Scries Should Be Staged With Great Care SEDRAN was badly hurt In tho first game In a mlx-up with Ally McWilllams. His head was cut, and it is said thcro were somo slight Internal injuries. With a man so severely used up at tho start of an important scries tho promoters would have done well had they taken somo steps to ascertain tho extent of tho player's injuries and tho possibility of his appearing In tho next gome. From all that can be learned, however, they did" neither, nnd wero amazed when Sedran did not put In an appearance Saturday night. Some of tho players were questioned as to Sedran's absence and their attention called to tho importance of having him appear, but they took tho attltudo that they couldn't get him to play if ho didn't want to nnd that it was nono of their business, anyway. It was said yesterday that Sedran's family raised objections to his basketball playing when ho returned homo Wed nesday night so badly used up, nnd this, together with tho fact that tho cards were out for hla wedding, led tho star to stay away. Jack Linton, of tho Jasper Club, is authority for the statement that Sedran will take part in tho final and deciding game Wednesday night. Both the promoters of the series and the player aro apparently undci estimating the importance of the cago classic, not as a contest, but ns tho leading professional basketball event of tho year. Tho eyes of tho sport-loving public ni o on the Jaspcr Greystdck games and groat care should be exercised In stnging tho series. If Sedran was so seriously injured that ho cquld not appear on Saturday night he is entirely Justified in the course he took. On tho other hand, if ho failed to appear Without Just cause it is patent that ho failed to icallzo tho Importance of his name appearing in the line-up. rpHE league officials owe it to the sport of basketball to put tholr best teams on the floor for this series, 'and they should allow no player to absent himself without Just cause. All Kilbane' s Got Is Stuff and Title JOHN KILBANE, featherweight champion, would not bo known in every latitude and longitude where there is need for a featherweight champion except for one thing, probably, and that "slight tiling" is, he has the title. No defunct cham pion awarded the belt to Kilbane by naming him as his heir, nor was it by accident that the laurels' rest on the little man's curly-haired crown. It Is there because be has all the stuff, and then some. He can give tho other fellow everything that br written under the"head of punching, blocking, footwork, but most of all he can give the enemy a right-hand wallop that is ono of tli- -lost compelling fist pro jections now operating in American rings. J. Kilbane has not won his title and then spent b siting moments Jumping from place to place in order to evado a flock of lessei ' tits nipping at hla heeW for bouts. He cleaned them all up In his class and thcio isn't any nipping being done. When Johnny comvs marching along they all lay low and cease to muimur. He now has to go out of his class to get bouts. He has been fighting lightweights and is anxious to meet Fred Welsh, Benny Leonard and Johnny Dundee, one n Bight, In order to clean up tttat division speedily for the lightweight championship, ettllns the matter beyond the peradventuro of a doubt, ns it were. F)U all his willingness to give n fight to all comers; for all his elegant boxing, his knook-out ability, so popular in other fighters; and for all his great reputatloa as a peerless boxer, Johnny has been getting a touch of the razoo lalely in hli appewancps. Just why so fine a fellow person ' ally as Kilbane is, nnd such a trytng-every-mlnuto-to-please-thc-crowd-' by-fighting boxer as he is, should be the target of scattered booing Is one of ihe most difficult things of the game to analyze. Perhaps Psychology Explains It r? MAY be because the crowd Is always, or moro times than not, against the lop hone. It la tf&d to se tho underdog make a showing. But it seems that the psjchoKgy tt Kitfeane's methods comes nearer home. Ho does not act like the greatest 08 them aft. And Just for that reason It is hard to overcome the linpres ion that he Is not the champion his record proves him. Thoro is an I distinct pulling in the crowd to hive him "shown up." When no ono Is able to, it would eeem that the booing Is somewhat the exproislon of disappointment by many in the rabble. Johnny climbed through the roots at tho Olympla a week ago, tho first ono in the ring, without ostentation of any sort. Ho gave little sign to what cheering was done and went at once to his corner, where ho sat down, removed his bathrobe and sat in plain green woolen tights; no great American flag at his belt, nothing but J. Kilbane, ready and anxious for business. The only one with him was Jimmy Dunn, manager. Kilbane does not play to the crowd in tho slight est degree. Contrast Benny Leonard, all bows, handshakes with every one in sight, much etllc tights, flag, sllk-shlrted crowd in his corner, full of clever grandstand stuff the crowd Is always with him. Kilbane outside the ring '.3 the most sociable and agreeable of humans with his friends and he has a heart as big an a house, as all who know him will testify. ALTHOUGH Kilbane is a knocker-out of prrts,' it Is a well-known fact that he detests administering the sleep-pro'ducer at all times. This attitude does not always meet with the approval of the fans, who like to eec the best man win, and win quick.

