grace WANTS
TO WIN GAMES
Church League Five Man
ager Objects TO Inference
of Handing Title"
is BOUND BY
LEAGUE RULES

Jim Chandler, manager and cap
tain of the Grace basketball team,
winners of the First Division cham
plonshlp in the Church League. and
contenders for the league and State
title. in telephone communication
with the Sports Editor OF The Even
ing Journal this morning, took ex-
ception to the article appearing in
The Morning News this morning,
headed. Showdown VS.. Sportsman
ship" Chandler took especial ex-
ception to the question asked in bold
type, rs Grace to be Handed the
Church League Title Without a
Struggle?"
Mr.. Chandler pointed out that the
Grace team had nothing to do with
the arrangements for the series. He
said they accepted the ruling and
dates as handed down by Director
Sylvanus and the Church League and
that Grace was ready and willing to
play. abiding by all official rulings.
They don't have to hand any
thing to the Grace basketball team"
was his way OF putting II.
THE inference that we are being
handed anything Is entirely unfair
and is a slam at the good name OF
Grace in sports and everything else"
Among other things pointed out
by Mr. Chandler is the fact already
known that Grace has players who
are signed with other teams but
loyal enough to be on hand for
their games in the Churcr League
when their services are needed. In
circumstances where II was impos-
sble for the men to appear others
OF the Grace squad took their place.
One instance Chandler explained
was when Billy Greenwood. ac-
knowledged az one of the best play
ers in the Grace lineup II not in the
entire State was booked TO play with
his college quintet. Drexel. on the
same evening that Grace was op-
posed to its closent contender and
rival - BiSndywine Greenwood
played with Drexel and his position
was filled by n second string man.
Everybody should he fully ac-
quainted with the fact that the
Grace team does not have TO have
anything handed them. We'd rath-
er see old swedes show up in full
strength. At the same time we in
| tend TO abide by all official rulings
as we have been and are supporting
Director Sylvanus in his show down.
There are those who evidently are
not acquainted with the meaning OF
the word sportsmanship, either that
or they are careless in its use"
