Results of First Games
Indicate These TwoWill
Be Contenders for Title
By Ray Mccarthy

The belief that the University OF
Pennsylvania and Princeton will ne
l'ghtlng it out for the championship
IN the intercollegiate basketball league
next March has been strengthened 5v
the results Of games played last weel..
Princeton defeated Cornell in tae
opening league contest bv score Of
20 to ~ at Ithaca on Friday night,
while Penn trimmed the navy in con-
vlncing manner at Annapolis on Satur
day afternoon. In the meantime Yale
was being beaten by the City College
OF New York, team which Princeton
had beaten the previous week.
1t Is not the results of these games
so much as the way in which the vic
tories were obtained that provides the
dope. 1t has been reported that Cor.
nell, although composed mostly OF
green players, looked like CHAMPION
ship outfit. Princeton, on the otha-
hand, has quintet of veterans for tho
most part. They have already worked
out the rough spots and have smooth
working combination, even at this early
date. This they showed against Cor
nell, and gave evidence of much laten :
power, so that it is almost certain thew
will be near the top when the season
closes
Cornell showed splendid possibilities

Three-l May Be Expanded
To an Eight.Club League

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Dec. o.
Plans for the expansion OF the Three-I
Baseball League and the formation of
new Central League We're discussed
here this afternoon by A. r. Tearney,
president Of the former organization,
and E. w. Dickerson, promoting the
new circuit.
With the object of enlarging the
ThreeI League to an eight-club cir
cult. Tearney proposed that the Cen
tral League relinquish Fort Wayne and
Richmond, Ind, territorial rights to his
organization. Dickerson declined to do
this until it can be definitely deter
mined that enough Michigan cities will
come into the new Central League to
make up strong Glass circuit. This
is expected to be decided December so
at meeting Of club owners from Sag-
new, Bay City, Flint and Battle Greek.
An effort also was made to effect
compromise on Dickerson's claim for
$4,000 back salary as president of the

Squash Upset
Teammates Victory Over
Yale Club Star Sur
prises Court Followers

Donald S. Baker, the Yale club play
when he eliminated Livingston Platt,
clubmate, in SEMI final round
match of the annual fall handicap
tournament of the National Squash
Tennis Association on the Columbia
University Club courts yesterday. In
downing Platt by score Of 15--f1,
l5-3, 15-2 Baker completed the job
in such a decisive manner that he sur
prised the spectators. The victory
placed Baker in the final round.
In two other matches in the fourth
round Augustus J. Cordier, minus 10,
was forced to show his best skill in one
to defeat Frederick S. Keeler, Colum-
bia Club, scratch, by a score of lift,
Id, 1913. In the other Royal +. r.
Riggs, Squash Club, scratch, was forced
to three games to down Irving II. Cor
nell, Columbia Club, plus ., by a score
OF 1C-f8, 1o-2, 15-2
Platt was compelled to allow Baker
start of five aces in each game, but
the opinion prevailed that this advan-
tage should not prove too steep to over
come. However, Platt was experience
ing bad day and the best of his shots
went wrong. His shots appeared to
lack their puzzling twists, while he
erred often in attempting to clay" the
ball low over the tel-tale.
In contrast to Platt's poor play was
the formidable game presented by
Baker. He drove with lightning speed
and continually varied his program of
attack
The inability of Platt to count dur
ing the early hands of both the first
and second games made the task much
harder as Baker counted several points.
Platt soon hit his stride and in five
hands had retrieved his handicap. He
Immediately set out to overhaul Baker
and soon was only a few points behind
/ However, Baker managed to score con-
slstently in several hands to run out
! the game.
in the second game Baker assumed
lead while Platt was experiencing
difficulty in collecting aces Both men
were playing hard squash and the
cross-court game employed by each
compelled the diagnosing of many diff
fcult angles as the ball rebounded off
the wall. Platt gradually closed up on
Baker, but the latter was mixing few
mistakes and soon clincned his second
game.
Cordier escaped defeat at the hands
of the veteran Keeler by only shade
in the third game While Cordier was
accounting for his handicap of 10 aces,
Keeler had gained lead of aces to 0.
BY pressing matters. Cordier worke d
up TO l3-all and in the extra set of five
aces held his rival scoreless.
Riggs and Cordier will meet in the
lower half semi-tinal round match this
afternoon for the right to face Baker
in the final round tilt tomorrow after
noon.

