SPORTS-FINAL GAMES IN MAJOR LEAGUE TO-DAY-SPORTS
FINAL GAME IS
WORKOUT BATTLE
Brooklyn Leader to Enter
World's Battles l or Fur
ther Honors
New York, Oct. s.—Wllbert Robin
son, manager of tho Brooklyn National
League club, will pit his regulars
against New York in the game in
Brooklyn this afternoon as a final
workout for the opening of the world's
series at Boston on Saturday.
"We are going to win and I think we
can do it," said Robinson. "Our team
has played good ball all season, and we
held the lead almost all the way
through, except for a day or two here
and there. We measure up to the Red
Sox, and with our team playing its
best ball right now there is no reason
why it can't win. We'll show the fans
some real playing. Marquard, Coombs,
Cheney, Pfeffer and Smith will show
them some pitching, and we are not
worrying."
"Rube" Marquard, who is reported
to have been selected to pitch the open
ing game for Brooklyn, said he was
In top form now and that Brooklyn is
going to win. "This team has nothing
to fear from Boston," he added. "We
measure right up to their standard in
every department and, believe me, wo
are going to trim them. All I hope is
that I can pitch the same sort of ball
that I have been pitching during the
last couple of weeks."
"We will be right at their throats
all the time," declared Jack Coombs.
"If any one believes Boston is going
to ride right over us he Is reckoning
without men of the stamp of Jake Dau
bert, Pfeffer, Marquard and Chief Mey
ers."
The first big wager here on the
world's series was announced to-day
when it was stated that E. E. Smath
ers, the owner of fast horses, had plac
ed $20,000 to $14,000 on the Boston
Americans to win. A number of small
er wagers at ten to six were reported.
It was announced that the four vim-'
pires chosen for the world's series
would meet in Boston to-day to agree
upon a uniform interpretation of rules.
The "infield fly" < is one point upon
which an agreement is desired, be
cause in the American League a runner
must hold his base on such a fly, while
in the National League he can run at
his own risk.

THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURO t/SB&b TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 5, 1916.
WELLYS S CORNER
Now that tho fuss over New York
Giants is all past baseball fans have
about decided that Brooklyn is the
best team, and that the Phillies could
not be counted on because of the ir
regular work of pitchers. A wide
spread opinion prevails that Brooklyn
will give Boston a harder light than
the Quakers.
If local fans have any intention of
seeing one of the World's series games
they will be disappointed according
to reports unless provisions have al
ready been made for tickets. Accord
ing to reports everything is sold both
In Brooklyn and Boston, and that the
only chance Is to get into' line on the
day of tho games and take a chance
with the bleaclierites.
News from Steelton that there will
be something like a real football team
this season is stirring enthusiasts.
While everybody enjoys the other
games it is the battles between Cen
tral, Tech and Steelton that draw the
big crowds and has the thrills. It is
WILSON'S CRITICS
RIGHT, SAYS TAFT
Adamson Act Sample of Uni
verse Subserviency; Mexico
Enough to Defeat Him
Trenton, N. J., Oct. 5. Declaring
that the campaign of 1016 is as im
portant as the campaign §f 1896 and
resembles that campaign in that the
Democratic party and its candidate are
seeking a vote of power for dlsln
-1 genuous. unsound, but alluring rea
son, William H. Taft, former Presl
-1 dent of the United States, delivered
I the opening address of the Republican
j State campaign here last night,
i Mr. Taft assailed the Democratic
; party's fiscal policy, its extravagance,
| its free trade tariff, its claim to credit
for prosperity and its foreign policy,
and he made a direct reply to Presi
dent Wilson's defense of his course in
settling the threatened railroad strike
through the enactment of the Adam
son Law.
Mexico Should Defeat Him
"Mr. Wilson's action in Mexico should
defeat him for Presidency. And now
Mr. Hughes is asked what he would
have done. He certainly would not
have done what Mr. Wilson did, and
what Mr. Wilson did Is reason enough
I for not allowing him to continue to
exercise the responsibility of attempt
ing to get out of the 'mess' Into which
he has brought the country.
Cite* YodllatlnK Course
"Mr. Wilson, as a publicist, wrote the
most effective argument in favor of the
representative system and against the
Initiative and referendum and the re
call; and then in his campaign for the
nomination and the election in 1912
he abandoned his former position and
announced a radical change In view up
on that subject.
Hughes Has Conrage
"Other Instances could be cited, but
these are certainly enough to justify
the conclusion that Mr. Wilson has few,
if any, opinions on the issues of the
day which exigency in tho field of
politics may not induce him to give
up. He generally pursues the wise
course of never explaining the reason
for his change. His facility in this
regard robs of special Importance his
public utterances as a basis for sup
porting him as a candidate.
"On the other hand. Mr. Hughes Is
a man whose avowed opinions have
always been the guide of his action. I
say what the people of the United
States know when I say that the chief
characteristic of Mr. Hughes Is the
courage*of his convictions in meeting
the embarrassment of political opposi
tion. He gives the reasons for the
faith that is in him. He argues out
his propositions, and ho does not de
pend upon mere facility of expression,
mere happiness of epigrammatic state
ment, mere graceful phasing of a
platitude to support his opinion. He
carries conviction by his speech to his
audience and he carries his own con
viction Into conduct. His strength be
fore the people and the Importance to
them of his utterances and promises
grow out of confidence that he is not
an opportunist and that no political
expediency will prevent his hewing to
the line and fighting to the last for. his
principles. It has been said that there
is little difference between Mr. Wilson
and Mr Hughes except that Mr. Wilson
has had the presidential experience.
This is as far as possible from the
fact. Having in view Mr. Wilson's
record on nearly every political ques
tion and Mr. Hughes' course as Gover
nor of New York, it would be difficult
to find among the public men of the
country, one who is less like Mr. Wil
son than Mr. Hughes."
Chicago Women Elaborately
Entertain Hughes Speakers
Chicago, Oct. s.—The Women's
Hughes Campaign party on Its arrival
here to-day found Chicago women pre
pared with an elaborate plan of en
tertainment. A reception committee
from the locjil organization met the
train at South Bend, Ind., and accom
panied the party to this city.
An automobile parade from the rail
way station to the hotel where the
certain that the local team will not

