HOME WEEK BILL
EOS BULL EIS
||Red Cross Day Will Wind Up a
Busy Time at Island
Park
By "UMP"
Home Week at Island Park started
this afternoon. •'Pop" Foster and
his Royal Bengal Tigers were the
opening attraction. They will give a
second performance to-morrow. Big
things are also due during the balance
of the week.
On Wednesday, Reading will again
try to put another crimp in Harris
burg's winning stride. This will he
Booster Day. It will be the beginning
of a series of special days on which
the local fans will have an opportun
ity to help in a number of good
projects.
For Wednesday arrangements have
been made to award prizes to players
for special work. There will be two
suits of clothes given away. Mer
chants have contributed other valu
able prizes and both Harrisburg and
Reading players will have a chance to
win. Home runs, hits, sacrificing and
valuable work will be worth some
thing in this game.
Reading will be the attraction
again on Thursday. This will be
Lolly Pop Day. Every boy and girl
under 14 years of age will be admitted
free to the grounds and grandstand
and each youngster will be presented
with a lolly pop. Women will also
be admitted free to the game and
grandstand on this day. It is prob
able there will be some tin horns, a
few cowbells and other things on hand
to help along the rooting and boost
ing.
Friday will be Red Cross Day. This
day promises to be of unusual in
terest. There will be field events for
which prizes will be awarded, and in
addition prizes will again he given to
players for special work. A large per
centage of the gate and grandstand
receipts for this day will he turned
over to George W. Reily, local repre
sentative of the Red Cross Society in
Harrisburg. Arrangements will be
made to have tickets on sale at many
stores. It will be a half-holiday for
the local business places and a record
crowd is looked for. On Saturday
Wilmington will say farewell to Har
risburg for the season—and probably
for all time to come.

There is not a doubt in the minds

to Maurice E. McLoughlin, the peer
kss California Comet, being in physi
cal condition to win championship
honors for the third consecutive year.
The cleanly cut victories victories of

Sunday Baseball
For Atlajntic City
Special to The Telegraph
Atlantic City, N. J., Aug.24.—The
success of the Sunday baseball game
In Atlantic City yesterday between
Reading, of the Trl-State League, and
the Beach Combers in which the for
mer won 3-2, probably means that the
seashore will again be represented in
the circuit next season. The pretzels
have been running bad financially at
home and the record-breaking crowd
was a revelation.
Atlantic City did noorly here In Tri-
State last year, but when It considered
that the Boardwalk buds fell so far in
the rear that after the first six weeks
it never got out of the cellar birth,
better could hardly be expected.
When the old-time "Red Roses"
moved here from Lancaster the sum
mer before last, much better results
were obtained and Atlantic City looked
like a good town for the league.
Many contend that fandom here stand !
ready to support good ball and this
feems readily substantiated by the
crowds that attended the star attrac
tions. Reading looks to be the likely
change.
Sunday contests determine the fu
ture in this city. Approximately two
thousand were in the stand to-day and
this shows the public sentiment in re
lation to Sabbath baseball. Atlantic
City has taken a liberal turn for
amusements, and this led the pro
moters of the home club to chance to
day's exhibition. No action was taken,
and, in consequence, Sunday attrac
tions will be staged throughout the
year. The World's Champion Athle
tics play in Atlantic City next Sunday.
It is more than likely that crowds
will be turned waay at this coming
game.
lOOTBALL OFFICIALS MAY
UNDERGO EXAMINATION
There was so much dissatisfaction
with officials on the football field alst
year that the intercollegiate rules com
mittee is considering means by which
officials may be trained. Every year
the list of men who wish to officiate is
swelled by the names of college gradu
ates, many of whom were good play
ers themselves but who have never
shown tho slightest capacity as offi
cials. The fact that a man was a good
player Is no assurance that he will be
a success as an official.
The suggestion has been made,
therefore, that the committee on offi
cials have some method of examining
candidates for positions and then fol
low this up by watching their work in
important games. Some of the leading
officials think that there should be a
method of preventing the blacklisting
of competent officials by the big uni
versities because some of their deci
sions at critical moments may have
been distasteful.
READING CRIPPLED
Reading, Pa., Aug. 24.—The local
Trl-State team will finish with a deficit
aggregating $2,000 according to a
statement made by Business Manager
Weitzel to-day. Since the beginning
of the season the patronage has been
exceeding discouraging, and even
when the team was in first place and
fighting for- the pennant the crowds
were very small. Allentown's four de
feats of the local club practically dis
pelled whatever chance the Hoffman
ites had to climb further up in the
race, and the fans will be satisfied if
they succeed in retaining their hold on
third place.

IN THE LAST
GENERAL WAR
What Happened to Finance and Trade
Is Interesting History
Almost a century has passed since
Europe was confronted with such
scenes as have been brought about
since the first of August. The war
between France and England, which
began in 1803, lasted something like
twelve years and almost every govern
ment of Europe eventually took part
In it.
Compared with now, those were
days of small things, but at that time
losses in trade and commerce in these
war States aggregated billions of dol
lars.
The Telegraph is distributing a com
plete map of the present war coun
tries which consists of a wealth of in
formation relating thereto. This map
is being passed out to our readers at
the mere expense of promotion, as
explained in the war map coupon
printed elsewhere in these columns.
Clip the coupon to-day and present it
as early as possible, as the supply is
