with. By the time he had bowed
hasty apologies to the fowl leg and
made his way to the saucer, Thomas
had lost Roadway ond the chance to
gain the lap was gone.
The big tank that had been built in
the center to receive the hurting
body and person of Daredevil
Scheyer, who yesterday rode down an
incline on a bicycle and then contin-
ued the rest of the journey through
space, has been finally plugged up so
that it will hold water. Scheyer built
the tank himself, but his caulking
was so anateurish that for two days
the tank wouldn't hold anything finer
than a bale of barbed wire. He made
his amazing leap for the first time
at $50. Heinie Zim looked up the
long Stat runway last night and cas-
ually remarked: IT'D have been
better man that Eddie Collins had I
chased him down that path"
When Scheyer struck" yesterday
he sent up a. tremendous shower of
water, drenchtng the track to such an
extent that the riders were compelled
to leave the boards until the saucer
had been mopped UP. 1t is impossi-

Both periods were full of excite
ment. In their effort to stop each
other both teams scored persistently
in the initial half So careful were
the guards that only one goal was
scored by each of the teams in the
hrst session. The ball was zigzagged
up and down the floor first by one
team and then by the other. The Pc
riod ended with the locals on the long
end of the score, 9-8
. Both sides went into the second Pc
r1ol in earnest and kept persistently
attacking the opposition The often
slve of the visitors was productive of
many thrilling plays, and they sue
ceeded in scoring two goals to the
locals one. In this period the Ribbons
ran up ten points as the result of the
visitors fouling. The Wilkes-Barre
men, on the other hand, Jared as well.
During the last few minutes of play
with the score 10 to II Swenson man
aged to grab the ball and before the
visitors could interfere dropped it
into the basket for the goal that
evened the game.
The whistle that brought the game
to an end was blown, but an agree
ment was made by the pilots to pIay
five extra minutes. The locals re-
newed their fight and this time took
the offensive. However, they were
too careless and two fouls were called
on them. Each went for a goal.

The National League will again take
up the new drafting scheme which
was offered by President Ebbets of
Brooklyn a few seasons ago. The
National League approved it last
season and sent it to the National
Commission, but the new draft was
opposed by President Ban johnson,
and the commission did not adopt it.
The scheme of the Brooklyn president
is to give the trailing club the first
choice of the draft, and the seventh
place club the second choice, and SO
on. This would give the weaker
clubs of the leagues a chance to
strengthen their clubs. Under the
present draft rule the leaders are as
liable to get the best players in the
draft as the weak clubs.

WINNER
IN STIFF. BATTLE

Wladek Zbyszko. the Polish wrestler.
last night won his second bout in
the international tournament In pro-
gress at the Lexington theatre. The
Polish stars victim in the second
nights performance Of the tourna-
ment was Fred Pilakoff, a Finlander,
veteran of scores of hard-mat bat
ties Pilakon showed his calibre last
might and gave Zbyszko worthy battle
for 20 minutes and ID seconds, when
he finally succumbed to reverse
body lock hold.
This match was to have been to a
finish, with the limit placed at two
and one-haf hours. and there seemed
for a time possibility that it would
drag along to the early hours of
morning. Zbyszko, showing greater
all-around ability than his adversary,
was the aggressor for the most part,
but the Finn showed some trick of his
own that were unexpected. The re-
suit was that several times the Poles
shoulders were dangerously near the
mat.
Once in particular, shortly before
the end of the match, Pilokom came
near triumph with a dangerous leg
grapevine and further Nelson, but
Zbyszko wriggled free of the hold.
1t was while he was trying to secure
an effective head hold that Pilakoff
went down, and the fall came unex-
pectedly. Zbyszko, apparently walk
ing into his rivals trap, quickly Sc
cured his reverse body hold. and toss
ing Pilakoff clear of the floor, hurled
him down for fall.
In the other finish match John FIRE.
berg, Swedish champion, fcored an
unexpected victory over erre LIE
Beige, Belgium, in 2S:10 with dou-
BILE leg hold.
Two of the elimination matches at
20 minutes limit each, resulted in
drawn bouts, while in the others the
victorious wrestlers were Demetrius
Tofaics over Ed Delivuk, and Steve
Savage over Alex Thomas.
The summarizes:
Preliminary matches, (20 minute
limit)-First bout-Demetrius To-
fa1cs, Greece, threw Ed De1ivuk, Aus

