Nine players representing the Dives, Pome roy & Stewart department store, were the trimmers. It was the first annual game between these store teams. The victors trotted off with a score of 30 to 13. There was some baseball, and a few things not according to the national game rules. Each inning furnished Interest notwithstanding the one sided score. The Bowman & Company team lead by J. William Bowman and H. H. Bowman, members of the firm, Bhowed great pluck, and took their de teat In true sportsman's fashion. The work of the firm members was an Interesting feature. Victors Had the Goods There was no denying the fact that the D., P. & s., team had the goods. They hit the ball, fielded fast and backed up Gerdes who pitched a great game. The battle went three hours, and every one on each team was still 1 working at the finish. It was a tired lot of ball players, however, when the battle was over.

C., Aug. 21.—1n the month during which the presidential campaign has been in progress the situation has not taken on an appreci able drift. About the only thing which seems certain is that the majority of the Progressives who constituted the ! Roosevelt support four years ago have returned to the Republican party. The situation therefore is that the Demo crats cannot expect any decided sup :port from the Progressives, and Wil json must gain his votes from dissat isfied Republicans and the labor vote |in the Republican party, considered [impossible by the Republican leaders. Democratic leaders who early were predicting decisive support of their party by the Progressives have given up the campaign to win over this vote as hopeless. There has been little real "punch" In the campaign thus far. President Wilson has been devoting himself to legislation and other public questions, the outcome of which his friends be lieve will aid him more than speech making. Some Republicans have been sug gesting to Mr. Hughes that he adopt a more aggressive attitude in his speeches. Mr. Hughes replied that he "did not propose to use his big bat teries so long before the election, but would begin his real campaign after President Wilson had formally ac cepted and issues could be enjoined." ;The country therefore may expect to 'witness some exciting periods in the next two months. Mr. Hughes Is I scheduled to open wide his batteries lln Maine. Democrats in Washinston are Jubi lant over the effect which they believe Mr. Wilson's endorsement of the eijrht hour day will have with labor all over the country, and they are particularly pleased with his statement that the eight-hour day should be adopted "as a basis for waxes, even where actual woeii to be done cannot be completed within etKht hours. ' This situation will undoubtedly be set forth to its full extent by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, BARONS WIN IN PITCHING DUEL Make It Three Straight From Islanders; Team Out of Form; Lack Hits Harrisburg will return to-night from a disastrous trip. According to re ports, the team has been in a crippled condition. Harrison is out of the game and may not return this season. Gough is playing right field, but not hitting the ball with the old-time spirit. The local pitchers have also been showing an uncertain stride. Walter Blair hopes for a change for the better during the week at home. Blnghamton will be the attraction Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. It will be the final appearance of the Bingoes in Harrl&burg this season. El mira follows with a four-game series, including a double-header on Satur day. Next week the team will be away for a six-day series unless the schedule is changed to save big Jumps. Then the Islanders will come home for the wind-up. Borons Clean Up Wllkes-Barre took two games .from Harrisburg on Saturday and made it three straight yesterday, winning by a score of 1 to 0. It was a pitching duel in which Dougherty outdone Parson, allowing but two hits. Har risburg was unable to get men around the circuit, while a series of hits gave the Barons the one run in the third. The games on Saturday were won on timely hits, aided by errors. The Harrisburg twirlers weakened at crit ical times in Saturday's games. The score of yesterday follows: HARRISBURG A.B. R. H. O. A. E.

Boyer to twenty-five prominent businessmen and baseball fans of Hagerstown. Boyer at the meeting showed the buyers a telegram from another town, in which he was offered a sum considerably in excess of the price, which was not made public, of that paid by the Hagerstown men. ALEXANDER HOLDS RECORD Cincinnati, 0., Aug. 21. —According to records in the hands of the National Baseball Commission the shutout game pitched by Alexander, of the Philadel phia Nationals, here, establishes a new record for no-run games pitched by one pitcher during a major league sea son. Up to last year, according to these records, Mathewson, pitching for New York, hold the honor with twelve shut out enrncs during a season. Alexander equaled this last year and surpassed It when he pitched his thirteenth shut out of the season, on Friday. ATHLETICS GET BODIE San Francisco, Aug . 21.—"Ping" Bodle, leading batsman of the Pacific Coast League, and San Francisco out fielder, will be a member of the Phil adelphia American League team next season, according to announcement by Harry Wolverton, manager of the San Francisco club. Philadelphia paid cash for Bodie. How much was not told but it was said the amount contained five figures. No other players were involved 111 the deal. Bodle had major league experience in 1914 with the Chicago Americans. who has already declared himself for Mr. Wilson's re-election. Republican leaders urge that organ ised labor never votes as a unit ac cording to orders it may receive. Ef forts by Mr. Gompers to deliver the labor vote for or against any candi date have not met with success in the past, as was shown in the great cam paign made by him against Littlefield, of Maine, and Cannon, of Illinois. Moreover, it is recoxnized that Mr. Wilson's position may result in the resentment of many thousands of small stockholders in the railroads of this country, who see in the distress of the railroads their own loss. All reports that reach Washington from the scene of Mr. Hughes' cam paigning agree that his personality has made a gratifying impression. He has hammered into the minds of his hearers some sound truths o\er which they will ponder, and he has put them into a receptive mood for the work which he will do when he enters upon his campaign In the East.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Playing in the season handicap on Saturday at Reservoir, Skip Perry re turned a card of 70, taking first hon ors. W. D. Meikle and D. R. Myers tied for second with 72 net. Perry's performance was especially note worthy in that it was the first time this season that a scratch has captured first place in this event. Albert A. Wert defeated Fred Harry in the match play handicap and D. R. Myers beat Tom Devine. G. W. Vint has displaced M. S. Kelley from first position in the bogey tournament. This latter event will close August 31. All members of the Reservoir Golf Club are eligible to play for the hand some loving cup which Fred B. Harry has presented. There will be no en trance fee and entries will be received by McEwan. Play will be in Septem ber and the tournament will be on a handicap basis, match play, 18 holes, the cup to become the permanent property of the winner. According to Mr. Harry, this will be an annual event and a new cup will be donated each year. Entries must be handed to McEwan by August 31 so that the matches may start September 2. , No 6 at the Colonial Club seems to be the Waterloo of many golfers. It is a comparatively short hole, but must be played from the brow of a steep hill across an artificial nond, and it is usually at this hazird that "sink ers" are placed carefully in the bag and a "floater" produced. The favor ite way of crossing with many ama teurs seems to be by skipping the ball from wave to wave. Sam Nissley, than whom there Is no greater golf enthusiast, wants to know whether he can't carry a trowel along among his sticks. Following his drive from No. 5 on the Colonial course the other day he spent much valuable time in looking for the elusive ball and finally found it nestling in the sand bucket of No. 6 tee. The nervous man is advised by cer tain physicians to take up golf. "Jerry" Travers, the famous golfer, may or may not agree with them, but he tells some interesting stories in the current American Magazine which in dicate the nervous strain under which many professionals of years' experi ence labor during competitions. Golf for some is a recreation and rest; for others, the hardest kind of work. In the summer handicap tourna ment at the Colonial Country Club points were awarded as follows for last week's play: H. S. Miller, 5; Hart Ogelsby, 2, and Armstrong, 2. CELEBRATES 80TH BIRTHDAY Special to the Telegraph Cove, Pa., Aug. 21. H. N.

