LONGDISTANCE
FIGHT FOR WELSH
To Battle Ninety-Nine Rounds
With Charley White Is
Present Dope
New York, Sept. 25.—Freddie "Welsh
Charlie White are virtually
matched for a nlnety-nlne-round flgrht,
to take place at the Tia Juana race
vack on Thanksgiving Day.
Nate Lewis has accepted for Charlie
White, and Harry Pollok, manager for
Welsh, Is quoted as saying that Freddie
">4ll be ready for the long-distance
Waltz, provided Promotor Jim Coftroth,
of California, will come through with
the necessary guarantee.
The Tia Juana racetrack, where It is
proposed to hold the bout. Is across
the Mexican line in Lower California.
There is no rule against finish fights
in that section of the world and Coft
roth claims that he has the sanction
of the authorities to hold bouts of a
week's duration if he sees fit.
May Stop Fight
The only chance of the battle being
stopped is that Francisco Villa may
be shocked at the brutality of a long
fight involving Freddie Welsh and raid
Tia Juana in order to stop it.
Welsh, it is known, is confident that
he is White's master in any kind of a
battle. He believes that he can knock
out the lead-footed Chlcagoan In one
of long C u ration.
Baron Long, who will be associated
with Jom Coffroth in the promotion of
the fight, has suggested tbat the men
wear smaller gloves than the regular
mits and that the referee remain out
of the ring. To this proposal neither
fighter har. yet assented.
"Welsh will fight White any number
of rounds," Pollok is quoted as saying.
"As soon as Coffroth posts some money
as evidence of good faith, Welsh will
sign up. White couldn't hit the cham
pion with a handful of shot. Any kind
of gloves will do."

MONDAY EVENING,
i By Col. Bogey
, A graveyard tournament held on
the Reservoir links Saturday under
the auspices of the Harrlsburg Park
Golf Club resulted in a victory for
Chris H- Sauers. He and "Tommy"
Devine both completed their eigh
teen holes and were on the way to
the 19th when they used up their
allotment of strokes and died on the
fairway. McClure and Souders, third
and fourth respectively, made their
final resting place on the eighteenth
green, the former having planted his
flag directly in the hole. Souders
was one foot from the pin, and C. R.
Hinckley not two Inches away from
Souders. It was the most successful
and exciting one-day tournament ever
pulled off on the Reservoir links, in
the opinion of Professional Stewart
McEwan.
W. F. Warlow was accredited with
being the winner of the "booby" prize
but a later account showed that two
other men had beaten him out for the
position farthest from the eighteenth
green.
C. E. Zimmerman, city champion,
finally won the season handicap, de
feating from scratch Helkle and J.
D. Smith. This Is the first time a
scratch man has won this cup since
E. Hoover Bankard, now secretary of
the Western Golf Association, did the
tricks about seven years ago.
Frank G. Roth beat Albert A.
Wert Saturday in the final of the Fall
Handicap consolation event.
The Lancaster Golf Team defeated
the Harrisburg Country Club team on
the latter's links Saturday by the over
whelming score of 11 to 5. Robert
McCreath, Berne Evans, Stackpole,
Forsythe and Kiester were the win
ners for the local team and
Franklin, Donald Brown, W. L.
Brown, McGowan, Herr, Baer, Smith,
Maxwell, Cummings, Carpenter, and
Wickersham carried off the honors for
the visitors. The two teams will again
meet on October 21 at Lancaster for
a return match. Next Saturday the
York Country Club will play the Har
risburg Country Club, here.
The most closely contested match
of Saturday's play at the Harrisburg
Country Club, aside from that be
tween the two captains, McCreath
and Hiemenz, was the match between
Herman and Wickersham, which was
carried to the twentieth green before
it was decided in favor of the Lan
caster man.
The longest match on record is now
in progress in the Fred B. Harry cup
tournament at Reservoir. G. W "Vint
and N. H. Greenawalt played eighteen
holes last Thurday and tied; they
played eighteen holes more on Satur
day and were still even up. Pretty
soon they will meet again to try and
reach a conclusion. "When Greek
meets Greek."

