Hay was rough because that was the

frustrate the scoring ability of one

KItiley Comes Down
In the first half when it was seen Hint
the Potters had planned a campaign to
elimlnntc Holinnn, the signal was given
invariably for Elmer Itlplcy to coniu
down the floor. He scored three times
on tins piny, because ho had little op
position. When he managed to jluUe
Eddie White his only hindrance to the
basket was n possible encounter with
Tommy Harlow, who did halt Mm on
numerous occasions.
Kcnrns wns glued to Ilolmnn and it
wns impossible to get him away. He
would not oven nttemnt tn stnn ltlnlpv
LAvhen he entile down nnd never attempted
to piny tno imu. "Stretch" Median
evidently forgot nil about Ripley toward
the finish and tlmo and again it was
possible to count had tho slgnul for
Ripley been played to advantage.
The Trenton management expected
Uernle Dun to show up, but Burnie did
not put in nn nppearnncu nnd Tommy
Ilnrlow had another chance. Dunu,
however, will be on hand when Trenton
travels to Heading this evening nnd he
will get into tho line-up nt guard. Last
night's game was rough in spots nnd
more than twenty-two fouls were com
mitted, but tho (' necessarily were not
tho offenders, as they had possession of
tho ball and the team with the ball can
hardly mnko any fouls unless they do
n marathon.
First Half Close
The score nt the end of the first seven
minutes wns (Jermnntown, 2; Trenton,
0 ; on fouls. At tho conclusion of thir
teen minutes it was 5 to 2 in fnvor of
(Jermnntown', nnd the hnlf concluded

and Trenton forged away ahead at 10

chances to take tho lead, but failed to
take advantage when it meant goals and
other shots simply i oiled in and out of
tho net.
Tho. finnl goal went to Hlpley with
about three minutcx to piny. No score
was made by cither side in tho closing
minutes nnd fJoorgc Normnn gave a
great exhibition of "freezing" the ball,
much to the delight of the home fans.

Cliirngo. .Tun. IB. A petition
testing against the employment of
Judge Kenesaw 51. Lnndis ns national
baseball commissioner has been prepared
by Thomas V. Sutherland, n Chicago
lawyer, nnd sent to members of Con
gross from Illinois, it was learned to
day. In a letter to Chicago nowspnpers
informing them of his action. Mr.
Sutherland is said to have urged thnt
they "comprehend the importance of
this petition, nnd called their attention
to this nttempt to mulct the government
and also to set nn example of vicious
infidelity to public service."
The petition demands notion relative
to Judge Landis serving both as n judge
nnd an ngont of the baseball commission.
Tt seeks to show thnt the judge in ac
cepting an annual snlnrv from the unse
ball commission of $42,500 a year,
while drawing a salary of $7."00 a year
as federal judge, Is acting in violation
of tlie spirit of statutes preventing u
government officer from engaging in ie
nuinerntivo private enterprises.
"Judge Lnndls." snys Mr. Suther
land in his petition, "by his contract
with the leamies has attempted to bar
ter nwny what belongs to the govern
ment nnd nil the noonle. to nu organi-
ntion of n special few, and to receive
therefrom an office of profit In direct
violation of the mandates of the con
stitution and laws.
"1'nfoituiintely, it hns been done
publicly and ostentatiously, with nil its
vicious' and demoralizing influences;
and if his conduct is to remain unchal
lenged by Congiess it will become nn in
centive t lawyers of a certain class to
seek appointments to the federal bench
with the purpose pnrtly of doing pre
cisely what he has done, to its degradation."
When told of the petition, juuge
Lnndls, said :
"I looked in ktf tilings well before no
cepting this basT-bnll work. I feel that
I did right in accepting the place of
fered to mo."

