WANT JOHNSON'S
FIVE TO COME IN
How IL Club League Permits
Restoration of Old Order
Sport Gossip.
BY WILLIAM ID. HANNA.


Another crusader for the Lasker plan
in baseball returned from Chicago yes
terday, but as all that's possible to say
about the reorganization scheme has
been said--unless some modern Webster
enlarses the dictionary-there wasn't
much chance for the latest arrival to
unburden himself. This one. John Heyd-
Ter, president of the National League and
willing accomplice in the Staying of tie
National Commission, tagged out from
the trip and labors thereof. did a lot
more sleeping than talking yesterday.
Not much to be added to what al
ready has been said" he explained. "and
in sense talk OF twelve club league
at the moment, that is the details OF it,
is premature. There will be one If the
five clubs on the outside don't come in.
that's settled, but we want them to come
in.
"A twelve club circuit is entirely feast
BILE. II isn't the ideal arrangement and
for time would be awkward, but in a
year or two would be working nicely.
The reason the supporters of the Lasker
plan didn't lay their plans for two eight
club leagues instead of one of twelve Is
that in case the present circuits are re-
stored in a year or so we shall not have
some useless plants on our hands. Cities
would have to be taken in that would
not IN the event of a return to old con-
ditons. be of any use to us, but that
won't be the case under the provisions
for the future that we've made"
From which it will be, seen the mag
mates provided pretty well for possible
future developments and return to the
fold of those who have drifted apart.
Mention is made in the news from
~ ha ~ 70
this week is developing two reliable
guards to take the place of injured regu-
lars in the game against Syracuse to-
morrow. All there. is to say on that
point is that coach who can develop
two reliable guards in one week is a
wizard If not a miracle man.
Centre or Center, which? Even Ken
tuckians from the heart OF the Blue
Grass don't know. The official tickets,
as sent out from Harvard, spell IL
Center" and though they miss few
goals from the field and tumble the ball
once in while in the shadow of the
stadium. in matters scholarly and pre-
else and unimpeachable photography
they bat 1000.
The truth is, those in the know know
that the real reason of the long pill
grimage from Danville, Ky, to Cam
bridge, Mass. is not to muss UP lot
of crimson clad huskies who think they
know how to play football. but TO learn
to spell their Alma Mater. And before
they leave the lads from Centre Will
know it's "Center"-or Centre"
Exclaimed a non-partisan on the top
of the Palmer Stadium last Saturday
when cheers greeted the ammo uncement
that the score at the end of the third
priod at New Haven was Boston COLI
lege, 81 Yale. 9:
Beats me why students or one col
lepe cheer the defeat of another which
they are to meet in their biggest game
and when the captain of their team Is
the brother of the captain OF the de-
feated team l don't imagine Mike
Callahan is particularly joyful over the
defeat of his brothers team"
