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."

The Harrisburg Academy nine fell
before the Conway Hall aggregation
yesterday afternoon on the Academy
grounds by the score of 7 to 0. The
game was well played until the sixth
inning when with a batting rally the
Conway lads scored six runs. It
was the only bad inning of the game,
but it proved disastrous for the up
town team. Conway scored its other
run in the eighth inning.
On Saturday afternoon the Acad- |
emv nine will entertain the Halifax j

grounds and the second Academy
team will go to Chambersburg to

here last night. Battling Levinsky,
light heavyweight champion, out
boxed and outfought Bob McAllis

finish Levinsky was the winner by a
wide margin. Last night's winner

# 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.

Ituns scored, Strait, Murphy, Bran-
■ tionai Lci?ue, stated yesterday that
jtlie war tax as levied is satisfactory,
to club owners, for, instead of levy
: ing a tax of 10 per cent on the gross
receipts, as was at first suggested, the
fans will now have to pay the tax
when they purchase their tickets of
admission at the parks. 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."

BLUE RIDGESTART
Many New Faces in the Lea
gue; Local Boys Hold
ing Jobs
Another shell burst in flie baseball
world this afternoon when the Blue
Ridge League teams pulled away
from their moorings and launched
out into the 1917 baseball sea. 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.
Eddie Hooper and Country Mor
ris the only managers who were held
over from last season with but few
exceptions presented the same line
ups as last season and the other
teams will be almost entirely new.
Cycle Races Transferred
to Pottstown Mile Track
The Harrisburg Racing Associa
tion has transferred its race, which
was to have been held on Decoration
Day at Lancaster, to Pottstown. ow
ing to a ruling made by the Federa
tion of American Motorcyclists pro
hibiting a twin-cylinder machine
from participating in a race on a
half-mile track.
The Pottstown track is one of the
best mile tracks in the state and
is now being placed into condition
for the big event. In addition to the
motorcycle races officials of the track
are arranging a dealers' sweepstake
for race horses. The event will be a
free-for-all and a handsome prize
has been placed should the track
record be broken.
The horse racing will start at 1
o'clock and will be followed by five
events for twin-cycle motorcycles.
The cash prizes for the victors will
be big. The five-mile amateur twin

and $4. Prizes of $25, $lO and $5
have been offered In the ten-mile
professional twin-cylinder race. The
same prizes will be awarded in the
five-mile side car race as in the five
mile amateur. The big event of the
afternoon will be the 25-mile profes
sional twin-cylinder race, .the prizes
for it being listed as slol>, SSO and
