SAYS FEDS' LEADER
Big Meeting to Be Held in New
York City Tomorrow; Shake
ups Are Expected
Special to The Telegraph
Chicago, 111., Oct. 22.—Benching for
the time all talk of peace and the pos
sibilities of a hatchet planting reunion
at the annual Federal League meeting
scheduled for Friday and Saturday in
New York, President James A. Gil
more last night declared the session
■would be productive of several real
thrills. Among the moves planned Is
one dealing with the managers for
1915 and "Fighting Jim" announced
that one and possibly two pilots who
iwere In command during the past
campaign will be deposed before the
*iext pennant bell rings.
Mismanagement In one city on the
Federal circuit cost the league
SIOO,OOO, according to Gilmore, who
attributed the poor showing of the
team in question to the lax methods
used by the manager in running his
players. Another leader noted for his
ability as a disciplinarian will rule this
club next season.
President Gilmore gave vent to the
above statements after voicing vigor
ous denials of the report that the Fed
erals would meet with organized base
ball in Gotham and smoke the pipe of
peace. President Weeghman, of the
Chicago Federals, reiterated Gilmore's
assertions and both magnates declared
the confab had been called for the
purpose of dealing only with matters
pertaining to the Feds.

Last Spike Driven
For Army-Navy Game
Philadelphia, Oct. 22.—Representa
tives from West Point and Annapolis
met Dr. J. William White, represent
ing the Army and Navy game commit
tee of the University of Pennsylvania,
yesterday afternoon at the latter's
residence and signed a five-year agree
ment for alternating football games to
be played in this city and New York.
The first game will be played on
Franklin Field, Saturday, November 28.
The agreement provides that each
academy shall have 11,500 seats for
the game, the exact number offered
them for last year's game in New
York, and that each academy is at lib
erty to dispose of its seats as it sees fit,
provided that in case of the sale of
seats the net proceeds shall be divided
between the Army and Navy Relief
Societies.
Indians Without Rooters;
No Excursion on Saturday
Carlisle, Pa., Oct. 22.—For the first
time in years tfce Carlisle Indians will
meet the University of Pennsylvania
on the gridiron on Saturday unsup
ported by a contingent of their school
mates. The annual excursion, which
has taken some 500 boys and girls of
the school, in addition to the band and
nesidents of Carlisle, to Philadelphia,
has been abandoned under the order
of the school authorities.
The annual trip to the game is an
incentive to extravagance on the part
of the pupils, it was stated to-day by
Supervisor Lipps, who further said
that there have been many complaints
from parents because of requests for
money for the trip, and in order that
trouble may be avoided the excursion
has been forbidden.
This action is the means of depriv
ing the annual contest of one of its
most picturesque features, as the lines
of blue-uniformed cadets and dark
eyed maidens flanking the scarlet
uniformed bandmen was a sight that,
next to the panoply and display of the
Army-Navy contest, was the most
marked of the season.
SMiITH SHOP TEAM CELEBRATES
Members of the Smith Shop base
ball team, champions of the Lucknow
Shop League, celebrated last night. A
banquet was held at Fort Hunter Inn.
Addresses were made by Roy Leslie,
president of the league, and J. Brown,
president of the club.

Western eleven, which is scheduled to line up against Harvard in the Cam

that Splawn is as good a booter as the great Charley Brickiey and express
regret that Harvard's captain will be unable to get in the game a week from
Saturday and engage the Michigan kicker in a duel.
CENTRAL HIGH GAME
OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Teck Meets Heavy Crew; Small
College Squads
Hard at It
In the battles on Saturday some
changes in the work of the scholastic
and college teams ts looked for. The
forward pass is still popular. On the
schedule this week are a number of
games that promise special Interest.
Central. —With favorable weather
conditions the largest crowd of the
season is expected at Island Park on
Saturday to see the Central-Steelton
game. Doping out future results on
scores past has not been a Wg success
this season. Teams have been spring
ig surprises every week. Steeiton lost
to High, but this, in the opin
ion of football enthusiasts, cannot lie
taken as an indication of the result
Saturday. Central, of course, is going
into the game to win with a big score.
Coach Smith will spring a number of
new things and the Steeltonitcs will
have to go some to get across Central's
goal line.
Steeiton. —Coach E. C. Taggert with
his Steeiton squad worked until dark
last night In preparation for the game
with Central High at Island Park Sat
urday. This afternoon and to-morrow
afternoon orders are to keep every
body but the players and coaches out
of the field. The slogan is to get at
least one game from a Harrisburg
team. Steeiton rooters will come to
Harrisburg in special cars.
Tech.—When Tech High lines up
against the Greensburg High School
eleven at Greensburg Saturday after
noon, the Alaroon and Gray will face
a heavy team. This season Greens
burg is putting forth special efforts
to >h.nd the high school championship
of Western Pennsylvania. To win
from Tech, in the opinion of Greens
burg sporting writers, will likely mean
Central Pennsylvania honors .as well.
Tech will go into the game in good
shape. The local eleven and ollicials
will leave for the enemy's camp to
morrow night.
' In the Colleges
Dickinson. Coach Herrington Is
making effective progress in bringing
the light Dickinson squad to efficiency.
Yesterday's drill waa a solid period's
work, concentrated on such funda
mentals as kicking, catching and run
ning down under punts, drop and
placement kicking, tackling, blocking
and falling on the ball. Signals were
emphasized in order to get the for
mations prepared for the Franklin
and Marshall game in good order.
Indians. —The keynote to the Car
lisle Indians' football practice yester
day was hard work on the school's
half-holiday. Beginning at 3 o'clock
»nd ending with a drawn out and
strenuous scrimmage against the Dick
inson eleven, which arrived late in
the evening on Indian Field. Th«
rekskins were run through all of their
customary fundamentals, and Warner
and his three assistants saw that every
aborigine had individual instructions
of some kind in all fundamentals.
liclianon Valley. Coach Guyer
gave his charges the longest and most
gruelling scrimmage of the year yes
terday on Annville Field. Fumbling
was again in evidence, and strenuous
efforts are being made by the coach
to correct this fault, in the game
with Franklin anil Marshall two weeks
ago Lebanon Valley fumbled thirteen
timet, and in the game with Western
Maryland on Saturday eight costly
fumbles were tallied against Guyer's
eleven. Wheelock was in play and
made the only touchdown of the after
noon.

