TECH CRIPPLED FOR WILKES-BARRE GAME BY INJURIES TO "SNITZ" SNYDER
FRESHMEN WERE
LOSERS AT STATE
Captain Clark and His Team
mates Tear Through Line
For Big Gains
State College, Pa., Nov. 9. Penn
State's stalwart freshman eleven, fresh
from its triumph over the University
of Pennsylvania yearlings couldn't
hold the 'varsity to-day. Captain
Clark and his teammates scrimmaged
for forty minutes against the best de
fense the freshmen could offer, and
the regulars tallied seven touchdowns.
Five of them resulted from forward
passes hurled to the back and ends.
Higglns, Ege and Gross figured prom
inently in the scoring. Harlow's new
offense for the Lehigh game seems
strong.
Jeff Clark Gains
Jeff Clark celebrated his return to
rough work by tearing through the
freshman line for long gains. His
spectacular advancement of the ball
did not, however, eclipse his brilliant
interference. Whenever Hess or
Ewing successfully turned the fresh
man ends, it was Clark who took out
the tacklers for them. Neither Robb
nor Beck took part in the signal work
or the scrimmage. Both of them
needed a rest, and they were sent to
the training quarters after a couple of
turns around the track.

THIRD BIG LEAGUE
IS NEW PROJECT
May Mean Elimination of Inter
nationals; City Demands
Classy Sport
New York, Nov. 9.—ln order to im
prove conditions outside of the two
major leagues, the big magnates who
fchape tiie destiny of the national game
have made plans for the formation of
a third big league, a combination of
the best cities in the International
League and the American Association,
which will not be subject to the draft
rule and may have a representative on
the national commission someday.
The National Association of Minor
Leagues convenes at New Orleans on
November 14. Delegates from big and
little ball clubs in all parts of the
United States and Canada will meet
for the purpose of building up the
sport outside of the major leagues.
The big scheme that will come up
for careful deliberation is the forma
tion of a circuit to embrace Toronto,
Buffalo. Baltimore, Newark, Milwau
kee, Louisville. Indianapolis and To
ledo. If this plan meets with approval
the International League will pass out
of existence, together with its clubs in
Providence, Rochester, Montreal and
Richmond, while the American Asso
ciation will drop Kansas City, Minne
apolis, St. Paul and Columbus.
Indianapolis. Milwaukee and Louis
ville have grown so rapidly that they
demand recognition as major league
cities. Indianapolis was a member of
ihe National League up to 1890. Louis
ville also had a National League fran
chise Jn the twelve-club circuit that
was dissolved in 1899. Milwaukee was
one of the original members of the
American League. Toledo made rapid
strides last season with Roger Bres
nahan at the head of a pretty fair ball
club.
With Toronto, Buffalo, Newark and
Baltimore in the eastern end of the
new major league, the railroad jumps
would not entail heavy traveling ex
penses. In the western end Indian
apolis, Ixniisville, Milwaukee and To
ledo woudl also be conveniently lo
cated. A schedule of 154 games would
mean three eastern and three western
trips, with the season opening and
closing on the dates fixed for the Na
tional and American Leagues.
It would bo necessary to adopt a
salary limit, perhaps, to keep the- new-
American Association clubs within
reasonable bounds, but it would be
possible, under more prosperous con
ditions. to carry many first-class play
ers dropped by the National and
American Leagues, at the same time
providing room for the best men at
present reserved by the clubs that
would he left out of the proposed ar
rangement.
It is the plan of the big magnates,
including President Ban Johnson, of
the American League, who is the
prime mover in bringing about this
radical change, to call the new major
league the American Association and
to elect Edward G. Barrow to the
presidency.
The admission of Baltimore to the
new major league, it is believed, would
result in the withdrawal of the.
$900,000 damage suit brought against
organized baseball by Baltimore Feds.
If the new major league should de
velop high-class playing skill next year
it might be possible to admit the pen
nant winner to the world's series of
1918. That would mean a three
cornered battle for premier baseball
honors which would interest twenty
four cities instead of sixteen. As far
as the national commission is con
cerned, the reorganized American As
sociation might be allowed to have a
membership, but that is problematical
and would depend entirely on the
strength of the circuit.
Marked Improvement in
Bucknell and Gettysburg
There has been a marked improve
ment in the playing of the football
teams representing Gettysburg and
Bucknell colleges. Although Princeton
overwhelmed the Lewisburgians Sat
urday, the pace set by Coach Johns
ton's proteges in the game against
New York University at New York,
Tuesday was a source of renewed con
fidence to their followers.
The exhibition of Gettysburg at
Morgantown against West Virginia
last Saturday was the best that has
been given by the Battlefield boys
this season. The West Virginia team,
which earlier in the season held Penri
to three points, was unable to gain
consistently in its attacks on the Get
tysburg line at any time during the
fray.

