Looking Forward.

"A new year opens new chapter in life. The
past is gone, added to eternity. Ahead Of us
stretches new span of time. In the book of life,
new pages, unsullied and unmarried, give us op-
portunity to write with bold upright characters
new thoughts, words and deeds of rectitude and
progress or to scrawl messy, crooked dirty let
ters of falsehood, dishonesty and corruption.
Time is not tyrant debating what we are to
write and how That is optional with us, but time,
however, does not permit the change altera-
ton of record when December 81 arrives.
The new year ought inspire every one to a
high resolve of doing what is right for rights
sake, of putting principle above any sordid and
mean consideration, and of working on a scroll
that will not put us to shame when the year is
ended.

NEW YORK, December 3G.-Elliott
H. Binzen of Fordham University sue
cessfully withstood the assault upon
his national junior indoor tennis sin
giles championship today in the final
match Of the tournament ON the courts
of the 9Th Regiment Armory. In
straight sets he defeated Henry 3.
O'Boyle of Georgetown University,
whose home Is in Pittston, Pa. The
score was 6-1, 7-5, 6-S.
Stirring net playing carried BinZen
to his second holding of the national
junior honors. He handled the fast
service of OBoyle with ease and GER
tainty. In the first set Binzen made a
run of six straight games for the set.
O'Boyle steadied and used his crossing
drives SO ably that he advanced to the
second set. Once more Binzen put his
net smashing and overhead driving to
the test to win five games in a row for
the set. From that to the end BinZen
always was in command, winning the
desperate rallies at close range.

COAST TENNIS MATCHES
Team Competition to Be Held in Los
Angeles Early in
March.

SAN FRANCISCO. December S0.-The
Pacific States Tennis Association yes
terday announced a number of attrac-
tive tournaments for the new year. The
most important, aside from the fix
lures. will be an east VS.. west team
competition that has proved SO popular
since inaugurated in 1915. Los Angeles
has been definitely selected as the scene
of the matches, and DR.. Sumner Hardy
announced that the date will likely be
the first week in March, with return
matches In the east in August or Sep
tember.
George NJ. Church and Harold A.
Throckmorton, who are on a tour of
the orient, will be back by that time
and will represent the east In the
matches at Los Angeles. Two other
players will also likely be brought out
to bring up the team to its full strength
of four men. The west will have q
similar number of representatives.
The selections have not been made as
yet, but Billy Johnson, Peck Griffin,
Johnny Strachan and Maurice Nc
Loughlin undoubtedly will be picked.
Four matches will be played in singles
overwhelming fashion this season, and
the local stars are anxious for revenge
Another tournament that will attract
attention will be held in Honolulu
about the middle of February. Church
and Throckmorton will stop off to par
ticipate and two representatives will
be sent by the Pacific association. john
ston has been definitely selected as one
of these, and the other win be named
shortly after the first of the year. With
three such stars as Il starter the Homo
lulu matches promise to have deal of
class.

EACH TO PUT UP 5000.
Players of League Winning Inter
national-A. A. Series to Split Pot.

CHICAGO, December 30.--There seems
to be some misunderstanding as to the
division of the purse that International
League and American Association
teams will contend for in the inter-
league games next fall. Each league
will put up $4,000, all of which is to
go to the players. The series will ex-
tend over forty-eight days of play. or
3S4 games in all. The league winning
the majority of these games will take
down the purse of $4,000. which will
be equally divided among the eight
clubs of the winning league, according
to the plan announced. The argument
is made that by this plan every club
and every player will be kept hustling
the old story: You have to put up
money to get the ball player on his
toes.

little running since foot ball season.
He is in good shape physically: but his
legs have not been getting the right
kind of training for sprinting. A few
starts and one or two short dashes
during the early part of the holidays
are all ne mas done since the foot ball
season ended. Despite the fact that he
will not be able to do near as well to-
morrow as later in the year. Brewer
has an excellent chance to win the
sprint event in which he is to take
part. Bernie Wefers, jr., a son of the
great sprinter who wore Georgetown's
colors two decades ago, will be one of
Brewers opponents.
Jim Collifower's Navy team had a
narrow escape from defeat in it's game

IT am more afraid Of our game with
the City College of New York next

following week. This comes at the
fag end Of the holidays, just after ex-
and while many of the fell
lows are getting short vacations. The
game consequently is going to find us
somewhat unprepared. The New York
team is on trip and through such
playing is keeping in fine trim"

Scandinavians Due Here.

