ol ley’s SPORT omment'It'a four mouths and more before tho opening of the Blue Ridge league season but right now it’s a ten to one shot that Mickey Kelliher, who has just signed up to pilot the Chambersburg Maroons for another year, will be the only manager that handled a team in the Jamison circuit last year. Hagerstown is at present without a pilot and it is certain that Tommy Thomas and A1 Kreuz will not be back at the head. Hen Sherry at Frederick is on the fence and from all indications he will not be back even as a player. Mar-tineburg has already announced that Frank Burke would manage there in 1928. Waynesboro has no managerJ although like Hagerstown last year they had several, while Hanover is seeking u pilot, Mike Konnick having signed to manage the Wilkes-Barre club of the New York-Penn circuit.• * *The signing of Kelliher came as noj big surprise as the writer in conversation with the Maroon pilot in i Washington was informed that rather than take a club in the Eastern Shore League he would return to Chambersburg. Kelliher did have an j application in for the job at York,] but Winn Clark beat him to the job. i Rather than joiu the ranks of the players again, a job having been offered Mickey playing first for York, the Washington boy chose to be his I own boes and return to tho Blue; Ridge.* * *Tonight court fans of the C. V. A. L. will have an opportunity of seeing bow good Waynesboro is on their own floor, the Pennsylvanians meeting the Martinsburg High live in. league competition. Having walloped the Hagerstown team 43 to 29 in the’opening game and Martinsburg! having trounced the Frederick quint, a real battle will be on tonight with first place in the standing ofthe league at stake.* * *Jack Sharkey and Tom Heeney I are down to trade punches tonight in a 12 round battle before the fistic fans who can scrape enough of the family funds together to get in Madison Square Garden. The winner, according to dope coming out of Tex Rickard's ofllces, is to be matched w ith Gene Tunney, heavyweight champion of the world, or else the winner Will get a shot at Jack Dempsey. if Jack is serious in coming back for a third trial at Tunney. If this lad Sharkey, who has closed up like a clam, is right ho should do as much damage to Heeney as a sword fieh turned loose in Noah’s Ark.• • *In this month’s issue of the Baseball Magazine is an article concerning a former Blue Ridger that was farmed out to the major leagues. King Larkins, of Martinsburg, has written a very clever article about Ike Powers, Hancock youth, who is a member of the Philadelphia Athletics. Powers came to the Blue Sox a raw rookie and when about to be i turned loose, the management of the Martinsburg team sent him to Connie Muck. Powers has been with the A’s ever since.
