Y. ML H. A. TOSSERS GIVE METHODIST CLUB HARD BATTLE--TEGH TO PLAY
LOW SALARIES
IN FEDERATION
Ban Johnson Is of Opinion That
Gompers Docs > ot Favor
Idea; Date For Strike
New York, Jan. 17. Affiliation of
the Baseball Players' Fraternity with
the American Federation of Labor
■would end the present salary system
in professional baseball, by which the
best players now receive thousands of
dollars for their work, opinion
af President Ban Johnson, of the Am
erican League, who discussed here
yesterday the plan to unionize ball
players. He asserted the change would
mean that a union scale of wages
would be paid, both to thestar and
the average player, in accordance with
the amount of money his position
called for. He doubted if tho stars of
the game would make such an agree
ment.
President Johnson recalled that in
the old National League wages were
standardized when owners found it
difficult to pay the large salaries
some players received years ago, and
lie cited the case of McPhee, the
famous second baseman who, he said,
had to be satisfied with the same pay
that players of inferior skill received.
Under the plan at that time. Presi
dent Johnson declared, outfielders re
ceived a certain sum, and intielders, it
was agreed, were to receive another
amount. President Johnson said he
was unwilling to believe that present
day ball players, drawing large salaries
would be content to equalize their
earning abilities with players who just
manage to hang on to the major
leagues.

the actors in the cast and
1 "Birth of rave over their cleverness
I a .\ntlon" and personal charm as it
they were before them on
I the legitimate stage in actual flesh and
, blood.
[ Mae Marsh, who plays "Flora Cam
! eron, the younger daughter in the
Southern household in "The Birth of a
Nation," which closes its engagement
here at the Orpheuni to-nigiit, has, by
her elf-like charm and naive person
ality, attracted many admirers, who
greet with pleasure and enthusiasm her
every appearance on the screen.
Miss Marsh has many fine bits of act- ]
ing in this picture. Among the most en
grossing are the scene in the cellar
with "Miriam Cooper;" the mutting of
".Southern ermine" with raw cotton and
chimney soot; the welcoming of her
brother, "The Little Confederate Colo
nel" back l'rom the war; the pretty
scene where she vainß kisses on her
brother "Ben's" mouth to console him
for the temporary loss of his sweet
heart. "Elsie,' and her sad death in j
her brother's arms.
There is always a touch of comedy or
of pathos when Mae Marsh appears. Her
personality lends itself to fine tempera
mental treatment of any part she plays.
Her expressive, ever-changing, mood
adapting face, is one of the most valu
able in all the long list of film favor
ites.
She was discovered by David W.
Griffith, the producer of so many film
triumphs, long before he made "The
Birth of a Nation."
I
Some of the most absorbing scenes I
ever recorded on films will be present
ed by Lyman 11. Howe at the
I.Tman Orphcum, Friday and Satur
llone day. They depict Sir Doug
las Mawson's Kxpedition to
Antarctica in a manner that far excels
any hunt, travel or exploration pictures
ever obtained. Ilere are just a few facts
which justify this claim. The scenes
were photographed 2,000 miles from
the near< st human habitation in a land
never before seen by the eye of man.
The birds and animals depicted cannot
be seen in any zoo in the world. The j
film shows in perfect photography a j
raging blizzard in the stormiest spot on I
earth—Adeli" Land. Antarctica—where ]
the wind attained a velocity of 216 |
miles per hour. It shows the largest :
icebergs ever photographed. It tells i
the story of a 1,000-mile sledging Joui- |
ney that Is unequaled in the history of |
polar exploration. No other travel pic
tures combine so much real and natural
humor and comedy.
When caught by your parents in a j
compromising situation with your I
school chum and a strange ;
Marguerite young man. Introduce the j
( lark nt chum and the youth as |
the Urgent husband and wife and the
difficulty vanishes into
nothingness. Then, adroitly escaping
with your father and mother, leave the
other two to recover from their embar
rassment as best they may. But before
doing so. It would be just as well to
make sure that the school chum and
the strange young man are not going to
arrive at your own home later ns
guests, for that is apt to start some
very serious complications.
That is the unfortunate predicament
in which "Alice Altwold" found herself
after she had introduced "Bernice Som
ers" and "Cleverly Trafton" to her
father and mother as "Mr. and Mrs.
Gardner" in order to avoid explaining
their presence In a room at the Mar
blend Hotel. Of course, their being
there was all very innocent and quite
accidental, but in a moment of panic
"Alice" decided to lie her way out of
the trouble, rather than to explain the
'facts in the case. That was her first
mistake —others confronted her with
startling rapidity from that moment on
as she tried to cover up the first lie
with others. It all happens in "Miss
George Washington," in which Margue- j
rite Clark stars at the Kegent to-day
and to-morrow.
This is the last opportunity patrons I
of the Majestic Theater will have of
witnessing the
"BJlly" K. Well* snlendid comedy
at the Majestic show there the first j
half of this week. !
"Billy" K. Wells is proving a popular i
number on the bill with his parody I
songs and nonsense, while the Millettes j
provide quite a bit of sensationalism '
with th<*ir excellent head-balancing i
feats. Three other acts complete the
bill. For the last half of the week Dan

