Zecrguo Island's 13-6 Victory Over Camp Hancock
Places Local Navy Yard Team in Line for
Service Football Championship
By ROUERT W. MAXWELL

j II) U1U1V.3U.N a league jamnu xooiuuu team enueu me ivis seaaun
A J- Saturday with a clean slate, having walloped Howard Berry's Camp
feni Hanoocfc eleven by a score of 13 to 6
j This victory glvea the local aggregation
cervlca championship along with Great Lakes, Cleveland Reserves and
Camp Greenleaf. As there Is no chance to settle the question of supremacy
on the gridiron, League Island must be placed In the front rank.
Saturday's battle gave Dickson's men a thorough trvout and they
came through with flying colors. They were stacked up apiinst a strong
football team, but showed up strong on the defense and displayed brilliant
form on the attack. Once the Islanders carried the ball 71 yards for a
touchdown without losing It, using line plunges, end runs and forward
piuses In the long march. A stunt like that shows a well-coached team.
However, there were five men who figured prominently in League
Island's victor-. They were Crosetto and Budd, guards, and Simmer, Ilachl
and Yeabsley In the backfield. The backs shot through holes opened up by
Budd and Crosetto, who, by the way. aro the best forwards I havo seen this
year. "Without the guards to get their opponents out of the way. It would
have been tough sledding for the backiield trio.
The game virtually was won In the second period after one of the
longest and most sensational forward passes of the car. With the ball
in mldfleld, Simmer hurled It with nil his might toward the opposing goal
line. The Hancock defense men rushed toward the flying onl and seemed
to be In position for a catch, but Just as It began to drop Yeabsley, who
was running with his back to tho ball, turned suddenly, leaped into tho air
and caught the pigskin with both hands. It was a remarkable piece of
work nnd the Navy star was not downed until he had reached tho 2-yard
line. From there he carried It over in one play.
yEABSLBT was the individual star of the day and planed a game
equal to any individual performance in years. He crashed
through the line for good gains, got his man out of the tray when
some one else had the ball and always came through when one or
two yards were needed to make a first down. On a college team
Yeabsley would be a sensation.
Howard Berry Didn't Have a Chance
HOWARD BERRY didn't have a chance when ho entered tho game. Tho
League Islanders wero on the lookout for him and gave him most of
their 'attention. On every play one or two men went after him, and it be
came necessary to Inflict a 15-yard penalty for unnecessary roughness to
keep the opponents from knocking him down.
League Island had the ball when Berry got Into the game in the third
period. Howard took- his place on the defense and Pearce, seeing him as
If for'the first time, said: '
"So this Is Berry! "What do you think of that? Let's run a play
through him and find out how good he is."
"Give me the ball!" shouted Yeabsley, who plaed with Berry at North
east High School. "PLEASE gie mo the ball."
Xeabsley took It through Berry for a good gain and Ilachl repeated
with another. It seemed as If tho name was being played against Ilerry
and not Camp Hancook. Howard, however, was not in the best of shape
and In a short time a touchdown was shoved over the line.
Then 3erry did some work on his own hook. He did not carry the ball

Thla year, however, his work has been sensational, and ho demonstrated
time and again he Is good enough for any collego team. On Saturday he
tora through the line for good gains, circled tho ends and caught forward
passes. He also caught punts well and always returned the ball for a good
gain. Rote shares individual honors with Yeabsley.

Big Baseball Doings in
ws
H the Peace Conference in Paris
ings In New York and Chicago, there should be plenty of news for our
dear readers this week. There will bo anything but peace when tho mag
nates of the diamond get together, for there Is plenty of work to be done
and baseball men always are peeved when under the leash.
The National League convenes tomorrow 'to elect a president, attach
the tinware to Garry Herrmann and place the skids under Hal Chase for
ever. The election stuff Is all right, for the old, circuit needs some one
' to replace John K. Tener, and the Chase episode will be cleaned up, but
the chances are that Herrmann will continue to sit In the National Com
mission as of yore. Every' year Garry is slated for the forest primeval, but
he always emerges smiling with the best wishes of his brother magnates
on his head. Herrmann got In bad through his alleged weak-kneed stand
ln the Scott Perry case when he allowed Ban Johnson to kick over the
traces and reverse the ruling. But a
se forgotten.
There is likely to be a big surprise when the president Is elected. Every
dope pointed to the selection of John Heydler, but John has been in the
business a long time and is too wise a bird to accept tho Job. Ho Is per
fectly satisfied to go along as secretary-treasurer of the league and allow
seme one else to bump the bumps.
Out In Chicago Harry Frazee will open hostilities against Ban John
son, but there will be no fireworks. Boss Ban Is too firmly Intrenched to
be ousted and Frazee will find himself holding the bag after the first
hour. The other magnates will stand behind Johnson and the meeting will
be calm and serene.
The conferences, however, are qulto Important and the action taken by
the magnates will be eagerly awaited by the fans. The chances are that

