough, although he did not havo ns much stuff as he has shown to dato. Tho young man has tho proper pplrlt, however, nnd last night asked Hnrry Davis to nllow htm to opposo tho Dodgers again today. Davis told him that he Intondt to start "Chief" Myers on tho mound, but may allow him to work tho last four Innings. Tom Shcehan, who was Injured Satur day, and who was thought to havo been badly hurt, took up tho pitching burden In the sixth nnd tho Dodgers went score less during tho remainder of tho gamo.
