CENTRAL IS NOW READY FOR STEELTON HIGH LOUD KICKS ON FARRELL CIRCUIT Someone Bungled in Sending Out Official Averages; Home From Scranton f There is a howl from the New York ' State Leagrue on account of averages, Thoso recently issued by President J. H. Farrell, it is said are not cor rect. Players who were changed dur ing the season, it is said, lose credit for a number of games. There is also a kick on the manner in which advance sheets with averages were distributed. A number of newspapers have not received copies to date, f It is customary to send out advance sheets with notices of time for re lease. The bulk of the morning pa pers carried part of the information. In some towns on the circuit, after noon papers published advance in formation. According to reports news papers who did not got a copy of the tigures are hot foot after President Farrell. The Scranton Republican says: Kick From Scranton "President Farrell's annual official averages given out yesterday are bungled up in the usual Farrell fash ion. For the most part you cannot get head nor tall out of them. Dur ing the pennant race there was more shifting of players than last year, and to save himself any additional trouble, Sir John In some instances has done nothing but compute the average of •i player for each town. Take Bruggy for instance. He has two separate sets of averages. With Frank O'Rourke it is the same. Another thing is that no attention has been paid to base hits, triples and home runs, even thougn scorers had to keep tabs of such drives on their official sheets. The pitching tigures are also a joke. Nothing is shown as to tho number of innings a twirler worked, and the only way one can find his winning percentage is to sit down at a table or desk and figure it out. It cer tainly seems funny that the oldest '"lass B. league in the world should be so far behind the times."

YALE'S FAITH IN FOOTBALL; LEGORE'S RETURN FACTOR New Haven. Oct. 27. Yale blue, which has for several seasons been a chronic undergraduatao disposition, as well as the university color at Now Haven, has taken on a rose tint this Fall. Even the meager reports that have dribbled past the college censors have reflected a more hopeful spirit for the 19X6 football season. It's time. Tale has been crushed so often by Harvard In major sports that defeat seems habitual. It is no\\r seven years since an Eli football team won from Harvard, and only once in six seasons has a Yale team scored against tho crimson. Since Charlie Brickley first became a factor in university football at Har vard, Yale has hardly dared to even hope for anything at the hands of the Cambridge. The crushing 41-0 de feat of last year filled the bitter cup. The change (if one is really to oc cur), In the situation as to football, rests entirely on one man Harry WELLYS J CORNER "Doc" Cook, field captain for Har risburg and second sacker. holds sec ond position in the season's averages, in 124 games he had 22 errors and fielded at .971. Loudenslager, of El mira, was one point better in 135 games. Downey was fourth in third j base work with .939. Eddie Zimmer man in 24 games had but five errors. Lancaster has withdrawn from the Interscholastic Basketball league. Lack of a suitable floor on which to | play is the reason given. Wllllams- I port may enter the league. A general j opinion prevails that the remaining six clubs should keep the organiza tion going until next season. Lancas ter is to have a new high school build ing and will be in shape for better work next year. Herb Hunter won his fight at Leba non last night. He was up against a good boy in Doc Reogel of Lebanon. Ihe local boxer was leader in every round. Seiders of Lebanon put Kid Dempsey of Harrisburg out in tho sec ond round. Plans have been completed for a series of basketball games between > entral, Tech and Harrisburg Acad . emy. A schedule is now underconsid eration. Two games will be plaved | with each team. The Harrisburg JINX VISITS AT ACADEMY FIELD Moody Out With Broken Col larbone; Britsch Has Bad Foot ' I Harrisburg Academy is up against a "jinx." Moody, a clever young half back. is out with a broken collar bone; and Britsch, the quarterback, is suf fering with an infected foot Both players have been factors in previous victories. Moody was injured during a scrim mage early in the week. He did not know the collarbone had been fac tured until yesterday when an exam ination was made. Moody had been suffering with sharp pains in the back. He will be out of the game for the rest of the season. Britsch has not been able to get into practice this week. If his foot will permit he may get into to-mor row's game, but Coach Sclilichter does not want to take any chances. Other Players All Kiglit The other players are in good shape. William Bennett announced his inten tions to quit the game and handed in his uniform yesterday. He said he would quit school, but. later reconsid ered his move and will be In the line up to-morrow. This afternoon the squad was put through a light scrimmage in prepar ation for the game with Schuylkill Seminary at Reading to-morrow. School spirit is strong at Harrisburg Academy and the student were out this afternoon cheering the players. HERRMANN MEETS JOHNSON Chicago. Oct. 27. August Herr mann, of Cincinnati, chairman of the National Commission is in Chicago to day for the purpose of holding a con ference with Ban Johnson, president of the American League and member I of the National Commission and other baseball men. Mr. Herrmann would not say what [ brought him to Chicago at this time, | but it was understood that the pro- : posal of Barney Dreyfuss, of the I Pittsburgh Nationals for a new na- I tional commission would be one of tho I subjects taken up at the conference. "I am in a rather delicate position as regards Mr. Dreyfuss' proposal for 0 neutral commission as it directly Involves me," he said. "I can. how ever, say that any one who has been through the mill knows what it means. 1 have been connected with the Na tional Commission since 1903 and I can testify to the effect that it takes a | lot of baseball experience to do the | work." PENIIROOK. PLAYS AT PALMYRA ! The Penbrook All-Scholastics wiU ! meet Palmyra A. C. to-morrow,' at Palmyra. The following players are requested to meet at Twenty-seventh and Canby streets, Penbrook, at 1 o'clock sharp: Albright, Earley, Garman, Koons, Pennybaker, Flory, Hiney, Ellis, Bobb. Loeser. Shields, Zeigler, Aungst, Cooper and Kline. The team will go to Palmyra in automobiles. Legore, last year ineligible because he ate a ham sandwich or something of the sost in return for playing a baseball game for the manager of a resort hotel. For this slight baseball offense he was suspended from foot ball playing. Cun you beat it? To return: This year Yale occupies the position that Harvard for four years has held —• namely, plenty of good material with team play built around one man. a star. Harvard has no Brickley and no Mahan thla year unless he litis been under cover. Yale, on the other hand, has Harry Legore, who is a known quality. He is believed to be the greatest all around Individual player in the east to-day because of his versatility. He can run, kick and play defense better than any man Yale has had since Ted Coy. This at least is the way he is de scribed by men who have no reason to be over laudatory. ■ Academy stars indicate a fast team for • that institution. Bob Folwcll and his Penn squad passed through Harrisburg at an early hour this morning en route to Pitts burgh. With the exceptions of Coach Folwell and his assistants the players had all retired when the train reached this city. Nell was not with them. The big guard is out for good. He > will play with the Vincome A. C., dur ing the balance of tho season. The Central-Steelton game to-mor : row out to attract a record crowd. : While still feeling sore at last Satur day's defeat at the hands of Tech, Steelton will put up the hardest kind of battle to-morrow. Coach Schlicliter of the Harrisburg Academy eleven has the sympathy of all football enthusiasts in the loss of Moody. He gave every indication of being a future star. Hard luck hits every squad at sometime, and the Academy boys are getting theirs. Officials in charge of to-morrow's | game at Island Park will receive the | commendation of every good sport jif they enforce the ground rules. At critical points in the games there is : too much interference from the side I lines, especially thoso who are along I the fence.

