KRAFT TO PLAY
AT WILKES-BARRE
Big First Sacker Contract
With "Red" Calh> un; After
Other Stars
Kraft, the eccentric first sacker, who
Played with the Harrteburg- Inter
nationals two years ago, will play with
Wilkes-Barre, this season. lie is con
sidered one of the headiest men in
the baseball game, but it is said his
eccentricities keep him out of the
major leagues. A dispatch from
Wilkes-Barre says:
| 'Manager John C. Calhoun made a
big step forward in the rebuilding of
the Wilkes-Barre baseball team when
lie concluded negotiations for the pur
chase of First Baseman Kraft from
the Milwaukee club. Kraft was one of
the beet first sackers in the minor
leagues and should effectually plug the
ghastly, yawning chasm at first base
that has so disgusted local fandom the
past three seasons.
Was With Clymcr
"Kraft was with 'Billie' Clymer's
Louisville team the early part of last
season and was used by him in a trade
for Jay Kirke. Clymer last evening
stated that Kraft was an ideal fielder,
a heady placer and a timely batsman
who should be in the .300 class in the
York State League. He declared that
Calhoun was to be congratulated on
landing the player and that he should
greatly strengthen the Barons in every
department of the game.
■■"Kraft finished among the first four
lirst sackers in the fielding department |
last season. He played in 134 games |
and smashed out 14 4 hits for an aver
age of .275 and scored 81 runs. He
made 25 two-base hits, 10 three
baggers and S home runs. He made
"5 two-bases and sacrificed 23 times.
After Other Stars
"The sorrel-topped manager intends
ttv have a winner if it is in the woods
and is being loyally backed in his
efforts to recast the team by the club
owners.
"The fact that Wilkes-Barre is to
have its first real first baseman since
'Snake' Deal was dropped will be re
ceived with satisfaction by the fans." j
Only Test to Players Is
Eligibility to Contract
Cincinnati, Ohio. Jan. 9.—The na
tional baseball commission yesterday
held that the only tests that should be
applied to the engagement of a minor
league ball player upon his willing
ness to play for a salary within the 1
prescribed limit of the club desiring |
his services should be his eligibility'
to contract. Any other restrictions!
imposed by league legislation are held
arbitrary and subversive of the na
tional agreement rights of the player
and therefore are null and void.
In announcing the ruling the com
mission says: "The National Associa-
officials and members will be
helcTTo strict account by the commis
sion if this ruling is not respected and
enforced."
The ruling was rendered as a result
of the resolutions adopted by the na
tional board at Xew Orleans reciting
that the Muscatine club of the Central
P, Association had subscribed to and ]
voted for a rule prohibiting the em- 1
ployment of more than five veteran !
players on its team.
In this resolution the national board !
said the Muscatine club had subscribed |
to it in 1915, but had resisted its en- i
i'orcement in 1916, and concluded the I
resolution as follows:
"Resolved. That it is the sense of
this board that Manager Egan, of the
Muscatine club, has appeared before |
the courts of baseball with unclean j
hands, and be it further resolved that
this board further decline to nlace its '
stamp of approval on the winning of j ■
pennants by such unfair and unsports- '
manlike methods." 1 ]

ing to guarantee $9,000. it was an- I
nounced to-day. The offer was made
through Harry Sandager, of Paw
tucket, R. 1., a member of the United |
States Football Association council, I
who recently returned from Denmark! i
The national and international games :
committee of the association will sub- ! i
mit the Danish proposition to the < i

TINKER INSISTS ON PLANS
Columbus. Ohio, Jan. 9. Joseph I
erstwhile manager of the Chi- ! 1
cago Nationals, arrived in Columbus
yesterday preparatory to attending a
meeting of the minority stockholders
of the Columbus Association baseball !
club to be held to-morrow. It is re
ported Tinker intimated that unless !
the stockholders agree to his reorgan- 1
ization Vlan he will withdraw his bid
for the stock. Local baseball enthusi
asts refuse to take this report seri
ously, the general opinion being that
Tinker is very anxious to gain control
of the Columbus club. Garry Herr- i
mann. of Cincinnati, chairman of the
national commission, also was in Co
lumbus to-day, but would make no
statement. j

