s of List
Local shooters and M. B. Stewart of
West Fairview are doing good work in
the midwinter shoot at Pinehurst, N.
C. Their scores to date have brought
them recognition in the division of
money prizes, and they are still in the
race for further honors.
John G. Martin, president of the
Harrisburg Sportsmen's Association
has scored 188 and 191, total 379; H.
B. Shoop, 181, 177, total 358; and M.
B. St,ewart, 179, 182, total 361. Fred A.
Godcharles of Milton, deputy attorney

ton, N. J., who socred 197 out of a
possible 200 at 16 yards in the second
clay's round of the 600-target contest |
in the midwinter tournament.
Clean Shooting
Piatt did not make a miss in any
of the four 20-target events, his three
misses being two in one 15-target and
one in another 15-target set. He now
has to his credit an unbroken run of
60, another of 94, and starts in to
morrow to complete an unbroken run
of 55. Piatt's score for the 400 tar
gets already shot is 384, only one point
behind the leaders, J. R. Jahn, of
Davenport, la., and W. H. Jones, of
Macon, Ga., who are tied at 385.
Jones missed his first shot this morn
ing and then proceeded to break 145
in succession, which unbroken run is
the record so far for the tournament.
George 8. McCarty, of Philadelphia,
with 188, did not do quite so well to
day as yesterday, when he made 191,
hut has made an unbroken run of 117,
which is among the three highest so
far recorded. Other Pennsylvania
scores follow.
George S. McCarty, Philadelphia.
191, 188, 379: F. A. Johnson, 112 and
78 out of 140; J. B. Fontaine, Phila
delphia, 179, 174, 353; E. G. Ford,
Philadelphia, 176, 186, 362, including
a run of 61; C. H. Newcomb, Philadel
phia. 188, 192 380; D. W. Baker,
Pittsburgh, 181, 193. 374; T. B. Sny
der, Phoenixville, entered to-day and
shot in the afternoon, 100, scoring 85; \
J. C. Bitterling, Allentown, 169, 162,
331; 11. J. Schllchter, Allentown, 187,
192, 379.
Record Price For Stars
For John McGraw's Giants
Special to the Telegraph
New York, Jan. 20.—1t was learned
to-day that the Giants paid $35,000
for the release of Kauff, $15,000 for
Rariden and SIO,OOO for Fred Ander
son. President Hempstead is prepar
\ ed to spend $40,000 more, if necessary,
r to provide John McGraw with other
players who appear to be needed for
the task.
H. F. Sinclair who is selling the
Federal League stars to the highest
bidders, already has realized $85,000
from the sale of Kauff, Rariden, An
derson and Magee, and all of this
money will go into his pocket.
The Giants, meanwhile, have hung
up a record for purchasing high-priced
players In a single deal. When Com- !
iskey put up ?50,000 for Eddie Collins
last winter he set a new mark, but
President I-lempstead has excelled it
with his $60,000 plunge.
Bennie Kauff threatens to refuse to
play with the New York Giants. Ben
nie maintains that Harry F. Sinclair
had no legal right to sell him: that he
is a free agent, and that the New York
Club of the National League must
meet terms dictated by him if Mc-
Graw wants him in his outfield this
season.
The main trouble between the
Giants and Kauff is the $5,000 bonus
lie was promised last Spring when Mc- I
Graw tried to take him from the!
Brookfeds. The club is willing to give
the bonus, but want to add it to his
salary and distribute it over a period I
of three years. Kauff wants the $5,000 i
in a lump sum.
Germany's Proposal to
Settle Lusitania Dispute
Is Rejected by U. S.
Special to the Telegraph
Washington, D. C., Jan. 20.—Ger- !
many's proposal to incorporate in the
settlement of the Lusitania case a
reservation of any admission of wrong
doing by her submarine ijommander is
understood to have been rejected by
the United States.
A new proposal from the Berlin gov
ernment is expected momentarily,
however, and there is a possibility that
the controversy may be closed by the
elimination of all mention of the
merits or demerits of the actual tor
pedoing of the vessel, Germany agree
ing to pay an indemnity for the Ameri
can lives lost, reiterating expressions
of regret and calling attention directly
or by Inference to the contention that
she already has given the most effect
ive disavowal by making assurances
for the future.

said players' services, then such play
er shall be permitted to negotiate for
his services with any other club. All
players must be tendered contracts on

