No Changes Occured in Casino Classics Yesterday No changes took place in the leader ship of any of the events in the Casino Classics last night and only one sec ond place was changed. The rolling was of a high order, however, and the results left the Philadelphia teams in the lead. The only record which was lowered yesterday took place in the duckpin doubles, when Carothers and Deshong, Shamokln, replaced Shinkle and Kurtz, Philadelphia.

Pitcher J Herbert Kutz, of this city, Outfielder I Tom Brown, of Reisertown, Md., and ; Shortstop Burns of Brooklyn, are the only three Barons who have failed to return their signed contracts. The Royal Giants of Brooklyn, j a team that has played in tlie South iho greater part of the winter, will I play here Wednesday and Thursday, i April 25 anil 2fi. It is believed the three 191fi Barons are holding out because of salary I cuts. Calhoun has throe good outfielders 'in demons, Orcutt and Reichle and ELVRRISBURG SS&i TEIEORSPH I six hurlers anxious to make a berth. J Short garden Is a weakling. In Cal's II roster at this time. However, he be l lieves his team will be in shape when tho bell is sounded on May 2. SLOW BALI; PITCHERS SCARCE Whai become of the slow ball pitcher? With the passing of Nap Rucker, the slowest ball in baseball j has departed from the big leagues. Jean Dubus, no longer with the j Tigers, was perhaps the leading ex- I ponent of the slow ball in the Amer ' ican League. However Eddie Cicotte, the Yankee Nemesis of the White Sox 'still can pitch his knuckle ball at Various degrees of slowness. dz Grantlanct&ice i (Copyright, 1917, The Tribune Ass'n.) The Peace Producer / When each one does his share— Where each one gives his part, No matter when or where. No matter who may start— When we can let 'em know With confidence and pride, % '(he swap is blow for blow — And something else beside— You'll find that from the bunch Who scorned us, soft and fat, They'll pipe the waiting punch— And let it go at that. About fifteen or sixteen years ago Jim Jeffries had speed, power, bulk, stamina and the punch. The result was that for several years he couldn't get a fight. They let him alone—Where even the loser's end became highly repug nant. But when. Jeff got fat, slow and soft—they hooked him. (>l<l Giants aiul New Some one launched the discussion a day or so ago as to whether the present Giant array was thp strongest club McGraw ever had. There isn't any question of it being a greater machine than the three-time flag winners from 1911 through 1913. The pitching staff doesn't look to be up to the standard set by Mathewson, ,Marquurd and Tesreau. But with Schupp in such rare form, there is no great difference here, for the southpaw, through his finish last fall and his spring start, has shown an effectiveness not to be beaten. In his last eight games from late last August he has allowed but five runs, a record showing. Outside of the pitching, the present Giants are far stronger in the outfield and fully as strong around the infield. They look to be a better balanced club. As to whether they are a greater machine than the Giants of 1905—that brings on another debate. That 1905 array was a nectarine full of juice. But most of that 1905 crowd were slip ping at the time, whereas McGraw's present consignment of talent Is off to a new start. Unless the future is replete with rickety upsets—which It often Is—this Giant line-up now in action should hol'd the right of way to the finish. It is an unusual ball club, with a mixture of skill and power, plus the brand of cool confidence that generally manages to get there. Injuries or accidents would make a big difference, but unless fate is more than passing rough McGraw looks to be well on his way to his sixth pennant—an achievement that no Na tional League manager has ever turned in before. A 1917 Call Some years ago Herman Hagedorn wrote a Harvard class poem known as "A Troop of the Guard." There Is at least one call in that excellent verse which Is more than applicable to present days: "The dawn is upon us, the pale light speeds To the zenith with glamour and golden darts; i >n, up! Boot and suddle! Give spurs to your steeds! There's a nation beleaguered that cries for men's deeds With the pain of the world in its cavernous heart. Ours be the triumphant! Humanity calls! Life's not a dream in the clover! On