that wus en tough assignment te draw. The Quaker yearlings have a re
markable quintet and It was n nieial victory for the Catholic youths when
they put up a geed battle.
The only ether reverse registered during the pensen was by Lancaster
High. The decision In this contest went te the tobacco county boys after two
extra periods, in which eleven personal fouls wcTe called en Markward's ath
letes and three regulars sent from the court. Lancaster High afterward apolo apelo apole
gised, fe that the defeat can scarcely be counted ngainst the record of the
Purple and Geld.

Champions Called Great Fighting Team
IN HIS twenty-one years of coaching MaTkward has turned out many great
players, among them Jee Fogarty, the Eastern League phenem who is
assisting new in tutoring the Penn five; Rube Cashman and Jack Glascott,
both.ef whom arc new playing with the K. of C. in Atlantic City ; Tem Dun
leavy, Phil Douglas and Charley White.
, "I hnve often been asked," said the veteran coach, "te compare this
year's team with these of the past, but such a comparison would be unfair.
The rules have changed and years age the teams were made up of bigger and
elder bejs. But I want te Bay I have seen many championship basketball
teams, but never have I handled n team that had mere fight and sheer pluck
than the present one. They play their head off from the beginning of the
game te the end, and then ask the score.
"I have seen Catholic High Scheel teams win many exciting games and
les them, tee. I remember one game in particular that was a heart-breaker.
It was back In 1008. We had tied Central High for the championship nnd
decided te play off the deadlock in a single game. It would have been my first
title.if we bad wen it. The game was played at the National A. C. and the
hall was parked. It was a game fitting te the occasion. The two teams
' Were se evenly matched that the score
it was necessary te play an extra period. Harry Fritz beat us with two
feel goals."
,Tlie next year there was a three-cornered fight, with Catholic, Central
and Southern all battling for the crown. It was Southern's first appearance
aa a high school contender, the institution having opened in the fall of 1007.
The downtewners turned out nn exceptionally geed team, with Allen Murphy,
Harry Mazer, the Coegnn brothers and the late Fred Freed as stars, but
Markward's quintet landed the championship.
! This year's team will be remembered long by Catholic High followers.
Bin Legan and Frank Coffey, the forwards, ure snappy fighters, geed fleer
players and accurate shots. Vince McNally Tanks with the best centers, and
the guards, Harry Clifferd and Joey Maxwell, are without peers in thiH city.
Tha team will compete in the Penn tournament this week and should make a
geed showing. Markward will make no prediction.
ttWT IS an elimination tournament," he said, "and an off day tceuld
fcill our chances of coming through te the final."

Ice Palace and Meadotvbreok Meet
KEOENTLY we revealed the plight of the Meadowbrook Club in Its effort
' te obtain a hall in this city lnrge enough te stage the Indoor track nnd
"fieW games. Samuel J. Dallas, secretary of the Wnnamaker organization,
In a letter te this office complained that unless Council kicked In with n help
ing financial hand the big carnival would go te New Yerk. It was pointed out
that the absence of n convention hall here and the enormous cost necessary te
quip ether buildings for the meet would force the Meadowbrook authorities
either te eliminate the games entirely or rent the Madisen Square Garden in
New Yerk.
Geerge F. Pawling, president of the Ice Palace, raises hip pen in pretest.
He claims thcre is no place In New Yerk or Philadelphia that compares with
the Ice Palace as a suitable site for the Meadowbrook meet. Allowing space
for the track, straightaways, jumping pits and weight circles, Pawling states
there still will be room for COOO spectators. His letter in part follews:
"Philadelphia, Feb. 7, 1022.
"Next Tuesday night we will celebrate the second annlversnry of the
opening of the lee Palace, the greatest sports home in Philadelphia and in
many respects the greatest U the world. There is no building equipped for
holding the full program of indoor sports like the Ice Palace.
"The main auditorium is 2T0 feet long by l.ri7 feet clear span. The prin
cipal fleer space is 221 by 101 feet, and is generally used for Ice skating, in
cluding all sports played en ice skates, all games played en roller skates,
dancing, boxing, track nnd field games, basketball, Gaelic football, ttc.
"Amphitheatre seating airangement ten rows deep surrounds the entire
fleer area. Thcre also Is a balcony along the two full sides. As you are
aware, there Is no mere beautifully equipped building for boxing from every
angle. This is net only true en account of tlie large seating capacity, but en
account of our wonderful plant for regulating the temperature of the room,
'the ventilating of the same by electrically driven fans, the lighting of the
Mitlding and its marvelous acoustic properties.
"Then is no place in ,New Yerk or any ether place that can compare

