'. M. [. A. LEAGUE
 SET IN MOTION
Four Teams Deliver Excellent
 Brand Of Basketball

The Saturday Night Baseball league opened at the Y. M. c. A. last Satur- day evening in a blaze of glory, a crowd that taxed every availab1e space of room being in attendancs when the first game started. If the brand of basketball as dispensed in the games is to be accepted as @ cri- terion of the form to be displayed during the season success should crown the league efforts. Referee Slater handled the games in his usual clever manner, and much of the ob-s jectionable delays between plays, nec-S essitated oh account of out of boundsl play were missing. The ball was al- N ways in motion and it was a hustle { all the time by players whether in- side or outside bounds to recover it, making the playing very fast.
 The lid of the season was pried off with the Wentworth and Viking clubs as the contenders. The Kenil worth team easily excelled their op- ponents, winning 31 to 20. Durinas the first half the victors took matterag rather easy and the Swedes ran neck and neck with them, the first halfa ending with the score 13 to II in3 favor of the Wentworth club. Billy Kopf made his appearance with the victors in the second half and his clever playing soon put the Vikingsi to rout. Schade was also a tower of strength to the winners. J. Adrian Martin at guard kept the Vikings forrl wards well covered at all times Tho score and summary: /

 Boston, Jan. 8.-John J. Barry, captain of the worlds champion Bos- ton American league baseball team, has signed 8 contract for the coming season. It is understood that this term was his own choice, President H. H. Frazee having offered him his op- tion up to three years. The salary which Barry will receive was not an nounced.

 Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 6.-Ivan Olsen, shortstop last season with the Brooklyn Nationals, was named Sat urday night as the choice of the man. agement of the Vernon club of the Pa cific Coast league for manager of that club for 1917. Thomas Darmndy, new owner of the Vernon franchise said that Charles B. Ebbets, owner of the Brooklyn team, had not finally agreed to release Olson, but was expected to do so. Olson will take charge of the team at once if released.

 Percy Haughton and a number of others have the proper idea about baseball attack and defense. The de- fensc has undoubtedly mastered the trade This prevalence of the defense is the one weakness in the playing section of the game, for hard hitting not only makes for a more spectacular attack but also for a more spectacular defense in the field. The pitcher to- day has entirely too much the best of it. The crowd at large esteems the base hit as the most succulent dish in the game and something should be done to bring about it's revival before it becomes entirely extinct

The Record Coincidence.

What is the worlds record coin cidence in sport? In our opinion, Colonel William E. Hanna, golfer, tourist and scribe, has discovered the answer. The story in question-and it is a true onc-is built around Fred Poole. Poole is the old Yale catcher in the days of Stagg. whom Poole handled back of the bat. The Yale star used to play golf on the Allston course. in Boston, now the nome of the Braves Colonel Hanna played tho same course, which is neither here nor there, except show how talent will at times concentrate.
 Poole on a certain occasion, coming to,a 15oyard hole at Allston, dropped ,be hall into the cup for 1. A trlhe later. playing the course with friend bo came to the same hole. It is need less to say that Poole narrated the incident of his first holing out rom tho tee in one shot. Having finished inc narration, the two golfers played from the tee and Poole duplicated his 1.

Booze Carriers Convicted.


Frank Patterson, colored, was tried be-
fore Justice H. V. Sheetz in Charles
Town last week and found guilty Of
carrying more than one quart OF liquor
from one place TO another in West Viz
ginia. An interesting question was raised
by H. H. Mccormick, attorney for the
defendant, in this case. The evidence
submitted to the court showed that Pat
terson had transported the liquor from the
Snowden house to his own residence.
Attorney Mccormick raised the point
that this was not moving liquor from one
place TO another within the meaning Of
the statute. After mature consideration
the Justice amended the contention and
found Patterson guilty, and sentenced
him to four months in Jail and four hun
bred dollars fine and costs.
John Porter, colored, was also tried
before Justice Sheetz on the same charge
of carrying too much liquor from one
point to another within the State. The
claim was made by his attorney, {. N.
Campbell, that he was carrying the liquor
from West Virginia TO Maryland when
stopped, Porter testifying that he was on
his way TO Maryland from Martinsourg
when he got off the midnight N. & W.
train at Charles Town, and was not
amendabIe to the West Virginia laws.
Afterdue consideration the justice amend
ed the contention and sentenced Porter
TO sixty days in jail and to pay line oil
one hundred dollars and costs.