body and scissors hold. Second bout

HOUSE TO COACH
OHIO WESLEYAN

Shanty House, for the past two sea-
sons a member of the pitching staff
of the Bridgeport club, has been en-
gagged as assistant athletic director at
the Ohio Wesleyan University. House
has been assisting in coaching the
football eleven and probably will be
late in reporting to the Bridgeport
club, if he sticks to baseball next
season, as his new duties will keep
him busy into June. House acquired
most of his athletic knowledge at
the Springfield Y. M. c. A. College,
where he played on the baseball and
football teams, and should make
success of his new post.

One of the busiest men in baseball
is President Dunn of the Clevelands.
He's fishing around for nine good
players to replace the men taken from
his team by the draft. He's got big
wad, and he's ready to spend it, too,
for the right material.

who hoped to make their debut next
season in professional ball will have
to take it out on the Germans. Mean
while the draft is not going to deplete
the ranks Of players sufficiently to
make a great difference, and man

Japanese Long
Distance Man
Real Champion

New York. Dec. 5-That the Jap
anese long distance runner will be
formidable, opponent in future inter
national track and road races is amp
ly demonstrated by the details of the
latest marathon race held in the land
of the rising sun. he run which was
between Yokohama and a suburban
park over a twenty-five mile course
and the winner covered the full dis
lance in 2 hrs, 3Om., lis. OF the
thirty starters all but six finished the
race and the majority reached the
mark in good physical condition.
While this is not the best time
mad elm a Marathon race in Japan it
is a record for that distance. Dur
ing 1913 a Japanese runner ran the
full Marathon distance Of 26 miles
SS5 yards in Oh. 31m. 2Ss., in a trial
race held in. connection with early
preparation for the Olympic Games,
scheduled at that time to be staged at
Berlin in 1915. This time is better
than that made by any winner of
Marathon race held at Olympic
Games since the initial revival of this
classic track and field meet at Ath-
ems in 1895.
The record of 2.30.12 for the TWEEN
ty-f1ve miles is not equal to the best
time made in the Boston A. A. Mara
thon race, staged annually at Boston
since 1897. This contest is also run
over a twenty-five mile course and
the best time was made in 1912 when
M. J. Ryan, of the New York-Irish
American A. c. won in 2.21.18 1-5.
The speed in the japanese race, how
ever, is fully up to the average in the
Boston event and far ahead of the
record for the first American Mara
thon which was won in 325.53 3-5 at
New York in 1896.

Although the mile-a-minute boat
was considered more or less of a
dream until rfecent years this speed
has been surpassed in the past two
seasons in actual racing and now the
standard has been set at better than
seventy miles per hour The new
records, which were made in tests
against time, were clicked at Lake
George where late last month the
twenty eight foot hydroplane Whip
Po'-Will, owned by an officer of the
American Power Boat Association
covered a measured mile in 51.35s. OF
at an average of 70.15 miles per hour
Six one-nile dashes were made the

The University of Pennsylvania Ath-

the annual relay carnival next April
as usual and the final races will be
held the last Saturday Of that month
unless unforeseen events should cause
a change in the date. This track and
field meet, which has grown to be
the biggest intercollegiate athletic
contest of the year, has in recent sea-
sons been divided into a two-day
program but it Is uncertain at this
time whether that schedule will be
adhered to or the April races con-
fined to one day. Much will de-
pend upon the class and number of
entries received. If there is a loss
in college entrants the schoolboy ath-
letes will be featured.
