FINE OLD TIMEPIECE
REMARKABLE CLOCK OWNED BY
INDIANAPOLIS MAN.
Was Brought from Pennsylvania to
Indiana In 1921, and Still Keeps
Good Time-Rare Piece
Of Mechanism.

With the name of its maker, dead
these hundred years, written in his
own hand across its face, tall old
corner clock stands in the library of
the home of George B. Yandes, 1872
East Michigan street, Indianapolis
ticking away the time as 1t did in the
days before Indiana was state and
while Indianapolis was yet a little
frontier settlement of a few log cab.
ins.
The clock, which has been in the
family of Mr. Yandes for So years,
and which was hammered and carved
out by the hand of August Hoft, a
clockmaker of Lancaster, Pa, per.
haps quarter Of century before, is
well preserved, and although none
of the wheels or other pieces of mech.
anism has ever been replaced 1t keeps
time almost as accurately as 1t did in
the days when George Washington
was president of the United States.
Brought across the mountains and
plains from Pennsylvania to Indiana
in 1921 by Mr.. Yandes' father, the old
clock has remained in Indianapolis
ever since, witnessing the growth of
| the Hoosier metropolis. II has licked
| off the seconds consumed in erecting
| the monument, the statehouse and
practically all of the public and pri
vate buildings now standing where a
wilderness of forest trees stood in the
days when 1t was perhaps already a
| generation old.
In bringing the clock from Pennsyl.
vania to Indianapolis, Mr.. Yandes'
father carried the works on horse.
back, guarding it as carefully as he
would child. Upon reaching here,
he had case built for It by Caleb
Scudder, the first cabinet.maker that
ever settled in Indianapolis This old
case of cherry still contains the orig.
nal works brought on horseback
across the mountains.
The clock is one of those rare old
pieces of mechanism, wrought entire
~ by hand, which show not only the
hour Of the day, but the day of the
month, the changes of the moon, and
the ebb and 1qF of the tides, on its

The signature of Hoft, together with
his native city, Lancaster, Is written
legibly above the Roman numeral

THE old clock is perhaps the strong
est recollection of my childhood" said
Mr.. Yandes, who is 6S years of age, a
few evenings ago Il well remember
how thought in those days that the
man who used to tinker with 1t tC
keep 1t in good running order was the
most wonderful of men. The sound oi
the old clocks gong in striking is un
like that of any have ever heard, anC
to me 1t has a peculiar suggestiveness
IL has the same sound 1t had in my
boyhsod days, although sometimes

CINCINNATI CLUB GETS CAMPBELL.

National Baseball Commission and the National
Association of Minor Baseball Clubs came to a
crisis to-day when the National Commission an
nounced its decision awarding Campbell the
ni,cher to the Cincinnati National League Club
f,annbejl had been declared blacklisted at the
meeting OF the National Association in New York
last month.
George Tebeau. owner of the Louisville Ameri-
can Association team, claimed that Campbell was
stfIl under contract to him. and that Cincinnati
could not secure valid transfer of the players
services from the Harrisburg club of the Tr-State
League On the other hand. Campbell asserted
that Tebeau had not kept his part of the con-
tract and that he was therefore longer bound
by its terms when he entered the service of the
Harrisburg management. The commission decides
against Tebeau.

ON THE GOLF LINKS.
East Jersey League Nay abandon
championship Team Matches.

There is every likelihood that the East Jersev
Golf League will abandon it's team matches next
season. Ever since the organization of the league
in 1900, these interclub tcontess have represented
its chief activity, and the time was when ahe
matches quite popular. But members of the
various clubs have taken none too kindly living
up a hard and fast schedule and from the start
these contests have been more less of burden
At various times club captains have experienced no
end of difficulty in mastering their teams and
there never has been season when some team or
teams have not been compelled to play shorthanded
and thereby incur the usual penalty of loss Of
three points for each man absent.
In discussing the subject last night G. w
Thomas. president of the league, said that In his
opinion the time had passed when a regular team
schedule could be maintained with any degree of
success. He is in favor of dropping this feature
and letting the league in future devote it's attention
to promoting tournaments.
A. F. c. Mgan, one Of the leading golfers Of
the Suburban Club Of Elizabeth, is also opposed
to team matches He declared recently that un-
less they were abandoned his club would be
compelled to resign He would like to see the
league confne its attention to tournaments.
1t Is fact that since its organization the league
has conducted an annual individual championship
tournament, usually neutral eighteen
hole In addition to this. du ring the last
held, and the latter invariably attracted much
larger fields than the championship But that is
explained by the peculiar eligibility conditions
which have long prevailed
In order to compete for the individual title a
player must have qualified by taking part in at
least three of the team matches. The result has
been that some OF the pest players have been
barred every year and in addition to this the fields
have been ridiculously small 1t seems TO be
the general opinion that all those belonging to
clubs holding membership in the league should
have the right to compete for the individual title
The leagues membership at present consists of
the Glen Ridge Golf Club Suburban Club of
Eliza beth. Forest Hill Field Club. Canoe Brook
Country Club South Orange Field Club and Rose
Vile Golf Club. The latter which held its last
competition on Thanksgiving Day. has been COM
PEELED to disband, as the land is needed for real
estate purposes. Applications for membership as
well as the question of changing the policy the
league will be taken up at the annual meeting
of the organization, which will be held latter
part of January.
The team championship last fall by
the Roseville Golf Club. A. w. Maine, jr., is the
individual champion
