Mountaineers Win Nine Out of 19 Contests Morgantown, Y. June 5. Had it not been for a disast-i rous eastern trip the West Yir-ginia varsity nine which closed its regular schedule by taking two games from Grove City col- lege last week would have had a remarkable season on the diamond.

Despite the fact that they lost five of the six games played "on that invasion the Mountain-- eers crossed the finish line with a record of nine victories in 19 'starts. Their defeats on the 'eastern trip were by close scores in general they made a excellent showing. Only one game, tliat with the ftlumni on Monday, June 14, remains to be played and if It is won the 1926 varsity will finish the Reason in the .500 per cent, class. Capt. Phil Pflejrer and his teammates are now preparing for that encasement and have high hopes of winning.

Some clubs are.

lindlng the road rough and rocky, bot as a whole they are drawing well find the future brighter than In re cent years. Ed. arvey's Reaver Falls Elks are settling into a pace which local fansi are hoping will bring the O. P. league title to Beaver Falls.

The addition of Ed Hllty to the hurling' staff and the victory he brought when he held Massillon to thre hits struck a favorable key in loral fandom. Ililty pitched with the Townsend Steel a few years ago at New Brighton when he made a host of friend throughout tho valley who were glad to see him return. Then Johnny Pearson has started to hit emphasizing that he Is an Invaluable asset to the Elks. Lefty Hughes, who has been hobbling about with a "charley," Improving while the entire club is hitting harder and putting up a surer game. Tommy Toung, veteran second baseman, is playing better than ever and Zigey W'alxh is having a great time.

Ziggy'g hitting has been reliable nnd his better as a receiver has yt-t to be seen en thd Beaver Falls field. BE.tvr.it t.lttt OIK. tMZEU. Beaver Grays hav stepped out witli an independent aggregation under the leadership of George Shaw. Pha-r has lined up a group of athletes whom, he expects to carry the Grays into the front ranks.

Their opening games indicate they will be able to hold their own. East Rochester Firemen celebrated their fifth anniversary with a victory over ITomewood. I'nder the management of Bert Corficld and Pave But-termore the Firemen have developed an aggregation in East Kochester, which can stand up toe to toe with other valley clubs and slug away until the best man wins. Alex Pearson's Fry Pumpers, winners of the Independent and industrial league titles a year ago, are playing sounder baseball after getting away to a poor start in whl-h they dropped their first game to) Standard Sanitary, of New Hrighton. Pearson's club has come along re cently, which Indicates it will be it hard one to beat out for a third industrial pennant.

New Brighton Independents, rival of the Pumpers, have cut a wide swath to dato. Freedom West End inflicted a scar on their record Me moriai day, when they split a dmihlw-header. Outside of this reversal the Indies have steamed along unhampered. The West End has also found the going smoother than the aver age club. Four local leagues are keeping interest up among the amateur ball players.

In the Inter-Boro loop Mon day the schedule calls for the stronif Fallston crew to meet their Freedom rivals at Feedom. The tti-bons go to Monaca Heights, St. John Cubs are at Beaver Methodist Kplss copal. Beaver Tirates will face the Pump Juniors at Rochester and liar-netts fight It out with the ricJs at Monaca. Wednesday Freedom the Pettibons at Rochester.

The Thursday Is: Muti.n a Heights at Carnetts, Beaver Methodist Episcopal at Monaca Reds, St, John Cubs at Beaver Pirates and Fry Pump Juniors at Fallston. The Church league will appart be a fight between Brewer Bible of Marion Hill, First Methodist Episcopal of New Brighton and St. CeoilU of Rochester. In the early games these clubs seem to have the edge en the others. Next week the Boots Bibles meet St.

Cyril at New Brighton, St. Joseph's clash with First Methodist Episcopal, T. M. C. A.

plays at SC Cecilia and the Beaver Falls Presbyterians will be the opposition to the Brewer Bibles on the hill lot. Two games are booked for ti.e Beaver Church league. Tho Methodist and United Presbyterians play Tuesday and the Christians and Presbyterians on Thursday. Keystone p-riller, feated league leaders of the Industrial loop, will play the Fry Pumps Tuesday Rochester. It will be a chance for the Pumpers to tie up the race and also the opportunity for the Keystones to take a lead which will be hard for their rivals to overcome later In the campaign.

