BANISHMENT OF HENRY
is DOUBTED BY MACK
Releasing of Player Is a Club Matter,
Says Athletics
Manager

When Connie Mack was informed of
President Johnson's declaration against
Catcher Henry, of Washington, last night,
he said he could hardly credit the truth of
the report.
President Johnson may have some in
formation against Henry that we know
nothing about and has the right to say that
there Is no room in the American League
for player who works against the best in
terests OF the league; but the releasing of
a player is a club matter entirely. As to
as the clubs of the league contributing a
sum Of money to the Washington club TO
pay for Henry's release, that is out of the
question, and l would not do any such
thing
Henry the veteran catcher of the Sena-
tors. faces the possibility of being driven
out of the American League as punishment
for urging members of the Baseball Players
Fraternity to strike, according to a report
from Chicago.

This was the assertion of Grant Hugh

malls from Tom Jones, Wizards manager.
made today i'm Chicago that the match is
closed.
Articles for this match do not have
to be closed on the spur of the moment
to make it 60" said Browne. "I am con-
fldent that nothing will stand in the way
of it when the time comes"
The only hitch in the making of the
match, according to Browne. would be Full
toms defeat by Charley Weinert, whom
he meets here Monday night. Browne ex-
poets Fulton to win. and he declares that
Wizards handlers will agree to terms when
the articles of agreement are ready. He
refused to say what lie has offered Willard

GREYS NOW HAVE
FULL. GAME LEAD
Camden Falls Back When
Churchmen Win Read
ing Meets De Neri
BEARS PERFORMING WELL
TONIGHT'S SCHEDULE
Reading at DE Neri.

Reading at DE Ner.
The battle for supreme honor In the sec.
Ond half Of the Eastern Basketball League
race promises to be the most keenly fought
in the history Of that organization The
Greys have increased their advantage to
full game and dropped the Skeeters to a 500
mark. but Jasper and Reading are not far
behind the Churchmen and may go ahead
shortly.
Tonight at Musical Fund Hall, Eighth
and Locust streets, tho Reading Bears play
De Neri. The Bucks County cage artists
defeated Myers's Mysteries earlier In the
week at Reading, but the figures in that
clash failed miseraby to tell the true story
of the contest, as the locals had all sorts Of
hard luck and the breaks were with the
Pretzels. But to the credit of Andy Sears
and his crowd il must be admitted they are
playing nice basketball They are going so
well that a victory over De Neri will cause
Jasper and Reading to be tied for second
place.
De Nerl Is performing in anything but tall
end style, and has dropped the last two
home clashes by several points after clearly
outplaying opponents. Manager Myers says
there is certain to be a turn in affairs and
anticipates win this evening. Stretch"
Harvey, the elongated pivot will be on
hand He has not been playing SO well as
in his first few games but was i'm bad
tall one promises to show his real ability.
There will be the usual preliminary.
After trailing along in the rear of Grey
stock last night at Cooper Hall. Camden
provided the most sensational finish Of the
season. with only six minutes to play
and the home crowd ahead at 3S to 81 the
Skeeters started off on one OF their famous
shooting expeditions, They carry the thing
so far that with twenty-five seconds to go
the visitors were just two points shy og
tying the totals.
And then the ball was put up at centre
and in the remaining seconds the Shelters
had all kinds OF chances to count. Steele,
Brown and Dolan missed shots directly be-
meath the net.
The features of the evenings session were
the goal shooting OF Ray Cross and the
basketballing OF Jack Adams and Neil
Delghan. IL any one can tell us when
Adams ever scored three goals on McWil-
liams al Cooper Hall the information will
be gladly received.
The goals from the field were even at
thirteen, and went to Cross, six ; Sugarman.
four; MoWlliams. two; Laurence and
Adams, three Deighan. four, Steele. three :;
Brown. two. and Dol!n, one. The fouls
were: Fogarty. fifteen out of seventeen,
and Adams. thirteen out Of eighteen.

0NF WHAT use" asks an editorial light.
" could Mexico be to the United
States :" Here is one ideal use. requiring
not even the essence of temporal considera-
ton. Suppose at the end Of each baseball
season every major and minor league
player and club owner was sent into the
most intricate part of Mexico TO remain
therein until the middle OF April? Suppose
all this winter chatter about strikes, salary
cuts hodouts and the rest of 1t, was hurled
broadcast upon the Mexican air, there to
scatter and fade out? wouldn't this make
a war of conquest worth while? Mexico,
under these conditions, would be more
