12 HARRISBURG MAY GET LEAGUE BASKETBALL NEXT FALL—CENTRAL HOLDS LEAD < LEAGUE GAME FOR HARRISBURG FANS Basketball Promoters Pick This City as Part of New Organization Harrisburg will get league baseball next fall according to a report from Philadelphia. A new league is being formed in opposition to the Eastern League. It is said Philadelphia, Camden, Harrisburg, Allentown and Bethlehem are already assured. The Philadelphia Inquirer to-day says: "If present plans do not go amiss be tween now and next fell another pro fessional baseball league will step into the limelight and make a bold bid for public patronage. This new organiza tion which is said to be merely in the making is to be placed on a par with the Eastern and Pennsylvania State Leagues, and to include players of the same caliber as those who now make up the teams of the two big cage game bodies. "According to a well-known Phila delphian who desires that his name shall not be used at this time, but who is willing to allow some details of the purposed organization to ap pear in public print, claims he has already been assured of financial sup port. If all the towns approached enter the new movement the pro posed Federal League, a title prac tically although not officially agreed npon, will start with an eight-club circuit. "It is said to be the intentions of the promoters to place one club in Philadelphia, either in West Phila delphia or Kensington, and take In Harrisburg, Allentown, Bethlehem, Pottstown, Camden, Reading and either Millville, Bridgeton, or Atlantic City. Trenton and Lancaster were also mentioned. "The division of receipts of the new j league is to be conducted upon tho| percentage plan. The division of the ] gate is to be on a fifty-fifty basis with ; all money taken for reserve seats go-1 lng as velvet to the home club. All i clubs are to be instructed to sign their players on monthly salaries. Each 1 team is to play three games a week, j two at home and one away one week, i and one game at home and two awny j the next week. That will make a tot;il 1 of 12 games for the month and 60; games for the season. "The salary limit has not yet been j fixed. The new league plans to secure ! as many Interstate and Connecticut j League players as possible and to also 1 enroll some of the dissatisfied mem- ; bers of the Eastern and Pennsylvania j State Leagues' teams. No concen trated raid is to be made on the East- ' ern League, but none of the top notch- j ers are to be refused if they apply. ! ' The promoters of the new league j —!

The release of Rube Bressler calls attention to the fact that Connie Mack never had great success with south | paws, excepting, perhaps, Eddie Plank | and Rube Wnddeli.

With the vic tory over the Lebanon five the latter team was dislodged from the league lead held since the beginning of the .season.

I apparent and should be a warning to | other theatrically ambitious scrappers, j Folks who really are interested in ring ; battles don't care to see a boxer step j onto a stage and merely go through | the motion of a tiff. They want to see j him fight. I Anyone so popular as Darcy would j have no trouble at all in jamming a i fight arena with fans to see him battle. Others who go to a theater to be en -1 tertained are rarely interested in the disappointments were Itoger Salmon, I.el'ty Uussell. Dave Danforth, Herb Pennoclt, Ilarry Krause and Bressler. Maurice Evans McL.oughlin, the fa mous California "Comet," is reported to have begun strict training in prepa ration for another try at the national lawn tennis championship. The for- . nter national champion and coniiueror 4 of Brookes and Wilding is working out 1' * on the courts at his home in Los An geles and is expected to take part in the East-West matches on March 9-10.

Ho was a prize winner in the tournament at Atlantic City in 1914 and one year Inter at New York city. He has a good local record. Freddie Welsh is in bad in Wiscon sin. He will probably lie prohibited from fighting in that state during his life. It is said he defied all State rules and failed to keep bit contract. times through the net.