Other Tuesday games are Pittsburgh Bridge at Standard Sanitary and Colonial Sled at Colona Manufacturing. TAYLOR DEVELOPED W1SM.H. Beaver track fans are solid In tlieir praise of Haywood Taylor, coaoh of Beaver high school track team, which won the W. P. I.

A. L-, Tri-Statc and county track titles this year. To Taylor, fans attribute much of tho success, for in him they have found competent Instructor who has directed the school to another championship when prospects were regarded as mediocre. Taylor pulled the beys along together and created a happy family which gave their nil and developed into the best track and field team of the W. P.

I. A. L. Taylor has turned out a lot of (rack men at Beaver. Bill Butler, Geneva sprinter who rates as the best In the Tri-State district, and who, If given a chance, might rate among tho best of the country, is probably his big gest find.

Taylor took Bill as a junior in high school and taught the spooa boy most all ho knows about th running game. Other lads ho have picked tip track knowledge under Taylor are Bob Marquis and Goorge Peters, letter-men at Pitt. Then there are the stars of this season's team Ffl Pusch, Imns, the McConnel boys, Strothers brothers, Shaw, B. Nether-land, Linn and Chantler. Taylor has had a lot of experience In track.

From Wi until WSi he frequently competed in A. A. IT. meets In Pittsburgh and won a largo number of medals, "Hay" hs a boy of his own ready to go to high school next year and In whom he will be more than Interested. Haywood says the lad Is greatly Interested In track and football.

If he has the spirit of hia "dad" success will bo Ills. i A. A. (J. NOTES I Br JOII T.

Many of the diving experts of this country are against tho suggestions. Some of the rules proposed have recently been dropped from the A. A. V. rules.

Some of our local boxers are still looking for their prizes in connection with a recent show held in this cltv. It is to be hoped the registration committee will take some action on case of this kind. The club in question will receive no more sanctions for shows. It has been suggested by the Swiss-vale A. C.

that a benefit boxing tournament be staged to finance the boxing team that will attend the sesqul-centennlal boxing tournament which takes place on June 25 and 20 Entry blanks are ready for the A. O. H. track nnd fiield meet which takes place at West View Tark on Ju'y 3. There will likely be a big track and field meet at Srhenley oval on the morning of the Fourth, or the affair might be held at the ntt stadium.

The Hawaiian association Is the only one which has not accepted its appropriation with which to send its best swimmers to the National Swimming championships at the Sesqnl-Centennlal Exposition. Mrs. E. Ful-lard Leo. who Is chairman of th Ilawalan committee, cables that try- outs will be held in June and It is llltely that those who make the best showing will he sent to the states, for the title events.

Freddie Halsell of the Swlssvale A. C. made his appearance In the squared circle last week when he boxed at the Swlssvale A. C. show at East Pittsburgh.

He won his bout in ths first round much to the surprise of the crowd. Athletes who intend going to the Segqul-Centennlal had better look to their hotel accommodations at once, as It looks as though they will be fairly well crowded by the time the events take place. The rates have been advanced to some extent which is going to be a bad feature of the sesquieentennlal. Some of the local boxing clubs will likely stage outdor boxing shows with which to raise money to send teams to the semicentennial. The boxing show held at the Elks last week was about the final one of the season.

The bouts held there in last few months have been well attended and they have been above the average in quality. It is likely that the Elks No. 11 will hold month-ly shows In the coming winter. Eleanor Garrattl and Bunny Fergus of the Southern Pacific association of the A. A.

V. will both be at the sesquieentennlal swimming championships. Miss Garrattl made an excellent showing at the Indoor nationals held at Florida laat February and she will likely place in some of the outdoor title events. Captain Adams, manager of O'Dlva, witnessed the Chesapeake River swim of Miss Lilly Cannon pome time ago and he Is confident that she will make the channel swim for which she Is now preparing. The Captain thinks Miss Cannon is tho best long distance swimmer In the country and that her performance in swimming the Chesapeake was marvelous.

