This vice-scarred woman went TO the

Dreyfuss Has New Scheme;
Club Limit Five Pitchers

Pittsburgh, Feb. II. - President
Barney Dreyfuss, of the Pittsburgh
Pirates. is going to the schedule meet
ing of the National League next week
with a brand new suggestion to in
crease batting, which is. i'm a way,
along the line OF his well-kncwn pol
icy of holding a team membership
down to the lowest ebb. Said he, to-
day
They want increased batting, and
I am going to suggest to the league
directors that we make a stringent
rule forbidding any club from carry
ing more than five pitchers. That will
stop q manager from sticking in sew
eral pitchers in one game where Op-
posing hatsmen have their batting
eyes peeled. a team leader isn't go-
ing to use up his best pitchers every
day, and therefore win be obliged to
keep his twirler in even when he is
getting a lacing. That will increase
batting without n very radical change
in the rules; in,fact, no change at all
in the playing ru4es.'

HIGH SCHOOLS TO
HAVE BUSY WEEK
Reading Plays Two Games,
One With Central Tossers;
League Stars

Every member in the Central Penn
sylvania Basketball League circuit will
set into action during the coming
week. Reading team has two contests
scheduled. The bin Of fare for the
circuit includes: Friday night Read
ing at Central; Lebanon at York:
Steelton at Tech; Saturday, Reading
at Steelton.
This week VIII be the first time this
season that all teams in league games
have been closely punched. The re-
suits are likely to change the stand
ing of every one of the six contestants
Most important on the list is the
visit of the Reading aggregation to
this city to meet Central. The Blue
and Gray boys have yet to lose n
game, and to land the victory will
mean undisputed possession OF first
place for some time to come. To lose
would likely displace the local lads.
Two Games For Stcciton.
Coach GuHney's lads are also
scheduled for contests on two ocCa-
sions. Friday night they will oppose
the Teen team on the ArmOry floor,
and as they are evenly matched, n
EoOd game should result. 1T viii be
an opportunity for the Maroon to get
out OF the cellar position. Lebanon
Will have its hands fun because of the
game scheduled for the York floor
The White Roses have shown marked
improvement in their work with each
game, ana their team play reached a
climax Friday night when they COM
PEELED the Central team to go an eN-
ira period to defeat them.
As the situation stands, every one Of
the teams in the league can better
their standing through the weeks
play-uOt including Central. The
Blue and Cray players seem to he
gaining in team work. and improve
with each contest. The Improvement
seems to he steady.
Few Changes i'm Standing
But few changes took place in the
standing during the past week be-
cause of the Tech-Reading and Cen
trail Y ork games. Frank jumped TO
second place in the averages per
sames. in his three CRANES he has
Tailed 4a times from the 15-fCot
mark. This gives him an average OF
over 13 per game. In field tosses he
has averaged exactly one per game.
Harris of Tech dropped from fourth to
fifth place as q result of poor foul
shooting at Reading. His average
dropped accordingly.
The eight leaders i'm respect to aver
age points per game are as follows:
Moore, Lebanon, 115 points in six
games. Frank, Central, is points in
three games. NyqUist, Reading, "a

Chicago, Ill, Feb. II. - Les Darcy,

been showing theatrically in Chicago
for a week, and his encourage, which
includes Freddie Gilmore, left to-day
for New York, where Darcy will start
training for his $50, 600 bout with Al

from Kangarooland has found the
stage stuff not the soft picking he eX-
pected, and when he finished his fare
well performance ait the Haymarket

Darcy's tour included several one
night stands, which do not help to
keep the athlete in condition,
and he declares he will be glad when
he has located a training camp. For
the first time in his life the Austral
ian star kept late hours, and this
caused him to switch from eating
three meals n day to two. He says
stage work is harder than training.
Darcy wants a quiet place to train,
and probably will select a spot on the

of time to get in shape to battle Nc

tion, it is easy to understand by talk
ing with him that he believes. he will

tramp room in the City Hall in
Bloomington to find himself heir to
farm valued at $4,000 through the
bequest OF an uncles hes returned to
his former home here to claim his
fortune
Left an orphan at the age Of
twelve, Cheatham took up the life of
a nomad, travelling from State to

trying to find solace for his grief. In
his wanderings he has visited every
State in the Union, as wen as many
foreign countries, including practically
all those in Europe and Australia.
He speaks seven languages and knows
q smattering OF Chinese and Jap
anese.
Cheatham recently drifted into
Bloomington and sought a place to
sleep in the tramp room of the City
Hail. A rule OF the city prison re-
quiues every Iodger to give his name
and address. Cheatham replied to the
questions of the sergeant truthfully,
and then went below to- the quarters
of the hobos.
. When Cheatham emerged from the
tramp room to claim his knife, razor
and other small possessions he was
shown a letter saying that he was
heir to a $4,000 estate He was daz-
ed over the good news, but said he
was the man for whom the communi-
cation was intended. %
Cheatham boasts that in all his
Wonderings, extending over a period
of twenty-three years, he has not
spent a doliar for railroad ticket.

DISCLOSURES TO
COME THIS WEEK
Garry Hermann Is Ready to
Turn Fraternity Upside
Down;

New York, Feb. u. - The opening
skirmish of tie 1917 baseball season
will be witnessed in New York and
environs this week, for the schedule
meetings of the major and big minor
leagues are usually looked upon as
the first official move in that direc-
ton.
The schedule meetings of the Ma
tional and American Leagues this
spring bear an unusual significance
because of the threatened strike on
the part of the players and proximity
OF the general mobilization in the
Southern training camps. There is,
moreover, the possibility of this coup-
trys participation in war with a Eu-
ropean Power. Each and all of the
many new contingencies may or may
not have some direct bearing on the
future policies OF the conduct of this
great summer. sport.
If the word OF August Hermann,
chairman of the National Commission,
is to be relied upon, certain strange
and startling disclosures on the side
may be expected. Hermann declares
that the fraternity propasanQa of
David l.. Fult2 and his lieutenants has
failed. He says tie meetings here viii
prove it and that when the case Is
-
evidence to SHOW that the whole pro-
posed strike was trumped up with The
view of maintaining war time salaries.
Players Under Contract
1 have been i'm communication with
Messrs. !. *. Tener and B. b. John
son. my fellow commissioners de-
clared Mr.. Hermann to-day, and L
know that enough players are now
under contract to both major leagues
TO make a huge joke of any attempted
strike. Tie strike, therefore, is dead;
but that does not mean that it will be
allowed to rest in peace
Hermann is of the opinion that the
major leagues will show the strength
OF their hands not only in eligible
players, but i'm policy as Wen, on this
occasion. The schedule meetings will
fall just one week before the Cubs
departure for Pasadena, Cal A firm
stand on policy. therefore, would turn
TO the advantage of those club owners
wLo have planned for an early start.
Among these arc those I'm control OF
the Giants and Yankees. The Hfst
squads OF these teams will head south
a week from Saturday.
Aside from the near trouble with
players the two major leagues have
an unusual lot of business to keep
their minds occupied for several days.
