No Brass Bands For
Major League Stars
New York. Feb. 13.—Baseball his
tory has proved that the players
who develop into the major league
stars enter the big show unheralded
and unsung. Wagner, Mathowson,
Speaker, Cobb, Collins, Alexander,
Johnson and many others made their
entrance under modest and, in many
Instances, unknown circumstances.
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.

HASSETTS LOSE FIRST
GAME TO INDEPENDENTS;
GIVE FINE EXHIBITION
Judging from the caliber of bas
ketball displayed in a game with the
Harrisburg Independents last night,
•the Hassett club five is the fastest
amateur organization in the city.
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.

WALTER PIPP IN CLASS A
New York. Feb. IS.—Walter Pipp,
flrst-saeker for the Yankees and one
of the most reliable sluggers of the
New York team, has been placed in
class 1, division A, of the draft, it
was learned to-day. Pipp is not mar
ried, and his family is financially
well ofT and he did not make a claim
for exemption. It was hoped to-day
ho would be able to play at least a
part of the season, owing to the ab
sence of any immediate possibility
of the calling of men in the second
draft.
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

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.

Lemoyne, Feb. I.l.—Street car traf
fic on West Shore lines suffered from
two mishaps yesterday.# Between 4
and 5 o'clock a loose wheel disabled
a New Cumberland car, which held
up traffic on the West Shore lines
with the exception of Enola and,
Marysville. Residents going to and
from work in Lemoyne, Camp Hill
and New Cumberland were compelled
to walk. The system was tied up
for more than an hour. The second
halt in the service came about 10
o'clock, when a blower on one of
the boilers at the United Electric
plant broke down. This caused the
steam pressure to go down and no
electric power was generated for the
can
Chicago loses the money. A stricter
enforcement of the coaching rules
was recommended, so that "goat
getting'" tactics from the coaching
lines or the players' benches will be
eliminated as far as possible in fu
ture.
A readjustment of official salaries
was confirmed during the regular
league meeting, but just how far this
retrenchment went was not made
known.

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.
If the management of the Harris
burg Independents wants to bo fair,

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.

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.
