Both teams ran wild on tho bases, the Sophs stealing seevn while the Seniors pilfered three. Boyer, Fort na, Wlngard and George Bender each secured a pair of bingles for their teams.

But the fields of France are thick With the graves of English dead. There used to be an old saying that the Game of Elfe didn't consist of holding a good hand, but in playing a poor hand well. But the game of life to-day consists of holding a good hand and playing it to the last bet. Why? "Why," asks a reader, "should some ball clubs be more brittle than others? In age, condition and physique there is no great difference. Why, for one example, should llie New York Yankees be more easily hurt than the New York Giants or the Boston Red Sox?" Perhaps there is an answer attached to this query, and perhaps there isn't. Life is replete with quaint, odd little angles beyond the limited hu man ken. And this is one of them. All we know is that the records show that certain clubs are constantly broken up, while others rarely are. And the records fail to go in for reasons. They stop at the bleak barrleado of facts. It has been suggested that major league clubs cut down their forces to seventeen men. If this move is passed the Yanks will need conscription and a quota of volunteers to complete the schedule—provided no sudden change arrives in the allotment made by fate. If the armies of Europe had suffered the same wounded list in propor tion to Yankee injuries last year, over 8,000,000 men would have been re tired in one season. And this isn't a guess or a random remark. By holding on to the Hon. Stuffy Mclnnis the season's records begin to indicate that Mr. Mack's dome of thought was working in its usual fancy fashion. The Hon. Stuffy is so far beyond Collins, Baker and Barry that the latter three can't even see his dust along the winding Highway of Swat BARONE WINS OX POINTS Pittsburgh, May 15.

Y., May 15.—Harrisburg came through yesterday with another victory, defeating Utica. score 11 to 8. It was "a weird contest. The Islanders walloped the ball and made a victory certain when six runs were scored in the fifth inning. The other feature of the game was the loose manner in which the visitors played and won out. They had 10 errors chalked up in the miscue column. I Bunched Hits Count Bunched hits in tho opening frame brought a trio of runs. Just to be ! liberal the Cockill crew let the Utes have two in the second in order to make the game look like real base ball. Two innings of tight pitching by Cooper and Fergueson brought 110 scores for each team. The fourth 1 inning was Even Steven, bunch hits! figuring in Harrisburg's rubs, and errors in those scored by the Utes. Ynndiuiis Comes In Fergueson went out and Vandnais came in. He lasted only two innihgs when Frank Brower switched posi tions with the youngster. It was anything but a baseball game until the finish. The weather was cool and not to the liking of fans.

The I MAGNATES POSTPONE TALK ON LATER SEASON START; TO COME UP NEXT FALL New York. May 15. ln giving to the press !ro results of the special meeting held by tne National Lea gue in New York on Saturday, Sec retary Heydler stated that tho sub ject of starting the championship season later than the date decided upon by the major leagues for tho lust ten years was broached by two of the magnates. While the matter did not develop any extended dis cussion nor were any details brought out, there was a majority opinion against such a move. Mr. Heydler said by general consent the matter was deferred until the annual meet ing of the league in December, when It will be thoroughly discussed from every angle. An Old Question This is an old question that has forced itself before the councils of both leagues on numerous occasions in tho past, but the weight of facts has always been against delaying the opening beyond tho middle of tho second week of April. To prove the postponements due to bad weather this year do not ejtceed those of past seasons the following figures are given covering the last live years, inclusive of 1917: The total number of games post poned in the National League this year, including last, Saturday, were twenty-seven. In the same period BELGIAN MINISTER POK PEACE, STOCKHOLM SAYS Stockholm, May 15.—Emile Vander volde, the Belgian Socialist leader and Minister of Munitions of Belgium, is quoted by the Social Demokraten, the Stockholm Socialist newspaper, as de claring that he supports the peace conference to be held in the Swedish capital by the Socialists. M. Vandervelde Is In Stockholm, and is said to have attended as a guest a meeting of the Scandinavian commit tee. Othe guests who attended the session, the report says, were Camille Huysmans, secretary of the Interna tional Socialist Congress; H. 11. Van Kol, Socialist member of the Dutch Parliament: M. Roubanovitch, long a representative of the Russian Social ist Revolutionary party in Paris, and Jeppe Borghjerg, tho Danish Socialist leader and' editor of the Copenhagen Social Demokraten.

Keystone motorcyclists report 12 I entries to date for the big races on the Lebanon Fair tracK on Decora tion Day. Local cyclists have been holding these events annually, and large crowds attend from aU over Pennsylvania. This year there will be new aspirants for honors. Temopt- I ing prizes are offered. I in 1914 and 1916 tho identical num- I ber of games were postponed. On ! the other hand, in 1916 only thir j leen games were prevented by bad weather and in 1915 less than half i the games of this year; only twelve were postponed up to and inclusive l of May 12. Of course, the weather ; in 1915 was exceptionally open and j forward and in that year neither St. , Louis nor Cincinnati had a postpon ed game. Sonic localities Favored Even in the worst years there are always localities tflat are specially favored. For instance, in 1914, when I this year's record' of twenty-seven postponements was equaled, there was not a single postponement at St. Louis and only oiw In Chicago. St. ! Louis has been greatly favored by | early spring weather. Only five ] games have been postponed in the Mound City in the last five years, and three of these were this season. Pittsburgh also has been highly fa vored, as only nine games have been | postponed in the Smoky City in five I years. As a matter of fact, statis tics prove that the West in more fa j vorcd by spring conditions than the I East. In Chicago and Cincinnati in the same period thirteen games in each city have been postponed, as against eighteen each in Philadel phia and New York, sixteen in Bos- I ton and nineteen in Brooklyn. Interesting Schedule For Harrisburg Academy Players Coach Phipps, of the Harrisburg Academy squad, has planned the fol lowing schedule: On May 19, Gettysburg Academy, at Gettysburg; May 26, Columbia High School, at Columbia; June 2, Tech nical High School, at the Reservoir Park. The team is: Robert Shrelner, captain; Karle Bortell, Robert s\er cur, John Lynch, Dana Gurnett, Cleve land Hicks. These men may be challenged and the person winning two out of three sets takes the player's place on the | team whom he defeats.
