PHILADELPHIA, February 16.-
Baptist and Methodist ministers Of
Philadelphia and vicinity have
launched movement to prevent the
proposed Jack Dempsey Harry Wills

being held here during the sesuui-
centennial celebration next Summer
The protests were mailed TO Mavor
kendrick yesterday, following meet

listers. held separately. The Baptists
authorized letter asking the mayor
ito do the right thing" about the con-
test. The Methodists said. in part:
Newspaper articles have appeared
to the effect that Jack Dempsey and
Harry Wills were being secured to
participate IN a decision bout during
the sesqui-centennial celebration. We
write to express our confidence in YOU
that you will not permit the celebra-
ton of this republics birth and those
lofty ideals and principles associated
Herewith to be debauched by such
brutal exhibition"

of business men endeavoring to bring

home of his wife, Estelle Taylor, in

McPhilomy. Stanford star was off his
bowling stride last night and totaled
but 317.
Fans still are commenting upon
that Phillips-Lafayett clash last Sat
urday. And there was some remark
able bowling in 1t, too. Sets of the
1.S00 class are rarities, yet in the first
three games each team totaled better
than 1900. Lafayette got 1902. but
was credited with only one victory
in the initial trio of clashes in which
Phillips totaled 1851. The Phillips
team threatened to do some terrific
pin smashing in the third game. At
the end of the fifth box the team had
a score of 358. In It's last five boxes,
however, it got an even 800 to finish
with 65S. A continuation Of the first
half form would have sent the quint
far beyond the District record
Although Max Rosenberg has ques-
toned the record of Gas for a five
game set held jointly by Earl Nc
Philomy and Joe Toomey, 1t seems
that those figures represent the best
total ever achieved in a District
match. But Baltimore can show a far
better count for a five game set. Early
this week Hap Franz shot a count
of 674 on the Recreation drives in
Baltimore to shatter the record of
664 that had been made by Ed Rom
mel. Franz's. games were 153, 146,
ia, 1876 and 125.

BASKET BALL SECRETS
-By Sol Metzger-
When Passing to Teammate

Cutting for the basket to free
ones self from an opponent in or
der to receive a pass is an impor-
tant factor in basket ball, but un-
less a team knows how to pass to
such a player who is free, practi-
cally all advantage obtained by his
being free is nulliued
Pass the ball so that the man
who is running receives it without
checking his speed, as in the illus
tration on the left. Don't throw
it directly at him when he is NOV
ing. as in the illustration on the
right. Even if he can stop and
receive the ball. the chances are
his opponent will catch up with
him and have an equal opportunity
to secure it. A player can scarcely
ever stop In order to catch such a
pass. The ball usually falls be-
hind him. Practice is necessary in
order to gauge a players speed so
as to pass him the ball when he is
cutting.

The ST. Louis Cards thought they
might have a friendly rival in San

cording to last accounts, instead Of
training another year in Florida,
which it quit because OF the high cost.
Indianapolis has deserted Plant City,
Fla, for the same reason, and will
train at Hot Springs. where Indianap

ton games.
This isn't good policy. II is bad
enough to have the majors play in

10 nlSner achievements.
There was barbed wire fence in front
of right field bleachers to keep fans
from coming on the playing field. In
one game long fly was hit over this
fence. Willie ran back to the fence,
! showed his right arm through the
barbed wire and although his arm
was ripped he caught the ball and
held on. His arm had to be sewed up
after the game.
Cobb Shows Gameness.
Ty Cobb gave many exhibitions
or gameness under various ctrcum-
| stances, but l believe the gamest
thine that Cobb ever did was during
the pennant race of 1909 when Detroit
and Philadelphia were neck and neck
and with the Athletics favored to take
| the title from the Tigers.
We were playing a series in Phil
adelphia and the town was red hot
about the matter. When Cobb reached
the hotel he found in his mail a letter
| signed "One Who Means Business"
The letter was poorly written in lead
! pencil. and on cheap stationery. It
read:
noon. During the third inning I'm
going to put a bullet through your
back. I'll be in a window across the
| street, in back Of you, aiming q rifle
that don't miss"
| The letter apparently was written
by crank but that made 1t all the
worse. A crank Is the sort Of an in
dividual that would do a thing like
! that.
Before Cobb left for the park, the
threat was also repeated to him over
the telephone at least twice and he
was adviced to get ready to leave this
earth.
| The game was played before an
overflow crowd. There was a mob In
right field. Ropes kept the crowd
back but did not keep them quiet.
All through the game Cobb was
handed a verbal barrage and various
missiles were thrown at him.
| If Cobb paid any attention to the
written threat, he showed no signs
of worry. He also gave no heed to
the threats that were shouted by the
mob behind him, and he made the
feature play Of the game when he
vaulted the rope, went into the crowd
and caught fly ball that meant the
turning point Of the afternoons bat
tie.
