Ban John son, president of the American League, announced yesterday that the annual meeting of the league will be held at Hotel Lasalle in Chicago on December 12. One of the chief topics of discussion at the meeting will be the demands made by the Players' Fraternity. The players are said to have banded them selves firmly together 10 prevent any thing like the cuts in salaries that are predicted with the demise of the Fed eral League. Several magnates have announced their intentions of taking a generous slice out of the salaries of players whose war-time contracts expire this year. There are only about 25 players in both leagues who hold contracts for 1917. The others will refuse to sign new contracts, it is said, unless the fraternity is granted its re quest for a new form of contract. FAVORS THIRD BIG LEAGUE Chicago, Nov. 21. Ban Johnson, president of the American League, "would not oppose" the formation of a third major league, he said yester day, when recent gossip concerning such an organization was brought to his attention. "In fact," said Mr. Johnson, "I rath er like the idea." As Mr. Johnson was the foremost foe of the Federal League his attitude was regarded with unusual interest." Cities suggested in connection with H third league are Baltimore, Buffa lo, Newark and Toronto, Toledo, In dianapolis, Louisville and Milwaukee. The plan as at present discussed is to raise these cities to major league standing by placing them outside the draft. £M22L\ 18 cli.each, 6 lor 90eta. Ctactt, Pea body jfc Co., Inc.

Navy Has Secret Practice; Will Keep Busy Two Days Annapolis, Md., Nov. 21. • Under .Lieutenant Ingram, the Naval Acad emy squad began its final preparations for the army game yesterday. Prac-, tlco was secret, except for members of the Navy contingent, and practical ly the whole regiment of Midshipmen [ was present, the Navy lads encourag ing the team by yells and songs. This will be continued during the week. The Midshipmen will practice here to-day and "Wednesday afternoons and Thursday morning, and will have an opportunity of working out on the Polo Grounds on Friday and perhaps Saturday morning. It Is definitely decided that barring accident or some other unexpected de velopment tho baekfleld, which will commence Saturday's game will he- Quarterback, Whelchel; halfbacks. Perry and Ingram; fullback, Roberts. All are members of the new fourth class and only Roberts, who played at Colgate, has had doubt that each momber of tho quartet possesses much football ability, but one of the dangers which the Navy will have to face Is that the youngsters may loose their heads, The officials of the service game will be, Referee Lungford, Trinity; umpire F i Murphy. Brown; headllnesman! Marshall. Harvard; field Judge, Evans, W ill lams. HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH A. A. U. APPROVES SEASON RECORDS Will Permit Professionals to Act With Board of Managers New York, Nov. 21. One of the oddest things that has happened in the annals of the Amateur Athletic Union took .place yesterday at the annual meetings of the organization in tho As tor Hotel, when the delegates decided that it was all right to have profes sionals on the board of managers of the body which controls amateur sports in this country. Some of the leading lights of the A. A. IT. can hardly be classed as "Simon Pure," and there was an element in the asso ciation which wanted to see them put under the ban. One of the prominent members in the Metropolitan district who would have gono by the board would have been Herman Obertubessing, the lian dicapper of this association, for he gets ten cents for every man whose handicap he makes. The committee on the revision of the constitution pro posed that none other than an ama teur should sit in the councils, but the delegates voted down tho amend ment. Of course, those on the outside looking in may laugh at tho fact that the professionals are allowed to work the destinies of the amateurs who are disqualified if they run in a novice meet twice. Approve New Record Among the records passe*, favor ably upon by the body was that made by "Ted" Meredith, former captain of the Penn track team, who created a new intercollegiate 440-yard time last Spring of 47 2 -'5 seconds. Binga Dls mond, of Chicago, was credited with the same mark later, but this was dis allowed because tho track was found to have been short. Bob Simpson's record of 14 3-5 sec onds for the 120-yard high hurdles, made by the University of Missouri hurdler, was accepted, as was the two mile indoor walking mark of George H. Gouldlng, of Toronto, 13 minutes and 37 seconds. The new fifteen-miles walking mark of 2.06%, made by Edward Kense at Celtic Park. New York, was rejected on account of indifferent timing. Dave Caldwell, Boston Athletic Association, who was credited with 1.13 1-5 for 600 yards, at Newark, N. J., will not have his mark accepted because there was no border around the track. The committee also rejected the time of 24 2-5 seconds for a 220-yard low hurdle around a turn made by Fred W. Kelly, Los Angeles, as no en try blanks or programs were printed in keeping with laws governing the running of events. WALTZ BEATS PHILA. BOY Lancaster, Pa., Nov. 21. ln the final bout of Frankie Erne's club last night between Billy Waltz, of Lancas ter, and Harry Sullivan, of Philadel phia, the Lancaster boy forced the light winning four rounds, the second and fifth being even. Dave Shank, Lancaster, bested Dutch Shaffer, Waynesboro, in a bout that went the limit. Allen Putt. Lititz, defeated Dick Gotwald, York, in a fast bout, drop ping his opponent in the third and fourth rounds. Charley Wright and A 1 Mason, colored, rivals, went six rounds to a draw. Dutch Kid Lewis, Lancaster, beat Kid Hackman, Roths ville in six rounds. FLEMING HOLDS WELSH Philadelphia, Nov. 21. Buck Fleming, of this city, was able to hold Freddie Welsh, lightweight champion of the world, to an even break in six fast rounds in the final bout at the Olympia A. A. last night. Welsh won the first two rounds, and the last two were even, but in the third and fourth Fleming made a great rally out pointing the title holder. Suppose Fatimas were NOT Sensible It isn't possible to fool men for long. Lincoln said that | better than we could. <fl Surely, if Fatimas were not as comfortable to the throat and tongue as we say they are ] —if they did not leave a man feeling keen and "Jit" after a long-smoking day—do you suppose that more Fatimas would be sold every day than any other high-grade cigar- | ette ? Remember these facts as you try Fatimas and observe how comfortable, how sensible they really are. ; Ox ' A SENSIBLE CIGARETTE MINORS FINISH ANNUAL POWWOW Hand Down Several Decisions; Explains Muscatine Decision New Orleans, La., Nov. 21. The board of arbitration of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues finished consideration of dis puted cases and adjourned. Decisions announced included: Claims allowed —Terre llaut.e award ed $2 5 from Duluth; Player Gilmore vs. Lawrence, Mass., club; Minneapolis awarded S3OO from Winnipeg: St Paul awarded $29.65 from Scranton, Pa. Players awarded—Catcher Snyder awarded to Brooklyn, claimed by Ma con, Ga. Claims disallowed Pla> J er C. F. Parker vs. Lowell club; Player A. L. Walter vs. Hagerstown. Md., club; Player Clare Seneff vs. Raleigh, N. C.. club. Players Gus Iletllng and W. 11. Rapp, of Wichita club, refused pe titions that they be declared free agents. Board Decision Regarding the arbitration board's decision In the appeal of tho Musca tine, lowa, club of the Central Asso ciation. Secretary Farrell stated that the board's refusal to reverse the Cen tral Association's ruling against Mus catine's claims for the association t en nant in 1916 did not necessarily mean that Marshall town, also a contender for the pennant, would be declared the winner. The action, it was explained, was in the nature of a recommenda tion, the final decision being left to the association officials. The Central Association, it was stated, threw out certain games won by Muscatine in which it was alleged the club used so-called "veteran" players, players who should be on teams of higher classification, and which was declared a violation of the association's rules. Marshalltown claimed the pennant. Army's Final Big Drive Prior to Saturday Contest West Point. N. Y., Not. 21. The findl big drive for the Navy contest is now in full swing in the Army's camp. The soldiers resumed their gridiron work yesterday afternoon, going through two hours of hard, grinding maneuvering, with the coaches push ing all hands to the limit. All varsity men were in their positions, except Vidal. The Cadets' star halfback was in the Springfield game Saturday longer than any of the other varsity men and the mentors permitted him to rest to-day. His i>laee behind the line went to Ford, who has been shifting back and forth for a fortnight between the backflcld nntl wings. Oliphant and Place were the other backs, with Gcr hardt at Quarter. Daly tried out all his reserve string of quarters to-day. A suitable sub stitute for Gerhardt is being sought from among Kilburn, Johnson, Mur rill and McNeil. Stenzel, who has been guiding the Cullum Hall eleven, from which the Army recruits its ma terial for the big squad, was taken over to the varsity to-day. He, too, was tried at quarter. Murrlll's poor work last week makes it uncertain as to who will go in if Gerhardt is un able to play throughout tho game. ENTERTAIN CHESS CHAMPION F. J. Marshall, the American chess champion, played 14 games at the Engineers Society of Pennsylvania last nighttt W. R. D. Hall in a consulta tion game drew. W. S.

