Next Friday night the first team from the Sooth Jersey League will meet the new team, when Wildwood, with DoUb. Eddie Bacon. Doc Walker. Huff and Allen Bossier will be the attraction. Not Picking Setups The management of the Sea Ifde City leant is not picking setup* for their team, despite the overwhelming score In the opening game. The team which opposed Sea Isle City on Friday night played against Ocean City In 1SJ1 under the colors of Holy Name, and gave this resort a severe trouncing. All the basketball players in this section are anxious to get the game started properly in Sea Isle and hope by next year to hare aroused sufflcleul interest among the townspeople then- so that Sea Isle will have a team in the South Jersey League From th Indications last Friday night it won’t is- a dilflcull matter to soon have the citlcens of the resort rabid over the court game. Ike Wildwood management is co-operating with the new team to the extent that it was on their suggestion that the game was arranged, and at their suggestion that Tom Delaney and Liretey. two of the Wildwood stars, compete for Sea Isle when the two tearas meet Friday

night

Penn Fire Begins Well Pennsylvania and Yale opened on New Teat's Day what appqan will be the ctosest inter-coilegiai- basketball league race lor saveral yea's. Penn won the game by a *0-1* score by staging a brilliant rally In the second half. The Eli flv< lead 12-12 at the rinse of the first period, but tile spurt during the closing sinua of Us- fracas gave the Bed and Blue five the Unit blood In the league contests. Yale r.ppeared with a whole new outfit and nnder the tutelage o# a new coach, due to the death last summer of Joe Fogarty, who has directed the court activities at Yale for the past few seasons. The Ell's showed much power during that first half, and but for a let down fu the latter part of the game would have won out.

! e first half stood 31•d the shore live and • ond period the home ngs rath.-r easy, being •effect their |u.s>inx i up a larger score

Tom Ivl.iney was the srorlnt rtar of the game, tossi'.c in nine t»..-pointers. The game was dlstinctn in the number of beautiful km* .-hott which were caged by me:i:lM-rs of lioth teams and Delaney led them all when it earn* to caging the long one*. Five of his lie:.! tosses were from tin middle of the floor. The outstanding player of the gatin', however, was hint. h;.n Lively. Wildwood player IJvcxy was everywhere on the floor and it was hia brilliant floor wok which made it possible for the Sea Ish team to run up the command in;: lead in the Jirst part of the game. His long arms eompMel) . mothered the attempts at unnug of the Camden players. With the possible exception ot the Morris Guards team, the m w Sea Isle aggregation flashed a better passing game than any t«am which has been seen in South Jeisey this season Every n« ti.U-r ot the new team played exrellint basketball and tbe large c owd which filled th. hall w.rc loud in their praise for the Itam.

Penn, with a team of veterans, was rather disappointing during the first half and the spectators axe convinced that Coach Eddie McNichol will have to do some snappy work if the Red and Slue an to cop the championship this season.

Must Watch Cornell and Columbia Perhaps Penn will come through with the championship, which ■everal years ago was a certainty for the R-' and Blue. The standard of the teams in the kague this season is not quite no high as In former seanuns. Princeton, winners of the title last year, lorn most of their stars and reaene material through gradua'u.n and Coach A! W:ttm>: ir haviuw his hands full trying to mould another quintet.

Back in the old days—before tbe advent of Babe Ruth, the rabbit ball, circus seat* at world’s aeries ..nd 'other noveltle*—the common complaint of l»all rluhs was their'Jack of hitting strength. Asked to explain any failure of the club In a given pennant race the average manager would extoll all the brilliant points of hi* various play.-rs and then mind up with the plaintive tn.an ''The helm ins they ain't billin'.’* But times have changed since then. Marie. Big league cluln n</w seem to be centering their efforts on strengthening the ft-lding the defensive— side of the team. Numbered among the illustration* are the Browns and the Yanke.** (If tbe Brown* will pardon the comnauy). Huggins, once boss of the world’s best ball murdering outlit. fat now *t riving to rebuild his infield with young peppery players who can stop something besides chariey horse* and bunts. Browns Seek Better Defense And George Si*ler. tn perfecting bis teem for what be earnestly believes will be THE YEAR. U aware that, while flis outfit has plenty of batting s’rength. It needs a more effective defense. This chatter is. in a way. pre- ! paratory to Introducing, therefore. ; Mr. Oscar Mellillo. young is-cond baseman acquired by the Brown* from the Milwaukee club of the American Association. Two cr three years ago Mellillo. with hi* present rep. might have been pasned up by tbe l.tg league dubs because of bis failure to hit in tbe minors in a manner indicating ability to sock big league burling. But aa It Is his fielding attracted tbe alu-nlion of the major •rout* and it is with a feeling that bis hitting can be improved enough to pas* that the Brown* turned over five players to the A 1 A. team for him. Judging by th* fact that tbe Milwaukee club turned down a couple of offer* of 850.000 In cold coin for the lad to accept the Brown* offer, tbe players t.-ndered must amount to a hit more than that in value to the minor club at least. Mellillo has b“en called ’’the new Lajoie" by association writer*. He I* not only a graceful Inflelder. but he set. laM year, a fielding record that rurpassed the hung up hy Sapoleou the

It must I- said in !»- half of Mellilio and his work that the ball Ijirry handled piolmbly did not have the lip to It the pres ent day rahhit hall boasts. That M llilio Is fast in hts fielding Is further attested hy the fact that he took part in 132 dool.h plays and started an even 5» of them hiiUM-lf. He hit .2*3 with the Blewet> last season Tin- isn’t a healthy mark as halting average* of youngsters go nowadavs. but hi* teat in collecting 23C basew j:» hits indicate* that he mak-s the

Ring started his professional baseball caner with the Robins In 1914. He did not take part tn anv games with the Brooklyn club, however, and he was t*s>n released to the Albany teat.; of the New York State League. Shortly afterward he was sent to the la.well club of the New- England League, and he finished that season with that tram. While with the Low. II club during the season of 1914 he won 17 game* and lost 14. At the start ol the s-aaon of 1915 Ring was aoiuir.d from the Lowell club by the Yankee*, hut he did not pilch any game* to. the local club. Items sent to the Jersey City club ot the International league. While with Jersey City that year he scored 12 victories against 17 defeat*. U- join-1 rd the Yankees again at the start of Ovv following season, hut he was soon sent to the Louisville club of the American Association. . After winning one game and losing none while with the Uxilsvilh-t-am. he was sent lu the I’tlca i club of the New York Stale League. While with that learn, he w..n 25 games and lust 15.

Drafted by Beds

At the end of the season of 1918 Ring was drafted from the Ftira , club hy the Cincinnati Reds. Hr won three gomes and lost seven , white with the Reds dining the: season of 1917. and he finished the M-ason with the Buffalo club of the International League. Whil. with Buffalo that year he, won four games and lost two : In 1918 he was back with the Rods once more, hut aftor winning nine games and losing five while with the Cincinnati club, he wa* released to the Chattanooga club of the Southern Association.