She competed in the Women's National championships at St. Augustine last Hiring, but did not place In any of the title events. The class of men and women swimmers that will attend the National outdoor championships at I'hlladelphla in July and August will be tho best in the United States. In fact, there will be more and ftronger competition than at Detroit last year and Dietx; Central Presbyterian, Wm. Thomas.

Contestants must he members of one of the Oakland churches or Sunday school, and must have attended at least two Sundays before the meet. All entries must bo countersigned by pastors or Sunday school superintendents. This should bo taken care of or several entries will not be elig ible. Uibbons will bo awarded to the winners of first, second and third pace In each event, except that only relay teams coming In first will recede ribbons. A silver loving cup will be presented to tho winning church.

Points will be given for the first five places as follows: five for first, four for second, three for third, wo for four tli mid one for fifth. Players Believe Lowrey and Berlin-quette Will Be Disposed Of. Many Offers Received for Capt. Conacher Although the 1920-27 hockey heason is four months away. Henry Town-send, president and owner of the Pirate entry In the National I'rofes-sional league.

Is busying himaelf these days laying his plans for the coming campaign. Realizing that he will have to hare a stronger team than last season tt cope with the other entries, the locnj owner has Manager Odle Cleghorn on the lookout for at least four nw men. President Townsend f-aid last night that he had strings on three hieh-class puckmen, and that a fourth probably would be signed before many more days. The Pirate owner did not Intimate just who would be let go, but It is the consensus of opniion among those In the know that Louie Berlinquette and Krank Lowrey will not be offered new contracts. Then there are about three other players on the club who might be used In traces.

This of course is only problematical at this time. Tll vkt vctn. With Chicago, Detrnlt and a second team in New York added to the National league, 10 clubs will make up the circuit the coming season. Thj new clubs will be made up of players from teams in the Western Professional league last season, with the addition of several amateurs who will desert the slmon pures next winter. While President Townsend would not divulge the names of players who might be sold or traded, It is almost a certainty that P.oy Worteri, Harold Darnigh, Hlb Milks, Herb Prury, Puke McCurry, winp-man, will be kept.

It Is known that several clubs have been after the services of Capt. Conacher, r.oger Smith, and a few others, but Just what action will be taken by Presi dent Townsend will not be known until he confers with Manager Cleg-horn. Toronto and New Tork All-Americans especially are anxious to get Conacher. The Leafs offered Dt'tch Cain and for the "Big Train" the middle of last season, but this offer met deaf ears. Later the Toronto management offered Adams, a star wingman, for Connie, and ore of the leading scorers last season, but this, too, was turned down.

The Ootham owners would have parted with plenty of money and players to pet the Pirate captain, but their overtures went for naught. Since Jess Spring has been returned to the New Tork Americans there will have to be at least one more new defense man acquired. Sprlne was only loaned to the Pittsburgh club IaFt season. Skipper Cleghorn Is expected to come here from Montreal within week or so for a conference with President Townsend anentthe makeup of the 1920-77 team, and at which time something more definite will be made known. FIRST BAPTIST WINS CHURCH AQUATIC MEET.

Forty-two entrants from nine churches of the Oakland district competed In the seventh annual Oakland T. M. C. A. church swimming meet at Sehenley High pool last night.

The First Baptists carried off first honors with S0'4 points, Ascension Episcopal was second with 21 and the Oakland Presbyterians third with 13 ty. Others placed as follows: First United Presbyterians 8, Sehenley Heights M. E. O'i Central Presbyterians 5. Herron Ave.

Presbyterians 5. The meet attracted one of the biggest entry lists and was one of the most successful In the history of the event. Harwicks Ahead. Natrona tried desperately to come from behind to win from Harwlck, but fell short with her rally, losing 8 to 6.

Call Walnut after in. ilng what they believe will be the ''strongest team they have ever had, the varsity may be thwarted in its efforts. 1 A review of the present varsity's season shows that it enjoyed little i of the good fortune that enabled the 1920 outfit to win LI of Us 23 tames, Last year the Mountaineers were favored by numerous "breaks" while the worshipped gods of luck seemed to frown on the team Coach Rodgers had this spring. Injuries -and other troubles beset Rodgers at almost every turn and under the elf cumstances the season's record is Tery good.

