Harrisburg Players Leave For
Home Tonight; Await
Draft Season
The New Tork State League season
l in Harrisburg came to and end this
afternoon with a double-header be
tween the Islanders and Syracuse. The
; games were a big attraction because
the Stars have won this season's hon
<frs. Owing to the lack of interest in
minor league towns, post-season series
will be cut out this year, and few
teams on the Farrell circuit will be
! busy next week.
i The local players will leave to-night
j for their homes. Some have arranged
to play independent baseball for a
j few days. Manager George COckill
; holds in reserve every player under
contract and unless drafted they will
all return to Harrisourg next season.
New Players Coming
In addition to the regulars there
I will be a bunch of promising young
i sters on whom Manager Cockill holds
|an option.
! No game will be ptayed at Reading
ion Monday. Reading and Scranton
j players end their contracts to-day.
1 The Xew York State League man
) agers will now await the draft season
I results after which they will get busy
iln lining up teams for next season.
It is the belief that a meeting will
|be held here early In January for
the purpose of reorganizing the New
York State League circuit.

coast.
Russians Are Fighting
Bulgarians on Front From
Danube to Black Sea
I London. Sept. 9.—Russian troops
, I massed in great force in the Dobrudja
I have engaged the Bulbars on the whole
[ front from the Danube to the Black Sea.
! They are fighting fiercely to wrest the
offensive from the invaders.
The Bulgars. reinforced by Austrlans
ind Turks, have advanced in two col-
I umns. One, under Von Mackensen, took
; Turtukai. on the Danube. The other,
striking along the Black Sea coast, has
raptured Dobric. ten miles from the
. border, and the ports of Baltjlk. Kavar
jna and Kah Akra, in southernmost
, Dobrudja.
Before the enemy's advance the Ru
manians fell back, waiting for the Rus
! plans to battle in this territory and
concentrating their efforts In Transvl-
I vanla. The Czar's troops have arrlv
i ed in strength now and a furious strug
gle has begun. If the Russians are vie-;
torious they will begin the Invasion of'
j Bulgaria from the north.
Success For Rumanians
Meanwhile the Rumanians are push
ing vigorously the trust in Transyl
vania. Vienna admits a withdrawal
from positions west of the Gyergo line
i in the northern part of the province.
and Sofia concedes the abandonment
i of Orzova on the Danube near the Iron
I Gate.
i King Ferdinand's forces are now
more than thirty miles into Transyl
i vanla on the north. This stroke In con
i Junction with the pressure northward
from the Hermannstadt line is design
ed to force the Teuton out of Transyl
j vanla. It is progressing steadily.
The capture of Orzova gives the Ru
| manlans a grip on the Austrian second
1 line of defense, behind the mountains
dividing Transylvania from Hungary
; To the Teutons its loss means the ham
pering of traffic along the Danube,
i which served as a supply line for Tur
i k *i''
The Rumanian commander evidently
is determined that the Bulgar Invasion
of the Dobrudja shall not interfere
with the operations on Transylvania.
! The arrival of the Russians on the
Danube line gives King Ferdinand's
generals the opportunity to press the
, Austrian Campaign with new vigor. In
creasing activity on this front—and co
operation from the Russians in the
Bukowina can be expected.
While London is not disposed to dls
count the importance of the fall of
Turtukai it does not believe that Von
Mackensen's army can offer any real
threat to Bucharest.
Russian General Escapes
From Austrian Prison Camp
Petrograd, Sept. 9. General
Korniloff, formerly commander of the
j Torty-eighth Russian division, who
was captured by the Austro-Germans
| in Galica in May. 1915, escaped from
t the prison camp in which he was held
in Austria and has arrived at Bucha
rest, it is announced by the semi-offi
cial news agency. The Russian gen- j
eral reached the capital of Rumania
after a month of adventures in his
trip across Hungary, walking by night
and hidlnfc by day. Frequently he had
to go without food for days.
In one forest he was halted by
. Hungarian gendarmes, who killed one
of his companions, also an escaped
prisoner. General Korniloff after hid
ing for a time continued his Journey
to the Rumanian frontier. At the
time of his capture, he was reported
to have been seriously wounded.

British Minister of War
Warns Against Retaliation
London, Sept. 9. —"It is not likely
I that Great Britain will change her
| blacklist policy at the request of the
| United States," said Lord Robert Cecil,
minister of war trade, in discussing
I yesterday the possible effect of recent
American retaliatory legislation. Lord
Robert stated that a reply to the
blacklist protest made by the United
Stater may be expected soon. He de
clined to enter into the details of the
I contents of the reply beyond the state
| ment that the principle of forbidding
! trading with an enemy country is un
likely to be surrendered in any
measure.
The minister of war trade professed
himself puzzled by the provision in the
Washington revenue bill dealing with
; the prohibition of imports, as such
| orders, he said, were adopted strictly
in an effort to conserve tonnage and
I were applied accordingly.
BAR ALL BUT MUNITION'S
London, Sept. 9. The Official
| Gazette to-day prints an amendment
| to the order in council governing the
restrictions Imposed upon aliens by
which after October 1 the written
sanction and approval of the Board of
Trade must be obtained for the ad-
I mission to the United Kingdom of
aliens who work in any other capacity
than munitions workers. A rigid ap
plication of this order, some officials
say, apparently would exclude from
the United Kingdom foreign actors,
singers, musicians, and all others who
do not come to work in munitions fac
tories.

New York, Sept. 9. Acting as if
famished for base hits and runs, the
New York Giants yesterday sailed
into Grover Alexander and gave him
the worst drubbing that he has re
ceived this season, the score being 9
to 3 when Umpire Klem was forced
to stop play with one man out in
the Quakers' half of the ninth inning
and Luderus on first base.
The score of 9 to 3 is official, and
will so go down on the books of the
National League, according to the
rule of Secretary John A. Heydler.
Dispute Over Home Run
There was a big dispute over
whether Cravath's home run, which
started the ninth inning, should count,
making claim that the score would
have to revert to the last equal inning.
Heydler, however, decided that
Cravath's home run did count under
rule 25 of the playing rliles.
A little later it was announced that
the second contest was also off and
that the Phillies and the Giants
would meet In & double-header to-day.

League baseball for this season will
pass into history to-day. Harrisburg
has again made good in a new league.
No team on the Farrell circuit has
shown the pace equal to the Island
ers. As has been said there is a whole
lot of credit due George Cockill who
