SPORTS-NOBLE FRANK, CENTRAL HIGH TOSSER, IS LEADING SCHOLASTIC LEAGUE HARRY DAVIS TO QUIT BASEBALL Will Give Attention to Busi ness and Politics; Long With Athletics Philadelphia, Jan. 29.—Yester day marked the passing of one of local baseball's most prominent fig ures in all its history. Harry Davis, captain of the Athletics in all their greatest years, had a talk with Con nie Mack yesterday afternoon, and told the tall tactician that he wished to retire from the game. Mack has a new team to put on the field this year, and Harry felt that his busi ness cares were of such magnitude as to make it advisable for him to keep away from the worries that •would be his as captain of a new Harry is also making a name for himself in the political world, and this fact also made him decide not to be in baseball this year. As ho himself said last night, he has cer tainly "served his time." There is no telling as yet who his successor will be. Ail the other veterans of the great days have passed to other clubs und liis successor will prob ably be some veteran newcomer to the club. I Native or Philadelphia Harry was born in Philadelphia in 1573 and received ins education at Girard College. While there Davis showed considerable aptitude as a ballplayer and in 1894 he was signed l>y the Providence (R. I.) club. The following year he was with Paw tucket. K. 1., and later_ln the season was secured by New York. At that time he was troubled with rheu matism in the legs, and New York let him go to Pittsburgh in 1896. He played there for two years and then went to Providence in IS9S and 1900. In 1901 Davis decided to quit baseball and secured a position in Philadelphia. Connie Mack, need ed a first baseman badly and made overtures to Davis but the latter re fused them until Mack's offer was' so large that Davis could not refuse. He joined the Athletics in the middle of the 1903 season and was a grerft factor in the team's success •until 1911, when he gave way to Mclnnes at first base and confined himself to'coaching and captaining from the bench. That fall Mclnnes was unable to play in the World's Series with the Giants owing to an injured arm, and Davis substituted lor him acceptably. In 1912 Davis became manager of the Cleveland team. 1 -esigned toward the close of I' ? season. In 1913 he was re entragred by the Athletic Club to act • as coach, assistant captain and gen eral utility man, which position he retained in 1914. Lee Magee Must Stand For Big Cut in Salary; No More Soft Money New York, Jan. 29.—Lee Magee. the .former Yankee outfielder, re ceived a contract this year which ptoved quite a shock to the sandy haired boy from Connecticut, but was no more than he reasonably could ex#eet. Lee's contract for 1918 calls for less than half the amount he drew from the Yankees and Browns during the last two sea sons. Lee had a Federal League con tract calling for 125,000 for three years, which was taken over by Cap Huston when Lee was brought by the Yankees. As Magee hit a bare .200 in 87 sanies last season it is doubtful if Ilia new contract calls for more than $3,000 a year. A cut from $8,333 to $3,000 is some reduction', But Lee may comfort himself with the fact that the $25,000 he drew down in the last three years was as soft money as ever made a big leaguer. The complete breakdown of Magee upon coming to New York always will remain one of the mysteries of the game. Magee was a very good player in the National League. George Stallings said of him in the spring of 1916: "He approaches Cobb closer than any man playing ball to-day." However, in his season and a half with the Yankees Magee proved the greatest disappointment that ever wore a New York uniform. His work in 1916 was a disappointment, but he was expected to get out of his rut in 1917. when instead he broke down completely in fielding as well as in hitting. Toronto Fans Anxious For Big League Sport Philadelphia, Jan. 29.—Baseball fans in Toronto do not expect to be without their portion of games next season regardless of how the war may affect the loca lactivities there. I'luna are being made to have sev eral major league, teams from the United States play games. Sol Sol man, of thp Toronto Club, is quoted as being in favor of such a proposal. Air. Sol man states: "The experience of the Chicago National, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, and New York Americans in Toronto last summer has caused the club to be deluged with applications for exhibition games at the Island Stadium next year. "Should the International mag nates at their schedule meeting on February 12 decide that.it would be inadvisable to play ball during the 191S season, It is proposed to bring the Washington team to Toronto for ah entire series with the Western teams of the AmericaVi League, ,viz., the world's champion Chicago White Sox; Detroict Tigers, Cleveland In dians and St. Louis Browns. The proposal is for sixteen consecutive games at the Island Stadium, each of the Western teams playing four games with the Washington team at Toronto instead of at Washington. The Toronto and Washington teams are now negotiating to this end." HOSPITAL HONORS WOMAN Or.