WELLY 5 1 CORNER | Three big games Saturday, Tech vs. Steelton, Harvard vs. Yale and Army vs. Navy. Tho game In this city will decide the triangle contest. Tech has won from Steelton,. score 14 to 0, and tho Central games resulted 0 to 0 and 36 to 0 for Steelton. The proposition for a third league looks good to baseball fans. It may not come this year. There Is also a probability that the International League may undergo'a shake-up and be placed on a major leaguo basis. Altoona High will be in the field next year with a football eleven. For eight years there have been no scho lastic games in Altoona. With the reurn of the Mountain City boys to the gridiron game Harrisburg elevens will have a chance for new games. As was expected, Tech lias broken oft athletic relationship with Williams port High. Central took similar ac tion two years ago. It is said that Wllliamsport wanted to get into the Pennsylvania Interscholastic league this season. While the action of Tech nical High athletic officials will re -1 ceive a strong endorsement, it is tho i belief that Williamsport should have had a chance to be heard. It is also the belief that, having known of the 'treatment accorded both Central and Steelton High, the Tcch officials should Motion Pictures One of China's Greatest Needs Dr. John J. Mullowney of the State Department of Health has just re ceived a letter from his friend, Tong Shing Kow, who greatly de-plores the death of General Hwang Using and is gratified to refute the story of the distinguished Chinaman's |assassination. Mr. Tong states in his letter to Dr. Mullowney that General Hwang was accorded the greatest honors, the president of tho Republic having issued a mandate ordering the flags at half mast throughout China. He was buried in the national ceme tery and a bronze statue was ordered erected to his memory. Mr. Tong speaks of many import ant enterprises which were under way in connection with the dead general and which will now have to be held in abeyance until he can return to China. He says: "Thero is one project which I sincerely hate to have delayed in its accomplishment and that is the mo tion pictures for China. Tho more I study the possibilities of the motion pictures, tho more I am convinced of China's great need in this respect."

Birdseye, of Hartford, In a talk i about the value of newspaper adver tising before a conference of general agents of the Mutual Benefit Lire In surance Company, of Newark, at the Marlborough-Blenlieim said: "The indirect results in the estab lishment of public confidence In life insurance and in the office which had something new to say on that subject every morning in the newspapers for seventeen years cannot be computed. Insurance cannot be sold like ready made clothing, but It needs advertise ing, nevertheless. I know of an in stance where a two-page dry goods advertisement sold $75,000 worth of goods the next morning in Harti'ord." RECORD GAINS IN POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS DEPOSITS Washington, Nov. 21.
