JOE WACXER GOES TO GIANTS
New York, Feb. 1. The Giants have
acquired the services of Joe Wagner,
the utility infielder of the Reds. Wag
ner was sent to Montreal by Charles
Herzog. then manager of Cincinnati,
last spring, and was recalled in the
autumn. He did not return to Matty
and it was proposed to end him to
Kansas City.
When waivers were asked recently
John McGraw stepped in and claimed
him, as he is anxious to fortify the
team with experienced utility men.
Charles M. Schwab Gives
Cripple Crisp S2O Bill
Atlantic City, Feb. 1. A tiny
cripple on a wicker stretcher which
was being propelled along the Board
walk yesterday caught the eye and
won the ready sympathy of Charles
M. Schwab, and as a result one of the
charitable institutions for invalid chil
dren in Chelsea will receive a substan
tial check.
While Mrs. Schwab waited in her
chair the steel magnate spoke to the
nurse and the little sufferer. The lat
ter's eyes grew large as saucers when
he examined a crisp paper Mr. Schwab
pressed into his hand as he turned
away. It was a S2O bill.
SIGHT TROOP TRANSPORT
New York. Jan. Feb. 1. Four
large steamships having the appear
ance of passenger vessels and escorted
by two warships, were sighted Janu
ary' 29 off Sable Island, N. S., by offi
cers of the Dutch steamship Zuider
dijk, which arrived here to-day from
Rotterdam. From the fact that the
ships were steering in an easterly di
rection and were evidently from Hall
fax the officers said they got the im
pression they were carrying troops. I
FOLWELL AGAIN
ON PENN'S LIST
| Athletic Committee Lifts Ban
on Popular Coach; Joy
to Students
Philadelphia. Feb. 1.—"Bob" Folwell
lias once more come into his own, and
the savior of Penn football is almost
certain to be seen as head coach of the
Red and Blue footfall team on Frank
lin Field next fall. After refusing to
ratify Folwell as coach for next sea
son on the grounds .that his actions
during the past season had reflected
discredit on the university, the faculty
committee on athletics yesterday, in a
three-hour session, decided to restore
j Folwell's name to the list of proSpec
-1 tive coaches for next season.
| This practically means that Folwell
I will bo ratified by the football commit
' tee within a day or so. and that his
1 ratification will be approved by the
faculty committee. The statement given
j out by Dr. Goodspeed, chairman of the
j university faculty committee on athle
| tics, after yesterday's meeting was as
1 follows:
la Again Eligible
• "At a meeting of the faculty com
mittee on athletics, at which various
! interests were represented, Mr. Fol
i well being present, it was voted that
■ Mr. Folwell's name oe restored to the
(list of tentatively-approved candidates
for next year's football coaches."
The action of the faculty committee
rcame as a decided surprise to the sup
i porters of Folwell. as well as to the fae-
I tion which had previously supported
| the action of the committee. Every
j member of the committee attended the
! meeting yesterday, including John C.
Bell, the representative of the board
1 of trustees, who came from the South
! for the purpose.
Folwell Explains
| "It has been a terrible mixup,' he
declared, "and the result of a misrepre
sentation of facts. So far as 1 am con-
Icerned, my relations with the football
j committee, and with everybody at Penn
sylvania. will be on as high a plane as
they were during the past season. I
want to retract anything I ever said
about cliques or the "old guard.' for I
sincerely don't believe that any man in
connection with athletics at Penn is
prompted by any motive other than the
■ good of the university and Its institu
tions. We are going to get together
and put Penn on the map as has never
been done before. The students, the
football committee and the faculty
, committee are now back of me, and,
J with the confidence born of that fact, I
jam going to deliver the goods with a
j championship football team next year."

PRESIDENT J. H. FARRELL
Syracuse, Feb. 1. The meeting of
the New Y'ork State League here yes
terday was a veritable love feast,
changes in the constitution were rec
ommended and it was decided to
lengthen the season. Utica was given
until February 10 to sell out or turn
over the franchise to the league. A
banquet was held last night in com
memoration of the twentieth anniver
sary of the league.
The constitutional changes provide
that no club shall have more than 14
players thirty days after the season
starts.
Formerly teams were given two
weeks. Clubs using players not sign
ed to contracts will have victories
thrown out. but losses will stand. No
tice of terms accepted, must also be
filed within ten days after the ar
rangements are agreed upon between
player and owner. The staff of official
scorers will be appointed by the pres
ident.
It was decided that a special book
of tickets for 20 gate admissions may
be issued to boys under 15 years at
$2 per book. Ladies' days will be
every Tuesday and Friday. The
league decided to have a double um
pire system this year and that the um
pires must be on the field 30 minutes
before the start of the game.
Double Headers Start
No double headers will be played
within 30 days of the opening of the
season. No club can be compelled
to play more than one double header
to the series except in the last series
when the president shall make the
arrangements. The game guarantee
this season will be $75 rain or shine.
Not more than four exhibition games
may be played with leagues of higher
classification by each team. Water
town has written the president ask
ing that teams be sent for exhibition
games during the Jefferson county
fair September 4 to 7. inclusive.
The season will open April 24; and
close September 9. The schedule com
mittee meets in Harrisburg in March.
Speeches were made at the banquet
by John Evers, of Boston Braves;
Frank Seiss, of Harrisburg, and other
members of the league. President
Farrell gave a short history of the
league.
York Team Loses to

The star quoit team of Camp No. 8,
P. O. S. of A., last night defeated the
crack pitchers from Camp No. 309. of
York, score, 5 games to 2. The visi