I MOST PA'S The prospects were much better than they wero last Fear and while the season was not as successful most fans are satisfied and still be- lleve that the squad headed by Capt. Pfleger was one of the best West Virginia has had in recent years. It boasted a first class infield, a reliable pitching: staff, good catchers and a good outfield. Before leaving to meet eastern Schools the Mountaineers won three of four games played here with Ohio schools, downing Muskingum college twice and dividing the spoils 'in a two-game series the nest week. They lost games by close scores to Georgetown, Catholic university, Quantico Marines and Camp Hola-' bird on the eastern trip and though badly buffeted in thoso battles they closed the trip by defeating -the Naval academy toasers at Annapolis.

They did much better against Georgetown and the other leading teams than any squad West Virginia has sent east In recent years. On their return from the eastern trip the Mountaineers broke even In four games with Mid-Atlantic league teams. They lost to Clarksburg and after going to pieces to lose one tilt to Untontown they came back strong to vi-hlp tho same team 16-11 the next day. A few days later they had little trouble downing Fairmont 8-2 In a fast game here. TRIM (iftOVE CITY TWIGS.

Over-confidence was largely responsible for West Virginia's defeat at the hands of arove Civ at tbat place and the same malady caused the team to let down in the second Juniata game afteer winning the first 19-8. West Virginia tossers ral- lied to win both battles from Grove City here a week ago and the team had hopes of downing tho Charleston Senators last Monday when the game was called off because of rain, tt was the first time this year that the Mountaineers had figured In a postponement because of bad weather and all the other games sched- Uled were played. i. Capt. Fflcger and Bill Helier, ont-i fielders, and "Skeet" Farley, Infield-; ers, are the only regulars to be lost by graduation.

When Coach Rodgers 'calls baseball candidates together 1 again next spring he should have Ed Morrison, "Ducky" Phillips and Ralph Rowan, Infielders; "Kit" Lewis Ed Nugent and Clarence Lafferty, outfielders; Ed Humphrey and Arden Wadsworth, catchers; John Harsanyt Bob Breneman and Sam Ixiplnsky all first string men on this year's varsity available for service. I The outlook for 1027 is good and barring tho unexpected the Moun- talneers should have a highly suc- cessful campaign. Some good mate-i rial will move up from this year's i freshman Bquad and Coach Rodgers should not find It difficult to develop another strong team. i Oakland Churches In Meet At Stadium there is lltla doubt that several records will be broken. Three important track and field meets are scheduled for June.

On the 12th THE PRESS Girls Track and Field championships will be held at Kennywood Park and the Amerlcnn Legion will hold their meet after the girls events. On June 13 the Senior A. M. A. Track and Field championships will be staged by THE PHES3 at Pitt Stadium.

There are likely to be some out of town entries for THE PRESS event, as the open events are attracting attention In cities ouf side of Pittsburgh. Joe Rosenal of the Duquesne Library Is going to enter his water polo team in the Junior outdoor nationals which are to take place In the new pool of the Detroit Boat club on August 14. It Is also likely that the Homestead Library club will enter its team. Some Pittsburgh swimmers will likely go over for the other swimming events. Dick Llsbey of the Xorthslde Market is getting together a Btrlng of amateur boxers and some of them are already making good.

He has on the team Mike Hogan, one of the best lightweights In this city, and Bill Ortllebe and Bob Smoller. He Intends adding more to this string and will enter them in all the local shows. They made a good impression at the recent show at Elks No. 11. Joe Sandusky, of the Emerald club boxed In Improved form at the Elks show last week and with a little more coaching will be among the top notch- ers.

lie beat Bob Smoller and made a great showing. Toung Angelo won his bout at the Elks show last week against a less experienced youngster from the Brad-dock Library named Tlivak. Angelo Is one of the mos-t willing boxers In these parts, and is always ready to go on with anyone that Is near his weight. It Is gradually getting to the point that the competitors In special boxing bouts will have to make weight, as there are too many complaints that this fellow or that fellow is so much heavier than the fellow he Is going to box. This condition stopped a good bout at the Elks last week.

It must be remembered that these special bouts are at catch weights and there Is never more than three or four pounds difference between the boxers. But still they hold out for a lighter or less experienced boxer. If they were compelled to weigh In thfre would be more trouble as they would have to do some serious tranlng. The Maeabbes of Homestead are thinking of holding an amateur boxing show about June 21 in their hall. Four star bouts will be staged between the best boxers In this section.

