NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Perhaps one
Of the reasons for the strike talk iP
the fact that the new contracts sea-
to the players by the major 'leasuc
magnates cover a period OF one year
with option clauses and ten-day re-

The club owners were forced a.

because of the fight with the Federal
League. But the behavior Of some -

employers for three consecutive sea

The maKnates and managers in

tracts made certain high salaried
players Indifferent and unruly. Feel
ing sure of their salaries, these men
did not extend themselves. They re,
garded baseball as a secondary con
sideratLOn, and thought more about
automobile driving and tango teas
than their duties on the field. For
that reason the new one-year contract

It is believed that the players wiz

energy on the diamond in order to-
obtain good salaries the following

recent years, while the managers will
more easily enforce the rules of dis

TECH TAKES LEAD
In SCHOOL LEAGUE
Manual Trainers Win, While
Business Loses to Gen.
trails Five.

BY virtue of 16-to-9 win over East
ern and Centrars triumph by % to 81
over Central in two extra periods.
Tech jumped into the lead in the high
school basketball and today stands
an excellent chance of eventually
landing the title.
One OF the largest crowds that ever
looked on at scholastic basketball
games saw Central come from behind,
drawn up on even terms with Busi-
ness and finally win in extra time.
CentraTs win was well deserved.
Business should have won in the
first half. The score stood 15 to s
when half time was calIeed and Busi-
ess had demonstrated superiority in
every department of the game. Buck
Wise was reported i'll and Mike
Raedy was substituted at the eleventh
hour.
Misses Many Chances.
Business missed many chances at
goals from the floor. Had the Stem
ographers landed half their attempts
the score would have precluded any
possibility of a win for Central. The
second half found a rejuvenated Gen.
trail team which fathomed the Bust
ness attack.
Daley. of Central. got going in the
second half. and put his team in the
running. Kaplan and Long played
rings around Raedy AMI Ralph Wise,
and when GIsssner was removed on
account OF personal fouls Central
came forward with a rush.
Lost Opportunity.
The score stood II all at the con-
clusion of the game, Daley having
missed a free tfoss that would have
landed the battle. Both Ralph Wise
and Daley had three chances to land
the game in the first extra period on
free tosses. The score stood 10 all
and in the extra period Daley and
Soloman counted. Raedy shot one
for Business, and with both teams
getting two from the free throw
line, Central finally landed.
Business failed to record a goal In
the second half so closely were
Raedy and Wise guarded. Central
made the most of its attack, and
when Glessner was gone drew up
on even terms and a final win.
Tech Disappoints.
Techs. 16 to victory over East
ern was somewhat disappointing. The
Manual Trainers were expected to
run rings around the Fasteners.
Coach McCaffrey's youngsters out
passed Techs players, who plainly
showed the effects of too much play
during the week.
Neither CatIin nor Tabb, Techs
scoring was up to snuff. On free
tosses both teams were away off
and Techs inability to shoot from
the floor was noticeable ID view OF
the fact that the players had rolled
up better than thirty points in each
of the previous games.
Play on Tuesday.
The first half of the schedule will
be completed on Tuesday. Central
and Western will play while Tech
and Business are on for an engage
ment. Tech asked to shove the date
up in order to make a trip to Mar
tinsburgh on Friday next.
The loss of Buck Wise proved too
much of an handicap for Business
yesterday, and unless the veteran
plays on Tuesday the Stenographers
are doomed for a licking.

KING MAKES RECORD
Friends Select School Crack Estab.
fishes Basket Shooting Mark.

Bob King, Friends Select School
crack, made a basket shooting record
yesterday in the engagement with St.

by 81 to II. and King dropped 10
shots through the netting.
The previous record was held ky
Lester Peine, of Western, who shot
IL goals from the floor last year
against Alexandria. Peine holds the
league record of Ii baskets, having
made that mark twice.

feat Of the Friends players was the
defeat of Business on the Friends
floor.

Sporting Gossip

heroic he seems to be.

heroic he seems to be.
Every time a player returns an un-
signed contract, he is at once hailed
as "a holdout" This S unfair to
players seeking more money in a
purely legitimate manner. Not a win
ter passes but that clubs have
correspondence back and forth with
players who believe themselves en-
titled to more money than offered at
first. A holdout is a player who re-
fuses to sign a contract before Or
dered to report for training. Before
it was customary to require sigma
! lures before entering into training at
the clubs expenses, no player was a
holdout until the season started. Now
he becomes one il not in line when
the training season opens around
March /.

public about as much as one by the

Is considering taking $1,000 for a
battle with Freddie Welsh, the light

willing to let Welsh weigh l35

more of those rapid leaps that at

they're champions. Here and there
you'll find Willie Jackson, but only
here and there.

Six OF the Chicago Cubs, hoId-overs