BLUE RIDGE HAS
TWO NEW TOWNS
Take in Piedmont and Cum
berland; Re-elect Officers;
Salary Limit
Hagerstown, Md., Jan. 17.—The Blue
Ridge league will become an eight
club circuit. The league officers at the
annual meeting held in the Courthouse
here yesterday decided to admit the
towns of Cumberland and Piedmont to
the league, elected officers for the en
suing year, reduced the salary limit and
acted upon other business concerning
the future of the league.
The question of the salary limit for
the league teams was the subject of
heated discussion because of the poor
flanclal showing made by some of the
teams last year. The moguls decided to
economize in every way possible. The
motion to make the salary limit SI,OOO
a month, including managers, was
unanimously adopted. Colonel Nelson
Russler, of Cumberland, representing
both Cumberland and Piedmont, made
formal application for the admission of
these towns to the circuit. By unani
mous vote of the officers the applica
tions were favorably acted upon. Ap
plications from Johnstown. Altoona,
Unlontown and York, Pa., were reject
ed.
Re-elect Officers
President, J. V. Jamison, Jr., of Hag
erstown, was re-elected president of
the league. Other officers for 1917 are:
Vice-presidents. Colonel J. C. Roulette,
Hagerstown; Colonel Nelson Russler,
Cumberland; F. K. Schmidt. Frederick;
W. H. Fisher, Chambersburg; Dr. J. K.
Meisenhelder. Hanover; G. C. Kimball,
Gettysburg; C. C. Culbertson. Piedmont.
Treasurer, Max Von Schlegell, Martins
burg.
The president was authorized to ap
point a secretary at a salary of S2OO a
year. President Jamison was instructed
to map out a schedule for the season
and submit it to the league officers for
adoption. There will be 98 games play
ed by each team. The following repre
sentatives were present; Hanover, Dr.
J. E. Meisenhelder; Gettysburg, G. C.
Kimball; Frederick. F. K. Schmidt;
Chambersburg. W. H. Fisher; Martins
burg, Max Von Schlegell and L. H.
Thompson; Hagerstown, H. J. Crosson

HARRY FRITZ IS FREE AG EXT
Scranton, Pa., Jan. 17. Harry
Fritz, of Philadelphia, the star third
baseman of the Syracuse team of the
New York State League, has been de
clared a free agent by the owners of
the team. Manager Mike O'Neill, who
led the club to a pennant last year,
confirmed the announcement and
said that Fritz signed up last spring
with the understanding that he was
to be a free agent before the opening
of the 1917 term in the event that the
club would not agree to his terms.
O'Neill said that Fritz wanted too
much money for next season, and the
club owners decided to cut him loose.
ALEXANDER STILL. OUT
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 17. The
difference in salary that stands be
tween Grover Cleveland Alexander and
the Philadelphia Baseball Club does
not promise to be bridged until the
latter part of next month. It is taken
for granted that the great pitcher and
the club will come to terms. Alex
ander can no more afford to stop
pitching in the heyday of his career
than the club can afford'to be without
his services. President Baker refused
to discuss the matter yesterdav, but
it is known that Mr. Baker is willing
to go a couple of pegs higher in sal
ary in order to satisfy Alexander.

Two of the star players are out with

FIX DATE FOR STRIKE
New York, Jan. 17. David L.
Fultz, president of the Baseball Play

20 as the date the players' strike is
likely to become effective.
"The Chicago National League play
ers have been instructed to report in
Chicago on that date to make the trip
to their training cainp at Pasadena,
Cal.," said Fultz. "If the present
baseball tangle is not straightened out
by that time, however, not one of the
eighteen leading members of the team
will move. The other clubs who have
unsigned fraternity players will be up
against a similar situation when they
order mobilization at the training
camps. The players simply will not
budge."

KOXKY ROACH IS HOLDOUT
Johnstown, Pa., Jan. 17. Wilbul
(Ro\ey) Roach, star shortstop of the
Louisville American Association team,
is a holdout and does not expect to
sign a contract for next season tend
ered him within the last few days.
Furthermore, Roach is of the opinion
that there is really something to Dave
Fultz's claims of an approaching
baseball players' strike. The Wlndber
shortstop declares that managers and
magnates of the bigger leagues are
not treating the players square and
cites his own case as an Illustration.
Ro_xey was with Buffalo in the Federal
League. Louisville took him at hii
Federal League salary. The contract
expired last season. Now Roach is
offered a new contract at a big cut in
salary.
