' When asked about the proponed rhnuga In tho admission at tho games In

I j "Rational I.eaguo members have bocn after mo for two yrats to cut down

' "I Intend to fight any movo made by the other magnates, but believe a stien-

- away with tho twonly-flve-cent bleacher entirely, regardless of what the other

' Admissions to about 2000 ncals In tho center and lrt Held bleachers."
Bender Considered for Rochester Managership
PUESIDISNT CI I API N, of tho Rochester International League club, denies that
Larry Lajolo has been selected to manage tho Ilronehos next season. Ho uny.i
that ho seriously Is considering "Chief" liendor nnd Charley Dooln, with chances
favoring tho latter. Ono other club of tho liairow circuit H anxious to get
XJendor, who lias Mannger Moron's permission to dicker, providing hrv gets a
- managerial position. Newark was after another Philadelphia!), but having fulled
to land him, Jim Prlco signed tho veteran Tom Ncedham to guide tho Indians.
; Mitchell Held bu Three-Year Contract
GEOHGK RTAL,I,INGH'9 three-year contract with Krcd Mitchell Is nil that stands
botwoen tho veteran coach nnd tho managerial post In Chicago. Mitchell
officially has been offered the position, notwithstanding reports to tho contrary,
"and U here watting for his unconditional release from tho Ilruvcs before signing

Proposed Changes In World's Series Plana Good
THE suggestion by Carry Herrmann nnd sovcral other National League mag
pates that tho world's scries be played under entlroly different conditions In tho
future Is not n bud. Idea, According to a statement mado by Herrmann before
."" the league went Into session today, he suggests that, Instead ot playing four out
ot seven gamys, the series be oxtended to live out of nlno. In this wuy, Herrmann
thinks, nnd very properly, many moro fans will bo ablo to seo thu games
4 than under tho present arrangement, when tho aeries rarely extends over
lx games and which has not exceeded flvo since tho famous Giants-Red
Box clash In 1913. Another good suggestion mado by Herrmann wus that the
'""W prices bo lowered. No doubt a j?reat deal of the scandal attending all world's
"; series games would be eliminated if tho number of games was extended and
- the prices lowered.
M Division With the Clubs Not In the Scries
HEIUlMANN'tf Idea of having the players of the winning teams In tho Amorlcnn
nnd National Leagues split up their -world's series money among the playera
of the Clubs finishing second, third and fourth Is not a particularly brilliant ono.
There would be a lot of dlisatlsfactlon rauscd among tho men belonging to tho
clubs In the second division If that wero the case, While It seems hard that only
tho winners of the two leagues should share In tho world's scries, there Is nn
-v ' more reason why tho second division players should be excluded than that the
first division clubs be Included.
Penn Rose in Basketball First
- ' " "ftTHAT Hob Folwell did or the Pennsylvania football team this year Lon
VV Jourdet did last season on tjie basketball court. For soma years the Red and
Blue was cm. lamentably weak at the Indoor game as she was at the gridiron
nastlme. Not only have these two men brought Penn to tha forn in t..,
li'?t 'branches of athtettcs, but Indications
''; .respectiva charges at the top Sn football and basketball. Last year Jourdet
A , van an experiment at coaching, Just as Folwell was this year, He proved him-
, self more than equal to the occasion by turning out n team that won the Inter-
. colteslate championship from material 'which was not at all Impressive for its
. excellence. Jourdet sent a team against Urelnus in the opening game last Bat.
UTday night which is just aa good as tha five that represented Penn In 1316-16.
This means that If I'enn does not repeat Its victory of last season, the reason
-. wilt ba due mora to tha Improvement of Yale and Princeton than to any deterlora-
"Uon l the ranks of the TVest Philadelphia collegians.
De Neri'a Poor Showing Hurts Basketball
il. 1 !T,HH Poor showing of the l5e Nerl. Eastern league, basketball team this season
-t-has unquestionably hurt the cage game. However, the Interest In this sport
$n Philadelphia Is so deeply rooted that its popularity will not be materially
iyientc4 in splto of the fallura of Bouthwark fans to stand by tho Musical Funders.
Followers of basketball In the vicinity of Eighth and Locust streets have been
us loyal an any one could reasonably expect. Hut a management cannot hope
that the tcam'd rooters will atana for
. j latently as He Neri has this year. Manager Amorose BUdley's team has won
but on same nnd the team. Is worse now than It was nt the beginning of the
tswuson. Therefore, If the rumor that the franchise haa been sold Is true, It
Wilt be a good thing for basketball in general and the Kastern League In par.

