14 GREYSTOCK FIVE TO PLAY INDEPENDENTS-LOCAL FAN MAY ATTEND MEETING LOCAL FAN MAY ATTEND MEETING Anxious to Tell International League Directors About Har risburg; Circuit Not Certain Harrisburg may be represented at the meeting of the International League on Monday. Frank Seiss, a ■well-known local enthusiast, who was a big factor in the sale of coupon books, will go to New York if ho can persuade three others to accompany him. While he is of the opinion that the chances for International League baseball in Harrisburg next season are not very good. Mr. Seiss would liko to have en opportunity to give the league directors some real facts about Har risbu rg. Whether there will be an Inter national League depends on the re ports from other cities on the circuit. Local supporters realize it will be rather costly to buy a franchise in the < league. Their on" big hope is that some major club might take over the i local club as a farming proposition and maintain the farm in Harrisburg. Thai this city will support an Inter national T.eagtie team is the general ! opinion. President Barrow is the only ! perron who does not have the same ■ opinion about Harrisburg. Indications are that the league will | go begging for towns. Hartford and , Springfield are spoken of as probabili ties. It is also the belief that Rich mond will return to Baltimore. Syra cuse Is spoken of as another city likely to be won over. Another report Is that league territories in the East will be changed and that the International j League may become the Eastern Asso ciation, and that Harrisburg will have ! a chance to enter a new organization j to succeed the New York State League, j There is a probability, according to reports from New York, that the In ternational magnates may transact only routine business and then adjourn to await the action of the major leagues. No one knows, it is said, what the Federals may do, and unUl the major organizations give out their plans minor organizations must play a waiting game. One team in the Inter national League will be back. A dis- | patch from Buffalo says: "Manager Pat Donovan, of the In- | tern&tional League baseball team, slipped unobtrusively into town yes- j terday. it being his first \lsit since he Slipped unobtrusively out of town after winning the 1915 International League penant. Pat is here primarily to at tend a meeting of the stockholders. | Pat and President Gerry Simon and j Secretary Tom Martin had a little con- ! fab. in the course of which Manager i Donovan said he would give Buffalo j every whit as good a team this season ' us he did last. "He has men in view to take the 1 places of Gilhooley, Janneson and ! Judge and had valuable big league' connections which will benefit tne Herd. He said: " 'I think Buffalo fans grew to ap preciate the excellence of our team as j the season progressed and we are go ing ahead this season regardless of all | opposition, and if playing good ball j brings the patronage, we will get it in j 191 RUXTON V C.

WELIYSMiOORNER What kind of a showing would the Harrisburg Independents make in the Eastern League? This question has been asked many times. Local bas ketball enthusiasts have been clamor ing for league basketball for several seasons. A good test will come Satur day when the local five meet the Grey stock champions. Other big teams come later. There is one good man the Inter national League is not likely to take from Harrtsburg permanently. His name is Frank Kelley, better known as "Cyclone," the trainer. He is here to stay as long as his services are in Uemand. He is training Tech athletes and has a number of youngsters on the outside to look after. Kelley is an authority on all sports. Donald A. Jlummert. one of the season's stars on the Lafayette team, not only won his "L," but received spe cial mention for liis good work from the Athletic Board. Mummert is a product of the Central High school, and is quite popular in his home town. Previous to awarding letters at La fayette yesterday Paul H. Taylor was elected captain for next year. He ts a Camden High school graduate. Pittsburgh is a name that was prominent in football this year. At Princeton yesterday Frank Trevor Hogg, a Pittsburgh scholastic pro duct was elected captain. He was a substitute guard last year, but had a regular berth this season and was a star. His playing in the games with Dartmouth, Harvard and Yale stood out over that of the other Tiger line men. Dickinson will not drop football ac cording to reports. Official announce ment to this effect has not been made, but is due next week according to re ports. Arguments for and against the game will be presented at a meeting to be held soon after the holiday sea son. There is good football materia! at Dickinson,- and it is understood a new coaching system will be adopted, and efforts made to develop a strong team. Three more horsemen have been ex pelled by the American Trotting As sociation. Officials want it under stood that when the public pays to see racing sport, it must be on the level. Illegal innings and false registrations are charged against those ousted. Reports from Pittsburgh favor "Red" Calhoun, a former Harrisburg Tri-State star, to manage the Pirates next season. If the selection of a manager was put to a vote in every city where Calhoun played, he would receive an overwhelming endorse ment. He has been a big success in the New York State League. Home Run Baker Out Is Harry Sinclair Dope Special to The Telegraph Chicago, 111., Dec. 9.—Harry Sin clair. oil magnate and Federal League backer, says Home Run Baker will not play ball next season, but that he will be in harness again in 1917. Sinclair is one of the many who have been negotiating for the services of Baker, as he figures the home-run king would be a great drawing card for his New York club. "Baker wants too much money right now and he is not going to get it." said Sinclair. "I handed hint a certi tied check for SIO,OOO recently to bind a bargain with him, but after holding the check for a while and considering my offer he returned it and said he would not sign. "His contract with Connie Mack runs out next year and then he will be a free agent." Regarding Hughey Jennings" denial that he had been asked to take the management of the New York Feds, Sinclair had little to say beyond mak ing the prediction that he would make Hughey change his mind by offering him so much money that he could not affo_rd to turn down the offer.

