CENTRAL HIGH TRAINS FOR HARD FOE—PFEFFER SHOWS BEST MOUND FORM
CENTRAL TRAINS
FOR BALTIMORE
Expect Hard Game and Vic
tory; Gardner Shows Well
at Guard
When Central High's eleven lines up
against Baltimore City College on Sat
urday some real football is due on the
scene. Although the Blue and Gray
team won from Baltimore, 38 to 0.
last year, it was on their home field
and .under the leadership of Captain
Harry Rote. Baltimore has been trav
eling at a fast clip since the opening
of this season, humbling Conway Hall
recently to the tune of 6 to 2.
However, Central's chances for win
ning on Saturday are far above their
opponents'. Only one team was able
to beat Central last year, that being
Lancaster High. This season Central
beat Lancaster, 6 to 0.
Central at Johnstown
The game at Johnstown last Satur
day was nothing short of miraculous.
Considering the way Central held the
heavy Johnstown High team, local
football fans expect the downfall of
Baltimore City College, funeral to be
held Saturday next. On October 21
Stevens Trade School, of Lancaster,
will play Captain Hilton and his
charges at Island Park.
Gardner has been playing a good
gaino as guard and will likely be given
a permanent berth on the varsity.
Frank is playing a great game, he be
ing even better than last year. The
probable line-up against Baltimore will
be: Herring and Eldrldge, ends; Frank
and Mart, tackles; Gardner and Roe
der, guards; Good, center; Wolfe,
quarterback; Hilton and Gregory, half
backs; Fields, fullback.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TOXEGRAPH! OCTOBER 11 1916.
PFEFFER GIVES BEST MOUND EXHIBITION
Brooklyn, Oct. fl. There was Just
as much difference between the pltch-
ing yesterday and that of Monday as
there is between sun up and sun down.
In the second game in Boston Ruth
and Smith battled through fourteen in
nings of super pitching with all the
skill of seasoned veterans, but to-day
Jack Coombs and Caii Mays had to
quit under the fire and of the two
who succeeded them Big Jeff Pfeffer
worked to much better advantage than
did George Foster.
The cold brisk wind which swept
over the Held chilling the spectators
and causing the utility players to bun
dle up in great coats and sweaters
may have had something- to do with
the ineffectiveness of Coombs and
Mays, and then again the change of
facing two right-handers after looking
at the speedy southpaw deliveries of
Ruth and Smith the day before may
have been the needed tonic the two
clubs needed to slit open their batting
optics.
Jeff Had the Goods
Of the four men who mounted the
mound Pfeffer gave the best exhibition.
He succeeded Coombs in the seventh
after Larry Gardner had deposited his
long home run over the right field
palings and every man of the Sox he
pitched to after that went down in or
der. He faced eight and only three sot
the ball out of the infield, all going out
on flies.
Coombs* inability to come through
after having a four-run lead cast a
gloom oil the big delegation of Phlla
delphians who came here to-day to
see the opener in this borough and in
cidentally figuring upon seeing Coombs
pitch. While Jack was not batted to
all corners of the lot, the Sox only
nicking him for seven hits during his
stay, nevertheless they met nearly
every ball hard and the veteran of the
Athletics and the adviser of Robinson
probably figured K© was going to
lose tho game for the Dodgers if he
stayed in much longer after Gardner
bad located him for the home run in
the seventh.
It was not a case of Robinson taking
out Coombs. After that four-ply cir
cuit wallop by the Sox third sacker
Jack simply waved his hand to Pfef
fer, who was warming up in center
field, and as Big Jeff came hurrying in,
Jack simply tossed the ball over to
him and walked to the bench. In
asmuch as Pfeffer put an effectual stop
to the American Leaguers' hitting
Coombs' wisdom in quitting at the crit
ical moment probably saved the Dodg
ers from defeat.
"PEP" AT PENS STATE
State College, Pa., Oct. 11.—A little
of the old-fashioned football weather
put a snap into the scrimmage of the
Penn State eleven yesterday, when the
freshmen lined up against them. The
first-year men by determined plunging
kept the ball well in the territory of
the regulars, who had a hard time
keeping from being scored on. Kraft
and O'Donnell, who are fighting it out
for the varsity left guard position,
were both In the game. The former
seemed to have the edge on his oppon
ent. Ochsenreiter, kicking for the
freshmen, outpunted Hess, and play
edj a first-class defensive and offensive
game.