Johnny Tilman Outpoints
Buck Fleming in Six Rounds
Philadelphia, Jan. 9.—Johnny Til
man, the Minneapolis welterweight,
outpointed Buck Fleming in the wind
np at Olympia last night in sr fast and
exciting encounter that went the limit
of six rounds. The weight announced
for the men was 138 pounds and they
looked trained to the minute. Tilman
perhaps a trifle too fine. They were
not long getting together and in the
very first round Tillman cut loose like
a wild animal, and, after staggering
Fleming three times, he dropped him
to the floor with a clout on tho jaw
that sent Buck down for the count.
Buck showed the generalship of a vet
eran fighter, for he weathered the
storm magnificently, and was in good
shape before the round ended. He
made a wild rush at Tillman just be
fore the bell rang and when Johnny
sidestepped him Buck almost pitched
head foremost out of the ring.

Aviator Dead, but Plane
Sailed on as Usual
Berlin, Jan. 9. Replete with dra
matic incidents are the reports just
published of the late Captain Boelke,
the famous German aviator, who
brought down forty aeroplanes dur
ing his service ended by his death on
October 29.
One of the most striking incidents is
included in an Overseas Agency sum
mary as follows:
"I wondered at the stubbornness of
the enemy," wrote Boelke, "consider
ing that he must have been finished a
long time ago; but he continued to
circle in the same fashion. Reason
told me the man must be dead and
that the machine was being maintain
ed in its right position onlv by the
rubber band at the helm. Therefore
I approached closely and saw the oc
cupant of the machine leaning toward
the right side, dead. The aeroplane
bore the number 7495. The horrible
picture left me unshaken. I let the
man alone and attacked the next
one."
An example of chivalry reported in
Boelke's book is to the effect that
after having encountered an adver
sary Boelke made several "rounds of
honor" over the place where his
enemy had fallen. A "round of
honor" among aviators is a mark of
courtesy to a fallen brave enemy.
Boelke himself decorated the place
where the enemy aviator had been
buried with military honors with a
i bunch of red, white and blue flowers.
One of Boelke's most remarkable
qualities was his respect for an
enemy and he repeatedly used
phrases like the following:
"A British aviator really flew home
at a height of 100 meters above our
trenches. He was a smart chap. This
is not likely to be done by another."
LADY WHO ADVERTISED TOWN
When Binghamton, N. Y., desired to
attract neighboring citizens to the
town, a young lady was selected to
visit other towns and see what made
them attractive, boosting, at the same
time. Binghamton. The result of her
experiences are published in the Janu
ary American Magazine and the writer
of the fact, says:
"Miss McCormick declares that her
work was the most educative of any
compaign she ever tackled. She
would be justified in setting up shop
herself on the strength of the knowl
edge she gained.
" 'Won't you give us a list of some
of these things you learned about
people?' asked a merchant. 'We can
use 'em in our business.'
" 'Sure,' replied Miss McCormick,
with her most dimply smile. And this \
is what she wrote down:
"1. Keep human: business depends
on the human equation.
"2. Courtes# is the first law of
business.
"3. The knowledge of a woman's
name is the open sesame to her con
fidence.
"4. Don't expect interest if you are I
not ready to show it.
"5. Artistic display of goods is half I
the sale.
"6. Every dollar invested in a good I
clerk will return a hundredfold.
"7. A good location is money in the
bank.
"8. Variety is the spice of shopping.
"9. Price, style and quality are all
greatly to be cherished, but the great
est of these is style.
"10. It Is not always the butterfly!
who buys the most goods."
CHARTING THE ARMY'S FEET
To a layman, the records of the in
spections of the feet of the various
militia regiments stationed on the
border last summer are astonishing.
For example take the specific case
of the Sixteenth Pennsylvania Infan
try. Out of 1,087 men Inspected only
290 sound feet were found. Four
hundred and seventy-six men were
wearing shoes too small. The Six
teenth Pennsylvania sported 760 corns,
7C2 ingrowing nails. 613 bunions, to
say nothing of such esoteric maladies
as "exostoses," "pronation," and "hal
lux valgus," of which latter misery
there were 590 well developed cases.

sylvania got over the ground tit all.-*-
