Ten BIG LEAGUE TEAMS BREAK CAMP AND START NORTHWARD BASKETBALL SUIT HAY COME NEXT Philadelphia, 30 With baseball having its innings in the professional basketball is likely to follow suit if the movement to play a series of three games by the Trenton team of the Penn State league and the Germantown quintet, champions of the Eastern circuit goes through.

Announcement was made here to. day that two teams will play the first game at Trenton on Friday with the second contest on April 5 and athird, if necessary, on April 8. The coifrt proceedings may come through the protest of one of the 1 owners of the Trenton club in the Eastern League, the ultimatum pronounced by President Scheffer and Harry Hough, the veteran basket bailer representing Dave Ben i nis, manager of the Germantown Club, has to say. HOUGH THE FIXER Joseph Manze, who formerly was a co manager with Jesse Hendler of the Trenton Eastern League team, i which lost its franonise temporarily i wKen Manze refused to name a suspended player at a game with Cam den, during the second half season, established an opposition club in Trenton, putting his team into the Penn State circuit. Manze and Hough, representing Bennis, got together and fixed up the series, the place was named and the referees chosen, "Midge" Ferguson, to toss up the ball in the first contest and Herman Baetzell in the second struggle.

Jesse Hendler, hair owner of the Trenton Eastern League team, hearing of the proposed eeries of games, protested the playing of the games in Trenton. President Scheffer has ruled that if Germantown plays in the series, Benis will lose his franchise. Harry Hough declares that the league has no jurisdiction over the players now that the season is concluded. He declared that the games i will be played and that he will take i the case to court if neccessary. THREE OUTLAWS HERE Germantown will use Glasco, Hol man, Meehan, Ridley, Franckle, Hough and "Red," Lansing, while Trenton will have Sedran, Friedonan, Lawrence, Cashman, Nawman, Lefty Collender and VSkeets" Murphy.

As can be seen in the Trenton squad are three players, lAwrence, Cash man and Newman, who are on the outlaw list of the Eastern League, having Jumped the circuit to play with Parkesburg.

Bate Ruth is suffering from a sprained it it YOUR BOSOM FRIEND II 17 I 14 R4C HOW TO SCORE A BASEBALL GAME Radical changes have been made in both the playing and scoring rules. A careful study of these alterations should be made in order to avoid errors in the box score and summary. For scoring of hits, errors, see rules 84, 85 official (Spalding) baseball guide. In line "hits off the words: "None out in Inning" must be added where a pitcher, after pitching a certain number of full innings, is relieved in the next inning with none out.

The names of winning and losing pitchers must be inserted in blank line provided in summary when they are not clearly indicated by the box score. All features of box; score and summary must conform with decisions of official scorer, whenever such rulings are available. TO PROVE BOX SCORE Add the times at bat to those outs and bases, received, not credited as a time at bat, such as base on balls, hit by pitchers, and sacrifices. From this total subtract the sum of the players left on bases and opponents' put outs. The result should equal the runs scored by the club, the box score of which is being proved.

If it is desired to find the number of players left on base, subtract the sum of opponents' put outs and runs scored by the club the box score of which is being tested. The result should equal the number of players left on base. A brief form for proving a box, follows: (ABBBHbP.S) (LoB. OPO) Runs: OLIVET LAYS CLAIM TO BEING CHAMPS Now that the East Reading Olivets lay claim to the title of Berks county semi professional champions there is bound to be a good deal of lively controversy. The regular Olivet team will not lay 'claim to the championship this year.

This team has been a good deal broken up by reason of the strongest Olivet men playing on outside teams. According' to an old rule of the club they are not allowed to continue to play on the Olivet team while they are members of other teams. Thus the Olivets have been materially weakened, though they have still put up a very plucky fight and played many goo games out of town. They have not met the East Reading Olivets, but the latter have a better record than the old Olivets. THEY STILL LEAD "While the Olivet team does not lay claim, to the championship, however, Olivet players still believe they are the peers of any in the county.

That is they declare that if all the Olivet players on the various county teams, Birdsboro, Shillington, Boyertown, were to be withdrawn and if they were to form an all Olivet team, the Olivet lineup would be unequalled. Thus Charley Gaul, Leroy Trupp, Fred Adams, Carl Sailer, Elmer Bix ler, Arthur Hilbert and several others who have been playing with county teams would form a very formidable aggregation, which probably no other team could defeat. It is not likely that such a challenge will be issued or such a lineup will be effected, but OOivet men say they are sure that a team of this sort, made up of old, long continued Olivet members, could readily down any team in the county or in adjoining counties. If Gaul and Trupp should be taken from the Boyertown team, and if Hilbert and Bixler were to be taken from the Birdsboro team, and if Sailer and Adams were to be taken from the Pottsville team, these teams would be so weakened that their resistance to all Olivet would be Ineffective. MEN LOOK GOOD A number of the players on these county teams are Y.

M. CA. men. It has been suggested that the Olivet men be lined up on one side and the T. M.

C. A. men on the other for a final decision of the county championship. If such a game could be arranged it would attract a good deal of Interest. Perhaps the Walnuts could" be brought in to make it a triangular contest.

