Philadelphia, Jan. 11. Johnny
Dundee, of New York, the Italian ter

BASEBALL CLUBS
PLAN WORLD TOUR
"Muggsy" McGraw to Take 1
Two Teams to South Amcr- j
ica; Interest at Panama
Special to the Telegraph
New York, Jan. 11. —• With the
baseball war at an end, Ted Sullivan,
of Chicago, the veteran baseball pro
moter, is already planning to carry
out Manager John J. McGraw's idea
of touring South America next season
with two baseball clubs made up of
stars from the National and American
leagues.
Soon after the successful trip
around the world by the Giants and
the Chicago White Sox Manager Mc-
Graw, with Charles Comiskey and Mr.
Sullivan, talked over the South Am
erican tour, but on account of the in
vasion of the Federal League and the
decrease in interest in baseball the
plan was temporarily abandoned.
In the interest of Mr. Comiskey and
Mr. McGraw, Ted Sullivan has visited
Washington and conferred with the
delegates of the Pan-American Scien
tific Congress in regard to the trip.
One of the clubs will probably be the
[Chicago White Sox and McGraw will
make up the other club from Na
tional League players.
Much Interest at Panama
There is much interest in baseball
| in Panama, where there is a league of
I live clubs, made mostly of American
j engineers who have been working on
| the canal. The plan of the baseball
party next winter is to tlrst visit
! Panama and play several exhibition
I games there. The party then plans
to visit South America and make the
trip down the east coast around the
cape and up the west coast.
I South America is one part of the
! globe where professional baseball
; clubs have never touched. The game
| is played down there by Americans,
i but it has never been taken up in a
: professional way. The South Amer
' ican delegates In Washington were
| enthusiastic over the plans which Mr.
| Sullivan laid before them, and there
j seems to be little doubt that the tour
! will be carried out as first planned
j by Manager McGraw.
Mr. McGraw is also enthusiastic
' about the trip and predicts that it will
i be even more successful than the tour
I around the world two years ago.
| "The trip we took around the
j world,' said Mr. McGraw. "was one
! of the best things that ever liappen
led for baseball. It gave foreign coun
tries a new Impression of our idea of
I sportsmanship, and 1 think that if
the war hadn't come soon after we
I visited England that our national
game would have taken a foothold
! there."
Short Training Season
For World's Champions
Special to the Telegraph
| Boston, Mass., Jan. 11. The
I World's Champion Boston Americans
! will have less training for the coming
I American League season than ever
j before, according to the Spring sclied
i ule announced to-day by Manager Bill
Carrigan. Hot Springs, Ark., will be
the site of the Red Sox camp, as in
other years.
The battery candidates will go there
| March 10, a week later than usual,
and other players will be ordered to
I report March 17.
| The squad will leave Hot. Springs
before April 1. the date of the first of
| three games to be played with the
Memphis team in that city. Louisville
and Cincinnati, exhibition stops on
j previous schedules, have been dropped
| this season, and the worlds' cham
| pions will go directly to Brooklyn un-
I less, possibly a game is arranged for
I April 5' at Baltimore or Newark,
j Three games will be "played with
I Brooklyn, April 6, 7 and 8.

Twirler Ray Collins Is
Ready to Quit Baseball
Burlington, Vt., Jan. 11.—Probably
prompted by the fact that he Is con
fronted with a big cut in salary, Ray
Collins, pitcher of the Red Sox, an
nounced his retirement from base
ball.
No explanation is made by Collins
of his present frame of mind, but It.
is said the southpaw is discouraged
over his failure to show old-time form
with the Red Sox last year. He suf
fered the most disastrous season in
his career and was batted hard gen
erally when he was sent to the hill.
At present Collins is devoting atl
his time to farming. He has invested ,
a good sum in a large tract near Bur
lington, where he plans to settle
down to the qutet and peaceful life
of an agriculturist.
Joe Jackson Highest
Price Star in Baseball
Baseball fans have been laboring
under a misapprehension. It seems,
that Eddie Collins is the highest priced
star in the game. Now it develops
that the erstwhile "Shoeless" Joe
Jackson is the rare and expensive
jewel. In the first place Charlie
Comiskey paid $31,000 in cash and
gave two players to the Clevelands for
Jackson. The players are quoted at
J 5,000. Now a third player is to be
added to bind the bargain. He is Larry
Chapelle, and Comiskey paid a cool
SIB,OOO for him. This makes a total
of $54,000 for Jackson, while Col
lins cost but $50,000. The Old Roman
is certainly lavish when It comes to
paying a fancy price for what he
wants.