First Long Ono
The first gnmo wns n long douce affair,
aking fully ten minutes to be played.
Soutnr finally took this game by driving
Into the dedans, although Fairs had
several service nces, Soutnr put on
sliced nnd took the second game nt love,
but Fairs ciiine hack and nnnexod tho
third by driving cleverly into tlie dedans,
although he lost several easy chances to
score.
Soutur uncorked n lot of sneeil In
the fourth gnnie nnd won it by driving
several times for nces Into the comers.
Soutnr incrensrd his lend by winning
the fifth gnnie to love, getting one on
the grille. The sixth nnd seventh
gnmes went toxFuirs, Snulnr double
faulting on service nnd fulling to bundle
Fairs' well placed shots. The eighth
game vvhldi Soutnr won wont to deuce.
.Fairs lost his chance when is rnciitrt

Soutnr nn easy kill.

came to himself nrd by wonderful shoot

out to 1." nu dwllli it took tlie first set.
Many Interested
l'levntors bulged with sportsmen so
cially prominent, nnd there wns n
never-ending parade of those eager to
see this curious gnmo of court tennis
up the innrblc stuirensos of the exclu
sive Itaciiict Club shortly before game
time. Heavy overcoats, mufflers and even
nrctics were the essential articles of
diess. The huge nnd gloomy court wns
bathed in sunlight filtering through the
glass toof high overhead, the sunshine
of a perfect winter day, which was In
fine contract to the light of tlie other
days in the tournament. The court,
which from the seats behind tlie cnge
liko galleries resembles n great, deep
swimming pool without wnter, is un
hcated. Spectators gathered curly as
Soutnr and Fairs, in turn, tried out
some of their choice shots the hnrd,
vvhlto cloth ball smacking hollowly
ngnlnst the high wulls of the nrenn,
often bringing benttered applause before
tlie match from tlie scuts, which have
been selling as high ns SIl.", apiece for

buttle wns to rush the short-winded
Fnlrs off his foot with his punishing

This was demonstrated in tlm t final
game against Toronto when the Cun
iiillun intercollegiate clilinipious won in
the finnl minute of play by .'! goals to 2.
When the schoolboys who were
turned nwny from tho High School
Leacuo cumes yesterday woko up this
morning and ascertained the results of
the contests they had two big surprises
In storo for them. Northeast High
trailed West Philadelphia High in the
i dust In one gnme. Central High took
the measure of Southern In another.
Page the scribes who predicted that
Southern High would repent in this
year's rare for tho Dutch Co. trophy 1
Tho Central High fnns hnvo a fevy pert
questions to nsk. So have the North
east High youngsters. School basket
ball was turned topsy-turvey yesterday
nnd ns n result there arc now four
teams tied for first -lnco in the leaguu.
West Philndelphln, lending with two
games won and none lost, dropped from
this exalted position to tho level with
Northeast High, (Jermnntown HWi and
Central. (Jormnntovvn High defeated
Frankford High, :i(i to XI, in a game
which started into nml eiiuocl lnie.
Central registered a 24 to 18 victory
over Stnniliern Tlish. while Northeast
piled up a score of HO to 20 points
ntrninst Wiwt PMInilplnMn.
Whether it was West Philadelphia's
confidence or whether Northeast was
unusually brilliant, tho fact remains
thnt the Lehigh avenue youngsters ran
in tlie Inreest score of the nfterilOOIl
in the league contests. The margin of
victory wus ten points. Hill, ns usunl,
performed in line style. Schwartz and
Sliune ulso had much to do with the
victory.
Tlie West Phillies had their regulars
in notion. Hucknlevv, Klllott, Steven
son, McNichol nnd Captain Sweet all
played the best they knew bow, but It
wns Northeast's day. Northeast had a
largo following nnd tho ndvantnge of
playing in the home gymnasium. North
east ulso had the advantage of having
Hill, who not only scored ten foul
goals but made three field goals, n total
of sixteen points, mil s piaying u
boon the feature of Northeast's work
during tlie Inst week. Opponents seem
to be unnble to stop this youngster.
The West Philadelphia reserves won
the second team game, but ns the saying
goes, it doesn't mean anytmng wncn
the first team loses their first league
inntcli. It wns the first team game
West Philadelphia had counted on
winning to make it three straight in
tlie league.
Central High's victory over Southern
wns also unexpected. Just before the
game the Central plnyers were given a
little talk and they played their best
gnme of the season. Lnzar nnd Purdy,
the forwnrds, worked splendidly. Kuuf
mnn nnd Trachtenberg, of football fame,
showed they knew a few pointers In
basketball. Central players fought hard
and deserved to win, but they did not
know that on neighboring floors the
v..liniiot Ulirli nml Oermantown High
plnyers were evening things up in the
league.
Prinmlu: Central worked hard to de
feat Friends' Select School and certainly