They vvero very much Hurprlncd when,
nfter helng ciiiestloned, I nnawered that I
nover had tried liny other event than run
ning Unlln, for Inrtanco. uxed to lie nn
all-around mnn and wan fairly good In this
event, hut Ilia best cve.nts were tha middle
rikitnnces and tho hrond Jump.
Tho Swedes seem to luve nil good rec
ords on Iholr boohs, nnd. In fnct. In nenrly
overy event their marks lire an good no
thoso held by tho men In thla country. I
cannot nee how they can lie proficient In
numerous events from what I van- of their
men Of course, wp struck thero In tho
off se.inon and few of their men were In
real good shape, hut jtint the n.imo. In some
ranen I could not .ien a flash of champion

Toko their sprinters, for Inntnnre. The
Kwfldlth record fur tho 10 meters In 10 5
seconds, whllo the Olymplo time was the
nam, l.luilbcrg, the .Swede, who holds thin
limit ran In tho 100 meters when wa were

lino style. Ai I say, they were not In
good shape nt tho time. I.lndberg having
just come back from military duty ; but he
did not look to mo like the man to do 10 4-S
seconds.
High Class Jumpers
On tho other hand, they hsvn In other
events a host ot men nil of whom are doing
close lo record performances. Jn the high
Jump, brouil Jump and hop, step, Jump
lUerlbers can boast or nearly a doten men
who aro doing ss well as the boys In this

Kulleratrand, nn of his best high Jump

of n good high Jumper, but ho gets the
height, which Is Iho necessary Ihlnr The
inlddle-dlHtnuro and distance runners ur
the bent bunch that they can boast of, for
In Ilollu, Zander and Melen they have three
men who can show fine performances In
any distance from the half mile to 1500
meters, '
Both Itolin and Zander have done 1.S5 for
the half, under four minutes In the ID00
meter rncn and weie running nlane at tha
time. Helen Is Just a young and green
runner who, In my opinion, will be the best
ot the lot In another 5 ear or two. At
present he Is attending college and does not
get- the training that tho other two re
celve. '
No College Coaches
night here I would like to mention that
the college men do not pay very much atten
tion to track work, and none of the unl
versltlea has a coach to direct Its work.
Thla Is a thing to which they have paid
little attention. The studants who enter
the universities try to finish in as short a
time as they can and thty alt try for special
scholastic honors and put sport In the back
ground until later years.
I think HJertberg has one of the best. If
not the best, pole vau Iters In the world,
Ollle, who finished third to nabcock tn
19 U, ha oo me along since then, and now
is a finished Jumper- While wa were In

Inches. This would be a wonderful per

and with lots of competition, but to clear
this height In the sold weather and with

He tried for the world' record that sane
day and Jut missed It by a fraction.

Greys' Great Finish
In Trenton last night tha Qreyetock five
forged ahead of the enemy In the cloalng
minutes of play and nosed out the home
club, ST to SI, It was due largely to the
fine work of Ray Cross, who Is getting to be
a perennial star at field and goal shooting,
The Greystock guard held Doc Newman to
a pair of field gouls while he hlmeelt came
through with six. It must bo said, how
ever, that Newman played en excellent
floor game, and Cross had all he could at
tend to In keeping up with the former Da
Nerl forward
Klnkalde. who declared some time ago
that he would never don a basketball uni
form, was In the Trenton line-up, Although
he has not been playing In the Kastern
league this season, Dudley's old guard did
very well and showed that It will not take
long to get back to the form which made
htm In times gone by one of the moat de
pendable men that ever played on the De
Nerl five '
Manager Joe patley stood pat on his regu
lar II no. up. Since last Friday night, when
Trenton defeated the dreys at Cooper Hall
because Mike AVItson was substituted for
Jack Lawrence, It has apparently become
evident to the Orey management that the
shift should not be repeated. In their ef
forts to stave off defeat in their home cage,
the Trenton team used seven players.
