DOOM Signs
for TzUO More
YedrS--PedC

Horace Fogel, president of the Phil
lies. and Charlie Doom got to-
gether over the long-distance
route during the week and Doom ac-
cepted terms to manage the Phillies.
Yesterday DOOR went to Philadelphia
from Altoona, where he was singing
last week, and hid a long powwow
with Fogel.
Before DOOR started for Columbus in
the evening he had signed a two-year
contract as manager, which makes his
term as manager expire the same time
with his contract as a player. Last
year Doom signed a three years con-
tract as a player. No announcement
was made as TO salary. but there was
no trouble in coming TO terms. SO il
is supposed hat the money eonsidera-
ton was a bunch over last years fig
ures.

Ydle-C Cornell
Indoor Meet
for New YOrF

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. S.-Yale
and Cornell are working over a propo-
sition for a dual indoor rack meet, to
be held some time in March. The Sc
lection of a place for the holding of
the meet is the question that is before
the two, although it now seems likely
that If the meet is arranged it will be
held in n of the armories in New
York.
1t will be the first time that Cornell
and Yale have ever met on the track
In a dual meet, and the contest will
do much to cement the resumption of
relations between the two, which was
begun recently when an annual series
of baseball games was arranged.

JACK HANILY
SIGNS WITH
MOBILE CLUB
Mike Finn Lands Bloom
fields Crack Left
Handler.

Jack Banily, the phenomenal south
paw, who pitched the Bloomfield
r. E. G. to victories over their worst
rivals last summer and was the idol
Of the Bloomfield fans, has signed a
contract to pitch for Mobile in the
Southern League next year. Hanily at
present is a student in Manhattan Col
lege, in his junior year.
Jack has peer called the most re-
markable player in semi-pro circles last
year, and he had scalped every team
that crossed his path, pitching shut
out ball most OF the time and averag-
ing from ten to twelve ~strike-outs a
game. He has a wonderful drop ball
that breaks tantalizingly over the out
side corner of the plate and is a terror
to all opposing k-wielders. His
work has been wonderfully uniform
and consistent and his control perfect.
His s%outhpaw slants for the last two
wears. during whic.l time he served the
pill for the Bloomfelders, AVE made
him the most dreaded pitcher in this
vicinity, and there is not a Bloomfield
fan who doubts that he will make good
in professional baseball.
Joe Flannery. the crack third-sacker
of the Bloomfield team, win play third
for Mobile, so the Bloomfield team will
he pretty well represented on Manager
Mike Firms Mobile Gulls.
tIsnily's home is in Providence, r.
l.. where ne gained a reputation in
scholastic circles as a clever portsider.
He has pitched great ball for Manhat-
tan College and had several offers to
break in with minor league clubs. Jer-
sey City was anxious to obtain his
signature last year. but he turned down
all offers, as he wished to pitch an
other year for his college. His con-
tract does not call for active service
at Mobile until the middle of June, and
will not prevent him from pitching for
his alma mater this spring.
Hanily is a remarkable fielder for a
~left-hander, and has an unusual knack
of nipping men off first base, a trick
which he turns frequently. He is q
good batter for a pitcher, n gets on
almost as regularly as the other mem
bers of his team. He is of medium
height and ambitious. Finn nailed a
good man in the Bloomfield phenom.

HARRY DAVIS
NOT MUCH AS A
FOOTBALL A 7

Although Harry Davis, mana
ger of the Maps, was once n col
lege student, he failed to take as
much interest in football az
would be expected from n of
his physical attainments. But
he played the game. at that-just
once. And just once was enough
for him. In his younger days
Harry attended Girard College.
He was big and strong and de
cided TO become a gridiron hero.
They made him a guard on the
first team. In his initial contest,
which was also his last, four
huskies sat on him while two
others gave his leg a twist. Re-
suit was that Harry had a bad
knee and could not walk for d
week. Then he foreswore the
game and decided to secure his
fame or the diamond instead.

There are those who would protract

they threw down the gauge to the Turk.
One war was to drive the Turk from

Is the Game Worth the Candle?

No doubt there is a great deal of
practical wisdom in what Admiral
Dewey, who is >cventy-fve years
young, has to tell regarding the best
means how to attain longevity. But in
this age of hygiene a septuagenarian
cannot really be considered an "old
man. Quite apropos of the Admiral's
recipe, but taking an altogether differ
ent view. is Sir George Birdwood. who.
at eighty-four. writes to the London
Times, protesting against the exagger-
ated precautions of those whose am
bition it is to round out century of
life. Sir George empties the walls of
his contumely upon those whose only
drink is hot water, whose diet is some
lnnocuous milk pudding. and who live
IN nervous apprehension of attacks

our habitual valetudinarianism becomes

This philosopher is one of those who

in a comparatively brief lifetime, than
protract existence into desolate old
age There is nothing much in grow
ing old for the mere sake of the fame
that comes to the nonagenarian or the
oentenarian. Old age, for its own
sake, does not seem worth the sacrifice
of all the results of red blooded,
vital impulses. None of the numerous
recipes offered is infallible; "one mans
meat is another's poison In fact, the
various rules of living to assure
