POLO CLUB BEATS
BALTIMORE FIVE
Fast and Exciting Game at the
Arcade Won by Locals by
4 to 2 Score. y

The Washington roller polo team de-
feated the Baltimore quint last night
at the Arcade in the fourth game Of
the intercity series before good sized
crowd. to 2.
Playing a whirlwInd game the locals
swept the visitors OF their feet in the
second half and by some neat passing
managed TO cage the ball three times
in the last fifteen minutes Of play. The
first half ended with each team hav-
ing scored a goal.
Young Eddie Whiting was the star OF
the contest. Skating around the rink,
dribbling the ball in front OF him, Eddie
made all four of the Washington goals
possible, twice shooting the ball to
Pop Whiting, who scored the point
His offensive work was good, but his
covering up and springing OF the de-
Tense was even better. Willie Whiting,
in center, also put up a good game,
while Page easily outplayed Frazier, the
Baltimore half back.
Game Is Fast.
The game. as played last night, was
fast from the start. and not a dull mo-
ment was allowed the spectators. Roller
polo is much faster than basket-b ball
and will prove to be a big drawing card
as soon as 1t is well known in this sec

GETS BALL CLUB FOR DOLLAR.
james A. Let's Is Now In Control of
Affairs at Trenton, n. J.

Trenton. Dec. Cot develops that the
Trenton Tri-State League baseball fran
chise was sold to James H Let's two
weeks ago for the sum of 81. Mr.. Let's
who was last season president of the
club. also purchased the uniforms worn
by the players last season for the sum OF
% cents. The gfandstand was also pur-
chased by Mr.. Let's for 81. as were the
fence and bleacheTs. The only property
OF the club which brought anything like
fair sum were the chairs in the grand
stand, which were bought by Mr.. Let's
for Sl95.
The sale was made by Charles Ginder
who was appointed receiver for the club
when the officers filed a voluntary pc
tition in bankruptcy a month ago. 1t is
said that some OF the creditors propose
appealing to the Chancery Court to have
the sale set aside.

The Business High School basketball
team defeated the Eastern High five yes
terday at the Y. NJ e. A. gymnasium
in the third game of the Inter-Scholastic
League schedule in the best game OF the
season, the final score being A to Is,
not showing the class OF the game.
Business put five fast, aggressive men
OH the floor, and their teamwork was a
revelation to the lads from Capitol Hill,
who, although fighting gamely to the
end, were outcIassed. Shum, who went
in the game in the last few minutes OF
play, was easily the star for Eastern. al
though Lawson made one basket by q
back hand toss. Several good basket
ball players at Eastern were OH the side
lines, including Hawley Smith and Paul
Cohill. and with these men in the game
the result might have been different.
The StenOgraphers played one of the
best games of the year in the Association
Gymnasium. Donohue and HlnwOod. the
Business forwards. caging no less than
sixteen baskets. while Wilson managed
to shoot two goals and Boernstein one.

active part, unless Russell Ford
decides to quit pitching and hold
down second base, as was the case
during one game on the local
grounds last summer.
No matter from which angle one views
the situation. it seems almost probable
that Chance and Chase will become en-
tangled in one or more scraps before
the season is far advanced.
The experience Chance gained with the
Chicago Cubs keeping peace in the family
with Tinker and Evers, always at each
others threats. probably will stand him
in good stead, and as diplomacy is
Franks middle name, there is every rea-
son TO believe that the Peerless Leader
will be able to handle Mr. Chase.
The New York Highlanders are due
for a good season next year unless the
injury ink again crops out. Birdie Cree
and Harry Wolter. heavy hitting out
fielders, will be on the job from the
start. Russell Ford had a horrible year
and is bound to come back next season
with a new lease of life, while 1t is
claimed that a number of youngsters OBJ
tanned in the draft have a fair chance
Of sticking.

Larry Has Best Average.

Ty Cobb was asked the other day by
an enthusiast whether he thought he
would gather an average batting mark
like that of Hans Wagner or Larry
Lajoie and Tyrus said he hoped so, but
was doubtful.
The Dixie whirlwind has been in the
major league for eight years. All these
seasons have been spent with Detroit.
Larry LajOie has a major league career
that covers just twice as much time as
Tvs. Cobb must play in high baseball
society for eight more years to equal the
Frenchmans length of service and Larry
is not through by any means.
For sixteen years Larrys average is
.565.
For eight years Tvs average is .361.

Boy Gets Square Deal.

Humiliated before the whole school Ia st
Tuesday when the authorities at the Nc
kinley Manual Training Institution re-
fused 10 award football letters to Right
End coleman and Capt. Eckendorf be-
cause these boys played against the Wig
ilants last Sunday and it was suspected
that they had been paid money for their
services, Principal Frank Z. Daniels yes
terday morning made restitution in the
proper manner by calling the boys to the
platform during the general assembly
and presenting them with the coveted
insignia.
Principal Daniels investigated the
claims of professionalism lodged against
coleman and Eckendorf and found that
the charges were without foundation.
In one way Mr.. Daniels was perfectly
right Tech does not want to encourage
professionalism or harbor professionals
and the investigation was proper. but the
boys should have been proven guilty or
innocent before the letter honOrs were
distributed and not been subject 10 the
humiliating ordeal of being refused the
insignia while the charges were probed.

most faithful, loyal and intelligent sons
The community polite, manly and no

of hope, love and youth were about to
be fulfilled. The home, darkened by

the mother, the loving companion of
the sister and brothers.

away of Andrew we bow in dazed grief
questioning not the wisdom of the

things WELL" We extend to the be-
reaved father and mother sister and

Deserved Compliment.

tice of one of our local pastors:-
"Rev c. Connor Brown is moving
i things in his field. The work of the
Lancaster Church, of which he is a
pastor is marvel in the spirit of ben
efience and devotion to the Master
cause. Mr. Brown has watchful eye
for every opportunity of doing good,
and this, coupled with an untiring ener-
gy does things. About three month
ago he took up the work at Harmony
Church in connection with his Lancas
ter work, going there once a month.
Two month ago he organized a Sab
bath school at Linden Dale schoolhouse

They now have an enrolment of III

five. He also has fine Sabbath school
at Antioch schoolhouse, three and one
half miles from Lancaster.
This school has an enrolment of nine
ty and an average attendance of fifty.
The superintendent is a woman who is
consecrated to her work. Mr.. Brown
has recently closed a very successful
meeting at Harmony. He had open-air

ten days. Thirty-five made profession
of faith and there were fifteen access
