10 CONNIE MACK TO LEAD BOSTON NEXT YEAR-SOLDIER SHOOTERS WORK GOOD LOCAL SHOOTERS MAKE GOOD SCORES Factors in Landing Third Honors For Pennsylvania; Soldiers at Jacksonville Harrlsburg members of the Eighth Regiment machine gun company lo cated at El Paso, were prominent in the recent rifle matches at Jackson ville, Fla. Sergeant Claude W. Gerdes and Sergeant Charles A. Burtnett, formerly of Company D, were mem bers of the Pennsylvania team that won third place. The total score was 3,005 out of a possible 3,600. First hoonre went to United States Marine Corps with a total score of 3,047; second New York National Guard 3,03 7. Other members of the team were Sergeant Virgil B. Kennedy of Harrisburg, formerly of Company I, now of the headquarters company. Captain George C. Jack of Troop C., (Governor's Troop) wan range officer; and Major J. Mark Peters of Steelton, surgeon on the Eighth regiment staff. Honors For Shooters In earning this position the team brought honors to Pennsylvania never before attained by a State rifle team, as previous to this year eighth place, taken by last year's team, had been the highest position ever attained. Conditions under which the men shot made this record all the more re markable. On an order issued by Major General Clements, commanding the Pennsylvania Division on the Bor der, a group of about 100 riflemen as sembled September 29 on the range of the Third Infantry at that place to compete for places on the team. Among them were mny old-time shots together with the less expe rienced ones who were attracted by the possibility of having a tour of duty away from the border. The match or tryout covered two days, all except. 30 having the highest scores being eliminated for the sec ond day's shoot. The second day's contest was much harder fought than the first, as 16 of the 30 were to secure the honor of representing their State in the great est rifle tournament ever conducted in this country. As a result of this shoot a team was selected of which only four men had previously shot on a similar team. The Pennsylvania score follows: Pennsylvania National Guard, Class A Edward W. Sweet ing.

HERMAN & CO., Makers. On Top For 25 Years. ' TUESDAY EVENING, ' BALLPLAYERS ASK FOR CONCESSIONS Seek Pay When Injuries Keep Them Out of Game; Presi dent Fultz Talks New York Oct. 31.: —The official list of requests made by the Baseball Play ers' Fraternity to the National Com mission and the National Board of Arbi tration for concessions to Its members was outlined yesterday by President David I* Fultz of the freternlty as fol lows: "First. That clauses in baseball con tracts empowering clubs to suspend without pay, after certain periods of disability, players who are Injured In service be eliminated', and that such players be entitled to full pay as long as they are held under contract. "Second. That Rule 34 of the rules and regulations of the National Board be amended In so fan as it violates section marked 'first' of the fraternity agreement. "Third. That minor league players receive their traveling expenses from their homes to the training camps when reporting for Spring practice. "Fourth. That the procedure now employed by the national board In hearing players' claims presented by the fraternity lie amended so that the fraternity shall receive copies of the ■ defenses Interposed by the clubs and' an opportunity be given it of answering such defenses; that immediately upon decisions being rendered the frater nity shall be served with a copy there of and the players' exhibits, if any, presented by the fraternity returned to It, If requested. That the board shall enforce its award against the clubs." Kultis Explains In a brief supporting the fraternity's petition, President Fultz, acting for the board of directors, states In part, re ferring to the various requests: "Request I—There exists to-wday in many of the minor league contracts and In some of those of the American Lea gue a clause allowing clubs to suspend without pay a player who has been disabled on the field. "We believe that tills rule Is unjust to the player, In that it deprives him of the opportunity of earning his liveli hood, not because of any breach of discipline on Ills part, not because he has neglected In any way to do his full duty, but because he, engaged In a dan gerous occupation, disregarding his own welfare In Ills excessive desire to win, has taken a risk in the furtherance of that club which has brought injury up on him. We believe that the worst treatment a player in this situation should receive is his unconditional re lease, or, in other words, his discharge, if the club does not wish to pay his salary. By the clause under considera tion, however, a club Is allowed to re tain title to the player, prevent his go ing to any other club and pay him no salary. "Request 2—The national board, at Its annual meeting in the Fall of 1916, enacted a clause, designated Rule 34 of the rules and regulations of the na tional board, which is in direct violation of Section 1 of the fraternity agree ment, which reads In part as follows: " 'When a major league player re ceives a ten days" notice of uncondi tional release, or when a Class AA or Class A player, receives a five days' notice of unconditional release, he shall be free to sign with any team imme diately, the contract to run from the expiration of his notice of release.' "This section permits a player who has received notice of his unconditional release to immediately negotiate for his services, so that by expiration of the release period he will have a posi tion open for him."

Tris May Succeed Fohl; Star to Meet Owner Dunn Cleveland, Oct. 31.—The fact that Tris Speaker, the great outfielder and cham pion batter of the American League, ar rived in Cleveland yesterday to remain for a few days and that President James C. Dunn, of the Cleveland Amer ican League club, is due to arrive here almost any day gave rise to the report that Speaker would succeed Leo Fohl as manager of the local team. Dunn stated that he would have sev eral important announcements of great interest to the fans to make at a din ner he will tender local newspaper men some time this week. Vice-President Robert B.