to the walls—on to the walls — • On to the walls, and over!" As a rallying war cry, this would be exceptionally hard to beat. It might have been written yesterday in place of ten years ago. This country, for twenty years in sport, has taught these things: 1. The value of team play. , 2. The value of long, hard preparation. These two things alone, with any sort of material, are long steps toward success. If the nation in its present circumstances will only apply its teach ings and methods in sport to the larger affairs there will be no question as to the ultimate answer. And the habit and training which sport has developed are bound to count somewhere along the way. As an average proposition, you can generally figure it out that the citieen opposed to Universal Service is the one who has already decided not to do his part. - And the "Let-the-Other-Fellow-Do-It Club" has a pretty fair membership, as numbers go. After all, war isn't very much a matter of sentiment. The bulk of it is efficiency, for those who expect to arrive. And losing isn't exactly the same as losing a pennant or a world series or a football game. Not just exactly. "To decide an argument," writes a Fan, "who is the greater second base man—Herzog or Barry?" The two are much alike. Both were fine shortstops before becoming second basemen. Both are alert, aggressive and on the job. But as Herzog is a trifle stronger on attack, he would undoubtedly get the call. The Giant star is a better hitter and a better baserunner than the Boston leader, and about as good in defensive work. NEW YORK' STATE IMPS President John H. Farrell has an nounced the appofntment of the fol lowing staff of umpires for the New York State L<eague this season: Harry Johnson, of Chicago; Connie Lewis, of Jacksonville, Fla„ and C. H.

I Golf Not an "Amusement" Supreme Court Decision Springfield, 111., April 21.—Golf la a healthful exercise and recreation and not a commercialized amusement, ac cording to an opinion rendered by the Illinois Supreme Court. The decision handed down sustained the finding of Judge Baldwin, of the Circuit Court of Cook county. In the case of Mary A. Condon, widow of John Condon, owner of the once famous Harlem race track, now used as a semipublic golf links, against the village of Forest Park to prevent the payment of a license as an amusement park. When horse racing was driven out of Illinois by the enforcement of the statute against gambling, Harlem race track, after lying idle some time, was turned into golf links, for the use of which a fee was charged by the day. The plan was successful and an at tempt was made to license it as an amusement park. Judge Baldwin held that golf was not an amusement, but a healthful recreation. On appeal the Supreme Court upheld this decision. FAST AMATEUR BOUTS Cleveland, 0., April 21.—Seven fast bouts featured the A. A. U. amateur boxing tourney here last night. Jack O'Dell defeated Eddie Mack, in the 158- pound class, furnishing the feature bout. The results: 115-pound finals, won by Young Rudy; 135 pounds finals won by Johnny Russell; heavyweight finals won by John Kdwards, all of Clevfeland. ENOI.A PLAYS MONDAY The Enola P. R. R. Y. M. C. A. team will play Its first preseason game on the Association grounds Monday after noon. The attraction will be the South ern All Stars. The All Star nine is composed of colored labors employed on the railroad and are all residents of Florida, Alabama and Georgia. They have been practicing for several days in preparation for. the game. WELLY'S gt 'CORNER This was the date set for the open-1 ing of the amateur season in Harris burg. Local players, however, are just as full of patriotism and possible and the games were called oft early in the week. Several managers cancelled out of town games in order to be home for the big patriotic parade. It is very evident, that Manager George Cockill is anxious to better prospects. He reports a fast bunch at Lewisburg but several of the positions are not sizing up satisfactorily, so the local leaders will go on a scouting trip with a view to landing more good men. President J. H. Farrell, of tho New York State League, has picked some good umps for the coming season. There will be two indicator men in BASEBALL SUMMARY YESTERDAY'S RESULTS Xntlonul LfaKne Philadelphia. 4; Brooklyn, 3. Boston, 4; New York, 2; 14 Innings.

