SPACED Z^A&CHINABUT HE <orp MONDAY EVENING, LEBANON LEADS SCHOLASTIC RACE Another Busy Week Ahead For Local Basketball Tossers; Local Games Lebanon high school's basketball quintet may not land the final honors in the Central Pennsylvania basketball league, but it has the pleasure right now of holding undisputed possession of first place with two victories and no defeats. Fast team work landed them the winner against Steelton and Tech. One factor in the victories of the Red and Blue team from Lebanon is the all around team work of the quintet. Of the eleven players who contested for Lebanon in the two games already won, ten of the players have figured in the scoring. Their clean-cut victories over Steelton and Tech demonstrates the ability of the team. Lebanon I.eildM Id PolntM Steelton high school redeemed itself very much Friday nigtit by winning from York on that floor by a three-point margin. In the final result these three points were just as good to Steelton as 100. Gingrich, a new man on the White Koses, was the only player who could score for Coach Biiheimer's team. The Yorkers were also lacking from the 15-foot mark. Witmyer and Shipley alternated at foul tossing. Lebanon has *the two leading scorers in the league In Moore, a forward, and Strickler, who has alternated at for ward and center. Moore has scored 2S points as a result of netting the ball 14 times In tlie two games. Strickler has made 6 goals and 13 fouls for a total of 25 points. liayhoff, of Steelton, 'is a close third with 24 tallies. Six teen of these tallies are from the 15- foot mark. Harris is high scorer for Tech with nine points, while the York aggregation is lead by Gingrich who scored live field goals. Kcudlug lluxy Ttita Week Reading will break into the scoring this week, when it will come to Tech Friday night for a contest, while Satur day they will stop on the way home to meet Lebanon. Odds favor the latter team, as they have the advantage of playing the game on their own floor. Reading has four of the team that tied up tile lead with Central in the regula tion number of contests. Whether they have improved since last year can be seen when they line up against Tech at the City Grays Armory Friday night. Reading's two contests are the only ones scheduled to be pulled oft in the league this week. llarrisburg Academy Coach Schlichter's Academy tossers will be tiie opponents of Central Friday night. Only "Eddie" Hilton remains from last year, so that McCord will have to build up an entirely new style of team play. The Academy lads won their opening game at York Saturday over the York Academy team. Many critics are predicting a victory for the up-river boys. The quintets representing Oberlln, Carlisle, Middletown, Knhaut,. Camp Hill, and the nearby towns are now actively engaged In the cage sport, and will play several games at the close of each week.

Word has reached Philadelphia that "Cactus" Cravath will not manage the Vernon team of the Pacific Coast league. It is said In van Olson, the Brooklyn shortstop, has landed the job. This deal, if true, Is likely to cause some trouble, as the Phillies had arranged to let Cravath go with the understanding that he would get the Vernon job. Offers are still pouring in for Les Darcy. He can give an exhibition In Philadelphia and get SIO,OOO from Harry Edwards. He ought to be rich before another year. Mike Donlin has landed a job. This famous slugger of the Giants a few| years back will manage the Memphis Club in the Eastern League. He can still slug the ball, and if he can use his legs in old-time style, Memphis will have a winner. The Eastern League schedule this year will include 112 games Instead of 126.