gart's squad.
The pungent aroma of the close fin
ish of tho National League pennant
race was not lessened by a bit of high
finance transacted yesterday at the
United Btates Subtrcasury. A dispatch
from Philadelphia says:
"Ed Reulbach, the Boston Braves'
Veteran pitcher, formerly a Chicago
Cub and less formerly a Brooklyn
Dodger poked three SI,OOO notes
through the window and received a
lot of hundreds, fifties, tens and fives
in return.
" 'Won it over in New York,' said
Reulbach last night. 'The money be
longs to, a Western man who wanted
me to bet it for him against the Phila
delphia club in the pennant race. He
doesn't want his name mentioned, so
I can't tell you who he is. I got
the money changed for him and he
bought cigars for the boys, and that's
all. The money doesn't belong to me
and none of our boys put up any of
i it." "
party is to be entertained was the In
itial feature of the program and ia to
be followed by a luncheon to which
750 prominent clubwomen from all
sections of the State are invited guests.
Street meetings are to close the
day's program for the party, after
which the members are to attend a
Republican rally at which former
United States Senator A. J. Beveridge,
of Indiana, is to be the chief speaker.
O'Leary Comes Back at
Wilson in Another Letter
Chicago, Oct. s.—Jeremiah A.
O'Leary, president of the American
Truth Society, again scored President
Wilson in a statement issued in answer
to the President's curt telegram to
him scorning what he cilled the "dis
loyal vote."
O'Leary said he had sent the follow
ing telegram to President Wilson:
"In your telegram of yesterday you
have evaded every question that I
raised. In acting thus, you have fol
lowed your usual method of carrying
on a controversy with an opponent.
Now you seek, by an indirect charge
of disloyalty, a charge which you dared
not directly make, to escape the ques
tions which you cannot answer.
"I challenge comparison also by
heredity and environment of my life
and antecedents with yours. While
three of my uncles were dying in de
fense of the Union, those of your kin
who dared to fight, were struggling to
destroy It."
T. R. PHOTO STILL OJf
Lansing, Mich., Oct. 6.—Although
Theodore Roosevelt is no
sidered a member of the National Pro
gressive party, his picture will adorn
the Progressive column of the general
election ballot in Michigan this Fall.
Tne Roosevelt vignette appeared on the
ballot four years ago and the secre
tary of state says he has no legal au
thority to have tho vignette removed.
Roosevelt to Try to Win
Border States For Hughes
New York, Oct. s.—Colonel Roose
velt Is going to invade the home of
his former Rough Riders and speak
at El Paso, Texas, It was announced.
The Itinerary so far is incomplete, but
it is known that it will include stops at
various border towns in the Southwest.
This drive in particular will be
aimed at Arizona and New Mexico,
which Republican campaign managers
believe can be carried for Hughes.
"No Accountability" Says
Roosevelt to Lane in
Answer to Note on Policy
Oyster Bay. N. Y., Oct. s.—Colonel
Roosevelt yesterday sent a letter to
Franklin K. Secretary of the In
terior, in reply to Lane's denial that
he had admitted that the note-sending
policy of the Wilson administration
had been a failure. In his Battle Creek
speech the Colonel quoted Secretary
Lane as saying this, and the Cabinet
officer quickly informed Roosevelt that
he had not expressed such sentiments.
In his denial Mr. Lane asserted that
by the note-sending policy the United
Slatet had "achieved the greatest
diplomatic triumph of a half-century."
and the Colonel uses this assertion as
a basis for an attack on the adminis
tration. The letter in part is as fol
lows:
"In February, 1915, in our first note,
we informed Germany that if her sub
marines caused the death of any of
our people by sinking ships on which
they were traveling that we would
hold her to 'strict accountability.' For
more than a year thereafter we con
tinued to write notes and the Ger
mans continued to sink ships on which
our citizens were traveling.
"They killed, all told, some 2,300
noncom bat ants, between one and two
hundred babies under two years of
age, fifty of whom were under one
year of age. There were several hun
dred women among the persons killed.
We did not hold Germany to 'strict
accountability.' We did not hold her
to any accountability, strict or loose.
For one year we permitted the kill
ings to go on unchecked.
"Within the last month we have
seen notices of several ships of neu
trals being torpedoed and sunk with
loss of life. It appears that the stop
page was primarily due to the fact
that the British by their vigorous pa
trol captured or destroyed most of the
submarines."
Baseball at Colonial

