' In Philadelphia a team known ns the Stanley Profes
sionals was organized this fall. A hard schedule was
Arranged and many former college stars had signed up for
thoj season. Heinle Miller, Lew Little, Lud Wray and
Bert Bell, of Pcnn; .Tack Desmond, of Harvard; Fritz
Ifqilard, of Brown; 3ohn Wcldon and John Scott, of
Lafayette, and many others were ready to start training
rhcn the baseball scandal broke.
Bell Calls Off Everything
BERT BELL, captain of Pcnn last year, who was part
, , owner of the team, called a meeting of his partners and
decided to abandon the project. Tho men were released
and all of the games canceled.
v "This unsavory publicity which professional sport Is
totting in Chicago," said Bert Bell, "will not help foot
tall this year. No matter how honest the players may
be, the public nlwnjs will have a feeling that the games
are not being played on the level. I'd hate to drop a punt
in a close game and have the people yell from the stands
that I was in the pay of gamblers. I realize we can't do
anything this year and ecr thing is off. The players wo
kave Bigned can join any team they desire.
t ...
Sorry to Dissipate Idea
fix's A WAY, I am sorry wo could not go through with
v ! the idea. I believe n college football player has juit
as much right to continue playing after leaving school as
)ascball men and could derive juxt as much enjoyment out
cf the sport. The game could be played almost as well
as in college, nud it would huc been a close corporation.
"By that I mean, only ex-college men would have
Jccn eligible. No players now in school would be toler
ated, and if auy wanted to join wc would have notified
fho coach of the team. This idea of paying college
player? to play football on Sunday Is all wrong, and if it
continues it won't be long before the professional game
will die a natural death.
"I understand Jim Thorpe has passed that rule in
Ohio, and if such is tho case, it is a step In the right
direction. College plajers cannot get away with it and
taany promising careers huve been ruined."
...
Lots of Betting in Football
THERE is quite a little gambling in football. Thousands
of dollars arc bet openly on the games In the West, and
now that uc have been allowed to look behind the scenes
in "baseball it is only natural to assume that efforts hare
been made to "fix" the professional games also. The sure
"thing boys arc willing to pay a hundred dollars to get
Jtack a thousand any time.
r" Professional football never has been successful outside
of Ohio. That is because there arc few colleges out there.
and In towns like Masslllon and Canton the fans arc used
to the sport. In those towns there has been but one
scandal and that ended football for flvo years.
Independent football Is perfectly proper. Thousands
of teams nre formed every year and games ore plojcd for
the sport of it. The players nre. not on the salary list.
Bert Bell is the first to sec tho danger In professional
football, and It would not be at all surprising it others
followed his example. k
Universal Praise for Comisheys Action
THERE isn't a fan in baseball today who is'not prais
ing the action of Charley Comlskcy In giving each of
his honest baseball players n check for $1500. The White
Sox magnate did this because ho thought It was the right
thing to do. He has always been on tho right side and
has done as much as any one man to bring baseball to its
present pinnacle of popularity.
The money which Comlskey gave his men yesterday
represented the difference between the amount which they
received and what they would have received had tho White
Sox beaten the Cincinnati Reds in the world's series of
1010.
Comlslccy'n action means more, however, than the mere
giving of a sum of money. It means that although a few
crooks havo ruined his baseball dub and have done irrep
arable damage 'to his business, he still believes in the
integrity of baseball nnd baseball players, Just as every
other fair-minded man docs.
In giving this bonus or whatever you wnnt to call it
Comlskey also proves that he wants baseball run on n high
business basis in the future, just as proposed recently by
him, Barney Drcyftiss, William L. Vccck and John J.
McOraw. It Is worth while looking over the proposition
which the men advocate. Hero is what It was;
(CPJIE undersigned membert respectively of the
Xational League, American League of Pro
fessional Hasehall Clubs and the National Associa
tion of Professional Baseball Clubs, bejicving that
the present deplorable condition in baseball has been
brought about by the lack of complete supervisory
control of professional baseball; and
"The undersigned believing that the only cure
for such condition is by having at the head of base
ball men (in no wise connected telth baseball) who
are so prominent and representative among the
American people that not a breath of suspicion
could ever be reflected; and
"The undersigned further believing that the
public, as icell as tho owners and players, are en
titled to the fullest measure of protection in the
further conduct and operation of the national game;
"Tho undersigned now agree to put in im
mediate operation a plan by ichich the three most
prominent men attainable (in no wise connected
icith baseball) be enlisted to aot as a Superior
i Tribunal, at whatever compensation may be neces
sary; that such Tribunal so constituted shall have
unreviewable authority over presidents of alt
leagues, club owners, players and every other per
som act and thing connected with the national
game,"

