FOREST HILLS IN
AMATEUR LEAGUE
Long Island Nine to Take the
Place of Seventh Regi-
ment Team.

The Forest Hills Garden Club has
been admitted into the Amateur Base
ball League and will take the place OF
the It'll Regiment, which will not COM
pete for the title this season. Lack of
a home field upon which to pla: its
games hindered the soldier team dur
ing the last two years.
The league again viii be a six-team
organization, and the season schedule
an ounced last week will have to be
revised. 1t will be read this week.
Judging by the interest taken by the
members of the Long Island organiza-
ton, it will surely make its presence
felt in the fight for the champion hip.
A team will be formed around a num-
Der of league players who arc members
of the club. All its games will be
played on field adjacent to the
grounds of the West Side Tennis Club.
Harvey T. Warren, a former Yale
player, will manage the nine.
Among some of the players who will
try for positions ere Julian Warder,
who played second base for the Engle-
wood Field Club last year; II. C.
Worth, who represented the South
Orange Field Club for four seasons; II.
T. Warren, +. ". Bristol, former Yale
athlete, and c. c. Close, S. Hillman
and c. Fuller, who are well known in
baseball circles about Forest Hills.

Mr.. Ruben received the telegram

place, he said, they had been prom
ised. Mr.. Rubien's reply was as fol-

championship per day and only six
days are scheduled. See Page 3S,

understand President Elliott's action.

not play more than ten, but these ten

weak team is of no more value than
not playing at all. But playing against

HOW UNION WON
BASKETBALL TITLE
Houghton and Kennedy
Tied for Lead in Number
of Points Scored.

By winning the championship OF the
Northeastern intercollegiate Basket
ball League, without defeat, Union
College demonstrated that it had one
of the strongest fiyes ever developed
in the history of the sport.
Although it did not meet Yale, the
championship team Of the old league,
it met and defeated Princeton wheh
that team was running neck and neck
with Yale for the lead. and its only
reverse was at the hands OF Cornell,
which finished second to Yale.
Although the Union five ran up a
topheavy score in only one game, 1t
won each contest In decisive fashion.
It's closest games were with Colgate,
which finished second in the league
race. II was the best offensive and
defensive team in the league, the aver
age score of it's opponents being a
trife over 10. while Colgate, with the
second best defensive team, held us
opponents 20 an average of Il points
On the offensive Union scored lo9
points. an average of % a game. Col
gates average was - points game
and its total 100.
WESLEYAN. which finished third, and
Williams. which was fourth, lost all
their games TO the two leaders, ana
Wesleyan beat Williams twice, so that
the Purple ended the season without a
victory. Wesleyans average score was
17II and Williams's 10 l-3. On the de-
fensive, opponents scores against Wes-
leyan were 21ls and against Will
Jams 90.
Houghton, of Union, and Kennedy,
Of Colgate. tied for the individual
scoring honors. with 67 points each
an average of II a game. Dave Bea-
YER. Of Union, led in scoring from the
Aoor with 20 baskets, while Houghtoni
of Union, with 81 points, led in scor-
ing from the foul line.

a twisted knee. Either one Of these
injuries is likely to snuff out players
future as completely as if he had lost
both hands.
Then come the practice games. For
the veterans these games are just what
the name implies. For the recruits
they amount to something more. They
are the means of teaching them more
baseball than they already know-more
baseball than many thought there was
TO learn. Practice games to their
ability are like emery wheels to. piece
Of steel they take off the rough edges.
Such is the basic principle Of spring
training. and il is by far the hardest
part of n baseball players life. espe-
cially if he has been lax during the of
season.

yannah ball club to-day by an over
whelmng score Of IA to !. The yam
koes bet.ed three twirlers freely, held
their rivals down 20 n few hits and
stole bases as IL pilfering was their
long suit.
The greatest surprise Of the day was
the appearance of Cy Piez on the pitch
irg mound. Cy was suffering from
slight attack OF grip yesterday. ard was
confined TO the hotel corridors by or
der of Donovan and the clubs physl-
clan. Through some miraculous cure
overnight the lanky twrler announced
at noon that he was better.
Cy pleaded with Donovan so ehec-
lively that the manager above MIN to
follow King Cole after the latter
twirled the first three innings. Cy
hurled the ball as If he never knew

allow one hit and struck out Tour. IN

The weather was anything out con-

weather had appreciable effect on the
attendance, for only 800 spectators
were present when Donovan as umpire
called "play ball.

them Daley, Hartzell, Kelly and Iamm;;
After the third Truesdale relieved

Schwert went behind the bat for the
locals.
The Yankees did not score until the
second, when Pipp got home on a
single. Cooks sacrifice. Aragon's hit
and on a double steal with the Cuban.
In the fourth Nunemaker boosted the
total by whanging out homer, when
also brought in Aragon and Boone.
PPM had scored just before this, on a
double and Aragon's hit.
Four moro runs were scored IN the
fifth. when Cheney became wild and
the boys started real base stealing. In
the eighth the entire Yankee lineup
faced Manson, southpaw. The latter
could not find the plate, and though
only two hits were registered off him
/ five runs came over the plate.
Paul Lewis finished up the last
three innings for the Yankees. and
Savannah scored it's only run off him
in the seventh, Though everything
was adverse TO a real test, Donovan
was pleased with the showing of Cole

bows were able to get their eyes on the
ball.
