10 PARSONS PUZZLES MINERS-TENNIS MATCHES M'GRAW TO QUIT TWO YEARS HENCE Giant Manager Says Age Is Telling on Him; Wants Rest Speciel 19 tht TeletrcpH New Tork, Aug. S.—John J. McGraw. manager of the Giants since 1902 is seriously contemplating retiring from baseball with the close of the 191S season, when his present contract ex pires. At the Polo ground yesterday McGraw said that while he had not made up his mind definitely he was giving the subject a great deal of thought. His future course is uncer tain and will probably be determined by what happens between now and October, 191$. "I'm getting old and I'm beginning to feel the strain of the game." said McGraw. "I have been in baseball a . long time and I don't feel that I want to spend all my life in it. My con tract expires in 191S and I have thought that I wouldn't sign another. Nothing is settled in my mind, and I wouldn't want to say definitely that I was plan ning to leave the Giants in 191S, al though I may." The fact that McGraw is thinking of leaving the team lends color to the rumors published when the recent deal was put through whereby the Giants let Matty go to Cincinnati in exchange for Herzog. that the New York club desired to have a string on Matty so that he could be recalled at the end of two years. Xo confirmation was ob tainable at that time that the Giants were looking forward to a day when McGraw would lay down the reins, but It seems now that such was the case." iH "VELSOR" A LIGHT STARCHED Worn with or without a pin 15c ea. 6 for 90c. 51.75 the doz. , CLUZTT, PEABODY & CO. INC. Makers i IS IT F To protect and permit the people of the City of Harrisburg, who desired to use Jit ney busses ajid also to compel the Jitney to pay its just share of city taxes: the City of Harrisburg passed a Jitney ordinance. Un der this ordinance, many honest Jitneys have and are operating to the complete satisfac tion and safety of us all. Lately, an outside organization came to town and compelled us to stop operating the street cars, for your convenience, by induc ing a small part of our employes to go out without notice on a so-called street car strike. And this outside organization has caused disorder and mobs that have endan gered the-satety of the people of Harrisburg. To-day, two kinds of Jitneys are operated; those under the city ordinance who pay their - just share of the city taxes, the same as you and we do, and the Jitneys from here, there and even-where, safe and unsafe autos with fair and unfair charges, who pay nothing to wards the up-keep of our beautiful city. Is it fair? First, to the Jitney who is paying his just share of city taxes, operating with a fair charge under your ordinance; and again, is it fair to all of us who pay our iust part of the city's up-keep to allow outsiders the free use of our streets? And— This outside organization, whose interests are now and ever will be, foreign to the best interests of the City of Harrisburg, insists that you shall repeal your city ordinance and so make these outsiders stronger by allow ing other outsiders, good and bad Jitneys, the free use of your public thoroughfares. Again, may we repeat: Xo strike-breakers are employed by this Company. All street cars are operated by Conductors and Motormen—citizens of Har risburg —earning an honest living, working where they choose to work, making your ride safe and pleasant. Harrisburg Railway TUESDAY EVENING, WELLY'S k CORNER The regular monthly meeting of the Pennsylvania State Fish and Game Protective Association will be held in Philadelphia to-morrow night at S o'clock. Proposed legislation will be discussed and a number of members admitted. This Association promises to be quite active during the next session of the Legislature. Elmira is now in sirtn place and closely followed by Harrisburg. Con roy's bunch has not won a game since July 23 when they trimmed Wilkes- Barre twice in one day. They dropped from third place by reason of this slump. Indications are that Albany will not quit the New York State League until next season. Reading is ready to take over fast baseball, but Sunday base ball and ground interests are holding up the efforts of the boosters in that city. There may be a decided change in the New York State League circuit next season. Interest in "Western tennis matches is marred by wholesale defaulting. Yesterday eighteen participants in the first round failed to respond, and 15 missed the second call. The West End team is sticking to the game. On Saturday they played the Midway team of Enola. Manager Frank Heiney has suffered by the loss of several star players but he still has a fast bunch and will play out his schedule, notwithstanding the loss of Fight Articles Do Not Please Manager Bletzer Special to Ike Telegraph Baltimore, Aug. s.