PHI KAPPA Psi

Defeat Phi Kappa Sigma in
Series Of Basketball
Contests

MoRGANT0WN, March b.
Showing splendid form in the
championship series the Phi Kappa
Psi fraternity quint won the In
terfraternity title at West Virginia
University by winning two out of
three games from the Phi Kappa
Sigma tossers In the title series.
The. Phi Psl's won the first game
of the series 1920, while the PEI.
Kaps came back and won the Sec
ond 24-1S only to lose the third
24-18. Ali three games were we'll
played and while neither team
showed any individual stars the
work Of Eugene Berry, OF the Phi
Kaps, and Jack Snyder, Of the
Phi Psls, stood out conspicuously
in each battle.
Eleven teams competed in the
internationally league race which
was as usual very close the Phi
Kaps winning in League "a" by a
margin OF one game over the Sig
ma Phi Epsilon outfit and the "B''
section, campaign resulting in tie
between the Kappa Alpha and Phi
Psi machines. In a play-off the
Phi Psis defeated the X. A. and
earned the right to compete in the
finals.
It IS doubtful II a single Mayer

dual stars were lacking. Each fra-
ternity stressed teamwork and for
this reason sensationalism was
sacrificed. However more than a
hundred men secured valuable ex-
perience and some Of them will
undoubtedly be candidates for the
Varsity next season. Captain Bill
Hopke, Jack Snyder. James Fitch
Phil Johnson and Bob Riley COM
posed the Phi Psi lineup while
Captain Fred Stone, Newton Mont
gomery. Eugene Berry. William
Marsh and Hudson Chandler play,
ed regularly for the Phi Kaps.
Tho Yokes captured the Univer-
sity non-fraternity basketball
championship by trimming the
Hayes outfit 1928 in the final con
test Of three game series. In the
previous games each team had nm,
nexed win by the score OF ISIS.
In this league, as in the fraternity
circuit, great stress was placed on
teamplay. This was shown in the
final game when nine Of the tel
men who participated figured in
the scoring. Stein, Summers, Kalt.
enback, Murphy and Clarity were
members Of the champion Yoke
outfit and all played good game.

CONNIE MACK HAS
DISCOVERED STAR.
Where does Ia get the.m1

Where does he get themR
That IS the old refrain every
time Connie Mack springs some
new phenom.
Connie Is positive he has another
star in Johnny Berger. The young.
ster Is catcher.
No one in American League cir.
cles ever heard Of Johnny Berger.
Yet Mack has already gone on re.
cord as stating that Berger was
his second string catcher.
That means he gets the prefer
ence over Johnny Walker, who has
been with the Athletics a couple
Of seasons. Last year Walker
played first base almost entirely.
Here Is the story OF how. Mack,
picked up Johnny Berger, who he
says he is certain to develop into
Just as good a catcher as Cy Per-
kins.
Last year tho Athletics trained
at Lake Charles. La. That is the
home Of Berger. During the train
ing period Berger assisted the
other catchers in working out the
pitchers. He played with Lake
Charles last season.
Mack invited him to Eagle Pass
to again help him. He soon found
Berger a much improved youth.
When you get young catcher who
does not fight the ball he bears
watching.
The first real surprise came in
a game between the Yanigans and
Regulars when Berger caught
Roy Moore, the left handler, whose
service is the hardest to handle Of
any pitcher on the staff.
Berger caught Moore as IL he.
handled him all his life and Mack,
took him aside and signed him to
a contract. He then told the news.
paper men that Berger was a real
find and would catch all games
when Perkins wasn't behind the
bat.
Berger is a fine thrower and a
hard hitter. Mack is positive he
will hit major league pitching. He
Is cool behind the bat and seems
to handle any kind of pitching
without any great effort,

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
JACKSONVILLE. Feb. 16. -
Major James Edward Monroe.
- 106 years old and self-styled
fifth son of the fifth President OF
the United States, pleaded guilty
in the police court to-day to being
drunk and disorderly. He said that
he had taken a little too much
moonshine whisky. Judge Beck
man suspended sentence. The
Major said he didn't see any rea-
son why laws should be made to
stop a man from taking just a
little. He said he was drunk, but
it was because of his age, as it
never had that effect upon him be-
fore.
Major Monroe attributes his
health to the use OF kerosene in
rubbing his limbs II suffering from
a bad cold and the use OF liquor in
small quantities. with plenty of
outdoor exercise. He lives in
houseboat in the principal residence
section.
