PRESIDENT €. H. 'A?TDRrS
Kead of Local Motive Power Athletic
Associaiton.
An enclosed baseball field in every
cfty including Harrisburg is planned;
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Motive
Power League for next season. It is j
also proposed to increase the circuit I
to 12 teams. The Pennsylvania Rail-1
road Company is back of this organi-!
ration, and it is said that not less than |
SIOO,OOO will be expended next year to
make this organization a big success.!
Harrisburg is one city picked for
an early start. The association back
of the local Motive Power team, of
which Master Mechanic C. H. Andrus
is president, is already seeking suit-j
able grounds. Players are being sign- j
ed and following the annual election i
in October, plans will be announced 1
for Spring" practice.
Manager Mike Friel is sure to be
re-elected. He is a veteran baseball
leader and has been looking over prom
ising material for next season. He
will have with him John Breckenridge
the former Trl-State pitcher, who has
been field captain of the local team
and played first base when not work
ing on th mound. Speaking about
next season's prospects yesterday
President Andrus said:
Need Local Field
"Our greatest need in Harrisburg is
a suitable field. As soon as a desir
able location is secured the money will
be forthcoming to put it in shape for
next season. What we want is a field i
large enough for general athletic pur
poses. Other sports will be followed
by the P. R. R. Y. M. C. A. Athletic
Association all over the system and
Harrisburg is ready to take up base
ball and other athletics on a larger
scale."
It is said that several locations on
Allison Hill have been suggested as a
good place for the new Athletic field.
These fields are now being looked over
and inquiries made as to how long!
a lease can be obtained. The local!
officials do not care to put a field in'
shape and be obliged to give up two or
three years later.

PAXTANG PARK
The fireworks display at Paxtang,

has had this summer. Arrangements
for several new stunts in the fireworks
line have been made by the park man
agement. while all the most striking
features of the previous displays will
be duplicated. Manager Davis is well
satisfied with the success of the previ
ous fireworks shows at the park, and
he will make every effort to have the
remaining displays of this season's
series better and somewhat different
from those already seen at Paxtang.
The bill at the park theater for this
week is one of the best comedy pro
frrams of the season. There is more to
augh at In this show than there is in
two average vaudeville performances.
Fennel and Tyson, who are the fea'ure
attractions, present what is probably

Believe Petrograd Is
Real German Objective
By Associated Press
Petrograd. Aug. 11, via London.!
| Aug. 12.—The Xovoe Vremya, dis-]
I cussing to-day the theory that Petro
j grad is the real objective of the Ger
| man offensive, says:
"There is an enormous difference be
tween the war of 1812 and the present
conflict. The Germans are. hurling
against Russia forces equivalent to
seven such invasions as that of Na
poleon and ■ supported by the latest
technical appliances, whereas in 1812 ]
the Russian army in the latter respect i
waf fully on a par with the French.
"The Germans are infinitely better!
posted as to the positions of Russia
than Napoleon and they are incapable
of regarding Moscow as the key to the
empire. They know that Petrograd is
the political center and it is only half
as far from Riga to Moscow. It is
