.MARYSVILLE BASEBALL BOOSTERS FAVOR JUNIOR LEAGUE FOR TWILIGHT GAMES
MARYSVILLE BOOSTERS TO
START BASEBALL FRIDAY;
MA Y HA VE JUNIOR LEAGUE
Marysville, Pa.. Dec. 17.—Plans
for the 1920 baseball season will be
outlined in detail at a meeting of
the Marysville Baseball Association
of the Dauphin-Perry League, on
Friday evening. The meeting will
be held in the Municipal Building,
starting promptly at 7 o'clock, ac
cording to notice issued by the presi
cmnt, J. Garfield Eppley.
Business of the past season will
be finally settled at this meeting.
With a new association supplanting
the old league association and with
an entirely new corps of officers in
charge, the present organization
finished in better financial shape
than any previous association. All
bills for the year have been paid in
full and the Seidel Park grounds
have been leased for another year.
Finances in Good Shape
Although the finances of the as
sociation are in better shape than
ever before, the financial question
will receive extensive consideration!
at the Friday evening meeting. Pre-i
liminary plans have already been!
made for equipping the team with
new uniforms. Funds arc on hand.
to meet tlte greater part of the ex-1
pense, however. i
At this meeting, too, a corps of i
officers to serve throughout the 1929
years will be named, he office of i
business manager, the most import-!
ant in the association, is now re-1
reiving attention. Paul L. Ellen- ■
berger filled the. position acceptably
last year and there is a strong sentl-1
ment for re-election.
The business of the association will j
bear largely on the team and its'
connection with the Dauphin-Perry j
League, the proposition of conduct

EOR COLLEGIATE HONORS
IN BASKETBALL CONTESTS
New York, Dec. 17.—The Inter-l
collegiate Basket Ball League sea
son of 1919-20 is expected to show
keen competition. Penh, Cornell, j
Columbia and Yale have won tho :
Hoppe Championship Trophy Cup i
for two years, and if any one of j
these four colleges should win again j
it would obtain permanent posses
sion of the cup. At the same time, ]
Princeton has one leg on this ]
trophy, and so can tie both for the ,
lirst place with the other colleges
and at the same time keep them :
from winning the eup by taking the ,
1919-20 championship.
Considering the prospects of the j
league on the basis of the men who I
played on last year's teams that |
have returned, a number of colleges i
have old players to build on. Yale ,
and Penn both have three regulars i
back; Princeton has two veterans i
and three substitutes who played j
enough to win their letters; Cornell !
has had to build Its team around j
one man; Columbia lias a number of
former regulars, while Dartmouth I
did not have a team last year on
eccount of war conditions.
Penn and Yale Strong
Although the number of old play
ers around which a team Is built
Is no sure indication of the strength j
cf the team, at present Penn and ]
Yale seem the foremost contenders ,
for the title, with Princeton run- j
ning them a very close race. Yale j
has Van Slyeke, one of the all-in- !
tercollegiate forwards of last year, 1
and Hamil and Alderman, two very I

Plan For Popular Sport
New York. Dec. 17.—The gen- i

adopt-the zone plan for the sport]
in the United States, dividing the i
country into five sections, eastern, I
southern. Middle West, Rocky ntoun- ]

was formed last month, when the
amateur associations were admitted
into the national body.
In addition to handicap tourna
ments in each zone, state cham

be held.
An amateur committee to provide
for representation at the Olympic
games was appointed consisting of j
J. Clark. Jr.. and U. H. Spotts, j
New York, and E. P. Mathewson. |

