President Johnson Smiles;
Says Strike Talk Is Bosh
Chicago, Nov. 18. President B.
B. Johnson, of the American League
was not worried to-day about the
threatened "strike" on baseball play
ers, nor does ho believe that the pro
posed new baseball commission set in
motion at New Orleans will interfere
with the national commission of which
he is a member. Mr. Johnson said
the figures given out were misleading.
"Instead of only twenty-five Play
ers having hold over contracts in the
major leagues," he said, "there are
probably sixty men in tho American
League alone whose contracts run
over next season. I am not worrying
about any possible strike and neither
are the owners in our league. The
National Commission has in the past
been able to bundle the cases which
have come up and I think they will
bo able to do so in the futuro."
INTEREST IX SCIIOtiASTIC GAMES
Interest in scholastic fcames to-day
was not lacking. Central plays at
Heading; Tech ut Willtamsport and
Steelton at Lebanon. Much import
ance is placed in all three games.
A victory for Tech will add to their
chances for season's honors. Central
is expected to have an easy time. One
other local game was played, Harris
burg Academy and Gettysburg Acad
emy lined up in annual battle, this
moi-ning on Academy field.
MICHIGAN HAS HEAVY TEAM
Ann Arbor, Mich., Nov. 18. The
University of Michigan winds up its
1916 football schedule here this af
ternoon in a clash with the University
of Pennsylvania. The men of both
elevens are reported to be in excellent
condition and each team is confident
of victory. Pennsylvania will be
slightly outweighed by Michigan, but
it is conceded that Coach Folwell
has developed a team of unusual
speed and skill in handling the ball.
TINKER TO MANAGE CUBS
Chicago, 111., Nov. 18.—Joseph B.
Tinker virtually has been agreed upon
us manager of the Chicago National
League club next season, it was an
nounced last night after a conference
between Tinker and Charles 11. Weegh
man. president of the club. No con
tract has been signed, however, but
Tinker, before departing on a hunting
trip, said he expected to sign next
week.

GETTYSBURG HERE
FOR BIG BATTLE
Meet Bucknell Rivals at Island
Park This Afteroon; Great
Crowd; Enthusiastic Spirit
Harrisburg's annual college football
classic was the big feature to-day at
Island Park. Gettysburg and Buek
nell furnished the thrills and proved
a big attraction. For the first time
since this annual contest was played
in Ilarrisburg, the Lewisburg boys
were not picked by the majority of
local enthusiasts to win.
Probably, due to the presence of
Itote, iloutz, Emanuel anil other local
boys in the Gettysburg line up, the
bfcttletield contingent was a stronger
favorite to-day. However, it must be
handed to Coach Berryman's team for
extraordinary work this season. Buck
nell was not without a following. It
is claimed that games played by
Bucknell this season were out of their
regular class.
Ideal Football Day
It was an ideal day for football.
This city presented a real college ap
pearance soon after !t o'clock, when
the rooters from the two colleges ar
rived by special train, liach school
had a band. Bucknell brought 800
rooters; and Gettysburg had a crowd
of 500. The students carried pen
nant flags, and had numerous songs
and special cheers for the occasion.
Gettysburg put up at the Common
wealth. and Bucknell's crowd register
ed at Hotel Columbus. George Cockill
was here, too.
During the morning the bands ser
enaded the various newspaper offices.
The return home will start late to
night, as it is planned to allow the col
lege boys an opportunity to see Har
risburg, and take in the basketball
game to-night.
The march to Island Park began
at 1.30. Lively scenes preceeded the
game. Each crowd indulged in snake
dances and parades on the field. The
bands played lively tunes and the
cheer leaders lost no opportunity to
make it interesting for the big crowd.
An added feature this year was a
scoreboard, similar to those used at
big games and giving in detail every
play as it is made, it was a big help
to the crowd.
Bucknell's Team Heavy
Bucknell's only advantage over
Gettysburg at the start was in weight
It was said that Gettysburg was live
pounds to a man lighter than their
opponents. Bucknell also had the
tackle player in Captain Beale. Get
tysburg however has a fast team
Coach Berryman had a squad of 30
men and gave notice he was after
a scalp.
Rote, the local star, who is with
Gettysburg, was given an ovation.
The other Harrisburgcrs were not
overlooked. Rote was ptcked as
Gettysburg's hope. He has been a
big factor in previous victories. The
officials of to-day's game are the
best ever seen in Harrisburg. They
were picked because of their ability
and knowledge of the game.
