SCRAPPERS OF EVERY STYLE ON KEYSTONE FISTIC BILL-SCHEDULE TROUBLE
NEW SCHEDULE IS
TROUBLEMAKER
State League Representatives
Wrestle For Five Hours With
Dates; Other Business
New York State League moguls and
managers slipped several cogs last
night. It was sometime after midnight
before a schedule was adopted, and
some important matters went by the
board for want of time for considera
tion. The meeting was held at Hotel
Columbus, and was called to order by
President J. H. Farrell at 8.30.
Everybody present had a fling at the
schedule committee. The members who
were responsible for two schedules
were apparently sore at themselves for
they too did not like some of the ar
rangement of dates. When it was seen
that no final decision could be reach
ed until a late hour the schedules sent
out for publication to-day were can
celed. A new one was finally adopted
and placed in the hands of the presi
dent for printing. It will be made pub
lic by President Tarrell within the next
ten days.
Changes made last night sends Har
risburg away on opening date. Elmira
will entertain the Cockill crew May 2,
a and 4. Other opening days will be
at Syracuse, Utica and Binghamton.
The season in this city opens May 8
with Klmira. Ilarrisburg will be pair
ed with Reading on holidays. It is not
likly there will be a switch of morning
and afternoon games. Reading will
have Decoration Day and Labor Day.
and Harrisburg gets two games on
July 4.
I.lttle due Transncted
Due to the time required to finish the
schedule other business received mere
mention. The kick on the 'rookie" rule
did not materialize. Several managers
said they were not pleased with it, but
someone else spoke up and insisted
that it be tried out before an effort
is made to revoke the rule.
The one factor in the schedule trou
ble was due to the demand for Sunday
baseball. Five towns want Sunday
baseball. It is proposed to play exhi
bition games and regularly scheduled
league games.
President Farrell said prospects for
a good season are bright. Representa
tives present included: Scranton, Rob
ert Allen and Wilialm Coughlin; Utica,
A. McConnell, John D. Buckley; Elmira,
Mortimer Sullivan, Mr. Doyles, Marks;
Willces-Barre, Fred Rodda, W. C. Kess
ler; Syracuse, William Rubin, Mike
O'Neill; Binghamton, Chic Hartman; F.

Dr. F. N. Tate; Harrisburg, George

Charlotte Miller Heads
Central High Girls' Five
in High Scoring Honors
The 'Miller family again comes into
the sport limelight in the person of
Miss Charlotte Miller, sister of "Shorty"
Miller, former Central High School
and State College star athlete. Miss
Miller is leading the Central High
School girls in two leagues, in scoring.
She has taken part in fourteen games,
tallying twenty-six from the field, and
seventeen from the fifteen-foot mark.
It was her sensational work which
played a big part in winning the cham
pionship for the White team in the
Morning l>eague.
Second in scoring was Miss Grace
Robinson, of the Purple five, who threw
a total of twenty-one field goals. Miss
Sites, of the Blue team, is third with
nineteen field goals and Miss Frank, of
the White team, is fourth with seven

