SPORT BRIEFS

Yale frowns on her athletes enter
ing professional sport, football in
particular. Not so much objection
is made to baseball. Football, how
ever. is regarded as a sport of the
colleges, and for that reason the coll
lege authorities do not care to have
the game professionalism. Aldrich.
who captained the Yale football
team, is a great shortstop, as well
as a wonder halfback. He has re-
ceived a number of offers from ma
jor league clubs. He is giving them
serious consideration.
Dave Danforth, who is TO get an
other chance TO show in the Ameri-
can League, has a great opportunity
ahead. If he can prove a consistent
winner for the st. Louis Browns. he
may be the means of hat club win
ming an American League pennant.
. =
Almost every major league club
is anxious to make some kind of a
deal that will land a good southpaw.
Never has there been quite the
dearth of high class 1eft-handers as
exists in both the American and Ma
tional League at the present time.

MINOR LEAGUES HAD
STRENUOUS TIME IN 1921

Minor league baseball had a
rather strenuous year of it in 1921.
Most of the leagues in an effort
10 provide better baseball, carried
a salary list that made it impossible
to show a profit at the close of the
season.
A desire TO sell their players at
fancy prices caused a number of
tie minors to refuse to fall for the
draft rule. They are not to be
blamed for that attitude consider
ing the real money the majors
handed out.
very wise move for the major league
~magnates to operate a couple of
minor league clubs, in addition to
their major franchise.
A minor league team would en-
able the major magnates to have a
school for their young players. A
eteran player noted for his ability
to develop youngsters could be
placed in charge of the team as
manager. Such a player could carry
out the wishes of the major league
club he represented.
Under the present arrangements
G major league club usually affili-
ates itself with various minor league
clubs of different classifications.
In some cases these alliances have
proven very valuable.
However, If a major league club
tccntrolled its own minor league
connection it could dictate the poll
icy that it desired the minor league
manager to follow.
Often a players future value de-
Ponds on his early baseball training.

according to the two hand dribble
rule, and although the Standard OIL
employees held a big lead throughout
the greater part of the game. the
contest was much faster than the
score would indicate.
At half time the Bayway players
led by a score of ALA, a final squirt
of the visiting combine reducing the
lead of the home players to sever
points. In the second half the Stan

NANNEN WRITES AGAIN
REGARDING SEPARATES

The following letter has been re-
ceived from. A. Nannen of Carteret
regarding a Speedway-Rooseyelt
Separates series:
Carteret, n. j.
Dec. 81, 1921.
Editor Evening News.
perth Amboy, n. J.
Dear Sir:
at notice in your paper of Deem
Der 20. 1921, an answer to the letter.
I sent you n few days ago. 1t seems
to me as though the answer given by
J. j. Doyle as manager of the Speed
ways. is not justified as I never stat
ed that the Speedways were afraid
to play the Separates. but did say
that I think it would be a good thing
IL the two managers could get to-
gether and arrange a series as l
know we Lave a team here that can
uphold the borough in basketball
as good as u representatives in the
other branches of sport.
mr.. Doyle mentions a few of the
teams that the Speedways have beat
en-. All well and good, but unfortun-
atelv there is only one team on the
list that the Separates have played
so far. namely George Wards Fight
ing Five of Elizabeth and they beat
them worse than the ~Speedways, and
remember. the Separates played
them on an Elizabeth court which
ought to mean a little.
A far as the other teams go that
the Speedways claim they will play,
SO will the Separates play them.
yours in sport,
ALFRED NASTNEN."
It is hoped that this cdmmunica-
ton will end the discussion regard
ing a series or a game between the
two teams. IF a series or q game be-
tween the two teams is conceivable.
the managers should get together on
the matter.

The Rovers are said to be the
strongest combination Of tossers hail
ing from the Metropolitan district to
appear against the Y M. H. A. team
this season. Schiller performed with
the Martinique Big Five, while How
ard played with this old time Rovers;
Wollins, arother forward, is a men,
Der of the Remington Big Five quin-
tet. The fact thac Schilder plays
with the Parsons Big Five, speaks
for itself. Klimpner brothers are
members O. the CID time Rovers,
while Mas tin. another guard, plays
with the Remington Big Five
1t is said that this combination
broke even in two games played with

will be remembered that the Separ-
ates defeated the Y. NJ. III. A. team
on the local court in a decisive fash
ion some time ago.
Captain Sher, who was injured a

in the game tonight With Sher in
the lineup the home team should be
considerably strengthened. Parker
and Schwsitzman will probably be
started in the advanced positions,
with Daitz and Karkus also prepar-
ed for first line duty. YAK" Low

The Woodbridge team was defeat