HUDSON'S TRIUMPH
REMARKABLE ONE
Record Trip Both Ways Across
Continent Shows Possibilities
and Advance of Motorcars
The Hudson Super-Six did a won
derful thing when it ran from San
Francisco to New York in five days
three hours and thirty-one minutes.
But it was a more marvelous accom
plishment when that same car turned
around and went back across the con
tinent and completed the round trip
in ten days twenty-one hours and
three minutes.
Up to last August the best one-way
time for any automobile was seven
days and eight hours. But the same
Hudson Super-Six has now made the
round trip in just two and a half days
longer time than was required for the
one-way trip in the beat record up to
August. The Hudson on its return
trip beat every previous transconti
nental record except its own. It had
a fair chance to do that up to the last
leg of the trip. On the going trip the
distance from San Francisco to Elko,
Nevada, was made in 20% hours. On
account of rains In the Sierra Nevada
mountains, thirty-live hours were re
quired on the return trip to negotiate
that distance. The car was l'i hours
ahead of its schedule when It reached
Elko. But as it took fifteen hours
longer to finish the laßt COO miles than
we required in making those same COO
miles In the going trip, it was unable
to break its own record. Still it ar
rived back in San Francisco in fifty
seven minutes less time ihan any other
ear that ever made the transconti
nental run.
One does not have to be the "oldest
inhabitant" to recall the year when
a fast railroad train trying for a mail
contract took six days to cross tl '■ con
tinent. Anything less than six days in
a journey by rail from coast to coast
was worth mention in the news col
umns. But a few years ago it was
worth a first page announcement
when an automobile turlng party was
able to report, no matter In how many
days, that it made the full distance
unaided.
The transcontinental run of the
Hudson Super-Six marks a new mile
stone in civilization's progress. The
run from San Francisco to New York
and return is a most marvelous record.
No automobile ever before attempted
the round trip against time. The Hud
son Super-Six set out to establish a
record for endurance. Every tdst it
has entered it has won. It was not
that records were desired to allow
speed, but that proof was sought in
dicating that tbe Super-Six, by rea
son of its exclusively controlled and
patented motor, so reduced vibration
that a new standard of motor endur
ance has been established by It. Speed
proves endurance to a motor just as
it shows the endurance of a man.
Continuous fast running produces the
same fatigue to machinery as it does
to a man. So by tests on the speed
way, when the Super-Six was driven
1,819 miles in twenty-four hours—s2
per cent, further than any other trav
eling machine ever went In that time
—we were able to crowd punishment
into that short time exceeding any
thing like years of service would im
pose upon the car.
It is 3,476 miles from San Franci&co
to New York. In the going trip the
Super-Six averaged 28.14 miles per
hour. This included all stops and the
slowing down to the speed require
ments of more than 350 cities, towns
and villages. The return trip, for the
reasons already stated, was not so fast.
But counting all stops from the time
the car left San Francisco until it re
turned, it traveled 7,952 miles at the
rate of approximately 700 miles a day.
By a single invention the Super-Six
patented motor which Hudson exclu
sively controls was this speed made
possible. Science produced that motor
out of the Hudson engineering staff.
Science brought the motorcar up to
its present point of reliability. Finely
tempered steel and other metals, it is
true, made possible the remarkable
run of the Super-Six. But these were
available also to all cars. It was the
Super-Six patented motor which has
increased the efficiency of the auto
mobilo to the extent shown in this
remarkable round trip across the con
tinent.
Gasoline is the great magician that
makes possible miracles undreamed of
wherf tho Arabian Nights were made
so entrancing by man's imaginative
powers. Tribute must be paid to the
Ingenuity of man that has developed
that magician. But greater tribute
must be paid to the higher refinements
of mechanical and chemical skill
which combined find expression in
the Hudson Super-Six to the extent
of making possible its great perform
ances and thus point to the possibili
ties of motorcar development.
Such performances as have been
shown by the Super-Six set the world
to thinking. They open new channels
of thought about our country. Where
the automobile has proved in such a
startling way how it links the country
to the city, the Super-Six proves how
to link coast to coast. Through the
development of gasoline and me
chanical development as has been
shown in the Super-Six it has laced
together the great wastes of spaces
of the United States.

hours and be pushed about by a crowd.
Combfortable seats add to the enjoy
ment of the exhibition. There is
nothing lacking in details at the Board
of Trade. Manager Ritter will con
tinue until the series is decided.

connecting eighteen circuits so
that one sending from the park de
livered the descriptive play to 400
offices. This involved a total of
26,000 miles of telegraph wires, all
operated and controlled by the
