The local ! gridiron season opens to-day, when | Glenn Warner's proteges face the | Westminster College eleven at Forbes i Field. A preliminary game will bo played betwofcn the Pitt Freshmen and East Liberty Academy. The var sity engagement will give dopesters a , chance to compare the Pittsburgh and Penn State teams, as the Center Countains played Westminster Just a j week ago. Last year's meeting re- j suited in a 32-0 victory for the Blue ' and Gold, and Captain Peck's men j are anxious to surpass this score, if possible. However, the Westminster bunch is likely to keep the locals busy j at all stages, as they will have the advantage of having played a game or two, while this Is the Pittsburghers' first match of the year. The Pittites will open the season in good condition, and should bte as well-trained as any of their rivals. JOHN* A. SHKAFFER DIES Mechanicsburg, Pa., Oct. 7. John A.

STOCK EFFECT I Prices Yield Despite Authorita tive Denials of Impending Peace Negotiations New York, Oct. 7.—The influence of j gossip or ru'mor as a market factor: was forcibly illustrated during to-day's short session, prices again yielding, ! though only temporarily, despite the! issuance of numerous authoritative j denials of impending peace negotia- ' tions. At the outset there were many sub stantial recoveries, followed by a quick j reversal on heavy selling, largely from the trading element. Recessions of 1 to 3 points occurred on this move- | mont, the first hour's trading amount- I ing to 400,000 shares. At no time, ! however, was there any serious unset- ; tlement or important liquidation. Gen- ! eral. and in some instances more than ! complete, recoveries were effected on the reduced and more orderly dealings of the final hour. The closing was strong. Bonds were irregular.

BELIEVE COLLEAGUES ARE "JOLLYING" GROSS for second reading the discovery was made that the balance which Mr. Gross thought he could use had already been provided for in the budget 'way back j In December. Mr. Gross and Mr. Bowman locked horns, figuratively speaking, when the | whole matter was threshed out last Monday in an executive councilmanic i conference. Withdrawal of the ordi- , nance by Mr. Gross followed—without j comment to ruffle the oily smoothness of the councilmanic procedure. Jollying Mr. Gross Then it developed that Commissioner Gross, in the opinion of municipal ' circles, has been jollied along with the belief that he is to have the balance of $2,200 in the $55,000 fund set aside a year or two ago to pay the city's share of the cost of paving half of Front street north of Maclay. The money, it is said, is available / and of late Mr. Gross has been ten tatively offered it; whether or not Coiircilmen are only teasing him is a matter of conjecture. Since It has be come known that the $2,200 In hiding for a long time has been brought to light, rumors have been persistently current in city circles that Commis- j sionet Lynch is now "running a little shy on street repair work, etc," And j the natural inference is that Mr. Gross i will he kidded acmlrs. All of which recalls to the memory! of city officials who knew anything 1 about the preparation of the 1916 I budget how ex-Commissioner M. Har- I vey Taylor, Gross' predecessor, had tried 10 obtain several thousands more : for maintenance work. When Mr. Tay- j > lor had other Counollmen practically I convinced. Mr. Cross threw a wrench |ln the wheels, figuratively speaking, I wilh this observation: ! "Well, if 1 can't get this additional ; money, why I guess we'll get along on what we have." Inclement weather has held up a lot j of the park work, it was admitted, but I even at that city circles generally have I wondered for months why Park Com- | i missioner Gross has not bent some of : ! his own energies toward getting some \ | of the necessary work j No efforts have even been made to prevent the ruthless destruction of shrubbery on the slopes of the river | front or to guard the steps and river wall from the stones of young vandals. , Planting the Rlvor Slopes One important improvement that j was accomplished along the river front this year, however, was the filling In with some 2,700 yards of earth south of Walnut street and the planting of the new "fill" with grass and grain. ■ j The scheme was worked out. however, by Assistant Superintendent Forrer. While City Forester Gipple has made all the showing an official ■w'ith- j out a cent to spend could be expected 1 to make, the failure of the park de- ! partment to give some urgent attention j to trees throughout Harrlsburg has been a matter of comment. Council j provided Mr. Ginple a position, gave j him a salary of SI,OOO with a tentative nromlse, of course, of an Increase If | he "made good"—and then didn't give him a cent for running expenses with 1 which to make good. Lack of funds ! to even try to make a showing outside of census taking, nursery work and some tree work in the parks has been a subject for some quiet cussing on the I forester's part, it Is said. , The Kxpcn.se Problems Against Mr. Gross' extraordinary demand for additional money to com plete this year's operating expense city officials compare what was done by the Park Commissioner's predecessor. Park Commissioner Gross frequently nolnted out that he received $3,000 less for maintenance this year than did Mr. Taylor last year. This has been more than made up, however, by the fact that Mr. Taylor spent $2,000 o#j the city forestry department, built new bridges, made other permanent im provements and turned back as a bal % . nnce at the end of the year something* more than S9OO. ' At the close of 1914 Mr. Taylor turned In a still greater balance—some . i 2.127. NEW RECORDS ON YORK RACE TRACK j Hal B. Jr., Is Hero in Final Program; Five Heats to De j . cide Race Event York, Pa., Oct. 7. Three times | within a single afternoon race en | thusiasts at" the fair went wild yes ' terday as figures were hung out from the judges' stand announcing that the : track record had been broken. It ; was a remarkable windup for the greatest of York Fairs. Hal 8., Jr., was the hero of the day. Three times this swift son of Hal B. set up a mark over the half mile oval that was better than the best previous record, and each time bettered his own previous perform ance. Exall left the track record at 2.07%, in 1913; Hal 8., Jr., reduced this to 2.06% In the first heat of the free-for-all. to 2.06 flat In the second heat and to 2.05% In the third. It was an exhibition of remarkably con sistent racing which won this coveted event, for his owner, W. Richardson, of Stratford, Ont. Four heats decided the 2.14 trot for Cora Davis, while the 2.25 pace outlasted daylight, and, after four heats, first money was awarded to Dexter on the strength of having won the first two heats. Amos Rathburn, of Syracuse, N. Y., trainer of a string of horses owned by ex-Governor White, of New York State, purchased Faros, a three-year old, from W. T. Bubb, of Melfa, Va.

