ISLANDERS ARE OFF TODAY—MEET ELMIRA IN OPENING STATE LEAGUE GAME FLYNN AFTER WELSH'S SCALP l Manager For "Pete" Hartley Issues Challenge to Eng lish Champion , Manager Leo P. Flynn, who has , under his charge, Pete Hartley (The New Durable Dane), is after the scalp of Freddie Welsh. In a letter to the Sporting Editor of the HAR RISBURG TELEGRAPH, Manager Flynn says: "I see where Freddie Welsh (who by virtue of his ability to hold and run) is still the world's lightweight champion, has agreed for the sake | of "sweet charity" to risk his title! in fout'-round bouts with Dundee. Willie Jackson, Pete Hartley, and a number of other first-clasß light weights, and turn over the entire gate to the Red Cross Fund. "This, on the face of it, looks; merely like a new excuse to obtain a little new publicity to Manager Pollock's sham chaplon. In the Ilrst place a four-round bout would not 1 draw, as the public would think they were to be treated to an exhibition only. Issues Challenge "Now it Mr. Welsh is sincere in liis offer to the Red Cross and not merely seeking publicity on the 1 strength of patriotism, he will ac- j cept this proposition of Pete Hart ley (The New Durable Dane) whom he( Welsh) run out of a match : with in Cleveland two months ago. and who has shown himself to be a real contender for Welsh's crown by I beating Joe Welling, Rookey Kan sas. and Milburn Saylor ifl the last six weeks. Here is Hartley's propo sition to Dodging Freddie. "Hartley will box Welsh ten rounds for the title in New York or any city in the United States, and will pay all his expenses, to whatever city the match is held in, and will turn everything over to the Red Cross Fund, and, furthermore, as lie has an even money chance of knocking the "staller" out in ten rounds, will toetaoi-'oit.-ll Ogwkto (uSSiv naliA in the event of his winning the championship turn over 50 per cent, of his entire earnings as a champion to the Red Cross fund,during the en lire time the United States is at war with Germany."