Shake-up in Tiger Camp; Coach Rush Is Sore Frinceton, N. J., Oct. 31. Looking back over the Dartmouth game, Coach Rush is not at all pleased with the work of his men on Saturday. As a result of the game there is likely to be a change or two in the Tiinceton line up. - , Harold Ballin, captain of the Prince ton team, two years ago and one of the greatest linemen at Princeton in the last decade, has taken over the de velopment of Phil the giant tackle. Kauffman got into the game on Saturday* for awhile, and will be pushed to hard work tills week. Hal sey, another substitute tackle, will be given personal attention and scrim mage work tills week. The afternoon work yesterday was spent In a long dummy scrimmage. Neither Ames nor Eddy was on the field l . In their stead Harold Comey worked out at quarterback on the var sity. Comey is coming right along and with his kicking ability will step in to fill the gap immediately' should either of the leading candidates be injured. Tibbot Driggs and Brown composed the remainder of the backfield. Highley and Wilson were at the ends, and in the forward passes tried tile former proved sure death to anything in the air. Winn, who showed so well on Saturday at the wing position, also was given a chance, and his play appealed to the coaches. Bowling Scores on Local and Nearby Alleys Allison Hill League (Hess alleys.)

Organized baseball from year to year sees strange changes, and there will be thousands of Philadelphia fans who will learn with regret that Connie Mack is about to sever his connection with local baseball after fifteen years' dominatioi? of the Athletics. Up Boston way savants of the Inner Know are whispering to each other the name of the new pilot who will take Bill Carrigan's place at the helm of the twice world champions. Not Jack Barry, they say, but the man who first introduced Jack to the base ball world. Joe Eannin, the president of the Red Sox, has been given his "move on" sign by Big Ban Johnson, say the wise guys, and next April will see Connie Mack president and (man ager of the world's champions. Athletie Shake-Up This means a cataclysmic shakc-up in the local American League club. George T. Johnson, the multimillion aire shoe manufacturer, of Binghani ton, N.

He would want a controlling interest, which would mean that the Shlbes will either sell out entirely or sur render enough stock to give Johnson the controlling interest. Ira Thomas is stated to manage the Binghamton team in the New York State League next year, so the stove leaguers state, and with him will go some of the team Mack has been building. Harry Davis, Manager Harry Davis is the man most likely to succeed Connie as manager of the A's, and although the present moment does not find him with much real big league material, doubtless Ban John son's masterly manipulating skill will deal him a high hand from the bottom of the deck in order that the new pro prietor will be able to put on a good show for local patrons his first year. Davis is the logical man for the job, though Eddie Collins might be brought back from Chicago. Barry is too popular at. the Hub to be returned here, and neither Lajoie. Strunk nor Mclnnes shape up so prominently as does Davis for the post. Johnson is perhaps the richest man connected with organized baseball, Ills wealth running far into the millions. His plant is located at Johnsdn, a miniature city adjoining Binghaniton, and virtually his own private property. Nicholas E. Young Is Dead; Former National League Head Washington. D. C., Oct. 31. —Nich- olas E. Young, an old-time baseball player and formerly president, of the National League, died at his home here early to-day. He had been em ployed in the Treasury Department for some time. Mr. Young was born in Armsterdam, N. Y„ and was 76 years old. He played professional ball with the old Nationals of Washington in the sixties, later with the Chicago club of the Union League, and' was at one time manager of the Lord Baltimore Club of Baltimore. He became president and secretary of the National League in 1881 and held that position until 1903, when he retired and was suc ceeded by Harry Pulliam. Mr. Young had been an invalid for four years, but until that time at tended most of the engagements played by the Washington club here. franchise. The same plan will be fol lowed In Harrisburg. Manager George Cockill has been too busy with Buck nell to come to Harrisburg but hopes to be able to have a conference with local promotors in the very near future. The Eastern League Basketball League is underway and it looks like a lively season. The teams will all play in Harrisburg at intervals and local basketball enthusiasts will have an opportunity to see star cage men at work. Central High players had a rest yesterday. This afternoon they start ed work on some new things. Nantl coke High is an unknown quantity here. It is a new team on Central's schedule and Coaches Smith and Har ris will not take any chances of being tripped up. Nanticoke has defeated Shamokin and other elevens in the coal regions. Independents Work Hard For Opening Cage Battle The Independents are fast rounding into shape. With less than a week left before the basketball season opens at Chestnut Street Auditorium, the In dependents have been holding almost daily practices. With Shamokin as its opponent for the opening game the Independents realize they will have to t ravel fast to open with a victory. The coal region boys have already opened their season and will come to Harris burg confident of carrying home a vic tory. The Independents will have one great advantage on most teams here this season, for they have a center who stands 6 feet 2 inches in his stocking feet. Paul Gerdes, former High School star and late of the University of Chicago, is the one who will jump the center position. Captain McCord has called for practice each afternoon of this week at the Auditorium. Suppose we'd say "Have an Overcoat on us!" You dbe interested. Yes? Look up A.