WEEK'S RESULTS
Phillies Look Strong, but the
Dodgers Are Leading Now;
Some Probabilities
Philadelphia, Sept. 25. —Nine points
—one game and a half—that is the
gap between local fandom and happi
ness this twenty-fifth day of Septem
ber, Anno Domini 1916. Ter( days of
baseball must see this chasm bridged
by the minions of Moran, else it will
be a hard winter for all office boys
whose bosses prophesied another pen
nant for the historic old ball yard on
the Hump.
The week-end usually finds hope In
a flourishing condition in local breasts.
Last Monday morn memories of a Sat
urday'a double victory over the shat
tered Cubs made Nature smile o'er this
fair burg, with Brooklyn a game and a
half ahead. The past week's develop
ments failed to lessen this lead, yet at
the start of next to the last week of
play the atmosphere locally has a de
cidedly rosy tinge.
The heroic feats of Demaree and
Alexander made pitching history, and
with Brooklyn fighting tooth and claw
with the Cubs, much may develop in
the next couple of days. Dodgers and
Windy City men play double-headers
to-day and to-morrow, while single
games are booked for the Phils the
same days. Then comes the most
crucial of all the crucial series, Brook
lyn versus Philadelphia, loser to be
shot at sunrise. The North American
says:
How Phillies Can Win
"But three more days remain before
Brooklyn and the Phillies clash in the
three-game series that will probably
decide the National League pennant
"If Brooklyn wins Ave of its remain
ing games, the Phils must win seven
to get the pennant.
"If Brooklyn wins six. the Phils
must win eight.
"If Brooklyn wins seven, the Phils
must win nine.
"If Brooklyn wins eight, the Phils
must win ten.
"If the Dodgers can win only two
from the Cubs, one from the Phillies
and two from the Giants, the Phils can
win by taking the remaining two from
Cincinnati, two from the Dodgers and
two out of six with Boston.
"If the Dodgers take three from the
Cubs, one from the Phils and two from
New York, the Phils can win by taking
two from Cincinnati, two from Brook
lyn and four from Boston.
"Brooklyn has a chance of picking
up one full game by winning four from
Chicago while the Phils are winning
two from Cincinnati. Then the series
would start Thursday with the Dodg
ers 2% games ahead. A clean-up for
either team In Brooklyn will about
decide it.
"The Phillies could drop one of the
games to Cincinnati, two to Brooklyn,
and still win the flag, providing it
could make a clean yveep of the six
Boston games and Brooklyn lost two
in Chicago, one to Philadelphia and
two to New York."

Too Early to Tell Whether
Potatoes Will Be High
Wholesale and retail produce deal
ers in the city to-day said that it was
too early in the season to predict
whether there would he a scarcity of
potatoes and an increase in price
Reports in some of the eastern cities
received here to-day stated that deal
ers expect $2 a bushel to prev&Jl by
winter, but Harrlsburg dealers de
clared that tliey would nt attempt to
tell the price so far in advance.
"They may be $2, or tbey may only
be 75 cents a bushel," one of the big
wholesale produce men said to-day.
"The crops In New York and other
big potato growing States are doubt
ful, but it is too early to tell whether
potatoes will Increase in price. Prices
on the present supply have Increased
slightly but there is no indication of a
big Jump."

over third base which rolled under the
screen in far left field. The drive went

wildness, pitched great ball, as did

arrested and is being held pending an
investigation of his mental condition
When arraigned in police court for
the destruction of the trees, Vizinni
merely stated that he wanted the
pears, that he couldn't climb the trees
to get them, so he decided to bring
the fruit in reach by cutting down the
trees.

ing- gives Boston a tight grip on the
American League race. It looks very
much like the elimination of Chicago.
They will have to win six straight to
make any kind of showing. The Red
Sox have a three-and-a-half-game
lead.
Philadelphia is coming strong as a
pennant winner. Saturday the Phils
took two games from Cincinnati.
Brooklyn split even. Local fans are
rooting hard for Pat Moran's team.
If the two eastern teams battle for
the World's honors this city will as
usual be largely represented at the
games.
Howard Ehmke, the Syracuse twirl
er won his third game for the Tigers
yesterday, defeating Washington,
score 6 to 5. He beat Walter John
son keeping his 10 hits well scattered.
Upper end post-seeason games have
been called off. Marysville failed to
show up at Wllliamstown because
they had no pitcher. Many fans were
disappointed as the postponement was
not made known until after the crowd
had reached the field. All othen

Umpire Brown, of the Three I
League, has ideas beyond calling balls
and strikes. Because of the poor fin
ancial condition of the league— and
the story is that most of the minora
are—he has made a suggestion that
all receipts be pooled lyid divided be
tween the clubs of the circuit equally.
This, he thinks, would pull the weak
sisters through. The suggestion has
been made before, and in spite of the
fact that it is a good one, greedy club
owners have blocked it from being
enforced.
In case of the world's series belnff
between Eastern clubs, the procedure
will be two successive games In each
town, with no idle days except Sun
day, and the series probably will be
gin on Friday October 6.
In case the east and west hook up,
it is probable that the series will open
in Detroit or Chicago, as the case
may be on Saturday, October 7, so as
to have a Sunday game in the west.
Monday would be skipped, and the
series resumed in the east on Tuesday
for a three-game stretch in the east
ern city.