WEDNESDAY EVENING.
i ing: a junior or second team will ro-
I celve attention of officials and mem
j hers of the association.
Plan Junior 1-oagiie
I With more material, young and
j old, available than ever before, tho
[ question of a second team as a feed
er for the league team, has become
|of importance. Several week 3 ago
a proposition was advanced for the
| formation of a strong junior league
in and about Harrlsburg.
Marysville has been offered a
i berth in th's organization and ul
' ready strong sentiment has teen
I expressed in favor of the acceptance
'of the offer. This matter will lie
j discussed in detail on Friday night.
! Preliminary plans too, provide for
i the purchase of new uniforms for
j this aggregation, which it is believed
would aid in the development of
material for the league team.
The junior league, according to
plans received by persons interested
here, would play one or two twilight
games each week. The Dauphin-
Perry League grounds, it is believed
will be available for all of these j
games. i
The adoption of the plan of con
ducting the junior team will l.i .rk j
a step in the development o" the
scope of the association winch i*
now 1 • ing considered. It has been i
suggested that the association next '
year should put a football team in j
the field, and with the possibility
borough, that a basketball team
should lie placed in the cage during
the 1920-21 season. These latter
probabilities, however, ate not ex
pected to receive any considerable
attention at Fr.day evening's meet
ing.
I reliable players, around whom to
j build a team, and this will un
doubtedly give tho Blue a very
j strong combination. The three Penn
; men have been playing together for
] three years, and with these men to
j count upon Penn will have a five
j that will prove a dangerous oppon-
I ent. The veteran players of the
j lied and Blue are Sweeney, who has
] led the league consistently in scor
ing and was all-intercollegiate
forward; Peck and McNicol.
Margetts and Opie are the two
] regulars who played last year for
j Princeton, and Davis, Wood and
• Zaliriskie also won their letters. The
I 1919 five was handicapped by the
| loss of Trimble and by the ineligi
] bllity of a number of the best men,
i so that this y ear's team lines up
i with a number of new men. Cap
i tain Hynson, who played on the
] Nassau team last year, is looked at
!as a comer at forward. He will
] Hnd a close rival in Netts, who has
played on a number of service
I teams. Dickinson, also a member of
the Nassau team, will no doubt land
at centre, and Margetts and Opie
have already proved their ability as
guards.
In Molinet Cornell has the only
| real star. The rest of the material
]is green. Columbia, which trailed
i the league last year, has a number
]of old players back. Dartmouth
j is more or less of a dark horse, for
; it had no team last year, so no ae
j curate estimate of its strength can
I be made.
TO USE GYMS
FOR SCHOOL WORK
Plan For Development of Ath
lctes in West Shore Towns
—Sports Popular
Feeling that boys attending school
on the West Shore are in need of J
some encouragement through ath
letic lines, Professor Clyde Hoover,
supervising principal of schools In
the 'cross river district, to-day said
he would be glad to see some uc
: tion taken by boards for the en
] courage ment of athletics in the va- j
rious schools.
I Camp Hill and Enola schools are
i the only two districts having gym-
I nasiums. Camp Hill High has had
I teams for several years and that it
j is beneficial is shown by the large .
j number of boys attending this |
school, the principal pointed out.
J Enola High, although at the pres
: ent time having a basketball team,
• is not equipped to play a schedule
j of games, not having the iloor in
: shape for cage games. Volleyball is
j being played by Enola teams and
i the auditorium at that school will be
j used for basketball purposes as
j soon us it is equipped.
The school board has ordered
] equipment for the auditorium
i which will place it in a class with
] gymnasiums in Harrisburg schools.
| According to Professor Hoover ns
: soon us the floor is equipped a team
] will be selected to represent the •
] school.
Professor Hoover said that I.e- ;
j moyne and Wdst Fairview High i
' schools have some fine material for |
I teams and if some arrangements j
| could be made in these towns for ]
| floors some keen competition be- '
i tween the schools on the West I
] Shore would be seen. Professor !
] Hoover was asked whether he I
I thought some arrangement could be '
' made to have Lemoyne hoys prac- ,
I tiee on the Cainp Hill floor and the [
: West Falrview material on the !
Enola floor by taking the matter up |
j with the various boards. The prin- j
I eipal said that would be a very good 1
: plan and believes something could i
!be done along those lines. He de- j
] clared that efforts would be made i
to encourage baseball in the spring •
j in all the schools.

Comiskey Predicts Short
Life Unless Johnson Quits
Chicago, Dec. 17.—Charles Co-'
I miakey, owner of the local American
| League baseball club, has expressed
' the belief that unless there was a
] change in the presidency of the
! American League baseball club, has
expressed the belief that unless •
there was a change In the presidency
of the American League and of the
; chairmanship of the National Com
! mission the. league might not be in
( existence beyond next July 4.
i "Conditions in the American!
j League are awful, terrible," was tho 1
way he put it. He insisted his fue- •
tloji had done everything possible
at the New York meeting to settle
the controversy amicably, but that
Ban Johnson and his supporters re
] fused absolutely to come to an un- ,
j deratundtng."

PICK FOSTER TO
i RUN COMMISSION
Looks Like Some Big Changes
in Official Baseball
Lineup
New York, Dec. 17.—Joseph D.
! O'Brien, the new secretary of the
Giants, started his duties with the
i club yesterday. Mr. O'Brien will be
gin in a few days to prepare the
players' contracts so they can be
sent out after the first of the year,
i He will also put the finishing touches
on the plans for the Giants' Spring
training trip to San Antonio ana
the exhibition tour with the Boston
! Red Sox which will end with two
1 games at the Polo Grounds on Sat
' urday and Sunday, April 10 and 11.
The championship season will open
here on Wednesday, April 14, with
i the Giants having the honor this
1 year. The Yankees will open away
i from home.
i The name of John B. Foster has)
been added to the list of candidates i
for the Chairmanship of the Na- j
tional Commission, and he and John (
IH. Farrell are the only practical !
; baseball men whose names have
i been mentioned. Mr. Foster's long i
I experience in major league base- j
! ball matters stamps him as a likely j
candidate for the joint committee to ,
consider when the time comes,
i It is likely that if a general house j
j cleaning takes place in the National j
Commission, it will not only havej
i a new Chairman but also a new Sec- ;
I retarv. John E. Bruce has served I
as Secretary with Hermann since!
the body was organized in 1903. Mr.
Bruce has a large legal business, and
; it is probable that he will step down j
' with Herrmann. I
With both the chairmanship and \
Secretaryship open, the possibility
of Mr. Foster landing a place on !
; the commission is bright. Tt is ex- j
j pected that within the near future
i President Ban Johnson will name
s a new member of the American
League Committee to act with the;
National League Committee. Quick !
1 action will have come in the ap-:
pointment of a new Chairman be
cause it is almost certain that Herr- |
mann will not be a candidate for re- i
election when the commission meets :
; in Cincinnati on the first Monday in
! January.
