Loss of Schmidt
HandicaptoC.C. C.N.Y.
In Game With Army

The City College basketball team will
travel to West Point tomorrow for
its contest with the cadets minus the
services of George Schmidt, star CEN
tre on the Lavender five for the last
two years. Schmidt has been declared
professional
Last year when war enlistments de-
pleted the physical training depart
ment's staff at the College of the City
of New York Schmidt accepted posi-
ton at the college as a gymnasium
Instructor. This year with the return
OF most OF the staff the basketball
player was asked for his resignation.
According 10 recent ruling of the
A. A. u, it was declared, Schmidt auto
matically resumed his amateur stand
ing when he left the position he had
filled as war job. The college au-
thorities, however, did not construe
Schmidt's position as "war job"
The loss of Schmidt, coupled with
the sudden departure last week of
Mussy Holman, star guard for four
years, who returned to business as soon
as the S. A. I. c. broke up. puts Coach
Deering in an embarrassing position
for his game with the cadets

The war is all over, Aunt Eleanor
Ann, and a whole lot of ex-rib' :
clerks and floorwalkers and BARRIERS
and walters who have been learning to
do things with the business end of q
bayonet have not been able to satisfy
their lust for gore. They feel that
while at was a hell Of a war, it was
the only one they had" and now they
haven't got it.
But there is hope for some of the
sons of Mars, and on Monday night
they may get their chance to feel the
exquisite JOY of slipping a bayonet
between the ribs of their fellow men,
if the well-known fellow man doesn't
behave himself.
The doughboys of the 1st Regiment
of Newark, where Benny Leonard and
Johnny Dundee will battle at the
Newark Sportsmen's Club for your
entertainment on Monday evening,
have been itching for action for
months. They haven't been itching
for the same reason that the boys in
the trenches "over there" have, but
still, they feel that if they only had
the opportunity they could win all
kinds of medals and citations and
everything.
Now the chance to make good pre-
sents itself, and after Monday night
we may see lot of wounded heroes
hobbling about the streets of Newark,
suffering from spavins, broken arches,
black eyes and Irish shrapnel" wounds,
those kind that are made by bricks,

Newark's private war NAV be made
possible by the action of the manage
ment of the Newark sportsmen's Club,
which is housed in the 1st Regiment
Armory. When Leonard and Ted (Kid)
Lewis fought at. Wiedemayer's Park. in
Newark, last fall, the fans enjoyed a
man's-sized riot in the rush to horn
into the best seats without the for
mality of having bought tickets to
same.
The men who are managing the
Leonardo Dundee fight are determined
that the only fighting done in the
done in the ring. and for that reason
the commanding officers of the regi-
ment will have the entire building
policed by members of the regiment,
who will greet you with loaded rifles
and fixed bayonets. and If anybody
wants to- get "mussy" the soldier boys
will stick you first and take your ante

There are about 1900 seats in the
building, and all except the 81 brand
in the balcony nre reserved. The birds
who perch up near the rafters will do
all their buying on the day Of the bout,
for the seats will not be placed on

n. Y. L. Five Off
For Annual Trip
I'm New England

New York University's basketball
team will leave the city this afternoon
on its annual New England invasion.
Owing to existing conditions the trip
this year includes but two games in as
many days.
The Violet five will meet the team
of Wesleyan College in the first game
tonight IN the Faverweather gymna-
stun. This will be the Red and Blacks
opening game of the season, so little
is known of the Connecticut teams
chances. A close contest is sure to
result as it will mark the renewal of
the old rivalry between the two insti-
tutions on the basketball court after
a lapse of four years.
Or Saturday the local quintet will
travel to Amherst, Mass, where they
will clash with the speedy Amherst
College five. Reports from the Bay
State town have it that the Purple
and White are represented on ths court
this winter by championship team,
so another keen contest ehould result.
This will be the first meeting between
the two schools in any branch Of inter
collegiate sport in many years, so both
teams will be on edge to start relations
off again with a victory.
Eight players and Frank II. Cam,
directo. of athletics at the Bronx in
stitution, will make the trip. Captain
Floyd Esan, Delaney, Brown, Holman,
Marin. Trovato, Kram and Sternberg
are these men. The lineup will prob
ably remain the same as in the Rutgers
game last Saturday night. This com
bination gave remarkable display Of
teamwork for the initial contest of the
season and with little seasoning such
as this trip will afford should bring
the Violet back to its former high
standing In the intercollegiate basket
ball world

decision that the old order must go
Carr Hermann being the special tar
get of the National bomb throwers.
AS for the matter of limiting the
monthly salaries of each club to Sill
600 exclusive of the managers stipend
change which was indorsed by the
meeting of the National League or
Wednesday, the question was entirely
ignored by the joint meeting. This is
a point regarding which each league
has separate jurisdiction. and the fact
that the American League ignored il
yesterday in the big conclave shows
that the Nationals will have to go il
alone with the new programme.
National Now minor"
The answer to all this was given by
prominent minor league owner from
the Middle West, who said: "Well, that
means the National League is going
to be one of us" In plain vernacular
if the National League adheres to it's
decision for a monthly limit of 200
there is going to be merry row
started by the star players of the older
circuit.
The Joint "meeters" did really agree
on some things and acted at times like
a body of men who had as their aim
the restoration of baseball to its
former popularity. But the funny
aspect was that harmony reigned re-
garding subjects which will have little
to do with the postwar renovation of
the sport.
One of the points which was ami
cably settled by the two leagues was
the cutting of the schedule from l54
games to LAO. Another united front
was presented on the waiver question
1T being decided that in the future
there should be no recall of inter
league or lntraleague waivers.
The player limit was definitely fixed
at twenty-one for each club in the two
organizations. The limit goes into ef-
feet fifteen days after the season
starts.
AS regards the war tax which was
collected during the season past it
was voted to name a committee to con-
Ter with the Internal Revenue Depart
ment at Washington regarding the
continuance Of this tax
The demands of the minor leagues
calling for the abolition of the present
draft system and other reforms aside
from the reorganization of the Ma
tional Commission which shall give the
minors say no this board, proved toe
heavy ( meal for the two big leagues
to digest at one sitting.
AT O'Clock, despite the refresh
ments which were pouring into the as
sembly room from time to time, every
body became unanimous on another
topic, to wit, II : necessity of a rest
from labor, and it was therefore
agreed that the dinner bell be rune
