CAMDEN opens the third week at the
~ head Of the Eastern Basketball League
With tho slight margin OF one game, four
other teams--.Iasper, De Neri. Greystock
and Reading-beng tied with two won and
two lost. Trenton Is in last place, having
landed but one clash in four starts.
II was home week for all the contest
ants, each capturing the home attraction
and by goodly scores in every instance but
one and that was at Reading on Saturday,
when the Bears Just emerged q winner, "a
80, over Camden. The Skeeters had Just
been away on trip and had lost the pre-
vious evening to Carbondale by a big score
the State Leaguers dropping twenty-siX
field goals through the net.
GreystoclI and Jasper managed to win
one, but the most gratifying news of the
week, from local standpoint, was the fine
showing of the reconstructed De Neris
against Trenton. Every man on Myers'5
payroll played sterling ball.
New Men Star
The newcomers, Norman and Dreyfus,
gave their best exhibition since joining the
Eastern League while the work of Barlow
and Bill Dark was entitled to praseworthy
comment. The Musical Fund Hall crowd
played steady game at all times and their
exhibition of passing in the closing five
minutes when victory was apparent had
the crowd cheering wildly.
Manager Myers may add another man TO
his payroll, making seven all told. as he has
granted Joe Cavanaugh his unconditional
release
Speaking of Rough Basketball
Despite the desire of cage managers TO
eliminate roughness from the sport it Is evil
dent that the play in the Eastern League
has been rougher than at any time since
the inception of the organization.
The Jasper-Greystock affair on Friday
night has been the subject of considerable
comment, and at a tanning bee at Musical
Fund Hall all sorts of suggestions were
advanced to curb the players After an
hours discussion 1t was unanimously agreed
that no official can control the men If they
want to rough 1t up when grudge exists.

RACE PARK DESTROYED
Fire Wipes Out Fixtures At Essex
Course.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, April 1.-The
new grandstand. the judges stand,
and the press box at Essex Park were
completely wiped out yesterday by
the fire which started from a de-
fective wire.
The fire. was discovered shortly
after 10 o'clock and a few minutes
later the grandstand, which was the
largest of its kind in the South. was
in flames. The force of men on hand
exerted their energies in saving the
thoroughbreds that were stabbed at
the track.
In consequence, there was no one
left to fight the flames, and in less
than an hour the big structure was q
mass of smoldering ruins. The loss
to the Essex Jockey Club is estimated
at about $4,000. which Is partly COW
cred by insurance.
The races yesterday were postponed
until Monday, when the remainder Of
the meet will be run or on the Oak
lawn course under the direction of the
Business Mems League.
This Is the first time in twelve years
that a race meeting has been sched-
uled at the Essex Park track. Only
one days racing OF the allotted two
weeks meeting was held.

MAMAUX SHOULD
SHINE THIS YEAR
Pirate Pitcher Intends. to Settle
Down and Do Big
Things.

None Of us know how we are go-
ing to go, but IL effort plays an i'm
portant role in my baseball success
next season I'm due to have a big
year, for 1 surely am going to work
hard at all times for Mr.. Dreyfuss
and Manager Callahan"
In this manner does Prince Al of
Dormont unfold himself to the host
of rooters who look toward him as
the pivot on which will swing much
of the future success OF the Pitts
burgh baseball club.
1t may be that Dreyfuss and Gala
han have recently lifted the heavy
fine which fell to Mamaux on the
event OF his suspension without pay
last summer. Fans will recall that
the warbling pitcher was assessed
ten days pay for his insistence in
breaking training rules. Ten days
pay might not seem a great deal in
words, but in this particular case II
meant about $500.
81 felt that was not treated ex.
actly right last summer" said the
star slabman, "but feel entirely diff
ferent about It now, and have prom
ised myself that Pittsburgh will get
the best that's in me from now on"
II MamauX holds himself to this
pledge 1t will mean much to Calla-
han.
