OUTLOOK BAD FOR CAMDEN
Faculty Restrictions Impair Football
Prospects at Jersey High School.

Football prospects for this season are
anything but encouraging to the student
body at Camden High School, for besides
the handicap of light, green material,
the Faculty Committee has placed cer-
tain restrictions on the gridiron cand-
dates that are bound to affect the spirit
and enthusiasm of the players and root
ers alike.
The most menacing law recently laid
down by the faculty forbids all students
to take part in football who have not
obtained written permission from their
parents or guardian. This will cause
promising Brickleys to give up all idea
of going out for the team, as few parents
will be willing to assume the entire re-
sponSbility.
strict eligibility rules and the ncccs-
sity OF u phsician's affidavit in re-
gard to the health of the student VIII
also be prime factors in narrowing down
the squad to a mere handful. These diff
ticulties might in time be overcome but
for the fact that the majority of tho
players who have managed to pass
through this third degree" laid down
by the faculty do not come up to the
usual standard of Camden High elcvens.

GREAT GOLF WEEK
USHERED In WITH
WHITEMARSH TEST
Climax of the Fall Sea-
son to Be Witnessed Now,
and Stick Wielders Are in
Their Glory.

Golfng events have been coming thick
and fast recently, but this week will wit
ness the climax of the fall season. To-
morrow there will be an event of special
interest at the. Whitemursh Valley
Country Club which will be in the nature
of a curtain raiser TO the annual open
tournament of the Golf Association OF
Philadelphia.
with its usual generosity the Whites
marsh Valley Country Club has put UP
SloO for an amateur-protessonal tourna-
ment. 1t will be n best ball match with
an amateur and professional on each
side. All amateurs and professionals of
clubs belonging to the United states Golf
Association are eligible TO compete. This
event is quite a novel one and II should
prove decidedly interesting and, what is
more. 1t will serve as excellent practice
for those competing in the championship
the next day.
In former years the open championship
of Philadelphia was only at thirty-six
holes, but this year the Golf Association
very wisely decided to extend it to sew
enty-two. Thirty-siN holes, therefore. will
he played on Wednesday and the remain
ing thlrty-six on Thursday. Very liberal
prizes have been put up by the associa-
ton. The winner will receive $780, second,
$780, third, $40: fourth, $40; fifth, $50, and
sixth, slO-sfOO in prize money In all. One
thing Is certain. and that is that the
tournament will be more literally patron
lied than in past years Many of the pro-
tessionals who competed at Spring Lake
will be here, including Walter Hagen, the
open champion; James NJ. Barnes, the
Western champion; Isaac Mackie, the
winner of the Shawnee tournament: Joe
Mitchell. runner-up at Shawnee; Elmer
Loving. of Spring Lake; Fred Mcleod,
OF Washington; Tom Mcnamara. of Bos-
ton: Herbert Strong, of 1nwood; Louis

While Chance Resigned, He
Really Was Forced Out
by Owners Refusal to
Make Him Supreme.
Long Term of Years Is
Necessary to Build Up
Club Which Can Com
pete for Highest Honors.

The story of Frank Chances resigna-
tion from the New York American League
club is one as ancient as the national
game itself. It has ever been the policy
of the majority of club owners to adopt
q shifting method of developing n team,
rather than one Of watchruI waiting,
which has been so highly successful tn
the case of the Athletics of this city
and the Giants of New York
Frank Chance did not resign because
he had not developed a club with could
compete with the better organizations OF
ban JohnSon's circuit, but because he
was not allowed to develop it. This
friction between the owners aud the man
ayers is the thorn In the side OF base
ball, and at times has actually been a
menace TO its very existence.
To build up winning bail club, Connie
Mack saws. requires at least five years.
Chance has been in New York q little
less than two seasons, II is true that
lie does not seem to have made any more
progress this year than he had at the
CLOSE of the season of 1918. Yet this
would probably be the case even If he had
the nucleus of winning club around
which to build. In this case tn" team
might go along more or less indlrerently
for a couple OF years tncu suddenly
jump into the running without warning,
Just as the st. Louis Browns did at the
beginning OF this season. The trans
Mississippians were enabled TO mako
nght because that team, for the most
part, had been playing together long be-
fore Branch Hickey was even considered
as a managerial possibility.
Now that Chance has decided that he
cannot move along in harmony with the
owners OF the Yankees, the fans Of New
York Will have the dissatisfaction of
seeing one OF the games greatest gen.
erals discarded merely because the moguls
have not learned the lesson that a man
ager must be supreme in his department.
and that to be successful he must hold
the reins in his own hands and not be
driven with a halter around his own
T:
From several quarters there seems 10
he a runlor afloat that, after all, Chance
will remain in New York, at least for the
rest of the season That. however, has
little bearing on the question. Chance
has been hampered and he will continue
to be hampered as long as the moGuls
OF the Highlandsrs believe that they know
more about running the details Of a ball
club than one who mas captured three
pennants.

HERMANN PLEASED
WITH CHARLEY HERZ0G
will Give Manager Chance to Lead
Reds in 1915.

Will Give Manager Chance to Lead
Reds in 1915.
Garry Hermann seems at last TO have
begun to realize that when manager
makes good that is the time to give him
moro powers and more encouragement,
rather than his release as in the case of
Hank o'Day. No one could have made
more out Of the Cincinnati Reds than
o'Day during tho comparatively short
time he was IN Redland, yet he was sum-
marily dismissed.
This season Charley Hcrzog, the most
efficient iuiclder on the New York Giants
club in 1918 has done wonders with the
Reds. He has almost made real ball
club out Of practically nothing And his
reward will be another chance in 1915.
Speaking of his manager, Hermann
recently said:
IT'S sure thing Herzog will be our
manager next season.
I'VE are satisfied with the goE5s he
has shown as a leader, although we aSe
not satisfied with the position in which
the team is now located.
"Hcrzog in my opinion is a real man
ager. He will be in charge again next
season and things will happen during the
winter that will give him good material
to work with We arc satisfied that if
he has the players he will build a win.

time. and although II is by no means easy
some fine scores should be made.
One of the most popular tournaments
Of the local season will be played on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the
Philadelphia Cricket Club, st. Martin $.
The invitation tournament of the Phila-
delphIa Cricket Club for the st. Martin $
cup invariably draws record entry and
there Is no reason to suppose that TINS
years event will be an exception to the
rule.
In addition to the st. Martins cup, the
Presidents. Governors and Players cups
will be competed for and In each event
there will be q prize for the runner-up.
An event of great importance Will be
staged at the Merton Cricket Club,
Haverford, tomorrow, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, when
the annual competitions for the inter
collegiate tennis championship will be
played. Last year Princeton sprans q
big surprise by winning the Isaac Fl.
Clothier cup outright, but this year Har-
ward should experience no difficulty In
winning the new trophy for the first
time. Represented by II. Norris VIII
liams, I'd, the national singles champion,
II Is difficult to imagine either Yale,
Princeton, the University of Pennsyl-
vania or any other university or college
standing a ghost of n chance against
Harvard Williams Is a Philadelphlan
and this fact alone is sure to attract
a big attendance at the Merton Cricket
Club each day. Play will take place
in both morning and afternoon.
