CHAMPION EXTENDED
w. A. Kinsella Requires FiUe
Games to Win Match. ,

Conceding James Reid. the Crescent
Athletic Club professional, five aces per
game. Walter A. Kinsella, professional
squash tennis champion OF America.
had a hard time defeating his opponent
cn the Crescent courts yesterday. Reid
handled the titleholder's swiftest drives
with surprising ease and it was only
Kinsella's superior skill and endurance
in the latter half of the match that gave
him the victory. The tussle lasted two
and a half hours and went the limit of
five games, Kinsella winning the second
third and fifth. The score ended 15-17
lilo, 17--16 9--15, 15-10.
The contest was marked by spectacu-
lar getting. at which Reid showed to as
great advantage as the champion. The
latter hit the swifter ball, however. and
outlasted his rival In most of the rallies.
There Is certain to be return match
OF. February II on the courts OF the
Squash Club. where Kinsella Is the in
structor, and on that occasion Kinsella
will allow his opponent seven aces in
stead of five.

Was 1t Telcpathy.

Did mental telepathy. if there is such
thing, play part in recent big
deal in baseball players? If not. then
the long arm of coincidence did. Listen
to this true tale:
Just before William r. Baker. chief
owner of the Phillies, left for the jan
uary meetings in Chicago. he called
Donovan. his manager. to him and
said:
"Bill. as you know, various clubs have
been after us forNa year to get Rixey
from u.s.. They all seem to want him.
The Cincinnati club is one of the keenest.
don't want to part with Rixey unless
we can make a trade that will help us,
and know you don't
Hermann has been limiting that he'd
Ike to have Rixey and Is likely to make
en- offer at this meeting. Suppose you
give me the names of two men on his
club you think you'd he willing to take
for Rixey. so that II Hermann makes any
overtures / can name two men who'll
either strengthen our team or make him
shut UP with his propositions for Rixey."
Donovan wrote down two names and
gave them TO Baker. The latter said
nothing to Hermann. He never broached
a trade. The night before Baker left
for home Herman hunted him UP and
said he'd like to talk business with him
the next morning.
"All right" was the reply. "Tn be
around here until IL o'clock"
Hermann was on hand the next morn
ing. He got right down to business Moran
wanted Rixey. he said. and was pre-
pared to give a pitcher and an out
fielder for him. He named them. Baker
showed no particular interest. but in
wardly YOU could haya "l<nocIxed him
over with q feather" as he put II. The
two names were identicaily the same
that Donovan had written down, al
though Hermann and Moran never even
knew Baker and Donovan had so much
as discussed the matter. and those two
names we're:
Jimmy Ring and Greasy Neale."
Two weeks later the deal was con-
summated.

SQUASH TITLE Is
WON BY T. COWARD
Yale Club Player Defeats T.
S. Whitlock in Glass B
Tourney.

Thomas Coward of the Yale Club, IA
vored from the start to win the national
Glass B squash tennis championship.
lived UP to predictions by defeating Il. s.
Whitlock OF the Harvard Club in the title
round of the tournament on the Squash
Club courts yesterday. The match saw
the Harvard man at his best, but even
that was not good enough to prevail
against the calibre of game the winner
flashed throughout the tussle. Whitlock
earned one game. the second. but In the
other three Coward had quite safe
margin, as the score, 15-4, 10--15,
15-8. 15-9 indicates.
The tournament was Glass B, but the
exhibition of the fnalists was Glass A,
and not far removed from the standard
of play of those who rank close to the
top nationally. Whitlock made a great
fight of it. After a slow start in the
opening game he stcadied remarkably
and made very few errors. His surpris-
ing speed in court covering made it
necessary for Coward to earn his points,
and the ball had to be far out Of reach
to escape the Harvard graduates
racquet.
In the end it was Coward's superior
skill. his baffiing change OF pace and
harder hitting that told In his favor.
His attack was far more varied than
that of his opponent, and Whitlock found
himself outguessed time and again. The
fact that Coward scored 43 placements
and one service ace out of total of S5
points credited to him shows clearly
that he had to earn his points.
The rallies were fast and well sus-
tanned. In the only game that went to
Whitlock Coward scored points In the
first hand, his third run of in success
sion. Whitlock spurted. however, and
caught up with his rival In the sixth
hand, and took the lead a few minutes
later. He was never headed during the
remainder of the game, which lasted
nearly three times as long as the first.
Resuming the aggressive In the second
hand of the third game with a run of
points. all but one OF which were counted
on placement, Coward went out in front
and stayed there till the end Of the
match.

BY DANIEL.

