eye, the result OF an accident a few days

chances. for he says that he will enter
the ring in perfect physical trim. Roche
has never met Moir or Palmer. both OF

from his ring record to form any idea
of how he compares with the Canadian
boxer. Roche admits that he does not

TO BAR UNION LEAGUE.
College Men viii Not BE Allowed 10
Play with Outlaw Clubs.

AS "a result OF the organization Of the
Union outlaw baseball league. the George
towE executive committee, at its next
meeting, will probably change the rules
governing the playing of summer baseball
by members of the Blue and Gray team.
When Georgetown took the lead two
years ago, BY declaring that it was bet
ter to allow students to play ball during
the summer for pay than to have the
code violated by allowing professionals
10 masquerade as amateurs. it was nee
essary 10 change the eligibility code II
was decided 10 place a bar on all leagues
under the national agreement as well
as the Tri-State League. which. at that
time, was outside the fold OF organized
ball The organization Of the Union
League, which does not recognize the
authority Of the national commission. is
of the same class as the old Tri-State
League, and, as playing In the new out
law league would be a violation Of the
spirit of the law, the Georgetown board
is expected TO change the rule SO no
student can play with a Union League
club.
Since Georgetown took the initiative.
Wesleyan. Williams. Amherst, and a num-
Der Of other colleges have voted in favor

Special 10 The Washington Herald.
Philadelphia. Pa. March I6.-It was
learned to-day that the champion Penn
sylvania basketball team narrowly es-
capped being without the service Of kid
Keinath in last Saturdays game with
Georgetown. Keinath is considered one OF
the greatest players that ever represented
a college. and he did good work against
Georgetown.
The pick of PENIS athletes are in
trouble with the university athletic com
mittee over unpaid board bills al the ath-
letic association training table. Several
varsity captains and many star athletes
in all sports have been placed under the
ban and refused permission 10 compete
on Pennsylvania teams until the bills are
paid. The varsity football men have not
been given sweaters as yet. ard the ath-
letc association viii hold back the sweat
ers and insignia until the bills are paid.
The athletic authorities al the univer-
sity are bound 10 collect the money Ow-
ing, but the overzealousness of some one
in authority nearly resulted disastrousIy
for PENIS team on Saturday night when
keinath was debarred from playing be-
cause. it was alleged that he owed SO
20 the training table Kenath promptly
paid the money as soon as he learned
OF il, and as Or. Smith. chairman OF the
university athletic committee was in at
tendance at the game, the star forward
was permitted 20 play.
Now keinaths friends are up in arms
against the athletic association. as under
Ire rules it is impossible for Keinath 10
owe for board. Keinath lives with his
parents in this city. and under the regu-
lations student living az home. where
he would not pay board, is exempted
from paying al the training table All Of
the other Philadelphia boys on the foot
ball team last fall were exempted. and
the students are wondering why the ath-
letic association singled out Keinath as
an example. II looks as though some OF
old PENIS solons were overzeaIous in
their efforts Keinath will appeal his
case TO the board OF directors OF the ath-
letic association, as he believes he is be-
ing Disseminated against
The Out-Of-town men who lived al the
training table without paying board must
settle up. however, before they viii be
allowed 10 compete
PENIS training tables have been badly
mismanaged for the past few years and
the university athletic committee has
soundly scored the athletic association.
The table this spring will be run by
