SAMMY SCHIFF
sey thinks that Georges Carpcntier
will give him more trouble than
Jess Wlllard: "I will knock out
Willard inside of six rounds." For
the big Frenchman he has more re
spect, since he is clever, strong and
of Dompsey's weight. The American
champion however is sure he can
defeat him.
The SI,OOO is to be deposited im
mediately at the box office of the

who has the nerve to try to win it
by staying three rounds with the
human trip-hammer.

F.iioln, Jan. 17. —The committee of
the Enola Fire Company, No. 1, is
meeting with success in their can
vass of the town in- soliciting funds
for the maintenance of the company
for the year. Some time ago a plan
was made to ask the property own
ers to subscribe $1 each per year,
this would enable the company to
meet all expenses and thus do
away with all festival. Already 75
per cent, of the property owners
have paid their amount and the
committee is now at work to collect
all of the other property owners.

TECH OPENS
LEAGUE SEASON
Frisky Dutch From Allentown
Start Tilings Tonight a!
Chestnut Street
The Technical High School basket- j
ball quintet will -Open its 1919 bas- !
ketball season, to-night at Chestnut
Street Auditorium, having Allentown
as its opponent. It will be the first
league r-ontest for Tech,-while the
viistors have already contested in
two battles. Every quintet in the
league will bo in action. York goes
to Heading, and Lebanon visits Steel
ton. Lancsater will never be missed.
After leaving llarrisburg, A-llentown
will stop off at Lebanon for another
game. "
Coach Miller w ill in all probability
use the same nine players who par
ticipated last week. Captain Lingle,
Ebner and "Johnny" .Beclt will form
the offense. Wilrbaeh and Frank arc
both going to have a chance at the
pivotal position. At the defense
there are two full sets of players.
"Hennie" Kohlman and "Eggie" Beck
will start the contest, with "Johnny"
Smith and "Vic" Bihl ready at any
time to jump into the fray.
Allentown will come" to this city
with three veteran players. While
they will make a better showing than
last year's team, they, can hardly be
expected to trim the local squad on
its home floor.
As a preliminary, the Tech "Fresh
ies" are going to give the Seniors a
lesson on how the cage game should
be played. Last week the Sophs
nosed out the Juniors, 21 to 20. It
should be another close aff&ir.
Last, but not least, on the even
ing's list of entertainments will be
the dancing, with Sourbier's orches
tra furnishlijg the music. The Tech
management is gratified by the large
crowds that have been attending the
first two contests, and to-night the
largest crowd of the season is ex
pected.
Husky Lads Play Basket
Ball on Boyd Floor
The Scout Executive has asked
that no basketball games among
troops interfere with the usual
Scout meetings. "Aerefore on last
Friday evening after 'Troop Thirteen
had held their meeting, the team of
Troop One, of Middletown, played
against the team of Troop Thirteen,
of this city. The troop has played
.against a large number of teams
but the fellows of that troop were
the best that we have so far run tip
against and that is saying no littlp
amount. The playing was fairly
rough on both sides throughout the
entire game but- nary a word of op
position was made and the fellows
rubbed elbows together and the
game was the best played on the
Boyd Gym. floor with troop teams.
The final score was as follows:

You should have seen Lock wood
last Saturday. He was standing by
the side of the road on a big snow
bank an'd suddenly his feet slipped,
and did 'ho slide?. I'll say. There
was a flash and the next thing he
knew he was in the middle of the
road about fifteen feet from where
he started. He and Cunkle went |
with ten fellows and Mr. Fornwald
on Troop Slxteen's hare and hounds
race.
Wo had a great time playing "Pass
the Belt" last week. I believe that's
going to be a popular game. This
week the meeting will be devoted to
l'.Viots and tenderfoot work and, of
course, some games. The cubmaster
, has something to tell us about some
supplies that have been ordered. You
fellows who didn't stay for Captain

