 grabbed several players. Marnell, right fielder who played with Fordham last year, has been snagged together with a FOrdham battery answering to the names of McNamara and COusineau They will not be available until next June. Sch

Pennsy Hopes to
 Receive Entry of
 Commercial High

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 27.-Five more scholastic institutions have sent their entries to the sponsors for the interscholastic basketball tournament to be held under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania. The new entrants include Bryn Athyn Acad emy, Moorestown Friends, Moravian Prep, Brown Prep and Conshohocken High School.
 While no entries have been received to date from Passaic High, possessor of 68 straight victories; Duval Higl School, of Jacksonville, which stands at the head of Florida high schools and Commercial High School, of New Haven, Conn, claimant of the New England championship, nevertheless there are hopes in the breasts of the managers of this indoor classic that these institutions will appear in the tournament
 The fact that Bryn Athyn Academy will enter the University of Penn tournament will be hailed with joy by all the sport lovers and scholastic fans in this section, but probably will cause much wailing and gnashing of teeth by the coaches who will be asked to place their teams against the Academy warriors.

WRESTLING GAME IS GETTING BUMPS
 ABOUT NEW YORK
New Boxing Law Puts Sport Of the Map Into the
 Also Rans

Wrestling has been dumped for one bad fall after another since boxing came back to New York.
 Before the State Legislature put the Walker Bill on the books, the fight bugs had to use the tube over to Jersey to see the boys using the gloves and during that period, the "rasslers" went big in Man hattan and made large money.
 Then came the boxing law, which in effect ran the rasslers to the bush league territory, where they could work just as much, but for not nearly so much.
 Wrestling still has a large following in New York, despite the general inn pression that it is fake game operated by union of hippodrome artists. Why New Workers continue to pack the arm ories at wrestling matches can be ex- plained perhaps by referring to the two six-day bike races annually that are dol lar harvests for the promoters.
 After boxing had been legalized Al bany" refused to allow the use of state armories for boxing or wrestling and then the "rasslers" had no place to work outside of Madison Square Garden, where Jack Curley couldn't get in be- hind a battalion of shock troops.
 Finally Tex Rickard decided that he would try his hand at the mat game. His first show between Pesek and Pies tina resulted in a big scandal in which 1t was breezed around that the alleged head of the trust, sent Pesek i'll to ruin the show by foul tactics.
 Rickard refused to quit and arranged a Zbyszko-Lewis match for the worlds championship.
 Early in the match, Zzyszko was slapped on the back by the referee and told that he had won the first fall. The champion and Lewis both wanted to know-"How come?" The official then told them that rolling and flying falls were recognized by the commission.
 Ricl1ard went after a Stecher-Cad- dock match and both told him they d push blows for the rest of their days before they'd agree to anything but a pin fall. Other prominent grapplers are taking the same stand. The result is these is no wrestling in the big town.
 The Boxing Commission, which also has charge of wrestling, says the fall ing fall is the great blow against crooked wrestling and the honest wrestlers, who always fight for the sanctity of the game claim it is the one thing that would make it easy to fake match.
 The bone crushers, of course, can keeE on doing their stuff out around the les: beaten paths, but they can't get the money for six matches that they could get fol a couple of hours toll in New York.

TEACHERS SHOULD NOT SUFFER.

Several OF the schools of Pensacola.
have SO far failed to come anywhere
near raising their quota to carry on
the work for the continuance of the
school term
In several OF these schools the pa
irons have made the proposition that
II the teachers would cut their salaries
a certain proportion they would raise
the money, but that 1t could not be
done otherwise.
There are some Of the schools of the
city where a number OF the patrons
are really unable to pay the tuition OF
their children, and yet the law compels
them to send their children to school.
so the situation is very difficult in the
extreme.
But certainly. whatever the outcome
may be, 1t seems manifestly unfair to
take advantage of this extremity to
cut the salary Of any of the teachers,
particularly at this late day.
Had the warning been given earlier,
1t may be that the teachers could have
saved something for rainy day. But
as it is now, they have not those saw
ings to fall back upon, nor their salar-
les TO look forward to.
There can be no doubt that some
how, some way, the present unfortu
nate condition will be taken care Of
but it would seem to be most unfair to
cut the salaries of the teachers to con-
tlnue the pupils in school for the full
term.
The Journal does not abelieye that
this will be necessary for the success
full carrying out of the school program,
and there seems to be a general, feeling
OF confidence that some way will be
worked out by the school board and
the public to. fully protect the teachers
in this matter.
