TECH READY FOR SCHOLASTIC SERIES-FAVOR PEACE PLAN FOR BASEBALL LEAGUE CONTEST SATURDAY NIGHT York Five to Make First Ap pearance in Harrisburg; Honors at Stake The Harrisburg independents will play their second home game in the Eastern Pennsylvania Basketbaill League Saturday night with York as the opposing team. This will be York's first appearance in Harris burg for over a year. York is out to win the first cham pionship in the new league, and will try especially hard to put the locals out of the way. York and Harrisburg have always been rivals in all sports, and because of the new league, the rivalry in basketball is more intense than ever. Should York win Saturday night's game, the locals would be practically eliminated from the race, and that Is what York is trying to do. luteals Work Hard The Independents will try their hardest to land the game from York, and in their practices are working J to overcome the lack of team work | which has been evident in their play- ( Ing in most of the games this sea son. The screen back board is now in ! place, and proved its worth Satur- 1 lay night, and enabled those sitting i on the balcony to see the game at all ; times. The Independents, however, j shot poorly at this goal, for they had j no opportunity to become familiar ' with the new board. With a week's practice, however, the locals will be able to shoot with more accuracy. DUDLEY inches NORMAN 2yi inches AR-R.OW COLLARS !

No oflicial announcement was made as regards the salary Moran would receive, but the $25,000 for three seasons was considered a conservative estimate. President William P. Baker, of the Phillies, who had been awaiting the arrival of Moran for more than twenty-four hours, the manager being de layed by the snowstorm, in announcing that Pat had affixed his signature to the three-year contract, said: "A very handsome increase in salary was given Moran." Moran would have it understood that he never was a holdout. He averred that the contract was handed to him immediately upon his arrival for the annual meeting of the National League, he read it and then signed. He admitted there was a substantial increase in salary and stated that he was well pleased with the terms. Immediately after signing the contract Moran said he was after three Federal League stars, Benny Kauff, Brooklyn outfielder; Lee Magee, second baseman of the same team, and Davenport, a pitcher on the St. Louis Feds.

The Telegraph Art &Engravhig Departments J 216 Locust Street HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH BASEBALL PEACE IS NOW IN SIGHT American League Agrees to Terms; Final Conference Tomorrow Peace Plan Program Told in Short Form The peace terms, as given out by members of both the National and Federal Leagues, include:. Purchase of a large interest in one of the New York clubs by Harry Sinclair. Purchase of the Chicago Na tionals by Charles Weeghnian and his associates. Sale of the Browns or Cardinals at St. Louis to Phil Ball and Otto Steifel. v Amalgamation of the Brooklyn Nationals and Federals. Partnership by Gwinner in Pittsburgh Nationals or control of Cleveland Americans if he desires to continue in baseball. Chicago, Dec. 16.—The end of the basebal!»war came in sight last night, when American League magnates at their annual session here agreed to the peace terms arranged at New York between the Federal and Na tional Leaguers. Within a few days, according to President Johnson, the details of agreement which does away with the Federals as an independent League will be arranged, the American League has consented to appoint a committee to meet envoys from tho others. The announcement of the agreement came after a session which took up most of the afternoon, and at which nothing was discussed except the peace proposals of the Federals. These, agreed to at New York by the National League, were related to the American League meeting by Bar ney Dreyfuss, president of the Pitts burgh Nationals, who came from the East as a messenger of peace. For an hour Mr. Dreyfuss addressed the American League club owners, ex plaining in detail the agreement. Its terms were not made public, both Mr. Dreyfuss and the magnates agreeing to keep silent on these, but it is gen erally understood that the consolida tion of the National and Federal is the basis. President Johnson declared that there would be only two leagues, the American and National. To a later session probably in New York to-morrow, was left the appoint ment of a committee to meet the com mittee to meet the committee of the other leagues. The joint peace session will proba bly take place within a week, accord ing to Mr. Johnson, at New York or Chicago. Many details remain to be arranged. These involve the ball players who jumped from one league to another, and may result in many of the clubs getting back thos who left in the war crisis. Many Warriors Battle For Gridiron Honors Philadelphia, Dec. 16. Parke Davis, Princeton's member of the foot ball rules committee and considered as the game's greatest historian and statistician, whose one hobby in life is the delving into the records of the game, was a guest at the Racquet Club recently, and while talking to some of the old Princeton football men who are members of that organi zation told some things about the growth of this sport that amazed his listeners. According to Davis, during the 1915 season 3 2,000 football games were played by the various schools and col leges of the country, not taking note of the thousands of club and independent games. In these games the remark able ligure of 160,000 players com peted, and the attendance at the games was, in round figures, 6 500,000 persons. Such a tremendous ligure took the clubmen by surprise. Davis went back to the origin of the game to draw a good comparison. He said that thirty-nine years ago, when football first began its real college ca reer, there were but six teams and 120 players and 1,000 spectators. York Tossers Win in Game With Independents York Ave last night played all around the Harrisburg Independents, winning by a score of 21 to 16. It was a fast contest and played at York.