The answer la Billy Markward,
one of the best schoolboy basketball
coaches In the country. Bill has been
at Cntliellc High long enough te be
part of the institution. He has been
tutoring the Purple nnd Geld quintet
for twenty -one years, which seems
enough. In thnt stretch his team has
wen five championships and in almost
every year hes been a contender,
which also seems enough.
Mnrk ward's quintet this season
is entitled te the championship of the
city. The Purple and Geld bas
Urteers landed the title in the Cath
olic League without the less of a
game, nnd in addition defeated Seuth
1'hlladclphln, the winners of the In In
terschelastic Public High Scheel
League. Thus, by the process of
elimination, Catholic High today can
claim the championship of Billy
Penn's city, und back it with a geed
argument.
The team's record te date is sev
enteen victories and two defeats. The
Inst twelve wins have been consecu

fTIHE final game in the Cricket Club
Soccer League will be plnyed next
Saturday afternoon at Moorestown.
The contesting elevens are Philadelphia
C. C. Whites nnd Moorestown, a,nd
there is every likelihood that the crick
eters will win the championship ei the
League by playing that game.
The Chestnut Killers drew un en
even terms with Gcrmnnfewn en Sat
urday by scoring n decisive triumph by
0 goals te 0. This victory added two
points te their total of fifteen nnd
placed them en even terms with Oer Oer
mnntewn, which has seventeen. The
latter has finished its schedule, how
ever, but the Cricket Club seccerlsts
still have one game te play.
Beating Moorestown en the hejne
loam Is no ensy assignment, but n divi
sion of the points Is nil that Is' required
te capture the championship of (he
Cricket Club League. The Chestnut
Hlllers completely outplayed Penn en
Raturdav, scoring four goals In the first
half and two in the Becend. '
Cup Results
Six gnmes were scheduled in the Al
lied Cup competition, but only three
were decided, the ether trio of con
tests being called off owing te the un
favorable ground conditions. . These
canceled were Ilardwick & Magee-Glen
Secial. Eden -Clever and Ilritlsh Wnr
Veterans nnd Viscose.
Autecar eliminated Nativity from the
competition by scoring a clean-cut ."-te
2 victory. The nutnists secured n 2-te-0
lead at tlie end of the first half en n
pair of counters by I. Tayler. euNlde
left. Plav In the second hnlf was ex-
citing and the churchmen mnnaged te
score twice te once for Autecar. The
playing of Penrce at goal for Nativity
was a feature of the contest.
The Flelsher Yarncrs had little trou
ble In defeating Sunshine, fl goals te 1.
The Industrial Icaguc champions took
matters easy throughout, as they were
far superior te their rivals, who are a
member of the Allied Third Division,
northeast section. Flelsher tallied twice
in the opening round nnd tinder pressure
hit the net for a quarrct of goals in the
concluding half.
Puritan, of the First Division, had
little opposition with Franclsville and
wen a one-sided fray, C goals te 1. The
work of Halgh, who made three of his
team's markers, was a feature of the
play.
Phils lilt Stride.
The inclusion of Heward Brittan in
the line-up of the Philadelphia F. C.
virtually made a new team out of the
local American Leaguers. These who
braved the elements te see the Phils
down Fall Hlver, 5 te 2, marveled at the
wonderful Improvement in the play of
the Vv'alderlte with the Chelsea star
On the side lines.
At no time were the New Englnnders
dangerous, due te the remarkable man
ner in which Hrlttnn led his team and
fed his front liners, ne also scored two
of his team's goals nnd his pnssing was
responsible for several or the ethers.
The records of the -American League
are a tribute te the prowess of flrltta-n.
Although he had been en tlie side lines
since December 10. he never relinquished
his place at the head of the scorers, and
he boosted bis total with a pair mere en
Saturday, and there is little chnnce of
any one giving him any kind of a run
for scoring honors.

