Myer Gets Good Offer.

TN THE cases of two-Myer and
Newsom - higher salaries have
been offered. 1t is believed that
Whitehill, Russell ana Stone were cut
slightly. Appleton, who was drafted
last Fall from Montreal of the In
ternational League, apparently figures
that he can make more money in
the minors.
II don't blame ball player for
trying to get as much as he can while
the getting is good" explains Griffith,
'but after all, there's a limit to try
ing. I've made Myer a good offer in
recognition OF what he did last year.
Why, I've only paid one ball player
In the last five years-Heinie Manush
what Myer has been offered
Really, though, I don't expect
much trouble with Buddy. He's always
been reasonable in his demands.
Buddy has until March to report
and until then he's still a member
in good standing as far as I'm con-
cerned"
Newsom's battle with Griffith for
more money has been more spirited
than any. Buck has corresponded
freely this Winter and once made a
personal visit to Griffith, who at the
time offered him boost. Newson,
however, thinks he rates bigger in
crease as a result of his workhorse
tendencies. He also has until March
to report.

\ II ONOPOLY Is a new game to
M most of us, but Charley
w Guyon and his Eastern High
a School athletes have been
playing it successfully for years.
Undefeated in series court competi-
tion since the first game of the 1894
season. Eastern's polished passers
yesterday added its twenty-third con-
secutive victim as Roosevelt bowed in
the final game of the year, 40-39, at
the Tech gym.
For the past four or five years in
basket ball and eight of eleven seasons
in base ball, Chief Guyon has piloted
his lads to championships. That i'm
pressive record alone can testify for
the lovable old Indians ability as q
coach.
But back of that record is another
reason for the success of Lincoln Park
teams. BY some miraculous method,
Guyon has managed to eject into his
athletes down through the years some
OF his own wholesome, clean-cut
sportsmanlike spirit.
Eastern Athletes CleSn.
Seldom, if ever, has an Eastern
player been involved in any unsports-
manlike conduct-they know the chief
won't tolerate it and they govern
themselves accordingly.
Yesterdays game against the Rough
Riders illustrates the type of athlete
which Guyon is producing. Chick
Hollidge and Dopey Dean were tied
for the series scoring lead with 70
points each. Both wanted the honors
that go with that position, yet neither
took an unnecessary shot at the basket
or failed to pass to the other when
either was in the clear.
1t SO happened that the lanky Hol-
idge tailed II points to Deans 7 to
win the honor which Dean held last
year and missed by points in 1894,
but it would be unfair to rank one
above the other in scoring ability.
Eastern owes its clean slate to a
27-10 half-time lead over the Rough
Riders, for Coach Herman Littman's
club came back in the second half to
outplay the Light Blue basketers,
scoring 29 points to Eastern's Is.
Spero Kolius, rugged Roosevelt for
ward. climbed to third place in the
scoring column, Tipping in Is points
to boost his series total to rs.

Scheible leads Attack.

Standing just outside the circle and
Tipping in four rapid pot shots, Red

The Coakley twins, George and
Francis, played their finest trays of

for Z points, while Francis parted the
cords for 8.