Merelv get in a bunch and mention some one pitcher as being the grea - est of the" lot for all time. Then sit back and observe the language pour in a solid stream. • , . THE TpST We found this out some time ago when we unfurled our dope on the greatest ball club of all time. This line-up produced the H P ec n no™ o a r m ° u " of correspondence. Very few disputed Buck Swings reign as cat of them were willing to admit that Eddie Ccjllins, Hans Wagner and Jimm> Collins were supreme around the infield. p . . Practically none disputed the overwhelming greatness of Cobb, iveeier all the wonder work that Christy .Hathewson has done froni 1901 to 1916, the name of the uil-star pitcher brought on the big de THE MASTER OF MOUND In naming this selection there was a wide discrepancy. Some of the old timers stood by Radbourne. _ V few named Amos Rusie. But in the main the votes were cast for cy Young and Walter Johnson, with Ed Walsh and Alexander also named. Most of those, however, who didn't vote for Matty were for either \ oung or Johnson. Here were the main arguments: . For Young—Won more ball games by a wide margin than any pitcher that ever worked. Pitched more ball games by a wide margin than an> other man. Was therefore the most useful. Made his great record witn two clubs, Cleveland and Boston—West and East— to show he could meet any change. Worked with pennant winners and with losing teams, but was alW For Johnson —Has been handicapped most of the time by a w® a k '• but in spite of this did wonderful work. Had more speed and was haider to hit than any other. Would have made an even more remarkable record if he had been with the Giants, as Matty was. With a strong club back of him to get a few runs would have been unbeatable. YOUNG, JOHNSON AND MATTY There is so much to be said in favor of all three men that no definite proof can ever be collected to settle the debate. It is still a matter of opin ion, and not a matter of record. All three were big, powerful men with a world of stamina. Young had the greatest stamina of them all, as his twenty-two years o£ work will show, embracing over 800 ball games and over 500 victories. On the basis of games won, Young would lead the field. . .. . It may be that Walter Johnspn, pitching for the Giants, would have reached the greatest heights of the lot. He has the* stuff a^ >ou ,f ' *? e stuff there is. 'Speed and control are two great features, and he has both, and has both in abundance. But for all that, neither Johnson nor Young has ever shown Mathewson's amazing versatility. He had line speed in his youth, and when this left him he still remained a great pitcher through the employment of luudwork and courage. # , Mathewson was a winning pttcher after he had lost most of his speed. Would Young and Johnson, minus speed, still be winning factois. Mathew son -tlso did an enormous amount of work that was never registered Day after day he had to warm up in order to be able to relievo some faltering 'm ite He did much more of this work than either Johnson or Young. In " oS Mathewson worked almost every other day for the la* few He was not Ed Walsh's equal in this respect, but for all that his burden was heavy. , THE UNDISPUTED Four men on the all-star line were absolutely undisputed. They were Hans Wagner at short and Cobb, Speaker and Keeler for the outfield. There were those who believed that Chase should displace Tenny and that Lajoie should displace Eddie Collins. Also that Kling or Mike Kelly or Bresnahan should displace Buck Ewing. But Wagner, Cobb. Speaker and Keeler stood unchallenged all the way. THE TWO LEADERS Out of the entire array it was almost universally voted that Wagner stands os the all-time king of iniielders, with Cobb the all-time of out fielders, batting and baserunning being used to sum up the complete ac count. These two stand beyond any and all challenging. One Is the most useful inilelder that ever lived; the other the most useful outfielder. And between them they have drawn in more money at the gate than any other ball players. Mount Union Tossers Start School Series Mount Union, Pa., Jan. 29.

