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

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.

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

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 |

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

team at the present time is playing
the best game of any team in the
country.

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.
OZAR AKUIVKS TO-NIGHT
Jack Ozar, the middleweight wrest
ler, who meets Mort Henderson, at the
Orpheum theater to-morrow night,
will come to Harrisburg to-night. Ozar
is a student at Lebanon Valley College.
He has never been thrown. He is
meeting a man much heavier, but has
a handicap, in that his opponent must
throw him three times within an hour.
GREYS TAKE TWO AND LOSE
The Greys took two games in the
P. R. R. Y. M. C. A. league last night,
but lost the match to the Colonials,

Pennsylvania Crews Will
Be in Poughkeepsie Races
By Associated l J ress
Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 9. R. How
ard Elsenbre'y, chairman of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania Rowing Com
mittee, said that the University of
Pennsylvania crews will positively bo
|l "' t^regnlla at Poughkeepsie
next year, despite all rumors to the
contrary.
The University of Pennsylvania will
have three crews at Poughkeepsie
next season, Mr. Ktsenbrey said. The
only reason that (ho date or the
Poughkeepsie reKatla was not. ratified
nlong with the rest of the rowing
schedule at the board of directors'
meeting last night is because no date
has yet been set by the Poughkeepsie
rowing officials.