Emerson Norton, the famous Georgetown athlete, stopped In this city on his way home from school, and he Is thinking very seriously of locating in this city if he can get some employment. Norton competed in the tnter-collegiates but placed only fifth in the J6-Ib shot-put, his put being over 45 feet. Norton says the competition in the inter-colleg-lates this year was the strongest in history. Norton may compete In THE PRESS meet next Saturday. The following is the correct score for the point trophy at the Kenny-wood Park meet held on Decoration Day: Westlnghouse club 20; Pittsburgh A.

21: Pitt 11; Unattached 8: Pennsylvania R. R. G. C. Caughey club East Liberty 4.

Miss Juliet Lubln of Buffalo will among the starters In the 220-yards senior national back stroke championship for women at the sesquieentennlal In August. This young miss is a protege of narry Halns-worth of the Buffalo Athletic club who says she Is going to surprise tho swimming world. Harry Glanoy, former local swimmer, will not make tho trip to Germany with the Cincinnati coach, as Russell Webb Is being taken in his place. Coach Rraunlnger, of the Cincinnati team, advised this office that they would sail for Germany this week. The Cincinnati team will be back In time for the nationals at I'hlladelphla and when over seas will visit Germany and Austria.

This in nn excellent trip nnd it Is a pity the former Pittsburgh boy missed the trip. Olnney it is" understood, lias cast his lot with the New Penn Athletic club of Philadelphia.

Thompson. Hay and HlKKins moon of short arms, Soon France's flash rolled over, "all In." He may have "iiult." Hundreds think ho did. Ask feicampi. He may tell tome day. It pays not to overlook the fact that in our state their exists a big element, ready to tight legalize! puellium at the first opportunity.

Folks who like boxing should protect it at every chance. Pennsylvania's chief executive was soundly lambasted for giving his official O. K. to Die McBrlde bill. He was quoted two years ago as saying that "any time Its operations became annoyins be meant to suspend Its provisions and squelch all licensed sport." Have a care, boxing men, Don't stir up cur antls.

riRNKIl GI.OVK Every now and then you hear sports mention a youth and remark, "It's a pity that lad never took up pugilism, lie packs a solid wallop, Is swift footed snd mentally alert. We tried our best to Induce him to try leather slamming. No go." Last week a young fellow of this clans met a tragic death in our community. Several years ago, a cluster of this man's pals came to the writer, spouted this boy's natural attainments and plead for his support. They believed "that If THE PUKSS man gave their hero a good talking to and pointed out his bright prospects for a ring career, the young man would gladly reconsider a resolve not to be a box fighter." If so, mates planned to put him under care of a well-known tutor.

They felt sure that a high notch awaited this lad once he was shown how to lead, slip and block. In off the chain contests, this mortal had never been bested. So rumor goes. He had dropped and kayoed fellows rated as some pumpkins in street scrapping, aulck on timing, a puncher beyond the average youth, why shouldn't he make good? No amount of talk could induce this battler to dig into professional pugilism. He gave an odd creed for refusal, basing his negative Answer on taw Idea that ho was perfectly satisiii-f to be able to care for himself whenever need for fistienffs arose.

He wanted no saddle nose or cauliflower ear to mark him up. One night he became encaged In altercation. Nature's weapons were discarded. His opponent sprang a "gat" It barked and bit. One leaden missile took a death toll.

No doubt every community has its natural born pit prospect who spurns the pro game at a steady diet. East Pittsburgh several years ago boasted of a quiet cltlien capable of holding in check a half dozen assailants. He floored 'em as fast aa they got up. "Be a ring fighter?" chirruped friends. "Not for me," be retorted.

OLD QUERY RENEWED. A New Yorker started something last week when he revamped that oft repeated query: "Did Carp shako Dempsey with a right handed wallop or did Jackey feign trembling for picture purposes?" Like the question, "Who soaked Billy Patterson?" this enigma will stand for time Immemorial. Not long ago, a bug; slammed this problem at the writer. Our questioning friend averred that he had a bet on the matter. He didn't name whether he was ps co.