ATHLETE SMILES;
IS FACING DEATH
Penn Football Victim Has Dis
placed Vertebrae; Chances
For Recovery Slim
Philadelphia, Oct. 6.—With a smile
and words of cheer for physicians and
friends who are at his bedside, Wal
ter F. Waldeman, a 17-year-old fresh
man, who came from his home in
Vineland, N. J., ten days ago, to "make
good" on his class football team at
the University of Pennsylvania, is in a
'critical condition in tho Univorslty
Hospital.
Waldeman displaced a spinal verte
brae in his neck while tackling a
"dummy" during football practice on
Franklin Field Monday afternoon.
Sinco then he has been in a private
ward at the University Hospital with
special nurses and physicians in at
tendance.
Physicians have relieved the pres
sure of the displaced vertebrae on his
spinal cord. Paralysis, however, has
set in his legs and made his arms par
tially useless, and, although he is suf
fering no pain whatsoever, and is con
scious, it is feared that the paralysis
will extend to the walls of his dia
phram and make respiration impossi
ble.
Smiles Though Facing Death
Dr. Walter B. Hancock, attending
physician to Penn's football squad, ad
mitted last night that Waldeman's
condition was very grave. He said:
"Tuesday night his condition was
critical. To-day he rallied a bit, and,
while his pulse and respiration are
normal, he has a little fever. When I
left him to-night he was conscious.
He is a brave little fellow and doesn't
blame anybody for the accident. He
talks to his doctors and nurses quite
cheerily and tells his father, August
Waldeman, who is at his bedside, not
to worry. He is suffering no pain and
doesn't seem to realize his condition.
I cannot make any statement as to his
chances for recovery. His condition Is
very, very grave."

Seven of Last Year's Team
Back; Signal and Scrim

Football followers In Steelton are
looking for big things from the Steel

seven of last season's first team men
are back again.
Each afternoon Coaches Taggart
and Reagan have the squad of 25 men

man, McCftuley, Wren and the Wucs
chlnski brothers are scrapping it out

team, and is a heady player, Shaffer
and Sharosky are bidding for guard
honors, while Loy, a new man, is
showing up well in practice. Tackle
