PROFESSIONAL GOLF

zhEIe-a a great deal of golf is being pIInyed across the water mainly be- csAuse there are many enthusiasts be- yonad the lighting ages one type of gozneer-Lae professional player has sllfka1ed from the ravageskof the war.
 As rule. the money chasers re- ei~azsa very small salaries, amounting to an average wage of IS shiItngs f18T 1-21 week, but by giving proper attention to their posts they are hsad to be certain of deriving Satisfactory incomes from the sale of balls and clubs and the teaching of members.
 Tor those who cannot join the army the present position is not a hapa5y one Except where the leaders are concerned, there has been hardly any teaching since the war began, and fI1e sale of clubs has fallen to som ethtng like the Irred1zcdbIe 1azz1Fi- azzF mum.

LAWYER
 sFLAYS ORGANIZED
 BASEBALL IN COURT

Chicago, Jan. 21-Thea eourtro om of United States Judge Kenesaw M Iandis was crowded yesterday with baseball notabIes, who listened to the opening statement in the motion of the Federal League for an injunction against the National Commission and the two major leagues.
 Keene H. Addington of counsel for the Federal League was first to take position before the bar, and he did not reIinquish the oratorica1 bat un- til five hours had elapsed and the evening shades had begun to gather. He verbally battered organized base ball as a huge monopoly of men and a commercial power that enslaves and controls a vast supply of skilled labor. In dramatic address he stated that among the charges which would be pressed were the alleged use of a blacklist against outlaws not within the charmed circle of the two major leagues and the ent1ce- ment of players to jump contracts.
 He specifically charged the Ma tiona1 Commission with being a monopoly, with entering into con spiraey and a combination, and ask ed that an injunction be granted against it and that all contracts be declared null and void. He paid es- peciai compliments to the waiver and draft rules of organized baseball.
 Attorney Addington particularly fIayed the draft rule. He termed it gambling, speculating and perm- cious practice striking in the very heart of our American institutions "
 By means of it." he declared, ssthe major leagues send one player to the minors to be Harmed out, and then by August 15 either get better player for him or take the same man back
 He declared that the power of the National Commission was absolute and yielded without mercy until the Players Fraternity worked reforms. He pointed out that in 1913 fifty-one appeals by players out of a total of seventy-six were denied by the com mission.
 Last year. said Add1ngton. when the F'ederaIs were strong only twenty-one were denied, while twen- ty-six were granted

AND GIBBONS TO
 MEET TONIGHT

Milwaukee. Jan. 321-Two star mid shts-Jimmy C1atbby and Mike Gfbbons-wi11 hold the spotlight to- night in Milwaukee. These middle weights are scheduled to fight ten rounds and if both men display their best qualities the bout should devel- .op into one of the best since the me morable battle between the lamented Stanley Ketche1 and Billy Papke.
 Tonight's bout has brought back to the game fans who gave up their roofing privileges because they be- lieved the day of the good fighters has passed. Reports from the fight city say that special trains from ev- cry burg, hamlet, city and town with in a radius of 200 miles have been chartered to convey the sports fol- lowers to the arena.
 Prom oter Tom Andrews, who took in some very few dollars less than $4O.000 for that bout between Willie Ritchie and Ad Wolgast, says that he will be surprised if that figure is not beaten tonight.
 Of the legitimate midd1eweights now bidding for public favor Gibbons has the highest percentage of knock out victories to his credit.
 During his ring career Gibbons has engaged in seventy-three contests, out of this number he has scored twenty-five knockouts. Dil1on's ra- tio is thirty-eight knockouts out of 135 matches. ? The knockout average of C1abby and Eddie McGoorty who, with Gib- fbons. compose the trio in the n1id- dleweight division at present. Is each 80 per cent, a mark considerably under the record of Gibbons. To date C1abby has engaged in 112 bouts and has scored thirty -four knockouts while McGoorty has figured in eigh- ty-nine battles and has heard the fa- tai 10 tolled off over twenty-five vic tins.

