According to James the same
teams that appeared at the Polo

There seems TO be something of

frHCuCally the ent1re team Will
remain intact for at least another
year. There will be only one player
of note who will not rejoin the
Bronx University footballers next
fall. He Is Artie B0utot, who IL to
be graduated next June.
The diminutive quarterback will
In all probability be replaced by
Jim Manning, who at different
times this year played the role of
fullback and as quarter when Bou.

With Manning 1t quarter the
remainder of the backfield will
be composed Of those men who
played there In the last game,
that against MuhlenberG at Allen
town, Pa.
Ex-Captaln Myers will, barring
accidents, retain his sturdy grip on
the right halfback position. This
year he was not as spectacular as
he was during the 1921 campaign.
This slump was due to the weak
ness Of The first line OF defense.
Last years team had an exceed
ingly sIrong line and Myers was
given many an opportunity to get
started on long runs.
The remaining two positions In
rordham's backfield will be filled
by Jack Garrity, the 18O-pounder.
who will play at full. and Bill Woer-
ner, freshman, who will round out
the backfield at left halfback.
Garrity, who In at present q Jun
Tor, and one Of that famous class
leading students, played his first
college game the past fall.
Jack engaged In four games, but
because he did not play in six pe-
riods of the four important games,
he did not get letter In this sport.

Giants.
We are more convinced than
ever that our prediction il correct.
Why don't some of the older players
come to the front and state their
grievances IL they have any that
are not purely imaginary.
The movement seems to have
started right among the Giants. 1t
was ,instigated by members OF the
worlds champions. 50 II has been
rumored. Still. all of them we have
talked with or heard from say
they have been used fairly, squarely
and literally by their employers,
and have no fault to find with the
latter.
The old standard complaint Of
the ten-day and the reserve clauses
in the players contracts have been
stated as the sole grievances they
have.
Now, in the first place. as re-
CARDS the ten-day clause. ANY
player who shows enough ability
to continue in big league class never
need fear that he will be released
on ten days notice.
1t il only those players who are
not capable Of holding their Jobs
and fear to lose them. No pfayer.
Of late years anyhow, has ever
been given . ten-day notice BY
reason Of an injury received ON

That the reserve rule has been
an Injustice to q few players is
a h,rf the bi1 maiority

there would not be now. nor could
there be. professional baseball
lplayed that would command the
high salaries that are paid at pres
ent without the reserve rule. Capt.
tai would not be invested to build
the immense stadiums OF today
without such concrete assets ~ a
team Of players represent.
II there were no reserve rule,
players would be enabled to jump
from one club to another and chaos
would be the result. No club own
er would depend on his having any
team at all from year to year.
Something more than mere fran-
chiAe is required to establish any
club on firm foundation.
The players must be confirmed
as assets or no business man would
advance q dollar to promote the
sport. Players cannot run the
game-that has been proven time
and again. much to their SORROW.
In the meantime, Frank Frisch
should consider seriously whether
1t Is not foolish for him to be made
"goet" by schemers.

LINCOLN TRUTTING
PROJECT FORMING

Lincoln, Me. Jan. 1.-THE latest
work of the Lincoln Board of Trade
is the making ready for he organi-
zation of the Lincoln Trotting and
Agricultural Association. At a re-
cent meeting of the toard the mat
ter was discussed and II was thought
best to organize a society to take over
the trotting park owned by the Board
of Trade rather than TO continue TO
run it themselves. The new assoc
citation will be incorporated for s5,-
600 and the park will be turned over
to this organization. Shares will be
sold at SO a share.
The Lincoln Board of Trade bought
the trotting park about three years
ago when ii was in very run down
condition. They have conducted IL
very successfully during the past two
summers. each Fourth of July holding
a big celebration with a trot at the
park. Last summer they made big
change in conditions at the park. 4
fine new grandstand was built. more
horse stalls built, the track was put
into the best OF condition.

Hockey Prospects Good

Plans are nearly perfected for the
immediate organization Of a hockey
team to represent Hallowell in the
winter sports tournament which is
20 be held this month and next at
Augusta. Fortunately for the Hal
lowell boys there are two Canadian
men living within our borders who
are familiar with the game, and they
have already offered their services
for instruction and aid. These two
men are no other than T. A SANDY
and Edward Stevenson. formerly
Marysville, n. B. Edward was a
hockey player of some note in New
Brunswick and was reekoned as a
being mighty fast on his feet. SAN
dy" was always known as the iron
man." possessing a powerful physi-
que, and is also fast on skates.
Among the Hallowell boys who are
interested in forming a club are
Harvard r. Gray, Arthur Leonard.
Marion Galazia and Harold Tibbetts.
Doubtless with such men interested.
the Hallowell organization will be
able to put a most cred.tabie team on
the ice this year.

MacMillan's Sisters
Start Letters to Him
in the Arctic Region

Haverhill, Mass Jan, 16--The two
sisters of the Arctic explorer, Donald
L. Macmillan. Miss Jessie AIacMil-
Ian and Miss Eva Macmillan, both OF
this city on Sunday forwarded let
tiers that they hope may reach their
brother before he leaves his winter
quarters in the Far North. The let
tiers are not the first that have been
sent to the explorer. Recently the
Misses Macmillan received word from
the Bureau of Navigation of the
Navy Department to forward too IT
any letters that they might wish to
send to their brother.
The mail is forwarded to Manitoba,
where it is taken care of by the Royal
Northwest Mounted Police Of Canada,
in the Far North, where it is turned
over to an Arctic mail system of the
Eskimos that functions by dog sleds.
1t is hoped in this way to get in touch
with the exploration party.
Every effort to get in touch with
their brother was made by the Misses
Macmillan when he was on his pre-
vious trip but the letters were re-
turned undelivered after he had
reached home.
The two sisters have not received
any word from their brother since
last November.
