q team which was defeated In three
straight games should be called tn.
champions, but IT that the Kensing.
ton team n not from this city and
there II some weight to the argu-
ment.
what the Remington team should
ret before its next season starts IL
sons good fatheriy advise. Before
u plays IT. games 1t must ask itself
the question: what championship
am I'playing these games for. and
II I win do ! get the honor?"
The Falcons had the champion
ship all the time. 1t seems. but they
wers foolish enough to bother play
ing for . title which they already
had. We guess tho saying-every'
thing goes In baseball Is a good one
and the other saying take nothing
for granted In baseball is darn
poor one.
Nov that We have disposed Of that
QU0BtS0u IVk tuV pSl"e ~ aN~o'
let US turn our attention to Benny
Leonard, one Of the many business
men We have found in the boxing
game in modern times.
Benny. 1t seems has bought q
hockey team. It's hard for man
to break away from the habit oil
mayhem.
The board Of governors In charge
of the Y. NJ. c. A. industrial basket
ball Leagues will meet this after

Our congratulations to Bill Clancy
coach of the kensington team this
year. He coached his team to what
ever championship they are eligible
to claim this year and last year
while coaching the Corbin Red Sox
his team won the championship.
Fans certainly ought to see
enough football Sunday when the
Blues and Nutmegs take on teams
at Willow Brook park.
1t Is pleasing to hear that ones
life time ambition Is realized. 1t
must have been pleasing for Walter
johnson when he signed his name
on the dotted line to a three year
contract to manage the Washington
Senators. For 81 years he pitched
for that team and he always looked
to the time when lie would be its
manager.
Cy Schoonmaker, the cop who
patrols Willow Brook park Is GER
tainly popular with the high school
boys and the fans who look In on
the practice session. He is one of
'the boys" and he accomplishcs
more that way than riding" them.
He helps get material for the
teams during the practice sessions
and personally sees that all recom-
mendation for the comfort of tho
players is carried through.
Charley McGrath u also one Of
"the boys" at Walnut Hill park.
The police department is certainly
we'll represented in the parks.
Clyde EIlingwood, park superin-
tendept, certainly made a nice job
Of 1t when he laid out the gridiron
at Memorial Field In Willow Brook
park. Fans can determine the play
easily. He had 1t marked in five
yard. strips to the goal line which
he marked In double line. The 10
yard space between the goal lin.
and the goal posts is marked dag
onally. The lines are numbered every
10 yards. This is the official way of
marking them. too.
The voice of the long suffering re-
porter finally has been heard at
Yale. An editorial in the Yale News
yesterday pleaded with the Athletic
Association to build shelter for the
press box to protect the newspaper
men from rains such as the one that
drenched them Saturday.
When Wesleyan Rochester meet
next Saturday it will be a wise spec
tator who knows who Is the coach
Of each team. The mentors are twin
brothers. DR.. Edgar Fau>er at Wes-
leyan and DIR. Edwin Fauver at
Rochester. and it takes a second
look for even their friends to dis
tinguish between them.
Even the $4,000 seats in the Yale
Bowl are not enough to accommo-
date the fans who want to see the
Ellis play Army October 81. The
mark of $4,000 applications already
has been reached and they still are
coming in.
Many and varied are the ways of
celebrating a football victory. The
Mountaineers Of West Virginia
staged 4 formal ceremony in COM
mencement hall yesterday after
beating Pittsburgh and followed II
with a reception and dance while
the Bucknell rqpters let off steam
after their defeat of Penn State by
