OUAKERS WILL
TAKE UP HOCKEY
PLANS ARE UNDER WAY AT PENN
TO RESTORE GAME.

There will be q new college hockey
team in the field next year if plans
which are being formulated at P4lila-
de1phia,4 go through. Pennsylvania
will be- the newcomer to the ranks A
ruGnor from authentic sources has 1t
that Pennsylvania is about ready to
adopt the Canadian game as a, regular
inter collegiate sport and join the
ranks of the intercollegiate League,
which has not been disbanded, as has
been announced from time to time.
The Quakers, it is said, are to have
a rink, and there Philadelphians hope
to see all the big college sevens in
action next year This will not be
Pennsylvania's first attempt at hoe
key. Some years ago the sport was
quite popular among the Red and
Blue collegians but a fire which des-
troyed their rink, out near Paramount
Park, was the real reason for it's dis
continuance. No attempt was ever
made to restore the rink, SO eventu-
ally the game died. Now there is a
plan to boom it for all 1t is WORTH
which should be good news to PhiIa-
de1phians.
College men in the Quaker city
have wanted a rink for some time
When the old rink was in working or
der the game was in it's infancy, but
now that it has become a popular
sport the enthusiasts are crying for
its restoration.

New York banker, who has a large

JOHNSON, KING
OF PITCHERS
Hal, CHASE CLAIMS WASHINGTON
TwIRLER's SPEED Is GREAT Z
EST GAME HAS EVER
KNOWN.

ssAIthough there have BEEN many
arguments as to wlao is the best p1och-
er in baseball, in my opinion Waiter
king of pitchers, past or present. So
says Hal Chase of the HAghlanders.
stCf course he added, st did not see
but can't imagine how amy pitcher
could have any more, or even as much
speed as Johnson. I have hit against
johnson and most of the great pitch-
ers. and there isn't any who comes
close to him for speed. How they
do rush by that plate! It's an old
see 'eTn, you can't hit en- That is
the case with bafters who face john
son.
s"rhey can talk about Richard De-
Gregg, who are all great pitchers. but
they are not in Johnson's class. His
success as q, pitcher is due to his
great speed. The ball is on top of
the batter before he knows It. If we
could use bats that are bigger there
would be some chance to hit q fast
ball. Thataball has a wonderful hop
on it, It rushes up TO the home de-
pot inviting you to take nice
healthy swing at it. Then it hops. and
you look around at the catcher and
laugh. TITS just as easy for him to
pitch ball game as it IS to sit in
the rocker and smoke e. pipe. It's
wide statement to make, but con-
slider Johnson the best pitcher of all
time, although he has NOT the records
as yet which some of the other hurlers
have.
What has made johnson better than
ever fs the fact that he has mastered
q curve ball, and a. slow ONE. It's
hard to call the turn on him, and If
you do when he is using the fast ball
it makes NO difference. Baseball fans
throughout the United States have
been watching Johnson for a long
time, butt they passed him up when he
did not have q good club to work with
him. Now there Is a good nine in
Washington, and he is going to hang
Ixp a great record.

PENN TO MEET
ON .CRIDIRON

Philadelphia, Feb. -Pennsylvania's
athletic directors met yesterday and
for the first time in several years fail
ed to ratify the football schedule at
the February meeting. Chairman T.
Truton Hare was away from the city,
and it was said at the university that
he is dickering with one Of the big
Four to take the place OF Cornell on
the schedule, and that for this rea-
son the authorities have decided to de-
fer action on the schedule until the
much wanted game is arranged.
While no details We're announced
1t is said by prominent alumni Of the
university that Coach Brooke was as
sured that a. game would be arrang-
ed with either Yale Or Princeton, and
that ne never would have accepted
the post had he not thought that this
was possible. The same Influences
which made it possible for him to be
selected as coach are working to ar
range a game with Princeton.
Many racquet club members with
whom the Penn coach is friendly are
Princeton men, and it is said it is
more than likely that q game Will be
arranged with the Orange and Black.

calls for a half-mi1e run by each re-

The most important question to be
settled at the meeting of the New

was whether the rule providing for

Of the Potomac, G. A. R., is conducting
an inquiry as to so-called raids on the

Mr.. Mckee is endeavoring to see Presi-
dent Wilson In an effort to lay before
him information he has collected, partic-
ularly a charge that demotions transfers
and Determinations are numerous in the
pension Office.
In this connection the Civil Service Re-
form League has issued statement in
which it is said:
The league takes square issue with
President Wilson over his assertion that
deputy collectors of internal revenue and
deputy marshals were not intended to
come under the ordinary provision of the
civil service law. 1t is hoped that the
President will see his way clear to issu-
ing an executive order righting the
wrong done"
