New York Baseball Will
Be Under New Clock Time

New York, March 20.-This city
will take it's baseball, under the day
light saving law, according to the
new clock time. The sun will be
ignored by both National League
clubs in announcing the starting time
of games. The Yankees, while no
decision has been reached, are eX-
pected to fall in line with the other
clubs.
Where games started last sum-
mer at $40 o'clock. they will start
next summer at the same time by
the clock. The decision of the Giants
is absolute, according to Harry
Hampstead, president of the club.
The Dodgers decision is subject to
change if patrons of that club can
best be served by sticking to. present
sun time.
Baseball is facing one of the queer
est problems 1t ever has been called
on to face. On what major league
magnates decide probably depends
the decision of many amusements.
New York club, owners feel that by
following out the intention of the
bill. and finishing the days work
with an hour of added daylight. they
will be adding an hour of recreation
to the patrons time.

STUDENTS FAVOR
CAGE CIRCUIT
West Shore Schools Enthusi-
astic Over Prospects For
Basketball Series

Students and officials in all West
Shore schools, heartily favor the
West Shore High school basketball
league, suggested by Prof. Fred V.
Rockey, principal of the Camp Hill
institution.
In West Fairview and Wormleys-
burg, the boys of the schools have
taken rigid measures to get a small
amount of knowledge of the game.
In the former town, the boys prac-
tice in room about twenty feet
square, but they are getting along
nicely, and if they would have an
adequate floor on which to practice
would likely surprise teams in other
towns.
Practice Out Doors
Wormleysburg boys have become
so enthusiastic over basketball, that
they have taken to the out-of-door
plan in order to get some practice.
Two goals have been erected on the
school campus, and the boys have
been working hard, when the wea-
ther will permit.
Auditorums in which to play and
practice are holding up the teams.
In both towns this essential is lack
ing. School officials are seeking the
support of residents with the hope
that some means can be supplied
by which halls can be secured until
next season.

Alexander Signs Contract;

Pasadena, Cal, March 20.-Gro-
Yer Cleveland Alexander, the Phila-
delphia pitcher who has been hold
ing out for a bonus of $4,000 from
the Chicago National League team,
signed his contract here. The terms
were not given.
Manager Fred Mitchell. Walter
Craighead. business manager, and
William Wrigley, Jr., director of
the club, held a conference with
Alexander yesterday, and then an
nounced that he had signed. No in
.timation was given out as to wheth-
er he received the sum he had de-
manded or whether a compromise
had been reached.
Alexander announced several
weeks ago that he would demand
$4,000 for signing which sum he
said he believed was a fair bonus
to be paid him for the reported pur-
chase price of $4,000 said to have
been paid to the Philadelphia Ma
tionals for him and his catcher, Will
liam Killefer. The club management
said it could not pay this sum, and
although Alexander joined the Cubs
on the trip to Pasadena he has taken
no part in the training and has not
been out in uniform.
Z Alexander will take part in o. prac-
tice game with the Cubs at San
Diego to-day.

Philadelphia, March 20.-Louis j.

vania's football team, yesterday en-
tered the Norfolk Navy Training
Station team in the medley relap and
the one mile relay for soldiers and
sailors at Pennsylvania's relay car
nival, April 26 and 81. Young is
athletic director at the Norfolk sta
ton. Each day brings further evil
dence that the military and naval
events at the carnival will be more
interesting. They will in many re-
spects be real championship con-
tests, as some of the best teams in
tho country will take part. These
contests will bring out some of the
greatest college and club athletes in
the country. Camp Dix, the Phila-
delphia Navy Yard and the Univer-
sity r. OF. c., have already prom
ised to enter teams, while several
other naval and military camps have
written asking for information about
the events.
Eight of these events are on the
program and all of them will be held
on Friday with the exception of the
one-mile relay which will take place
on Saturday. Friday with the excep-
ton of the one-mile addition the
the sprint medley and
the distance medley relay champion
ships and n host of local college and

Grover Cleveland Alexander has

All glory to Tech. Last nights
victory at York put the Maroons
within reach of the seasons cham
pionship. II these stars play the
same game that has made them
prominenP all season, when Central
lines up Friday, the flag is sure to
ccme to Harrisburg this year.
The worst that can happen will be
tieup. That is, providing Central
wins Friday night and Lebanon wins
over Allentown. An extra series
would then be necessary.
Indications are that York and Al
lentown will be the only teams not
completing their schedule. All games
must be played this week unless the
officials decide otherwise.
Now Jess Willard is baking on
going to New Orleans. Perhaps he
is camouhaging in order to get a
larger offer. There is no telling
what is back of his kick this time.

