Referee Not to Blame For Loss
of Games; Talk About
Rule Changes
That officiating In . the basketball
games in this vicinity is of the best is
evidenced by the fact that in four i
contests played in and about the city
recently 186 fouls were called on play
ers for the infraction of the rules, rn
every instance but one, the visiting
team received fewer penalties than the >
home players.
When Wilkes-Barre played Central
Jn this city Central was penalized 24
times by a local arbiter, while the
Coal Barons received but IS penalties,
on the same night in the Tech-Read
ing contest, the local players fouled
3 8 times according to the referee,
while but 18 penalties were inflicted
on the visitors.
Down at Steelton when that team !
met York the official called 36 fouls
on the home team, while the York ag- j
gregation offended but 22 times. Camp
Hill and Middletown clashed on the
name evening and each team received
16 penalties. The conclusion to be
drawn from these contests Is that no
team has an opportunity to blame poor
officiating for the loss of a game in
this locality.
Discuss Rule CliangC4
Of the 166 fouls called In these four j
Contests local and visiting athletes con-
Verted 101 of them into points for their
teams. In other words 10 out of 16
trials slipped through the net. In the
Central Pennsylvania basketball lea
gue of the total of 1,319 points scored
during the season by all of the teams,
<55 have been scored from the 15-
foot mark. From these figures it can
be seen that there is a foul tossed for
every goal that is made from field.
A proposed change in the manner
of tossing of the free throws is again
under discussion. This change as
practiced In some of the leagues would
compel the offended player to toss the :
foul. This it is feared make the game
rougher, as there would be fewer fouls
converted into counters, and players j
knowing this would be sure to take
advantage of the fact. As a result of
much consideration the present sys
tem of having one player to do all the
tossing from the free throws Is like
ly to remain for some time to come.

Special to the Telegraph
New York, Feb. 21.—John H. Far-'
rell, secretary and chairman of thei
National Association of Professional :
Baseball Clubs, which is the govern-1
lug body of the minor leagues, sees J
In the recently concluded peace a com- I
plete revivicatlons of his wounded
family.
"The Federal league campaign,"
said Mr. Parrel 1, "had little effect upon!
the major league save indirectly. The
minor leabues, on the other hand.were!
Very hard hit. They were the princi
pal prey of the outlaws. More than
00 per cent, of the recruits for the in- j
dependents were taken from minor I
league clubs. This deprived the de
pendents of the major leagues of one;
of their chief sources of revnue.
"In 191" my office handled approxl-j
mately 12.000 minor league contracts.'
In 1914 the number dropped below!
H.OOO. and last year it dropped below
ti.ooo. In those two seasons nearly!
half of the little leagues under pro
tection were forced to disband.
".Many of these, however, will be
lined up again this reason. I think by
the end of next year organized ball
will have a greater membership than j
ever before."

CUT OUT BOOZE
IS COLLINS PLAN
Star Second Baseman Pleads
For Clean Hodv and Tem
perate Living
*
Special to the Telegraph
Palmyra, N. J., Feb. 21.—"Eddie"
Collins, star second baseman of the
White Sox, and formerly a member
of the Athletics' SIOO,OOO infield, made
a home run hit with 500 persons who
heard him break into the "gospel
team" league yesterday afternoon, in
his first venture as a platform speaker
before a church audience. They ap
plauded like world-series fans, when
he handed "booze" some wallops that
would have done credit to "Billy" Sun
day.
Collins told his audience that he did
not come as an evangelist, nor was lie
contemplating a pulpit and
that judging from the fine looking
crowd In front of him they did not
need a reform talk.
"X come to bring a messag". to your
young people, from a baseball player's
viewpoint of the necessity of clean liv
ing, and I'll bo glad if anything I can
say will help any of you light the bat
tle of life under the right rules," he
said.
Talks on Slack' System
"Life is a whole lot like playing
baseball under Connie Mack's orders.
Mack is the greatest baseball general
the world has ever known, and any
man who_has ever played on the old
Athletics "honors, respects and loves
the boss. Connie has established an
honor system in the Athletics that
holds his men in the best physical
trim throughout the season. He gives
his players a set of rules at the be
ginning of the season, then he says:
" 'Boys, give me the best you've
got. You know enough to keep in
condition, and you've got to be in con
dition to put it across.' "
Collins wove much of his address
around baseball history and experi
ences to demonstrate the value of rid
ing on the "water wagon." Baseball,
business, the world itself will be bet
ter off when "John Barleycorn" is
dumped overboard, he said.
"Temperate living is necessary for
success in any Held of action," he de
| ciared. "I believe a lot of man's suc
cess depends on his stomach. Cut
out the booze, don't be intemperate
in eating, and you've won half the
battle. A good stomach means a clear
head that will carry a man through
the crisis in baseball, business or pro
| fessional life."

Schuylkill Seminary Five
Is Winner Over Academy
Schuylkill Seminary five defeated
the Harrisburg Academy quintet in a
return game here Saturday afternoon;
score, 33 to 31. The game was the
most exciting that the local team has
taken part in this season and was not
decided until the referee's whistle blew
in the second periord.
In the first half Bruce, of the local
team, started the scoring with a field
goal, and from that on the game see
sawed back and forth throughout the
entire first half, closing with the Acad
emy leading by a score of 16 to 14.
The second half started with the vis
itors drawing first blood and jumping
into the lead. Throughout the second
half Schuylkill maintained a lead of
half a dozen points, but toward the
end the local squad threatened to come
to the front. With the end of the:
game only a minute and a half away, j
Academy scored two field goals in I
quick succession, but the whistle blew
and ended the rally.
Roth and Bruce starred for the local
team, the former scoring fifteen points!
out of two field and eleven foul goals.
The latter received eight points to his j
credit by caging four field goals, j
Pauling, the captain of the visitors, |
was their star, getting five field and :
three foul goals. Frundt, the big I
I center, ranged next with five field j
j goals opposite his name.

Harrisburg Independents on Satur
day won from the Carlisle Indians,
score 48 to 33. The local tossers
{showed great shooting form. The In
; dians were fast and kept rushing the
1 Independents at every move, but the
I guarding of Ford and McConnell was
! a big factor in keeping down Carlisle's
score.
An Interesting feature at Saturday's
i game between the Independents, and
Carlisle Indians was the numbering of
visiting players. Before the game
| started each player was introduced lo
the spectators. The latter enjoyed the
; innovation.

holds the lead as the best bowler.

Intercollegiate Race Is
Close, With Penn Leading
The eastern intercollegiate basket
ball race continue* to be close and as
at all times during: the season the
eventual winner is still a doubtful
quantity. Cornell's victory by one
point over the Yale five at New Haven
Saturday night practically puts the
Blue out of the running for the cham
pionship, unless a miracle occurs, be
cause practically never in the history
of the league has a team lost three
games out of ten and still won the
championship.
At the same time Cornell was win
ning. Princeton was defeating Dart
mouth and Penn was trimming Co
lumbia, and the race now looks like a
three-cornered affair between Cornell,
] Pennsylvania and Princeton, with the
| odds In favor of Pennsylvania, which
I has played the best game consistently
| during the present season.
Penn has defeated Princeton, Co
lumbia, Cornell and Dartmouth and
lost to Yale, while Princeton has been
beaten by Pennsylvania and Yale, and
Cornell has lost to Pennsylvania, but
beaten Yale twice.
