TO USE GYMS
FOR SCHOOL WORK
Plan For Development of Ath-
leteS in West Shore Towns
Sports Popular

Feeling that boys attending school
on the West Shore are in need of
some encouragement through ath-
letic lines, Professor Clyde Hoover,
supervising principal of schools in
the cross river district, to-day said
he would be glad to see some ac-
ton taken by boards for the en-
couragement of athletics in the va
rious schools.
Camp Hill and Enola schools are
the only two districts having gym
nasiums. Camp Hill High has had
teams for several years and that it
is beneficial is shown by the large
number of boys attending this
school, the principal pointed out.
Enola High, although at the pres
ent time having a basketball team,
/, is not equipped to play a schedule
of games, not having the floor in
shape for cage games. Volleyball is
being played by Enola teams and
the auditorium at that school will be
used for basketball purposes as
soon as it is equipped.
The school board has ordered
equipment for the auditorium
which will place it in Il class with
gymnasiums in Harrisburg schools.
According 10 fFOIeSSOE f1OONeT hS
soon as the floor is equipped a team
will be selected to represent the
school.
Professor Hoover said that Le-
moyne and West Fairview High
schools have some fine material for
teams and if some arrangements
could be made in these towns for
floors some keen competition be-
tween the schools on the West
Shore would be seen. Professor
Hoover was asked whether he
thought some arrangement could be
made to have Lemoyne boys prac-
tice on the Camp Hill floor and the
West Fairview material on the
Enola floor by taking the matter up
with the various boards. The prin-
cipal said that would be very good
plan and believes something could
be done along those lines. He de-
clared that efforts would be made
to encourage baseball in the spring
| in all the schools.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE Inter
collegiate Basket Ball League sea-
son of l919-20 is expected to show
keen competition. Penn, Cornell,
Columbia and Yale have won the
Hoppe Championship Trophy Cup
for two years, and if any one oil
these four colleges should win again
it would obtain permanent posses
sion of the cup. At the same time,
Princeton has one leg on this
trophy, and so can tie both for the
first place with the other colleges
and at the same time keep them
from winning the cup by taking the
1920 championship.
Considering the prospects of the
league on the basis of the men VINO
played on last years teams that
have returned, a number OF colleges
have old players to build on. Yale
and Penn both have three regulars
back: Princeton has two veterans
and three substitutes who played
enough to win their letters; Cornell
has had to build its team around
one man; Columbia has number of
former regulars, while Dartmouth
cid not have a team last year on
account of war conditions.
Penn and Yale Strong
Although the number of old play
ers around which a team is built
Is no sure indication of the strength
of the team. at present Penn and
Yale seem the foremost contenders
for the title, with Princeton run
ming them a very close race. Yale
has Van Slycke, one of the all-in-
tercollegiate forwards of last year,
and Hamil and Alderman, two very

PICK FOSTER TO
RUN COMMISSION
Looks Like Some Big Changes
in Official Baseball
Lineup

New York, Dec. 17.-Joseph ID.
O'Brien, the new secretary OF tne
Giants. started his duties with the
club Yesterday. Mr.. O'Brien will be-
gin in a few days to prepare the
PLAYERS contracts so they can be
sent out after the first of the year.
He will also put the finishing touches
on the plans for the Giants Spring
training trip to San Antonio ana
the exhibition tour with the Boston
Red Sox which will end with two
games at the Polo Grounds on sat
urday and Sunday, April 10 and II.
The championship season will open
here on Wednesday, April Il, with
the Giants having the honor this
year. The Yankees will open away
from home.
The name of John B. Foster has
been added to the list of candidates
for the Craftsmanship of the Ma
tional Commission, and he and John
Fl, Farrell are the only practical
baseball men whose names have
been mentioned. Mr.. Fosters long
experience in major league base
ball matters stamps him as likely
candidate for the joint committee to
consider when the time comes.
1T is likely that if a general house
cleaning takes place in the National
Commission, it will not only have
a new Chairman but also new Sec
retary. John E. Bruce has served
as Secretary with Hermann since
the body was organized in 1908. Mr..
Bruce has a large legal business. and
it is probable that he will step down
with Hermann.
With both the chairmanship and
Secretaryship open, the possibility
of Mr. Foster landing place on
the commission is bright. 1t is eX-
pected that within the near future
President Ban Johnson will name
a new member of the American
League Committee to act with the
National League Committee. Quick
action will have come in the ap-
pointment of a new Chairman be-
cause it is almost certain that Herr
mann will not be candidate for re-
election when the commission meets
in Cincinnati on the first Monday in
January.

reliable players, around whom to
build a team, and this will un-
doubtedly give the Blue IL very
strong combination. The three Penn
men have been playing together for
three years, and with these men to
count upon Penn will have a five
that will prove Il dangerous oppon-
ent. The veteran players of the
Red and Blue are Sweeney, VINO has
led the league consistently in scor-
ing and was all-intercollegiate
forward; Peck and McNicol.
Margetts and Opie are the two
regulars who played last year for
Princeton, and Davis, Wood and
Zabriskie also won their letters. The
1919 five was handicapped by the
loss of Trimble and by the ineligi-
bllity of n number of the bes, men,
so that this years team lines up
with a number of new men. Cap
tain Hynson. who played on the
Nassau team last year. is looked at
as conner at forward. He will
find close rival in Netts, who has
played on Il number of service
teams. Dickinson. also a member of
the Nassau team, will no doubt land
at centre, and Margetts and Opie
have already proved their ability as
guards.
In Molinet Cornell has the only
real star. The rest of the material
is green. Columbia, which trailed
the league last year, has a number
of old players back. Dartmouth
is more or less of a dark horse, for
it had no team last year. so no ac-
curate estimate of it's strength can
be made.

ARYSE BASEBALL BOOSTERS FAVOR JUNIOR LEAGUE FOR GAME
MARYSVILLE BOOSTERS TO
START BASEBALL FRIDAY;
MAY HAVE JUNIOR LEAGUE

: ing a junior or second team will re-
ceive attention of officials and men,
bers of the association.
Plan Junior League
With more material, young and
| old, available than ever before, the
question of a second team as a feed
er for the league team, has become
of Importance. Several weeks ago
a proposition was advanced for the
formation of a strong junior league
in and about Harrisburg.
Marysville has been offered a
berth in this organization and al
ready strong sentiment has been
expressed in favor of the acceptance
of the offer. This matter will be
discussed in detail on Friday night.
Preliminary plans too, provide for
the purchase of new uniforms for
this aggregation, which it is believed
would aid in the development of
material for the league team.
The junior league, according TO
plans received by persons interested
here, would play one or two twilight
games each week. The Dauphin-
Perry League grounds, it is believed
will be available for all OF these
games.
The adoption of the plan OF con-
Quoting the junior team Will Io,.rk
n step in the devclopment o. the
scope of the association which is
now l,ing considered. 1t has been
suggested that the association next
year should put n football team in
the field, and with the possibility
borough. that basketball team
should he placed in the cage durtng
the 1920-21 season. These latter
probabilities, however. ate not eX-
pected to receive any conSid erable
attention at Friday evenings meet
ing.

Friday evening. The meeting will
be held in the Municipal Building,

dent, J. Garfield Eppley.

full and the Seidel Park grounds
have been leased for another year.
Finances in Good Shape
Although the finances of the as
sociation are in better shape than
ever before, the financial question

liminary plans have already been
made for equipping the team wltE
new uniforms. Funds are on hand

pense, however.
At this meeting, too, corps OF