INSTRUCTING NOVICES IN
ART OF TRAPSHOOTING
A very important thought In connec
tion with giving a beginner his first les
son in trapshooting is placing in his
hands a gun which, as near as condi
tions will permit, lits him.
If he brings his own gun, assuming
that his gunning experience ends with
the field, it, in all probability, will be
found, owing to stock measurements, to
be useless as a target braker.
Then, in all fairness to the novice, a
trap gun should be borrowed, but, in
stead of a "hlt-or-miss" selection, the
shooters should be carefully looked over
until one is found as near the build
of our friend as may be, and his gun
secured for th<* occasion. Thus equip
ped, the beginner has a fair start, and,
watched carefully against bad position
habits, will quickly settle into the prop
er swing, which will carry with it a
confidence that must eventually spell
mastery.
Who Succeeds Herrmann
Branch Rickey Candidate
Chicago, 111., Nov. 9.—Add to the wild
and weird, guesses as to who will suc
ceed August Herrmann as chairman of
the National Baseball Commission in
case he is ousted the name of Branch
Rickey of the St. Louis Browns.
Rickey's name just now is being
bandied about in circles where the Na
tional Commission row is being talked
most. Rickey was in Chicago on two
recent occasions and both times he was
long in conference with President
Johnson of the American League.
Offhand it would look as if nomina
tion of Rickey for the job would bring
from Barney Dreyfus of Pittsburgh,
who is back of all the fuss, another
protest. Rickey, it will be remembered
was the fellow who brought pressure
to bear upon George Sisler to quit
Pittsburgh and join himself with the
Browns.
Morton's Arm Now Right;
Bonesetter Rees Is Wonder
Chicago, Nov. 9. "Bonesetter"
Reese has snapped Morton's arm back
into place and he's going to make
Cleveland a pennant contender and
possible winner in 1917.
This information came from James
C. Dunn, president and owner of the
Cleveland Indians, to-day as he chat
ted of his club's prospects for next
season.
Morton is one of the slab freaks of
baseball and a rival of Walter John
son for terrific speed.
"Few persons may know it, but
Morton pitches with a crooked arm,"
said Dunn. "It seems to be double
jointed and is about as straight as the
Missouri river.
Morton might have won a flag for
Cleveland last season had he not suf
fered from misplaced ligaments in his
right arm.

Some Football Dope
on Eastern Teams
New York, Nov. 9. The bat
tle for the Eastern football cham
pionship has simmered down to
five elevens. The unbeaten teams,
showing their accomplishments,
follow:
W. L. T. P C. Pt.
Yale 6 0 .. 260 20
Princeton t> 0 .. 135 3
Army 6 0 .. 18 4 24
Pittsburgh .... 5 0..174 19
Brown ....... 5 0 1 19 4 3
Three of the five teams are to
clash later in the season. The
Yale-Brown match next Saturday
will eliminate one of the two, in ail
likelihood, while the Yale-Prince
ton affair on the 18 th may act as
a knockout for the hopes of one or
the other.

BIG PLAYS BOOKED
James George, manager of the Vic
toria Theater, announces that he re
ceived. last evening, after five months
of negotiation, definite word that'he has
secured exclusive run rights to some
of the greatest and costltc3t motion
picture plays ever produced. They are
the Louis J. Selznick productions, fea
turing such stars as Madame Nazimova,
Mary Garden and Clara Kimball Young.
The attractions booked include Madame

fact, long after he was sixty years
old. S. N. Loew, who is seventy-two,
goes in swimming in the ocean every
day, and he has been doing this every
day for twenty years.
If a new shooter enters your ranks,
don't let him fight it out alone. If he
lifts his gun as if it weighed a ton. and
bends his back at an angle of 45 de
grees, it is your cue, as a sportsman, to
step forward and ask if you may pre
sume to offer him a little advice based
on your owni experience, and nine times
out of ten, you will find that you have
made a friend for life, for such are the
refinements of the sport.
Balanced well on both feet, body in
clined slightly forward of the perpen
dicular, with butt-plate of the gun well
inside of the shoulder Joint, your new
friend is headed l in the right direction,
and you will soon see him breaking tar
gets with creditable consistency. He
has yet much to learn, and volumes
which cannot be taught, but must be
automatically absorbed through per
sonal experience and those correspond
ing factors, cause and effect.
