Eddie Butler, noted Cornell athlete,
has been appointed by Frank S. Gargen,
graduate manager of athletics, as coach

Butler has already assumed his duties
and was out with the court candidates

Butler is man we'll qualified for this
position. He played for three years on
the Cornell varsity five, starring at one
Of the forward positions. Butler has
also played with the Crescent A. c., and
even took hand in coaching that team.
Butler, while at Cornell, also played
catcher on the baseball nine and quar-
terback in the football team.
The basketball team is coming for

''PrO" Basketball
Games ON SUNDAY
Ruled Not Illegal
Magistrate Ceismar Decides
Court Game Comes Tn
der Baseball Amendment

Playing basketball on Sunday and an
admission charge to such games are not
illegal so long as the public peace is not
disturbed" Thus ruled Magistrate
Alexander Geismar in the Fifth Ave
nue. court yesterday when he dismissed
ten defendants connected with the
Brooklyn Dodgers, which club stages
contests at Prospect Hall every Sum-
day afternoon and evening during the
basketball season.
This decision, which substantiates a
ruling in a similar case rendered by
Magistrate Levine in the Yorkville
court, is regarded as signal victory
for those interested in the popular
midwinter sport.
Magistrate Levine in his decision
expressed an opinion that when the
playing of baseball was made legal on
Sunday basketball was also meant to
be included, though only baseball was
specifically mentioned. And this opin-
ion was upheld yesterday by Magis-
trate Geismar.
"Until April, 1919" he said, at was
considered against the law to give any
sporting exhibition for money on Sun
day. But then the Legislature passed
an amendment permitting Sunday base
ball" Basketball, 1T has been the con-
tention of it's supporters, is merely
the midwinter substitute for the sum-
mer sport.
1t is believed the decision of yester-
day will have q favorable bearing on
the cases against the Original Celtics
and that of the Italian Catholic Club,
which are to come up respectively on
December 10 and II in the Yorkville

Minors to Ask Strict
Optional agreement

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Half score
Of men prominent in organized
baseball departed tonight for Buff
falo. where the meeting of the Ma
tional Association of Minor Leagues
will open tomorrow.
Included in the party were Presi-
dent Tom Hickey of the American
Association, President William Nc
Carthy of the Pacific Coast League,
President Doak Robertson of the
Texas League, President A. X. Tear
ney of the Western and Three-Eye
leagues, George Belding of the
Minneapolis American Association
team and Mike Kelly, manager of
the st. Paul club of the American
Association.
The minor league owners, accord
ing to President Tearney, are pre-
pared to battle with the major
clubs for the enforcement of the
agreement clause regarding op-
tional players. At present the clubs
are allowed eight men, but accord
ing to Mr.. Tearney, there are many
violations.

seemed to think that the suspension

$25,000 Deal Reported
Garry Hermann is said to have con-
summated deal with the San Fran
cisco club Of the Pacific Coast League
which involves the payment Of $25 900
and the transfer of three or four
players in return for Cavenay, short
stop of the Frisco team.
Scouts who have been watching
for several major league combinations
remarked to the writer to-day that he
is Gust ball player and will never

Reds undoubtedly have the purchasing

that the transaction involved any such

Making Ready
For Coast Came
Coach Neale's Players in
Fine Condition After
Hard Contest at Detroit
Fron, a special correspondent

WASHINGTON, Pa, Dec. 5.-The
Washington and Jefferson football
squad returned home to-day from
Detroit highly elated over its triumph
on Saturday. All the members had
nothing but praise for the treatment
they received in the automobile city
last week. With tho Detroit game out
OF the way the coaches and players will
now get down to the business of pre-
pairing for the journey to California.
Coach Earle Neale has practically
one week in which to groom his men
for the long trip to Pasadena, as the de-
The game with the University Of Cali
fornia will be played on January 2.
Fortunately most Of the players
came through the strenuous struggle at
Detroit in splendid condition and are
ready to start work for the California
game. Several of the players are
nursing slight bruises, which however,
will not prevent their participating in
light. practice.
Coach Praises Players
Coach Neale had little to say regard
ing the outcome Of the Detroit contest,
nor about the California tussle. APP
parently things resulted about as were
expected. Neale was pleased of course,
but showed little emotion. He gave
credit to the players for their fine vic
tory and sad they had played hard,
fighting game and had used excellent
judgment.
The coach did announce though that
plans for practice the next week had
been changed. Daily drills will start
on Wednesday instead of Thursday, as
originally stated. 1t is not likely that
any stiff scrimmages will be held, al
though one or two short struggles be-
tween the varsity and the scrubs will
take place.
Neale will devote most of the time
in perfecting plays and in getting the
players in the best condition before the
start is made for the Coast.
Fasteners Improving O6ense
More time will be spent in working
on offensive plays than on defense
Neale apparently is quite satisfied with
Detroit in this respect The Michigan
eleven was able to make only one first
down during the entire afternoon and
seldom threatened the goal line Of the
Washingtonians.
However, W. and J.'s forward pass
ing game and running attack can stand
improvement, and inasmuch as Cali
fornia's stalwart eleven is likely to
prove strong barrier to any running
attack the locals may put on, the
chances are the Presidents will plan
to develop the next week in perfectine
the overhead game.
Considerable attention also will be
given to the kicking game. It is re-
ported that California has couple of
extraordinary punters, so that the best
kicking W. and j. can produce will be
needed to give the Red and Black an
even chance in this respect.
Brenkert and Erickson have done ex-
ceptionally we'll in kicking and are ex-
pected to hold their own against the
best California has to offer. So far as
fundamentals go Washington and JEFF
ferson is well grounded, and there
will be no worry on this score. In
fact, it is perfection in the fundamen-
tails. tackling, following the ball and
interference which are mostly respon-
sible for Washington and Jsfferson's
success this year.