Here Is the rejoinder flven him. From the perch occupied by THE PRESS man, not over 20 rows from that battleground, It certainly did look as if a starboard cuff delivered bjr Gorgeous Georges In the final 10 seconds of the second Inning made J. II. P. wobble In his tracks.

It was a long swing. Dempsey was starting an offensive. Carp unleashed a counter attack, driving his heavier foe backwards. Jack's broad back was turned toward the writer. The punch could, therefore, be seen ringing home on Demp-sey's left jaw.

It was the last of a flock of flippers. To all Intents and purposes, this swat did rock Its receiver. Jack shlvvered. his less shook and Qlr a second it looked ns If he was going to drop. In a Jiffy he reined up nnd cut loose a barrage winding up this round with a handsome lead.

It's evident that numerous onlookers imagined Jack was hurt. A cool headed spectator In a scat next to tho writer muttered "Frenchle will beat Dempsey in the next round." You can wager that challengers of his quip, were whls-lllng to keep up their courage. Next Inning however, Jack cut out long range stuff. Keeping close to Carp, he bored In, rubbed him with mitts Incessantly, biffed him with a si- June days in flutiuna are being marked by unnecessary wrangles between fistic followers. There is certainly no need for one-fourth of these controversies.

Fanland taking bldea in such happenings, muerliitr stnd snarling with opponents, will surely not help pugilism. No wonder a veteran patron Is snorting: "There seems to be more fighting outside of rings than in them these days." He called attention to that tiresome effort of New York's boxing commission to force a Dempsey-Wills match os being a genuine trouble maker. There are others. Add to this legal maneu vers by a local manager In hopes of enforcing a contract with his meal ticket, nliis a dispute affecting Penn sylvania's boxing board, and you have a bunch of undesirable Incidents trailing professional boxing. The writer being familiar with glove sport for years, and knowing well how quick antls grab every bit of ammunition useful In their crusade acrainst scran pastimes, has ever dis couraged paper flurries wherein prlove fun is brought out In a poor light.

Years ago when a mlt sport was only permitted by complacent authorities, police officials, on granting a license for a boxing bout, were bound to say to the promoter, "See that you don't get us In wrong." Those words of warning meant that every showman and his employes should exercise care In conducting a glove glee. Particularly did a near borouch chief of police object to late starts and finishes In fistic feasts. rlnlmed that exnerlence had taught him disorder might be expected In either cane, esneelallv If an event was dragged close on to midnight. A free-for-all fight following a scrap around early morning brought sharp protests from citizens. They scored the police department right and lert Next council meeting usually found an Irate member with a demanding an investigation of police laxity.

STOT STRONGLY EVrnF.SCHED. This compellel authorities to "lay low" for a spell. They refused permit settos. Mlllvale, McKees Rocks, Reserve townships and other havens of heave usually had a closed season after antls arose enmasse and demanded to know why such brutal sport was permitted In their community. Until the wind subsided, those combat fields were unavailabla for glove doings.

It has come to be that boxing: men Imagine their gams Is too strongly entrenched to be dislodged by a few kickers. That's a poor Concerted protests by enemies of maul are ever dangerous to ring diversions. Don't forget that once upon a time T. Roosevelt ran for office in New York state with an anti-boxing platform as his big campatfm cry. Teddy knew the game was helnpr exploited and preyed upon by pure-thing sports, ne gained hundreds of votes by his demand for pure and honest pugilism.

It was shown that a member of a boxing board was a free borrower from boxing promoters. One fellow was bold In his exaction of loans, which apparently he never Intended to pay. This came out In testimony. It aided Teddy In Retting a grip whereby glove pastimes were shelved for a long period. last week was well-known to local followers of athletics.

Mr. Delaney has brought high class track teams here for THE PRESS meets, and was one of the best authorities on athletics In the country. Ho will be bad ly missed in the western city. The new swimming pool at Oak-mont will be opened within the next few weeks and the opening attraction will likely be the star swimmers of the Illinois Athletic club. The pool is one of the best in the state, and should prove to be a great attraction.

Blanks aro ready for the A. O. H. meet at West View Park on July 'M There are somo Important events on the program. The United Labor League will not stage their track nnd field and aquatic meet at West View thla Labor Day, so there will likely be some other celebration Instead.