The time was when the manager of
a major league baseball club was ex-
pected to lead his team, coach his play
ers and devise the scheme of strategy.
Most of the managers had to be one
of the active players too. But the
player-manager seems to be headed for
extinction-there will be only two
Cobb and Speaker--in the majors this
year. And the duties of the bench
manager, while NO doubt as onerous
as of yore, are not as diversified.
Judging from the trend among
major league clubs the coaching staffs
soon will be as large as those of the
big varsity football squads. The idea
is to divide the various duties, to have
a coach for the pitchers, coach for
the infielders and ofttimes coach for
the outfielders-all under the direct
supervision of the manager.
With the acquisition of Frank Roth.
once a good catcher with the White Sox,
the Yankees STAFF OF mentors for the
coming pennant race is complete. Rotn
will coach the young pitchers as well
as the recruit backstops, and those who
know him we'll declare that he Is an
admirable choice for the job. Frank Is
a brother of Bob, the new outfielder Of
the Yankees.
O'Leary Is Back.
Huggins also will have the help OF
Charley O'Leary. the old Detroit in
fielder, who was with the club last
season and demonstrated that the move
which brought him to the Yankees was
wise one, indeed. Huggins. OLeary
and Roth will constitute the big three
on the club-a trio corresponding to
John McGraw. Hughey Jennings ana
Jess Burkett of the Giants.
But Higgins will have the help OF
two others--Joe Kelley. one OF the
greatest outfelders in the history of the
game and a former major league man.
ager, and Bob Connery, former catcher
with ST. Louis and once minor league
leader. Kelley and Connery. In the
main, are scouts. But during the spring
training they will don uniforms and help
Huggins sort out his young players and
make better ones out of the veterans
The work of the coaches during the
Southern trip will be complex. as they
will have q big squad of youngsters to
handle--probably the biggest bunch of
kids which ever went South with the
New York Americans. There is mighty
little chance for any of the youngsters
to break into a regular job. The club
is not in a position to experiment with
untried material. for Huggins has been
instructed to go out and get that PEN
nant.

Notes From
Wildwood City Hall
BY A. F. LEIBY



The fifth and last regular meeting
of the Wildwood City Commissioners,
in November, was held last Tuesday
afternoon, the 10Th, the last day of the
eleventh month, but one-thus remind
ing all who note the flight of time that
the current year is drawing rapidly to
a close.
November saw this year, as usual,
the Thanksgiving time to come and
go; witnessed the elimination of the
annual football season and in addi-
ton, beheld the assembling in Wash
ington of the world conference on dis
armament, quite enough of American
events to be crowded into a period,
represented by only one-twelfth of the
space on the yearly calendar.
The attendance at this weeks meet
ing of the Commissioners was consid-
erably augmented over that of the
week before. One of the reasons for
this was thought to have been the in
terest aroused in Ordinances Nos. 126
IAN A-ts JUL u OoAhS up v
third and final reading on Tuesday
last. Opposition to the passage of one
or perhaps both of these measures had
been anticipated; but owing to devel-
opments of a different nature, these
ordinances were passed that day on
final reading, without any friction
whatever.
The meeting was called to order
at precisely 2 o'clock and the reading
of last weeks minutes called for. 1t
did not take long to get these out of
the way and the submission of the
weekly financial report was then the
next order of business. For the week
previous the receipts in the tax col
lector's Office and in the office of the
collector of water rents were given
as follows:

When the subject of communications
was reached, it was learned that the
city clerk had several of Importance
to offer.
A. G.. Mitchell, of Camden, superin-
tendent of the Pennsylvania Railroad
lines in New Jersey, wrote the Com
missioners to this effect:
81 have before me the report of our
representative who went to Wildwood
to look into the matter of the park
ing of engines, and / understand you
are aware of the action taken by them
in following out your suggestion that
the locomotives be parked during the
night in the vicinity of Baker avenue,

Davis and Holly Beach venues |

to all concerned.
"This solution of the problem seems
to be the most practicable one and l
trust this arrangement will eliminate
further complaints from this source.
81 appreciate very much the tanner
in which you have co-operated with US
in the matter and trust that, If at any
time. in the future there be anything
in connection with this OIL any other
feature of our operation that you feel
is in need of correcting, you will not
hesitate to write me concerning them,
so that necessary action may be
taken"
This letter was ordered received and
filed and the city clerk directed TO
mail a copy of same to each OF the
complainants in the vicinity where the
engines were formerly parked.
Writing to the Wildwood Commits
sioners from Newark, under date OF
November 2Sth, Philander Belts, chief
inspector of the State Bureau of Util-
tiles, had this to say:
s.your letter of 22d in reference to

To Do Over a Ceiling.

Several readers have asked me to
write an article on doing over a
ceiling, saying that they knew how
to paper room but not how to
whiten the ceiling
OF course the ceilings of room
cannot be done unless the walls are
also to be done over. for the walls are
likely to be SplaShed. The first step
is to remove all the portable pieces S
of furniture from the room; take
down pictures. shades and curtains;
take up rugs and cover the floor with
thick layers of newspaper; and throw
sheets over any furniture that must
remain in the room.
The next step is to wash off tho
ceiling with large sponge w:ung
fairly dry after being dipped into cold
water, If you are tall enough. you
can stand on a kitchen table TO do
this work-this is better than a step
ladder because it gives one Il large r
working area. A bowl filled with
cold water should also stand on the
table. so that you can rinse the
sponge from time to time without
getting down from your elevation.
This thorough sponEinG of the ceiling
is necessary. so as to remove dust Gin
a kitchen, grcaSe) and peellng of the
surface or any old finish which still
remains on.
The third step is to mix the
mareScO powder with warm water.
Put five cups of the powder in a
large vessel and add six cups of wa
ter to it; stir with a stick (don't get
it on the hands) until the Jumps have
disappeared. A brush seven inches