Leap Year Joke Proves
Boomerang to Young
Brooklyn Lawyer
New York, Jan. 11. —Clinton B. :
Smith, a young lawyer and son of'
Judge Clinton Smith, of Brooklyn,
realizes the value of publicity. Just
now he wishes he had not courted
publicity, and most of all that he had
not attempted to perpetrate a leap
year joke on thirty of his girl friends.
As a result, several hundred girls are
making an attempt to lead him to the
marriage altar.
Mr. Smith, who is thirty-two, six
• feet tall and good looking, sent out
I thirty cards, bearing the following in
! scription, neatly engraved, as a joke:
"191ti being leap year, Mr. Clinton
D. Smith wishes to announce that he
is still a bachelor.
"N. 8.--His antique mahogany fur
niture goes with him."
One of the girls who received a card
gave it to a newspaper reporter and
then—Mr. Smith is now dodging
] women every moment of his waking
I day. The telephone in his office is
| kept busy by inquiring maids, most
of whom wish to know if the antique
furniture is genuine. Twenty accept
ances have been received and only one
refusal.
"I sent those cards out as a joke,"
I said Mr. Smith in his office between
I periods of answering the ever-ringing
telephone. "I don't think any of the
! girls to whom I sent the cards took
i the joke seriously, but since the story
| has gotten into the newspapers, it is
!no longer a joke to me. The laugh 1
■ is on me now."
j Mr. Smith condescended to describe
1 his ideal. She should have blue eyes,
J curly dark hair, a sense of humor and
| should be a college girl but not "too
| educated." She should also be fond
I of animals and children—and antique
i furniture.
"Whoever gets the furniture will
J have to take me, too," wearily con
! eluded the young lawyer.
A NEW OYSTER DISH
j Oysters large enough to fry or boil
! are known to the trade as "counts"
are much more expensive than the
; smaller variety, which are usually
i used for stews. An oyster stew is a
; very good dish, but one gets tired of
,the same thing all the time, so some
1 day try scalloped oysters and use
; this small variety that you formerly
i bought for stew. Match your china
iin a pretty enameled ware baking
i dish—this ware is made nowadays in
la vast number of different shades.
Butter the inside and put in a layer of
cracker dust. Over this spread a lay
|or of oysters sprinkled with salt and
! pepper and just a few drops of lemon
I juice. Repeat this until the dish is
j full then pour over the whole the
! oyster liquor you have remaining,
i Make an ornamental finish to your
i dish by trimming the top with oyster
crackers set on edge. This makes a
very pretty as well ag substantial
"company" supper dish.

WELLY'SWGORNER'
With the completion of the baseball
peace pact will come the end of the
National Commission. August Herr
mann has given notice that he will re
sign as president. How baseball
controversies will be handled In the
future is a question. None of the
Commissioners will offer a suggestion
as to future baseball court.
The passing out of the National
Commission may mean the elimina
tion of world's baseball series. Of
course there will be but two major
leagues. Each can name a committee
to arrange for the series, and have a
neutral representation to decide cer
tain points.
It. must not be overlooked that the
world's series were never successful
until the National Commission took
hold. Each league head will fight
for his own, and there should be a
disinterested party as a go-between.
It looks like more troublesome times
before the next series is played.
The head of the International Lea

right in his stand to take care of the
BIG CIRCULATION
BY NEW LIBRARY
City's Institution Put Out Over
111,100 Books During the
Year Just Closed
Circulation of books by the Har
risburg Public Library during 1915
was 8,894 greater than in 1914 ac
cording to the annual report of Miss
Alice R. Eaton, the librarian, which
was submitted to the board of trus
tees at the January meeting last
night. The circulation during the
year was 111,110 of which seventy
five per cent was of Action. The
Library contains between 15,000 and
16,000 books so that it. can be seen
that the circulation was unusually
large.
The registration for the privilege
of taking out books, which Is free to
everyone, amounted to 11,871 when
the year closed. A big proportion of
the registration was of school chil
dren. who are given special facilities
for taking out books from the juve
nile portion of the Library and for
whom a story hour is given every
Saturday. In addition the children
are provided with a special place to
read.
The number of readers at the
Library during the year showed a
big gain as well, there having been
37,485. Of this number 12,757 were
children.
During the year there were num
erous books added, including many
purchased through the Lyman D. Gil
bert memorial fund.

COLD STORAGE IS
CAUSE OF ARREST
State Agents Bring Charges
Against People in Phila
delphia and Elsewhere
Thirty-two arrests, twenty-two of
which were ordered in. Philadeluhia,
have been made by direction of the
State Department of Agriculture for
violation of the cold storage law. This
Is the largest number of arrests ever
ordered at one time for this of
fense and it is likely that as a result
of inspection work that more will
follow.
The Philadelphia arrests were main
ly for the sale of cold stora.ge eggs
without labelling them as cold storage
food and three for fraud in selling
ancient eggs as No. 1 country fresh
eggs. Other arrests were made for
violation of the cold storage laws in
Allegheny and Montgomery counties.
In addition arrests were made for
the sale of a turkey no longer fit for
food in Pittsburgh and for the sale
of cold storage products In other
counties which men reported had
passed the state of usefulness for
food.
The reports of the cold storage
warehouses on January 1 are com
mencing to reach the Department, of
Agriculture and show a tremendous
amount of food held In storage, but.
a decline in the number of eggs. The
bulk of the eggs in this State are
stored in April and the time limit runs
out in December. Practically all the
rest are sent out in January and
February as the southern eggs com
mence to come in from Dixie by tha
carload in March and prices drop.
The export trade in eggs has not beta
as heavy as expected a year ago.
