Football Authority
The selection of "Shorty" Miller as
an additional football coach for Tech
met with a hearty approval. Through
out the city much comment was heard.
In order to whip a squad into form
two coaches are a necessity. Miller
will probably take care of the backs
and Pendergast look after the line.
Both local coaches are good men. They
have a broad knowledge of the grid
iron game and the results of their
work will be watched with interest.
Reading: Race Program Is
Season's Record Breaker
Reading, Pa.. Sept. 13.—The great
est race program in the history of the
Reading Fair Association was inaugu
rated yesterday afternoon.
Each of the race winners acquired
new records. The feature event was
the 51,000 race for 2.25 trotters, the
Hotel Penn stake, which also carried
a handsome silver trophy to the win
ner. Ethel Johnson won the event in
straight heats, showing a turn of speed
and reducing her former record by five
seconds. Virginia Todd was the factor,
with Blonde Boy close up.
The 2.2 4 class pace produced a field
of five side-wheelers, but two of the
number were very unsteady in the
opening heat and distanced. Queen
Bell won tjie first heat in 2.16 U. after
which the Philadelphia entry, Doctor
R.. was sent to the front and won out,
taking a mark of 2.15 U and making
his fourth win in three weeks. Queen
Bell showed a game finish in all the
heats, but could not land.
The 2.17 class trot went to the New
Jersey entry, Celia Dillon, in straight
hc-ats. She outclassed her field, but
Adbell Penn. always the factor, forced
her to a record of 2.15'* in the final
heat.

Lester S. German, the old New York
National League Club pitcher, of Bal
timore, Md., topped both his own pro
fessional class and amateurs in the

face of the strong, puffy, droptive
wind, which Jumped the blue rocks at
uncertain and difficult angles. He

Major Magnates Uncertain
as to World's Series Plans
New York, Sept. 13.—Owing to the
closeness of the two major league
pennant races and the resultant uncer
tainty regarding the contenders for
world's series honors, members of the
national commission are seriously han
dicapped in their efforts to draw up a
schedule and make other arrange
ments for the holding of the series,
less than a month away.
Although the date for the opening I
game has been unofficially set for Sat- '
urday, October 7, the fact that the com
mission is unable to determine at this
time which clubs will participate is
hampering-the completion of the many i
details and arrangeriients which they
wish to clear up well in advance if the
series is to move smoothly once the i
play is on.
This problem, it was announced here 1
yesterday, will be fully discussed at
Cincinnati on Friday when the com- ,
mission and the club owners gather for
the annual drafting of minor league
players. The situation may result, it
was indicated. In the extraordinary |
procedure of preparing a number of
world s series schedules covering Na
tional and American League clubs
which have a chance to win the right
to compete in the baseball classic.
Only three weeks leeway will exist
at the time the magnates meet in Cin
cinnati and it has been suggested in
official circles that the only way to
meet the conditions would be to adopt
this broad schedule plan, probably in
cluding Brooklyn, Philadelphia and
Boston in the National League and
Boston. Detroit and Chicago in the
American League.
How Leaders Size Up
After Yesterday's Battles
By reason of their victory over
the Cards, the Phillies made a de
cided gain on the Dodgers yester
day for the National league lead.
The Pirates held the Dodgers to an
even break, enabling the Phils to
gain a half game on them, and this
morning they are only one full
game behind first place. Boston
beat the Clubs in one game and
tied them in another, and are three
games behind Brooklyn and two
games back of the Phillies. Stand
ing of the leaders:
W. L. P. C.
Brooklyn .... 78 53 .595
Phillies 76 53 589
Boston 73 54 .575
It was a good day for Detroit in
the American League. The Tigers
romped to victory at Cleveland,
while the leading Red Sox dropped
a tough battle to Washington. The
Tigers now stajid only half a game
behind Boston. To add to the De
troit triumph. Chicago fell half a
game back through its defeat by
St. Louis, the White Sax now hold
ing third place, two games back of
Boston. Standing of the leaders:
W. L. P. C.
Boston 78 57 .578
Detroit 79 59 .572
Chicago 77 60 .562

CRITICISE HUNGARIAN DEFENSE
London, Sept. 13. The Morning
Post's Budapest correspondent says
there is Intense indignation in Hungary
over the government's failure to pro
vide against a Rumanian advance im
mediately after the declaration of war.
"The Rumanians reached Important
points within the frontiers before the
people realized what was happening,"
says the correspondent. "There were
no Austro-Hungarian soldiers to be
seen at most of these points and the
defense all along the frontier was
undertaken by gendarmes, railway
men and peasants."
REFCSED TO RELEASE GOODS
New York, Sept. 13. lmporters
here were disappointed to-day by In
formation that Manton W. Wyvell,
who was sent to London by the State
Department to negotiate for the re

the value of several million dollars
detained at Rotterdam, is soon to leave
England for America without having
obtained from the British authority
with a promise to consider applica
tions in due time.

Shortage of Hose Is
Reported to Firemen's Union
The various fire companies of the city
were fully repreesnted at the monthly
meeting of the Firemen's Union, at the
Friendship enginehouse. last evening.
Reports were made that the flues of
the Friendship engine were leaking, ana
also one set of nests of the Good Will
steamer. There is such a shortage of
hose that two or three companies re
ported mey had to reel or prepare their
hose for the next Are alarm before they
could dry them.
The subject of bridges across our
public streets or alleys was discusseo,
and their handicapping efficient work
when fires occur near them. The ac
tive firemen of the city were very much
worried by the parking of automobiles
on both sides of parts of Third, Wal
nut and Fourth streets: as with trolley
cars moving over those streets there is
no space left for fire apparatus to pass,
when called out by five alarms. There
have been some very narrow escapes
on this account, in addition to delays in
reaching points where the call had gone
out.
There is much gratification that the
o\erhead wires in the congested paris
of the city are being gradually remov
ed. The companies art? beginning to
make preparations for the great fire
men's parade in Harrisburg. Thursday.
May .1, 1917, by which time it is expect
ed that all the fire apparatus will have
been motorized.

