PHILLIE Travellers SOFT

With all their original players miss
ing from the lineup last night. the
Brownson basketball team had easy
going with the West Philadelphia five.
trouncing them to the tune of SO to
33. The visitors presented weak
lineup, which offered little resistance
to the local cagers.
The West Phillie team was brought
here after the Rivorton-P Palmyra quin-
tet had cancelled at practically the
last minute on the locals. From the
start the game was listless, and only
the star shooting OF Lacey. Dougherty
and Mccullough put interest into the
battle.
Several OF the goals Gagged by Lacey
were from difficult angles and went
through the net clean. Mccullough
startled the fans with a series OF
lightning plays which resulted in
four straight field goals within a
minute and a half
Cruice, the West Philadelphia cap
tain. featured for the losers, caging
eight field goals. Several of his shots
were made when he was surrounded
by the local guards, but he evaded
and sent the ball through the net.

BY BILL MCGOWAN.

Not since the days OF Wilmington
Jack Daley, the man who fought Kid
Bivigne. worlds lightweight cham
pion, twenty-round draw, has the
old town turned out a local boy in
the fight game as a contender for
title. At the present time the town
has a good prospect in Walter p.
EARLY. whose home is at No. 20S North
Van Buren street. Woo" as he is
better known bv those who know him
best and like him most is now doing
service in Uncle Sans navy. Sew
eral years back Woo" fought some
great battles at the DUPONT Athletic
Club and al the Armory While box
ing here he went to the post under
the name of Young Johnny Coulon.
Last New Years day Early won
the bantamweight crown OF the At
lantic fleet by decisively heating Kid
Lisky in nine rounds. The referee
stopped the bout TO save Liskey. The
fact that Early holds the title is
proved by the accompanying picture,
his belt being in evidence.
Early has fought and defeated every
man he has faced since he donned the
mitts. Previous 10 his titular engage
ment early defeated the followine
boys in rapid succession: Young
Moran. six rounds: Young McCuren
six rounds; Johnny Sacco. six rounds
/ Young Carlton, six rounds, and Young

the amateur championship of Phila-
delphia in 1909 in the featherweight
class, is a brother to the navy champ.
Bunk Early. Jimmy Early and
Charley have also handled the mitts
with success
II may be remembered that Early
put up some of the classiest exhibit

numerous others
Woo" also played baseball and
football with the DUPONT Academy

PROPOSE CHANCES IN
CODE OF TROTTING RACES

Acting in its capacity as an advisory
committee on rules the Board Of Re
view of the National Trotting Asso-
citation in New York on Thursday, de-
cided to recommend several changes
Of note in the present turf code. BY
one OF these it is proposed to open
the door for races at distances of less
than a mile. To accomplish this the
Trotting Congress will be asked TO
provide that time made at any dis
tance shall be a bar only in races at
that distance, and shall not be con-
sidered in determining the eligibility
of horses in races at other distances.
For example, a horse winning at six
furlongs in 1.30--a 2.20 gait--would
still be eligible to races at one mile
without regard to this performance.
And a horse with a record OF 200 for
one mile could start at six furlOngs,
or seven furlongs, regardless of his
performance at greater distance.
BY another recommendation il is
proposed to reckon the distance" in
heat races by the length of such heats
when under or over one mile. Ten
yards will be the distance" for each
lurlong IN races on half-mile tracks
One mile tracks the allowance will be
eight yards for each furlong When
eight or nine horses start in any heat
the distance" is to be increased two
yards for each furlong the horses trot
/ or pace.
It is also recommended that in IN.
/ lure all races. unless otherwise spe-
cially arranged, shall be at mile heats
three in five. for horses four years ole
or over; mile heats.t two in three, foi
three-year-Olds and two-year-olds
and for yearlings a mile dash.

Scholastic basketball had an aus
pcious opening in Wilmington last
night. when the Friends School quin-
tet handed the heavy Swarthmore
Freshmen a % to 20 wallop. The To-
calls were greatly outweighed by the
visitors, but their brainy and fast
playing gave them the game.
The local schooboys went into the
lead at the outstart Of the battle, and
from that time on they kept forging
ahead of the Freshmen. The game
was fast. but the freshies were out
played by Friends, more so than the
score indicates. The Locals played to-
gether well and held the Swarthmore
forwards so close that they were un-
able TO do much damage.
Individual star of the game was
Dick Hall, the local guard. who.
in addition to caging five double-deck-
ers. also tossed in seven goals from
the fifteenfoot line.