counter without great difficulty, defeat
ing Morton Bernstein, last years boys
champion. by a score OF GO, "a
Bernstein made the most of avery Sc
we're service in the second set and gave
his more famous opponent a lively ses-
sion of playing, but the champion al
ways held command.
A. L. Hopkins ir., the Yale team cap
tain, worked his way into the round
before the semi-fnal by winnig two
matches. He is regarded as one of the
dangerous obstacles in young Rich
ards's path toward another champion
ship, although the latter, in form,
should wade through the field without
being unduly pressed.
Princeton Player Beaten
In his first match Hopkins took the
measure of S. X. Bradley, a Princeton
student, by score of 6-3, Cd, and
In the second round he eliminated
Parke Cummings after three hard sets,
the scores going at 6-4, 70, g. 2.
His brace of victories placed Hopkins
q clear round ahead Of the field
Another feature match in the junior
ranks was the first round clash of
Jerry Lange, the brilliant young player
from the New York Tennis Club, and
Benjamin Butterworth, a stalwart son
of Frank Butterworth, who made foot
ball history for Yale score of years
ago. Lange. about half Butterworth's
size and height, managed to defeat his
opponent in sraight sets at Go, I'd.
Butterworth could not get his strokes
working with their customary smooth
ness on the board courts in the first
set, and many times miscalculated the
speed of the ball. In the second set,
however, he did far better, winning
four games before young Lange could
bring off the winning points for the
match.
Only eleven youngsters started in the
boys singles. and three of these went
being w. E. Houghton, L. Rouillon and
G. NJ. Wood jr. A new champion will
be crowned in this event, since Bern
stein, the present holder, has been
graduated into the junior ranks.
This morning the singles will be con-
t.nued, but the afternoon will be
devoted to the running off of the
doubles events. with fine fields entered
in both. Frank T. Anderson and Her
bert L. Kaltenbach are the present
junior champions.
Plays Back Court Game
1t was foregone conclusion when
Richards came out upon the court to
begin his match with Bernstein that the
wonderful boy from Yonkers would
come forth triumphant, but neverthe-
less the gallery was anxious to see the
conqueror of Tiden, Kumagae and
Wallace F. johnson in action. Richards
soon demonstrated that he had the
same perfection of stroke and brilliance
of court tactics that had brought him
fame on the courts
Bernstein himself is one of the clev-
crest among the younger players, but
it was evident all through the match
that Richards could win the points
when he felt that he really needed
them. In the first set the national in
door title holder was satisfied to hang
mostly in the back of the court, from
where he whipped unerring drives close
down the side lines. Occasionally he
closed in at the net to bring off daz-
zling volley for placement.
Bernstein, who acted as though he
were bit awed by the reputation OF
his opponent in the first set. gained
confidence in the second session and

Red Sox Owner Would
Shift SsDisturbing Ele-
ment'' for His Price
By w. 7. Macbeth

Babe" Ruth in Yankee uniform
next year is a prognostication of Paul
Shannon, baseball writer of Boston,
who presumably is az close to the
situation in the Hub as any critic of
the city. Unfortunately for New York
fandom, it has been impossible to get
the least veriication of such project
Harry II. Frazee, when seen yester-
day, refused to comment on the sale of
Ruth.
II refused 100000 cash for Babe
last year, before he became the great
home run attraction he proved at the
end of the year." said the owner of the
Reds. "There is nothing l have
wouldn't sell--for the right price, of
course-but what do you think, now, I'd
take for Ruth? Do you believe any
body in baseball would be foolish
enough 30 give what l would have to
get to brave the fury Of the Boston
fans If | were to let him go?'
Shannon intimates that Frazee IN
tends to dispose of Ruth because Babe
has been somewhat of disturbing ele-
ers to such an extent that the best of
them seldom get mention. Further
more. though he is under contract for
two more years, Ruth, it is said, has
issued an ultimatum to the club asking
double his 1919 salary
1t is known that Colonels Rupert
and Huston. OF the Yankees, offered
100000 cash for Ruth last July. This
was not an advertising stunt in any
way, for no mention was made of the
fact at the time.
If it is true that Frazee intends to
put Ruth on the market he will surely
consider New York first Frazee is
good business man. He realizes that
by placing Ruth in New York he would
reap richer harvest as visiting club
than he could hope to do in any other
city.

began to get more "pace" into his
strokes They battled along on even
terms up to ALL, with Richards hav-
ing bit of trouble in handling the
high bounding service and swift drives
from Bernstein's racquet.
At this stage Richards abandoned his
back-court tactics entirely and forced
the net position, reeling off beautiful
volleying shots to every unprotected
portion of Bernstein's court, so that the
last two games for the set and match
went to him quickly.
Lange proved the value of tourna-
ment experience by the convincing
manner in which he defeated the tall
Futterworth. The two formed strik-
ing contrast on the court because Of
the disparity in size, but Lange, drlv-
ing with remarkable accuracy and skill
for the lines, demonstrated to the on
lockers that mere bulk WAS to play a
small part in the match.
Experience Proves Factor
Butterworth, who did not appear able
TO time his shots at all in the first set,
improved materially in this respect in
the second and made a game fight for
the lead, but Lange brought all his eX-
perience into play in this crisis and
won the last two games by really Drll-
liant playing.
Hopkins showed splendid tennis in
his match with Cummings, and it was
we'll that he did, for Cummings pressed
him closely all the way. Hopkins is a
strong driver. and many of his points
were won with these shots, as he ripped
the ball across the deep court to Cum
mings's forehand In the second set
the latter player tried lobbing, and
with considerable success, for Hopkins
found the net many times as he tried
to score off kills"
In the last set the Yale captain re-
gained control of his shots and allowed
Cummings only two games more be-
fore he took the match.
Louis B. Daley jr., another Prince
ton student, won we'll played match
from Jerome Tucker I'd, winning at
Go, 6-3, with both boys hitting the
bali hard and taking many chances in
the effort to "kill."
