GUARDS OUTSHINE
FORWARDS IN ALL
FLOOR TITLEPLAY

Guards on the high school basket
bail teams far outshone the play
ing OF the forwards in the re-
cent title series at the Y. n. C.
a. this season. The york OF the
teams on the defense was consider
able better than that an oftense, with
one exception. with the result that
scores were uniformly clO5s trough
out
In the nineteen games played so far
four OF the games have been decided
by a single point, three by two points
and three by three points, which gives
an idea OF the close guarding. In
practically all Of the contests the is
sue was in doubt up to the final min
ute OF play.
Central. winner OF the title. is the
best scoring team in the circuit. The
Mt. Pleasant lads in seven games have
totaled l43 points against &c for the
opposition. Centrars last game
against the Fasteners helped out ma
terially, as Central was able to set
the season's record OF thirty-nine
points, while Eastern was getting but
three points.
Second honors in scoring are earned
by Western, Whicn got luO polnNS uuE-
Ing twenty games. and held the oppo-
sition TO eighty-five points Business
was third with 1O2 points scored 10
los for the opposition. In defense
Western ranked even with Central.
Eastern and Technical were unable
TO stop the opposition under 1l5
points. Tech had 13S points scored
against It during twenty games.
The work OF the guards far out
shadowed that OF the forwards. Fos-
ter. Long. and Potter, OF Central;
Wight and Sinclair, OF Western; New
man, OF Eastern; Towbes, OF Bust
ness, and GurevIch. OF Technical, did
better work on defense than the for
wards.

ORGANIZED ACTION
OF HOLDOUT STARS

With less than 30 per cent OF last
years big league players signed up
for 1918. the magnates are beginning
to discuss the possibility OF an organ
lied holdout.
The situation IS regarded by some
owners as more serious than the
strike situation OF last winter. when
members OF tho Players Fraternity
were pledged not 20 sign contracts
until certain concessions were made
by the clubOwners.
Almost every club IN the big
leagues is feeling the bnckwardness
on the part Of the athletes In signing.
WashingtOn's best players have thus
far refused or declined to sign, and
the same story Is true OF the Yankees,
Indians, Mackmen. Phillies. Dodgers.
Cubs. Braves. Reds. Cardinals, and
Pirates.
That tho Players Fraternity f. not

Thompson played in IS games in
the Toronto outfieId, and his : errors
in IS chances gave him the poorest
fielding mark for the league, .ST3.
However, just as Sam Rice learned
rapidly as soon as he began playing
the garden regularly, Thompson may
also develop speedily and beat out
Merito Acosta, who fielded for .9Tl in
IA games for Baltimore.
1t was as a pitcher that Thompson
Ehone with the Toronto Leafs. He per
formed in thirty-eight contests and
won twenty-five games, and lost but
eleven. He pitched 31s innings, CIV
ing him fourth place for hard work.
while his 123 strfkeouts entities him
TO fourth place also. He allowed 20
earned runs per game. giving him
tenth place in the league for effect
iveness.
Small Stature Hurts.
1t IS Thompson's small stature that
hurts his chances as a pitcher in fast
company. There is a distinct preju-
dice against small men for mound
duty, but this same prejudice may
send him to the garden.
In the old days II was customary
to zee many small men pitching in
the big leagues, but In recent years
the tendency has been to use only
giants until We see such mountains
as Jef Tesreau and such lanky lads
as Carl Weilmann, Miles Main, and
Eppa Rixey.
Clark Griffith has all the prejudIces
of a veteran in this regard. He him
self ranked with the meGum-sized
twirlers Of his day, but he fairly
beams with joy when he finds a
rookie possessing the physical char
Acteristics OF a Jim Shaw or a Harry
Harper.
Thompson may try TO become a
pitcher with the GriTmen. but It is
more likely that Rice's absence will
result in his going TO the outheld.
