COOPERATION

The association adopted resolution to be presented to Dr. J. D. Bowling, city health officer, expressing the policy of the association in connection with the enforcement of the new health ordinance as being one of cooperation. Dr. Bowling told a committee from the association last week that he would demand only reasonable enforcement of the ordinance, and it's practical application,
 Another committee was appointed to wait upon the City Commission this aft ernoon and discuss the subject of tho citys carload of fish. Previous sales of fish by the city, it was stated have been made in violation of the spirit of the new health ordinance, as admitted by pr. Bowling, because the car was not screened and the fish was displayed without suit able dust-proof covering. The point was also made that the city was selling food at Cost, in competition with food mer- chants who paid license for tine priv ilege and thus contributed to the support Of the city government. Their licenses, they said, made it possible, partly. for the city to sell food at cost, whereas tho city paid no license and had other ad- vantages which the retail food merchant could not hope to have.

MARKERS PLAN ID ECONOMRE MEAT
Week of April 5 Will See Butchers Advocating Use
 of Fore Quarter

Plans of the department of justice to encourage economy in meat buying were heartily concurred in by the Retail Gro cers and Butchers Association at a meeting held last night at the quarters of the Civic Association.
 Frank Spain. chairman of the Birming- ham fair price board, appeared before the meeting and explained the plan for a publicity campaign during the week of April D. when the housewives of Bir- mingham will be urged to buy fore quarter instead of hind quarter meat
 Mir. Spain said the department had become convinced that the reason for high cost of meat was the fact that families refuse to buy anything but por- terhouse steak, or other expensive cuts from the hind quarter, whereas good roasts, stews, chuck steaks and other cuts from the fore quarter were fre- quently wasted because there was no demand for them.
 The butchers present told Mir Spain that the universal extravagance of the buying public had not failed to extend to the meat markets, and even the humblest customers frequently came in and de- manded porterhouse steaks, scorning tho cheaper cuts The association members said they would be only too glad to CO., operate with Mir Spain in making the weeks observance beginning April 5 an entire success

peak for the Red and Blue. with War
wick as his receiver. Sheffey hurled in

Lafayette recently and is in prime fct.
tie to repeat. according to Coach Cariss
The Penn lineup will be the same as
against Rutgers. with Mike Sweeney on
third and Bud Meyers, the utility in e
fielder. back in his regular outfield
berth in the left garden.
Penn's chief strength this year will
lie in ono phase of the game which has
been noticeably absent in former sea :
sons. says Coach Cariss, and that fea =
ture is hitting.
Five doubles, one more than Penn
ever made in n regular game for seven
years, came from the willows of the
Penn sluggers against Rutgers, and the
team has been drilled necessarily in
batting this week.
Advance notices from Lebanon say
that Hobey Light. last years great

CAGE Commission
WILL Be FORMED
Basketball MoguIs Plan Ma
tional Body at Big Meeting
Saturday--Have Tried Before

The most important conference in
the history of professional! basketball
will take place Saturday afternoon at
the Hotel McAlpin. New York. when
heads of the professional leagues will
convene, with the ultimate object of
forming cational basketball COM
mission, to be conducted on the lines
of the baseball commission. and which
will have jurisdiction over the sport.
Those attending the gathering will
be w. j. Scheffer. representing the
Eastern League; Tom Brislin. Of the
Pennsylvania State League; NJ. J. Il.
McDonagh, of the New York state cir
cult, and President O'kccfe, Of the
at issue will be the big salaries de-
manded by the players and just what
can be done to curb the evil of playing
in two and three leagues.
1t is not the first time the basketball
leagues have gotten together ito talk
things over" The first meeting be-
tween the Eastern and New York state
body, held in New York about six
years ago, proved beneficial to those
concerned and the argument over the
eligibility of quite few men was
amicably settled.
This was before the Pennsylvania
state League had grown TO any pro-
portion, but later. when that organiza-
tion began to grab off the stars. q con
ference for the same purpose as tho
present gathering was called for the
Hotel Adelphia in this city. No one
but the representatives of the Eastern
League showed up, and nothing was ac-
complished.
The high salaries last season were
not confined to the Eastern League
alone. In this locality more than one
player was paid $50 per game and in
tdental expenses. The players also ap-
peared in several leagues.
Just how the representatives Of the
four leagues will settle any problems
is hard to say. There is a shortage of
players.
To insure the development of young
sters, every organization should agree
on having but three recognized pro-
fessionals in the lineup, and in this
way there would be enough to so
around

PhiLs Fail to Make Best
Showing in Opening
Game With Brooklyn at
Ebbets Field
BY SPICK HALL

bFOODyn, n. l., april lOs
TT THE length Of the story Of our
i Phillies' opening day ball game with
Brooklyn were in proportion to caliber
of their play, this space wodld be a
glaring, lifcsize blank. But we don't
treat our Phils that way, no matter
how badly they treated themselves and
their friends ut Ebbets Field. Yes. the
Phils lost, nine to two. But wait until
this afternoon, or next year, or some
other time.
The featur6 Of that warped set-t
yesterday at Ebbets Field was their
Uncle Wilbert Robinson's ball club. II
is whispered in various sections Of
Flatbush that Robby and his boys are
harboring pennant hopes. If they are,
they may not be harboring in vain, for
the Dodgers unquestioDably have u
we'll balanced baseball machine without
any noticeable weakness in any depart
ment. The ipfeld, Konetchy. Olsen
Ward and Johnston, are fast. work
well together and are good hitters. II
is true that they managed to commit
four boots in their opening game. but
not one Of them figured IN the Phils'
two runs.
Fast Outfleld
Iack wheat, Neis and Myers proved
their worth right on, to say nothing or
win, the pat. ms Qutheid trio landed
safely on the ball four times for total
OF seven pascs IN eleven tlnes at bat,

other department with Krueger and Otto
Miller doing the bulk Of the receiving,
and in the box they are well equipped
with Leon Cadore. Rubc Marquard

'' In the way of outstanding stars,
Chicago leads. Alexander and Vaughn

Barnes and Nehf or Cadore and Shar-
rod Smith. -,
Alexander and Vaughn will be able
10 handle around eighty ball games.
Through these eighty games the Cubs
will have winning margin beyond any,
Sehotc. But with the leaders paired
of, the Cubs begin to slip fast.
Next in reserve the Reds have Ring
and Sallee: the Giants have Toney and
BENTON; the Dodgers have Pfeffer and
Narouard. The Cubs have no pair to
match any one of these.
With this list out of the way the
Dodgers have Mamaux and Grimes; the
Reds, Fisher and Luquc; the Giants,
Douglas and Winters.
With the Cubs big lead through
Alexander and Vaughn cut away,
Brooklyn, in the way of both quantity
and quality, has a slight shade.
But the pitching strength of these
four clubs is so well balanced that
nothing short of a microscope can de-
tect any seasons difference.
Briefly, there is no one pitching staff
that outclasses the other.
