Giving publicity to the Tri-State
schedule to-day. President George M.
Graham requests that every owner and
manager put forth special efforts to
make this season a big success.
The schedule calls for 110 games
The season opens May t! and, accord
ing to the schedule, Harrisburg will

switch in the original arrangement.

Thursday, May 7. There are fifty-four
games scheduled at home and fifty-six
abroad.
Harrisburg will play the game at
home with York on the morning ol
Decoration Day and at York in the
afternoon. On July 4 Harrisburg goes
to York in the morning and will be
at home In the afternoon. Both of
these holidays fall on Saturday this
year. Instead of closing the season
at' home on Monday, September 7,
Da}', Harrisburg will play two
games at Heading. Harrisburg has
nine games at home on Saturdays, in
cluding the morning game of May 30
and afternoon of July 4, and nine
abroad.
It is understood that when exhibi
tion games are scheduled with major
leagua teams arrangements will be
made to have a double-header on the
day previous with the Tri-State team
scheduled. It is announced that no
postponed games will be played prior
to June 1, unless the weather during
the early part of the season proves
unfavorable and postponed games
multiply rapidly. President Graham
in this case will fix the time for the
games to be played off.

BOOZE LOSING GAME,
SIS BILLY SUNDAY
Bases Theme on "Rube" Wad- I
dell's Recent Death; Was
on Wrong Road
i
Special to The Tetegral'li
j Scranton, Pa., April fi.—Sighs and'
! aniens for "Rube" Waddell and
I cheers _ for Christy Mathewson were'
in order at the Tabernacle last night'
when the Rev. Billy Sunday, towards
the close of his sermon on "Your Sins|
Will Find You Out," drew a graphic
I parallel between the careers of Wad-i
dell and "Bugs" Raymond, both'dead,
and Christy Mathewson and Eddie
Plank, four great figures In baseball
: in the past decade.
Billy's reference to "Rube" was'
I particularly effective. Me said:
I "1 was reading the papers the other
Jay of the passing of 'Rube' Waddell,
whose life was snuffed out. Think of
it. only 37 and gone. I tell you, you
. cannot beat the booze game. You have
to pay the freight. The old 'Rube' i
was one of the brightest and brainiest j
men in baseball, but he is gone, struck
: out at 37, a man who was In his day j
possibly the greatest pitcher. I tell ■
! you, you can't beat that game.
I "The 'Rube,' Matty, Plank and!
j'Bugs' Raymond started in baseball at
, the same time. All were pitchers.
| Two started on the wrong road'and
two on the right road. Two are dead,
j 'Bugs' and 'Rube.' Matty is as good
! as ever, the king in his line, and when
he gets so he can't put anything on
the ball, he'll go to work training
vcung pitchers and will get a salary
that will dazr.le you. Plank, grand old
man, steady and earnest, Is getting
along, but he can pitch a great game.
, Yes, he sure can. and Plank and
! Matty are honored by the men on tho I
field and by men in every walk of life.;
They followed the right path. 'Rube'j
and 'Bugs' are (lead. Does it pay?
Your sins will find you out."

FLCQD WARNING
TO BE EXTENDED
Success in Recent High Water Will
Enable State to Enlarge Its
New Service
Experience gained in observations
of the recent high water in the Sus
-1 quehanna river watershed and in the
i valleys will be of much advantage to
; officials of the State Water Supply
I Commission in extension of the State
Hood warning service, according to
| statements made at the office of that
! body to-day. The flood warning serv
ice was organized last Fall under
i authority conferred by the Ulman act,
which carried an appropriation of
SIO,OOO and arranged for a bulletin
service to be given by observers at
\arlous points jilong streams and their
| tributaries. Tho Susquehanna Valley
' was selected for the first operations
I and the service was tested in the
| Mai ch high water.
I Preliminary warnings of depth of
snow and what coi Id tie expected were
issued two weeks before the real high
water occurred and on March 27
warnings were issued that high water
was expected and that it might get to
damaging heights at points along the
| North branch and the main valley.
. On March 28 the commission made
I estimates for many points along the
: Susquehanna and its main tributaries
j and wired them to cities and towns
! involved.
j A statement issued by the commis
| sion says "this Hood has given the
, commission just the data needed to
1 enable it to predict accurately in the
future and it is now believed that the
commission is equipped to send ouv
early and accurate warnings of future
floods in the Susquehanna Valley.
Plans are being made to extend the
flood warning service to the Schuyl
kill, Lehigh and De.aware rivers."
The predicted stages and the maxi
; mum stages which actually occurred
