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.

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.

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.
