The Four rentet Which reminds us that a certain has remained unanswered for sev eral days. The query, from one of th°! smaller 1< an provinces, desires to know the four greatest hall clubs of th e laat twenty years. There are six clubs that might well figure in such a debate the Baltimore Orioles of 1894; the Boston Nationals of 1897, the pmfburgh club of 1902 the New York Giants of 1905, the Chicago Cubs of 1?®. >'e Philadelphia Athletics of 1911. Two of these clubs can be entered w' 1 ' 10 " 1 an y further debate the Cubs and Athletics—machines good enough t° win wo world series each and to bag four pennants in five years. The next club in line is the Bosto 11 club of 1898—the club that had for an infield Tenney, Lowe, Long and Col*' ns - an< * ' or an outfield, Hugh Duffy, Billy Hamilton and Chick Stall!—seve" who batted between .314 and .359—with Bergen back of the bat an 1 * Kid Nichols in the box. Pittsburgh had a great club in 1 902 . with Chesbro, Tannehllle, Phil lipe and in the box; with Bran s^ Richie, Wagner and Leach for an infield, and with Clarke, Beaumont anil Davis for the outfield. The Giants of 19ftf> were a great machine, with M a " iewson Bresnahan and oth ers. But it would be hard to leave o" l ' le °' c ' Orioles McGraw, Jennings, Kelley, Keeler, Brodle, Wilbert Hobl nson > Ban Brouthers other old stars who made up one of the greatest machines of all times. So our vote would be, in temporal order: Baltimo re - 1894; Boston, 1898; Chicago, 1906; Philadelphia, 1911. The New Flrlla There has been a general impress* oo abroad that while Florida can grow sand in luxuriant quantities, it s production of grass is well below par. That was true of the old Flurid a — but not of the new. Writing from Deland, Fla., Colonel W. B. Hanna, the golf wanderer, advises as follows: •i have played, among others, these courses—Pinehurst, Oakley, Woodland, Cobl) Creek, Ardsley. Garden City, Dunwoodie, Wheaton, Skokie, Glen Echo, Kansas City. Dallas, Houston, Marlin, Macon, East Lake, Englewood, Or mond, Colombo, Salisbury, Cincinnati and others, but the greens at Deland —they are grass—are the best I ever saw —fast and true." Florida, with good grass greens established, will soon be just one vast course. It would not be surprising to see the state's namo soon changed to Golforia, or New Scotland. The Croesus I.lmlt Though John D. has his share of kale He still pursues the dough; For there Is still one last dream left Beyond the afterglow; For he will be content to quit When he has, in his sight, Enough to make the purse up for A Willard-Fulton fight. Records ami Such In looking through the records we see this: Tom Cowler, knocked out by Jack Dillon—two rounds. Charles Weinert, knocked out by Jack Dillon—two rounds. Dillon, it is admitted, would be a joke for a Willard. But what is it that makes Fulton eligible for a Willard controversy? Precisely this: The fact that 110 knocked out Tom Cowler and Charlie Weinert in two founds each. is a quetir fish in a funny sea. The bulk of it takes you where you want to go, and- nowhere else. Forced Marches There Is quite a difference In the psychology of getting ready for some thing and getting ready for nnythlng. There Is many n system that would fester If the Alibi wasn't permitted to emerge. By tossing Fred Fulton into the same pasture with Carl Morris or Frank Jloran a much better verdict might be obtained as to his outlying qualifica tions for a Willard ensemble. Mr. Morris is no part of a wonder, but he can become annoying at times in the way of a passing test. CENTRAL CHANCES SIMMER; IMPORTANT LEAGUE GAMES Reading Plays Here Wednesday Night; Lebanon Is Still a Strong Penant Contender I In the Pennsylvania Interscliolas',ie I League, thirteen games . emain to be j placed. Reading, Lebanon and Cen i tral are fervent contenders. Up to this point, the race has been decidedly in favor of Central, but with the dis qualification of two of the players during the last week, and the re-j maining Varsity members threatening I to strike, prospects are discouraging. , The disqualification of the two play- | ers comes at a bad time. Central is j scheduled to meet Its two rivals, Leb anon and Reading during the coming week. The Reading contest is sched- j uled for the Chestnut street floor Wed- ! nesday night, while the ocal aggrega- j tlon will journey to Lebanon Satur- j day night. Central can easily lose the Lebanon contest, because It is played away from home. To lose the Read ing game on the home floor, would be taking the pennant from this city. Any one of the three leaders can be expected to win all their home games under ordinary circumstances. Fri day night Reading will go to York. The White Roses are racing with Tech for the cellar position. Has Few Games j Lebanon has almost completed its I Moore of Lebanon Leads Pennsylvania League Stars Moore, the sensational forward of the I,ebanon High school Ave, is so far in advance of the other players in Central Pennsylvania Scholastic League, in his scoring averages, that it is doubtful if he will be headed this season. In the contest at York i last Friday night, his excellent work j boosted his average considerable and ito date, including all games played, ihe has averaged 21 points to a game, jHe has played In seven games. Day j hoff, of Steelton and Nyquist, of I Reading, have boosted their average in recent contests. llarrisburg has four players in the top ranks. Frank, of Central, is second to Moore, who leads the league, with Nyquist. Read ing, third. Dayhoff, of Steelton, :s fourth and Harris, of Technical High, is fifth, with Gregory, of Central right on his heels. FIGHT PROMOTERS CONFER Chicago, Feb. 19. Representa tives of Jess Willard, champion heavyweight adn Fred Fulton, of Rochester, Minn., expect to meet here to-day to discuss articles of agree ment for a ten-round bout. It is said that the articles have been drown up and that if an agreement is reached, the fight will take place in New York City late in March or early in April. , NEI DIG TOSSERN WIN On Saturday night the Neidig Me morial tossers easily defeated the Raid win A. C. five, of Steelton, in n well-played contest by the score o' 66 to 28. The game was played on the band hal 1 floor at Oberlin. The Neidigs led at half time by the socre of 28 to 9. schedule of contests. York and Cen tral travel to Lebanon to play return games, and the "Dutch" should be able to win both. Their final game will be at Reading, March 16, and on the result of this game may hinge tlie pennant of the league. Lebanon | nosed out Reading by one point on I the Lebanon floor which Is not much lof a margin. The Berks lads equaled | Lebanon's feat of trimming Steelton jon the latter floor. All things con sidered, Reading seems to be the fa vorite. : In Gregory, Central had the sec ; ond highest scorer in field goals per jgame. This lad tallied 16 two-point j ers In the three games in which the Blue and Gray participated. It is not likely that Coach McCord can put an other player in the cage who has this scoring ability. Fields will also be missed. The standing of the teams to ! date is as follows: i Teams. W. L. P. C. Central 3 0 1,000 Lebanon 6 1 866 Reading 4 1 800 Steelton, 2 4 333 York 1 5 167 i Tech 16 6 143 ST. MARY'S TO ORGANIZE Nicholas P. Zerance, manager of the St. Mary's C.
