Among the Central High School
athletes who are making rapid prog
ress in their respective events is
John Flockhart, the shot putter.
Flockhart is improving rapidly under
the tutelage of Coach Anderson and
is expected to be q point gatherer by
spring. He will have his first tryout
in the Poly Prep games which are
scheduled for January 16 at Brooklyn.
Central has heretofore been very
weak in the weight events. Now
the shot putters overbalance the rest
of the team. George Smith. the foot
ball captain. also is heaving the lead
in splendid form. Points in the
weight events will be necessary this
year as the relay material is only
mediocre. whereas in former seasons
the relay was a consistent booster of
the point total.

Academy pisappoints.

Newark Academy's determination
to adhere to its policy of not placing
an indoor track team In competition
is causing regret among the follow
ers of local scholastics. A spirited
duel was looked for between the Far
rand school representatives and the
Central High School athletes at the
State scholastic indoor champion
ships on january 81 at the First
Regiment Armory. The race be-
tween Johnny Gardner. the High
School Splinter, and Goldberg espe-
cially was keenly anticipated. Kim
Atha is reputed to be the best
schoolboy quarter-mile runner in the
vicinity. Last year he was second
only to Lagay, the Junior metropol-
itan champion, at the distance. Be
sides counting in the quarter he was
a point winner in the pole vault and
the high jump. Johnny Kruger, cap
tain of the Red and Black, was the
best schoolboy hurdler hereahouts.

Central timber topper, and others to
his credit.

Knabe on the Job.

Otto Knabe began his career as a
Federal League manager by wiring
to various baseball players offering to
sign them to contracts to play with
the Baltimore club, to which he
jumped. Knabe started out to get in
touch with the players he desires as
soon as possible. He figures that the
major league clubs will get busy now
trying to sign up their stars, and sew
eral other managers in the Federal
League have been at work so long
that he must keep busy to catch up
with them II would like to get Runt
Walsh and Doc Miller" said Knabe.
MILLER told me in New York last
month that he was through with
baseball. I'll bet, though, that he
signs to play with Baltimore"
Knabe also said that he will have
his players train in the South He
will take trip to that section In q
few days and pick out a training
camp. Knabe will go to Baltimore In
a few days to establish his headquar-
ters. BY that time he expects to be
able to report to the officials of the
club that he has corralled some of
the stars Of the major leagues.

would not be just to the players and
that they would regret it. The next
request objected to and passed for
the time being, provided that writ
ten notice should be given players
that waivers are asked upon them.
Mr.. Fultz maintained that there
should be no secrecy in this matter,
while Chairman Hermann endeavor-
ed to explain that the secret asking
of waivers did not injure the player.
The fifth request, which was held
for further discussion, provided for
the unconditional release of players
who served twelve years in the major
and the class AA leagues. The OBJ
lection to this rule was made by the
committee from the class AA leagues,
which vigorously opposed it's accep-
lance.
The sixth and last request held UP
for later decision was that waivers
when once asked shall not be with
drawn. Chairman Hermann was op-
posed to this rule and on his motion
1t was passed.
Rule seventeen was done away en-
tirely, but new rule embodying the
same idea will be formulated and
agreed upon.
The commission will meet today to
take UP several cases that appear on
its docket.
