President Gaffney, of the Boston Braves, an nounced last night that he had signed Fred Snodgrass, the old Giant out fielder, and that he will report to the Boston Club and play In the game to day. Snodgrass has not been going well with New Tork this season, and last week was given his unconditional re lease. Two other National League clubs were trying to secure him, but he preferred to play with the Braves. He assured Mr. Gaffney that his slump with the Giants was only tem porary and that he would come around all right and do good work for the Braves. "I have not gone, by," Snodgrass said to-day. "The change to the Bos ton team wil do me good, and I am confident I will be in my old-time form for the rest of the season." George T. Stallings, manager of the Braves, who was responsible for the signing of Snodgrass, believes that he will come up to all his expectations. Snodgrass wil be used by the Braves In the outfield. PIC KS PHILLIES TO WIN New York, Aug. 23.—Miller J. Hug. gins, manager of the Cardinals, pre dicts that the Phillies and Brooklyn will fight it out for the .National Lea gue championship flag. "These teams are getting the best pitching and •pitching is everything in baseball," said the Cardinals' manager. "Bos ton and New York are weak in the box. McGraw has the best team he ever assembled, barring his batteries. Big James' collapse and Dick Ru dolph's failure to duplicate his 1914 record have crippled the Braves. Hit ting is Chicago's forte. Good twirl ing will stop the Cubs." INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE SCORES At Jersey City— R. H. E.

PRAISE "ZINIMY" FORHIS GOOEIWORK Harrisburg Has Game Bunch of Players, Says Providence Writer That International League baseball is a great asset to a city Is shown by the splendid complimentary to the club and to the city written by a Providence correspondent to a widely circulated sporting paper. It reads: "Speaking of Harrlsburg, I must take a minute to praise the gamenets of this bunch of athletes. They axe the wanderers of the league, having been transferred from Newark to the Pennsylvania Capitol, but a pluckier or a gainer team seldom is seen. They won two out of Ave games from tho champions and If their pitching staff had not been badly shot it's a question if the Indians would not have landed on the long end. "Manager Eddie Zimmerman sum med up the situation very aptly when he said: 'lt has been a tough year for our club, but the boys have learned this great lesson that ball pliers can make the game profitable or bad, according ta their own conduct. When we fellows knew Newark would not go throug-h and that we would have to shift, we all agreed that the only caper was not to lose our pen, but to stick up there flghtlng so hard that any town would be glad to have a club like ours settle down in its ball yard. I guess that Is why we have made good in Harrlsburg. You know I'm not boasting when I say that if It were not for injuries we would be up there with the best of them. I don't know how it works In some cases, but with us bad luck has served the pur pose of bringing the boys together for one common purpose—to play the very best ball we can and to play It all the time. And the perfectly splendid support we have received in Harris burg has made every man back of us feel that we have been well repaid." Barney Dreyfuss Makes Charge Against Feds Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 23.—Barney Dreyfuss, president of the Pittsburgh National League club, claims that he has knowledge of an effort made by the Federal League to take Ai Ma maux, the pitcher, away from the Pirates. Dreyfuss said that it was not for the purpose of having him play in any games this season, but the rebels have offered him a large salary if he will remain idle the remainder of the year and sign up with the Federals next year to play. Dreyfuss Baid: "Mamaux was spirited away from the West Penn Hospital last Tuesday at 1.45 o'clock and did not return until 9 o'clock that night. I have learned none or this from Mamaux himself, because I did not care to ap proach him on the matter at this time. I am willing to believe him loyal un til I have proof that he is not. "I also happen to know that Oakes was in Pittsburgh on Friday in con ference with a relative of the young Pirate twirler, and I have also been told that a certain man made the re mark that he could make a bunch of money if he could sign Mamaux to a rebel contract." MINOR GAMES' SCORES Minor league games were scarce articles Saturday. Only one contest I was played in the Central Pennsyl vania League. New Cumberland lost [to Lebanon, score 3 to 2. This vic- I tory gives Lebanon second place in | the race. No games were played in the upped end leagues. I In the Firemen's League Washing- I ton maintained the lead, by defeating Hope, score 11 to 5. The Bamford boys were In control, W. Bamford fanning 15 men. The Citizen Com pany team walked all over Allison, winning by a score of 16 to 4. 