Hy CHARLES (CHICK) EVANS
Tlie enthusiastic public reception given
to golf tournaments played for war pur
poses during tho season now drawing
to a close and the golf talk ono hears
jn eAcry hand lead me to look forward
to the greatest incieaso of players next
season which the game cor lias en
joed If one but knew lmw many
thousands of men, women and joung
sters who hao set their hearts upon
owning their first pet of clubs in the
spring, the number doubtless would be
astonishing.
To theso prospective golfers as well
as to players of experience I want to
present tho general statement that It Is
tho swing that does the business rather
than tho club.
Countless prospective golfers have
watched the work of noted professionals
and amateurs, and, w hllo they havo de- I
veloped an enthusiasm for the game, I i
am Buro most of them have a feeling
that golf is comparatively easj.
Underrate Golf
Tho prospective plajer holds the con
viction that if lie will just take hold
ot his club lie can hit the ball where
he will Most beginners approach golf
with a feeling that It is comparatively
simple, because they are swinging a
club at a stationary ball, whereas In
all other games which they have played
heretofoie, such as tennis, baseba'l, etc,
they have had to strike at a swiftly
living sphere. So not unnaturally they
reason striking a stationary ball will
bo easy.
And tlio player who approaches his
ball for the first time with tho lively
expectation of seeing It go speeding off
on a long, arrowy flight certainly is
doomed to some big surprises, as all of
us well know. The beginner who is
going to knock the "cover off the ball"
will learn quickly that a perfectly driven
ball is the result of understanding and
correctly applied practice.
Beginners Careless
Tho quickest thing this plavor will
learn Is that there aro comparatively
few right ways and many wrong ones
When the beginner starts to aslc why
he Is slicing, topping or pulling, he u
at tho stage where the Intricacies of
golf open up vistas of pleasurable an
ticipation. And when he first experi
ences the thrill that follows perfectly
executed shots, golf will have claimed ;
Irrevocably a new devotee ,
With experience born of some under-1
standing, our beginner will understand
that it is not so much a matter of how
many clubs ho uses, and. within certain
limitations, not cv.en which club ho uses
bo long as he uses ono that Is made prop-
erly, balanced and suited to him, nnd,
auovo an, tnat no Knows how to swing
it. The accurate shot la most largely
tho result of a true swing
Leant to Swing
I want to suggest to him or her, who
will make the first visit to a golf course
as a player this coining spring, to play
as frequently as possible at the outset
under tho guidance of a professional or
a really competent player, and lay em
phasis on learning the swing
Once that Is mastered the game will
provo a delightful recreation and the
player's progress will be most rapid.
In my articles to como in the near
future I shall set forth a number of
Ideas which I believe the person who
contemplates golf will find Interesting
and helpful when he actually appears
on tho tee for the first tlma.

First Honors to Frank
ford High Headliner
RODNEY BECK SECOND
By WILLIAM T. TILDEN, 2D
(Runner-up In 1MB Nationals)
IN RATINO the Philadelphia junior
tennis players, first honors must go
to Herman F. Dornholm, of Frankford
High, by a narrow margin over Rodney
Jr. Beck, of Oermantown Academy. It
Ih only tho fact that Dornholm defeated
Beck this year without losing to him
once that he gets the edge. Beck's
record for the season Is superior, and
In a national rating. Beck would lead
Domhelm. This Is purely a Ideal affair,
so the premier position must go to Dom
helm. Domhelm has beaten Beck, Fischer,
Pflngst, Watson and Pcnnock and has
lost twice In local events to Gerald
Emerson, the Orange, N. J., boy, who has
become so popular In this locality. If
Emerson was ranked, and In my opinion
ho really deserves it, ho would he given
n bracketed position with Dornhclm and
Beck for first, since Dornhelm beat Beck,
Emerson twice defeated Dornhelm,
while Beck scored two victories over
Emerson. As thla Is a local ranking
Emerson must be counted out.
Beck's Record
Rodney M. Beck, the Pennsylvania
State Junior tltleholdcr, has victories
lost to Beck and Fischer threo times
over Pennock, two wins over Pflngst,
three over Nichols, two each over Wat
son and Moraran and one over March. 1
I His only defeats are tnose sustaineu at
tno nanas oi uoraneirn. inis is a su
perior season to Dornhelm, but the de
feats cannot be excused or overlooked.
C. B. Pflngst, of Penn fresh, has
three victories over the men ranked
above him, so his case Is clear and easy
to defend. The same Is true of Carl
Fischer, of Lower Merlon, at four. He
lost to Beck, four times to Dornhelm,
but did not play against Pflngst He
scored victories over Pennock three
times, two over Morgan and one each
over Watson and Nichols. Fischer is
tho Pennsylvania State doubles cham
pion In the men's events.
Pennock Is Fifth
S. S. Pennock, rated fifth, beat Nich
ols, Watson, Morgan and March. He
lost to Beck and Fischer three ttlmea
and once to Dornhelm. Andrew Morgan,
at No. C, defeated none of tho ranking
players, but his school record was very
good. He played Beck, Dornhelm,
Fischer and Pennock closo matches, ana
the only logical placement Is following
theso boys.
Soring Wilson, No. 7, Is given his
ranking on his school record, where.
playing No. 3 on the Penn Charter team.
he had a clean slate. E. R. March Is
given No. 8 for the same reason. He
beat all the second and third singles
players In the school league,' among
them Watson. His only defeat was at
tho hands of Watson, but he played no
tournaments and met none of,,the rank
ing Juniors.
Watson Sensation
Charles Watson, 3d, the State boy
champion. Is the sensation of the year.
He started poorly, but by a great rally
In midseason no has a just claim to No,
9. He defeated March, Tatnall, Seltzer,
Gllmore and-Myers, and played all but
two men In the league.
He lost to Dornhelm, but surprised
by taking tho second set and nearly
winning V the match. Ills work has
stamped him as the best boy of his ago
In the city. He Is only fourteen years
old.
Don Nichols, tho last of tho select
group, played so little that It Is on his
close matches with Beck, Pennock and
Fischer, all of which he lost, and his
work against lesser plajers, that I base
my placement. '