Admission 25c Ix'w Ritter Manager TECH STARTS WITH LEBANON ELEVEN Unusual Interest Manifested in To-day'S Game Because of New Style of Football Tech High school eleven started the season this afternoon against Lebanon High school. Among those who will see service In the game, who have won honors for Tech In previous seasons will be Captain Harris, ex- Captain Miller, Fitzpatrick, Wear, Snyder, Lauster, Todd, Garman, Gip ple, Lloyd, and Philippelli. Large Cheer Crowd The Tech students held a mass meeting In the school auditorium yes- i terday afternoon and practiced cheers under the leadership of the newly appointed leaders. With the 250 freshmen, the cheering at Tech this season is expected to be better than ever. The Tech band was out in full force for the opening contest. Because of the new system of coaching Introduced at Tech with the coming of "Shorty" Miller and "Red" Pendergast, more than a usual amount of interest was centered in to-day's game. Those who have been following the developments of the eleven expect that the Maroon will be able to go through Its schedule with a better record than the team of two years ago, lead by Captain Beck. May Use Substitutes Because of the squad of 50 players who have been reporting every night the coaches have developed two and three players for each position, and most of them will be given a chance to show their ability in the Lebanon game. The kick-off will take place at three o'clock with Johnson, of Buck nell and Moffit of Penn State as the officials. The strength of the visitors was not underestimated, und the home players decided to take no chances. The players coached by "Stubby" Wilder the former Rochester and Lebanon Valley player opened their season last Saturday and won by an over whelming score. The Tech squad will be out for revenge for the 6 to 0 defeat sustained at Lebanon last year. Many Fans See Game at Board of Trade Building When the Boston Red Sox and the Brooklyn Dodgers clashed this after noon in the opening setto of the world's series in the Hub City, every move 01 the players and every play was report ed on the electric scoreboard at the Board of Trade Building. A direct wire from the Braves' field in Boston connected with the rear of the bin board flashed each detail of the classic struggle for the benefit of a large crowd of fans within a few seconds of their actual occurrence. The service will be continued until the end of the series. Lew Ritter, the former New York State League star, is looking after these games. It is the most realistic repro ductlon in the city. Rain checks are given in case of a postponement. CHURCH DEDICATION Waynesboro, Pa , Oct. 7.—To-mor row the enlarged Church of Christ will be dedicated with appropriate services. Prof. H. 9.