New Baseball League Will Work With Federals Special to The Telegraph Kansas City. Mo., Dec. it. That J plans for the organization of a new; ; baseball league and its possible af filiation with the Federal L«eague are well under way became known here to-day. Cities in Missouri. Kansas and Oklahoma, including Kansas City, Kan., said to be the largest city in America without a baseball club, are slated for franchises under the pro posed organization, which probably will be named the Continental League. D. M. Shively, who formerly was president of the Western Association , and now a resident of Kansas City. Kan,, said the proposition had been under consideration for some time and that an announcement would be made within ten days concerning the success or failure of the venture.

Okla.; Springfield Mo.; Joplin, Mo.; Sedalia, Mo.; Pittsburgh, Mo.; Parsons, Kan.; independence, Kan.; Coffeyvillc, Kan., and Barflesville, Okla. Hollenback Is Eligible; Penn Students Joyful Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 9.—Kobert E. Lamberton, secretary of the I Athletic Association of the University '| of Pennsylvania, declared there was absolutely no truth to the report that "Bill" Hollenback was ineligible to run for a position on the board of direc tors of the association. He said the committee had decided recently that the former star fullback was a mem ber in good standing and had joined the association long before the period , required The statement of Lamberton was hailed with Joy by students who are rallying to the support of Hollenback In the coming elections, believing that he •will be appointed to the position of head coach and will pull Penn out of the rut. President Geyelin, of the Athletic Association, also had good news for i the younger generation who hope to | get control of athletics at Penn. Geye- j lln announced that the protests regis-; ,tered against Meredith, Mathews and; i Nevins, undergraduate candidates, I I would not be investigated further. LINCOLN FIVK BIG WIXXKH On Tech lloor last night the Lincoln Grammar school easily defeated thej | Maclay five, wore 53 to 9. The Din- j jeoln Scrubs downed the Maclay sec onds, score 8 to 3. GREYSTOCK TEAM PLAYS SATURDAY ; Eastern League Leaders Meet Independents in First of Series of Games Manager Horace Geisel of the Har risburg Independents announces for his Saturday night basketball attrac tion the Greystock team, leaders of the Eastern League. The Greystock team at the present time is playing the best game of any team in the country. In the Eastern League race the Grevstocks are leading the field easily, having lost but one game this season. Lew Sugarman is captain. He has the reputation of being the fastest man In the game to-day in following the ball. Sugarman has guaranteed to bring his regular league llnc-up to Harrisburg. The locals are working hard for this game, for they realize that they will have to play their best game to put up a tight against the Greystock boys. Role, who has been handicapped by a Charley Horse, is again In good condi tion, and the rest of thj team are in the best of shape for a hard game.

Hard Fight For Baseball; College Boys Are Hopeful Special to The Telegraph Chicago, 111., Dec. 9.—Hope of ath letes that baseball will be retained as an intercollegiate sport in the Big Nine conference grew yesterday with the news that at four of the institutions there is strong sentiment against its abolition, as suggested by the faculty committee at its meeting last Satur day. The University of Illinois, with the formal actioTi by its senate, went on record as favoring the retention of the game. Sentiment at Chicago, Ohio State and Wisconsin, according to stories here, indicates that these three schools may refuse to follow the fac ulty committee's suggestion. Illinois' veto forces a reconsideration of the vote by the conference commit tee before the universities themselves vote finally on it. The Illinois, it was learned to-day, have been asked for a two-year foot ball contract with Dartmouth. Phillies Spitball Artist to Play With Pittsburgh Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia. Dec. 9. Pittsburgh has purchased Elmer Jacobs, the Phil lies' blond spitball pitcher, at the waiver price, $1,500. The deal was closed yesterday, when the manage ment of the Pirates refused to accede to the local .club's request 1o waive claim. The other six clubs all waived. Jacobs thereby automatically becomes the property of the Smoketown club. "Jake" is a right-hander and was dug up out of the Central Association by Scout Neal during the season of 1913. The Phils drafted him and he went south in the Spring of 1914 to the Phillies' camp at Wilmington, N. C. He pitched a few games that year and showed such promise that he was retained on the club roll over the winter. After returning from St. Pe tersburg last Spring ho was sent to Albany, In the New York State League.