WALTER (GOO) STEWART came
liun nil the way from Wheeling,
West Virginy, apparently for no other
purpose than to prove to those at the
Qlympla last night that he had been
Incorrectly dubbed. A better nickname
for Walter would be "Stew" Stewart,
because it would be nu nl'ltcration,
easier to remember, and. mostly, be
cause it would he more appropriate.
Stewart was supposed to go on for
ight rounds In the star set-to against
"JToung Andv Chanev, of Baltimore, but
as soon as the bell for the opening canto
?oundcd the unfortunate onlookers
idn't have to be told that Ooo, or
,'Stew," was everything thnt the latter
implies in the vernacular. There were
Bine perfectly good reasons why Stew
art showed that he was not n star
mittmnn. One wnN that he cjuldn't box
well enough to lick nn ordinary 'pork-4nd-beaner."
It isn't necessary to men
tion the other eight.
I After falling through tho ropes sev
eral times and being dropped twice for
tbo counts of nine, once in the first
round and again in the second, Referee
811m Brennan mado a decided hit ulth
everybody who remained by calling
"quite" in the fourth. Slim would
have made a bigger hit had he chased
tje "Stew" sooner.
,Nobody cared, but it was nnnounced
that Chaney nnd Stewart each bad
weighed in under 124 pounds.

Interest in scholastic football In South
Jeisey is on the upward trend, par
ticularly since Colllnjswood nigh School
is looming up ns likely champlous. Tho
Collingswood -Gloucester game' can
hardly bo considered seriously, sinco
Collingswood won by such an over
whelming score, but when the Collings
wood players lino up with Haddon
Heights next Friday they will have a
real test."
Collingswood plavs such teams as
Hammpnton High. Mlllvlllo Hieh, Cam

is not on the Collingswood roster this
season, but the Woodbury youngsters
play many of these teams and it will

Collingswood eleven, succeeded Robert
Rutherford, who failed to return, nnd
Warren is handling the reins In fine

Collingswood athletes nrn elated over
the interest shown by the 8ehoo Board

Southern High School warriors arc
sore. Not that they have ruffled fecl
Ing"), but they nre son? In body ns well ns
soul. For, according to Quarterback
Bclofsky, who was Injured and is now
out of the rijjular enmes with water on
the knee, Southern has the "real old
Vare territory" for practice games.
Quoting Bulofsky :
"It is n wonderful field, probably
part of the tract owned by our Senator
Vare. Wo dodgo nsh cans, sticks, broken
boxes nnd run end around a few ram
shackle wagons which have spent their
day. Aside from the hills and stones,
It is some football field. That's the
reason I am out with n sore knee.
Wonder when Southern will get that
athletic field they promised us ns gram
mar school kids many years ago, when
they used to come up to Southern nnd
tell stories of what wo were going to
?et from the city and tbe Board of
Education, and then every one would