Shelley, a prominent businessman of
that place. A large crowd witnessed
the contest.
The pitchers for York were: Coch

This meeting was also featured by
the inspection of Company B Pennsyl

R. A. mil. of Ashley, district com
mander.
Major Dill announced the promo
tion of Frank Lindsey, formerly first
sergeant of Company B, to captain of

MAJORS TO MEET
FOR CELEBRATION
May Clash Over World's Scries
Plans; Other Bule
Changes
New York. Feb. I.—Organized base
ball is getting set for an old-fash
ioned celebration when the two major
leagues meet here the week of Febru
ary 12 for ratification of the 1917 sched
ules. The wraps will be taken oft to
celebrate the wake over the corpse of
the baseball players' strike. It is even
hinted that Charles 11. Ebbets intends
to square himself with the vox populi
for its slight involved over his cham
pionship banquet of sixteen plates dur
ing the annual National League meet
ing In December.
Banquet or no banquet, the schedule
meetings should develop a little bit of
fun. Of course, the schedules of the two
major leagues are as good as adopted
now. But with practically all of the
players worth while gone over to the
owners there remains certain problems
to be cleared if the coming season is
:to fulfill its promise.

REGENT—"A Coney Island Princess.'
We have often stopped and wondered
why it was that so many of our chil
dren never seemed to
"The tilrl have a chance. Are our
Vlthuut children always to
a Clianee" blame? Is it not every
father's and mother's
sacred duty to see that their child has
all the advantages that will benefit
them as they grow older in years? But
think how many of the parents are
themselves to blame for the defects
mentally and morally of their children.
When a young girl fails to find en
couragement or consolation under the
paternal roof, naturally she will seek
it elsewhere; and when she finds it, no
matter from what source it comes, she
I places herself into those arms of con
solation without giving a thought to
the future and when the parents learn
what has happened to their child, then
only do they awaken to the situation
and see where the blame lies that their
child was one of those unfortunate
girls without a chance. Observing the
Rossibility of this theme, Whitney Coi
ns built around it this play "The Girl
Without a Chance." which comes to the
Orpbeum to-morrow, matinee and
j night.
I "Mother Carey's Chickens." drama
tized from Kate Douglas Wiggin's tre
mendously popular novel.
"Mother which begins an engage-
Cnrey'a ment at the Orpheum next
| Chicken " Tuesday and Wednesday
and Wednesday matinee,
has a character said to be mere capti
vating than "Rebecca of Sunnybrook
Farm." "Nancy." who is one of the
four children of "Mother Carey," is the
winsome, bewitching, optimistic girl,
who will take the popular heart by
storm. The character is bound to make
a strong appeal to women and girls
and the immense popularity of the
book is sufficient proof to venture the
opinion that "Nancy." as well as
"Mother Carey." will live long in the
hearts of the theatergoers.
"A Dream of the Orient." said to be
one of the season's biggest vaudeville
spectacles, will be the
"A Dream of feature attraction at
the Orient" the Majestic Theater
at Majeattc the last half of this
week. The act centers
around a young man who smokes a pipe
I of opium in Chinatown, and what fol
lows is supposed to be a dream—a
dream that is said to be a bewildering
conglomeration of feminine beauty,
elaborate costumes, grand opera sing
ing and sensational dancing. Surround
ing this attraction are: Macart and
i Bradford, young couple in a comedy
variety skit, entitled, "I-ove, Honor and
[Obey;" Lillian Calvert, pretty girl sing
ling popular songs; Lazar and Dale, two
I men in a blackface singing, talking and
dancing act. and the Novelty Clintons,
in a comedy Jumping act.
D'Avino's Bard, said to be "the finest
concert band In America." will be in
Harrisburg on Saturday
O'Avino's night of this week.
Band This band comprises the
select players from D'Avi
no's famous band of fifty, and is con
ducted by Signor A. D Avino. This
leader has arranged a program of al
most Inconceivable beauty, made doubly
effective by his original and unique in
strumentation. Each member of the
band is an artist and all are soloists.
The program includes classical, stan
dard and popular selections, blended to
suit all tastes. With grand chimes,
xylophone, harp, Egyptian trumpets,
etc., in addition to the more common
solo instruments, there is sufficient
variety to entertain everybody, and at
the same time, the artistic rendition
will meet the approval of the most
critical.
D'Avino's Concert Band will be at the
Stevens Memorial Methodist Episcopal
Church. Thirteenth and Vernon
itreets, Saturday evening, at 8 o'clock.

To-inorrow only—the sensational

really does exist in spots.
Dozen Ships From Phila.
Dae in Restricted Zone
Philadelphia, Feb. 1. Germany's
declaration for unrestricted naval
warfare thus far has had no effect on

Franconia, interned here since the
war began, has not been increased.

INSIDE HISTORY
ABOUT MEXICANS
Dr. Frederick Monscn, Ex
plorer Explains Some Causes
For Present Troubles
Dr. Frederick Monsen, explorer anil
lecturer, last night told many interest-
ing' things about Mexico.
His acquaintance with Madero, Car
ranza and Villa gave hiin much valu
able information which lie related
during a lecture at the Technical high
school auditorium under the auspices
of the Harrisburg National History So
ciety.
His subject was "Turbulent Mexico"
and was divided into two parts, "lico
nomic and Political Causes For the
Revolution", and "Scenes From Mex
ico."
Dr. Monscn told of his acquaintance
with Madero, and now he, a man of
wealth, took up the Peon cause. Ma
dcro was classed as ft dreamer leading
a cause that will not down. Dr. Mon
scn characterized Carranza as a man
of good character, but not strong.
Obregon is the power behind the throne