"A GIRL OF THE MOUNTAIN'S"
"A Girl of the Mountains" which is
a melodrama, to be presented at the
Majestic this afternoon and evening—
is said to be clever and forcible. It is
a story of a girl who knew only the life
of the wilderness and the mining
camp, her trials and struggles, and
her final triumphs in the great city,
with the love of a true man to shield
her future. Louise Price in the lead
ing role is said to give a striking per
formance of the girl. She possesses a
sweet and well trained voice and her
rendering of the emotional parts is
very good. She will be supported by
a capable company.—Advertisement.
JOHN \V. VOGEI/S BIG CITY MIN
STRELS
Minstrelsy has been, andt promises
to continue to be, the favorite form
of amusement for four-fifths of the
theater-going public and well it
should be—for no manner of a per
formance can include such a variety
of material necessary for the edifica
tion of the multitudes; besides it is
the cleanest and best of all amuse
ments. Then, there are no waits.
Promptly at the appointed hour, the
curtain rises, and from that moment
until the final you have fun without
a blush. Songs of sentiment by the
world's greatest vocalists, comic dit
ties by the best comedians on earth,
who also furnish humor without a
taint. The songs have been sung,
jokes have been told, the Adonis-llke
person in the middle has his friendly
repartee with the various comedians
with the bones and "Tambos." Per
sonal grace has been shown and beauty
added because of the handsome para
phernalia used in the first part sett
ings. This organization will appear at
the Majestic Saturday, matinee and
night.—Advertisement.
COLONIAL
Another big vaudeville bill bursts
on our vision at the Colonial to-day.
Four quite well known Keith acts of
variety and merit are slated to appear,
headed off by the Three Musical Elli
sons presenting a picturesque musical
novelty that has won favor in many
of the more important theaters. Also
James Kennedy and Company, who
appeared at the Orpheuni two seasons
ago, are booked to offer their new
comedy sketch called "Jack Swift."
Mahoney and Tremont.will present a
song and patter skit called "At the
Department Store" and the Aerial Har
bers, In sensational aerial gymnastics,
will provide the thrills of the offer
ing. To-day's program in moving
pictures looks to be well worth while
also. —Advertisement.
ORPHEU.U
Those who are about town to hear
the topics of the day are acquainted
with the fact that Johnny Dooley and
Yvctte Rugel are at the Orpheuin. One
of them is as funny as the other, is
good to look upon and when we see
them on the stage together we gasp
to ourselves, my what a combination,
or better still, what a comparison!
But Dooley makes us laugh in spite
of ourselves, not because he is hand
some, oh, no, but because he is redicu
lously funny. And pretty Yvette is
petite and dainty, and has the voice
of a prima donna many times her
size. Dooley's assets as a comedian
are chiefly those of looseness and
homeliness and to express it politely,
slimness. He sings and dances, most
ly gestures, and while he capers about,
his foot lands on the other side of the
footlights, sometimes under the cur
tain, and everybody wonders if we will
fly next. Then he asks Miss Rugel to
ask him a few questions and he prom
ises to tell a joke. And he tells sotno
good ones. As a pleasing combination
Dooley and Rugel are bard to beat.
They are certainly favorites i.t the Or
pheum this week. Those who have
seen' them once are going back to
see them again and that's pretty good
proof of their merits. Dooley and
Rugel offer one of the sterling hits
grouped with Lew Dockstader, also
with Lucy Gillette, the most enter
taining juggler ever seen at the Or
pheum, and a wealth of other good
Keith hits.—Advertisement.
"MAN OF THE HOUR"
At The Palace
William A. Brady presents Robert
Warwick in George ltroadhurst's
great success, "The Man of the Hour."
A shrewd financier tries to put a bill
the New York city council,
which would give a traction company
a group of perpetual franchises. Elec
tion is at hand, and in looking
about for a suttable candidate, who
could "be handled," young Garrison,
who has earned for himself a large
fortune, is selected as the most likely
man. The young man is in love with
the niece of the financier. He accepts
the nomination, and after a strong
fight is elected. The franchise bill
passes the council and comes to the
mayor for hi» signature. But Garri
son, realizing that it is a steal, refuses
to sign. All sorts of pressure is
brought to bear, and for a time •it
would appear that his course would
cost him not only his sweetheart, her
entire fortune, but take her from him.
In the end strict honesty proves to be
the best policy, and despite obstacles,
which seem almost insurmountable,
Garrison wins his sweetheart.—Adver
tisement.
