In City Amateur League contests completely burled their opponents under an avalanche of field goals. The Rosewood team humbled the West End toasers to the score of 84 to 43 and the Galahad Ave came out at the long end of a 64 to 11 score over the Y. M. H. A. com bination.

The Rosewood tossers pierced the net from the field 39 times and the G&lahad lads located the basket for 32 two pointers. The latter team also put up a strong defensive game and only allowed the Hebrew tossers to secure three field goals, holding them scoreless during the first half. The summaries: GALAHADS Fd.G. FI.G.

A "northwester" broke up a seven-in ning game between two teams of the Dodgers at Whittington Park in the sixth inning yesterday aftenoon with a score of 8 to 1 in favor of Larry Cheney's athletes. "Rube" Marquard, who pitched for Cheney's side, was in much better form than Jack Coombs. Many of the drives off Coombs went mighty close to the fences, but ex cellent fielding kept the score down. Macon, Ga., March 16. —The Yan kee regulars toppled the second team, 1 to 0, yesterday afternoon. There was a change in the line-up of the regulars. Lee Magee was in center, Henderson was assigned to the sec ond team, and the regulars were to gether for the first time as they prob ably will go into acUon in the cham pionship campaign. The teams field ed sprucely, the pitching for both was of considerable quality. l but the batting was light. Austin, Texas, March 16.— A pair of errors by Shortstop Kilduff in the ninth inning gave McCraw's regulars another victory over the colts yes terday by a score of 5 to 3. This was an uphill battle for the winners, as they did not score until the sixth in ning. The game was well pitched and exceptionally well fielded, considering the fact that a gale blew clouds of dust about the field and often blind ed the athletes. Benton, Perritt and Tesreau worked thifee innings each for the regulars. & GrantlancLJZice Copyright, 1917, by the Tribune Association (New York Tribune) You Can't Always Tell In March the Kid looked great While the veteran's arm was sore; The Kid slid into the plate For many a practice score; While the Vet had to limp around.

The present game has grown in such favor both players and spectators that no risk will be run in the way of eoramfcilng up a successful situation. Foster Sanford, the eminent instructor and old Yale star, believes in re stricting the distance of the forward pass in its campaign of frightfulness. Such a change would work toward removing a hardship from the secondary defense, but in other ways would lead to numberless complications. When a limit is put upon distance a tangle Is sure to result. The Forward Pass, in our should either be unrestricted or abolished. And it shouldn't be abolished. Brooklyn inters a Rebuttal I?ear Sir; This talk about the Giants having the pennant race sewed up gives me indigestion. P-ennant races, in the main, arc decided by pitching power. Last season the Red Sox lost Trts Speaker and had Jack Barry out at the most critical point of the year; but with Ruth, Shore, Leonard. Mays and Foster they won the pennant by a larger margin than the year before. Why? Because they had the pitching. Brooklyn, with Pfeffer, Marquard. Cheny, Coombs, Sherrod, Smith and others, has a much better pitching staff than Tes reau, Schupp, Benton. Perritt, etc. —a much more dependablo staff. That is where Brooklyn will again beat out New York. Wait for the finish. DODGE RVILLE. We hope—lf Fate and Destiny will kindly permit. Coming and Going Sir: Which do you think is the better story—Samuel Hopkins Adams in Collier's called "Enter Darcy" or Governor Whitman's snappy sequel, "Exit Darcy"? PLATO PETE. Along about the 27th of July or early August there will be one or two depressed cities insisting that their ball clubs put in the afternoon drilling in place of the accustomed program. Spring Song What have the winds of spring to say— "Over the hills and far away— Where the pits are deep and the traps encroach And the bunker waits for the flubbed approach; Where the duffer rages and tears his hair As a wild curse rings on the balmy air; Where the sore heart bleeds and the soul is cut As the golfer foozles a fwo-toot putt." Tris and Joe H. L. G.—Speaker and Jackson have been big league rivals for six seasons —from 1911 to date. In this space Jackson has led Speaker three years, with one tie and tWo triumphs for Tris. Jackson led his Texas rival in 1911, 1912 and 1913. In 1914 they tied at .338 each. Speaker then came to the front In 1915 and 1916. Jackson is the only ball player In the game who ever batted over .400 his It's / toasted/ LUCKY STRIKE \J3mh cigarette I iff O T T'S toasted. The Burleytobacco in this delicious vW new Lucky Strike cigarette is toasted. And you know how toasting does add flavor. Close your eyes and think of one crisp, brown slice of hot, buttered toast Flavor is the word, isn't it ? . This new application of an old idea has given you a new cigarette. You smokers have certainly been wanting a ready • made Burley cigarette. At first it couldn't be made; flavor didn't hold. But five years' 6tudy brought us to the toasting principle, by which we are able to hold the Burley flavor. So now, try Lucky Strike, the real Burley cigarette; the tobacco it's toasted.

Proof that the golf stroke is a bad thing for baseball baiting Is shown by the list of ball players who play golf. Look how the Scotch game wrecked Iris Speaker, Tv Cobb and Eddie Collins! No wonder big league managers in sist upon suppressing Doc Bogey's sirenlc call. Those accustomed to Insist how badly Miss Bjurstedt could have beaten Miss Sutton—Mrs. Bundy—are now at liberty to revise their estimate under tho cold and pitiless glare of the records, where the great Norwegian player hns a matter of one victory out of five starts und at a time when Mrs. Bundy is hardly the player that Miss Sutton was at the top of her younger game. LOCAL CHAMPIONSHIP FACTOR IN TONIG CENTRAL BATTL Members of the Central and Tech nical High School basketball squads held their final practices yesterday afternoon in preparation for their lirst game of the season Friday night at Chestnut Street Hall. Because of the advantage of play ing on their own floor, Central fol lowers look to the Bine and Gray to land their first contest with Tech. Adherents of the latter quintet point to the fact that' Tech has won at Steel ton and Middletown within the last two weeks, and with the team going at top speed has good chances to win the fray. Cheer leaders at the two institutions will do their part in the game. Almost as much interest centers in tho battle that will be staged between the two reserve squads.
