Western Plays Three
Games In Four DaYs

When the Western A. C. dribblers
take the floor tonight after a weeks
idleness they will make up for lost
time by jamming three games in
four games in preparation for the
big date New Year Day against the
Faith quint Of Baltimore.
Tonight the Westerners will enter
tain their followers at the Peck
gym by playing the Park View
A. c. Tomorrow night Manager
Frank Athey will send his flock
against the Columbia A. C. In the
Wilson Normal School Earlier In
the season the Columbia outfit held
Western to deadlock. The Black
Spots will get a smack at Western
Saturday night in the Peck gym.
Judging bv past performances,
the Faith quint of Baltimore is the
strongest team booked to play in
the Peck gym to date. The Orioles
are leading their league at home,

fensive. and after sixty-seven rounds
forced the giant to acknowledge de-
feat. The big man was carried
from the ring in a pitiable condi-
tion, while Coburn's friends lifted
him on their shoulders and went
on their way celebrating. Their
idol had turned an apparent defeat
into a wonderful victory, SO they
felt II was proper to rejoice. Co
burn wasn't unmarked, for he
stopped many a blow. but his
strategy aided him to dodge the
extra heavy hard ones.
This fight bears out my conten-
ton about height not being such a
tremendous advantage. Coburn
wasn't very brilliant in execution,
but was a quicker thinker than his
rival. BY his use of his brain he
made things equal and then it was
no effort for him to triumph And
IL can be done NOWADAYS by any
man in any walk of life. Use your
train whether in the ring or out
side and you can overcome big OBJ
stacles, Just as Joe Coburn did
when he fought Mike McCoole.

BOB EMSLIE
is RETIRED
BY HEYDLER
Veteran Umpire, After 81 Years
of Service, Will Act as Gen.
eraI Supervisor.

A FTER thirty-one years of
~ service as an umpire in the
- National League, Bob Ems
lie was retired at the close of the
annual meeting of that circuit.
While Emslie's name was taken
of the list of active umpires, he
was not by any means dismissed.
The league appointed him adviser
to John A. Heydler and general
supervisor of umpires.
Heydler's statement on the
matter was as follows:
In appreciation of his long and
faithful service. the National
League has appointed Umpire Bob
Emslie in an advisory capacity to
the president. Only in extreme
emergency will the veteran umpire
be called upon to again take his
post on the field.
TO INSTRUCT UMPIRES.
IN his new position, Emslie will
aid not only in the development
and instruction of young umpires
but his experience as a playing rule
expert will continue to be of serv-
Ice to the league and to baseball
generally
"Emslie umpired his first game
in the senior league at Cincinnati,
August 20. 1891. and for more than
thirty-one consecutive seasons he
has given his best in this most
trying Of professional callings. He
has been rated as the postmaster
OF patience and diplomacy among
baseball officials, and his honesty
has never been questioned
STARTED AS PITCHER.
Prior to taking up umpirins
Emslie was pitcher. his first work
Of note being with the Guelph
Maple Leafs. His professional
career covered from 1882 to 1887,
his clubs being Camden, Baltimore,
Toronto and Memphis. He was
considered the greatest curve ball
pitcher Of his time. and in 1884 he
pitched fifty-one games for Balti-
more, of which but eighteen were
lost. In 1886 his arm weakened
and in 1887 Charles D. White, then
president Of the old international
League. appointed him as umpire.
.Emslie is a Canadian. He was
born in Guelph. Ontario, and has
resided in the Dominion ever since.
For nearly half a century he has
been a respected and honored citi-
zen OF st. Thomas, Ontario.

Giants Will PLAY
For WaddeII
Monument

WHILE the Gaints are
w down in San Antonio
next March it is likely that
they will play an exhibition
game with the home club
of the Texas League or
some other outfit to provide
a monument over the grave
Of Rube Waddell. It was in
San Antonio that the eccen-
trio left handler succumbed
to tuberculosis in April,
1914. He lies in the Mis-
sion Burial Park, the grave
marked only by a wooden
headboard from which the
name of the once famous
pitcher almost has been OBJ
liberated.
Harry Benson, owner of
the San Antonio club, has
started a movement to build
a monument over Waddell's
resting place and the Giants
no doubt will be asked to
help. Waddell was one of
the greatest and one of the
most picturesque pitchers in
the history of baseball.

COURT STARS
DEMAND COIN
FOR PLAYING
CeItics Too High Priced for
Oldest Professional Basket
ball League in Operation.

q ONE professional basketball
- stars are drawing down as
~ much for their services on
the court as the high-priced base
ball gents.
The original New York Celtics.
booked to exhibit their wares in
washington In January, are too
hieh-priced for the Eastern League,
the Oldest professional court league
in operation.
Philadelphia broadcasts the news
that the Celtics, who have been
claiming Atlantic City as their home
twice a week on the Eastern wheel,
nave deserted the shore resort.
This is Atlantic City's first sea
son on the Eastern League circuit.
The Shore promoters. who are said
to be new In basketball, figured
they would step out the first year
and cop the championship. They
hired the Celtics to represent the
Shore in the two league games a
week.
so Tar as winning games was con.
cerned the NCeltics performed "as
advertised" but after a few games
the Atlantic City promoters real.
lied that they could not afford to
pay the New Yorkers what they
were worth or what they thought
they were worth.
The wearers OF the green are
not bit backward in their de.
mands for their services. Accord
ing to the yarn out of Philadelphia.
they demanded so much for every
game played in the Eastern League.
The figure is placed at $500 a
night.
Remember, this club plays seven
nights a week from the first week
in October until the latter part OF
March. In addition. a matinee
game is played in the Madison
Square Garden every Sunday. For
a months services the club pulls
down $4,000.
These figures show that the Gel.
tics are not in the game for their
health. And Eddie Bratburd. the
Yankee manager will swear TO
this.
Last week Eddie got in touch
with Jim Furey. the manager of
the New York high-priced court

to q proposition to bring his col
lection here he said to Brutburd,

Whether basketball has reached
the point Of popularity where bank

to the players remains to be seen.

BADGER COURT
CHANCES ARE
NOT BRIGHT
Loss of Taylor and Caesar,
Forwards, will Be Felt at
Wisconsin This Season,

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 26.-Wis-
V consin's basketball prospects
are not very bright this year.
Caesar and Taylor, forwards on
last years team, both graduated
last spring, and their positions
will be hard to fill. Coach "Doc"
Meanwell's chief worry is in find
ing some one to take their places.
Les Gage. substitute forward and
center Of last year, is the most likely
candidate for one forward job. He
is an excellent basket shot, but his
rather slight build lays him open
to question on his ability to stand
the work Of a hard game. Elsom
now seems to be the choice for the
other forward position because Of his
shooting ability. Barwig, a new.
conner and a fighter, is however,
giving him a hard run. Barrels and
Wackman are being tried at this
position and show signs Of promise.
At center the Badgers have Glib
son, who held the place last year.
He Is big, rangy fellow, and, with
last seasons experience behind him,
should be a valuable asset to the
team this year. No real substitute
center has yet been uncovered and
Gage Is shifted to center whenever
Gibson leaves the scrimmage.
Capt. Gus Tebell and Rollie Will
iams are at guard again. and Coach
Meanwell has little to worry about
in that department. Both men have
had two years experience at this
position, and they have good records
as high-class performers. Tebell
plays the standing guard position
and Williams works the running
game.
The dribblins and pivot of Will.
iams made him the OUTSTANDING
guard of the conference last year,
and the fans look for even better
play wing from him this season. Sub.
| stitutes for this part Of the machine
are also scarce, and Barwig is shift.

a substitute 10 needed.

Badger schedule this winter. These
teams have practically the same
lineup as last year. when both
ranked high in the conference stand.

with Wisconsin may determine their

EGAN REPLIES
TO SLAMS AT
HAWK PREPS
Says 1S-Pound Champions
Gave Every Team a Chance
to Shoot at Title.
EDDIE "HARDNEY"

1APTAIN EDDIE "HARDNEYr
EGAN; peppery leader Of
the Mohawk Props, who are
defending the 145-pound football
championship, hoped into the
sports department last night on a
bum ankle, to answer the demand
Of the Waverly A. C. and st. Te-
resa for recognition.
We want a clear claim to the
title" barked the young Mr.. Egan,
In explaining that his Little Hawks,
won the championship of their class
this year and are defending the
crown this season, instead OF be.
ing contender.
When we started to arrange our
schedule for this year, we intended
giving all clubs in our class a
chance at the title. Some of the
teams that had been booked can.
celed games with but a few days
notice, saying that they would
rather play later in the season and
he Preps were idle three or four
Sundays which was a great handi
az to the team.
Just as this series has been ar.
ranged the Props had played all
teams in this class with the excep
ton of the Kanawhas and Stan
tons and regardless of the records
of the two teams mentioned they
are entitled to a chance at the title
as well as st. Teresa and the other
clubs.
I'm regards to the challenge OF
the st. Teresa and Waverly A. C.
the former failed to beat us; as for
the latter We offered them games
on our schedule on two occasions
during the season, but they refused
saying that they were in the 1876
pound class.
The Props have tried in every
way to cooperate with other clubs
in promoting amateur sports minus
all the wrangling which hurts sand
lot games and will continue to dc
so in the future, hoping that the
other clubs will give them theiI
support" concluded Egan.
After getting the above off his
chest on one long breath, the Hawk
gridiron boss left with a request fol