years the smiling Seuth Phlladelphlan
has been showing in preliminary com

will enter the spetglare as n headliner.
Iiurman'n brilliant battle recently
against Dan'l Kramer, that powerful
puncher, when Hebby net only upwt the
dope by being among. these standing at
the finish of eight scheduled rounds, but
also displayed such line form there were
many who believed he was entitled te
nt lenst a draw, bestowed much prestige
en Eddie Hayes' scrapper. .
His debut ns a wind-up performer
will be )i return bout with Kramer, and
this time Ilurman, who probably 'will
enter the ring with n let tnere con
fidence, m expected te give Danny even
a harder scrap. Eddie, the "Nig," will
handle Ilurman ngainst Kramer in the
final fracas of nil all-bantam program.

known In his home town of Pittsburgh
as "Hnppj," will help introduce (Jene
Tunney te local fans as America's
light-heavyweight titleholder. Tunuey
scored a knockout ever J nek Clifferd in
New Yerk Saturday night in his first
bout ns the new clinmnlen-' siuce de
threning Battling Levinsky last month.
Wcnzel Is coming en heralded as a
hefty hitting, aggressive and game bat
tler. He has been in the ring for sev

of Pittsburgh te show hii) ' mettle.
BoeRoo lleff, of this city, is bringing
Wenzel te Philadelphia, and he hopped
at the opportunity te match the happy
one with Tunney.
"Wenrel is a rugged battler, that's n
cinch," savs Heff. "lle has steed off

nifdlelim en Saturday night nt the Na

.The lecnl Independent Bnbcsball
TTmplren' Association will meet this
evening te discuss the 1022 baseball
situation and a committee will be in at
tendance from the Philadelphia Base,
ball Association te disenss proposed
methods of handling the umpire situa
tion for the coming season.
The local association has gene en
record or favoring n new deal in re
gard te the assignment of officials for
the games and it is te work out a solu
tion te that problem thnt the conference
will be held.
Heward Donevan, who is head of the
Philadelphia Baseball Association, has
pointed out 'that the managers are In
favor of. freeing the umps from any di
rect connection -with the team where
they are assigned te work nnd the prob
abilities arc that seme one will be se
lected tonight te take charge of the
matter.
It is planned te form nn association,
the same ns in soccer, where the ora era
cials nre all delegated from headquar
ters and no -one knows where n man
has been assigned until he appears en
the field.
It Is mere important for this proce prece
dure in baseball than even in soccer
and several plans hnve been suggested
for tarrying out the new procedure.
In speaking of the matter President
Donevan said :
"Personally I am of the opinion that
there should be unpeinted n wipervlber
of umpires, who will assign them te
games," snld Mr. Donevan. "The Phil
adelphia Baseball Association stands
for fair nnd square ruling of the dia

from all dealing with club managers or
owners, nnd there will be no occasion
ier fans lenvitig their seats in disgust
after a close and important decision
going te the home, team something thaf
eccuried mere than a few times last

"This action resulted from the
knowledge of f.ins and opposing plajcrs
that the arbitrators were paid by the
home team. Their natural conclusion
was that the game was being handed te
the home team and net judged by im
partial umpires."

HAVING carefully sorted out the last
two weeks' mall, nnncrtalntnff te
the heavyweight situation, we are con
fronted with the fifty-fifty aspect of
these two lines of thought
Flrat. Dempsey should meet W11N In
his next fight, as Wills is the only half
wav logical contender left.
Second. Dempsey should net meet
Wills for several reasons. One Is that
attempting te arrange any such fight
might blot out boxing. The ether is that
Jehnsen, as heavyweight champion,
came near wrecking the game.
THE pre end con, with the accent
mainly en the con, seems te be
surging back and forth ever the Demp-se.v-Wlll
debate. The oratory among
fight funs has grown volatile In spots,
but in the case of Dempsey it seems te
be a matter of Wills or vaudeville. Har
ring such time eh he mny take off te
shadow box with himself.