WELLYS k CORNER All one hears about amateur and semiprofessional championships is in letters to the sport writers giving claims of the various managers. There is only one way to decide the important question as to which is the best team. Play a series. If Harris Park, Hick- A-Thrifts, Hummelstown and other teams are serious in their claims made, the one best thing to do is to arrange for a meeting and plan for a series. Manager Frank Heiney of the West End A. C. has the right idea. He would like to meet the manager of every team making a claim for the championship. He suggests that a date be fixed for a meeting and that several neutral fans be called In to act as arbitrators and arrange for the games. Victories this season while bringing laurels to the winning teams decide nothing unless there be a permanent agreement as to the championship honors. A 1 Maumaux has been suspended for ten days because he did -not go to bed before morning. Barney Dreyfuss did not tell the story of suspension. The pitcher gave It out himself. It is said the Pittsburgh twirler will try to land Invitation to Surrender Is One Official Opinion Special to the Telegraph Chicago, Aug. 21. E. P. Ripley, president of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, left for Washing ton yesterday in response to President Wilson's last call to the railroad pres idents of the country for a conference in an effort to prevent a strike of rail road employes. , "President Wilson's so-called plan for adjustment of the questions at stake is no more than an invitation to the railroads to surrender," said Mr. Ripley. When asked If he had anv hopes of a settlement Mr. Ripley said; "Yes. I have hopes—l hope the men will strike." The Santa Fe president asked why he entertained such a hope and re plied: "If a small number of men can block the country's business the country ought to know it. The sooner the bet ter. That condition ought to be de feated at once, and decisively." Mr. Ripley declared a strike would be broken In 30 days. Many Women Seek Golf Title in Western Series Special to the Telegraph Grand Rapids. Mich.. Aug. 21. Ninety-four entries have been paired for the fourteenth annual champion ship of the Women's Western Gold As sociation, which opens to-day on the links of the Kent Country Club. The qualifying round will be played on Monday, the first round of match play on Tuesday, the second round Wed nesday, semifinals Thursday, and the finals on Friday. The program calls for 18 holes each day. Trophies have been provided for winners in the first four flights, with an extra division added for those who do not qualify. Miss Elaine Rosenthal, of Chicago, the titleholder. and Mrs. H. D. Ham mond, of Indianapolis, runner-up in last year's tournament, are among the entrants already here. Miss Rosenthal will be required to play In the qualify ing test, .the rules of the association giving her a place without a prelim inary round. a berth with the Giants. The Motive Power League series end ed three \veeks ago. The Philadelphia Public Ledger yesterday prints a story that Harrisburg and Trenton are tie for honors and that arrangements will be made to play oft the series at Tren ton Saturday, August 26. Harrisburg officials have not sanctioned this ar rangement, and according to rules do not have to play the game. However, there is a probability that for the sake of sport the local nine will agree to play off the tie. but kick on playing at Trenton. John G. Martin, president of the Har risburg Sportsmen's Association, is en tered in the Grand American Handicap shootj starting at St. Louis to-day. He will not compete for State titles but has a chance to make a good record and be classed with the western States. It looks Ilk a close race for major league honors. Changes in battle grounds sometimes bring a change on the work of the teams. Winners may have been picked by doepsters, but it looks very much as if the final series will decide trie honors. ; Albany Goes to Reading; Play First Game This Week Special to the Telegraph Reading, Pa., Aug. 21.—After several disappointments, Reading Is to become a member of the New York State Lea gue to-day, when Dr. F.

Resta's average speed was 100 | miles an hour. Dave Lewis was sec j ond, in 29 minutes 56.77 seconds. Bu j zane, Galvin and D'Alene finished In the I order named. j The elimination of Ralph de Palma early in the first of the five preliminary heats was a disappointment to the crowd as he was expected to give Resta a battle for the $5,000 first prize.
