ROLLER SKATING AGAIN
 COMES INTO ITS OWN
New Rink At Jestcr's Hall Proves Magnet That Attracts In-
 door Skaters

Roller skating was welcomed back ing of the Wollett rink in Jester's s hall on Arch street when more than 250 fans took part in the revival of that sport and d crowd nearly as large occupied seats on the sidelineS and watched the skaters glide by.
 The rink is one of the finest in New England. Manager Harold By cit has had the floor of the spacious hall treated to make an ideal skat- ing surface and has installed q Wur- litZer mechanical orchestra. If last nights attendance and the enthusi- asm with which the "old timers" as well as the cautious beginners greet ed the revival of skating is a cri- terion, then it appears that roller skating is back in the city to remain.
 Every effort will be made by the management 10 maintain the place as an orderly recreation hall, and Floor Manager George J. Bayer has a corps of assistants and instructors who will assist the timid beginners in learning the rudiments of skating.
 The hall is well lighted and af- lords adequate ventilation to pro- vide comfortable evenings recre- ation.
 In connection with last nights re- vival, Martin Bush, regarded as the peer of local skating wizards, gave an exhibition of fancy and trick skating.
 The rink will be open every after noon and evening.

In the total scoring of individual

In the total scoring of individual points made by the contestants'in the past eight field and track events some have gained and some have lost their positions within the past two weeks. Oscar Peterson was in eighth place up to last night and by his remarkably good performance last night went into fifth position, just three points difference between him and the fourth man. Delano in third position gained three points on Dopia, who holds fourth place. The race next week for third place will be keen for only seven points are between fifth and third man. Depia, Delano and Peterson will battle it out for this position next Monday night.
 Peterson has the edge on his two rivals in the half mile but in the twenty yard dash Depia and Delano ought to come through in tino style.
 Connolly undoubtedly will win the second berth as he leads his nearest rival by. 20 points. Hall is almost sure. to come through first.
 Summary of the first ton men in- dividual points won; Hall 112 points. Second, Connolly, 100 points. Third, Delano, so points. Fourth, Depia. 76 points. Fifth, Peterson, 7S points.

New York, Feb. 9.-Magnates. managers, players and friends of the National league yesterday took off their hats and cheered the men who almost fifty years ago gathered in New York to plant the baseball tree, whose branches have spread until an entire nation stands in it's shade and it's seeds have been blown to for eign lands.
 Gathered for it's annual winter business meeting, the league grant ed an entire day 10 the inauguration of its semi-Centennial celebration in which every member city will take part during the coming season. "The Boys of '76," very very few of them, came back to sigua!ize the day Many have gone on in the half century since they banded to- gether at the old Broadway Central hotel to make baseball the game of the land, yet team of those who have reached three score and ten" might have been chosen, and from their enthusiasm would have been willing to take the field immediately against all corners.
 Perhaps the best sentiment of the meeting will be gained from a few extracts of what was said in the addresses and what was written by the old timers unable 10 attend, which follow.
 Christy Mathewson, one of the games greatest pitchers:
 Those who founded baseball builded well. My love for the game is just as profound now as on the first day that I took the wrappings from baseball and smelIed the horsehide."
 John A. Heydler, president of the National league.
 "On this same spot where the pioneers of baseball pledged them selves to make baseball respectable and honorable, we can say to their memory that we have not faltered in their trust"
 A. H. Soden for thirty years president of the National league club:
 The National league, by able management and honest administra- tion. has from a modest beginning expanded into a powerful organiza- tisn, which merits and commands the confidence of the public, and l have no doubt will increase its influ- ence for honest sport in the years to come. As is said in the orient: May its shadow never cease"
 Billy Sunday, well known evange- list, now in Jackson, Miss, formerly a major league outfielder:
 Baseball is the vehicle through which hundreds of names have be- come household words, names of men who otherwise would have been born to bloom among Ahe sticks in some Main street town in the short grass country. Such names as Spald- ing, Anson, Kelly. Radbourne, Rusie. Clarkson, Keefe, Ewing, Ward, Ben nett Brouthers, Thompson, Young, Flint Comiskey, Browning, Waddell,

 The PreIimlnarY

The preliminary game, except for the smaller size of the players, was an almost exact replica of the main one, the Reserves proving far and away the superiors of the Bloomfield high school alumni. For three min- utes there was no scoring, then Captain Andy Yakubowicz broke away for a score and the others fol- lowed. Silva and Fresen put up magnificent game at guard and held the visitors scoreless throughout the entire first half, which ended with the count 1s-0. In the third quar- ter substitutes went in for the Re- serves and it was there turn to go without a score, but in the final period they came out of their trance and ran the tally to 27-7.
 Charley Bigge was the high scorer with half dozen two-p pointers. while Aronson got three in the first half. Andy had a quiet night, getting only five points. Dwyer and Brainard were the only Bloomfield players to find the hoop.

