TRY TO PUT WEST END TEAM ON MAP
W. H. KLINEPETER
Business Manager
In the organisation of the forces of the West Knd A. C.. this season, men
have be«n picked to again put this organization on the baseball map. Frank
Heiney is the manager. Kverybody knows his ability as a coach and leader.
He is a Connie Mack in amateur ranks. Looking after the schedule and busi
ness affairs is W. H. Klinepeter. This season's games will prove his worth

COCKILL COMING
HERE THURSDAY
Will Meet Prospective League
Stars; Anxious For Pro
tection
Manager George Cockill will be in
' Harrisburg Thursday. He has written
! a number of youngsters who want a
chance to play on the local State
| League team to meet him here. Man- (
; ager Cockill writes that he hits re
ceived to date 135 applications for
places on the team.
He also assures local backers that
there will be no trouble in getting
players as soon as protection is as
' sured. Baseball stars have had their 1
j troubles in outlaw leagues and there
are a number of Federal League men
who are to-day without a place to t
! play.
Limit is All Right
In the opinion of Manager Cockill, (
the Stale League salary limit is suf
ficient to guarantee a fast game. He
is anxious to get busy and is of the
opinion that it will require hard work
to put grounds in shape for the open
ing. May 10. He says; "Plans must he
right by Friday, when the league meets
at Lebanon. Only three towns are in aj
position to start now. Four of the j
managers are signing players. The
] other refuses to take a contract unUl !
nrotection is assured."

The disciple of Christ is always beset
by the temptation to accept mean de
liverances. He Is offered some easv de
llverance from hardship, some release
from deprivation, sotne escape from
pain. We are shown how he can avoid 1
contact with gruesome realities. We I
are allured to avenues where we es
cape the sights of the back streets. We !
are offered insurances against the hor
rors and terrors of our day. There is a
way out! We have only to numb our- 1
selves, and we shall know nothing
about them. These are social cocaine*,
and opiates, and drugs; and if we take
these regularly we can be delivered
from much of the seamy side of tilings;
Indeed, we shall scarcely know they
exist! And so a cunning soul. Intent
upon an ignoble escape, can manage to
wriggle through life with seeming com
fort and success. He can "pass by on I
the other side," or he ran hide the I

Battle; Moving Picture

New York. April 18. Publicity
front Indianapolis, Jack Dillon's home
town has been successful in getting
Frank Moran's backers to take up a
proposition for a battle between these
two heavyweights in the near future.
It was announced to-day that the pa
pers will be signed before the close
of the week.
"Billy" Gibson has offered Moran
J 17,500 to fight Dillon, the battle to
take place in the Manhattan Opera
House. Johnny Wetsmantle, another
promoter, has secured an option ot
several baseball fields and is anxious
to stage the tight outdoors.
The best part of tb« training work
this time will be the fact that Moran
will be paid for it. Two moving-pic
ture concerns have offered Frank
$1,250 a week to pose for a five-reel
movie which should take about four
weeks to complete. That will give
Frank about $5,000, in addition to the
royalties. The movie will be built
around his training work, so that he
will be able to be a film actor while he
is getting into shape for Dillon.

not iiiinD l> mexico
[From the Christian Herald. 1
I saw many Mexican boys with limbs
shot nIT and their faces badly bruised
—victims of the Mexican revolution.
One day at a sort of military reception
Mexican soldiers on horseback were
lined up ready to receive the guests of
honor. Tt was interesting to study the
soldiers on guard. Many of them were
old men. but a considerable number
were little fellows of 14. Two of such
little chaps, on guard, growing weary
of standing beside their horses so stead
ilv. began to play. A passing dog fur
nished amusement for them. They
prodded him with their guns, and seem
ed greatly to enjoy the howls of the
animal. There the Indian blood told:
Presently tiring of this sport, they be
gan to wrestle a bit. and to play other
pranks. Soon an officer appeared upon
the scene, but to my amazement lie
merely shook his head and spoke gently
to them. I surely expected them to
receive rather hard treatment; but the
officer, while a military man, under
stood boys!

least a foothold has been secured in
Altoona for the Pennsylvania State
league, recently organized, including
the cities- of Harrisburg, York, Lan
caster, Reading, Lebanon, Allentown,
Johnstown and this city, is evidenced
by the information that J. Percy Stet
ler, who held Altoona's franchise until
the meeting last week, has contracted
for a lease on the okl Y. M. C. A. park
at Kast End as a playing field.
The Kast End park is owned by

years, the playing park of lhe Shop
men's League and later the lnter
ihurch League.
it is understood thai Stetier secured
a lease'on the grounds for one vear.
With his transfer of the franchise lo
George Lee, a similar change has been
made in th<? tease.
Lee, who will handle the Altoona in
terests in the new league, is a former
outfielder in (he Xew York State
League and is a native of New Bruns
wick, X. J. He is expected in Altoona

WELLYSjg&CORNER
Baseball fans arc not a little con
cerned about the Pennsylvania State
Baseball League. To date. Manager
George Cockill appears to be the only
manager who is showing any activity
in signing players. There is also a
general belief that York, Altoona and
Allentown will not have grounds ready
by May 10.
Thus far the I.eague has met nil ex
penses and has not renigged on one
proposition. The promoters have been
slow in showing their hands, but it Is
explained that just now certain feat
ures of the new proposition must re
main a secret. With a few days over
three weeks remaining to get teams
and grounds into shape, it is not de
nied that considerable activity must
be shown in order to start on sched
ule time.
Organized baseball is the only
game that will succeed. It will be
known Wednesday regarding -protec
tion for the Pennsylvania State League,
if the application made last Friday
is received favorably, it is the belief
the Atlantic League will have little
chance to get regular players. The
latter having been holding off for pro
tection.
All record* are being broken for In
terest In shooting contests in Harris
burg and vicinity. It is estimated that
no less than 10,000 targets and shells
were tised in practice matches on
Saturday. The Pennsylvania Railroad
shooters will be out every Saturday.
Members of the Harrisburg Sports-
I men's Association will -hold weekly
! shoots and will coach the members of
the Tech High and Harrisburg Aca
i demy teams. On June 24-25 an Inter-
State Registered shoot will he held at
I Second and Division streets, and It is
' expected that many shooters, now
beginners will be lined up.
WARREN COUNTY

Enthusiastic Support For the

From the Northwest
That the "State-wide Good Roads
Day" of 1916 will go far ahead of (
its predecessor in good results is
evidenced by reports received at the

county organizations throughout the

indications of this is the activity being I
taken by civic bodies, chambers of J

like organizations in furthering the

In Warren the Chamber of Com

most in urging ail citizens to make