—The articles for the muchly discussed proposed cham pionship bout between George Chaney and Johnny Kilbane reached Baltimore yesterday and, to put it bluntly, they are very unsatisfactory. Manager Bletzer will get in touch with Matt Hinkle and endeavor to get matters straightened out. The articles as sent to Bletzer say nothing about Kilbane except that Cha ney is to meet him for the feather weight championship. The entire arti cles are devoted to what Chaney must do in the way of weight and forfeits. There is no mention of what Kilbane must do, and Bletzer wants all of this incorporated in the one set of articles. It is possible that separate sets be tween Kilbane and the promoter have been made out, but Bletzer wants more of this. At one place the articles call for a weight forfeit of SSOO that Chaney make 122 pounds ringside at 3 o'clock games through the disbandinent of other teams. Because the Athletics are no longer a drawing card. American League managers have taken up arms against Manager Connie Mack and will insist that he strengtheh his team. It is said that Mack's present policy is very un popular. Four local leagues had fast games yesterday. With Veteran Finifrock pitching, the Planing mill team of the Lucknow Shop League defeated the Smith Shop, score 3 to 0. It was a no-hit no-run game. No. 3 team in the Enola League won from No. 1. score 3 to 2. Errors of omission by the looser were a factor. Fortney pitched a good game. Reading handed a bump to the Stanley team in the Alli son Hill League, score 4 to 3. It was a four-inning game, the latter ending because of a decision of Umpire 'Wash burn. In the Globe Right Posture League the Grays defeated the Reds, score 4 to 3. Snyder's pitching for the Reds was a feature. He allowed but three hits. Fredericks and Moltz were stars. Elmira's slump ended yesterday, | the Conroy bunch taking two games from Utica, scores 7 to 2 and 4 to 2. In both games the Elmira hitters were |in evidence. Syracuse and Bingham ton had a battle royal in the chase : for first place, the Bingoes losing by a score of 1 to 0. Ehmke pitched for ithe Stars. Albany won from Wilkes- Barre, score t> to 3. The Senators bunched hits. ' the day of the bout. Then there is an | other forfeit of SI,OOO for appearance, which, according to the articles, will also be lost if Chaney should happen to scale more than 122 pounds. While Bletzer is confident that George will have no difficulty in making the weight, he says he will not agree to more than SSOO as a weight forfeit. The articles also say that Chaney is to get $6,500 for his share of the purse. Bletzer states that he told Hinkle that SSOO of this was for expenses, and that! this amount would have to be turned ; over to him the moment the articles were signed.

HARRISBLTRG TELEGRAPH PARSON'S CURVES WORRY MINERS Islanders Whitewash Bill Coughlin's Team in Open ing Battle of Series Harrisburg had a strenuous after noon yesterday in the opening battle with Bill Coughlin's Miners, winning the game with a score of 3 to 0. In every inning but one. Scranton had men on bases. Their best chance came in the eighth when the bases were fill ed with but one man out. Parson from the pitching hill worked everything he had in the way of curves and speed. It was mostly his lightning flings that had the Miner's guessing. A strong fortification behind this young ster made scoring impossible. On the other hand. Buckles, picked as a ma jor star next year, shot the shrapnel across the plate with little effect. There were intervals when he fooled the local hitters .but aHrrisburg had men on bases in five out of eight frames. In the first inning a hit by Cook, his steal to second, a bad throw by Ritter and an out from third to first gave the Islanders one run. With one man down in the seventh Harrison was walked. Downey and Elliott singled in succession and scored Harrison. Wheat started the eight with a single. Par sons sacrificed. Layden singled scor ing Wheat. The score: HARRIS BURG AB. R. H. O. A.