Eight Japs Drift Across
Pacific in Small Boat
Special to the Telegraph
Washington, D. C.. Jun. 20.—A story
of eight Japanese fishermen who
drifted all the way across the Pacific
Ocean in a small fishing boat, landing
after twenty-four days of hardships on
the British Columbian shore, reached
the Bureau of Navigation to-day in
consular dispatches.
The narrative tells how the fisher
men, caught off the harbor of Shimola,
Japan, in a storm that carried away
their vessel's mainmast and rudder,
were driven eastward by ocean cur
rents, helpless, and. toward the end of
their trip, half-starved. The boat
grounded on one of the small unin
habited islands that dot the British
Columbian shore, where the men re
mained- until picked up by a passing
steamer.
ROHRKR-STEHMAN WEDDING
Special to the Telegraph
Landisville, Pa., Jan. 20.—Miss Eliz
abeth Stehman, of Lundtsville, was j
married Tuesday evening to Enos
Rohrer, of East Hempfield, at the par
sonage of the Grace Lutheran Church, i
the Rev. Dr. Haupt officiating.
NEW YORK PAYS $22,500 FOR GREAT FED STAR
LEE MAGEE
Some baseball authorities believe that Lee Magee is the greatest player
in the game, with the single exception of Ty Cobb. He showed wonderful
form with the Federal League club of Brooklyn last season. Captain Hus
ton. one of the owners of the New York American League club, who ne
gotiated the deal, paid $22,500 for the Fed. Magee is equally as good as a
second baseman or outfielder. The New York club needs a second baseman,
and it also needs three good outfielders.
BITTERS WIN VICTORY
The Harrisburg Academy duckpin
match last night was won by the Bit
ters. who defeated the Bakers; scores,
1628 to 1582. Colwanil and Martin
were high scorers, each having 131.

GREYSTOCK PLAY
HERE SATURDAY
Eastern League Leaders Will
Be Without McWilliams;
Local Tossers Improve
The Greystock Eastern League team
will play its second game here Satur
day night with the Harrisburg Inde
pendents. As on their first appear
ance, the "Greys" are still in first place
in the jeague standing by a comfort
able margin. They havo had hard go
ing for a time, due to Allie McWil
liams' absence from the game on ac
count of injuries.
The "Greys" have now secured "Bill"
Herron, the husky guard who form
erly played with Camden, to fill the
position made vacant by McWilliams,
and are again on a winning streak.
Independents Improve
The Independents are playing much
better ball than they were showing
when Greystock easily defeated them
in the early part of the season. With
every man in good condition, and
playing the game of which they are
capable, the locals hope for a good
showing against the leaders. McCord's
injured ankle is fast returning to nor
mal, and he expects to be in the game.
The net which has bee nplaced to
keep the ball off the stage has proved
successful in keeping the ball in play,
and makes the game much faster. At
games when the attendance is large,
chairs will be placed on the stage, and
fans can see the game from there with
no danger of being struck by the ball.
TRANSFER CHICAGO TO-DAY
Special to the Telegraph
Chicago,, Jan. 20.—The formal trans
fer of the Chicago National League
baseball club from the ownership of
Charles P. Taft to Charles H. Weegh
man was scheduled for to-day at noon.
Mr. Weegliman said the check for
$500,000 was ready for presentation to
Charles Schmalstig, the repreesntativc
of Mr. Taft, who arrived to-day.
A meeting of the stockholders of the
combined Chicago Federals and Chi
cago Nationals was held last night, at
which Harry Ackerland, who holds
some of the stock in the old Cubs, said
he did not want to sell his stock, and
that he would become a member of the
new corporation.
F. T. PRICE GETS LIFE TERM
Minneaolis, Minn.. Jan. 20. Fred
eric T. Price, convicted last Saturday
of murdering his third wife for her for
tune, was sentenced to life imprison
ment at hard labor by Judge Daniel
Fish in District Court here yesterday.
Price threw Ills wife over the edge
of a cliff and then crushed her skull
with a rock.
WELLY'SfaGORNER
It looks like a fight to the finish for
the Wlllard-Moran battle. New York
appears to have the call, but the pro
moters in that city are up against a
tough proposition in the western bid
ders. There is a desire to get the
price big enough to pull off a real
match instead of a ten-round bout.
The officials of the National League!
have up to date played fair with the
Federals. The James A. Gllmore fol
lowers, on the other hand, appear to
be placing snags in the way of peace
at frequent intervals. It is understood
that every detail in the agreement
must be made final this week. The
public is not responsible for the losses
sustained by the Feds and should not
be made to pay the shortages.
The list of Federal League players
who are now free agents includes a
number of promising youngsters.
There will be some lively bidding for
the boys who can make good. If Har-

star of the game, scoring sixteen of the
twenty-four points made by his team.