MAJORS CHANCE MANAGERS OFTEN
Mack, McGraW, Robinson Alone
 Are Left of Old Timers
By NEA Service

By NEA Service
 New York, Feb, 3, -- During the past 10 seasons there have been many changes in the managerial ranks in the major leagues. Some managers have lasted only Il season or two: others a bit longer,
 Looking over the list of leaders for the coming season. one finds only three who were also included in the 1915 group. They are, Me Graw and Robinson in the National league and Connie Mack in tho American.
 McGraw has been managing the Giants since 1909 and Robinson the Brooklyn Dodgers since 1914. Mack tops them all, having been leading inc Athletics from the inception of the American league in 1901.
 Two Answer Final Call
 Some of the clubs have had sev- era managers during the last dec- ade. while other have seen but one or two changes in that stretch. Two Of the games greatest leaders have passed on, namely. Pat Moran and Frank Chance. Both took the final call in 1924.
 Outside the so-callcd Big Three" Mack. McGraw and Robinson. Mill Ter Higgins has held his present post the longest. Huggins took over the reins of the Yankees in 1918. And there he has been ever since, having his club right up around the top for the past several seasons.
 Then come Iris Speaker and Branch Hickey. Speaker assumed charge of Cleveland inN.191g. the same year that Hickey was made manager of the St. Louis Cardinals. Two years later Ty Cobb and Bill kiIlefer gained the leadership of the Detroit Tygers and Chicago Cubs re- spectiyely

 In 1922 came McKechnie with Pittsburgh, followed by Fletcher of the Phlllies the next season. Last year saw the arrival of four new big league pilots~-Harris. Washing ton; sisler, Browns; Bancroft. Braves, and Heudricks, Reds. This year Eddie Collins, one of the vet eran players in the game, joins the mana gerial ranks. Collins will pilot the White Sox.
 Another thing. too. Ten years ago most of the managers directed their teams from the bench. Playing pilots were practically extinct. In 1925. however, there will be six leaders who will appear in active competi- ton. They include Cobb, Speaker. Harris, Sisler and Collins in the American, and Bancroft in the Ma tional.

8 NEW PLAYERS F0R PHILLIPS
In These Recruits Rest Hopes
 Of Nationals

Philadelphia, Feb. 3.--Hopes ol the Philadelphia Nationals, rising from a chronic second division team, this year lie in the ability of the eight players who have been obtain ed to strengthen the club.
 From Kitty Bransfeld's Eastern league championship Waterbury team have come Yordy, outfelder: Metz, shortstop, and Ulrich. pitcher. Walter Kimmick, who has seen ma jor league service. was obtained in trade with Los Angeles. Beau mont of the Texas league has tur- nished Huber, third baseman, and O'Neill and Fillingim, pitchers. Chicken" Hawks, first baseman. has been obtained from Nashville. Fillingim formerly pitched for the Braves and a few years ago Hawks was understudy to Wally Pipp of the Yankees. The Red Sox claim ONein on option.
 Manager Arthur Fletcher, former shortstop of the Giants, so far has released three players who were with him in 1924, Pitchers Philip B. Uefty) Weinert and Lerton Pin to, and Andrew Woehrs, a third baseman.
 The Phillies finished seventh last season. avoiding the cellar by pro- ducing some heavy hitting. but Fletcher believes that he has as- scmbled A squad for the 1925 race which will edge into the first divi- sion. The team has been weak in pitching and has lacked a reliable third baseman. If these holes arc plugged the club promises to make d creditable showing.
 From present indications Walter Holke, formerly of the Braves, will appear again at first base, and Hor- ace Ford, obtained from the same club, is assured of his post at sec- ond. with Henie Sand who came into prominence with the bribery scan- opi |utc tdoi cNdsuii lilo uSSuo~ toned position at shortstop. Third base is question, with the prospect that Russell Wrightstone, a capable hitter. will be shifted to the outfield, leaving Huber and kimmick to fight for the place.
 Harry Harper, one of the best fielding gardeners in the National league last season, will be in right field and Cy Williams, home run hitter. expects to resume his duties in center. Wrightstone undoubted- ly will play left. Leach, Schultz, Mokan, Yordy and Henrich will en- gage in the general scramble for outfield work.
 Fletcher has a capable trio of catchers in Walter Henline. Jimmy Wilson and Lou Wendell and the pitchers remaining from the last campaign are Jimmy Ring, Charley Glazner, Johnny Couch, Joe Oescll- ger, Harold Carlson and Clarence Mitchell.
 On February 20 the Phillies will hurry to their new training camp at Bradentown, Fla. The pitchers and catchers are expected to leave a few days ahead of the other players and all will be in camp March 1.

FEench Player Hopes to Show Some Real Billiard Skill in This Coum-

try.
 Paris, Feb. 3.-"I never seemed 10 be able to get going right in the United States" said Roger Cont, after winning the 1S.2 billiard championship of France, with 9 grand average of 6944 for 2,500 points and an unfinished run of AT, two worlds records for tournament play.
 Conti's performances in America were: Chicago, 1921, finished fourth with average 9S,6o; New York, 1922, third with 30.0G; New York, 1923, last with 1850.
 The young French player was somewhat chagrincd because of the pessimism with which his perform ances here have been greeted in America.
 T have a good many years of bil- liards ahead of men," said the 23- year old French champion philoso- Phically. Perhaps I may yet be able to show the Americans that I can play billiards. If l don't do it this year, well, there are other years coming"

Bill McGoWan Will Be the Baby

By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Chicago, Feb 3.-William A. Mo ! Gowan, latest addition to the um- , piring staff of the American league, was so young when he broke into , the game it was necessary for him to add on few years to his age in order 10 get his first job. He cele- ebrated his 29th birthday January IS, the day President Johnson an- nounced his appointment to his off, cial family, This will'be McGowan's tenth year as professional arbiter.
 McGowan, unlike most youngsters, craved the job when he was a kid. He threw away his glove and bat and was one of the few youngsters of his time who had an umpire's in- dicator. He became officially recog- nized about 1912 when he became an umpire ill an independent league in Philadelphia. The following year he umpired exhibition games be- tween major and minor league clubs. The next year he was chosen to off. ciate in college games in the east.
 In 1915 McGowan drew his first regular assignment as a member of the staff of the Virginia league. He signed at the age of 20 and was the only arblter to start and finish the season in that league that year. Since then McGowaRs progress has been steady. He went to the Blue Ridge league. the International. the New York State and the Southern Association, from which he passed to the America league.
