Little or nothing was known of Alex ander as a minor leaguer. So obscure was ho that ho was obtained in the draft He was obliged to prove his worth as a "rooky," and at one time there was some discussion as to whether he would be among those retained during his first year with the Phillies.

The game last night was captured by the Independents by a score of 50 to 42. The Hassett boys did not play very fast during the first period of the contest and the Independents run up the score. Supporters of the Hassett Club were rather pessimistic over the outcome of the game at the close of the first half when the Independents led the score by a good margin. Hassett Shows Form At the opening of the second half the Hassett boys made an entirely different appearance and played the Independents off their feet. At the first toss up of the ball in the sec ond half, the Hassett stars got the jump on their opponents and com pletely outclassed them during the remainder of the contest. The con- ACADEMY WORKS FOR HARD GAME Meet Central High Varsity Five on Auditorium Floor Friday Night Central High varsity tossers will go up against Harrisburg Academy five Friday night at Chestnut Street Auditorium. A good contest is ex pected. Neither team is sure of win ning as both have won and lost two games. Including Central's league games only. Each team is working hard. The Academy practice is much interfered with by the preparation for the coming Academy track meet, but workouts are being held almost daily. Need Stronger Offensive Work The offensive work of the Blue and Gold needed polishing as many poor passes had been nl9.de in for mer games, but their defensive work is excellent. The squad is showing plenty of spirit and the attendance at practice is very good. Scrim mages are held daily and form the greater part of the time taken up In practice. Coach Gavin is much pleased with the work of his charges and has largely been responsible for their success. lie will probably re main as coach throughout the bas ketball season, though it was once rumored he had given up his work. The teams will probably line up as follows: Central A cadency Wright, f. Wren./f. Rogers, f. DeVore, f. Frank, c. Weigle, c. Wolf, g. Newlin, g. Fileds, g. Miller, g.

Pipp is not mar ried, and his family is financially well ofT and he did not make a claim for exemption.

PA IITj SMITH TO BOSTON NeV York, Feb. 12.—The Boston American League club announced to-day the purchase of Outfielder Paul Smith from the Montreal club of the International League. tenders for the championship looked like a well-balanced team. In fact the team put up a much better game against the Independents than some of the famous aggregations that have been here this season. Huston, captain of the Tech team, played a sensational game, caging three field goals and tossing 21 of 22 from the free line. All of Hus ton's teammates played fast ball and played a big part in the splendid showing of the team. The score and lineup: Hassetts. Independents. Huston, t. N. Ford, f. Sourbier, f. Wallower, f.

TEMPLE TEAM TO PLAY HASSETTS Gymnastic School Lads Want Another Chance at Local Independents Local basketball fans will see a fast cage team at work on next Wednesday night. The famous Tem ple University team of Philadelphia is scheduled to play the Hassett five. The game will be played at Cathe dral Hall. This is the first time Temple has played In Ilarrisburg. The Temple girls' team was here two seasons ago and lost to Hassett co-eds. The Hassetts are anxious for an other game with the Independents, but want a fair consideration in ar rangements. While it is conceded that the next game if played should be on a floor selected by Hassett, it is understood that the manage ment of the Harrisburg Independ ents last night insisted on his term 3, and a purse of SSOO. Referring to this, the Rev. T. B. Johnson, general director of athletics for the Hassett School of Gymnastics, said: "We are an amateur team. The Hassets are not out for the cash. That would make us professionals. A second game will bo played, but not according to terms offered last night. I was unable to make any definite arrangement, but if the In dependent management desires to bo fair the Hassett team will meet them on February 22. we to select the place and name the terms. If the Hassett five wins, then It will be a tossup as to arrangements for the third contest. We ask only what Is right In division of receipts, and a fifty-fifty arrangement regard ing the rules to govern the game." Central High Girls Win Second Game From Hershey At Hershey last night the Central High girls won over the Hershey five, score 14 to 13. It was a spirited contest from start to finish. While the local five showed superiority over Hershey girls, victory did not come as easy as in the first game played in this city. One player on each team was the individual star. Miss Emanuel ran up the points for Central and Miss Stuckey was the pointmaker for Hershey. Both teams played a re markable game in both defensive and offensive work. The lineup and summary follow: Central. Hershey. Emanuel, f. Zerbe, f. Shupp, f. Stuckey, f. Watts, c. Holtz, c. Maurer, g. Carman, g. I.ongsdorf, g. Hershey, g. Field goals—Emanuel, 5; Stuck ey, 3.