Game is Plentiful The region, which has been kept near to Its pristine state, is also the home of deer, bear, wildcat, grouse and other native Pennsylvania game, and during the past several years has been stocked with elk and wild turkeys, planted by State Game Commissioner Kalbfus, who, by ar rangement with the owners, made about 3,000 acres of the tract a state game preserve. The elk are thriving and, being protected until 1920, are developing into quite a herd, but the wild turkeys persit in roaming over the countryside, and fall frequent victims to the rifles of the hunters.

LOSS OF EHMKE CAUSES WORRY Hugh Jenniugs Built ' Great Hope on This Twirler; Needs Pitchers Scranton, Jan. 29. —Manager Hugh Jennings, of the Detroit Tigers, said that one of the worst blows his team's pennant prospects could pos sibly suffer was administered by news from Los Angeles that Howard Ehmke had enlisted in the Navy. Ehmke's loss to the Tigers seems to many that an already weak pitch ing corps is going to be the cause of mow worry to the sorrel leader. Jennings, together with President Navin, had been hoping that Ehmke would take his chance in the draft, and was not prepared to hear that he had taken the initiative. Jen nings expected much from the tall youth this year, he said. One liad Inning Ehmke last year had a one-bad inning jinx that handicapped his ef fectiveness to a material extent, but Hughie attributes to the fact that Howard was an untutored lad who needed only experience. But he is positively lost to the Bengals this year, his labors at a submarine base in the Pacific ocean precluding his signing a Detroit contract until the war is over. Jennings says it looks very much as though*he would have to again place his dependence on the veteran moundsmen. Unless one or two of the recruits gleaned from the minors last fall deliver in unexpected fashion, Bill James, George Dauss, George Cunningham, Bernie Boland, Harry Coveleskie, Willie Mitchell and Carroll Jones will shoulder the burden. Doubts About Coveleskie Doubts are expressed as to Cove leskie's ability to come back, how ever. Hugh declares that Harry has given his salary whip the best of care, in the hope that' it will re gain its cunning, and he feels that his career in the majors is not fin ished yet by a long shot. Detroit got five pitchers from the bush leagues last fall, one of whom, Ernest Allen, from the Springfield, 0., club, has been drafted by the Army. Joseph Finneran was pur chased from St. Paul, in the Amer ican Association. Herbert Hall comes up from Joplin,, in the West ern League. Ray Kallito was fur nished by San Francisco, and H. G. Polsen wks discovered at Denlson, in the Western Association. Jennings stated that, according to a Los Angeles message, Ehmke, who is some musician, is playing a saxo phone in the band at the submarine station. Not a Word Spoken at This Wedding Baltimore, Md.—A marriage cere mony, without a word spoken, took place yesterday afternoon at Loy ola College. The sign language was used by the priest, bride, bridegroom, trloesmaid and best man. Miss Grace E. Wilhelm was the bride, and George A. Koenig was the bridegroom. William Dilworth, known in sporting circles as "Dum mle Decker," was best man, and his wife, Mrs. Dilworth, was the matron of honor. The ceremony was per formed by the Rev. M. A. Partell, of Loyola College, whose work Is largely among the deaf. Miss Wilhelm and Mr. Koenig first met when they were puolls at the Maryland School for the Deaf in Frederick.

