First steps toward cutting down the num • ber of players with which to begin the State League season have been announced by Manager Mike O'Neill, of the Syracuse Stars. Mike did not rattle any tinware but he said that Pitchers Bachler and Sabln, Catchers Chapman and lnigan, and Outfielder Hessmliler have no chances of mak ing the team. O'Neill has been driving his play ers at top speed these last few days and the class is beginning to show. Warner and Pickup are still having a close run for the job in right field. O'Neil Intends to carry them both to Syracuse where a game or two in fast company will probably help him decide which one will be awarded the regular position. Keating is still on the hospital list with an Injured knee, although he in dulged in light practice yesterday. The rest of the Star regulars are in excellent condition and are eagerly waiting lor the starting gun. With tin exception of right field, no new faces will be seen on the club when it lines up against Wilkes liarre next Wednesday. O'Neill seems *luite satisfied with the players who helped win last gear's pennant and contemplates no changes. Only three more days of practice remain. The Stars will get away Friday night for Syracuse.

Something new has been discovered in motor-car achievements. Something never before attempted, never before done by an automobile. To set a mark of 586.8 miles through Chicago's busy streets was a feat in itself. But to do it all on high gear. To make it a non-stop motor run. To carry four passengers. And to show 14 miles to the gallon of fuel. Adds the cap sheaf of surprise. When Chalmers started out to It has set its seal upon the facts, attempt the feat they said: "Let You can have this flexibility, this us make this complete.

SUSTAINS MOHAN PROTEST President Tener, of the National League, has allowed the protest of the Phillies against Umpire Brans field's decision in the Boston game, which the Braves won, 6 to 5, and ordered the game played over. This reduces the Phillies' list of defeats by one game and takes one victory away from the Braves. The game will be played over as part of a double-header on the Phillies' next visit to Boston. The disputed game occurred at Boston on April 17. In an early in ning the Phillies made five runs, but during the rally Lavender was called out by Umpire Branslield for run ning out of line. Davender, thinking he had been forced at second base, cut across the diamond to return to the bench. He finally heeded the yells of the coachers and reached third base, as Second Baseman Mas sey had thrown the ball over the head of First Baseman Konetchy. The Braves finally won the game by 6 to 5. Manafeer Moran protest ed the game on the ground that Lav ender should not have been called out, as he was not trying to avoid a fielder when he was declared out. 'APRIL 28, 1917. WELLY 5 if* CORNER Philadelphia division shooters were without a match to-day because of the cancellation of the foundry team of Altoona. Two weeks ago the Mountain City shooters won from the local team, and a challenge was issued for a match in this city. It was to have taken place to-day in ] connection with the big system shoot. Harrisburg Telegraph readers last night received much exclusive inter esting sport news through the Sport Extra. There will be more doing as the season advances. Amateur games played to-day promise much interest. While the i weather is a little too cool for com fort, a number of local teams will be out for their first game. Harrisburg athletes are prominent to-day at Philadelphia. Records made last year by the local high schools showed some fast boys.

He has the contracts from Leo Houck and Bat tling Levinsky for a match at York on May 16. Jimmy Lavender took the Giants into camp yesterday. He brought victory for the Phillies and stood McGraw's team on their heads. They looked like amateurs when they came to bat. Manager George Cockill returned home to-day with a hope that local merchants would respond to his call for a hearty co-operation in. making baseball a success this year. A half holiday on the opening date would bo a big boost for Cockill's grew.
