TWILIGHT LEAGUE

. Backers of the Twilight League felt themselves just a wee bit In the gloaming: when it developed that three of the heaviest boosters of the league bad decided to wlthd raw. These are: The Policemen, the Bankers, and the Times. Always strong for the league, these teams found themselves surrounded with such an array of expert and professional talen that it would be farcical for them to attempt to enter seriously the games this summer. Not much, fun, said they, in going into the leaguo to play under the handicap of knowing that they were aligned against past masters of the game, comparitlvely speaking. Now they propose to form a league of their own. Tlf?y invite other teams of equal strength to ret on the band wagon. George Ilanlon. manager of the cops, is backing this last project. Yesterday the Bankers got their suits. Nice s-rey striped pant, they

are. with nice grey striped suii

And black peanut caps. But i' -hard to distinguish whether v -wording across the shirt bosoiv. says Bankers, Bakers or Barkers. Now all the boys need are sonic games.

a challenge:

Hartwell's Colts, ambitious young bloods of the diamond, call this department to relay a challenge to any team i r.the city to meet them on any ball ground Sunday afternoon. Managers can get games by calling Bill at 931W before 6 P. M. ani after that hour call Mr. Bill at 3483.

WAS ROBERTS ROBBED! Somebody's always crabbing the worksl Friends of Mace Roberts storm this office to tell what a rotten deal the Hammond boxer got at Shelby last Saturday night. What they say about Battling Xelson, referee and erstwhile reporter, is plenty. Mace and his friends were Just babes in the woods when they went down there to Shelby. The ring-side fans in that neck of the woods eat dynamite, wear spats, and are sure rough on nice boys. That's the dope that comes home. "Well, it looks like poor Mace will have to pull off another fight, that's all, that's all.

FRANKLIN FIELD READY FOR TRACK EVENTS

By DAVIS J. WALSH (International News Service Sports Editor) PHILADELPHIA, April 28. Outside of the fact that the turf on Franklin field looks like the back of a mangy cur, everything Is in readiness for the- annual Pennsylvania relay carnival beginning here today. The track Is in grand condition and if there Is a record breaking performance concealed anions the hundreds of more or less prominent entries, the fact will be made known before nightfall tomorrow. Only the fact that the hurdles will be run off on that turfless turf precludes the possibility of a record being made in this event, as Earl Thomson of Dartmouth, the world's record holder, figures to get mor competition than a traveling salesman.
