a Few Days

NEW YORK. Dec. 2S.-Artlcles Of
Incorporation of "a baseball league.

plant i'm each city belong to the club,
according to tie plan of the American
and National Leagues.
Promoters of the proposed COM
pany are in possession Of the winter
addresses Of practically every base
ball player in the United States, and
these men will be invited to join the
new clubs.
The circuit will include the cities OF

CANCELS
THE HIGH GAME

The High School basketball team
had a hard practice game with the
scrubs yesterday. Mccall was given
chance at defence and from yester-
days showing it can plainly be seen
that the little boy will give Matthews
a stiff rub for berth before the sea-
son is over. Jack Daley was another
recruit on the Varsity and with a
little more experience the little ROok-
wood star will make a good under
study for Jones and Coke at the for
ward positions.
The locals were to play their sec
ond out of town game on Friday
evening with the Cecil County High
School of Elkton. but last evening
Manager Coke received word that the
game would have to be postponed Oh
account of sickness. The cancelling
of this game leaves the locals without
a game for this week.

CARPENTER JOB
HOLDS FIVE YEARS

There will be no contest for the
presidency OF the Tri-state League this
winter. despite the reports to the con-
trary. Charles f. Carpenter, the in
cumbent of all the offices, was elected
for a five-year term at the annual
meeting a year ago. which fact seems
to have been overlooked by those am
bitious ones who would like to sue
ceed him.
Previously the presidency was cleo
ted every year. There were always
candidates, hustling and receptive.
They would get their friends to inter
view or write the club owners. The
magnates got tired of these importuni-
ties and established the five-year term.
This, and the fact that the longer term
gives the league more stability, inn
PEELED the change.
President Carpenter has not yet fix
ed the date for the annual meeting, but
il will likely be during the first week
of January

That Carl Morris. the Oklahoma

pressed today by fight fans who saw
him hammer Tom Kennedy. former
amateur champion, into a pulp last
night at the Empire A. c.. New York.
Morris showing was a great surprise
to those who saw Fireman Jim Flynn
pound him up. He showed consider
able more cleverness and steam. and
went after Kennedy from the start.
With moro training such as last

every round hammering him all over

NEED FIRST

Big League Clubs SCrambline
for Hard HitterS for
Initial Cushions
FIND LEFT-HANDERS
TO Be THE BEST

The big battle just now between
the various big leagues over the
acquisition Of promising first basa
material brings up the subject, is the
game progressing as far as the play
in that portion OF the diamond is con-
cerned? II looks as If a pennant
winning organization has got TO have
a hard-hitting first baseman in It's
line. a slugger of the cleanup kind
in order to attain It's end.
Great first basemen have shone
from the first time the pastime at
tanned National prominence Among
the old-timers the greatest sluggers
were Pop Anson. Dan Brothers and
Dave Orr. These men were OF cham
pionship material throughout their
careers, as far as their hitting was
concerned. but in their time they were
not called upon TO play perfect field
ing game. lt was Pat Tebeau and
fCharles A. Comiskey who advanced
the science of playing first more than
any other two men in the business.
Tebeau and Comiskey introduced all
the real fielding tricks, and II was not

According to the records, Frauk
Chance is one of the greatest hitting
and fielding first basemen In the
game today. For II years he played
the position and never did he fall be-
low the 800 mark In his hitting.
! Report has It that Chance will get
I into the game next season when the
Cubs start their battle for the Ma
tional League pennant. This hardly
seems possible. Chance has suffered
from the many bean balls he has
run up against, and Il is doubtful
whether he can get back into the form
that he showed before his injuries. So
il Is that the Chicago team Is on a
long search for the necessary ma
terial to develop a player OF the
Chance caliber.

ones, but he could not repeat when
