GET EXCITED
OVER RUN|ON
Doubts II Organization Will
Keep Any Player From
Signing.

John ]. McGraw, vice president
and manager Of the New York
Giants, champions Of the world, is
not becoming alarmed over the pro-
posed union of major ,eague players.
"In the last twenty years. says
he, there haven't been five players
who really went through with their
threat to stay out Of baseball unless
their salary demands were met. 1
doubt II the players union seriously
considers any such move.
III the union wants to do some.
thing worth while. let II raise a fund
for Impoverished players. Some very
rathetic cases have been brought to
NV attention. Many old-time stars
have been discovered without a
penny to their names. Let the union
take it's dues and devote the money
to this cause instead Of spending II
for high salaries for the organizers
and delegates. The major leagues
will help, and many thousands of
dollars could be raised by an old
timers benefit game once a year.
"As far as Frisch Is concerned. 1t
amounts to nothing that one of my
players is either a member or an
officer of the union. AS far as l can
see. that is Of no importance at all.
II the players want to join, that is
their own business.

TIGER WORRIES
ABOUT LINE
MATERIAL
Princeton Again to Lose Foot
ball Stars in June
Exit.

A year ago the football outlook
AT Princeton was far from bright.
Many stars were lost through grad
uation. and Bill Roper had to build
an entirely new football structure.
Once again Princeton will lose
many prominent players in June
and the Tigers are already wonder
ing about next season. Just At
present Il looks as il there would
be a scarcity of strong line mate
rial.
The seven valuable players miss
ing from Princeton next season
will be Dickenson, Baker. Treat.
Thompson, Afford, Gray ana
Cleaves. Snively and Howard
guards; Griffin. center, and Stout,
Smith and Tillson, ends, are the
letter men who will be available
for the line next year.
Among the reserve material
ayailable for next season will be
Ruckner, Mcmillan, Paschal. Reyn'
olds, Bedell and Hemminger,
guards; Hills, Snyder. Troup and
Benedict, tackles, and Drews and
Tyson, ends.
The backfield material VIII be
better, although the loss OF Cleaves
is a heavy one. German. Dinsmore
and Wingate, Quarterbacks, will be
back, and others available for this
position are Henderson and Peg ZEN
kopf. Caldwell, Beattie. Crum and
Newly will be back, and also Ber'
gen. Emery. Van Gerbig and
Euwer.
All these players are experienced
and from the scrubs Nields. Shack
elford and Croft will be available
Also this years freshman talent

appear as II the Tigers had very
much to worry about.

MAY IS SHOWN
To Be GREAT
BY DOPE
Jake in Averages Has Nice
Mark, and He Sets Record
for Coast League.

Diminutive jake May, the terri
blist tiger of 'em ALL" not only led
the Pacific Coast League pitchers
to the wire in the seasons averages,
but he set a new league record by
winning thirty-five games out OF
fifty-three started and lost only
nine. Jake is giving the league the
''air" this year and will start with
the Chicago White Sox. The latter
club saw Bill Essick for $4,000 be.
fore May was released.
The Seals had an enviable rank
ing among the hurlers. oliver
Mitchell. the lank side-wheeler, was
up there with twenty-four won and
seven lost, for an average Of .774.
Jim Scott, the old Death Valley
Kid" came through with his best
season and ranked next to Mitchell.
In thirty-five games started, Jim
won twenty-five and lost nine. for
an average Of .735.
Elmer Ponder. the Angel phenom,
ranked far above the rest Of the
boys In the averages with 1913 to
his credit. Ponder took part in
only sixteen games, winning ten
and losing two, so on actual per-
formance he doesn't figure with the
rest of the boys.
Harrison Of Portland Is another
leader. but he started only eleven
times, won six and lost four for an
average Of .614.
Doug" McWeeney, Of the Seals,
and Harry Courtney didn't do SC
badly, although neither started in
as many games as Mitchell or
Scott. McWeeney came out with
an average of 6S2. starting thirty.
one times, winning fifteen and los.
ing seven, while Courtney went into
only eight games, took an average
of ia. winning five and losing
two.
Fred Coumbe had tough sea.
son. When Fred first came to the
coast he was figured among the
best Of them. He was dissatisfied
during the first part Of the year
and didn't like the climate. Dur
ing the latter part Of the season
though, he got his start and kept
going. He started in thirty-nine
games. won ten, lost seven for an
average of .68s.
Coleman, Of Portland, is the only
HEAVIER who hasn't a win to his
credit. He started seventeen times
and was credited with seven de.
feats before the season was over.
Pat Shea, another Seal hurler,
took off an average Of 800. Pat
rick started fifteen times, won six
and lost six. Shea should have a
much better year In 1923. Bob
Geary, the chunky Seal, knocked
off an average OF $50, which is
something to write home about,
considering the company Bob was
travelling in. He started forty-three
times. more than any other Seal
hurler.

At Lehigh they are unable to con-

ed. For the game, together, was
looked upon as the biggest fixture

Lehigh assumed athletic relations

to johnson City for the game, and
under the terms of the agreement,

Hamilton, N. Y.
In spite Of this, however, Lehigh
contends that since Colgate made
the Overtures for assuming football
relations they surely were expected
to honor the arrangements which
specify the same terms under which
Lehigh and Colgate met in the
opening game.

Harlow episode at Lehigh prior to

When Coach Ready left Lehigh
for Vermont, Lehigh obtained the
services of "Dick" Harlow, then a
member Of the board Of football

offered and accepted and a contract
was entered into. This was followed

Compliment to

Dean Briggs, who was toast
master, remarked that prior to
the coming of Percy Haughton
to Cambridge Harvard OCCASION
ally won q game from Yale
when the New Haven football
leader knew more about the
game than Walter Camp.
Percy Haughton took a shot
at the educators who have been
frowning on football when hc
said: "Let them come down to
see such games as Harvard and
Yale played this year and the
year before and note, the clean
est of games and ones which
reflect the splendid character
of the men engaged, and then
say that the football taught by

Joe Choynski Says
Fighters Hard
to Please

Joe Choynski, who recently
took a rap at some Of the old
time boxers, is even less COM
plimentary in regard to the
present set of ring stars. The
veteran declares there is not a
man in the country today who
knows how to box, including
Benny Leonard, generally con-
sidered the best Of modern
boxers. Leonard is a straight
puncher, but that is about the
limit of his boxing sikll," says
Choynski.. "One Of the funda-
mentals of boxing is the ability
to feint an opponent, draw a
lead and then hit him. There
is not a man in the ring today
who can do that. If there is
name him."