OCR LIBRARY TABLE
The Wall Street Girl, by Frederick
Orin Br.rtlett. (Houghton Mifflin Co-
Boston, $1.35 net.)
The story is woven from an old
theme, based on the mystical power of
love in ■working out the man's salva
tion through the girl's inspiration. It
is none the less an absorbing love
story, the sort of book that one does
not put away until finished. The so
cial butterfly, pampered and hope
lessly impractical, imprisoned in a
gilded cage so tar as knowledge of
real living is concerned, is engaged to
the man of infinite possibilities, who
has had everything he wants till his
father dies leaving a will which tics
up the property and throws the son on
his own resources. He looks for a job
and is guided along the proper busi
ness lines by the capable stenographer
who enters the story.
She is a girl of the Emma McChes
ney type, and is best described by sug
gesting that Ethel Barrymore could
best impersonate her on the stage.
Straight as a die. with an intensely
lovable character that necessity has
concealed under a businesslike exter
ior, she looks after the young man
and, of course, the book reaches a sat
isfactory conclusion. Lack of original
ity is the only drawback, but one can
not expect to eat his cake and have it,
too.
LITERARY NOTES
The question of literary censorship
has been brought before the Authors'
League of America through the at
tempted suppression of Theodore
Dreiser's book, "The Genius," by the
New York Society for the Suppres
sion of Vice. This body has demanded
that the-plates and all existing copies
be destroyed. The book has been out
ten months and the author contends
that in all that time no criticism has
been produced condemning the book
aa "lewd and obscene" aa the vice so
ciety alleges. Mr. Dreiser "fears for
ihe ultimate Intelligence of America."
"A band of wasp-like censors has ap
peared and is attempting to put the
quietus on our literature which Is at
last showing signs of breaking the
bonds of Puritanism under which It
has so long struggled in vain," he says.

ped Wings," "The Thirteenth Com

New York State League Leader
Looks For Profitable
Season Next Year
J. H. FARREU.
Outside of Syracuse no team in the
New York State League quit the sea
son with a profit. Some of the club
owners broke even, while others lost
money. Because of the poor season
several of the owners are anxious to
quit. However, present indications
are that the circuit as it now stands
will continuo and that there will be
a reoreanization early in January. Of
course any club owner will sell if he
gets his price, according to reports.
President J. 11. Farrell does not
want to see any further changes.
may be one more new Pennsylvania
town added, as Williamsport is bid
ding for a franchise. If there is an
indication of prosperity throughout
the country other towns may try to
get into the Farrell circuit according
to present indications. President Far
rell believes that prospects for a great
season next year are bright. Ho has
made a trip over the circuit and talked
with business men. He says:
Outlook Is Rosy
"The attendance for 1916 surpassed
•that of 1915 very materially. The
May and June schedule was interfer
ed with by a succession of rain post
ponements; but nine full days' sched
ule being played during- the entire
month of June. August, as usual, was
the banner month of the playing sea
son.
"The transfer of the Troy and Al
bany clubs to Harrisburg and Reading
substantially strengthened and added
vigor to the circuit. The playing vital
ity of the league was never more
equalized. During July, the tail-end
Harrisburg club took the big half of
its respective series from a majority
of clubs.
"The league has. during the past
month, experienced the unique dis
tinction of two of its second division
cities outdrawing the first division
teams without exception. The attend
ance in the two baby members of the
circuit, Harrisburg and Reading, has
been more than up to expectations un
der the circumstances. The citizens
of Harrisburg have supported the
team admirably, while Reading, show
ing a 6.000 attendance on its first Sat
urday and practically repeating these
figures on Labor Day, although in sixth
place, has proven Itself a desirable ac
quisition to the circuit and bespeaks
volumes of the 1917 season.
"The prospects for 1917 are excep
tionally bright with a strong circuit."

Walt Mason's estimate of her: "There
used to be a foolish rumor that women
had no sense of humor, and can't in

joyous stories, among their other
charms and glories, have wit that's
worth the while. Her sense of humor'
fairly bubbles, and makes a guy for

debts; of all the cheerful books I
treasure, of all which give me endless
pleasure, her novels are my pets. The
fiction fans, in countless legions,
throughout all sane, enlightened re
gions, entranced, enraptured look,
when busy publishers are hinting
that they are now engaged in printing
another Rinehart book. That means
another round of laughter, without
distress or colic after, a tonic for the
mind, a solace for the soul that's
weary, a book to cheer the day that's
dreary, and ease the beastly grind."
Robert H. Davis, of Munsey's Maga
zine. relates in the May Bookman an
amusing conversation with Irvin Cobb
on the question of the latter's tremen
dolis literary production. Davis asked
Cobb, whose latest novel. "Old Judge
Priest." has just been published by the
George 11. Doran Company, why he
turned out fiction so rapidly. "My
boy," said the Paducali marvel, lift
ing all embargoes on confidences, "the
public is going to wake up some dav
and dismiss me. This Is too good to
be true. I propose to take it while
they are not looking, it's now or
never."
