GETTYSBURG MEETS BUCKNELL REGULARS ON SATURDAY-ACADEMY RECORD MINORS TABLE PLAYERS' PLANS National Association of Base ball Leagues Consider Con stitution Changes . ( Xer Orleans. Nov. 16.—Proposed amendments to the constitution of the National Association of Professional Baseball leagues were considered at last night's session of the fifteenth meeting here. Among the amendments were propositions to reduce the mem bership of the national board from nine to five, providing for representation by the minor leagues in the National Base ball Commission, changes in rulings of the national board, reclassification of leagues and other matters involving relations between players and clubs. The minor league clubs voted unani mously to table four demands of the Baseball Players* Fraternity submitted in writing by President David L. Fultz. The demands were as follows: Regarding Injured Player* Elimination of alleged contracts per mitting clubs to suspend Injured play ers: giving players the right to sign new contracts immediately after their unconditional release; allowance to minor league players of traveling ex pense from their home clubs to the club's city or its Spring training camp, and changes in the procedure of the national board in players' claims cases so as to give the fraternity notice of the club's defense and opportunity to reply. The convention acted upon the fra ternity's demands after Secretary Far rell. of the association, had urged against them. There was no argu ment In support of them. Almost ail the leagues which are members of the association held con- 1 ferences but no important action was announced by any of them.

There was a brief signal practice and then some kicking and a little passing. Jimmie \A atkins, the second former gridiron star to arrive this week, joined the athletes this afternoon and will stay with them until after Saturday's game.

He caught I-eonard flush on the jawbone with the smash and the Gotham entry staggered back several steps. It was their fourth meeting, the oth er three taking place in New York, and according to the dope, each now has two victories.

Gannett Submits Plans For Sewage Treatment to City of Williamsport The engineering firm of Farley Gan j nett, consulting engineer, of Harris ■ burg, which was retained last summer to report upon the best method of purifying the sewage of Williamsport. has recently submitted* its report and plans to that city. This work was done in response to a decree and order of the State Department of Health simi lar to the order which has been issued to the city of Harrisburg. The Williamsport plans include a larero intercepting sewer along the water front of the city.* Three miles , and r. half of this interceptor in to be c ! 24 inches in diameter and one and a i half miles will be 48 inches.

These will consist of Imhoff tanks, constructed of concrete, where the - solid floating matter will be removed. ; j After passage through these tanks the sewage will be treated with disinfect ant and discharged into the river. -1 The plant Is designed to treat ten - million gallons of sewage per day, with 1 provision for doubling this capacity v. hen necessary. Provision is also made for the construction of sprinkling fll - tors, when conditions make them nec t essarv. to obtain a more complete puri t f.cation.

WII.KES-DARRE AFTER O'XEIIX iScranton, Pa., Nov. 16.—Mike O'Neill, who led the Syracuse Stars to a pennant in the New York State League last year, has virtually decided not to accept the terms offered by the Stars' manage i ment for 1917 and is now in line for the leadership of the Wilkes-Barre Barons. |He has been made a very good offer ; by the Stegmaler"s, who are the prin ! cipal owners of the team.

BUCKNELL OFFERS REGULAR LINE-UP All Players Out of Hospital; Waddell Is Captain; Hole Is Gettysburg's Hope The seat sale for the Gettysburg- Bucknell game on Saturday* opened yesterday. Indications point to a big crowd. The students will be en hand as usual with bands und cheer choruses. Special trains Will bring 300 rooters from Lewishurg at !> o'clock Saturday morning, ami the Battlefield crowd will arrive a few minutes later. Kach school will parade over the principal streets and will march to Island Park at 2 o'clock. The game starts at 2.50. For the first time this season Buck nell will present a regular varsity back field intact. I'p until this game ono or more of the combination have been in the sidelines because of in juries. In Hopler, Hemiren. llerblne and Waddell as a second line of de fense. Bticknell places great confidence. The veterans. Hopler and llendren, have had several years' experience and have always given a good account of them selves on the Island. Herbine and Wad dell will appear for the first time as the defenders of Bucknell. and as they are natural players much is expected of them. Wnddell Is C'nptnlu The Lewisburgians, when on the tleld, have as their marshal, Waddell, a heady and speedy youth. In him Coach Johnston has a general, who can be de pended upon. If Waddell should not be selected to direct the team, then Hall, the Harrisburg boy. will get the call. Although this is his first year at Lewls burg. still, during his short stay, he has impressed the coaches as a player of no mean ability. In comum-lson. the Gettysburg back field consisting of Captain Stratton. Stoney, Houtz and Rote, is as strong as that of Bucknell. Tills combination is by far the fastest quartet that has ever represented the Battlefield school on the island. Captain Stratton and Stoney made their appearance in this city several years ago and can be de pended uon to keep up their good rec ord. Houtz will be remembered as the former Central high player, who, for the first time, will be seen in cOl legf football. The star of the ' Soldiers," however, is "Rabbit" Roto, the former Central cup tain. As Harvard has her Horween, Cornell her Shiverlck, and Pennsylvania her Berry, so Gettysburg has her Rote. Around him, Berryman has built his whole team, every play is centered about him and depends upon him. He is nn inestimable asset to the eleven, his punting is reliable and accurate and his natural instincts make him a great ground gainer. The alertness with which Rote intercepts forward passes makes him a dangerous man, for once the pigskin Is tucked under his arm, and gets started he is sure to score. |gAMUSEIg[MENTS^ ■■nl w HkgSl JfBL AH MELVILLE CLARK Harpist, with Margaret Woodrow Wilson at the Orpheum, Fridav even ing.
