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."

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.

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.

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:

SUSPENSION FOR TWO
Chicago, Aug. B.—Chester Thomas,
the Boston American's catcher, and
Jimmy Austin, third baseman of the
St. Louis Americans, were indefinitely
suspended yesterday by President John
son for their participation in a fistfight
at St. Louis yesterday. James Lannin,
president and owner of the Boston
team, issued a statement here to-day
justifying Thomas' participation in the
fight at St. Louis, and added, "Had
Thomas not gone after Austin and
fought back, I would have fined him
for his lack of aggressiveness."