New Feature Record Is Feature of National Match Pittsburgh, April 21.—Five seconds were clipped from the world's record for 200 yards breast stroke swimming in the national championship meet in that event here last night when Mike McDermott, of the Illinois Athletic Club, made the distance In a 75-foot pool In 2:39 4-5. The new time repre sents about the biggest cot into exist ing swimming records Inade in recent years, and was possible largely through the elimination of trial heats, the swimmers placing in the final ac cording to time made in the trial heats. Lester White, of the Hamilton Club team, Chicago, won second place, and i J. B. Ward, of the Cincinnati Gymna- ) slum and Athletic Club, took third. The Middle Atlantic A. A. U. cham- | pionship 50-yard swim was won by | Harry Taylor, of the University of Pittsburgh, In 27 2-5 seconds. Honie-nindo Nozzles Art; Costly I The patent laws hit the city of Spokane H back handed slap when it' had to dig up SSOO because a couple j of nozzles on city sprinkling wagons, built by the city, violate the Otiofy patent, says the Spokane Chronicle. The Studebaker Corporation, which | owns the patent, gets the money. The ! city already had settled for two other | wagons and now is in the clear, with ; a rather costly bit of experience on j hand. The nozzles were worth about I S3O apiece. I every game and there should be some clean cut battles. Harrisburg's contingent did not get Into the game to-day as wan expected. The team was out for practice, but rai " "Kain Interfered. The rtrst game will be played next Saturday with _ Bucknell varsity nine. Princeton University yesterday sent in entries for the relay races at Phila delphia. W. B. Moore, the 220-yards intercollegiate champion, will run in the 100-yards race. Nourse, who won the javelin last year, w(ll compete in that event and in the hammer, as will W. O. Wilson. Erdmaxi will compete in the hurdles. King, the Connie Mack castoff, will not play with Hartfsburg. Manager Cockill is of the opinion that he can gret a faster boy. Carlisle Athlete Fast Boy; Equals Thorpe's Dash Record Carlisle, Pa., April 21.—Athletic en deavor at the Carlisle Indian School this week was divided between prep aration for the meet with Dickinson College Wednesday and the selection of men to represent the school at the relay meet at Philadelphia next Sat urday. While the results in the meet were not quite up to expectations, yet some men showed up so well that Coach l levett is very optimistic for the sea son. Special attention will be given to train men for the weight and field events, two departments in which the aborigines were lacking and which caused their defeat Wednesday. Wilbur made the time in 10 seconds flat, which is the record for the Car lisle Indian School, although it has been made by four men. Creswell first established the mark in 1894, and it was later equaled by Frank Mt. Pleasant, and again by James Thorpe, now with the Giants. Wilbur will probably constitute one of the relay team men and may take part in other events at Philadelphia. The other men from whom the Indian' quartet will be selected are Tibbets, Warrington, Spider and May, the cap tain. Routzo will be one of the best dis tance men ever developed here, accord ing to opinion. In the two-mile against Dickinson he won cosily, finishing a quarter of a lap ahead of his nearest opponent and being scarcely winded. His time was 10.8, and could have been bettered had he been pushed. Routzo is a Pueblo. Dickinson Cancels on Park Tennis Club Officials' of tlie Dickinson College tennis team called off the match with the Harrisburg Park Tennis Club, whicfy was scheduled for this after noon. The courts could not be got ten in condition for the event. It is likely that the two teams will clash next month and a second game played on Commencement day, June 2. The courts at Reservoir will be ready for use by next Saturday and the Park officials are trying to arrange games with Lancaster, York and Shamokin. t!* FIRST-because theij-LAST rbldsmiih SPORJJHC vJuaranteod GOODS /L Uniforms, Gloves, \ Mitts, Balls; Etc. -jCK Used wherever Baseball pr \ is played \ / Thm -PEER" of all— \ Goldsmith \ fIH Official League Ball j \ Caaranteed 18 Insists j CnCF DIAMOND/ / IKLL DOPE j / t!uatratM"Howto Pitch"; Pictures / hT / t "Sttra"; Official Playing Rules, / / nd other dope. /* I / P.
