DAZZLING TENNIS
GIVES GOULD LEAD
Local Amateur Takes a Straight
Sets for open-Court Title
Against KinselIa
NEEDS ONLY 3 TOMORROW

Jay Gould, Racquet Club, can be
open court tennis champion of Amer
ica tomorrow by winning three of four
sets to be played at the Racquet Club.
He took four straight yesterday from
Walter Kinsella.
The scores were 6-3. Ga, 6-3, 6-5.
Gould is the best amateur player
ever seen in his country. and his de-
feat of Kinsella yesterday was on par
with his victory over Fred Covey at the
Rncuuet Club in 1914 for the world c
championship, when the British protes-
sional won but one set of the eight
played. Gould later voluntarily relin
ouished his right to the championship.
Some of the most important court
tennis PLAYERS in the country were in
the gallery of 200 that watched yester.
days game with keen interest, and one
of the most delighted persons present
wns George J. Gould. father of the win
ncr, who with George ]. Gould, Jr.,
followed the various strokes with much
attention.
The match will go to the winner of
seven sets, and while thirteen sets are
scheduled the tennis experts believe the
match will be virtually settled tomor-
row, when the next four sets Will be
played. Kinsela willN receive 5000,
win or lose and Gould will get silver
cup in the event o, victory.
1t was the first big court tennis
match staged here since Gould beat
Covey five years ago. Gould was in
the very best of form and rarely has
he played finer brand of tennis. Kin
sclla showed the strain of too much
practice and the match he played
against Gould was not as fine an eX-
hibition as he had given earlier in the
month while getting in trim. lie lost
many points with outs. and IN TINS

and in view of the fact that he believed
he would eventually be discovered, ne
signed with the Cubs under his right
name. He never played with Chicago,
but was an undcrstudy to Shortstop
Hollocher. He is still the property of
the Chicago club.

"Pearce knows that his actions have
reflected on the good name of the Uni
versity. and is all broken up about it.
He says that he feels so bad about it
that he will drop his, studies.
Major Pickering and Head Coach Fol
well. both say they knew nothing of
Pearce's professional connections and
that the news was a complete sur.
prise to them. Folwell said he had
heard so many rumors concerning both
Pearce and Derr that he decided not to
use either of them in the Cornell game
He said he wanted to play it safe until
n complete investigation was made.
Derr's case is different from Pearce's
in that he never played with the Uni
versity team after having been in pro
fessional sports. His first offense was o.

WELSH OUTBOXES
EDDIE NJ ANDREWS
Veteran Rivals Stage Thirteenth
Battle in Six-Round Session
at Auditorium A. A.

The big crowd that stayed away from
the Auditorium A. A. last night missed
n lot of interesting scrapping. for the
first time since the opening of the fstiC
arena at the Labor Tyccum Club a
small audience was among those pres
ent, and those who came out for the
show saw lot of good boxing.
Joe Welsh and Eddie McAndrews
were principals in the stellar scrap.
1t was their thirteenth bout. The
Hollow and Manayunk, staged one of
their usual nip and tuck encounters.
and when tho final tingle of the gong
sounded. Bobby Gunniss S. .protcgc held
slight advantage over the tisticufiiup
upholding the colors of Joe Kennedy.
While Welsh depended on his box
ing ability, McAndrews's big asset was
fighting at close quarters. Joc's left
iab and right cross served him in good
stead as compared to the incessant close
quarter scrnpping of the Manayunk
mauler, who showed better form in this
contest than ever before in his encoun-
ters with his Southwark rival. 1t was
corking good fight, and it will take
n contest of longer duration to decide
who is the superior decisively.
The big surprise of the program was
the game exhibition put On by
Sec Saw Kelly, of Kensington. against
Herman Miller, of Baltimore. The
middleweight from the Oriolr City was
winner-therc is no doubt about that
but the See Saw person made Miller
extend himself from the outset.
Mike Castle, of Boston, posing un
der the name of Willie Morrison. de
feated Jimmy Lavender, of Pittsburgh
in a limited contest. Castle, after
being struck low in the fifth round
gamely resumed the contest and he was
unanimous victor at the final sound OF
the gong,

