TROYS NO MATCH
FOR HARRISON FIVE
West Hudson Basketball Play
ers Win First Game of Home
and Home Series.
GOWN IS BIG FACTOR

The Harrison Big Five captured
the first of home-and-h series
of six eomes from the Troys Of
Union Hill, 81 to 10, at Hantmanns
hall, Harrison, last night. At half
time the home team was in the lead
by is to ID. 1t was in the final SEES
sion, however, that the Harrison
players displayed skill in both pass
ing and goal caging.
The playing of Gown, the West
Hudson forward, was easily the fea
ture. He had five field baskets to
his credit, together with a pair Of
free throws. Marty Kavanagh made
his debut with the home quintet
and despite the fact that 1t was his
first game of the season, he showed
up we'll in team work. Marty also
roped in two field baskets from diff
ficult angles. Johnny Beckman, one
of the fastest players in the East,
did the best work for the visitors.
.Beckman was all around the court,
and had his teammates aided him In
his efforts the tally might have been
q closer one.

The fact is. both sides are cheating
OF the two, though, the regulars" arr
the more anxious to get together
They are willing to sell a few bal
clubs to the OUTLAW magnates and
do any little thing to bust up the
opposition league. The Feds are
sticking out for a square DEAF fol-
all concerned, whereas the regulars
believed they could buy off few OF
the big men and let the others go to
the coal mines. This has been the
custom of the big moguls of baseball.
They have practioed it SO thoroughly
and so successfully on the poor little
minors that it is difficult for them to
comprehend the attitude of men with
red blood in their veins and solid
backbone. The Feds, If nothing else,
appear to be game. The regulars"
without half trying, might be called
cutters.
@
The majors have whipped the
minors again-whipped them into line.
The meeting at Omaha was expected
to develop into a regular minor
league landslide, but, instead, a few
of the majors went to the seat of
battle and told the little fellows what
to do. They behaved beautifully,
did those minors; but our own noble
president, Edward G. Barrow, will
come home and tell us, no doubt, that
everything is as 1t should be. The
minors are all wrong. They allow
the majors entirely too many privi-
leges. They had the upper hand, and
should have demanded some conces-,
sions at Omaha; but they backed up
against the wall and allowed the big
fellows to run their meeting. They
asked for nothing; they received
they just went through the
regular order of business; they didn't
even ask for representation on the
National Commission, a privilege to
which, in all fairness, they should be

Mr.. Barrow, oar president, en-
lightened us somewhat on the stu
alton. He tells us that Peace eff ,
forts on the part OF organized baseball |
arc all because of the International
League, not because the big leagues
are hit badly" We are glad to hear
that from President Barrow, for if
he International is the biggest suf-
'erer, why it is only fair to presume
hat the International will be the
most considered when peace ar
are being made. But
hat isn't so. 1t is all big game of
politics, with Ban Johnson leading
he minor leaguers around by the
rose. Mr.. Barrow is right when he
ays the International League is the
biggest sufferer because of the war,
md he ought to see to it that the
men who stood by it and lost money
ire not given the worst of it when
peace arrangements are made. In
stead, though, 1t looks as II he Is
aking the part of the majors, with
riend Ban Johnson showing him the
way.

From letter received by Floyd

today, It is apparent that Mac has
overlooked a champion for the coming
grind. The ambitious youth who has
suddenly discovered that he has been
hiding his light under bushel for a
number of years Is Fred Fay, of
Meadville, Pa. Fred runs a fish and
meat market in the lively Pennsyl-
vania city, but has always found time
to train, as his letter will show. He
also admits that he met George Wiley

teams and its we'll balanced field,
should prove a most interesting
4 grind. Discussion as to the winners,
while hot and all that, is much in
favor of the Gou1let- Grenda team.
! This pair certainly looks to be the
most formidable, especially as Goul-
] let is in such great condition and Is
showing such wonderful speed. Up
/ in the Boston six-day race Goullet
/ was a "beaF-eat." No one could touch
| him, and he said last night he was
! feeling fine and felt sure he and
( Crenda would win. In any event,
Goullet is the favorite. His price Is
8 to l. but If 1t was a sure thing
that a sufficient number of teams
would be tied at the finish for the
Berlin system to be employed, the
odds would probably be 4 to 1. 1t
may be that one team will steal a
lap, and it may be that two teams
will steal a lap, in which case the
Berlin system will not be used, for
if three or more teams are tied, these
men will be asked to race the last
hour, sprinting every mile and a
half for points, to count three to the
winner, two TO second and one TO
third. This system win make the
race all the more interesting, and
will give the outside teams a chance
with the teams that are provided
with a star sprinter.
O.
Goullet and Grenda are easily the
favorites for the big race, but there
is lots of argument as to which team
should be second choice in the grind.
This honor is given to Joe Fogler and
Fred HRl and their price is quoted
at 4 to l. Jimmy Moran and Reggie
Mcnamara are third choices at to /
and verri and Egg, the foreign team,

they are not given much considera- |
ton in this race. 1t is believed they |
will not last the limit. Root is riding |
very well, but Clark Is said to find it |
difficult TO get into condition. Some
good judges say Jackie will quit be- |
fore Thursday Clark and Root are
not given much of a choice in the bet
ting, being quoted at ~ to /. The fol-
lowing prices are given as showing