Tener, of the National League, is sued a statement here to-hight, reply- j ing to a statement credited to Presi- : dent B. B. Johnson, of the American 1 league,ln Mllwa/ukeeyosterday in refer ence to the much discussed "McGraw incident." Johnson is reported to have criti-1 cised the National League for what he considered its failure to rebuke John McGraw, manager of the New York Giants, for his denouncement of his players In tho game which won Brook- I lyn the National League pennant. "In regard to President Johnson's second reference to the McGraw inci dent." reads President Tener's state ments, "it is, like the first, pure bun combe. The National League is hand ling the McGraw affair in its own way and in a proper way. 'McGraw's action in leaving the field and his subsequent statement do not constitute a charge against the integrity of the game, and McGraw disavows any such intention. "If Johnson wants to raise any trou ble he noQd not look any further for an opportunity than the statement ! made by one of the club owners against the umpires in his own league." CENTRAL'S FORM IS ENCOURAGING Expect Becord Crowd When Local Eleven Meets Steelton Tomorrow at Island Park , . .... -i* iP* ■ ' y' CAPTAIN EDDIE HILTON i Ideal football weather to-morrow la , the hope of an army of enthusiasts in Harrisburg and Steelton. Whilo the j news from Greensburg is awaited, a | record crowd is expected at Island J Park, where the Central High and ; j Steelton High elevens will clash in the 1 first battle.

Captain Eddie Hilton and his war : rlors are ordered out for light work I this afternoon. Coaches Smith and Harris finished the hard work yes terday and were much pleased with | the work of the players. Both teams I arc expected to hand up something new in football.

W. & J., Penn State and the other teams yet to be met by *i margin sufficiently great as to leave no doubt concerning the Panthers' superiority. a chronic undergraduate disposition certain for the Penn-Pitt tussle to morrow, as this game is regarded here as being practically a championship affair for the State and, perhaps for a larger district. Folwell and Warner are old foes, and Penn burns to re ,r'e t Y® 'r,?, 1 , V ear ''? defeat at the hands of the Pittsburghers. Most Pitt root ers consider it the real test of the sea son. Thousands of Penn Alumni will occupy several complete grandstand sections, and a special train brings | students here from Philadelphia. Hess in Clark's Place; to Play Againsf Gettysburg State College, Pa., Oct. 27. Real izing the urgent need of a stronger defense. Penn State's coaches to-day devoted the entire practice period to a defensive scrimmage against the freshman eleveii. Dutch Hermann's first-year men were able to get through the varsity forwards for sub slant ial gains, but they were stop ped by the regular's secondary line of bulwarks. Beck and Robb bore the brunt of the work back of the line Hess again filled 1 Captain Clark's place at fullack. He is booked for that Job against Gettysburg on Sat urday. Much interest centers in the game with the Battlefield collegians who are coached by Berrvman.
