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

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 Hits Ban Johnson;
Resents Recent Remarks
New York,' Oct. 27. President J.
K. 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."

Pittsburgh After Penn;
Is Big Battle Tomorrow
Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 27. Jubilant j
over the unexpected decisive victory j
at Syracuse last week, the Univers
ity of Pittsburgh football players went
into this week's practices with now
vim, determined to keep the slate
clean this year, as last, and hoping to
defeat Penn. 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

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. State's
brilliant halfback of last season
Ewing, the varsity quarterback ~ to
-day sat on the bench while Jones
ran the team. Conover was again
at center. These two shifts are part
of Harlow s plan to reconstruct the
team.

TECH IN SHAPE
FOR HARD BATTLE
Leave Today For Greensburg;
Booters Take Early Train
Tomorrow
Twenty-one members of the Tech
high school football squad left this
afternoon"on the 2.47 train for Greens
burg, where they will line up to-mor
row afternoon against the high school
team of that place. Accompanying
the players will be Coach Miller,
Trainer Kelly, Professor Grubb and
Manager George Stark.
They will be quartered at the Hotel
Westmoreland, and after a short tour
of the city in automobiles to-morrow
morning, will enter the battle con
fident of victory. Those to make the

itol will be Captain Harris, Beck,
Wil3bach, McFarland, Phillppelli,
Gougler, Lloyd, Eyster, Bell, McGann,
McFarland, Gipple, Wear, Fitzpatrick,
Miller, Snyder, Garman, LauSter, Todd,
Peiffer, Evans and Frank.

ies already made there will likely be
100 rooters to cheer the Maroon to
victory when the kick off is made at
3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. They
will leave at 8 o'clock to-morrow
morning. Tech is confident of coming
back with another scalp dangling from
its belt. In the two p.eceding games
Tech has lost. These two defeats they
hope to retrieve by winning to-mor
row's battle. Both teams will enter
the battles without having lost a game
this year.
Referring to the game to-morrow,
the Greensburg Tribune says:
The big game on Greensburg's
schedule, the Harrisburg Technical
high eleven versus Greensburg will be
played Saturday at Athletic park.
Krom Harrisburg high comes the re
port that Coach "Shorty" Miller's team
is in prime shape for tho contest and
will come to Greensburg, full of hopes
for a victory.
The Harrisburg boys have assured
Jhemselves that Greensburg's team
this year Is not up to the strength of
former years and on these grounds
they are feeling sure of thlr own prow
ss. But according to the Greensburg
coach, Victor Younkins and his var
sity, the Dauphin county boys are due
for a humbling, and the Brown und
White team will uncork a series of
plays that It has been holding up for
this game.
"All the local athletes are in good
shape, with the exception of Coleman,
but the plucky little half wjll report
for signal practice, to-day and Fri-'
day and will be ready for Saturday's
fray.
"Harrisburg- places a great deal of
confidence In their bnckfleld, made up
of Beck, Harris. Lloyd and Wtlsbach.
The Techltes are holding dally prac
tice, and according to word received
by Manager Joe Robinson, a big crowd
, iof Harrlsburg supporters will accoiu-
| pany the team to Greensburg. Greens
j burg will line up as follows, Saturday:
