RESERVE LEAGUE.
FOR schools HERE
Second-Team Circuit Probably
Will Take Place Of Proposed
Freshman Schedule
DELAPLAINE IS ON THE JOB
by PAUL PREF

TfIE proposed Freshman Baseball
L League for the Philadelphia public
high schools probably never will see
light. But a reserve league. similar to
that in the basketball circuit. may be
launched.
At the present time conditions are
so congcstcd in the high schools that
freshmen attend classes at different
hours. At one school, in particular,
the yearlings do not attend their first
class until ~ o'clock, and are dismissed
ut ) o'clock
Therefore, it is impossible for the
boys to play their games after school.
They could play IN the mOrping, but II
is difficult TO get the time so arranged
as to be suitable to all teams con-
cerned.
However. the high schools will have
freshman teams, and games are being
erranged. Most Of the institutions will
be- able to schedule games with each
other. but it's different when it comes
to making up league schedule.
Delaplaine Behind Move
To get back to the reserve league
idea, Roy W. Dclaplnine. physical di-
rector at the West Philadelphia High
School. says he's going t" try t? get
the circuit under way. Northeast
High, Germantown High. Frankford
High and Central High have formed
teams and arranged games between
themselves. They use their schools
diamonds when the varsity teams are
travelling.
"I think 1t will be good stunt to
start q reserve league said Mr.. Dela-
plainc. "ln the past we have only
paid attention to our varsity teams.
This left us without much experienced
material for the next season. and we
were out of luck. But with the reserve
league it will be different. We will be
able to see the boys in actual compe-
tition. and will be able to get line on
our material for the next season.
Coach Ellis, of West Philadelphia
freshman team, has arranged four
games TO date. Three of these contests
will be played in the morning. while the
other will take place in the afternoon:

FANS APPROVE Of
NEW FOUL SCHEME
Plan Of Man Making Foul Toss
ing Same Makes Game
Cleaner
CELTS DEFEAT P0TTERS

THE new scheme of tossing basketball
L fouls whereby the man making the
offense tosses for the goal was tried
out last evening in the preliminary
game at Knights Of Columbus Hall,
Thirty. eighth and Market streets, be-
tween Columbus Council and Parkway.
In the big contest which followed
between st. Nicks. Of Atlantic City,
and Tri Council, the old method was
used MS the visitors objected to the new
wrinkle.
The scheme in the initial tryout
proved a big success, and the fans
thought IL great stunt. Before the
game an announcement was made re-
garding the innovation, it being ex-
plained II the man tossing for the goal
missed it counted a point for the Op-
posing side.
In the first few tosses the man
making the throw aimed at his own
basket. but Phil Lewis halted the game
long enough to explain that he should
throw at his opponent basket and ex-
planned why.
Cleaner Team Wins
Many persons have ridculed the new
scheme and yet the toplnost authorities
in basketball have given It their ap-
proval. 1t proved beyond Il doubt that
the cleaner team will win every time
and 1t will also have Il tendency to
reduce fouling and rough work. This
was plainly evident to all present.
But the new plan should be given
further test and It would be a fine
idea IL several Of the larger clubs would
adapt the method for test. In the
first half Columbus missed seven out Of
nine tosses and five out OF eleven in the
final half. The Parkway boys missed
eight out Of thirteen In both halves.
They won by the score Of 1G to 12 be-
cause they played clean game and did
not make fouls.
In the other game of the night St.
Nicks. Of Atlantic City. Won from Tri-
Council, % TO 16. The local bows
finished the first half in the lead. 10
to y. and scored three points ut the
start OF the final period, but then S..
Nicks located the rim and sent n shower
Of two pointers into the net and won
easily.
Celts Pull Surprise
The New York Celtics furnished q
hlg surprise when they won the first
game in the series for the Eastern Bas :
kctball League play off by defeating the
Potters on their own floor last night. "a
to 20.
With Dutch Dehnert out OF the
lineup. it was figured that the Pot.
ters had Il cinch, especially at home,
but Tom Barry, the substitute, was
the hero. and 1t was his fine playing
that sent the Celts back to Gotham
with q four point win. The second
game will be played there tonight and
the third In Camden II necessary.
The score at half time was 16 to II
the New Workers. getting the advantage
always three or four points to the good
in the final period. "Stretch" Meehna
