Special to the Telegraph
Philadelphia. Jan. 25.—Rivalry be
tween the Camden and Jasper Eastern
League basketball teams reached such 1
a high pitch last night that the police |
were called into the cage to prevent]
what might have been a free-for-all. .
Jasper won the game, rather easily,
but Camden fought back desperately,
the final count being 34 to 21.
It was a replay of the game that was
not played on January 6 because
"Jackie" Adams escorted his Camden
ites oft the floor rather than play the
Jewels, who had "Bill" Kummer in
their line-up. From the very start]
the fans, backers of the Jasper team,,
booed the Camden players. The cii-|
max to the rivalry was reached when 1
Friedman and a Camden player had i
a run-in. To prevent the two teams
from exchanging blows, the police
stepped into the cage and held up the
contest five minutes.

RICHMOND GETS
H'B'G FRANCHISE
Jack Dunn With His Team
Move to Baltimore; Plans
For Newark Deal
Special to the Telegraph
New York, Jan. 25.—At the con
clusion of a meeting of the Interna
tional League Baseball Club owners
here yesterday, it was officially an
nounced that the Providence Club
had been purchased from Joseph J.
Lannin by William H. Draper, a
Providence businessman, for $30,-
000. This amount is the purchase
price of the club and its players, and
does not include the grounds on
which the club will continue to play.
Before leaving for Providence the
new owner of the club said that 20
year* ago the Providence team be
longed to him and he hoped that he
will be as successful with the new
venture as he was during his former
ownership.
President Barrow made the an
nouncement that the Richmond fran
chise would return with President
Jack llunn to Baltimore, where it
originally belonged. The Harrisburg
franchise was transferred to Rich
mond and the Harrisburg players, as
well as the Jersey City Club's play
ers. will be disposed of by the lea
gue.
Jersey City to Newark
The affairs of the Jersey City club,
including the disposal of its fran
chise, have been entrusted to a com
mittee. and if it is sold the league's
Intention Is that the club shall be lo
cated at Newark, N. J.
Although President Lannin, of the
Boston Americans, sold his Providence
interest, he will still continue his af

take place on February 9, and the
committee on the Jersey City club's
affairs will then make its report. The
league's playing season will open on
April 26 and the schedule will call

President Barrow said that he had
been notified by the National Com

the Brooklyn National League Club,
had filed a claim against the Newark
franchise for $74,000 which Kbbets
claims to have loaned the Newark
organization. Mr. Barrow stated that
he had replied to the National Com
mission to the effect that there was no
Newark franchise in existence.
Time Goes Backward on
This Left-Handed Watch
Special to the Telegraph
Kalamazoo. Mich., Jan. 25. E.
P. Foley, a local jeweler lias made
the fabled reader obey that poetic
summons, "Backward, turn backward,
O Time, in your flight." He has ac
complished this seemingly impossible
thing by the simple expedient of in r
venting a left-handed watch.
Instead of running from left to
right, as is the case with ordinary
timepieces Mr. Foley's watch sends its
hands around from right to left.
The watch was made because one of
the inventor's daughters complained
that the left-handed person has such
a slim chance in life machinery,
street car doors and even the hands on
the clock going toward the right hand
as if to balk the person who hap
pened to be left handed.
Warns Against Overdoing
Occupational Training
Special la the Telegraph
Minneapolis. Minn., Jan. 25. A
warning against carrying occupational
training beyond its proper scope in
the public educational system was
sounded by Prof. W. F. Webster, of
Minneapolis, in an address before the
National Society for the Promotion of
Industrial Education here.
"In an industrial community skill
Is highly desirable, but skill without
common sense and without sympathy
certainly is a hazard," he said. "So
long as the schools are the power
shaping the character of youth, it
shall be their obligation to make men
first and mechanics afterward."
F. V. Thompson, assistant superin
tendent of schools of Boston, told the
delegates that in his opinion the
present corps of teachers is not cap
able of giving instruction in industrial
schools.
MRS. D. E. WITTERS DIES

Secure Option on Field Near
Herr Street For Motive
Power Association
At a meeting last night of the field
committee of the Motive Power Ath
letic Association of the Pennsylvania
Railroad it was announced that an
option had been secured on a field
adjoining the Hickok Manufacturing
Company, near Herr and Cameron
streets. If arrangements can be made
for a long term lease on this property,
it will be used as an athletic field.
The plot is said to be 400 feet in
width and 700 feet in length. <'. H.
Andrus, master mechanic of the Phila
delphia division, who is president of
the association, is also considering
other plots. It is the belief, however,
that the Herr street grounds will prove
advantageous, as they are in close
proximity to the railroad and to the
P. R. R. Y. M. C. A.
Plans for this year's work will be
taken up next week by the association.
This season it is proposed to place a
champion baseball team in the field
and already a number of promising
players have been signed up. Last
summer the local Motive Power base
ball club lost out by a small margin.

Richmond will get the Harrisburg
franchise in the International League.
This was expected, it was the belief,
however, that a city would be picked
that would promise the crowds. Rich
mond may be a larger city than Har
risburg, but in comparison of popula
tions, has nothing on this "burg," for
baseball crowds.
At last Edward G. Barrow, president
of the International League, has found
time to write a letter to Harrisburg.
He thanks the officials of the Pennsyl
vania Exhibition Company for their
hearty co-operation in helping the
league out last season; and said the
reason why Harrisburg was not con
sidered was because of the city's popu
lation.
Reading is looming up stronger each
day as a probable New York State
League city. It is understood that sev
eral prominent financial backers in
that city have found a way to get the
much-needed grounds. In the mean
time Harrisburg promoters are keep
ing busy, and thus far have met with
much encouragement.
It is understood that a call will he
made this year at Technical High
school for all students to come out
and take up one or more sports. Dr.
C. B. Fager, Jr., the principal, believes
that all students should train whether
they get into athletics or not. He be
lieves that healthy exercise will not
only prove beneficial, but that some
promising athletes may be found, who
remain in the background because of
the fear that they will not make good.
The boxing game Is increasing in
popularity throughout Pennsylvania.
Reading fans last night witnessed the
tlrst ring exhibition, held in that city
for four years. It was a bin success.
A commission named by the Mayor of
Heading attended the exhibition, and
will report on the advisability of con
tinuing this sport.
Mayor E. S. Meals is not in favor
of boxing shows in Harris burg at this
time. He wants to see how it is work
ing out in other cities, before permit

Harold S. Bingaman, a local base
ball star, is seeking fame in the New
