He retired the side on strikes in the third and in all struck out seven men, and did not issue a base on balls. Gilday also pitched nice ball for the Smith Shop, being especially steady in the pinches, and striking out four men, the one hit secured off him being of the scratch variety. Rhoads caught a nice game for the Planing Mill, also securing their only hit, while Geary played his good game at third. For the Smith Shop Bricker played a nice game at first, while Hocker and Garman played nice games in the field, the latter pulling down a nice fly. Standing of the Teams W. L. P. C.

Pros pects for a team are not bright. Ac cording to reports, the price for a franchise in the New York State League is now $4,000. Half of this amount must be paid in at once. It is the general belief that a can vass should be made by Manager Cockill and those anxious for a team. To date no offers of subscriptions have been received. The $1,500 in sight includes an offer from Manager Cockill and Walter Blair. One plan suggested was to sell stock at SSO per share. Accordlnng to figures given out, at an average attendance of 1,000, start ing June 15, the profits shoudl not be less than $4,800. If the attendance averages but 800, there would be a profit of $2,500. One local enthusiast said last night: "I would like to see a team here. Harrisburg should have baseball, but I do not think a large amount of money ought to be paid out at this time. Lew Wachter of Troy has a tail-end team. He is playing his games on the road. If the New York State League is anxious to get Har risburg on the circuit, President Far reK should have Troy located in Har risburg during the balance of the sea son. It would pay better than the present arrangement. In the mean time local supporters could get to gether and organize an association to take over the franchise. It is rather late to put money in a tail-end team. Lew Wachter would not lose anything by playing the balance of the season in Harrisburg." Rich Stake For Trotters; Big Event at Belmont Track Philadelphia. June 7.—Fifteen trot ters eligible to the 2.30 class and the best field of this class that has ever faced the starter in this vicinity race in the fifth annual horse dealers' sweepstake at Belmont track to-day. With the entire purse and a silver cup going to the winner of the event, the race will b# contested on its merits from start to finish, and it is expected that this year's raoe will be the best ever held. For the last month or more the trotters have been carefully prepared for this race, which is the principal feature of the light harness season in this city, and several of the candidates have stepped work-out miles better than 2.14. Last year the fastest heat was in 2.11%, and it is not unlikely that this time will he equaled to-day. I GEORGE H. SGURBIER 1 FUNERAL DIRECTOR 1310 Norih Third Street Bell Phone. Auto Service.

In the second 18 holes of the 5 4-hole competition in medal play she made a score of 86, duplicating Miss Harriott Curtis' card of yesterday's first rounds, and thus brought her total to 176 for the two days' play.

COLONIAL—"BIue Blood and Red." REGENT—"The Eternal Grind" (Pick ford). VlCTOßlA—"Mysteries of Myra." PLAYS AND FLAYERS Geraldine Farrar, star of the Metro politan Opera House, and of the Paramount Picture Program, bids fair to have a public square in the town of the birthplace named after her, if the reports coming from Melrose, Mass., are true. Mme. Farrar was a pupil in the old Horace Mann School. Two years ago the building was razed and the town fathers named the location after Horace Mann. Recently, however, a strong sentiment has sprung up to have the site, now a public square, named after the singer. Earle Williams, the Vitagraph star, is having numerous experiences in the C. N. and A. M. Williamson story which Wally Van has well under way. It will be released in fifteen episodes—one episode a week. Confederate veterans at Vicksburg, Miss., were, it is said, greatly interested in the historical details coincident to staging the "battle," a reproduction of Civil War periods. The Confederate veterans were freely consulted by Di rector Colin Campbell. "The Crisis" will be a twelve-reel production. LOCAL THEATERS "Blue Blood and Red" is the odd title of the new Fox production booked for the Colonial Thea- Wm« Fox Feature ter to-day and to ot (he Colonial morrow, which fea tures George YValsh and .Doris Pawn. The story Is quite different from the usual Fox pro duction, being one of the first Western pii-tures of its kind this company ever produced. A young man, who is a de cendent of blue blood stock, gets ex pelled from college and starts for the West. Here he meets a girl who is of red blood stock, and a romance springs to life. Friday and Saturday Bessie Barriscale and William Desmond, two of the stars of the Triangle service, will be at the Colonial in a npw five reel society drama that has caused, it is said, a sensation wherever it has been shown, entitled "Not My Sister." Two big feature dramas head the bill at the Victoria to-day. The sixth episode of "The Mys •<Tbe Mjsterles teries of Myra" will of Myra" at be presented to-day, the Victoria Novel In conception, this great psychic drama, with its greai. mysticism, is distinctly different from anything ever screened, and features Howard Esta brook and Jean Sothern. Another in teresting part of "The Girl and the Game" story will also be shown to day. T. E. Powers cartoon comedy will also be shown. For to-morrow and Friday'the feature will be "The Ne'er- Do-Well." taken from the novel of the same name by Rex Beach. Mary Pickford's appearance in "The Eternal Grind," which is the attraction at the Regent to- Mary Plckford In day and to-mor- Mnry Plckfor In row, will, it is said, unquestion ably be pronounced her "greatest." There are big scenes in the film. One of the most powerful is that in which Mary finds Ernest making love to her more frivolous sister, Amy. Suspecting Ernest of duplicity, Amy has followed him to Mary s lodgings armed with a revolver. When Mary realizes the situation, she snatches the gun from her sister and forces Ernest to remain where he is until a minister Is found. Then, concealed behind the curtains, she presses the revolver against Ernest's back while he goes through the marriage ceremony with Amy. On Friday and Saturday—Charlie Chaplin, the $670,000 comedian, will ap pear in "The Floorwalker." the first re lease under his Mutual contract. An excellent show and some regular summer weather have made the Pax tang Park playhouse the Pnxtung favorite resort of theater Park patrons so far this week. Vaudeville Jolly and Wild, a vaude ville act well known to lo cal theater patrons, is the feature at traction of the park show this week.. Wilson Franklin, with his very clever company, had the park audience con vulsed with laughter at the comedy sketch, "My Wife Won't Let Me." Al. Harrington and his two little terrier dogs, are exceptionally good. Stewart and Keeley are very clever dancers, while Helene and Emllon show almost incredible skill in an original gymnast act.

