CAMP HILL OPENS BASKETBALL SEASON; HEYDLER WANTS CO-OPERATION IN BASEBALL I Camp Hill to Cut Loose Tomorrow Night With First Basketball Game of Season The Camp Hill High school will open Its basketball season Friday evening', December 13, in a game with Oberlin High school. As a result of stern practice a fairly good team has bgen developed by Camp Hill, al though Captain Nell, H. Harison and * Bowman are tho only ones with ex perience. Competition Is lively enough, for squads of boys have applied for a chance to show form on the 'Varsity v five, so that no berth is guaranteed lest some lad makes good and crowds out a veteran. Cheer leading will be handled by Miss Carrie Thompson, Miss Carolyn Straub, Ed. Hamme nnd Robert Jones. It will be their duty to Jazz up things with cheer and song. It has been proved that the girls' ap plause inspires the boys to go over the top. To-morrow's contest should be worth seeing, and tho management hopes that the "West Shore folks will turn out strongly to give the young folks encouragement, thus helping to develop school spirit. All students have the privilege of purchasing season tickets, which will admit them to all games. Admission for other people will be nominal. The game will be called at 8 o'clock.

What ~ Mor Could He Wish? ,-VYou ask for my daughter? What are your prospects young man? Do you own the house you live in?" "No, I rent it, but I have five tons of coal in the cellar." "Take her."—Louisville Courier- Journal. San Francisco, Dec. 12. —The Chi cago Cubs have closed the deal for Charley Pick, the man who went to them from the Seals last fall and played such good bull in the world's series. Dr. Strub was rather hoping the Cubs would fail to come through with the $4,500, for he would rath er have Pick than the money, but Manager Mitchell, of the Cubs, liked Pick's work so well that ho has closed the deal. Pick was the best third baseman in the Coast League, but he was put on second for the Cpbs and was a star there. Manager Graham would have welcomed Pick's return here, to help steady some of his young players. Pick is not a bit enthusias tic about the big leagues, and would rather play out here, but the big money is up there, so he will take a :hance. ARROW COLLARS CLUETT. PEABODY a CO. INC.

"Assuredly the tide has turned. It is for all of us—National Leaguers and American Leaguers, who repre sent only the big cities from the At lantic to the Mississippi, and the minor leaguers, who speak for all the rest of this great country as well as for our Canadian friends—to get" fogether, take advantage of favoring conditions and start the baseball craft in the rigkt direction."