The Central center showed that- he can do good work from the fifteen-foot mark even when away from home, by scoring 13 out of 18 at Felton Hall. Nyquist of Read ing, passed Ginerich of York, tak ing second position. Nyquist is the same lad who was among the lead ers last season. He is still eligible next year. In his two contests, both of which were played away from home, he has run up 40 points for an average of 20 per game. "Dutch" Miller broke into the game the past week for Tech, 'but scored 17 points, giving him eighth place in the race. He was given a chance to throw fouls in the second half of the Allentown fame, and net ted five out of seven chances. Leb anon's Miller, despite the fact that he plays a guard position,- leads in field goals with 18. He is doing his of fensive work at the expense of Cen ter Trout. After the tossup at cen ter, Miller invariably goes up the floor, wlile Trout goes back on the defense.

Ailentown, Steelton and Reading have fallen victims to Coach Bilheimer's proteges. The game will take place at Chestnut street audi torium one day earlier than sched uled. The change was necessary so that the auditorium could be secured. A victory for Tech will send the Maroon into a tie with the White Roses for first place. To keep in the running for the pennant Tech will have to land the contest T< will be the first time this season that York has played away from home and this should favor the local aggregation. Players After Honors In Gingrich at forward, and Mc- Laughlin at center, York has two stars who are bidding for high indi vidual honors in the league, poach Miller had his squad at practice last evening from 6 to 7 o'clock on the Chestnut street floor, and several changes in the lineup arc likely to take place. The coach is in pursuit Pay your mon • take your choice Do you want to get a smoke for a nickel that will give you no satisfaction or will you pay an extra penny for good old King Oscar—Qu They cost you six cents now, but these are war times and they are worth it Quality —FIRST, LAST and ALL THE TIME John C. Herman & Co.- Makers their games have been on the York fioor. As soon as they start to swing around the circuit, they will find that the other teams are capable of winning too at home. York played the same kind of a hand last season. After leading in the first half, they dropped back quickly after they be gan to play away from home. Tech lost one big opportunity of the season, when they dropped a two points margin contest to Lebanon last week. The quintet that can win one or two games on foreign courts will be the team that will land the pennant. Had Tech used any Judg ment in selecting a fbul tosser, they would have won by a close margin. At the next meeting of the league officials the matter of rating the players in the league standing will be discussed. It is apparent, that the player who tosses the fouls, is sure to have an advantage over the ath lete who does not work from the fif teen-foot mark. The guards too are offensive players, and the question of crediting a player for an assist will hold the officials' attention. Allen town showed that it is In company too fast for their class. The players are good sized but young and inex perienced. In another year, they may come Into their own. The leading offensive players from each team follow: Frank, Central, Nyquist, Reading: Gingerich, York: Coleman, Steelton: Miller, Lebanon; Weston, Allentown; and Miller, Tech. Complete data follows: of a good foul shooter and hopes to unearth one for the York game. "Dave" McConnell will referee the contest, while Earl Killinger will call the fouls in the preliminary clash be tween the Juniors and Seniors. The odds are in favor of the Seniors who are playing a lengthy schedule of games in addition to the interclass affairs. Dancing will follow the case sport. Larry Lajoie Not for Sale; Is Property of Toronto Toronto, Ont., Jan. 29.—President McCafTery, of the Toronto club, does not know anything about the report that Owner C. H. Weeghman, of the Chicago Nationals, is prepared to make a bid for the services of Larry Lajoie. "If he is in the market for the big fellow," said McCaffery, "I am the man to approach. Lajoie belongs to the Toronto club, and be fore anybody y?an do business with him they must see me first." The story-from Chicago is to the effect that the Cubs want as first baseman and pinch hitter. In the last few months Lajoie has beef "lo cated" with nearly every club in the majors, and not a few minor league clubs. It is a poor day when he is not placed with some other team than the one to which he belongs. Mr. McCaffery says that If the In ternational League is in existence this year Lajoie will manage the Toron to team and no other, and that all guesses and conjectures to the con trary are wide of mark. / W CORNER^ Harrisburg has had some thrillers in cage contests, but none had any thing on those at Cathedral Hall last night.