Clou ser, of Camp Hancock, Ga. f WELLY LP W CORONER- Manager Gordon Ford's Independ ents last night won over the Has setts in the first of a series of games to decide the local championship. It was' not an easy victory and in the next game, if another contest takes place, local fans are likely to see the Hassett tossers still stronger. Had the gymnastic school five played with the same linkup in the first that worked during the second period, it is a general belief the final result would have been changed. With no desire to find fault with lieferee Clint White in his work last night, there should have been a neu tral referee. Someone always blun ders when a championship title series is at stake. White is a good man, but there were many spectators at last night's game who are of the opinion that the result would have been more satisfactory had there been a neutral official. Referee White knows the independent game and is no slouch on national rules, so it is easy for him to overlook some details covered by intercollegi ate rules.

LEMOYNE SCHOOLS TO OPEN Lemoyne, Pa., Feb. 13.—Lemoyne schools will open to-morrow morn ing for regular sessions after be ing closed for about five weeks on account of the exhaustion of coal supply. School directors were able to get a carload of coal which will keep the fires burning In the insti tution for about five weeks. The time lost during the close up will be made up at the expiration of the present term. "Round Table" Talks For School Directors Much of the formality which has been observed at the regular school board meetings will be eliminated when some of the new efurniture which has been ordered is placed. Heretofore the board members seated at separate desks face the president who lias the secretary at. bis right and the superintendent on the left. It was decided a few weeks ago to take out the desks and substitute a long table around which the presi dent and directors will sit. Members of the board said they believe the new plan will be a big help as it will promote a spirit of informality which will bring about helpful discussions of school Improvement work. The usual order of business will be fol lowed as required by law. but much of the unnecessary detail will be omitted. Bids for the $230,000 bond issue au thorized recently will bo asked for soon. it. was announced. The next meeting of the board will be held on Friday.

KING OSCAR CIGARS offer that same smoke satisfaction which they have always offered and it is just like a fellow said the other day, "They never were any better than they are now" Do you know if he is right? John C. Herman & Co. MAKERS 11 a second game should be arranged at cording to the wishes of the Has sett management, with a neutral of ficial, the game to be played on a fifty-fifty basis. What might be a good thing for a future contest like that of last night would be to have a double referee system. Use the National rule man in the half his game is being played, and reverse the oficlals in the sec ond half. The night of Friday. Feb ruary 22, would be a good time to have the next contest. National League officials were not very active yesterday, but at to day's session had a big calendar of business to look after. The collec tion of war tax at all games was up for a lengthy discussion. In a further effort to show their patriotism. National League officials yesterday cut salaries from the high est-paid employe down. Even the umps get a reduction. The game is to be kept going at a less cost. It is the only way to assure success, according to the opinion of owners and managers. Save wherever pos sible. ST. LOUIS MAY GET YOUNG STARS After Services of Former Blue Ridge League Pacemakers; Abandon Sunday Plans Hagerstown, Md., Feb. 13.—Tlire* former stars of the Blue Ridge Baseball League, Johnny Bates, Marvin Goodwin and Reggie Raw lings, may wear uniforms of the St. Louis Cardinals this season. Bates, who was the heaviest hitter in the circuit and made Martinsburg a ter ror to the other teams, became known as the "home run king" of the league. Goodwin, one of the best pitchers of the league last year, who recom mended Bates to St. Louis, is now in training in an aviation school, while Rawlings would in all probability be in the big show this year if he had not joined the colors. Me is now in the Quartermasters Department "do ing his bit" over in France. The St. Louts club drafted Bates last tall, but later canceled it, fear ins that he might he a draftee. Bates so far has escaped and the chances are that the Cards may purchase him from Martinsburg. Abandon Sunday Plans Opposition to the plan to play Sunday baseball here is spreading so rapidly among the churches and church organizations that all hope of it ever being realized, at least dur ing the coming season, has been abandoned. Five Sunday schools of the city and the Hagerstown Minis terial Association so far have adopt ed resolutions protesting against Sunday ball. Farewell to C.
