MELROSE GRAMMAR BOYS PLAY GOOD FOOTBALL-TINKER IS SURE OF OLD JOB TINKER SEEMS SURE AS MANAGER Stockholders Fail to Select New- Man; Re-elect Woeghman President Chicago, Nov. 14. Stockholders of tho Cube yesterday cast their bal lots for the old directors, which will mean a solid delegation in the Bruin electoral college tor the present offi cers. This Indicated that President Weoghman will remain at the head of the party, which he guided through the stormy times of the Federal league invasion, not to mention the squally period of last season. Poli tical wiseacres also see a reappoint ment of Manager Tinker as pilot of the Cubs next season. Tho election was held in the LaSalle Hotel, as the Cub offices in the Otis building were not considered roomy enotigli for the numerous stockholders who were expected. Only about lifteen showed up, and these were told the good news that the Cubs made money last season despite the exceptional expenses under which the organization labored. According to President Weeghman. the meeting, outside of the voting was simply a talkfest. The question of a manager was not raised which Indi cates that Joe Tinker is assured of an other term in the dugout. Officers were not elected as these are appoint ed by the directors, who will meet next week to go through the formality of reappointing Charles H. Weeghman. i president; William M. Walker, vice president and treasurer, and Adolph j Spielman, secretary. These three are ; also directors and the other six re- j elected were Adolph Schuttler, A. D. I Plamondon, A. D. L,asker, R. A. Cava- ] naugh, Charles McCulloch and 1 Ham Wrlgley, Jr. Rifle Association Provides New Range Officer The outcome of the meeting of the Harrisburg Rifle Association held in Wyeth building last evening was the decision to engage in a match on Thanksgiving Day with the Keystone team of Conewago on the latter's range.

MELROSE ELEVEN PLAY STAR GAME Lost One Contest This Season; Victory by Large Scores; Keifer in Charge With a record of nine victories out of the first ten contests played the Melrose Grammar School football eleven will make a strong bid for the city championship among the younger athletes. The team is coached by Professor E. D. Keiper, the new prin cipal at Melrose. He was a football and basketball star at Millersville State Normal School a few years ago. The Melrose lads hope for a contest with the Woodward eleven shortly, and if they are successful in landing this contest they will play the Camp Curtin team for the city champion ship. Only One Defeat Winning all but one of ten contests is no small feat for any team to feel proud of, and while all of the players have shown more than uusal form, the lion's share of the honor falls to Arnold, a lad with 180 pounds of avoirdupois. He uses his weight to good advantage and when he enters one of the high schools next Fall he ought to make good back field ma terial in his freshman year. The gram mar school team from the eastern end of the city has run up scores of 50 on more than one occasion. COMPENSATION PRECEDENTS SET Important Decisions Given by the Members of the Board in This Cily Thp State Workmen's Compensation Board has held that a woman living ! apart from her husband, not depend ent upon him for support, is not en titled to compensation although she has received some money at Irregular intervkls from him. The opinion was given by Commissioner John A. Scott in the case of Mrs. S. Varga vs. Car- ! negie Steel Co., Varga having been fatally hurt in February. It was found that the pair had been living apart ' the woman in Passaic, N. J., since May 1914, the woman supporting herself. "No actual support from the earnings of the husband can be said to have ceased because of his death," holds Mr. Scott. In an opinion by Commissioner 1 Leech the Board has awarded com- 1 pensation to Mrs. Ingeborg Z. Hoag-, land, of Windber, against the Ber wind-White Coal Co., in an unusual j case. The husband was a wireman i and was forced to change his place of j residence so that his family in a seri- ! ous illness might have the services of! a physician. To do this he tempor arily accepted work in another mine of the same company, having been employed for eighteen years previous- i ly in one mine. To obtain his tem- ; porary employment he had to accept a lower wage until the foreman could decide upon his efficiency. The' Board says that it must hold that the | lower wage, at which he was working when fatally hurt, must govern the compensation. Chairman Mackey has ruled that: an employe who appears at the place of employment intoxicated and does not report to work and subsequently;! sets hurt the employer Is not liable for' compensation. The pa.se was that of Charles Washington, Pittsburgh,;! against J. A. Kvers, also of Pitts-! 