BURGESS
 RETURN AIDS
 YALE HOCKEY

New Haven, Jan. 21.-The iikeli- hood that Bunny Burgess will be available for the Yale hockey team again within two weeks has caused the team to revive hopes of finishing high in the intercollegiate race. The seven has not yet shown form consis- tent to allow prophecy of a, finish among the top notchers, but the re- turn of Burgess has revived hopes.
 Easily the strongest rnfdaeld mem Der of the Yale team, Burgess retire ment because of. a faculty setback was a keen. disappointment to the seven when the season began. Chan ces of his being declared eligible are regarded bright and he will probably rejoin the team by February l, in time for YaIe's hardest games. the Harvard, Princeton and Dartmouth matches.
 Dtckey, who has been playing the place during his absence, is clearly too light. He has been replaced by Harry Wiser the football haK-back. for the past two games. Wiser Is equally good on the defense, but is not as rapidly aggressive. But for the Yale defensive weakness the Ellis would have probably won the game from Queen College in Toronto Can adas last Saturday. The tributes to the superiority of the Yale offensive game were general.

NOR I THAMPT TON MAY GET NEW BRITAIN
 BASEBALL TEAM

aNorthampton, Jan. 21-Offcials of the Northampton Baseball Associa- stion, which operates the Twin State League franchise in this city. yester- day promised William and Luke Scinski of New Britain, Conn, 8 def mite answer by February to their proposition to fput an Eastern Asso- ciatIon club in Northampton this coming season.
 The Scinsl<i brothers came here to interest Northampton fans in taking sover the New Britain franchise for at least one season, and after g. con- ference with former President Fred W. Bement and Treasurer George W. Swift were told that they would be given an answer before February I. This is the date set by the Eastern Association directors for William ScinskI to report back to them of whatever efforts he makes to retain his franchise this year.
 The New Brit tain men said they must operate the franchise this sea son or it would lapse and that they could not afford to remain in New Britain another year. They prom ised to bring the club to Northampton and promised to have William Sein- ski manage it providing Northampton fans would guarantee the sale of 150 season tickets each for sixty-three home games
 With 3. salary limit of s2,000 a month for Eastern Association base ball as against anywhere from $2O0 to $500 a week for Twin State League baseball, the cost would be nearly doubled. However. Bement and Swift promised to call a meeting of the association within a few days and give the proposition 8 thorough dis cussion.

DEVLIN AND
 IRWIN WANT
 TORONTO JOB

New York Jan. 21-Among the many applications received by President J. J. MeCarery of the Toronto baseball club for the position of manager are those of Arthur Irwin, former scout for the Yankees, and Arthur Devltn, formerly of the Giants.
 Irwin has also been in Boston re- gently, looking over che New Englan nd league field He has had several oe- fers, and a little credit is given to the story that he will go to the Federal league. Other applicants for the job held so many years by Joe Kelley are Mike O;Netl and Hank Ramsey of Utica.
 It dsn't likely that any of these can- didates will land the place, as the In- ternationa1 league has decided to have only playing 1nanagers next season. It is stated that Eddie Fitzpatrick, the Toronto clubs second baseman, will get the position.

New York fans are enthusing over the idea that Catcher Ivy wtngo re- gently sold by St, Louis to Cincinnati, may come to New York in 9 trade Charley Doofna the former Philadel- pnia manager, Lis slated to do most of, the catching for Cincinnati and as Wingo is signed at a high salary Cincinnati probably wouldn't care to keep him, too.
 McGraw would be willing to give a bunch of players for Wingo. The latter is one of the hardest hitting scatehers in the big leagues. He sclouted BOO in so games last year and is also q good thrower. The ru- snnor that Marsans, the Cuban out fielder, may come to the Giants, in a trade. Is also being revived.
 The Hartford baseball club has de- cided to make some changes next sea- son. Outnelder Jack Hoey and Catcher MuIdoon will be made free priced for Hartford. Hartford will retain only eight men of last years squad. They are Pitchers, Reiger, Geist and salmon: Infielders Kehher, Curry, GardelIa and Groh: Outfielder Barney.
 Hugh McKInnon and Al Wlnn. who are trying to promote an out law league are lighting among them selves. Winn sneal1ed in and grab bed a park in Lowell which McKin- non was after and there is war be- tween the promoters now
 Elmer zacher, who played the out field for New Haven a few years ago, has been sold by Oakland, Cal, to Salt lake City. Elmer will have to take 12 or B wives now.

