STATE LEAGUE TO OPEN WEDNESDAY Managers Start Weeding Out Today; Rookies May Make Game Fast Weeding out surplus material is in order to-day and to-morrow in New York State I.eagtte. On Wednesday the twenty-first pennant race will start and managers do not care to carry more than sixteen men. The opening day schedule follows: Har risburg at Elmira, Wllkees-Barre at Syracuse. Scranton at Utica, Reading at Blnghamton. Due to the fact that all managers are cutting down expenses this year, and youngsters will ne numerous, a fast game is looked for. There will be veterans, too, and they will have to look after their laurels, according to a general belief. First New Rule While there is a new rule that clubs will not be allowed to take players from higher leagues on an option, the way this rule has been twisted, bent and broken indicates that it is nothing more or less than a paper rule and that the league offi cials do not intend to enforce it. Harrisburg, Elmira and Reading managers have paid no attention to the rule and have taken players from the major leagues ad libitum. There has been some complaint against the violation of the rule, but it has not been very stubborn objection and the chances are that the rule will pass out of use for the reason that man agers won't obey it. The start of the 1917 race will find the circuit better balanced than ever before, despite the fact that there are many untried ball players under con tract. Reading and Harrisburg are considerably stronger than they were last year. George Wiltse has obtained players from the major leagues and George Cockill has been weeding out the old timber and replacing it with new blood which promises to deliver. Jimmy Jackson, who is leading the Elmira Colonels this season, has strengthened the club by the help he has received from Pat Moran, man ager of the Phillies. Amby McConnell has been trading nnd selling players right and left at Utica, and he expects his club will show a much heavier "punch" than it did last season and that the Utes will be in the running from start to finish. Bingoes Look Strong Chick Hartman, at Binghamton, has a mighty fine-looking ball club on oaper. While Calhoun left him a good club, the new Bingo pilot has made several changes. Some of the old re'.iables, among them Big Bill Kay. leading batsman of the league, are holdouts, but Hartman expects to have his regulars in the line-up when the curtain goes up. Mike O'Neill, who romped off with a pennant for Syracuse last year, lias made but few changes. O'Neill fig ured his team last year as "one of the strongest the State League ever had and he looks for the Stars to repeat this season. Bill Coughlin has added considera ble strength to the Scranton Miners. The club appears much better bal anced than it did last year. Manager Calhoun, of the Wilkes- Barre Coal Barons, has been having trouble get'.ing a line-up. Calhoun has rebuilt the Browns, but the train ing season developed the "phenoms" Into "lemons." He has also been handicapped by some of the regulars, who have refused the salary offered them and joined the holdout class. Ban Johnson Believes Draft Will Not Interere New York, April 30. President Johnson, of the American League, who 's in this city, said that while he had no assurances from govern ment or army officials, ha has rea son to believe that if the proposed conscription law becomes onerative it will not be applied to the olavers on his circuit until the season ends in October. "All of the American League teams," sa'd the league executive, with the exception of the Boston Red Sox, have become proficient in mllltarv tactics, and President Fra zee intends to push the drilling of his team vigorously. General Barry knows all about the efficiency of our earnest and patriotic players, who want to become real soldiers so that they can ably fight, for the United States army. The players, who are great athletes, will make splendid soldiers. "I expect to see all the unmarried ones in Uncle Sam's army next fall, as they will be kept at work drilling under the command of apmy serg eants until autumn." Berry to Leave Penn to Become Army Aviator Philadelphia. April 30. Pentath lon champion, J. Howard Berry, of Penn, is going: to San Diego, Cal., tp become a member of the United States army flying school corps there. Berry announced Saturday before the start of the relays that he would leave college this week. .Then he went out and took a fourth place In the javelin throw and was on Penn's two-mile team wich won the Ameri can collegiate championship. He ran a beautiful race. On the pre vious day Berry won the pentathlon title for the third straight year. Berry is captain of the red and blue baseball team and will resign his po sition this week. The noted Phila delphia athlete says he will stay tn the army until after the -war is over. IJH; TRACK MEET AT I.EBAXOX Lebanon, Pa., April 30.

Cohan, America's most popular star, in motion pictures. Having reached the very lop rung of his theatri cal ladder of success not only as an actor, lint as an author and producer, George M. Cohan has finally turned to the silent drama as a new Held of conquest, so to speak. In order to display his very best efforts before the motion picture camera, the famous "Yankee Doodle Boy" selected his greatest stage him. "Broadway Jones," as his initial vehicle in the motion picture field. The widely heralded motion picture debut of George M. Cohan takes place at the Regent Theater to-day. 'Broadway Jones, his greatest stage | success, alTords him his initial screen vehicle in which he is supported by an excellent cast, including such well known film favorites as Marguerite Snow, of "The Million Dollar Mystery" fame: Russell Bassett. thV veteran character actor of many screen successes: Crawford Kent and Ida Darl ing. Ever since the early days of the motion picture, George M. Cohan has been approached o.v rarious big motion picture interests with flattering offers, but it was not until a few months ago that he llnallv decided to bianch out into this Held. At the head of his own companv. he commenced activities in the motion picture art with the same enthusiasm and energy that has marked his great success in theatricals. "It was not because I have underestimated the potency of the motion picture nor its great popularity and the fact that it has come to stay and exert a great 'nfluence on the life of the people that kept me from the camera heretofore." said the popular sctor-autlior-producer rerentlv in con nection with his tardy decision in becoming connected with the motion pic ture field. "I have been so very busy with my theatrical affairs that I never felt I had the time co devote to it which I knew was quite necessarv in order to make the big success it demands. Now that I am in the game, I am giving it my very best efforts, having studied it from every angle." "Broadway Jones" is here for three days only.