Major Managers Are
Protesting Trips to
Hot Springs Resort

New York, March 20.-Several
National League clubs have register
ed protest against the action of the
Giants, Brooklyn and Boston Braves
in sending some of their pitchers
and catchers to Hot Springs before
the thirty-day training limit set by
the league. Although President
Tener has stated that this action did
not violate the rule, the other clubs
object, because it gives the three
clubs named a decided advantage in
getting their veteran pitchers in
shape before the veterans on the
other clubs.
When the National League passed
the rule last. winter limiting the
training season to thirty days, it was
to place all clubs on an equal footing
and prevent the more prosperous
clubs from getting the ump on their
rivals by more elaborate training
plans. The clubs mentioned found a
way around the new rule by order
ing the players to go to Hot Springs
at their own expense, presumably
not to practice baseball, but just to
take baths and go through q course
of physical training, such as walk
ing and baseball. While at Hot
Springs, however, most of the play
ers found time to get in a little base
ball practice and timber up their
throwing aBms.
Protest Is Filed
Manager Jack Hendricks, who Is
making his debut as a major league
manager with the st. Louis Cardin-
ais, has filed a protest against the
clubs which have deliberately beaten
the rule. Hendricks says: "The rule
was made to give all the clubs an
equal chance to get into conditions.
So far as 1 know, all the western
clubs in the National League are
respecting it. But New York, as
usual, evidently feels it can do as it

Rivals Working Hard
For Final Contest;
Central Meets Tech

Basketball fans of this city will
get their last opportunity to see
Tech and Central clash in a basket
ball match when the two. local high
schools meet in their final cage event
at Chestnut Street Auditorium. 1t
will be the last game of the season
for both teams.
These teams met two weeks ago.
Tech won from Central, SO to 80.
Since then Central has reorganized
its team by switching Art Fields to
forward. Rodgers has taken his
place at guard. The change strength
ems the Central lineup considerably,
as the team was very weak at the
offensive part of the game. Fields
has rapidly developed into a clever
tosser.
Tech is anxious to win for several
reasons. In the first place. a victory
over Central will mean the Central
Pennsylvania pennant for the Ma
room. And then both quintets are
anxious to land the final game be-
tween the two institutions.
One Leg on Trophy
Tech has one leg on the Diener
trophy, and will have to grab this
contest to win permanent possession
of the gift. Should Tech win, it will
mean an extra series with Lebanon
to decide the league series. and then
another game will have to be play ed
with Central to decide the possession
of the Diener trophy, which requires
the best out of three games. So
Tech will take no chances, but will
send its best team into the lineup.
Central has been erratic. At times
it has showed championship caliber,
and then again very poor form has
been displayed. The forward posi-
tions have been the one big draw

pleases. Brooklyn also seems to feel
the same way.
''If 1 had known the rule was
made to be violated" continued Hen
bricks, 81 would have had the Car
dinals out of st. Louis and down at
San Antonio some time ago. The
Cardinals, more than any other club,
need plenty of time to train, since
we must play a regular series with
the Browns, beginning April g."
Hendricks points out that there is
no loophole in the rule which would
enable the Giants and Dodgers to
send their battery men ahead of the
regular squad. He believes some
action should be taken against the
offending clubs.
Barney Dreyfuss Also Kicks.
Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the
Pittsburgh club, also has protested
against the action,of the Giants and
Dodgers in sending their pitchers to
Hot Springs. The Pirate owner is
emphatic in his charge that the
Giants, Braves and Dodgers have all
violated the rule limiting the train
ing season to thirty days. and have
done this much to the disadvantage
of other clubs.
"hOh thS ciahto anu ITdNeS put
forth the explanation that the bat
terry men were not sent ahead to en-
gage in baseball practice, but simply
to condition themselves by cure"
methods, Dreyfuss says that this is
sophistry in it's grossest form. He
asks If any one believes that the Bos-
ton and New York pitchers will not
engage in "warm-up" practice. He
also asks If any one is so simple as
to believe that Heinie Zimmerman,
Tesreau and the other Giants did not
touch baseball while they were at
Hot Springs. Dreyfuss also asks If
any one believes that all these play
ers are paying their own expenses
for these early Southern Health"
trips. .... .....

Huston brought his men back with
his good judgment and encourage

York became dangerous in the
second half and with about ten min

There was large delegation of
them, lined up with the baseball
fans. to urge favorable action on
the Lawson Kieran proposal to per-
nit professional baseball games after
2 p. m. on Sundays. They all wore
red badges declaring their advocacy
of Sunday baseball.

church for attempting to stop a clean
and healthy sport from being played
at time when the working people
could reap it's benefits.