TRENTON IN THIRD PLACE
rpiID race for the second half pen-
-I- nant in the Eastern Basketball
League premises te be a hectic one be
tween the three firt-t-dlvlsinn clubs
Camden, Trenten and the Celtics, of
New Yerk.
Around these diggings, sentiment
favors the Camden Skeeters, and every
thing considered, the Seuth Jerseymen
are at present playing the best game of
any of the first-division teams.
Camden nnd the Celts ere deadlocked
for the lead, having lest but ence In
eight start, while Trenten is close be
hind, being beaten twice in ten games.
The deadlock will be broken en
Wednesday, nt Crtmden, when the
Cclta play the Skeeters and all eyes
nre focused en the content, ns a victory
for the Helm-Corsen. combination will
give thm t-ole possesien of first place.
The Celth might have been out front
had they been seen in action yesterday,
but the gsme was culled off and next
Sunday they play Coatesville in the
afternoon nnd oppose Camden .at night
in Madisen Square Garden.
Lay-off Hurts
Camden has net been benefited any
by the lay-off of a week. The tenm
has been idle Bince last Wednesday and
nn exhibition or two during the week
or Sunday's scheduled game would
have served te keep the players In
shape.
But tomorrow night captain Rey
Steele will lead his athletes en the
Armery fleer and a strenuous prac
tice sesMnn will be in order. Cnmdcn
Invariablv comes through in the pinch.
a.h.0 CVJ 1s P,a'ln letter ball than
either Trenten or the Celts nnd is ex
pected te be returned a winuer, but
the margin of victory will be close.
The Celts will meet Camden en
equal terms, something teams visiting
New Yerk de net play under. On Cam
den's last Getham vinlt six-Inch bnskets
were used. Nothing was nt ftnke nnd
no objection was raised. This Is be
lieved te have been changed. It must
no or tnere will never be any Camden
Celt gnmeb in New Yerk.
The league should take home action,
however, regarding the net. Few L'at
crn League pln.vem have any objection
te n netthat is a renl net. The .sides
of the Garden cords are all light, but
conditions en the ends are terrible.
The ball is continually out of bounds
as in the college game, play is slewed
up, making the contest dull nnd unin
teresting. It is an unfair advantage
te the team used te such conditions. Ii
the net can be held down lightly en the
sides there is no reason why it cannot
be te arranged at the ends nmi ..
den should refuse te play en Sunday
unless this condition Is remedied,

Concerning Geerge Again
DEAR SIR I saw Carpentlcr meet
Cook In Londen recently, end If
he showed any effects of the Dempsey
battle, It wasn't ln4 evidence. He looked
heavier and stronger than be looked in
New Jersey, and te me he seemed te be
In better shape. He was net even
breathing hard when he knocked Cook
out. He'll never beat Dempsey, but
he'll certainly carry my money If he

He knows tee much and he can hit tee 1
hard for any of .these, It wouldn't sur
prise me, If Dempsey comes ever, te see
them metcned. unrpcntier was meeting
tough ones and taking his beatings when
, na a bill, nnil T don't believe he iU
afraid te risk another, although the
best he could hope te de would be te
stretch the fight from four rounds te
seven or eight. And you can take it
from me. this pair would pack any

Limerick of the Links
A duffer, whose club was no wand,
Put tevenieen balls in the pond,
At a dollar apiece;
Be then called the police
And had the course put under bend
LD J. There would be no disgrace
In a college football player, who
needed the money te pay his way
through college, openly signing up with
n professional team. Which is some
thing eulte different from slipping away
and playing under an assumed name
wtiiie attempting te retain nn amateur
status.' Wasn't it the eminent Avenlan
who once 'wrote, "Under which king,
Bezenian? Speak, or diet"
