velopment of Phil Kaufman, the giant

on Saturday. for awhile, and will be
pushed to hard work this week. Hal
sey, another substitute tackle will be
given personal attention and scrim-
mage work this week.
The afternoon work yesterday was
spent in a long dummy scrimmage.
Neither Ames nor Eddy was on the
field. In their stead Harold Comey
worked out at quarterback on the var
sity Comey is coming right along and
with his kicking ability will step in to
fill the gap Immediately should either
of the leading candidates be injured

remainder of the backfeld Highley
and Wilson were at the ends, and in the

For Opening Cage Battle

The Independents are fast rounding
into shape. With less than a. week
lelt pe1ore the basketball season opens
at Chestnut Street Auditorium. the In
dependents have been holding almost
daily practices. With Shamokin as its
opponent for the opening game the
Independents realize they will have to
travel fast to open with victory. The
coal region boys have already opened
their season and will come to Harris
burg confident of carrying home a VIC
tory. The Independents will have one
great advantage on most teams here
this season, for they have a center who
stands feet inches in his stocking
feet. Paul Gerdes, former High
School star and late of the University
of Chicago, is the one who will jump
the center position. Captain McCord
has called for practice each afternoon
of this week at the Auditorium.

baseball from year to year sees strange
changes. and there will be thousands
of Philadelphia fans who will learn
with regret that Connie Mack is about
to sever his connection with local
baseball after fifteen years domination
of the Athletics.
Up Boston way savants of the Inner
Know are whispering to each other
the name of the new pilot who will
take Bill Carrigan's place at the helm
of the twice world champions. Not
Jack Barry, they say, but the man
who first introduced Jack to the base

Mack's so per cent. holdings. He
would want a controlling interest,
which would mean that the Shibes
will either sell out entirely or sur
render enough stock to give johnson
the controlling interest.
Ira Thomas is stated to manage the
Binghamton team in the New York
State League next year, so the stove
ieaguers state, and with him will go
some of the team Mack has been
building.
Harry Davis, Manager
Harry Davis is the man most likely
to succeed Connie as manager of the
AS. and although the present moment
does not find him with much real big
league material. doubtless Ban John
sons mastery manipulating skill will
deal him high hand from the bottom
of the deck in order that the new pro-
prietor will be able to put on a good
show for local patrons his first year.
Davis is the logical man for the job,
though Eddie Collins might be brought
back from Chicago. Barry is too
popular at the Hub to be returned
here, and neither Lajoie. Strunk nor
Mclnnes shape up so prominently as
does Davis for the post.
Johnson is perhaps the richest man
connected with organized baseball, his
wealth running far into the millions.
His plant is located at Johnson, a
miniature city adjoining Binghamton,
