P. 0. S. OF A. QUOIT LEAGUE HAS CLOSE RACE-HOPE FOR YALE PLAYERS FOUR YALE MEN MAY BE FORGIVEN Prof. R. N. Corvvin, Athletic Chairman, Hands Out Some Encouragement Special to The Telegraph New Haven. Conn., Dec. 7.—There is some? hope for the reinstatement of l.egore. Reports following the re turn of Prof. R. N. Corwin after the conference in New York indicate favorable action soon. With regard to the possible rein statement of Harry Legore, Spencer Pumpelly. William Easton. Robert Rliett and Arthur Milbum, Prof. Corwin indicated that one ruling will lie adopted covering their case. Ac cording to the general impression on the Yale campus prospects for the re instatement of the men are bright. I'rof. Corwin said regarding their case: "In connection with the revision of the rules and discussion concerning the attitude to be taken by universities with regard to summer baseball, the case of the five Yale players who withdrew from participa tion in intercollegiate athletics this Fall upon discovering that they had violated the Yale rule covering this matter, was considered informally. his subject fell outside the purpose of the meeting and the committee did i not, ot course, fee\ competent to pass on the case. There was, however a V ?. rj L i 1 disc " s sion of the matter in all its bearings. It is expected that following further discussion of the new regulations as provisionally ac cepted for the university a duplicate i tiling will be made with regard to the athletic status of the Ave Yale men."

McCall, of New York, a former Justice of the Supreme Court, and once a can didate for Mayor of New York City, was last night removed from office as chair man of the Downstate Public Service Commission by Governor Whitman, who sustained in part the charge pre ferred against the Commissioner by the Thompson investigating commission of the Legislature. The Governor's decision was that Mc- Call. in violation of the Public Service Commission law, owned stock in a cor poration under the supervision of his commission. The Governor said that to-dav he would designate Commissioner William Hay ward, of New York, as temporary chairman, and that he probably would appoint a commissioner to fill the va cancy caused by McCall's removal. Mc- Call had two more years to serve. BRYAN SUMMONED TO TELL OF SHIP SAI.ES TO GREECE New York, Dec. 7.

Mr. Bryan is to be asked whether any secrets of lire control, aiming or other control of the gtins of the war vessels sold were confided to the Greek Govern ment. The order was secured in connection with a libel suit brought by Petros P. Tatania, a Greek resident of this city, against a Greek newspaper and Solon J. Vlasto and Demetrious J. Vlasto. RUNNING CLOSE IN QUOIT LEAGUE Three Games on This Week's Schedule; Local Tossers Near Leaders Only three games will be played this week in the P. O. S. of A. Quoit League, Knhaut's lead was cut down last week. Teams down in the list are showing improved form in every con test. and it looks like a close finish. Camp No. 8 of Harrisburg is a close second and must win Ave more games, and Knhaut lose the same number, to tie up the lead. For third honors, Steelton, High spire and Camp No. 716 for Harris burg are running close. The games which start to-night include Camp No. 477 of Penbrook, at Camp No. 639 Harrisburg; Camp No. 505 Highspire, iit Penbrook: and Camp No. 639 of Harrisburg at Enhaut.

"That contest was played at New Haven on Saturday. November 13, 1875, on a field measuring 400 by 200 feet and was witnessed by about 1,500 spectators, which included several hundred women. The number of players on a team was optional with the captain, the rules simply specify ing that from 11 to 15 might be play ed. The game was divided into three 30-minute periods and the only scor ing permitted was a goal following touchdown, kicked over the goal bar suspended 10 feet above the ground from two uprights 20 feet apart. Harvard won by four goals to noth ing, the Crimson scoring two in the first half hour and one each in the re maining periods. The ball could be kicked or carried: caught on the bound or fly and the runner could be tackled and thrown as at present. Harvard's cheering contingent con sisted of 150 students, who made the trip from Cambridge to witness the play. "No admission was charged and the size of the crowd and absence of gate receipts contrasts sharply with the fact that very close to 120,000 per sons, paid $240,000 to see the Harvard- Yale games of 1914 and 1915." MOTOR CLUB MEETING The Board of Governors 'of the Motor Club of Harrisburg will meet to-night. Business of importance is on the calendar for transaction.

The Boston speed monarch led all the hurlers of his league with an average of 1.49 runs per nine-inning game. In com paring Wood's record with Walter Johnson's, who ranks second, it must be remembered that the Washington man worked in 4 7 games, including: 3362-3 innings, while the leader labored in but 2 contests and only 157 1-3 innings. The table of records shows distinctly how poor a grade of pitching Connie Mack got last season. The leading Athletic pitcher is Knowlson, ranking No. 42, with an average of 3.49 runs per game. Shore, Foster and Leonard, world's series stars of the Red Sox, are found among the leaders, but their averages for the season in the regular pennant race do not compare with the eitect- Iveness they showed when pitted' against the Phillies in the blue ribbon J event of baseball.

WELLYSMGORNER ' Between now and April 1 many thousand dollars will be paid out by fight fans in the United States, to see] contenders for various titles in cham pionship battles. Few knockouts are anticipated. As long as the public Is willing to pay, fighters will continue! to dance around the ring, tap each other occasionally, and let the public do the talking as to restilts. What is needed in every State Is a boxing com mission that will make fighters fight. According to the International aver ages, players on the Harrisburg list are worth something. Even, if none of the major league managers picked them out in draft season, there will now be a lively chase for several local stars, since it is known they can play ball. At the lowest possible estimate the Harrisburg players are worth be tween SIO,OOO and $15,000. If every player was sold, local creditors would be sure of getting their cash. Much interest is manifested in the meeting of the International League scheduled for Monday.

DIXON Same Remarks by the Commis sioner of Health on the Sub ject of Overeating Don't overeat at Christmastime just because it is the holiday season is the warning given by Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, the State Commissioner of Health, in his ninety-seventh cau tionary article to the peotile of Penn sylvania. Dr. Dixon calls attention to the fact that the strain of getting ready for Christinas is very hard on people and that often when people are tired and worn out they go to the table and give rein to appetites. The com missioner says it is better to see a doctor before the Christmas dinner than afterward. Dr. Dixon says: "The holiday season is a busy time for the doctors. Many things con tribute to make it so. The nervous strain of holiday shopping and living In overcrowded cars and shops gets the people pretty well fagged out and then while in this condition the digest ive system is often loaded to the break ing point. "That's the program for a very large percentage of our population about this time of the year and even a lay man when he reads it over hasn't very much difficulty in discerning that in all probability it would result in a call for the doctor. "Those who can afford to do so seem to regard the overloading of the digestive tract as an essential part of the holiday festivities. As a matter of actual practice, there is a great deal more enjoyment to be derived from conservative indulgences in tempting ork, and it is understood, has asket a conference with the directors, prior to the regular meeting.

Grantland Rice, who pounds out some clever stuff for sporting pages of various newspapers, jumps in to the class of star-eleven pickers by choos ing an all-Michigan team to line-up against an all-Yule bunch of old-tim ers. He figures that the game can be played in Madison Square Garden and the proceeds be given for Andrew Car negie, who is down to his last $20,000,- 000. One of the features of this imagin ary game, created and played in "G. R.'s" fertile brain, Is an attempt by Philbin of the Yale all-stars to slip outside of tackle, but Curtis, of Michi gan, lifts him up and tries to pick his teeth with the Yale player when the officials interfere and penalize Michi gan for unnecessary impoliteness.
