BOWLING CLASSICS START NEXT MONDAY—SCRAIITON PLAYERS TO REPORT
SCRANTON TEAM
STARTS THIS WEEK
Manager Bill Coughlin Will
Begin With Bookie and
Voter an Pitchers
Scranton, Pa., April 9.—By the end
of the coming week most of the can
didates for jobs on the Scranton team,
of the New York State League, in the
1917 race, will have reported to Man
ager Bill Coughlin at the Athletic
Park training grounds.
It is Bill's plan to bring on the
rookie and veteran pitchers and catch
ers first and put them through the
paces for a few days and have them
in good shape for the rest of their
teammates when they report.. Cough
lin has a definite plan for the coming
campaign though he is not telling tt
to any one but Owner Robert Allen,
who has held numerous conferences
with the team pilot during the winter
season.
It is believed, however, that most of
the reliables from last year's squad
will be on hand trying for their old
places. Of these, it is almost assured
that Catcher Brannan, First Baseman
Walsh, Second Baseman Purtell and
Outfielder McCabe will have first call
for their old jobs. Third Baseman
Almedia, Infielder Cranston and Out
lielder Cad Coles will not be returned.
Neither will Pitchers Doc Adkins or
Jack Fox be asked to report.
Some Weak Spots
Coughlin has a number of weak
spots to bolster up, and these prin
cipally are second base, third base and
left field. His pitching staff is a bit
uncertain, and he will have to do some
tall hustling to build it to the
strength attained by Wilkes-Barre,
Klmlra and Syracuse. He Is depend
ing confidently on Hugh Jennings to
do something for him, the Detroit
leader ha.'ing given his word that he
would give the Miners a hand.
So far Coughlin has not arranged a
single exhibition game, which is en
tirely different to the system that he
has employed since he replaced
Johnny Kelly at the head of the team.
Bill thinks there is no better way lo
judge a player than to work right
with him in the preliminary stunts,
and he has decided to dispense with
the majority of the exhibition games
this year. Instead he will bring on a
number of the big league teams lo
play Sunday games at the new park
in Dickson City.
Elmira Veterans Not Sure
About Their Regular Jobs
Elmira, N. Y., April 9.—A1l the vet
eran players on the local New York
League team began to shake in their
hoots to-day when Manager Jimmy
Jackson made the announcement that
he contemplated a big shake-up in
the personnel of the club.
Two new candidates for first base,
a new shortstop who comes highly
recommended, and a hard-hitting out
fielder are among the latest candi
dates for positions on the team, ac
cording to Jackson's statement.
Local fans are expecting to see an
almost entirely new pitching staff and
the veterans will have to hustle to
keep their jobs.
It is also expected that with the
exception of Second Baseman Loudy
the infield will be entirely new. John
L. Sullivan, the hard-hitting outfielder
who was one of the stars of the league
last year, will not return to baseball
this year, as he has announced that he
has obtained a good position in Wil
liamsport, and expects Ho make a little
extra money playing games on Satur
day afternoons and holidays.
Manager Jackson received some
good cheer to-day from Manager
Wilbert Robinson, of the Brooklyn
team, who promises Jackson that lie
will send him a couple of clever young
twirlers before May 1.

York Boxing Program
to Be Battle of Roses;
Johnny Wolgast on Bill
York. Pa., April 9.—Another battle of
roses is the card for to-morrow night
before the York Athletic Club, in York,
at the Orpheum theatre, and Manager
Barrett has arranged a card that will
no doubt give the fans a real run for
their money. Four fighters from Lan
caster will combat four from York.
Johnnie Wolgast, the crack welter
weight. who has shown he is as fast
as they make them, will meet Johnnie
Gill, York's pride in the same class,
and while Lancaster and Harrisburg
sports think Wolgast will beat the
Yorker, the white rose sports think
otherwise. Tim Droney, who boxed
Champion Kllbane, at the club's last
show, will meet Young Gilly, the south
ern lightweight title holder.
Buck Taylor, York's best feather
weight, will clash with Young McGin
nis. Young Slier, a newcomer In the
game, will meet Allen Putt. The first
bout will start at 8.30 sharp.
Miss Chloe Fry Elected
Captain of Girls' Team
The Girls' basketball team of the
Camp Hill High school elected Miss
Chloe Fry captain of next year's team.
Miss Fry is a forward and has always
played a consistent game. The out
lok for a promising team next year
is bright as none of this year's team
is lost by graduation. In fact, the
team this season was composed of
Freshmen with but one exception.