Four other pleasing acts round out the bill. Lovers of musical acts will wel come the Sixteen Navasser Girls, who head the bill for the last half of the week. This is a band, orchestra and clioir, and each of the sixteen young girls, who make up the personnel of the company. Is a soloist. Completing the bill are: Josephine Lenhart, In vocal imitations; Moore, Gardner and Rose, three men In a comedy singing, talking and piano act; Frank and Eldry Fisher, man and woman, in a comedv sketch entitled "Perseverance." and Martinetti and Sylvester, two men In a comedy ac robatic act. Country Club Decides to Increase Indebtedness The expected approval of the plan to increase the indebtedness of the Country Club of Harrisburg from $6,260\t0 $91,250 was given last even ing a,t a meeting of the club members In the Board of Trade building, when it was unanimously decided to make the increase. This final action was necessary before the work could be pushed on the new club grounds at Fort Hunter. Plans for the clubhouse have been approved and work will shortly be started with a view to hav ing the house ready for occupancy by April 1, 1917. The club has reserved the right to use the present grounds until the new club Is finished, although Dr. C. 8. Rebuck and several others have taken over the property at Coxestown. The board of governors will meet next Tuesday evening in the offices of the president, John Fox Weiss, to hear the report of Lesley McCreath, who was chairman of the committee on financing the new club project.

Tobacco COL GOLF ANTIQUES ON EXHIBITION The Fogan Collection of Cen tenarian Clubs on Display This Week at Bogar's The combined characteristics of an antique lover and connoisseur on golf sticks are perhaps not so unusual but what a sufficient number of persons possessing them may be found gazing in the display windows of George W. Bogar's sporting goods store in the Square for the next few days. The Robert Fogan collection of golf clubs is on exhibition and will there remain for the rest of the week. They are the sticks which attracted so much attention at the San !• rancisco world's fair. Longevity is the chief recommenda tion for a putter made in 1780 by one Jackson, but the modern golfer would scarcely care to risk Ms score by using this particular stick. There is also a spoon which was the result of Doug las McEwan's handiwork In 1797, and Sir Thomas Montcriefr was no slouch In 1864 when he used to drive them out of sight with some of the cluj>s that are now on exhibition here. Colonel Bogey used to shiver with ap prehension every time Sir T. M. put in an appearance. There is a list of eleven clubs, all of which have a history and all of which were collected by Robert Fogan, of St. Andrew's, Scotland, that famous happy hunting ground which has been visited by every golfer of note and which is responsible lor much that has been given to the game in years past. One of the clubs has a head that was made from an apple tree 300 years old, another is said 1o have been used by Tom Kidd when he won the Eng lish championship. The shafts of all are of hickory, the heads of black thorn and dogwood. They are of ample proportions, and resemble very little some of the dainty sticks that one sees nowadays.

RESULTS OF YESTERDAY National League Chicago 8, Philadelphia 2. St. Louis 2, Boston 1. Brooklyn 7, Cincinnati 4. JUNE 7, 1916. WELLY'S CORNER Brooklyn is leading the National League, with three other teams In the running. It looks like a season's race between the Dodgers, New York and Philadelphia. Manager McGraw has given notice that once the Giants are in firpt place, it will be some task to oust them. Cleveland, long record holder for tail-enders and second division run ners, is setting a pace this season in the American League. The Naps have undergone a rejuvenation that has brought good results. However, the American race is also assuming an in teresting stage. New York, Boston and Washington are still factors in the chase for leadership. Notwithstanding the good reports from both the International and New York State Leages, the attendance is not what it should be. Of course poor weather has been mostly responsible for the lack of crowds. In the Inter national League, however, there is a strong opposition to the game being played. It Is not up to the standard, according to reports. Breaking 150 targets without a miss yesterday at Catawissa gives President John G. Martin, of the Harrisburg Sportsmen's Association, three more chances on a gold watch. Tf he makes 15 runs of 50 straight during the sea son, the watch is the prize. Harry B. Shoop, another local shooter, has in his possession several gold watches won by straight scoring. Harrisburg athletes at Penn State received their letters yesterday. Har old A.

There was a report reached here from Boston that Tinker was dickering for Evers, but the Cubs' manager declared that the Boston club had no idea of letting Evers get away. Tinker has been looking around for some talent tr* bolster up his Infield, which is the weak spot in his team, but so far has been unable to land anyone who would improve the Cubs. Evers would fit in nicely with the Chi cago club and would make a good run ning mate for his old side partner. Tinker, In handling the team, but it is not likely that Boston will part with Johnny. If the Boston owners are willing to sell. Tinker is ready to bid pretty high for the star second-sacker. MRRTIN W. LISSF HONORED Martin W. Lisse, son of the Rev. H. F. F.