M.i rh 27 Henry Haas of Jersey City, a sophomore, has hcon elected captain of tho Ilutners Bsmnnslum team. paying his official visit to the Yankee camp, at Macon, da., thcro was one matter in which ho was moro than Interested. This concerned the averngo age of tho club. This samo rjuory has come up often be fore. Moro than ono noncombatant has nsked from time to tlmo tho avciaga age of a major league squad. Is It under thirty or as far down as twenty-five? The Veteran As somo philosopher has doubtless re marked before. Tlmo has a way of piking jlong night yenrs ngo a youngster broko In with Connie Mack's Athletics. Today ho Is tho Ynnkeo veteran, the oldest mem ber nf the squad, His name is John Frank lin Halter John Franklin Is now thirty, known In somo profoslons as mere youth but In baseball only a few strides this side of the road's end ' ' Tho Yankees are younger than most mnjor leaguo squads, and yet tho elastic dnpo nncnt their ago averago Is an Inter esting matter. Average Arc Taking In the complete squad there ato thlity-thrco Yankees In camp. Their com bined ngo Is 781 yeais, which means an avciago for t,ha cntho squad of twenty thiee yeais and nine months. Quito a num ber of theso aio iccruits who will not bo can led To get closer to tho exact situa tion wo took- tho roster of tho seventeen who wero accounted ns regulars Inst sea son Tho average ago of theso seventeen Is twenty-five yeais and nine months, Just two jeais beyond that of tho cntlro squad In camp today. As lciuarked before, tho Yankees are a young club, and yet their averago Is not greatlv below tho avcragV of many others. Offhand, wo should say that tho averago major leaguo age today was between twenty-six and twenty-seven years, which Is very closo to tho sportive prime. More Vital Statistics Some timn ago wo displayed a set of sta tistics which showed that' the greatest avciago ngo In stardom was around twenty sfX at which age Lnjolo, Wagner, Walsh, Mathowson nnd many others wero nt their best It Is a quaint coincidence that the averago ngo of the major leaguer Is also twenty slv, showing ngaln that for tho trained athlete this ago Is tho prime, proved In two (lhectlons. At twenty-six a man apparently not only has his full strength nnd power, but also sufficient expcrlenco arid Judgment to put this physical power to Jts best use. Ho may be ns good phvslcally at twenty-three Jls ho Is at twenty-six. But at twenty-three he lacks the experience and tho discretion that three additional years of competition bilng The Top Arc Tho Yanks are unusual In not having a ball player over thirty. There Isn't another club In baseball that can show temporal circumstance. nny such In summing up the list of Yankee reeu. ars wo find that while the top age limit Is thirty, the youngest, ago Is twenty-two In tho full squad of thirty-three theto are twenty-throo men who iro twenty.flvo or under and twelve men who are twenty thrco or under. So apparently tho average big leaguer makes his start around twenty-two and Is through around thirty, giving him something llko eight years of service. Thcro nre any number who havo served much longer than eight years, but thoro nro also any number who havo made good at tventy-tvvo and hato then faded out at twenty-six or twenty-slvcn. Slowing Up Somo tlmo ngo we had a talk with a ball player of thirty-two as to when the slowing up process arrived. Ho B'tatcd that In his case he began to lose Just a tilde of his speed at twenty-seven, but that It was not until ho was twcnty-nlno that he finally lenllzcd tho fact. Hut by looking back ho could distinguish an almost Imperceptible slowing up 'that suddenly presented Itself as an established fact, no longer to be doubted. This man was one of the fastest In tho game, so even after ho had begun to loso his speed ho had sufficient quanti ties nf It left to hold his own. It simply began to dawn on him at twenty-nine that ho was losing ccitain hits, being thrown out by a foot or so on Infield taps that He was formeily beating ttut. The football gnmo Is hard to figure, as nineteen. of twenty of those engaged In this sport lcllre from tho gnmo at tho close of tholr collcgo careers, when they aro still short of athletic prime. There aio few football players as old as twenty-six, yet nt twenty-six they would bo nt their best. At twenty-six they would still havo all tho speed and power of youth, with greater stamina, a greater general luggednc'ss and far moro experience. An entry In sport comes to his prim quickly. After this he begins to descend by somewhat slower measure. The ball player who starts his big lcagjis career at twenty-two may come to his best gamo In two or thrco years with 6omethlns of a lush, and then cany the fading out process for eight or nlno years longer. As they movo on In the gamo beyond thhty It is not so much a matter of "heart or nrterlcs or general condition as It is a matter of elasticity and suppleness. At forty a man might havo nil tho vitality ho bad "at twenty-six, but his old elasticity would be missing. He might carry as great a burden, but ho couldn't carry It at any thing llko the samo speed. Ho might walk as far, but ha could never run as fast Yale Five Elects Kinney 1918 Captain NEW HAVEN. Conn., March 27.--Orson Alonzo Klnnev, of Weehawken. N.
