George Connors Gets
Job as Penn Trainer

PHILADELPHIA. April 9.-George S.
Connors, who tor thirteen years has
been the trainer of all the athletic
teams of Exeter Academy, will be en-
gagged as the trainer OF the football
eleven of the University OF Pennsyl-
vania by T. Truxtun Hare. the chair
man OF the football committee.
Connors has developed winning track
teams at Exeter. and his preparation of
the football teams had been such as to
cause comment at many of the New
England colleges.
Connors will practically succeed Mike
Murphy, for there has beer no varsity
football trainer since Mike died, and
the team suffered by reason of this
lOss.
1t is understood that Connors is to
have two-year contract so that his
work will continue through the regime
of George II. Brooke. who is tine head
coach.
Lawson Robertson, of New York. who
was also considered. has had little or
no experience with football elevtns.
and for this reason the Pennsylvania
football officials concluded that Con-
nors with thirteen years Of active serv-
ice. would be the best man for the

WILL GRANT APPEAL
IN K|LL|FEk'5 CASE
Judge Sessions Sets Hear
ings for Cincinnati Some
Time in Fall.
[BY LEASED WIRE1

CINCINNATI, May 6.-Judge SEES
sions of the United States cir nit court
of appeals announced today that he
had granted an appeal in the Federal
baseball leagues case relative to Play
err killifer, which was decided against
it at Grand Rapids several weeks ago.
1t was also announced that the hear
ing probably would take place in this
city some time in the fall.
Catcher Killifer of the Philadelphia
National league team signed a con-
tract to play with the Chicago Fed
eral league club. Later he reconsider
ed his action and jumped back to the
Philadelphia club, and the Federal
league brought suit in the United
States court at Grand Rapids in an eff
for to enjoin him from playing with
the Philadelphia club.
IN deciding the case Judge Sessions
in a lengthy opinion denied the appli-
cation of the Chicago Federal league
club for an Injunction on the ground
that the Chicago club did not come in
to court with clean hands" The re-
serve clause. however, was held not
valid. bet killifer was allowed to re-
turn to the Philadelphia Nationals af-
ter being severely scored by Judge Ses-
sions.
Judge Sessions said that the general
basis for the appeal was the claim
that the lower court had erred in de-
nying an injunction.
