recent years, Lew Tender of Phila-

torn and sore, the victim of a knock

Battered down twice at the hands

great Leonard twice and on each
occasion stood firmly on his feet at
the end of II rounds.
For the past year and half Tend
Ter has been doing little fighting. He
is able to make the lightweight limit

When is the strategic time
for a player to try to make a
"held" ball?
BY JOHN SCHOONER /.
Basketball Coach. Armour Institute,
Former u. Of c. Star

l believe that player should try
to make "held' ball underneath
either basket or at any other time
when he is obviously getting the
worst of it. The reasons resolve
themselves into guarding strategy
and jumping strategy. If you are
down under the basket, attacking
and have a chance to run in and
make held ball on an opponent
YOU can stop the play and give your
team a chance 10 place themselves
in favorable positions-that is. near
the opponents goal This is also de-
moralizing TO an opponent. If you
are a good jumper and the ball is
Under the goal YOU are defending, 1t
is good strategy to try for a held

ponent from making ashot-second-

MCCRAW HOPES
FOR 5TH STRAIGHT

New York. Jan. 2O.-(By A. P.)-
The New York Giants, storm GEN.
ters Of baseball are building formid.
ably for the 1925 campaign. a res-
ant struggle that promises 70 nut the
morale of the National League
champions to one of the severest
tests of their embattled career.
John McGraw. the veteran leader.
set a new modern record last year
when he Won his fourth straight
pennant and he hopes to make it five
straight this year, thus setting q
mark for all time.
McGraw will stand pat on the ma

collected a corps Of 10 pitchers for
spring training at Sarasota, Fla,
in addition TO new backstopping tai
ent, needed to replace or aid Hank
Gowdy and Frank Snyder. the vet
Grams who did the hulk of work last
year.
McGraw has a half dozen pitch
ing veterans upon whom he counts
heavily for 1925-Art Nehf, Hugh
McQuillan, Bill Ryan, Claude JON
rard. Jack Bentley and Virgil
Barnes. Among dozen or more
others. some of whom had trials last
year. he hopes to obtain regular

declined after an impressive start i
year ago, and Joe bradshaw, former
Toledo and Louisville pitcher. Two

geavney Of Notre Dame and Jim
| Tunney from Holy Cross, are also on
the list, besides Jack Scott, s1922
worlds series hero, who has been re-
called from Toledo.
Outside Of the batteries, the only
major shift in the team as it eft
the field in the last worlds series
game, will be the return of Heinie
Groh to third base in place of Freddie
Lindstrom, schoolboy, whose play
was a sensation in the champion
ship battle with Washington.
McGraw regards Lindstrom as

the 1924 season. Under that system
he used George Kelly, regular first
sacker in center field, Bill Terry on

when facing right handed pitching
| Against southpaws Kelly came in to
first, Wilson shifted to center and
Meusel patrolled left. Jackson and
Frisch in the 1nfield and Young in
right field were fixtures.
The Giants have another seasoned
outfielder in Billy Southworth

Boston, Jan. 20.-New England to-

STAR Professor
outlines PROGRAM
OF SUNS ECLIPSE

Toronto, Jan. 20-A program of
the eclipse" was drawn today by c.
A. Chant. professor of astronomy at
Toronto University.
1t is intended for the guidance Of
all those astro- physicians, sky-read-
ers and star-gazers, who, on the
morning of Jan. "a will have places
! on the aisle of totality.
Professor Chant announces that 1t
will be single performance only,
which will cover the circuit from
Minnesota to Nantucket in one grand
sweep. lit will not be visible there
again until 220 years hence, or in the
year 2144, at 12:34:26 p NJ. of Oct. 26.
The Toronto University astrono-
mer is among the Canadian scien-
lists who are setting up huge tele-
-, scopes and cameras at Longs Cor
ners. Ontario.
This is Prof. Chants program of
the eclipse:
1859. A. M-The moon will start to
pass across the face of the sun. To
the onlooker it will appear a. though
some huge mouth had started nib
bling at the solar orb. leaving "A
crescent shaped hole as it eats its
way toward the center.
8:57 A. M.-The sky is still clear
but there are ominous signs of what
appears to be an approaching storm.
All that remains Of the sun is
thin crescent. Daylight begins to
fall. And then queer banded shad-
ows move over the side of buildings.
9:0G A. M.-Now is the time to
watch for the shadow. Far out to
the west the horizon disappears to
be replaced by line between twi-
light and daylight rushing toward
you at the terrific speed of 1900 miles
an hour. The sun seems to break up
into a series of bright beads-Bail-
ey's Beads, as they are called after
the astronomer who first observed
them.
9:0G A. NAH else forgotten in
the appearance of the eclipsed sun
itsSlf, now completely covered by the
moon. For the next minute and IL
seconds you will be able to examine
the famed corona at comparative
leisure, the moon is encircled by a
strange, pearly halo. the streamers
of which sometimes shoot out from
it's circumference for a distance of
several diameters. Sometimes the
spectacle is made still more wierd by
blood-red prominences just visible
at the edge of the moon.
9:0S A. MA crescent shaped
streak of sun will appear on the OPP
posite side of the moon to that from
which it disappeared. The total
eclipse is over. not to return to On
tario until A. d. 2144.
9:0S IL A. M.-Second phase Of
partial eclipse sets in.
1922 A. M.-Second phases Of par
tial eclipse ends.
All of which will comprise "the
most magnificent spectacle the heav-
ems have to offer"
Professor Chant says that there
will be some thrills and startling eff
fects for the scientists with all their
paraphcrnalia, IS well as for COM
mon folk sing smoked glasses or au-
tomobile goggles.
Unless Il publicity seeking cloud
rolls across the stage to spoil the
show, flames millions of miles in
length will be seen shooting from
the sun, behind the blackness of the
solid jagged ball of the MOON" Pre-
sumably this flame broadcasting is
all part of the everyday acting of
the sun, but the actions of the moon
on this occasion will give it the APP
pearance of a special performance to
earth dweliers."