referee's derision In a twelvo-round bout here
By SANDY McNIBUCK
In a few short years the personnel
of the Pennsylvania team In the Lesley
Cup match has completely changed.
The only veteran reft in tho play Sat
urday of the old Keystone Staters was
W. C. Fownes. the captain.
Captain "Bill" has gray hairs, but
he is liable to hold his place for a good
many seasons. He was scmlfinalist nt
the national last year, put out Boo
Gardner this year and has wou the
national title and the medal twice.
He qualified for the open this year
and had a round of 70. In a Pitts
burgh tourney this year, he ousted S.
P. Hcrron, thcu national champion.
Fownes lost his match to Jesse
Sweetser, New York, on Saturday at
Merlon, but only nfter extra 'holes of
r beautifully played motch. Swcctscr
won the intercollegiate championship
tills year and beat Ned Sawyer, the
metropolitan titlcholder, in the na
tional. He Is only eighteen years oW and a
fine typo of athlete who Is due to hold
hi place for many years, but he snu,
afterward at Merlon that Fownes was
ono of the hurdest players to beat he
had ever met.
Fownes has reduced golf to such a
science that he has constructed vnrlous
mechanical devices to test golf balls,
sticks and even strokes in his; effort
to apply the proper laws of mechanics
to the game.
Long Road
With few exceptions the teams of
both Bostou uad New York aro com
posed of veterans who have probably
gone as far as they ever will at golf,
which Is pretty far up the ladder, of
course, but then if there's a turn its
more likely to be down than farther up.
Pennsylvania has the advantage of
a team of youngsters, for the most part,
capabln of malting their mark in the
car to come.
Ilerron is not likely to collapse very
soon and has played a champion's game
in most of bis starts.
Mars ton has been at the top for many
years, nnd Francis W. Kenible, though
not entering many tournaments fills'
year, is alsnys a capable golfer to con
sider. The rest of the team was mado uo
of young stars always battling in the
confidence of youth. Piatt, Hloffner
nnd Jack showed real qualities for
many future teams, n pace thy have
been holding for several seasons.
Reynolds is a veteran who was
though to have n fine chance to win
hut a tliirtv-foot nutt stroke displaced
by Peter Hormon. New York, was too
much to overcome In the last few
holes of plav.
Harmon, by the way, Is one of thp
promising young additions to the New
York team, and earned his place.
There were n few shots pulled the
lost day which deserve mention. After
Piatt ran n chip shot up dead to the
eighteenth. Gardiner White had a
tough one to makp under, tho Ircuni
tinncps nnd wnvered badly.
But he nhowcd real stuff when he
sank n five-foot putt nnd carried the
match to the nineteenth.
"Cool It Off"
As Plntt walked up to his second
slinr. nt this hole. George Ormiston.
standing there, spoke with wisdom:
"Lay it up there stoncy dead, lad
die, and cool off the match."
Which Piatt did. It was one of the
prettiest shots of the tourney, espe
cially nt that stage, and gave him a
3-blrd-hole match and Pennsylvania
tho title.
Norman Mnxwell hit n beauty with
a straight-faced nildmashle from a trap
at thp tenth, where Reynolds, his part-
ucr, Had driven, rrom mac spni aiax
well laid the ball not two feet from tbe
pin on the bowl green, where he could
hcurccl.v see tho flag from where he
was. Reynolds sank the putt for u
bird, which always throws n chill over
tlie ardor ot tne opposition.
A weird shot was that mado by
Johnny Andcrbon against George Hoff
ncr. They were driving the thirteenth,
a short holo with water in frout of the
green. Anderson hit a low shot which
looked all wrong.
It hit plumb in the middle of the
water, but was going Ilko a flat stone,
and skidded on the green so close to
the piu that ho had a putt for a 2,
which he missed.
Swcctscr bad a similar shot on tho
ninth.
MIKE WHITEHILL will get into
Saturday's game for Penn against
Sw&rthmorc, according to the plnycr
himself nnd Doctor Light, the team
phjslclan. Yesterday the former Rutgers
lad engaged In the signal drill and
showed no 111 effects after almost an
hour of tearing up nnd down the field.
His Injured ankle, which has kept him
on thp sldo lines the last two weeks, is
strong enough now to stand the strain of
Whltehlll has had hard luck all sea
son. Up at George School, during tlie
preliminary training, Mike was in such
Pne condition after the first few days
that Coach Hclsmon ordered him to rest.
A few days before tbe return of the
team to Franklin Field Whltehlll
sprained his back and could hardly
throw the pigskin. When his back re
ttlrncd to normal he turned his ankle,
and bad to be assisted from the field.
This occurred two weeks ago and has
served to keep him on the sidelines for
the last fortnight. Yesterday was his
first nvl strenuous workout In three
weeks nnd ho made the most 01 Jt oy
straining his ankle to the utmost, with
very gratifying results.
Whltehlll is sorely needed nt Pcnn,
nnd, according to Coach Hclsman, ho
will aid mm in solving some 01 mo
nmlnr nrnhloms for the hard schedule
confronting him. The line needs bolster