THE small team of track athletes
consisting of Meredith. Looms, Simp-
son, Murray and Ward made 4 very
favorable impression abroad and an
other team will be sent to represent
America this summer If it is found
impossible for the Scandinavian athletes
to leave their countries on account of
military duty. These countries deserve
great credit for their initiative in in
viting our prominent athletes to visit
them and our boys appreciate tie
splendid reception accorded them
abroad.
Swimming is in it's infancy in this
country and this accounts for the num-
ber of records broken during the past
year Judging from the demand from
all parts of the country for the
privilege Of holding championships for
men and women, an even greater
onslaught on the records will take
place. These championships will be
distributed so that all sections Of tho

CLEVELAND, December 30.-The vet
eran Otto Hess. who spent the past sea-
son in the Pacific Coast League, is
quoted in an interview given at his
home in Dayton, Ohio. as saying that
Ping Bodie has learned lot of base
ball in the past two years, is better
than ever and will make good with
Connie Mack's team. Hess also thinks
the reports about Bodie quarreling with
Mack over salary all bunk. 1t is his
opinion that Ping is anxious to. get
back in the big show. Hess also says
that Bill Kenworthy, drafted from Oak
lard by the st. Louis Browns, never
will be a success an infielder, but
says he could be developed into a high
class outf1elder. Kenworthys hands are
too small to play the infield, says Hess.

BY BILLY EVANS.

Minor occurrences often play
big parts in the outcome of ball
games and the careers OF players.
Frequently some sarcastic remark
will change the outcome OF con-
test. Usually Herman Schaeier S
comedy works to the advantage OF
his team and the detriment OF the
opposing club. I once heard a
real star pitcher confess that
Schaefer had just about "kidded"
him out OF a game. Most of these
occurrences are unknown to fans
at the time, although in many
cases they surmise from the ac-
tons of the players that some
thing unusual is taking place.
The quick -witted fellow has consid-
cradle advantage over his think
ing brother on the ball field. The UNI
pire who is quick at sizing up a sit
uation. and who has a good comeback
for the many verbal volleys that are
hurled his way, escapes with fewer
riots than the arbitrator whose only
method Of handling situations Is to
give the player trip to the clubhouse
Often there are much easier and just
as effective methods OF settling an ar
gument. Just TO show what a sharp
remark can DO in critical situation,
will relate a few incidents that have
come under my personal observation.
A few years ago minor league
pitcher came to the big league ac-
companied by large-sized reputation
and an even larger pair of ears. The
bush leaguer's Sound-halterS riyaled
those Of the yellow kid made famous
by the comic supplements. and natural :
y he was sensitive on the subject of
ears. He was getting along nicely
until he bumped into the Tigers, who
Were known for their ability at hit
ting the pill. For six innings the
youngster managed to hold the slug
gers in check and retain the one-run
lead secured by his club in the second
inning. In the seventh the Tigers
filled the bases, two men were out and
Tyrus Cobb was up.
Manager Jennings of the Tigers was
not long in noting the unusual rair of
ears worn by the young pitcher. AS
Cobb approached the plate Jennings
did a dance in the coacher's box that
no vaudeville artist has ever been able
to Initiate correctly. and in Il voice that
could be heard all over the grounds
yelled:
Young man. you better pin back your
ears before you start to pitch, and
close your eyes after you let the ball go.
or you are liable to be selling shoe
strings on the corner tomorrow. Not
one ear-both of them"
BY this time the umpire was busy
evicting Jennings from the coaching
lines. but he went with a smile, for he
figured Tyrus would do the rest. Jen-
nings had hit the sensitive spot. and
edly. the pitcher figured that every
body In the park was gazing at him and
his ears. Cobb hit the first ball pitched
back at him at the rate of a mile a min
ute. BY quick ducking he managed to
avoid IL. and II sailed on the line to CEN
ter field. which enabled two runners to
cross the plate. Sam Crawford followed

Too Much for McAleer.

Several years ago. while managing
the st. Louis Americans, Jimmy Nc
A:cer had a pitcher on the pay roll who
was better singer than a twirler Soon
after he reported in the spring he de-
veloped a lame arm, but, as he was Il
likable fellow and possessed a good
tenor voice. McAleer decided to keep
him around uutil his arm got strong
and he had chance to show. Every
day while dressing for practice the
pitcher would entertain with songs
McAleer is a lover of music and rather
enjoyed the before the game concert
But each day when he asked about the
pitching arm his sunny disposition
would disappear. After about ten days
of stalling the young man entered the
clubhouse singing song that McAleer
disliked, and he insisted on singing the
same song again and again. The next
day he repeated the program. and it
began to get on McAleers nerves. In
the middle of the chorus the manager
stopped the song and said to the young
man:
rs there any song that you know
that you haven't warbled:"
The player admitted that he had moth
ing new to offer in the vocal line.
We'll, come to the park tomorrow
prepared TO pitch unless you have
something new to spring in the way
of songs" The pitcher decided to put
the muffier on his voice and try to
pitch. He did pitch two innings that
afternoon, and at in the evening was
on the train bound for the bush league
town he had played for the year pre-
vious. McAleer always insisted 1t was
fortunate that he ran out of new songs
or there is no telling how long he
might have carried him.

no better than even. On top of that
Mahan, also an assistant coach at Cali

"It is likely to rain. and on a wet
field the Oregon team will be more at
home than the Penn players, for
Bedzek's team has played nearly every
game in the rain. The Oregon play
ers are all the same size and one of
the greatest looking squads I have ever

and as big as the forwards. They are
much older than the college players in
