PLAN NEW FIELD
FOR P.R.R. TEAM
Secure Option on Field Near
Herr Street For Motive
Power Association

At meeting last night of the field
committee of the Motive Power Ath-
letic Association of the Pennsylvania
Railroad it was announced that an
option had been secured on field
adjoining the Hickok Manufacturing
Company, near Herr and Cameron
streets. If arrangements can be made
for a long term lease on this property,
it will be used as an athletic field.
The plot is said to be 400 feet in
width and 700 feet in length. G. II.
Andrus. master mechanic of the Phila-
delphia division, who is president of
the association, is also considering
other plots. 1t is the belief, however,
that the Herr street grounds will prove
advantageous. as they are in close
proximity to the railroad and to the
p. r. r. Y. NJ. c. a.
Plans for this years work will be
taken up next week by the association.
This season it is proposed to place a
champion baseball team in the field
and already a number of promising
players have been signed up. Last
summer the local Motive Power base
ball club lost out by a small margin.

Basketball Players Fight;

Special to the Telegraph

Philadelphia, Jan. 25.-Rivalry be-
tween the Camden and Jasper Eastern
League basketball teams reached such
a high pitch last night that the police
were called into the cage to prevent
what might have been a free-for-all.
Jasper won the game, rather easily,
but Camden fought back desperately,
the final count being "a to 81.
1t was a replay of the game that was
not played on January because
Jackie" Adams escorted his Camden
ties off the floor rather than play the
Jewels, who had "Bilr' Hummer in
their lineup. From the very start
the fans, hackers of the Jasper team,
booed the Camden players. The cli-
max to the rivalry was reached when
Friedman and a Camden player had
a run-in. To prevent the two teams
from exchanging blows. the police
stepped into the cage and held up the
contest five minutes.

Time Goes Backward on
This Left-Handed Watch
SfeciaI to the Telegraph

Kalamazoo, Mich, Jan. %. - f.
p. Foley, a local jeweler has made
the tabled reader obey that poetic
summons, Backward, turn backward,
O Time, in your flight" He has ac-
complished this seemingly impossible
thing by the simple eXpedient of in
venting a left-handed watch.
Instead of running from left to
right, as is the case with ordinary
timepieces Mr.. FoIeys watch sends its
hands around from right to left.
The watch was made because one of
the inventors daughters complained
that the left-handed person has such
a slim chance in life machinery,
street car doors and even the hands on
the clock going toward the right hand
as if to balk the person who hap
pened to be lefthanded.

Move to Baltimore; Plans
For Newark Deal

New York, Jan. 25.-At the con-
clusion of a meeting of the Interna-
uonal League Baseball Club owners
here yesterday, it was officially an
nounced that the Providence Club
had been purchased from Joseph j.
Lannin by William II. Draper, a
Providence businessman, for S3O,-
600. This amount is the purchase
price of the club and its players. and
does not include the grounds on
which the club will continue to play
Before leaving for Providence the
new owner of the club said that 20
years ago the Providence team be-
longed to him and he hoped that he
will be as successful with the new
venture as he was during his former
ownership.
President Barrow made the an
nouncement that the Richmond fran
chise would return with President
Jack Dunn to Baltimore, where it
originally belonged. The Harrisburg
franchise was transferred to Rich
mond and the Harrisburg players. as
well as the Jersey City Clubs play
ers, will be disposed of by the lea
que.
Jersey City to Newark
The affairs of the Jersey City club,
including the disposal of its fran
chise, have been entrusted to a COM
mittee, and if it is sold the leagues
intention is that the club shall be To-
Gated at Newark, n. j.
Although President Lannin, of the
Boston Americans, sold his Providence
interest. he will still continue his af-
filiation with the International Lea
que, as he has taken over most of the
minority stock of the Buffalo Club.
The next meeting of the league will
take place on February 8, and the
committee on the Jersey City clubs
affairs will then make it's report. The
leagues playing season will open on
April 26 and the schedule will call
for 140 games.
President Barrow said that he had
been notified by the National Com
mission that Charles IL. IIbbets, of
the Brooklyn National League Club,
had filed a claim against the Newark
franchise for s74,0 which Ebbets
claims to have loaned the Newark
organization. Mr.. Barrow stated that
he had replied to the National Com
mission to the effect that there was no
Newark franchise in existence.

Industrial Education here.
I'm an industrial community skill
is highly desirable, but skill without

HIGH SCORES CASINO LEAGUEMOVE POWER ASSOCIATION SEEK FIELD
WELIYs KdoRNER

Richmond will get the Harrisburg
franchise in the International League.
This was expected. 1t was the belief,
however, that a city would be picked
that would promise the crowds. Rich
mond may be a larger city than Har-
risburg, but in comparison of popula-
uons, has nothing on this burg" for
baseball crowds.
At last Edward G. Barrow, president
of the International League. has found
time to write a letter to Harrisburg.
He thanks the officials of the Pennsyl-
Nania Exhibition Company for their
hearty cooperation in helping the
league out last season; and said the
reason why Harrisburg was not con-
sidered was because of the city's popu-
lation.
Reading is looming up stronger each
day as a probable New York State
League city. 1t is understood that sew
eral prominent financial hackers in
that city have found a way to get the
much-needed grounds. In the mean
time Harrisburg promoters are keep
ing busy, and thus far have met with
much encouragemen
1t is understood that a call will be
made this year at Technical High
school for all students to come out
and take up one or more sports. DR..
c. B. Eager, Jr.. the principal, believes
that all students should train whether
they get into athletics or not. He be-
lieves that healthy exercise will not
only prove beneficial, but that some
promising athletes may be found, who
remain in the background because of
the fear that they will not make good.
The boxing game is increasing in
popularity throughout Pennsylvania.
Reading fans last night witnessed the