'ACGUST 23, 1915. * New Football Rules Show Minor Changes Football rule makers announce that changes In rules this year will be few. They will also be of minor importance. Slugging, and other rough house tac tics will be eliminated. Most of the team* will number the players. The forward pass when out of bounds will Include a penalty. The rules in which changes appear follow: A forward pass is caught simultane ously by a member of the pftsser's side and by aii opponent. Ruled: Posses sion of the ball belongs to side putting the ball into play. A member of side kicking ball Is touched by ball when offside. Ruled: The ball is not automatically dead; play may ensue and penalty may be declined. The ball is kicked off, goes less than ten yards and is then kicked again. Ruled: As kicking a loose ball. Rule 6. Section 18a, should be fol lowed strictly. That wherever the ball is advanced, too, at that point the whistle Bhould be blown, that being the point where the ball Is dead. Rule 16, Section s—Two men signal for a fair catch; one touches the ball and the other gets it still on the fly. No run allowed and ball is dead. I An offside play by opponents and an incompleted forward pass, pr hold ing in the line by opponents, and an Incompleted forward pass. The first offense takes precedence and the sec ond is disregarded. Rule 3, Section 2.—Penalty for Il legal return: Disqualify the player, give half toe distance to goal line and | notify Central Board. Rule 18, Section B.—Position of the feet determines, the same as always, either In the end zone or out of bounds. Pitcher Eddie Plank Has Narrow Escape The St. Louis Feds came nearly losing Eddie Plank yesterday. The former Mack twlrler had a narrow escape from being hurled to death by a Reading train. Plank was enroute to Harrlsburg in his automobile to catch a train west. Heavy rains flooded the subway near Rosegarden and Plank climbed the bank intend ing to cross the railroad tracks; The auto stalled on the tracks. A fast train was approaching but Plank stuck to his car, getting it moving in time to avoid an accident. He was only two feet from the tracks when the fast train passed. Plank had spent Sunday with his family on the farm near Gettysburg. The roads were in bad condition. Plank forded four streams from which bridges had been washed away and found his path blocked where the road passes under the tracks near Rosegarden, west of this city, and with his driver dug a zig-zag path way to the embankmept of the rail road, up which he drove his car. Plank reached Harrlsburg In time to catch the train for Chicago. LLiOYD GEORGE—THE MAN Being by profession a solicitor, it is scarcely surprising to learn that Mr. Lloyd George takes a keen interest in criminal cases. He will follow the evidence of a big murder trial very closely, and will afterwards describe to you, in course of conversation, what questions he would have put to the witnesses and what verdict he would have given if he had been in the jury. I once asked him, "Were you fond of the law?" "I was fond of advoca cy," he replied, "and. on the whole, the six years during which I practiced were very happy, although," he said, reflectively, "I do not know whether I should care to resume my profes sional labors. I had one serious draw back—l never sent in any bills of costs. The result was I never had any money. But when my brother joined me In practice things improved in that respect. I must confess, how ever, that I hated the office work." Some time ago a friend had been descanting to him upon the enormous quantity of margarine which is con sumed. A few weeks afterward the following conversation took place. Mr. Lloyd George: "I sent for some of your margarine the <fther day." The Friend: "How did you like it?" Mr. Lloyd George: "Well, It seem ed all right, but somehow I did not feel that I was doing the right thing." The Friend: "I suppose you thought you were robbing the poor cow of her living." Mr. Lloyd George: "Yes. Having been brought up in the. country I re gard the cow as a sacred animal." — From the Strand Magazine. PAINTING MACHINES WHITE TO AID IN LIGHTING "That good lighting in the work shop not only facilitates the work di rectly, but is of the greatest Indirect value because of the feeling of secur ity and cheerfulness given the work ers, Is a fact- that is becoming more generally recognized every day," says the August Popular Mechanics Maga zine, In an Illustrated article. "Indi rect artificial lighting has long been In use, and recently there has devel oped a movement for Increasing the effect of daylight by means of white enamel. For this purpose a white, oil proof enamel that will not turn yel low if kept clean, is used, both the celling of the shop and the machines material. It is reported that remark able results in the way of better light ing and the elimination of shadows are obtained In this way." Ten Times Out of Ten A Smoker Who Can't Enjoy King Oscar Sc Cigars ten times out of ten is due for a visit to the M. D. There is no exception to the rule where King Oscar quality is concerned. The smoker is off—not the smoke. . • Regularly Good For 24 Years BIG en WEEK FOR BASEBIEE FINS Four Double-Headers and One Sper rial Day It Program; No Game Thursday This in to be a great bargain week for Harrlsburg baseball fans.
