Hebron last year, putting Hebron in
the championship class, in baseball.
1t was his great pitching and con-

Last summer Danny signed up with
the Red Sox, forever breaking away
from amateur sport. 1t is his inten-

this sort of thing.
With this addition to TIE Coaching

one of the shining lights in last years

by the American League in Chicago

prlng about close working relations
and greater harmony between the
Two major organizations.
Inc action of the two leagues
forecast definitely the reelection of
Landls Tor a new seven year term.
BEFORE winding up their session here
To-Day, preparatory to leaving for the
mid-western city. National League
magnates made 1t clear that they
We're unit in support of Lands,
although they tabled for later dis
cussion proposal to add $4,000 to
the commissioners present annual
salary of $4,000.
The newly appointed steering
group will have Lands as an ex-offi-
clio member. Its chief purpose will
be to smooth out the occasionally
ruffied surface of major league re-
lations as well as to establish closer
working arrangements with Lands.
The independence of the commits
sloner's rule has caused some dis
satisfaction among the magnates
and National League men, while
they see no curtailment of his pow
| ers In today's developments, believe
more harmonious relations will re-
suit from the new arrangement.
| The National League endorsed
the use of the resin bag by pitch
ers for 1927, after listening to re-
ports by President Heydler showing
the increased effectiveness of box
| men last season, when use of the
substance was officially sanctioned.
Definite arrangement of the 1927
schedule was deferred, pending con-
sultation with American League men
in charge, but it is understood the
two circuits are in agreement on
later closing which will end the
season on October 2, week later
than this year. The opening date
probably will be April y.
All National League records for
attendance were shattered in 1926,
President Heydler revealed. APP
proximately 100000 spectators filed
into the eight parks, an increase
of 100000 over the previous year,
1928. The Chicago Cubs led the
league with an attendance mark of
100000. Pittsburgh, New York, st.
! Louis, Cincinnati, Brooklyn, Boston
and Philadelphia ranked in that or
| der on the attendance scale.
The club owners rejected pro-
| posa1 by President Heydler to fix a
minimum number of games in which
a batsman could figure to gain
! recognition as the league hitting
| champion. The chief executive at
| first suggested that three-fourths of
| the games be considered a mini
mum, then lowered it to 100 games,
! but the magnates decided any arbi-
trary standard might work an in
| justice on the batting contenders.

CHAT


There were more than IS members
present at the first meeting of hoe
key enthusiasts at the Davis store
in Augusta last evening and plans
were made for hockey league this
winter. There is plenty of hockey
talent in Augusta and the boys
should make a success of it. They
will start a campaign for funds for
uniforms at an early date and hope
to hold a practice session Tuesday
night if the weather is cold enough.
James Comedian drifted. into town
yesterday afternoon and managed
the team sponsored by the Augusta
American Legion in the game against
Bowdoin. AS three of his former pu-
pills, Trask, Overlook, and Nickless
we're playing with the Legion, and a
fourth, Howard Stiles, was playing
with Bowdoin, James felt right at
home. The fifth member of his last
years team, Babe Lapidus, watched
the game from the sidelines. Babe,
who plays with the Legion outfit has
been out of the last two games be-
cause of injuries.
incidentally every fan in Augusta
did something to help the game along
last night. Tiny Overlook and Ken
Trask Of the Vickery G. Hill team
gave their services despite the fact
that they are playing tonight against
Gannetts and they gave everything
they had in that game. Finley Mac
Donald, manager of the V&H team
worked to the limit and permitted the
boys to play. Dick Benn and Vic Me-
Courtney of the Clerks and Yippie
NIckIess of the Gannett team are
playing with the Legion. They work
all day and play at night, just for
the sake of seeing fast brand of
basketball in Augusta. With the
backing of so many basketball en-
thusiasts the game cannot help being
a success in Augusa this winter.
The Richmond American Legion Is
playing Freeport tonight. The Rich
mond team is a tough club on the
Richmond floor and should give the
Freeport team plenty of trouble.
The Viekery & Hill basketball team
is playing Gannetts at the Y. M. c.
A. in Augusta this evening and Don
brennan's Higgins outfit Friday
night. The Legion is playing Bath

RALLY IN LAST PERIOD ENABLES
AUGUSTA TO TRIM INDEPENDENTS
Overlook And Dunnack Led in
Scoring But Whole Outfit
Played Sweet Game-Smith
Starred for Losers

