The Memories are Pleasant.

The following very kind comment
is from the Abbeville Press and Ban
ner in introducing the article which
we wrote of Abbeville as we first re-
membered the good old town, and we
appreciate the kind words of Editor
Greenes The memories of the old
town are among the most pleasant
that we have stored away in the cor
ridors of the past. Just why we did
not remain in Abbeville may be ex-
planned by the fact that at that time
it was our purpose to devote our life
to that of a teacher, and the opening

STRETCH MEEHAN
TO JUMP CENTER
Giant Tap-off Player Returns to
Eastern League and
Germantown

This is Welcome Home Night" in
Germantown. The fans up in the
suburban section will receive with ac-
claim one of the most popular basket
ball players that ever performed in the
Eastern League. "Stretch" Meehan
has returned to the fold and will jump
center for the G's in this evenings game
against our other local entry, Bill
Myers Philadelphia outfit.
A victory for Germantown will tie
them with the Phillies for fourth place,
as Coatesville has dropped to the cellar
by reason Of their defeat at the hands
of Reading last night. The best bet in
basketball IL that Coatesville will finish
the first half at the bottom. Manager
Dennis will have his strongest lineup
in action this evening. The forwards
will be Franckle and Bilson; Meehan,
center, and Holmes and Kinkaide,
guards. The extra men will be Hough
and Hartzell. All others have been re-
leased.
Both local managers are making every
effort to strengthen for the second series: ::
They will not wait until the middle of
January, but are getting the new play
ers Immediately. Manager Myers, OF
Philadelphia, has Dehnert, Leonard and
Beckman yet to report, and any OF this
trio may be on hand tonight. When the
Germantown and Philadelphia get their
regular line ups going the others VIII
have stiff opposition.
Along the basketball rialto the dope
has been spread far and wide to watch
Princeton" in the intercollegiate
League. 1t will be recalled that the
Tiger team is coached by none other
than DIR. Louis Sugarman, known far
and wide as n basketball celebrity OF
note, both as n player and coach.
Some high authorities in the inter-
collegiate cage game long ago awarded
'Suggy" the pennant hands down. But
the opening game was played last night
at Ithaca. When the smoke of battle
had cleared away it was seen that
Princeton was on the short end of "a =
20 score. The Tigers scored the same
number of field goals as their oppo-
nents, but the four points difference
was due to that many more fouls made
by the Ithacans.
Basketball followers were more than
surprised with the result of the game.
Princeton has a team that was ex-
pected to win the pennant, Iotwith- =
standing Penn's star quintet. which
only goes to show that one can never
count on victories until the games are
played.
Coatesville handed Reading scare

The game incidentally marked the first
time this season that frankie Boyle has
been blanked from the field. The vic
tory gave Reading first place and sent
Coatesville to the cellar.

COMISKEY ANXIOUS TO
PROSECUTE WHITE SOX
Doesn't Want American League to

dent Johnson, of the American League,

1t has been rumored that President

American League In its effort to press
the gambling cases in order to have
charge Of the prosecution himself.
President Comiskey has placed the
matter In the hands of his attorneys,
and more than year ago set aside
$4,000 to be used in vnearthing the
1919 world series scandal. His attor-
rtys, it is said, are to confer with
States Attorney Robert Grove to learn
Just what can be done to hurry up the
cases now before Criminal Court.
COmiskey believes himself to be the
one who suffered most from their dis
honesty and that he should be allowed
hand in the prosecution.
Johnson also said he Was working on
q arrangement of the rules under
which the major and minor leagues can
operate. A meeting is scheduled to be
te" N Philadelphia early in January,
at which President Heydler and George
Wharton Pepper will be present to draw
Up this agreement. Johnson will pre-
sent his idea Of the proper working

proved that Dempsey could be hit will
a fair amount of ease. And he proved
that n game boxer could take his
punches and still keep going.
Quite Difference
WHAT difference one fight makes
w Jeffries was an unbeatable cave mar
until he met Jack johnson. Then any
number promptly forgot the fact tina,
the Californian had been out of the
ring for six years. They merely re.
membered his last fight.
Willard. after beating johnson and
easily outpointing Moran, was rushed
to the head Of the list.
Here was a champion six feet seven
inches tall, who weighed 26O pounds.
who could hit and who knew something
about boxing. Many placed him on a
par with Jeffries.
Then Dempsey came along. Ten min =
utes after that fight was over Willard
fight"
Then Dempsey, the tiger man. meets
Brennan. After which old timers start
Speculating as to whether he could have
Iasted five rounds against Jcffries, Fitz :
simmons or johnson.
One bad fight can upset lot of good
ones: Snodgrass is stilr remembered by
the ny ball that he muffed; Merkle by
the base that he didn't touch. A bis
part OF the fight clan today is re-
nemoering Dempsey only as he looked
against Brennan.
:. 1t may be that fight gave the true
line OF his ability against a good. game
man who was fairly fast. The burden
OF proof is now upon Dempsey. He is
going to find that the populace at large
which. follows the trail of the hard
prown glove is going to Judge him by
his last showing. at isn't what yoT
used to be, it's what you are TODAY. y
still stands as the slogan of the age.
TN THE meanwhile there are rumors
L that Carpenter is about to engage
in a trade of punches with Frank Mo-
ran. That, also, will be interesting
For Moran, although slow and lumber
ing. is no set-up for anybody. He is
willing to walk in and trade one punch
for four. And he has always believed
that he could batter down the French
champion II he ever had the chance.
TNHEY say in golf that "man who
l. can putt is a match for anybody. "
In the same way, in the boxing game,
man who can hit is no one to be
taken lightly For no one can say when
he may have little luck.
