The double-header put the Cubs in the lead by 167 points, while the evenings work set the Casinos back to a tie at 500 with the Knights! Temporarily the Knights are the cellar champions, with twe winnings out of jsii gamps played.

The games of Friday evening were the best of the season, the players of the teams now having hit their stride. There were seven scores of 200 and better made during the evening. Secretary Mike Donnelly setting the pace with 217 to his credit, all of which is bowling some. The eeonings high score went to W. Koch, who amassed a total of 589.

Under a league ruling the managers have submitted the names of all their players to Secretary Donnelly and no new talent will now be signed without the consent of the other teams in the league. The teams have the following players on their roster: Cybs W. Koch, C. Koch, Morgan, -Dietrich, Meisenbacb, and Umholtz. Casinos C.

While Ursinus has one of the best teams in its history and F. and M. is correspondingly weak, Urginus is taking no chances and had exceptionally hard scrimmage all week.

The spirit of the men is high also, very snappy work marking the practice' all week. Weller has been drilling his men In some new plays which they have not yet used against a rival college.

The season is rapidly Living up to their contractal agreement with Johnny Evers, the Phillies have giveil the Trojan his unconditional release, it was announced Thursday. When the Phils secured Evers from the Boston. Braves, during the. midseason last summer they agreed to hand him his unconditional release when the season expired.

In taking over the contract from 'the Braves the Phils also assumed all obligations of that document, which road for $10,006 per year, a $2,000 bonus If the club won the pennant and an unconditional release when the 1917 season expired. For the Braves to get Evers three years ago they had to draw up this iron-bound clad contract before Evers would sign. The loss of Evers will not come as a great jolt to Philadelphia fandom nor will It weaken the playing strength of the Phils. Ever has seen his best days as a ball player, and he was but little help to the Phils In their unsucessful attempt to overhaul thf Giants last summer. Evers was purposely secured by Moran to help in thl drive against the Giants, but Moran made a wrong guess, anff.

Instead ol strengthening his team, he weakened it, for Neihoff was a much more valuable player to the Phils than Evers. The Phils could not give out any information what Evers intended to do next year, but rumors have linked his name as being one of the aspirants for the job of piloting the -managerless Cards for next year. Evers first broke Into professional ball at Troy, N. where he lives, back in 1902. The next year he joined the Cubs, and, after a poor start that season, blossomed forth Into the clubs regular second-sacker in 1903.

From then on until 1913 Evers was one 6f the greatest, second basemen in the game. He in four worlds series melons the Cubs cut in 1906-07-08 and 10, but he did not play against the Athletics in 1910, being on the bench with a broken leg. He was released to the Boston Braves In 1914 and immediately started to help George Stallings mould his team intc the winders of the year, for that sea-eon the Braves won the pennant, thn tor.e the Mack machine to pieces in four straight worlds steries games.