Eddie Hooper Signs Up With Chambersburg Team 1 Eddie Hooper, former Tri-State star I and manager who played with Harris | burg, Lancaster and otlier teams, next [.season will lead the Chambersburg team in the Blue Ridge League. !

Wharton I Sinkler was re-elected chairman of the I football committee of the University of Pennsylvania at its organization meet ' ing hold yesterday. After the election jof chairman the committee, which consists of Kalph Morgan, Wharton , Sinkler, J. R. ("Lud") Wray, Captain Neilson Murray Mathews and Manager Charles Lovett, went into session and discussed the coaching question. It was agreed that the advisory sys tem should be done away with and the responsibility be placed solely in tho hands of one man, and to give the coach as many assistants as lie should require. The coach will be given the whole hearted co-operation of the football committee in every detail. The com mittee hopes that the entire under graduate body will co-operate with the football committee in giving every pos sible assistance to tho head coach and his assistants and stand behind the coaches and players no matter who may be selected. Another important question consid ered was that concerning the obtaining of a trainer for the eleven. The foot ball committee, while not having se lected a man, discussed the appli cations of several men. The commit tee will get in touch with the other committees in regard to the trainer. The committee will insist on a trainer. Death Toll in Three Outdoor Sports Hunting—62 killed Baseball—s9 killed. Football—l 6 killed. These figures, compiled on the most recent season in tho three branches of outdoor sport, show hunting the most dangerous pas time. There were as many deaths in baseball as in hunting', but the baseball season covers nine months of the year, while hunting lasts only a few months, and there are many, many more persons engag ed in baseball than in hunting. The football season lasts about as long as the hunting seasoji, but the death toll is much small :r. Besides the 62 persons killed in hunting, 66 were badly in jured. The figures are gathered from eighteen States. Last year the dead numbered 111, the in jured 162. The decrease is probably due to the fact that fewer persons hunted this year. Wisconsin, for instance, passed a law prohibit ing the shooting of does and lim iting each hunter to one buck. Many old-time hunters stayed at home. Michigan, as has been the case for several years, led in deaths with fourteen. Two women were killed. -—■ . , Hunters Busy in Woods; Five Deer Visit Tower State College, Pa., Dec. 16.—While all the licensed deer hunters of Pine Grove Mills were scouring the Seven mountains yesterday for their last shots of the season, five deer, two bucks and three does, came into the village and spent most of the day feed ing in the fields and drinking from the town reservoir. Every one of the 300 villagers went to see the animals, Jrut not one of the 350 stay-at-homes had a license to shoot the game. Messengers were rushed to find R. I. Watt, deputy game warden, and the only person in Pine Grove Mills au thorized to issue licenses, but Watt, too, was hunting deer seven miles away. The deer were surrounded un til nightfall, with the hope that some legalized gunner would come home and shoot tho bucks. None Came and the deer went back into the hills, safe for another year.

It will not come until three signatures are placed to the agreement proposed. It is the John K. Tener plan that is ex pected to bring the answer. Ho said two years ago that an agreement would have to come on terms named by the National league. Tho end of the war in baseball circles will not bring much happiness, it will mean the loss of jobs to many players and to others a big cut in sal ary. Free agents who have oppor tunity to sign a contract cannot afford to lose any time dickering over the amount of pay.