Tlie 1917 Color Scheme # Blood and flame — "So the world turns red Where the glow of the game Hovers over the dead; Flame and blood —- Where the red drifts curl And the crimson flood Is an endless whirl; Flame and blood by the hill and stream, Blood and flame in. the dreams we dream, Where out the road that is gushing red The earth drives on to its fate ahead. •Wi,n or lose— That's a whim of Fate — For none may choose When the Red Gods wait # Through the gush and flash From the endless roar Where the great guns crash And the flesh spurts gore: Flame and Mood are the flowers rife That bloom alone in the yards of life, Where out the road that is gushing red The world drives on to its fate ahead. Basehits and Passes Our wandering attention has been called to recent mention of those .400 hitters of 1887. "Don't overlook the fact." writes a noncombatant, "that in those primeval days a base on balls counted as a hit. No wonder they were up there around .440 or such. Where would Cobb or Speaker be to-day if a pass went as a basehit?" There's something in this idea, at that. Speaker last season collected 211 basehits and 82 passes. His average, according to modern ways, was a ! paltry .386. I If Tris had been given credit for his 82 passes, as the oldtimers were, his average would have been lifted to .467. Given credit for bases on balls, Ty Cobb in 1911 would have batted .4 89, in place of .420. , Last season Bert Shotten batted .282. But Bert also collected 111 passes, which under the 1887 system would have lifted the Brownie star up around .400. Quite a difference. Miller Huggins and Donie Bueh would have been .350 hitters the greater part of their careers if free passes had been scored as basehits. Accumu lating a batting average over the free pass route is about as difficult as collecting a meal over the free lunch route. The Veteran In the summer of 1861 a drummer boy, at the age of fifteen, enlisted with the Ist New Hampshire Regiment. Later on he completed the war's span as a cavalryman. This man is still an active force in baseball, and on Wednesday of this week he celebrates his seventy-first birthday. We refer to Frank C. Ban croft, business manager of the Cincinnati Reds and one of the leading fig ures of the professior for exactly forty years. "Old Banny" Old Banny, still a kid at seventy-one,managed the New Bedford club in 1878 and won the New England League pennant. That was thirty-nine years ago. In 1879 he went to and had Jim Mutrie for his team captain. There he turned out Harry SWvey,Arthur Irwin, Lee Richmond, Charley Bennett and A 1 Bushong. In 1881 he handled Detroit, and there he"brought on such stars as Ned Hanlon and Charlie Bennett. It was in 1884 that Banny, managing Providence, won the first world series ever played. His Providence stars beat the Metropolitan champions 6—o, 3—l and 11—2. These games were played on the old Polo Grounds just thirty-three years ago. Banny had Radbourne and Sweeney for his pitchers, two of the greatest that ever faced the wood. In 1891 Banny went to Cincinnati, and for twenty-six years he has traveled the circuit with the Reds and has handled thp cash in over 4,000 , To-day he is still on the job, one of the most popular and one of the most competent men that baseball has ever known—a kid at seventv one. Before Them All Banny was in baseball twenty years before Hans Wagner ever made a big league single, yet the old war horse is still a big leaguer ana around with the cast. You can't beat him. The stars he has made and handled have long since flared up and faded out—-gray memories back across the years Now he comes on East with Matty's club —and Bannv was a manager some time before Matty was born. He is the one man in baseball who has seen the whole parade—a fan from 18t>7 on to 1917 —a stretch of even, fifty years. Fifty years of baseball—and still as keen a fan as any youngster along the forward edge of Rooters' Row. Considerable citizen —Mr. Bancroft. Considerable citizen—plus. FANS MUST DO THEIR BIT WAR TAX PLANS COMPLETE; FREE TICKETS INCLUDED Local baseball fans will be obliged to contributo to the war fund. A tax of 10 per cent will be imposed on all baseball tickets on and after June 1. Even holders of complimentary tickets will have to pay live cents every time they see a ball game free. It means two and a half cents tax on every 25-cent admission ticket sold at Island Park. Manager George Cockill said to ' day "he did not know how the base ; ball tax problem would be worked I out in Harrisburg." He is of the opinion that stamps will be sold and ! holders o£ coupon books will not be I obliged to stop at the gate every day ; and pay the tux. The local man ager would like to see enough books sold and attendance large enough to permit paying the tax. He said: Will Await Killing "I will wait until the law is threshed out. It will mean some complications for a time, but I think everything will come around all right. Until there Is a ruling of some kind no one will be able to tigure out out this tax proposition. Everybody must do their bit. Plans will be lixed by the Major leagues for the col lection of the tax and the miners will fall in line when the time comes." A dispatch from Wash* ington says: "The baseball fan will have to pay 10 per cent, more for his fun alter June 1 than he ever did before. President John K.

Both the National and American leagues ob jected to a tax on the receipts on the ground that the obligation would be so heavy that it would be ruinous to the business. Starts June 1 "After June 1 when the fans buy their tickets at th<* ticket window of the parks they will also have to pay tax of 10 per cent. This is the same system that has been in vogue at Toronto and Montreal in the Inter national League. It means that the purchaser of the fifty-cent admission will have to pay fifty-five cents, the seventy-five cent admission eighty three cents, the $1 rickets will be sl.lO and the $1.50 box seats will be $1.65. "All holders of complimentary tickets to the baseball games will have to pay a tax of five cents and the tax on children under twelve years of age will be one cent. "The National League 3tut called a meeting here of its club owners for Saturday morning. At this meet ing the club owners will discuss the probable effect the war tax wil have upon the game and the probable ef fect of conscription on the vounger players." nan, Buckles, McConnell.

The activities of this league will bo watched carefully by Harrisburg fans as there are a number of local boys holding down jobs in the league. The opening schedule for to-day was Hanover at Gettysburg; Hagers town at Chambersburg and Fred erick at Martinsburg. The openings in each of the towns were ushered in with elaborate programs and parades. Teams Are Strong All of the teams In the league entered the season with strong line ups and although many new faces were seen the manner in which they handled themselves on the diamond indicates a big season for the league. Ike McCord, manager and star for ward of the Harrisburg Independent basketball team is one of the local lads who has signed a contract to play in the league. He will hold down the second bag on the Hagers town team. There are several other Harrisburg ball players in the league.
