PLAN TO REBUILD EASTERN LEAGUE
 PROVING POPULAR

Little doubt now remains in the minds of baseball fans throughout Connecticut that the International League has reached the end of it's rope, and the only question now re- maining is, How will the reorganiza- tion which is sure to follow, affect teams in this state?
 It is expected that there will be a meeting. shortly, of the owners of the Bridgeport, New Haven, Portland. Providence. Hartford, Springfield, New Bedford and Fall River teams. at which plans for the establishment of the circuit will be formulated.
 The scheme evolved by Jim Clarkin. of Hartford, for a new Eastern League to supplant the International, seems widely favored, and the idea is well liked in Jersey City, whose club is willing to enter if the plan carries.
 Clarkin's idea is that by the wind ing up of the International, many good players will be available for the Eastern League, and that with these men to be drawn from, Al teams can be picked and a brand of baseball given the local fans such as they have seldom enjoyed before.

Philadelphia, Dec. 14-An effort is being made at the University of Pennsylvania to continue football dur ing the entire month of December on an fntramura1 basis. The purpose of the plan, which was inaugurated by Coach Folwell, is to provide athletic training for a large number of men and to develop the football material which may be latent for next season. Major Pickering. head of the athletic organization, has approved of the proposal, which was made by Coach Golwell in the following letter to The
 NnnsyIvan1an:
 SNow that the Varsity football sea- son Is over, do not want 1t felt that football should end.

 The semi-final will be an eight round bout between Special Delivery McNally and "Porky'' Leahy. These boys are bitter rivals and a knockout is looked for with either boy on the receiving end.

IDLE LAND, IDLE CHILDREN AND
TIRED" FOLKS.

Here are a few significant facts
and figures worked out from authen-
tic sources:
There are in the United States
about 12 million boys and girls be-
tween the ages of nine and twenty
one years of age, in the schools of the
country. These young folks are idle
more than half of the time. They
are out of school about four thous-
and hours each year Count the num-
ber of hours in a year, subtract the
number of school hours of the year,
allow ten hours day for sleep, and
the astonishing fact appears, that
here are IL million of capable folks
who have to be supported, who are
idle each one on an average of more
than nine hours day. Add several
thousands, perhaps hundreds of
thousands of "tired" people, born SO
and old people unable to perform
daily hard labor and it will be seen
that vast army, larger than an Eu.
sopsan army, are idle nine or ter
