VINCOME A. C. NEXT BASKETBALL ATTRACTION-OTHER LATE SPORT HAPPENINGS VINCOME HERE SATURDAY NIGHT Lost to Independents Last Sea son by Close Score; Locals > to Play at Huntingdon The Harrisburg Independents line up Saturday night against one of the best teams on their schedule when they play the Vincome five of Phila delphia. This team is In the same class as the Garnets, who defeated the locals Thanksgiving night. Vincome lost to the home tossers i last season by one point In an extra flve-minute period and are coming back for revenge. ' They have already | twice defeated Shamokin, whom the ! Independents played in the opening j game on the Shamokin floor. The glass backboard which the In- | dependents had installed for last Sat- 1 urday night proved impracticable, for i it broke when the ball was thrown j against it before the game, and was I replaced by tbe wooden board. Plans j are now being made for a screen | backboard, which will answer the \ same purpose and will not be so i fragile. The Independents play Juniata i College at Huntingdon to-morrow ] night. Air Waves Cause Curves Says Lehigh Professor Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 2.—Baseball fans who would know why balls: thrown by Alexander break away from the plate may read how Dr. William S. Franklin, of Lehigh University ex plains it. The scientist lectured re cently on "How a Baseball Curves" be fore the Scientific Club of Haverford College. The ball curves, he said, because of J the difference of air pressures, accord ing to the brenouli waves. As it speeds through space one air current accompanies it, while another, bound in an opposite direction, resists, caus ing the sphere to spin and break. As for the "spit ball" the smooth, dry surface of the ball comes in con tact with the air, leaving in its im mediate wake a vacuum. The damp ened portion of the horsehide affords the greater resistance, with the re sultant tantalizing wiggle when it reaches the batter. - | DUDLEY 2yi inches NORMAN 2yi inches AR.R.OW COLLARS 2 far 25 eta.

Deny Brickley Rumors; Penn Chairman Explains Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 2.—lt was rumored around Franklin Field yes terday afternoon that Charles Brickley former star backfleld man of I-laxvard 1 University, of two seasons ago, and having a very successful season this year in coaching Johns Hopkins Uni versity, is being considered for the coaching job of the University of Pennsylvania football eleven for 1916. it was stated that Brickley had been asked to coach the Hed and Blue grid iron warriors, but according to Whar ton Sinkler, chairman of this year's football committee, there is no truth in the statement.

Portland, Ore., Dec. 2. —With the aid of a bewildering assortment of plays, the Syracuse University foot | ball team defeated the Oregon Agrl- I cultural College here yesterday, 28 to 0. j The eastern aggregation got the , Jump on the Aggies the moment the I latter kicked off and scored two touch ! downs before the western players got | their hands on the ball.

DAVENPORT MAY RETURN TO REDS If Feds Make Fight Gilmore's Kick Will Bring Further Issue Special to The Telegraph New York, Dec. 2.—According to advices from St. Louis, Dave Daven port, who jumped the Reds to the Feds when Marsans flew the coop, and who has since developed into a great pitcher, seeks reinstatement and wants to return to Cincinnati. His Federal League contract has expired. If a light is made by the Federal league to retain this star, President Uilmore must cat his own words. Davenport thinks that he can be practically classed as either a free agent or a suspended lied, who is eligi ble for reinstatement. His case is certainly an odd one, and presents some curious angles, both from a legal and a baseball point of view. Since Davenport's original Cincin nati contract would by this time have run out, he could not be held to Cin cinnati allegiance, according to the decisions ol sundry judges who ruled against the reserve rule and the style of contract that was in vogue when Long Dave played with the Keds. tt'iu a Jumper At the same time he was a jumper —he flopped to the Feds while his contract was still in forest and played a season and a half with them. Under the theories of organized ball the only way in which Davenport could count himself eligible would have been to lay off and play no ball at all during the period between his leaving Cin cinnati and the expiration of his con tract. The Federal claim on Davenport Is one which, if brought to an issue, makes them turn squarely against their own teachings and printed utter ances. If this contract has run out, he can only be claimed by the St. Louis Feds under the same Identical reserve rule as that maintained by or ganized ball. Therefore, If the Feds try to hold Davenport, they reverse their own statements and attack their own court proceedings. There are two ways to look at the Davenport case. He jumped a con tract, and, therefore, according to most of the heads of organized ball, must stay outside the barriers.

Within two weeks' time the National League base ball magnates will go into their an nual session in this city. Such was the Information handed out by Presi dent John K. Tener here to-day. On the same day that the league goes into session, December 14, the board of directors will gather for their pow wow. The National League session will probably be dragged out until Friday. Probably what may command most of the National club owners' time and consideration will be the oft-repeated stories of peace between their league and the Feds. This subject has been discussed pro and con for months now and if there is anything in it the coming meeting should bring It out. Peace in baseball may not be seri ously discussed at the meeting of the American League officials, who will hold their annual pow-wow on De cember 15 in Chicago, but several im portant rules regulating the game may be adopted. Legislation against barnstorming with the approval of the National Commission is expected at this con fab. President Johnson thinks these trips injure the game and also the players.

Another wise play was inaugurated when the entire team. Just before the game, came trotting out on the field with a life-size football painted on each player's jersey so that in a play it was next to impossible to be sure that you were tackling: the right man. The entire backfield would embrace the imaginary ball and crouch In a run, which made it very confusing for their poor opponents. 11
