TWO SPORTS SHOW
PROFIT FOR PENOI
Football the Real Moneymaker in
Athletics; Small Gain For
Basketball
Philadelphia, Dec. 16. —The Athletic
Association of the University of Penn
sylvania held its annual meeting last
night, in Huston Hall, with H. Las
fsatt Geyelin, president of the Athletic
Association, in the chair. The reports
of the chairmen of the committees
on the different branches of sport were
read and accepted by the members
present.
The report of Treasurer Rubeson
Lee Perot stated that football and bas
ketball were the only branches of ath
letics which could show a credit bal
ance. Football during the past sea
son, made a profit of $43,269.74, while
basketball presented a profit of
$377.80.
The association during the fiscal
year was operated with a gain of
$347.85 and did a total volume of
business, including the competitors'
share of the gate receipts of $156,-
380.73. The sum available for the as
sociation's own business was SIOB,OOO.
The treasurer as well as the chair
ma nof the football committee, T.
Truxton Hare, acknowledged a mis
take In raising the price for the Navy
game, and were of the belief that pop
ular prices all during the year would
have netted a larger sum.
Mr. Hare also complained of the
conflicting games at other big univer
sities this year, which tended to cut
down the attendance at the Penn
games.
The meeting was expected to bring
forth much discussion regarding the
present football situation, but not a
word was spoken on this subject. It
will be taken up by the new commit
tee, which will be appointed this
week.

LUCKY MOTORCY
'- ■ - ~ V '
If all motorcycle riders were as lucky as J. B. Herman, a charter
member of the Keystone Motorcycle Club, tire manufacturers would soon go
into the hands of the receivers. Herman has never had a puncture since
he has ridden his mount. He is always on the Job when the sociability
runs are observed, and always gets there. In the above etching you will
note that he never uses a light, because he has always been against riding
after dusk. Mr. and Mrs. Herman are both members of the club.
Federal League Stars
Were Mostly Jumpers
Special to The Telegraph
Chicago, Dec. 15. —Buffalo and Chi
cago divide the honors in club field
ing. according to the official averages
just issued, each with a percentage of
.962. There is also a tie between
Pittsburgh and Baltimore, with .960;
with Brooklyn and Indianapolis on
even terms, with. 957. Indeed the
clubs are all well bunched, only six
points separating the leader from the
tail-end club.
The fielding class of the Federals
last season were Carr, of Indianapolis,
who leads the first basemen; Knabe,
Baltimore, second base; Westerzii,
Brooklyn, third base; Tinker, Chi
cago, shortstop, and F. Delahanty,
Buffalo, and Pittsburgh: Gtlmore,
Kansas City, and of the same
club, the outfielders. The best catcher
in the league was Fred Jacklitsch, of
the Terrapins, whose .986 is just two
points better than Blair, of Chicago.
Rarldcn, who missed a fat slice of
culty will be in deciding what cities
would prove the most profitable. In
spite of the fact that both Wilmington
and York quit the game last season
and men back of the teams in that city
lost money, in both these towns plans
are being made for next season. Both
Wilmington and York will be back and
stronger than ever.

Purchase Price Has Not Been
Agreed Upon, but Sale
Is Assured
Special to The Telegraph
French Lick, Ind., Dec. 15.—The
New York American League Club has
been sold to Colonel Jacob Rupert.
The price is about 5*50,000. Colonel
Ruppert will not acquire any interest
In the Federal League.
This is the substance of statements
made here yesterday by Colonel Rup
pert and President James A. Gilmore,
of the Federal League, who conferred
regarding the proposed establishment
of a Federal League Club in New
York.
After the conference Colonel Rup
pert said:
"I have already taken over the
Yankees. The price is the only thing
that remains to be settled. This prob
ably will be $450,000."
"I am afraid we were too late," said
Mr. Giimore, "as Colonel Ruppert al
ready hafe purchased the Yankees. I
shall return to Chicago at once and
try to find another backer for the New
York club. I may interest Pat Hara
ihan and Mr. Seelbach. of Louisville."
Colonel Ruppert said that George

