Want Sunday Game* They claim that their chief source of revenue is from these games and that they must have them to run their teams. The other Southern cities favor them as well, lor they feel the finances of the league will be ! greatly strengthened by Sunday ball. Cliamberburg has declared that if a resolution permitting Sunday ball passes the next meeting they will at once withdraw from the league. It is expected that Gettysburg and Hanover would follow suit.

JOHNSON Reports From Teams Indicate Loyalty in American League; Doyle on List Chicago, Jan. 23. "The backbone of the baseball players' strike is broken." This was the parting shot of Dave Fultz, president of the Baseball Plav ers' Fraternity, dealt by President Ban Johnson, of the American League, yes terday, on the eve of his departure for Dovers Hall, Ga., on a pleasure trip. Reports from American League managers and players, coming to the headquarters of the circuit, tend to prove that a strike is not wanted by the players, says the A. L. chief. It proves, lie contends, that the strike propaganda is being fostered by Fultz principally. President Dun, .of the Cleveland Indians, was an American League magnate who brought in an optimistic report. He said to-day: "Practically all of my players have signed_contracts to play for Cleveland In 1917. The only one of the regulars who has not coma to terms is Bobby Roth, and I anticipated no serious hitch with this player." Washington Is All Right An optimistic report from Manager Clark Griffith, of the Washington club, was forthcoming. "Griff" said he had seen a number of players and they seemed to be loyal to their club. Four of his regulars, including Walter Johnson, were already under contract, ■'Griff" said, and he anticipated little trouble rounding up his other regu lars. The American League chief also was optimistic over the chances of start ing the season with all the clubs of the American League playing their regulars, even if a strike was called on February 20, as threatened. He refused to take the strike seriously. White Sox players have lined up al most unanimously in favor of their club, as opposed to the Fraternity, and the St. Louis team also seemed strong for its club. President Johnson exhibited a com munication from Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, in which he asserted a walkout of the major league players would not be at the instigation of the organization of which he is head. Larry Doyle is one Cub ball player who will not respect the laws of the Baseball Players' Fraternity. GERMAN CLASS GAME The German Class team last night scored 32 to 10 against the McCor mick Class quintet in the Boyd Me morial Intermediate League contest, played on the Boyd Memorial Hall gymnasium fioor last night.

No More Nude Figures in Movies, Is Decree of National Censors New York, Jan. 23. The nude in moving-picture art has come under the-ban of the National Board of Re view, it was announced here. All producing companies that are members ol' the National Association have agreed, it was said, not to per mit. the production in their studios of photoplays using such a figure. Instructions to this effect have been sent to directors and scenario writers. Action was taken after "widespread disapproval" of such pictures was dis closed by an investigation covering the entire country. Danger of overproduction of sex problem plays also has been recog nized by the Board of Review. A statement issued by the Board of Re view added, however, that "discussion of sex problems, which are being con ducted throughout the nation, belong to a distinctly different category and deserve dramatic treatment on the screen as well as on the stage."

C. towsAmrsAarsssssjrsssssr/**j7* CENTRAL TO PLAY YORK HIGH FIVE First Game Away From Home in Central Pcnn League; Team in Form The Central High quintet will jour ney to York Friday to play the High School squad of that place. This will be the first game this season for the locals in the Central Pennsylvania Scholastic League. The White Rose five has played two league games, losing both. The Blue and (iray team proved efficient in de feating Williamsport last Friday and the Academy the week before. Although Central lost to Milton High and Dickinson Seminary, followers are not discouraged in the least, as these games were played the day after the strenuous extra-period fray with the Billtowners. Three contests together is exceptionally difficult for the best of players. Harrisburg high school fans look for another victory at York, thus marking the beginning of Central's stride toward the league championship, which they are confident that Eddie Hilton's boys will regain. Much favorable comment was heard at high school yesterday concerning the excellent foul shooting of Frank on last week's trip. The team Fri day will probably be the same as in former contests as regards the line-up. Bowlers Make Good Scores in Local and Other Big Leagues I*. 11. R. Y. >l. C. A.

Time will tell who is who. The ultimatum is not far off. With eight of the games on the schedule already played by the Tech basketball quintet. Coach Mjller has eliminated the players who will not participate for the Maroon this sea son. While there will be several cases in which candidates who "star" on the class teams will be promoted to the first and second team squads, there will be but few changes in the future games. Friday night Tech will oppose the Academy five. The contest was sched uled for the Academy tioor according to the Tech management, but through a misunderstanding the up-river lads expected to play on the Armory. The matter will be settled to-night, when the place for the contest will be an nounced. It is said Charles Weeglinuin will spend $14,000 to train the Chicago Cubs in the South. Fred Mitchell and TWO BIG GAMES FOR LOCAL BOYS Hard Fight in City Amateur League to Cose Up Gap Important games are scheduled for to-night at the Armory in the City Amateur League. The Galahad R. C. will meet the Y. M. H. A., starting at 8 o'clock. One hour later the Rose wood A. C. will line up against the West End A. C. In view of the fact that there is a close race for second honors in order to get in the running for the lead, both these contests prom ise unusual interest. For to-night and all future games an admission fee of 15 'cents will be charged. The board of governors de sires a still larger patronage and has reduced the fee to meet a demand from the younger basketball enthusi asts. Another rule in force to-night will be starting the game on time. Wiiui is Heal Leader Gebhard, a member of the Gala hads, playing forward, has played in one game and leads with a total of 15 points. The real leader Is Arthur Winn, of the Methodist team, center and guard in four games, having scored 13 field goals and 3 3 goals from fouls. His nearest competitors are Ross, of the Y. M. H.

This game promises much interest. Scranton had a basketball game last night that looks like a record breaker for fouls. The Y. M. H. A. Varsity and Y. M. H. A. Victors play ed for the championship of the asso ciation. Ellis Jiiskin, one of Scran ton's leading referees, called 81 fouls; 48 on the Varsity and 33 on the Vic tors. The Varsity threw 23 of their fouls, while the Victors landed eleven fouls. The Victors won, 37 to 33. Since 1910 Jack Barry has earned $18,703.04 extra. He shared iji six bonuses. Notwithstanding, it is said ball players are poorly paid. Klmira owners of the New York State League franchise are anxious for a sellout. Notice has been given the people of Klmira that baseball must be backed by a new association, or they will quit. Mortimer Sullivan says he lost sfi,soo last season and SII,OOO in eight years.
