WHEELER COMPANY
EMPLOYEES TO FORM
BIG ORGANIZATION
Thomas J. Callahan Is Power
Behind Move-Soccer, Base
ball and Basketball
to Be Promoted

Thomas ]. Callahan, who Ia the athletic
enthusiast at the Wheeler Company, 18th
street and Allegheny avenue, has an
nounced some interesting plans for the
coming year. According to the scheme of
Mr.. Callahan an athletic association will
be formed and various branches of sport
promoted.
In an interview today Mr.. Callahan
said: 1.-THE boys of the Wheeler Com
pany have been interested In athletics for
a long time and we have made some at
tempt at organization, but never quite
realized that ambition. The time is not
far distant, however, before we do have
a governing body, and then l predict big
things.
I'VE have played baseball and this year
soccer appealed to a number of the men.
AS a result of the interest In the English
pastime a crack eleven was formed. Mac
Laren, n wiry Englishman is the heart
of the soccer team, and he has been in
stilling the fight in the boys Broadley
is managing the details. and doing very
WELL while Linderman and Healey are
stars of the first water. This year we
are playing Independent games. but hope
to become member of the Industrial
Soccer League next year.
I'VE have, continued Mr.. Callahan,
already made arrangements for a good
baseball team. Last year we played in
dendent games and will do so again this
time. Maybe in 1917 we will be strong
enough to play in the Industrial League
hope so In basketball we are doing n
bit, but we are not as strong as some
other manufacturing plants. but hope to
he within few years. Some of the men
on the team have played the cage game
before. but others wholly lack expert
ence."

VINCONlE TEAM in
NIGHT SIGNAL DRILL
Eleven Works Out Under Arc
Lights at SD and Wal
nut Streets

Unable to get a gymnasium for prac-
tice last night the Vincome football team,
which meets Mcclure on New Years
Day for the championship Of Philadel-
phla and Delaware Counties resorted to
practice under the arc lights in the
neighborhood of SD and Walnut streets.
This was the first occasion on which
the NIncome players were together since
their last game three weeks ago at Nor
rIstown. Manager Macdonald, however.
has ARRANGED to conduct the workouts
indoors hereafter, except ON the morn
ing before the game. when the Nincome
team will practice on the Strawbridge
and Clothier Field. the scene of the game
the afternoon following.
Managers of the two teams will meet
at the playing field tomorrow afternoon
to arrange for handling a probable crowd
of 5000, The demand for tickets Is so
great that provision will be made to
put the pasteboards on sale at some
downtown agency. 1t is the plan of the
managers to provide 1000 reserved chars
for the sdelines.
In the lineup of the Nincome team last
night were the players that are scheduled
20 start the championship battle on Satur-
day. Harold Lentz. one of the most SEN
sational players to be turned out by
local school, directed the play from the
quarterback position. The Nincome team
work will be built principally around
Lentz, as he is a punter and drop kicker
of note, brainy leader, an accurate
forward passer and a remarkable runner
with the ball.
Most of the time was spent i'm wearing
the rust Off the plays used by VinCome
during the past season and developing an
open attack, which will be used exten-
sively. The Vincome boys have fashioned
their attack after the style adopted by
Foster Sanford. the famous Yale player
and for several seasons past coach of the
Rutgers College eleven.

LEAGUE WINNER
Bethlehem Soccerists Not
Prolific Scorers as Diss-
ton in American League
RACE RESUMED JAN. 8

When the second half of the American
Soccer League season starts on January
T. Dlsston will have the advantage of a
four-point lead over Bethlehem. Disston
has won from each of the remaining five
clubs, including the steelworkers. while
the latter team gained its points at the
expense of Boys Club, Victor and the
Rangers, the weak clubs of the league.
The game with the Hibernians still is to
be played.
Although there is little doubt in the
minds Of soccerists that Bethlehem is
the strongest team In the circuit, the
points lost to Disston on November 20
may cost the upstate eleven the cham
ponship. Bethlehem and Disston do not
meet again until February 5; meanwhile
the weaker clubs will be played and val
liable points obtained. Even should the
steelworkers defeat Disston. the Tacony-
lies would still be in the running, since
no one of the other clubs of the league.

This is where Disston has decided adj

Strangely enough, Ritchle's reign at

But while conditions favored Welsh,

This league Is having trouble among Its
managers. Because OF the desire to win
some clubs are offering players on other
teams more money to jump. They may
not be able to leave their own club but
they become dissatisfied and are of no

In Philadelphia right now.
All of the above leagues will play the