KEPT FACTS SECRET
BY EDWIN j. POLLOCK

pARD PEARCE, halfback on the
Penn football team, who played pro-
fessional baseball during the summer,
deliberately evadcd signing at the Uni
ve"sity as a simon pure amateur, ac-
cording to information revealed by one
closely connected with sports at Frank
lin Field.
= 4 system of discovering whether or
not a student athlete has participated in
professional athletics was inauguratpd
at the University some time ago. Every
year candidates for teams in every
branch of sport are forced to sign a
statement giving facts about their ath
letic connections in the past Such a
statement is called nm ironclad.
IronCladS are signed at the beginning
Of every season. 1t is said that Pearcc
reported late for the squad in the hope
that he would not be called upon ~ sign.
it was his idea that he would he over
looked it is reported and his scheme
worked perfectly.
Accomplished Purpose
All the ironclads had been signed
and filed. The management neglected
to have Pearce afiiX his bank account
destroyer to the statement and he kept
facts under cover.
Pearce is reported to have made a
clean confession and to have taken all
the blame. Here is his story as retold
yesterday:
'Pard was anxious to return to col
lege and to get chance to play on the
varsity eleven. He believed that the
facts concerning his affiliations with the
Chicago Clubs would have appeared IN
the Philadelphia newspapers and for
this reason thought he would not be al =
lowed to play. Upon his arrival here, he
discovered that no information had been
obtained and he kept his mouth shut.
He delayed reporting so that he
would be able to evade signing an iron
clad. The coaches and Major Picker =
ing were ignorant of his dongs during
the summer and nothing was said about
him being n professional.
1.-THE story of Pearce's professionalism
first appeared in Chicago newspaper
and when asked about the article, he
confessed. He said he had had many
offers, during the summer and turntt
them all down until he was approached
by a man from the Three1 League. Th'
proposition paid so well, he said. HI
could not turn it down. He played II
the Three-I League under the name o.
Dwyer.

John Titzcl, who played a whale
of game at left tackle for Penn
against Cornell, worked during most
of the contest with his left arm
hanging useless by his side. John
made the first tackle under a punt in
the opening period and suffered
nerve injury in his portside wing
near the shoulder.
The big southpaw hopes to be able
20 pitch on the baseball team this
spring. but his arm is giving him
considerable trouble, and he may
have to keep away from the mound.
In case he is not able to pitch he
probably will be moved to some other
position. Last season he was one of
the best hitters on the team.

ALL ARE BADLY SHAKEN UP

New York, Dec. 3.-Thi-teen teams
were tied for first place In the six day
bicycle race at Madison Square Garden
ut & o'clock this morning, the ftty-
qiyth hour Of the contest. Each had
covered 1855 miles and four laps, COM
pared with the record of 1859 miles and
Ave laps made by Anderson and Dupuy
i'm 1915.
The French Belgian team Of Tiber.
rhien and Carbon were one lap behind
the others. Only one team. the Long
island combination Of Carman and
Lang, had dropped from the race.
GoulIet and Madden, of Newark,
n. j., led on points scored as the re-
suit of sprints.
New York, Dec. .3.-Thc biggest and
most damaging spill of the twenty sew
cnth annual six day bicycle race at
Madison Square Garden occurred last
night at o .05 o'clock, n short time prior
to the start Of the evening sprint for
noints, when four riders of the fourteen
remaining teams in the grind went top
Ming over each other in n bone scraping
crash on the Twenty seventh street
side of the garden. None of the riders
sustained serious injury, by some mir
acle, but all four were so shaken up
that they had to remain off the track
temporarily to recover.
The crash came on the closing lap
of premature sprint, started when an
enthusiast in one of the boxes offered
$50 for series of five spurts at mile
each. The first one was near its FIN
ish when Willie Keller. of Harrison
n. j., who is teamed with Fred Weber,
of Newark, went crashing to the board
floor while rounding the famous death
curve on the Fourth avenue end of the
garden into the Twenty seventh street
ditch.

citation to govern Catholic sports in

West Philadelphia Catholic High, La
Sale Prep. Roman Catholic High and
ST. Joe are to attend this session.
Graduates. undergraduates and con-
stituents of the four schools have been
manifcsting a great deal of interest in
all branches of Catholic sports. All OF
which is proved unanimously when it is
taken into consideration that crowds OF
from 5000 to 10000 turned out to see
football games between Catholic elevens
this wear. But because of the lack of
league play no champion in the various
sports could be decided officially.
League Is Needed
There is no doubt that a Catholic
league in this city would have ten
dency not only to increase interest," III
competition between the four institu-
tions, but it also would put sports on a
better, higher and cleaner basis. All
of the schools are anxious to form such
a league. but until now it appeared as
if one or another of the schools was
anxious toNave the honor of being the
one to organize league play. Now 1t
seems to be an issue for all or the
schools to put down set of eligiblllty
rules, and not worry which of the instl-
tutions is to be recognized as the
father of such an athletic association, -,

Within the Inner Sanctuaries.
While thousands of women devot'

While thousands of women devoted
their energies in sewing and knitting
for their fighting sons and while
MANY others still go daily to the
railroad stations to meet every train
to cheer and comfort these boys;
while all these Red Cross activities
are witnessed with the pfofoundest
appreciation by the general public.
there are everywhere little groups OF
spiritually devoted people working
behind the scenes of this holocaust.
They wear no uniform of Red Cross
insignia, but, like the high priests OF
old, they enter the inner sanctuarles,
behind the windows with their little
service flags, to aid and to comfort
their occupants, to keep up the NOR
ale of the greaat American home.
This Red Cross Home Service work
is to continue indefinitely until all
wars ravages that come within the
possibility of human assistance are
repaired. For, though they are located
thousands of miles from the battle
fronts there are in these homes the
ravages of lost sons and husbands, of
crippled and diseased boys, of sad
ness and depression, or worry and
want, that call the Red Cross with
the same spiritual force as does the
cry for drop of water of the dying
soldier upon the battlefield.
