HARRISBURG ACADEMY STARTS FOOTBALL TO-MORROW
TECH PLAYERS TO
QUIT FOOTBALL
Mcll and Phillipolli Leave the
Squad on Request From
Parents
Candidates for the Tech football
team are being put Into shape for the
opening game to be played on the
island to-morrow when Coach Miller
will bring: his Lebanon High school
team to the city to open the Maroon
schedule.
The aggregation opened the
season in last Saturday by
walloping: the Annville High scihool
squad by a 72 to 0 score. When Tech
met its opponent In Lebanon last sea
son the contest was played In a down
pour of rain that made good football
impossible. As a result the locals !
were nosed out by one touchdown.
Two years ago on the Island. Tech i
made a cleanup of the Dutch lead by
Hobey Light, who is now one of the j
stars on the University of Pennsylvania |
eleven. Light at that time played the i
star game for his team.
Tech followers have heard with re- !
gret that the squad will be deprived of !
the services of Mell. who played a
b&ckfleld position last season, and wbo ;
had been a candidate for an end posi- !
tton. His parents have objected to his
playing. The freshman Phillipelll has :
also quit because of parental objec- I
tton. This lad showed lots of pep In ■
the fiacktleld and stood good chances
of making the squad.
Lew Ritter Official Umpire;
to Assist in World's Series
With all the scoreboard competition
last year. Lew Hitter, the local veteran
catcher with his electric board had the I
record crowds. He Introduces features!
In the way of practice exhibition not I
given on other boards. Aside from this !
fact, every play made is understood
and Is given in less tiian one minute
after it is performed on the baseball 1
field.
Catcher Ritter has a happy faculty j
of telling interesting bits about the \
players. He knows them all. and as)
they come to the bat he introduces
them with a little bit of comedy. I
Those who witnessed the electric board
series last year, and then read the j
story of the games In the daily pa
pers, were loud in their praises for its
accuracy.
With every important detail, even!
to a muffed foul ball, or a foul fly into,
the bleachers will be given at the 1
Board of Trade building. The series]
starts to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock
and will be played daily except Sun- j
day. No reserved seats. Everybody '
who buys a ticket will see the game!

I One National League magnate doesj
not intend to permit the McGraw inci
dent to pass into history without some
utlicial action. Acording to a re
port to-day he will have the National)
Commission take up the matter to
morrow at Boston. He also makes
the announcement that the National!
officials will hand out punishment
after a hearing.
Muggsv McGraw was in hiding yes
terday. Dispatches from New York
varied as to the cause of his sudden
disappearance from public view, one
paper had it that McGraw was keep
ing awav from a crowd of fans who,
were anxious to present hini with a
set of Shakespeare's works. Another
sport writer said he was sleeping off
his grouch. Those who know McGraw
are predicting that he will shortly :
cocae to the front with a statement I
that will cause more commotion.
When the umpires call the game at i
Boston to-morrow, right in the front,
row will be a number of Harrisburg
ers. There has not been a world's 1
series in 10 years without local fans
in attendance. When the teams
come over to New York there will be
quite a crowd of local enthusiasts. At :
least 20 will keep going with the two
teams, having secured tickets; while!'
many will take in the Brooklyn games, !!
mostly railroaders who get transporta- !
tion free. |<
Lafayette Stars Return;
Play Against Swarthmore
Easton, Pa., Oct. 6.—The opening of
Lafayette College on Monday last In
creased the number of candidates out
for the football team until It has reach
ed a number well over fifty, all of
whom have worked hard and diligently
in various squads this week. Weldon,
the star fullback of the Lafayette team,
did not return In time to go through
the preliminary season with the rest of
the team, and hence in the game with
Fordham on Saturday, it was on this
account largely that Lafayette's for
ward passes were almost a total fail
ure. but one out of seventeen being
successful. Weldon. however, has put
In a week of very serious effort and
his game has come up to its accustomed
high standard.
Overton, who has played for three
years on the scrub team, has come In
to his own as center on the varsity
and is likely to take a permanent place
In long string of center
men.
After two years of absence, Charles
Marvin Pardee has returned to his place
at the end of the varsity line. He left
this place in the first game of the
1914 season when a dislocated hip put
him out for the rest of the season.
Tomorrow afternoon, the Maroon and
White tfam will meet Swarthmore. The
little Quaker college has, for years,
been one of Lafayette's strongest ri
vals. The fact that Lafayette's coach.
Wllmer G. Crowell, was one of the
greatest star that Swarthmore ever
had, always adds a touch of interest
to the contest.

The name of John J. McGraw, man* I
su?er of <he N'ew York Giants, will now
go down in baseball history just about
as far as that of any other man. His

league record. It won twenty-six con
secutive frames. The previous record,
held by the old Providence team of
the National league, was twenty con- i
secutive games. He also won proml- ;
nence because of his attack on his i
players in Tuesday's game.

National League Magnate
Claims His Punishment
Will Come
New York, Oct. 6.—The National
League will act on the accusation of
John J. McGraw that the Giants "laid
down" in the crucial game of the
Brooklyn series. McGraw will be
reprimanded officially by the National
League.
This has not been announced by the
league, but one National League mag
nate has declared that this is the pro
gram, despite the announcement made
by John K. Tenor that no notice would
bo taken of tho implied charges. The
outburst of McGraw. while it was not
taken up at any set baseball meeting,
has been the topic of more conver
sation among the magnates than the
coming world's series.
Whatever the olHcials of the league
may say, it is certain that McGraw is
!o bfc disciplined. Whether or not the
kittle Napoleon will submit to this re
mains to be seen.
I It is planned to make the disciplin
ing as mild as possible, if he Is willing
; to turn the other cheek and accept the
| chastisement, but should McGraw come
I before the league in a belligerent atti
tude. something more serious may re
sult.
This is not the only issue which Is
upsetting official basebulldom on the
I eve of the series. The statement of Ban
Johnson in regard to the McGraw
matter has aroused the ire of the Na
tional League magnates. Johnson said
picturesquely and potently: "If this
had happened In tho American League
there would be hell to pay."
Tho National league magnates im
plied that Mr. Johnson had plenty of
I soiled linen to cleanse in his own
league before he came butting into the
j laundry of tho National League to
! raise "gehenna." Thus McGraw has
not only disrupted the Giants for the
time being, but he has also sanded
the smoothly running gears of the
national commission, which always
gathered for a little close harmony
around world's series time.
Yale Favors New Plan For
Cutting Down Coaching Bills
I New Haven, Conn., Oct. 6. The
movement to abolish the system of
athletic coaching by highly paid ex
perts took definite form here to-day
j with tilt, publication of the report of
' the special committee in charge of
| Yale athletics.
This report, signed by Robert N.
i Oorwin as chairman of the commit
tee, asserts that "unless Yale can
from her own resources, graduate and
undergraduate, develop her teams
| without such artificial stimulants so
I that she can reasonably compete with
I her rivals, it would he best to elimin
ate intercollegiate athletics altogether
|tin'il tho dawn of an era of reason
ableness In such things."
The committee declares that the
| budget for Yale football coaching for
| one year alone is considerable and
j this money Is expended in the em
ployment of a small number of men
j for only a few weeks, while the ex
, penses of the coaching of the crew
I are proportionately large.
