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.

Lebanon, Pa., April 30. Ar

At last it has come about. George M. 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.