Baseball Leagues Break;
Minors Will Go It Alone
By Associated Press
Xew York, Jan. 17.—The major
and minor baseball leagues, parties
to the national agreement, the foun
dation of the professional end of the
national sport, broke relations after
a stormy meeting here last night.
The two great combinations will, in
the future, be bound together by
an elastic agreement which will per.-
mit them to operate with compara
tive independence.
No prediction was made as to what
effect last night's proceedings will
have on the professional game and
the players, but leaders of both
leagues professed to be highly satis
fied with the sensational turn affairs
had taken when temporary arrange
ments were completed shortly be
fore midnight.
Under the tenlative agreement
which was entered .Into last night,
the major and minor leagues are to
respect the contractual, territorial
and reservation rights of each other,
with the proviso that no minor
league club shall claim the right to
more players at any time than the
maximum roster allowed, to clubs in
tlise major leagues. During the play
ing season, this would eqaul twenty
one players.
The draft, optional and reserva
tion agreements of the National
agreement, entered into in 1903, are
things of the past and the only way
in which the major league clubs can
obtain players from the minors wHI
be by direct puroliase.
Garry Herrmann, chairman of the
National Comniissioi\, in announcing
the abrogation of the existing pact,
said:
"The National Association of Pro
fessional Baseball Dengues request
ed changes wihcli we could-not and
would not grant, and when they
stated that they would be the hap
piest men in the world if they were
permitted to go their own way and
attend to their own business ar
rangements in the future, we thought
best to cermit them to do as they
desired."
A new working agreement between
the major leagues and the National
Association pf Minor Leagues is to
be drawn up as soon as possible and
pending the completion of this new
arrangement the National agreement
jvill reamin in force.
The interests of the major leagues
in the framing of this new working
arrangement have been entrusted to
the National Commission and the
minor league organization has ap
pointed a committee of seven to rep
resent it in tile same manner. This
committee was named last night as
follows:
John F. Powers Los Angeles: A.
T. Trlmme, Milwaukee; E. J. Han
lon, Sioux City) Walter Morris, Fort
AVorth, Texas.; Lieutenant Dave L.
Fultz, New York'; M. H. Sexton, Lit
tle Rock, Ark., and Secretary J. 11.
Farrell, Auburn, N. Y.
The National Associatioon will
hold another meeting here to-mor
row at noon, preceded by a short ses
sion at which the committee of seven
will formulate plans for the future
conduct of the affairs of the associa
tion. All of the minor league repre
sentatives declared they were satis
fied with the outcome of the night's
conferences.
After the meeting: John A. Heyd
ler, president of the National league,
announced that he had appointed
President Baker, of the Philadelphia
Club, and Vice-President Veech, of
the Chicago Club, tho National
League Committee of two to aid in
the selection of a new chairman of
the National Commission.
The Baseball Writers' Association
last night elected these officers for
the coming year: President, Irving
K. Sanborn, Chicago; vice-president,
Robert Maxwell, Philadelphia; sec
retary-treasurer Joseph McCready,
Philadelphia. The retiring president,
Joseph Jackson, was elected to the
board of directors.
No radical or immediate change
in the personnel of the National
Commission appears likely us a re
sult of tfie joint meeting of the Na
tional and American Baseball
Leagues yesterday. The sixteen club
owners of the two major leagues
went on record as favoring the re
tention of the three-man commis
sion, buif provision was made for
the selection of a successor to Chair
man Garry Herrmann.
It was decided that the presidenth
of the two organizations should each
select two members of their respec
tive leagues to act as a Joint com
mittee to select some person, out
side of baseball, to act as the third
i man on the commission, providing
I such selected nominee is satisfac-

Tory to the two leagues as a whole.
Progress was reported in the di
rection of closer business and play
ing agreements between the big
league combinations. The 140-gnme
schedule was adopted for both the
National and American Leagues and
the latter announced that its playing
dates would be .published Tuesday.
January 21. A no recall of yaiver
rule was adopted by the American
League, similar to that adopted by
the Nationals Wednesday, and the
rule also was made binding as far
as inter-league waivers were con
cerned. •
The National Commission was in"
structed to prepare a new system for'
distribution of world series money
to the players of the competing
clubs and submit its findings to the
leagues at a later date for approval.
The National League also adopted
a twenty-one-player limit similar to
that in vogue in the American.
There was no change in the sal
ary limitation situation far as the
American League was concerned.
George Sisler, the St. Louis
American club star, signed a 1919
contract with the Browns, but Ty
Cobb did not appear to talk busi
ness fitli Manager Jennings, of the
Detroit team.
The Detroit team's spring training
camp was named as Macin, Ga., and
the, Boston Nationals will prepare
for the pennant race at Columbus,
a series of inter-league
exhibition games, early in April,
probably will feature their training.