Coming back with g. I'd rush in
the final period of hectic basketball
game, the outfit si.~-----~ ID by the Au-
gusta American Legion and contain
ing representatives from every out
fit in the City League, swept through
to win over the Bowdoin lndepen-
dents at City Hall last evening by a
score of SLAP. The visitors netted
four points and the locals IL in the,
last period to put the game on ice.
The game looked something like
walkaway in the first period. Tiny
Overlook, Yippie Nickless and Ken
Trask, all former Cony High school
players under Jimmie Comedian and
all taking orders from him on the
bench, put up q whale of a scrap
throughout the game but tn 'ir pass
ing game was most evident IN the
first quarter. They had habit of
taking the ball, showing it right into
a Bowdoin mans face. right out
again and into the waiting arms of
another Legion man. The Augusta
outfit netted 10 points in the first
period to five for the visitors.
In the second period the Bowdoin
outfit started to work the old corner
pIay and for a few minutes they got
away with it. Smith. visiting for
ward and captain o. the Collegians,
was there with the goods and he
showed to perfection on the dribble
and shot from the corner A substi-
tute sent in by James remedied this
in short order, however. The half
ended with the score 1920 in favor
of the Legion. Howard Stiles, for
mer Augusta boy put up wonderful
defensive game for Bowdoin.
In the third period the Collegians
gave everything they had. They
started off with basket in the first
minute and kept, aided by several
long ones by Cole. The Bowdoin
team confined its efforts to a couple
of plays and shot, with Smith netting
seven. He was retired on personals
late in the fourth period. In the
fourth session the Legion started
loose and ran up lead and incident,
ally the game.
The game was fast battle all the
way and the crowd was well satisfied.
There was a much larger crowd than
at the last contest and the game Is
becoming more popular than ever in
the Capital City.
Between the halves 1t was announc-
ed that Vickery and Hill would play
Gannetts at the Y. NJ. c. A. tonight

PITCHERS MOST
DESIRED PLAYERS
IN BIG LEAGUES

Chicago. Dec. 14-(P)-A manager
with a corps Of high class pitchers
to sell probably could make a fortune
at the gathering of American League
pilots and club owners opening to-
day. Virtually every manager here
ADMITS he could use a dependable
tosser.
The proasic business Of the league
presidents today and tomorrow was
little more than stage setting, with
the Vaccinations of the managers
having spotlight attention. Virtually
all the league chiefs had before them
was the perfunctory awarding of the
1926 pennant to the New York YAM
KEGS, selection of an umpire to sue
coed George Moriarty, now manager
of the Detroit Tigers. decision on the
length of the league SCHEDULE and
selection of a new board of direc-
tors.
American league sentiment favors
the long season. President Ban John
sonshas felt in the past that baseball
should be out of the way for football,
but he, now is ready to fall in with
the general opinion that the season
should run into October, to enable
completion of the schedule without
cluster of late double headers.
Five new managers are hoping to
obtain here the talent they need for
the 1927 campaign.
George Moriarty, Ty Cobb's success
sor at Detroit, said he would take 10
pitchers south next spring. OF the
qintet of new team leaders. Moriarty
apparently has the least player wor-
ries. Unlike the Cleveland Indians,
who find a hole in centerfield because
Of iris Speakers departure, the
Tigers are well satisfied with their
outfield. Cobb, like Speaker, was a
centerfielder, but he prepared against
his departure by grooming q success
sor. whereas the Grey Eagle Of the
Indians left gap which the new
manager, Jack McAllister, admits he
is hard pressed to fill.
Dan Howiey, of the st. Louis
Browns spent considerable time yes
terday with Miller Higgins of the
Yankees. Howlay has said he would
keep George Sisier, but there are re-
ports that Marty McManus NAV be
traded. Higgins wants a good pit
cher.

NO PROSPECTS OF
TRUCE HARVARD
and PRINCETON

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 14-(F-A
Harvard Princeton truce seemed far
ther away than ever today.
Despite general taciturnity here
following a meeting yesterday of the
Harvard student council 1t became
known that efforts to bring the stu
dent bodies of the two universities
together had been dropped, tempo
rarily at least.
When Princeton severed athletic
relations with Harvard after the
Crimson had refused to consider the
Princeton football game on an equal
footing with the annual Yale en-
counter, an attempt was made to
bring about new understanding.
Leo Daley. president of the Har-
ward student council. and Joseph
Prendergast. president of the Prince
ton senior council, agreed that five
representatives from each of the two
bodies would confer on terms.
1t was these delegates which the
Harvard council has decided not to
name, but the only explanation avail
able was that the basis for the new
e-approachment failed to suit the
Crimson council.
A generally accepted statement of
those terms included the stipulation
that the peace move appear to be
initiated by Harvard, and an agree
ment that Harvard alternate the final
football game of the year between
Yale and Princeton.
William J. Bingham, director of
athletics at Harvard recently declar-
ed in favor of making the Yale game
the only fixture on the Harvard sche-
dule but at a subsequent meeting of
the board of overseers it became
known that official sanction had new
er been voted by that body.