PROMINENT FOOTBALL COACHES
SELECT HONOR LIST FOR 1»14
The January OUTING gives a Foot
ball Honor List, that is, a. selection of
all the prominent football coaches of
the country.
That this manner of selecting the
best players is much favored as
against the selection of an All Star
Eleven by one man is shown by an
article by Alonzo A. Stag, Athletic
director at the University of Chicago,
in the University Daily.
He says, "It is ridiculous for one
man to attempt the selection of an
All Star Football Eleven. It is diffi
cult for a coach to choose the best
| men for his own team. The nearest
approach to justice that could be
[done, would be to Invite the experts
lof each University, to send in their
own individual selections and make a
! composite of the players so named.
This is exactly the method OUTING
adopted four years ago and which
has been followed each year. The
OUTING is the result of direct select
ions made of the Coaches of the differ
ent Universities.
PICK HCGHKY JENNINGS
New York, Dec. 15. —Hugh Jen
nings, manager of the Detroit club,
is the latest prospective candidate for
the management of the New York
Highlanders, under the ownership of
Jacob Ruppert, the brewer. Should
Jennings come to New York, "Wild
Bill" Donovan, who has been handling
the Providence club of the Interna
tional League as a side issue for Frank
J. Navin, will be given charge of the
Tigers. Jennings is believed to be
the man whom Ban Johnson referred
to when he declared, just before leav
ing New York for home, that the
name of the new manager of the
Highlanders would cause something
of a surprise in baseball.
Captain Huston, who is to be as
isociated with Colonel Ruppert in the
ownership of the Highlanders, was
brought into close touch with Jennings
last week by John McGraw.

PNEUMONIA CAUSE
OF TOO MANY DEATHS
Dr. Dixon Discusses the Great Win
ter Scourge and How to
Avoid the Illness
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State commis
sioner of health, is out with a warning
against pneumonia. There is nothing
that is a greater menace in winter
time than this disease and the com
missioner gives advice how to avoid It.
"This is the season when pneumonia
becomes the chief ally of death and
slaughters thousands. During the
changeable weather when winter sets
in and again in the Spring, it's great
est toll is exacted.
"Pneumonia is a ger,m disease; the
minute organism which causes it is
called by physicians the penumococcus.
It is to a certain extent contagious.
However, these germs' are sometimes
found in the throat of perfectly heal
thy persons. When the bodily resist
ance of the individual becomes lowered
through physical exhaustion and this
is followed by exposure in poorly
ventilated rooms, offices, crowded
street cars, local railroad trains or ill
ventilated theaters which are hot beds
for the infection, pneumonia is apt to
result.
"Cold itself is not directly a factor.
In the. Arctic regions the germ does
not exist in the pure frigid air. This
points to one of the secrets for avoid
ing the disease; seek fresh air for
pneumonia is found where it is for
bidden. and sleep with the
windows open.
"Men have more of a tendency to
the disease than women because of the
additional exposure to impure air and
hardships which they must endure
Alcoholism is a factor in many cases.
The man who indulges in much alco
hol is apt to reduce his power of re
sistance and thereby become suscepti
ble.
"Great fatigue should be avoided if
possible for It Is a predisposing factor
in lessening the natural resistance to
this and other disease. If you are ex
posed to rough weather and get wet
and cold, take a rub down with a
coarse towel and change to dry cloth
ing. Above all avoid stuffy, ill-venti
lated places where crowds congregate.
"Many people consider it impossible
to follow this advice at -this season of
the year when the holiday rush is on.
Because it is or seems to be impos
sible for thousands of our workers to
observe these precautions, the grim
figures will head tho mortality tables
for December."

PRESIDENT SPEAKS
ON NEGRO QUESTION
Ready to Do Anything to Bet
ter Conditions For
Race
Hy Associated Press
Washington, D. C., Dec. 15.—Outlin
ing his attitude toward the negro.
President Wilson to-day told the coni
mittee on Southern race questions,
made up of representatives of eleven
Southern colleges, that "our object is
to know the needs of the negro and
sympathetically help him in every wayi
that is possible l'ofr his good and our
good."
Dr. C. H. Brough, of the University
of Arkansas, chairman of the com-1
mission, told the President the com-'
mission was organized to make an im
partial study of the race question from
the standpoint of the negro's economy,
hygienic, civil and moral betterment.
Interested in Work
"I am very glad to express my sin
cere interest in this work and sym
pathy with it," said the President in
reply to Dr. Brough. "I think that
men like yourselves can be trusted to
see this great question at every
angle. There Is not any question, it
seems to me, into which more candor
needs to be put. ore more thorough
human good feeling, than this. X
known myself, as a Southern man,
how sincerely the heart of the South
desires the good of the negro and the
advancement of his race on all sound
and sensible lines, and everything that
can be done in that direction is of
the highest value. It is a matter of
common understanding.
"Our object is to know the needs
of the negro and sympathetically help
him in every way that is possible for
his good and for our own. I can only
bid you godspeed in what is a very
necessary and great undertaking."