while lacking tho weight that a fullback
should have- for the tearing In, llue
t.,,,.!,ir, atv nf nlnv. ia shifty enoimu to
get through the line In spite of his lack
of weight.
With tho return of Whltcliill to tno
regular llncup there Is a strong possi
bility that Carl Thomas, acting captain,
will be shifted back to his old post at
tackle. Buck Wharton is the authority
for the statement that Thomas fs one of
the best tackles in the country. Thomas,
nifhnni-h out of position at fullback, has
shown his versatility by playing a great
gamo, botn offensively nnu ticiensiveiy.
He has developed into a punter of no
mean ability in less than a week, which
again shows Ms nn-arounu amuiy.
Dieter Lost ,
Tho return of Thomas to tho line may
bo necessary very soon, judging by the
nnnouncement made by Captain Bud,
Hopper last night. The genial Red and
Blue lender talked to Herb Dlctcr, tho
star guard of last year's eleven, over
the long-distance telephone last night In
an effort to find out why Dieter had not
returned to the University.
The former guard emphatically stated
to Hopncr that ho would not return to
Penn tuis year or nny j-eur, mui uo wu
Cochran a fact, especially tho first
named. Bud Hopper Is determined
that ho will bolster up the team.
Yesterday, with his Injured arm
tightly bandaged, Bud got into his
uniform nnd spent an hour romping
around the field. He ran n mile, ana
then Indulged in a signal drill to brush
up his memory on plays. After that he
caught short forward passes with bis
uninjured wing. If confidence and a
d-iirc to play count for anything Hop
per will be seen at bis old post this Sat
urday n week, when Lafayette makes
its annual pilgrimage to Franklin Field.
Yesterday was a day of rest for the
varsity men who played in Saturday's
game. All came out of the struggle
in good shape with the possible ex
ception of Roy Wallace, who subbed for
Hopper at end. Wallace received a se
vere bruise on his left shoulder and
Tho Glory of Ihe Game
Why, it was only yesterday I dreamed
now great the glory of tho game must
Where far away thp flags of empire
gleamed .
And gleaming catlcd me on by land
To know the height, rcd-rlmmed
against the sky,
To take my place out in the world of
wen. I . ., . ,
To know the heights? I only know that I
Want to go home again,
I think now of a vanished summer's day
When each far height took on a rarer
.gleam,
left old-fashioned drifts to make my
way
By wraith trails through the poppy
fields of dream;
To know life's fame before I came to
die, -
To have the laurel wreathed on blade
To know fife's famet I only know that I
Want to go homo agatn,
now each height flamed that day from
where I turned
To take my part with those who ruled
the game;
By dawn and darkness each new vision
burned , .,
Until the goal swept to a mighty
flame;
It may be that the flame still spans the
sky,
A greater flame than I had dreamed
of then;
I do not know I only know that I
Want to go home again.

i- But "Babo" Ruth can't see It. ,
He has plastered homo runs in tni
first inning nnd murdered the ball in
the second.
He has lifted a flock of baseballs oat
of various yards in tho third, fourth
fifth nnd sixth.
He has hammered tho cover off ia
the eighth nnd ninth. But at the cad
of his fiftv-thlrd homo run he lud
nothing to show for the "lucky seventh."
This Inning alone had baffled hlra all
the year, refusing to yield to the
blandishments of bis blighting bludgeon,
as you might say.
It has remained the "lucky seventh'
for opposing pitchers, but not for tit
ball-bustlng "Babe."
Revive the Commission!
THE National Commission with a na
tional figure as chairman must b
revived at onefe if baseball ia to be
saved. .'
The game has been without a gov
ernment for over a year and yet no
club owners havo taken nny steps to
face ilic situation and force the elec
tion of n man who might have eltbtr
averted or cleaned up the scandil.
Baseball has an attraction for too
msnv millions to he wrecked but it
will be wrocked unless club owners ana
linuc.-st players look after Its Interests
with fnr greater keenness than, they
have shown so far.

Dieter is badly needed ut Penn tmrf