1 burgh. The rilling will act as a pre- j cedent. It was found that Washing-! ton appeared at McKeesport High! School whore he had been employed ! ' as a hod carrier on some work in progress. He went to the roof of the boiler house and went to sleep, fall ing through the window and landing on a running track in a gymnasium, sustaining broken limbs and injuries'! which prevented him from working, 1 from April until July. The claim made for compensation was not allowed and an appeal taken was dismissed by the ' Board. The Board has upheld the award of Referee T. J. Dunn in the; case of Elizabeth Hall. Monongahela, 1 ' against the Pittsburgh Coal Com pany in which It Is found that she was dependent upon wages of her j son. ABANDON" TWO-OFFICIAL SYSTEM Trenton, N. J., Nov. 13. The East- j ern League at a meeting held In the' armory here to-night decided to aban-1 don the two-ottlcial plan of conducting its games, and starting Wednesday at Camden will return to the old plan of a referee only. The decision was ar rived at only after a heated dlscsusion in which Trenton and Camden sup ported It. Every club in the league was represented, there being present ! j Berliner, of Reading; Henry, of Cam- j den; Adams, of De Nerl; Kennedy, of j , Jasper; Bailey, of Greystock, and Ku- 1 ser, of Trenton. President Schelfer ' was also at the meeting. SECRET WORK IS PLAN FOR NAVY Too Many Outsiders Watch Squad at Work; Special Work in Order j Annapolis, Md., Nov. 14. Every practice at the Naval Academy during ; the remainder of the season will be se cret, according to the statement of Head Coach Ingram, and numerous : precautions will be taken to insure | that those who get within sight of the I squad are loyal navy people and none ! others. It was stated that the lines I were not drawn as strictly as they ! should have been last week, and in j consequence they tightened a good : deal this afternoon. ! There are special plays which will ,be uncovered only when the Army I team is met, but the main reliance will j be put upon the speed, spirit and ln ; telligence of the young team which ; has been brought together. Hope grows that this will bo the year for | the Navy to win from Army and break | the long chain of defeats. The coaches are still changing the ! team freqeuntly, but more with the idea of insuring experienced and cap ; able men for every position. The j work of the backfield, with such men as Welchel, Orr, Perry, Ingram, Davis i and Martin, is most encouraging, and there is no doubt that the squad is stronger than for years in this partic- I ular.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH RECORD CROWD IS SATURDAY DOPE Bucknell and Gettysburg in Fine Shape For the Annual j Battle at Island Park HAROLD A. HOUTZ Tho football game between Buck nell and Gettysburg on the Island Saturday has aroused interest not only in the two college towns, and this immediate vicinity, but through Central The follow ers of this sport are looking forward to this contest. The attraction is due, | perhaps, to the fact that a close and J fiercely contested battle is expected, I since the teams are about evenly ] matched. In previous years, Bucknell has al ways. been conceded the favorite, but i the size of the score has been more l or less conjecture. On the contrary, this year, it is a task to select the i eleven, which will carry off the final I honors. Both teams have played ex- I ceptional ball at times during the j season, but when taken as a whole Gettysburg's showing has been more | consistent than that of Bucknell. Tho latter's inconsistency has been due ! largely to the fact that their team i has been severely handicapped be i cause of injuries. Both Teams in Sliape Upon the eve of this annual strug gle, both elevens are in the best phys ical condition. The coaches will spend this week perfecting t.ie new forma tions and drilling the squads so that the plays may be run olt with clock like precision and accuracy. Nothing will be neglected which will tend to put the teams in the best condition for this fray. In order to accommodate the in creased demand for seats, the man agement has arranged for the erec tion of more bleacher seats on the west side of the gridiron, for which no extra charge will be made. Fol lowing the custom of previous years, regular reserved seats will bo placed on sale at J. Harry Messersinith's store, 212 Market street, at 1 o'clock, Wednesday afternoon. These seats are located on the east side of the field. Houtz, a former local star, is sure to play in this game. He and Rote have been valuable men.