But the Walnuts have not done much playing of late, and their players have been a good deal scattered. Their club's headquarters was shut up recently. STRONG ON 30CCER Princeton, N. March 30 Coach A. Nles of the Princeton soccer squad predicts a stronger 1921 team than that of last year.

DRONEY IN SHAPE FOR BIG BOUT According to reports from Lancaster, Tim Droney, the lightweight, is getting himself into tip top condition. He is scheduled for a ten round battle with Joe Tlplitz, of Philadelphia, to be staged at the armory here on Saturday night. Droney will be accompanied by a delegation of local rooters from Lancaster.

Tim hopes to take the measure of TIplitz when they come together. It is his desire to prove to the Philadelphia promoters, that he is the only logical opponent for Lew Tendler. Droney has boxed Tender twice before, losing an eight round battle, and holding the famous Phll adelphia southpay to a draw in a six roilnd bout. Droney is not anxious to meet Tendler again. 15 FIGHTS IN BALTIMORE Tiplitz, who is to oppose Droney, Is now in Baltimore where he engages in a fifteen round bout to a decision with Gene Delmont of Memphis He will rest after the battle, and will leave on an early train tomorrow for this city.

Tlpjitz was also scheduled to meet Johnny Dundee at the Olytn pia club In Philadelphia on Monday night, but this bout is now off, as the Olxmpia burned to the ground. "The card of bouts which supports the Droney Chaney setto is as follows: Patsy Wallace of Philadelphia vs. Willie Allen also of Denny Grieves of Bisbee, vs. Kid Wagner of Philadelphia; and Peck Miller of Manayunk vs. Eddie Hayes, of Shenandoah.

All will be eight rounders. An unusually large advance sale of tickets is reported for the show, and the promoters are jubilant over the expected success of this undertaking. Matchmaker Kennedy said that should the audience at this show prove to him that the fans want to see, more of these high class shows, he will negotiate for the appearance of Mike O'Dowd, Kid Williams, Danny Kramer, Joe Lynch and other top notch boxers.

It Is now ready for the opening of the box office for exhibition games which may precede the 'regular season. The stand will increase the seating capacity by about 1,500. It is located between the grand stand built in 1919 and the right field bleachers. A new bleacher is to be placed along the Second street side of the park, so that the total seating capacity will be nearly 6,000.

This will mean that the Reading International League club will have seating space for all its patrons this year, and fans will not have to be turned away, as was the case last year on numerous occasions. GRADING GOES RAPIDLY Work on the' grading of the field is being pushed as rapidly as possible. The right field is now practically completed, with its foundation of ashes and a good top soil. The diamond has been smoothed up like a billard table, with all the stones and pebbles removed, and this was rolled on Wednesday and is now ready for the D. Milton Bohst has been awarded the contract for the sodding of the diamond, and along the front of the grand stand, and will start work on Monday.

FENCE IS FINISHED The fence is now practically completed around the entire field, and the field has been very much enlarged. It will be hard work to crack them over the fence this year. The dugouts for the home club and visiting players add to the big league appearance of the grounds, and the whole improvement will be a big revelation to the fans of the city and county on the opening day. The association is spending upwards of $15,000 on the improving and beautifying of the grounds. It is also expected that the greatest baseball team that, ever represented the city will be seen on the field this season.

OLIVET TEAMS HAVE FIERCE RACEONHAHD The race for the basketball championship of the Olivet clubs is waxing fierce. Each of the three clubs has its own leagues These leagues play diligently during the season. At the end of the season the champions of the several leagues meet each other to decide the final supremacy. At Club No. 1 the Monarchs are champions of the Tuesday league and the Resolutes of the Friday league.

At Club No. 3 the Clovers lead in the Tuesday league and the Nationals in the Friday league. At Club No. 4 the Marions and the Garnets are the leaders, respectively. The latter team has not lost a game all season.

to decide the real champion ship the Monarchs, the Clovers and the Marions must meet. The winners will then possess the Tuesday league cup. The Resolutes, the Nationals and the Garnets will compete for the Friday league cup. DECIDED IN LAST MINUTE Several of these contests were not decided until the very last minute. Tuesday night the Marions won out at Club No.

4 by defeating the Ajax. There are two more games to be played in this league, but the Marions can't be displaced. Tuesday's game was warm and hearty, but tha, Marions won easily, 19 to 5. There is always much talk about this time as to the amateur champions of Reading and Berks county. Much of this talk is of the hot air variety.

No team can be champion until the Olivet contest has been adjusted. All of the champions of town or county must be willing to meet the winners of the Olivet league series. The Night league represents the stronger and older players. The Friday Night league consists mostly of boys from 15 to 19. Thus the Olivet league winners represent two classes, and all who aspire for championship honors must be willing to meet one winner or the other.

Otherwise their claim for the championship is invalid. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiii1 Chevrolet Offer Appeals to Everyone BY selling 50,000 Model "Four Nine ties" before August 1st, 1921, we can effect large economies in materials and manufacture.