The Graiulolddope
It's what phould be—but rarely is;
If things go as they look to go;
It's framing up the future biz
From things you thlnjc you ought to know.
It's tipping off the future book
From events that have gone before,
I'ntil said tipping gets the hook
Whereat you come again for more.
It's where you dip into the past
And take the future on the fly;
I'ntil you finish up at last
And kick ill with an alibi.
It's showing where the Sox will win
And where the Reds or Pirates won'l.
I :.v mixinjg up the might-have-been
With what they ought to do—but don '.
By sizing up the general scope
Of what has been and what might be;
You bump against the Grandolddope—
And bump is right—grab It from me.
Form and Other Sports
The discussion of form in sports brings up the matter of grace, rhythm
and ease in other sports aside from baseball.
The golfer with the greatest grace—from the tee to the green—is Chick
Evans. We know of no other who carries the same rhythm all the way in
every shot. ,
On the green we have seen no one with the grace, ease and poise of Jerry
Travers. His putting stroke is the last word in a rhythmical display. Ouimet
is another golfer with natural grace, but the Bostonian gives more the impres
sion of power than. ease. Kirltby is another golfer whose long game especially
is to be noted for its rhythm and beauty of execution.
In England the iwo golfers noted for their grace of all-around p'ay were
the late Jack Graham, killed in France, and George Duncan.
There isn't a golfer in the game who surpasses Evans in the ease and sym
metry of his iron play.
Among the pros, Jim Barnes has superiors in this line, but in the main they
go in more for crispness and power than for ease. Mike Brady is another
whose game is replete with rhythm.
Tennis
It would be hard to fin.d a greater combination of grace and power than
Maurice McLoughlin, serving as he did three years ago against Brookes and
Wilding.
There was a mixture of smash and symmetry to his play that has never
been equalled. Both Norris Williams and William Johnston, the two present
day leaders, have an ease and sureness of motion that is part of the highest
form.
Football
Football brings more the impression of power and speed than grace. Yet
It would be harder to imagine a sight with finer rhythm or symmetry than
Eddie Mahan starting back through a broken field after handling a long punt.
Mahan turned running into poetry, minus any touch of the vers libre at
tachment.
John Reed Kilpatrick's end play at Yale brings back remembrances of grace
and symmetry as well as power.
Among the oldtime ball players, the grace of Jimmy McAleer Is remembered
beyond that of any other, while the leading rhythm and dash of a throw across
the' diamond belonged to Harry Steinfeldt, with Monte Cross not very far be
hind.
These attributes of symmetry, in the main, are all natural. They are rarely
to be developed. And while they do not always add to general effectiveness,
they certainly take nothing away, and are very likely to add something at least
to the player's popularity with the crowd.
Four Yale Players on
All-Collegiate Team
The All-League basketball team just
selected from the six universities com
prising the Intercollegiate League by
Ralph Morgan, secretary of the league,
includes the names of four Yale men
and one Princetonian, Captain Haas.
Captain "Charley" Taft, Garfield, Ole
son and Kinney, the little forward
who for two successive seasons has
led the league in scoring, are the four
members of the championship blue
team that are accorded the honor.
Mallon, the fast running guard on the
Yale team, ,was given a berth on the
second all-Qollegiate line-up.
In commenting on the showing
made this season. Secretary Morgan
concedes to Yale the honor of being
the cleanest playing team in the
league, with only fifty-one personal or
bodily contact fouls called against it
and no member of the team being dis
qualified. This is the third successive
year that the Yale players have re
ceived this honor, and the second time
in three years that the championship
has gone to the blue quintet.

MANAGER MORAN
STARTS SLICING
Six Recruits Sent to Minors
For More Baseball
Seasoning
St. Petersburg, Fla., March 22.
Manager Moran haS started to cut
down the Phillies' squad. The first
recruit to be cut adrift was Tom Hag
gerty, the Brooklyn semi-pro., who
was sent here for a trial on the rec
ommendation of President Tener, of
the National League. Haggerty left
last night for his home in Brooklyn,
after McCann, manager of the New
London club, of the Eastern League, a
Phillies' farm, announced that he
could not use him because he al
ready had a second baseman and
shortstop under contract.
Five For Minors
Five other players are slated for the
niinors. Outfielder Gandy and Pitcher
Craig go to New London, and Pitchers
Carmichael and Lutz, and Catcher
Rathkamp go to Elmira, of the New
York State League.
The two Cubans, Rodes and Gon
zales, have impressed Manager Moran
with their work. The more skillful of
the two is Outfielder Rodes, who is
the fastest player in the squad. He
covers acres of territory in the out
field and handles himself well. Rodes
has not shown any unusual hitting
ability, but he is so fast that he can
beat out quite a few hits. .So far as
his fielding is concerned, he is ripe
right now for the fast set. Both are
righthand hitters and are under con-1
tract with the' New London club. But
the Phils have first option on them.

posed of players In and around Phila
delphia and Doc Newman will bring a
strong team to the city Saturday
night. ,
The locals defeated the Trenton
team earlier in the season and Trenton

not up to the standard' In the Camden

this week in the practices to form a
better defense, as the remaining games

POPK HOLDS CONSISTORY
By Associated Press
