Central High and West Philadelphia
High each sent a .75, without the pre-
ceding 2, through the lid of its football
schedule last week. Both won their
games, but the wins didn't mean any
thing. except that players. coaches and
student bodies were highly elated with
victorious openings.
The Crimson and Gold victory was
expected, and, Of course, predicted, al
though it had been believed that Cath
olic High would have given the Central
eleven much closer conflict. In ref
erence to the Speedboys, their 100
count over Lower Merton was even a
bigger surprise, from scoring stand
point.
All Of which gives us a story. Will
West Philadelphia High be able to dis
possess Central High from the Scho-
lastic League football pinnacle? Speed
boy constituents say, "Oui oui! J" They
wouldn't be Speedboy constituents if
they didn't.
Was Runner Up
West Philly was the runner-up to
Central High last year in tho grid gal
omiration for the Ellis A. Gimbel tro-
ply. which the Broad and Green streets
boys want to keep again this year. That
is natural. but they'll have to show a
better football average in games with
and against the Speedboys, Northeast
High, South Philly High, Frankford
High and Germantown High before
Central will be permitted to boast of
the cups possession.
South Philly. since winning the
championship in 1916; Frankford and
Germantown have never been taken
seriously as contenders for the much =
coveted cup. They have good teams an
nually. but not good enough to cope
successfully with Northeast, Central
and West Philly. So that SINNERS the
probable winner down to one of three
eleyens-the last three named in the
preceding sentence.
Northeast Quality Unknown
Northeast Highs football quantity is
an unknown quality, for the simple
reason that the Archives eleven hasn't
won a game this year yet-because it
hasn't played.
West Philly and Central High both
have good teams--for the simple fact
and reason that they proved it last
week. But it wasn't, nor could it be,
proved whether Central is better than
West Philly or vice versa.
So the Interscholastic League sea
son, which starts next Friday with 9
game between West Philly and Frank
ford High, must go on. The champion
ship cannot be conceded-yet.

SCOODLES SEES NO
INDIANS; SURPRISED
Tenders BIushing Trainer Dis
appointed That No Cowboys
Greet EN- in Denver
SEE LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN
BY LOUIS II. JAFFE

"Scoodlcs. whose last handle is
Reinfcldt. was disappointed. Every
body in Philadelphia S fsticdom knows
"Scoodles. This character of local
pugilism is keeping company with
Lew Tender on the southpaw's west
Crn invasion. When the blushing
trainer started for the other side of the
Mississippi. carrying his own and
Tenders luggage, he was all prepared
for a pleasant or displeasant meeting
with long moustached, sombrero topped
bad men wild rowing Indians and
whooping cowboys. But it was not to
be so. Hence "Scoodles " disappont-
ment
Tender and "Scoodles'' arrived in
Denver last Sunday afternoon. At the
Stockyards' stadium in that city Friday
night Tender, is to pry off the lid of
| his two months tour in the West in q
ten rounder against Soakum Yoakum.
Among those present on the platform to
meet the pair of Philadelphians was
Rick" Ricketson, of the Denver Post,
but "Scoodles' looked in vain for bad
men," ct al. Here's what Mr.. Ricket-
soI writes:
Denver Is Appealing
" 'Scoodles liked the West right
away, but was awfully disappointed in
not seeing any Indians or cowpunchers
around the depot and the depot was
altogether different than both boys had
expected. 1t wasn't exactly their first
triI West--Iew had visited Scranton
Pa. once, and 'ScoOdles had been
reading up on the country on his way
cut.
- 'Scoodles' had promised TO get
Tender a real western hat for pres .
ent, and was so disappointed when he
discovered the haberdashers' brands
were much more popular in Denver. -
A letter postmarked Denver" in
this mornings mail would indicate that
Tender was on a sight seeing sojourn
rather than a tour for the purpose OF
proving to the world at large, and
everyone, that the Philadelphia port
side puncher was the best 1873 pound
boxer of the day. The communica
! ton is signed by Tenller, and in part
states:
Buffalo Bills Resting Place
Gust got back from a motor trip tC
Lookout mountain, which the Denver
people rave so much about, and mus
admit that it is beautiful. At the very
top of this mountain is where Colone
William Frederick Cody, better know
as Buffalo Bill, lays at rest, by hi
request. 1t is said to be over 1000 fee
high" .
Tender didn't take the trouble f
state a solitary word in reference t
boxing. Probably he believes in let
ting his handler, Phil Glassman. bio,
his horn, which Phillip did very nois
lily last Wednesday night, Just befor
boarding a train headed for Denver.
"Just as soon as get to Denver.
said Glassman, "I'll see that Tendle
begins getting into the best

JACK KELLY DLNED
FOR WINNING TITLE
$50 Friends Gather to
Honor First Philadel-
phian to Capture National
Single Souls Euent
VESPER CLUB is. HOST
BY SPICK HALL

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY of the
100000 or more Philadelphia ad-
mirers of John B. Kelly gathered around
the festive board at the Walton Satur-
day evening to pay astronomical and
oratorical tribute to the first oarsman
that ever brought the national single
Sculls championship to Bill Penn's ia
vorite city. The affair was conceived
and given under the auspices of the
Nespcr Boat Club, of which Jack is
member
While the guests were sippug their
one half of one per cent and looking at
their neighbors to see if they were
bayoneting their food with the proper
weapon, long list or speakers laid
down a verbal barrage Of praise that
would have made Jack blush if he were
the blushing kind. incidentally, the
praise that was heaped upon the famous
sculler did not tell half of what he
really has accomplished.
This season Jack has sat in ten win
ming boats for Vesper, where he always
did more than his share of the work.
Twenty four Victories
The Vesper Club had its banner season
this year with twenty four victories.
. Vesper's previous record was twenty
I two firsts under the captaincy of Walter
Smith This years twenty four wins
gives Vesper 304 victories on the river
| since its organization in 1865.
Just to show that there is no hard
feeling in the rowing family, Tom j.
/ Rooney. former champion and member
of the Ravenswood Boat Club, Flush
| ing. L. l.. attended the dinner, In spite
Of the fact that he is an oarsman,
Rooney got away with neat speech.
Another sneaker was Joe Wright, coach
/ of the Penn crews and instructor
of the Argonauts, of Toronto, Canada.
| Wright is very anxious that this coun-
/ try send crews to the next Olympic
games. Wright was backed up in his
plea by Harry p. Burke, president of
the Malta Boat Club and member of
the executive committee of the Ma
tional Association OF Amateur oars
men. Burke declared that he was going
to appoint himself committee OF one
to see to it that Jack is one of the
Americans to go to the next games and
compete fo- the worlds title, which,
by the way, be is going to win sooner
or later.
Judge Patterson Speaks
Judge John NJ. Patterson, who has
won more races for Vesper than he has
for Mayor, declared that Jacks de-
termination was the big factor in hii
many victories. This is true. Their
have been other oarsmen who wer'
more powerful but who never attained
the success that the Vesperian hai
reached OF course, jack has the abilit!
but more than mechanical ability il
needed in boat race. Jack is fighter
, He has the endurance, the spirit ant
the courage to use every ounce Of hi
. strength to win, no matter how har'
; the going may be. A man OF this typ
will always be successful athlete, Jus
as Jack Kelly is.
