PICK FORMER HARRISBURG PITCHER AS COMER—TECH PLAYS ACADEMY WOULD DIVIDE PENNANT RACE Two Seasons For State League Is Plan Under Con sideration Scranton. Pa., Oct. 19.—That one of the questions to be considered at the next meeting of the New York State League Is one Involving a division of iho championship seo.son Into two parts is the report coming from Now York state cities. Two clubs in that region are said to favor the plan, maintaining it will have a tendency to arouse most interest in the games, and that as a result the season will prove more successful. As yet the Scranton club has heard nothing officially about such a move, but Bill Coughlin says it will not sur prise him if such a proposition comes up. Personally, Bill is not a great booster for the plan, either, but even so thinks that if a majority of the magnates can be satisfied it will have a tendency to help conditions during the 1917 season it has a chance of be ing adopted. Nothing New in Baseball The plan to play the pennant race In two parts is nothing new in profes sional baseball, but hereabouts it has never been employed. In the leagues down South and in the Interstate and Lluo Ridge organizations it has usually been adopted. In some cases the sys tem worked out satisfactorily and in others it did not, but as a rule it ap pears as though tho idea has proved successful. More than the State League will con sider the plan of having a double pen nant season for next year. In the West it is already being considered, while no less a baseball official than Owner. Kuppert, of the New York Yankees, has also come out in its favor, putting himself on record as believing the plan might help matters materially in the major leagues. To Change Name of League Besides taking up tho two pennant race question it is also likely the State League owners will act on changing the name of the organization. Now the four Pennsylvania cities are repre sented as members, it seems certain that tho name New YoYk State League must be changed in such a way that Pennsylvania will have more to do with the league than simply assisting to a great extent in maintaining it. jZshby-ty'^Lexicon-itf*- IS ot*. each, e tor BO Ota.

With eight of last year's team in the line-up Coach Taggart's crew strengthened by Day hoff in the back field, should make the local aggregation work hard to win.

The Lafayette faculty met yesterday and discussed at length the problem raised by the death of a Princeton student from infantile paralysis and then passed a resolution permitting the players necessary to play the game to go to Princeton if Princeton still In sisted on playing the game on their own grounds, but prohibiting the other students at the college from attend ing the game. It was the desire of tTie raculty that the game be played in Easton and for that reason Dean Albert K. Heckel was sent with Coach Crowell to inter view the Princeton authorities with a view to transferring the game to March field. The mission was unsuc cessful.

A heaping dish of ice cream and some lemonade was all that Sidney Hatch ,of Chicago, a veteran amateur marathon runner, wanted after he finished his record breaking 95-mile run from Milwaukee to Chicago yesterday. Then, after a brisk rub-down, he went to bed for a 24-hour sleep. Officials of the Amateur Athletic Union declared that Hatch's perform ance probably was the most remark able in history. He covered the dis stance —95.7 miles—in 14 hours, 50 minutes and 30 seconds, beating the former record by four hours and seven minutes. ' Hatch finished the run at a dog trot, just as ho started In Milwaukee at 8 o'clock last night.

Harold White captain for the coming year. Captain White will immediately begin to work to develop a good team in this sport, which has heretofore been rather weak.

PRESIDENT TENER FAVORS CHANGES Increase Player Limit Is One Probability; Must Strengthen Teams New York, Oct. 19.—The National League must be strengthened, in the opinion of John K. Tener, its presi dent. Mr. Tener says he believed the twenty-one player limit has worked against the league In world's series games and that the limit will be In creased next year. "There is no use in the National League making any excuses or giving any alibis," said Mr. Tener. "We have played poor ball, very poor ball, In the last few series. Our pitchers held up, but that was all. 1 appreciate that something must be done. I am not pretending not to soe it. Must Play Baseball "In my annual message to the club presidents I have called attention to the fact that the National League does not get its prestige in the executive office, but on the ball field. That is where the public Judges us. "Every effort must be made all around to strengthen the league. Those recent defeats have stung and with each defeat we are all the more eager to turn the tide. I want everyone in the league, presidents, njanagers and players, to aim for a National League victory next Fall." It was reported to-day that Presi dent Tener. Harry Hempstead, the president of the New York National League club, and John J. McGraw, the club's manager, will meet here to-day or to-morrow to talk over McGraw's criticism of the New York players in their final series with Brooklyn.

Impoverished gasoline will do the same thing to a motor. Good gasoline has got to be more than something that flows through a brass screen, smells and costs money. Now, perhaps more than ever before, motorists must beware of mongrel fuels. Despite market con ditions, the uniform- boiling-point that made Atlantic Gasoline famous is steadfastly maintained.

I , '"Pop" Anson, who Is a theatrical star, is getting a whole lot of free ad vertising. There is scarcely a day that he does not pull off something with the sport writers. Yesterday at Phila delphia he played golf and made an exceptionally good score. The suggestion to divide the season in the New York State League struck a popular chord in tills city. It means more interest. A team may put up a pood game, like that of Harrisburg last season, and be unablo to get at the top because of a late start In form. By having two seasons it means that the team putting up a good game near miclseason will bo able to do some thing in a second race. It will also bring ii post-season series of Interest providing two different teams win each race. Frank Schulte is being hunted by friends. The mother of Schulto died at Binghamton, N. Y„ and it Is the belief that the son Is In the hills on a hunting trip. The veteran Chicago outfielder left after the city series and has not been heard from. Princeton's soccer chances are not very bright because of the absence of players now In tho European war. Captain Hoskins hopes to be ablo to develop new candidates. Once more there is talk of removing the Washington American League team to Brooklyn. There Is an idle Held in Dodgertown and it is the belief that the game would be more profit able there than at Washington. Pitcher Fred Walker, who was a star In the New York State League, playing with Albany and Utlca, will go south with Cincinnati in the Spring. If lie makes good, the necessary price will be turned over, but he must show form.

Rosa E. Kauffman, sport writer on the North American, well known in Harrisburg, is keeping in close touch with Harrisburg stars. Referring to Penn State hoys, he says: "In recent years State College has recruited sev eral of its best back field lads from Harrlsburg schools. 'Shorty' Miller was the first, of the sensations. Then camo Jeff Clark, who is captain and fullback of this year's blue-and-whlte team, and now Coach Harlow hiia Beck, whom he considers one of the heft halfbacks that he has ever seen. 'Tho lad Is a born fighter and likes the sight of blood,' is the way Harlow sizes up Beck." The Buffalo International League team is for sale. There are said to bo a number of prospective purchasers. Business men are moving toward the organization of an association In order to keep the backers In that city. While Stevens Trade School eleven is looked upon as an easy proposition, Coaches Smith and Harris will not take any chances. The dally practice Is Just as hard as if the Central team was preparing to meet Steelton. There Is no telling what the Stevens squad may show. The game Saturday will be of special Interest, as It will be the first opportunity to see Central play. Professor B. W. Saul, athletic di rector at Central, announced yesterday that the first sets In the tennis tourna ment will be played next week. Pro fessor Dibble has asked that these sets bo played on the Central high courts. Front and Seneca, whenever possible. Names of contestants are coming in fast, as all names must be In by Fri day.
