HURLING BRICKS
AT PROFESSIONALS
Colleges Kicking About Brickley Have
men Who Have Played For Pay
in Unorganized Ball.

George Brickley is being made the
"goat" by many of the colleges that
profess such respect for the amateur
and eligibility rules, and they are bas
ing their attitude toward Brickley on
the fact that he played professional
ball with the Athletics.
These same colleges and prep schools
who are striking that attitude of
- holier than thou know fall well that
Brickley was as much professional for
playing with the Newport team of the
Twin State league as he was for being
q member for a short time of the Ath-
letics. He was even more Of a profess
sional with Newport for he played ball
there and did not warm the bench as
he did with Mack S aggregation.
But many of these colleges do not
care to consider the Twin State league
part of Brio keys baseball career for
the very simple reason that by so do
ing, if they lived up to their professed
attitude, they would lose the services
of several star athletes.
This goes for Amherst, Lehieh, Mas
sachusetts "Aggies Tufts, Holy
Cross and, of course, Brown, but Brown
has n rule that bends conveniently
There they consider man still m
amateur if he plays ball with team not
under the national agreement.
Brown, therefore, considers not the
acceptance Of pay for services but
merely whether a man places himself
under the control of organized ball. So
long as he draws a good salary in a
league that is managed by amateur
managers he can play in any Brown
game if he is able to make the team.
When one stops to consider the fact
that LeGore and the other Yale I'M
fortunates, who have been debarred
from college athletics because they ac-
cepted board for a week or two during
the summer while playing ball for a
hotel team, could transfer to Brown and
be eligible to college athletics it is
convincing that there is a lot to be
done in promoting uniformity in rules
before any of the college authorities
do any more hurting of brickbats
There are too many glass windows in
all college buildings to make this prac-
tice anything but costly.

SCRUB TEAM MADE
PRACTICE HARDER
Howard at Center Yesterday and Rich
mond at End-New Plays Tried
Out for Keene Game Saturday.

Brattleboro high school 5 eleven had
scrub team to practice against yester-
day afternoon for the first time this
season, and the boys found that there
were times when much lighter aggre-
CATION, with Edward J. Mulry of the
faculty playing quarterback and direct
ing the play, could make gains through
the high schools line. 1t was differ
emf than playing against the air and
gave opportunity to correct, in part,
some glaring faults in the defense.
Howard, a freshman, was at center
for the regular team and Richmond, the
regular center, was at left end in place
of Winchester, who is nursing a lama
leg. Howard is light for the position.
but passes fairly well. Richmond has
lot to learn about playing the end
position. and like all who are new to
the position, is inclined to be drawn in
because of his anxiety to get into the
play.
One or two new plays were tried out
at the close of the scrimmage work and
may be used in the Keene game. Prac
tee was longer this afternoon because
of the fact that there was no afternoon
session for any of the team as tho
| teachers are all at Rutland for the state
convention, and tomorrow there viii
| he light signal drill.

Sporting Notes.

The first home game of Brattleboro
high will be played Saturday at Island
park with Keene high as the opposing
team.
1t looks as if Penn State had some
busy time ahead with Harvard, Lehigh,
Lafayette and Pittsburg to be played
in the order named.
Among the men ''hi2her up in
baseball it would not be surprising il
the Cincinnati Reds, the Chicago Cubs
and the st. Louis Cardinals all changed
hands before New Year S day.
New York university has called the
attention of the Trinity college authori-
| ties to the fact that George Brickley
| is professional and that as the teams
| play Tuesday in New York it is pre-
| ferred to have all amateurs compete
and not have some professionals on one
team.
Although outweighed by Willie
Richie, lightweight champion, Johnny
| Dundee bested him i'll FIVE of the II
rounds they fought in New York Tues
dav night and two of the rounds were
even. Richie has declined to make l3:
pounds to meet Charlie White after h
had agreed to do so. He says he want
to battle at catch weights. Anofhe
crown is trembling in the balance.