PULL THE "TRIGGER,
IT ISN'T LOADED
IDEA BY CLETUSCOJKON,
MARYSVILLE, PA.
MONDAY EVENING,
& GraiUlancl&ice
(Copyright, 1917, The Tribune Ass'n.)
John J. Evers, of Troy. N. Y„ Boston, Mass., and baseball in general, sat
in front of a South Georgia hotel, basking in the spring sun and looking out
beyond the palmettos and the pines in what might be termed a wistful attitude.
John J. was discussing a matter of youth and age, a subject fairly well
known for the last few hundred thousand years.
"I have always," remarked John J., "felt very much like a kid each spring.
J have been easily able to imagine that I was one of the recruits. 1 have
almost felt kittenish. But this spring, in a way, has been different. Not be
cause I have felt any older or slower or grayer. But I'll tell you how it is."
The ARC Maker
"I happened a few days ago to be looking over the list of National league
players. It was at this moment that 1 suddenly began to feel as if I were
getting along over the far road and might be on toward the end. For in that
list there was not a single player who was in the National League when I
broke in, fifteen years ago. There wasn't a single player left who was in the
league my second year. With Matty a manager and Hans Wagner about to
retire, I was the veteran."
Evers the Vet
"How does it feel, Johnny," we inquired, "to be The Bast of the Mohicans
—the last of the Old Guard—the veteran player in a major league? Does it
make any difference in your mental attitude or not?"
"It can't help but make a difference," said John,ny. "When you know
that you are the last of a certain tribe, the big tribe of 1902, which numbered
200 men, you can't help but feel that your time isn't very far away. When
Matty and Wagner were around as active players I could still feel them be
tween me and the quitting point. I could still feel young. But when they
faded out the old skyline was wide open and here I was on the trail all by
myself. There was no one between me and (he setting sun. It was then a
question of maybe this year, or maybe next—but tfretty soon. I had hoped
to serve twenty years as a big leaguer, the only little fellow in the game to
go this distance. I'm still feeling great and I was never going better until I
hurt my arm, but I don't know now whether I can go five years longer or not.
It is easier traveling with a pacemaker, but out in front of the age pack I
am now setting my own pace. Which makes a difference—quite a difference."
Age Trips
Johnny was right in this respect. No little fellow has ever gone anything
like twenty years. Bajoie, Wagner, Anson and Young were all big men and so
able to stand up under the hard and heavy burden. The only wonder is that
a bundle of nerves such as J. Evers happens to be could have lasted this long
with the many rabid assaults he has drawn from fate.
Johnny has traveled over the long road with his eyes opened. He has seen
more than his feet. On. the field he may be a firebrand, but off the -field he is
a philospher and a student. He is one of the keenest, closest observers we have
seen and by all odds one of the most interesting citizens who ever wore the
spikes.
Still Yotmg in Looks
No one to-day would ever figure Evers as the veteran infielder of two major
leagues.
In the two training camps there are something over 500 players. He might
easily be taken as one of the younger crop, not a recruit, but one who had ser
ed only three or five years. Slender and trim, without a wrinkle or gray hair,
still full of life, you would never pick this man out as the veteran major leaguer
of his day and time.
You would never figure that he could sit and look back beyond the days when
Ed Walsh and Miner Brown began and finished —beyond the day when Matty
was just swinging into his first fame; beyond the day when McGraw had won
his first flag; before the old Cub machine had even started; before Ty Cobb
had ever made a base hit.
The Game's AVontler
If Evers was physically strong his steel made nerve would have taken him
along over indefinite paths. He has gone on forward where the average long
ago would have faded back into the mists and the records. He may not be
any philospher upon the field where his intense earnestness often carries him
further than he should go, but for all that he is the wonder of baseball—a
slight, lone figure still holding the road beyond the pack with his old clan dis
mantled and dispersed by Time—still holding the way with his head up—a
human splinter—a bundle of raw nerves—piking along with no one between
him and the setting sun as he moves along on a line parallel with destiny and
fate.
The answer is simple enough. Of all who ever played he was vital spark
at its greatest glow.
ATHLETE BERRY
HAS YOUNG RIVAL
Joseph Howard Berry has a rival.
The Pennsylvania sensation plays foot
ball, baseball, runs and boxes, but out
in Minnesota they have a youngster
who competes in six sports and any
lad who is good enough to make a
sextet of teams is certainly entitled to
be called versatile. This lad, who is
a student at Huron College, last year

GARNET TEAM IS
EASY WINNER
Outplay Local Independents,
Holding the Ball Most of the
Time; Kerr Stars
Philadelphia's Garnet five outplayed
tlio local Independents Saturday, win
ning by a score of 28 to 19. The visi
tors were fast and had a style of of
fense and defense that prevented the
local stars from getting many chances
to shoot.
The Garnets were in possession of
the ball most of the time. The best
that Harrisburg could do was three
field goals. Herr jumped center for
the Quakers. He has been a big star
on the Jasper team all season and his
work Saturday night was a factor in
the victory. Haire was the best on
floor work. McConnell and McCord

GRIFFITH TO CURTAIL COMEDY
Washington, D. C„ April 9.—Clark
Grimth, manager of the Washlngtons,
has decided, to curtail comedy on the
coaching lines. He has released Saw
yer, one of the funniest coachers ever
seen In the American Association. Saw
yer is an inflelder, but he didn't play
regularly with the Senators last year.
Instead he cut capers on the lines and
made thousands of American I/eague
fans roar with laughter. But Griffith
says that one clown is enough for any
team. He will keep Nick Altrock to
provoke mirth In the ball parks, and
the latter promises to moke the public
forget the antics of Sawyer.

and a suitable celebration. School

America would be the participants in
the celebration.

SPORT WRITERS TO
SAVE BOXING BILL
New York, April 9.—lf the sugges
tion of a board of censorship composed
of writers on sports, which hits been
submitted to Governor Whitman, does
not sftve the Frawley law, then the
case is hopeless.
The proposal has real merit, for it
would be hardly possible for a board
composed of twenty-four writers to go
far wrong on any question. There
would unquestionably be radical differ
ences of opinion, as is the case in de
cision on bouts, but when a majority
of twenty-four boxing critics voted in
favor,of any proposition it would prove
in a majority of instances to be a cor
rect solution of the problem.