BAS ETBALL GOSSIP HEARD
 FROM HOLY NAME LEAGUE

This GartIand of the Hearts is one grand center. He is hereS there and everywhere He has the making of a fine player and Bill Garrtty was certainly fortunate in landing 9 man of his ability. By the way, GarTity is rapidly developing into a star for ward. His work of Monday evening against the St. Mary's was nothing short of sensational when he shot six baskets, making total of 12 of the IT points made by the Hearts.
 The crowds at the games are in creasing every week. The games to- morrow night will most likely bring out a record crowd for an amateur basketball game. The St. Charles, and St. Mary's will battle for honors in the opening contest. If the Johns trim the Hearts, which is improbable but not imp possible by any means, the winner of the first battle between the Charles and their Alma Mater will be anchored in a tie with the Hearts for first place henors.
 At the league meeting, held in St. Charles hall, on Tuesday evening, the are to be played. Hereafter the games on Mondays will be played in St Charles hall and on Fridays in St. Johns gym. Harmony prevailed at the meeting. Every magnate was trying to help every team but his boys acted as if they were just board ing an ocean liner for a distant land and leaving their dear ones behind. If this procedure is followed it augurs well for the success of the league The league is built on a. very sound foundation and will not stand for any disorganizors which are generally found in leagues of all kinds the world over.
 The feminine fans are turning out in large numbers to the games. The directors got their heads together at the meeting Tuesday and decided to lower the admission fee of ladies to 10 cents St. Charles have the Iars- est following among the ladies while the Hearts are bringing new ones every night.
 St Johns Court on Pembroke street is one of the most attractive in the city. The court is of regulation size with a fine black walnut gallery overhead. The distance. from the floor to the ceiling is about 60 feet giving ample room for long shots to be pulled off. The proper way to reach the court is to board an East
 Main street car, get off at Jane street and walk east two blocks. The games hereafter will be- started promptly on the. scheduled time and the last game will be cornpleted by 10:3o o'clock.
 St Mary's and St. Charles, are the only teams that have secured their regulation uniforms with the eoIors allotted them. An adopted colored Jersey makes a team more attractive on the floor even if some fans. do say that fine jerseys don't make fine players.

 They are having many protests in the IntercoIleg1ate basketball league Columbia protested a game which Princeton won last week and now Pennsylvania objects to Princeton's Quakers claim one of their players threw a goal which would have won the game but 1t was not allowed be- cause the official declared. the whis- tie blew before the ball left the players hands.
 Andy CoakIey, baseball coach at Columbia, says he is wiling to sit in the stand when his team plays if other college coaches will follow his example. Yale, Princeton and Har- yard have also been talking about making the coach keep off the bench during games.
 Larry whitney, captain of last years Dartmouth football eleven, will be assistant coach at Penn State next season. Bill Hol1enbach, who has been very successful at Penn State has given up his job as head coach and 1t is said will coach the Univer- sity of PennsyIyania back1eId candi- dates next season

LooKIN' FEM OVER.

Fans all over the country were surprised when the Braves won the National league pennant5 fans were also surprised when Washington and in the Elm City; fans were dumb founded when the Braves beat the Athletics for the worlds c1lampion- ship and fans were astounded when Sammy Robideau finished Gilbert Gallant. him of Boston at the Casino the other night, but never in the annals of sporting events were they so completely astonished as on Monday night in St. Charles hall when the St. Charles quintet were handed a sound walloping by the boys from St Johns parish. The odds were almost 10 to 1 that the boys in green would capture the honors and nobody begrudged the decisive victory of the St. Johns. The ssAllies'' were reinforced by Kochiss of r. M- c. A. fame and take it from me this boy will be heard The Saints suffered greatly the loss of Christy and Herkhefmer, the for n1er having wrenched his side in the battle with the Hearts Friday last The Saints have the makings of a good team but should give little more time to practice
 St. Mary's have shown wonderful improvement in their last two ap- pearances and it behooves the other teams to brace up Immediately if they hope to be in the running. Hur- ley of this team, is giving lLannon of the Hearts a close run for premier honors in their respective positions. Bart Dunn of the Alma Matters is fast developing into 8 star player. This youngster is a. fine forward mate for Hurley and is also great on the defensive. Lyddy of the Saints is also starting to round into form and when this three get going. hedge on the betting immediately.
 Brennan of the St. Charles team has come back like a trojan. He was designated, according to the dope I sters over on the East Side, as being ready for the discard Beau was dandy little forward when playing on the champion St. Joseph five in 1910 and he has proven his worth to the boys in green in the two games he has played. They say you can't come back and the truth of it is that some of the people that, make. that statement in reality were never there to go.
