Syracuse Stars; Play
Utica Today
Harrisburg will be home this week
for a series with Syracuse. The first
game is scheduled for Thursday aft
ernoon. Manager Cocklll starts to
day on another scouting trip. He
is anxious to have the team in a
winning stride before the games with
Reading next week. He has confi
dence in the ability of the pitchers,
who In his opinion have not warmed
up properly.
On Saturday Syracuse adminis
tered a whitewash to the Islanders,
score 6 to 0. Taylor allowed but two
hits. At Syracuse yesterday two
games were played, the Stars taking
both.
Errors Prove CosUy
In the first game. Huenke and
Shields held the Islanders to four
hits and Syracuse won out, score 3
to 4. Errors by Cook and Harrison
were costly. It was another white
wash for Harrisburg in the second,
score 4 to 0. Adams pitched a good
game but received rotten support.

Radiating the spirit of joy and naturalness—imbuing all her portrav-

"The Girl Philippa,' it is said, reaches Hie highest point of her dramatic
achievements.
She has beauty—she has poise—she has magnetism. She is dainty in

and control of delicate emotions—her ability to register her feelings and
thoughts so as to convey them across the screen, her rare grae<* of bodv

The entry list was larger than in any

not be guilty of any unsportsman

Has Plan to Burn All
German Crops to Starve
Nation Into Peace
Birmingham, England, May 21.
i A plan to destroy the German crops
! by setting them on lire by means of
; fireballs dropped from Entente air
planes is suggested by L,or<l Cal
thorpe, a former member of the
British army who has given much
: thought to tho food situation
j brought about by this war. Lord
C'althorpe married a daughter of Og
; den Hofmann Burrows, of Newport.
! It. I.
Lord Calthorpe's proposal, made
j known through letters to the news
papers in London and other cities of
j England, has attracted a great deal
:of attention. While many methods
. for bringing Germany to terms by
i the starvation route have been sug
i gested, no such theory as Lord Cal
thorpe's had before been broached.
"In the Rhine Valley and districts
1 within reach of our aircraft," he
! writes, "there are vast tracts of land
i planted with grain, the fields touch
i ing one another, and without fences
or hedges. Similar conditions exist
near the Russian frontier of Ger
many and in the plains in Hungary.
"Fireballs dropped from airplanes
| would, if properly constructed, de-
I stroy thousands of acres, as the
| crops become much drier than in
i Kngland, and with little risk to the
; Inhabitants, otherwise noncombat

among the fields are rare.

Dauphin-Perry Teams Move
With Speed; Thrills in
Local Contest
League games proved interesting
Saturday, and those played by ama- |
teurs and semi-professionals fur
nished many thrills. In the New
York State league superior work
brought victories for Reading, Bing

; The work of the winning pitchers
was evidence that the game is get
ting better.
In the Dauphin-Perry league
Marysville had a close call with
Halifax winning a score of 3 to 1.
Davis won his game by special work,
holding his opponents to three hits.
King Lear was touched up at inter
vals by Newport but won his game
over Dauphin, score 6to 1. Dauphin

Riderless Horses Used to
Recruit Australians
Sydney, New South Wales, May 21.
—W. M. Hughes, the Prime Minister
of Australia, addressed a mass meet
ing of 20,000 here this week, appeal
ing for recruits. While he was speak
ing some troopers of the Light Horse
led into the square fifty horses, with
out riders, carrying cloths inscribed:
"Who will fill an empty saddle?"
Mr. Hughes pleaded: "You are
| living: you are Australians: your
country is in danger. God will be
with you."
Within ten minutes every horse
had a rider, and the jangling bits
and clatter of hoofs roused the
crowd to a state of intense excite
ment. Before the meeting adjourn
ed, a larger number of recruits had
been enlisted than at any similar
meeting this year.
NEW MEXICO. MISEI'M BUILT
LIKE INDIAN MISSIONS
The new museum building In San
ta Fe, N. M., which is being con
structed under the auspices of the
School of American Archaeology at a
cost of SIOO,OOO, is a fine example
of the results of a movement in the
Southwest to preserve, as far as pos
sible In new buildings, the distinc
tive features of the Indian architec
ture of the region. The new structure
is an enlarged replica, in reinforced
concrete, of the brick and stucco
New Mexico state building at the
San Diego fair. It combines the pic
turesque characteristics of several
famous missions, reproducing the
balustraded recess of one, the facade
of another, and so on. It bears spe
cial resemblance to the ancient Span
ish mission church at the pueblo of
Aeoma, N. M.—a massive building
of stone, timber and stucco, having
walls 10 feet thick in some places.
The museum will serve as a state
civic center as well as an appiopriate
shelter for rare archaeological col
lections.—From the Popular Me

Otis Skinner's new play, "Mister Antonio," is one that calls ff>r no great

It is said that local

' seeing one of his performances. The

LITTLE TH EATER PROSPERS
IN MID-WESTERN TOWN
Those concerned with the advance- |
mcnt of art in the drama will be in
• tcrested in knowing that Galesburg,
an Illinois college town, is support-
I ing its "little theater" in a note
worthy manner. Popular Mechanics
Magazine describes this unusuul in
stitution, which is owned, managed,
and directed by local men and wom
en, and in two years has built a sub
j stantial foundation for further de
velopment. It is fittingly known as
the Prairie Playhouse and has be
come a democratic community enter
prise that is backed by the good will
of hundred of citizens. .When prop
erties are needed for its s"!|'ge, they
can be obtained from practically any
home In the town. Box office receipts
during the theater's first season paid
expenses. The past winter, It is in
ferred was even more encouraging.
The aim of those actively connected
with'the venture is interesting. The
hope is eventually to organize a
strong group of players and bring
about the dramatization of unwrit
ten stories of life in the upper Mis
sissippi Volley.
PROSPECTORS USE A
STOVE FOIt VENTILATION
A novel method adopted by some
Ingenious prospectors in Montana
for ventilating their prospect holes,
Is described in the Popular Mechan
ics Magazine. When they have dug
to such a depth that fresh air no j
longer circulates freely to the bot
tom of the hole, they set up an air
tight stove at the edge of the shaft,
putting up three or four lengths of
stove pipe for a chimney and run
ning another pipe from the bottom
of the hole to the air intake at tl\e I
front of the stove. The latter pipe i
is held in place by fastening it to ]
, the shaft timbering. When a fire is I
i built in the stove, air is drawn from j
■ the bottom of the shaft and fresh
t air circulates downward to replace it. |
Ventilation can be secured in this,
way to a considerable depth.
WAY 21,1917.
! GERMANY IS
MUCH CHANGED
BY IRVIN S. COBB
We liavo got to remember that the
Germany with which we have broken
is not the Germany of Heine and
Goethe and Haeckel and Beethoven;
not the Germany that gave us Steu
ben in the Revolutionary war, .-rl
Slgel and Scliurz in the Civil war;
. not the Germany of the sentimental,
chivalrous, lovable Saxon, or yet
of the music-loving home-loving
Bavarian; not the Germany that was
the birthplace of the kindly, honor
] able, industrious, patriotic German
speaking neighbor round'the corner
from you—but the fanatical, tryran
nical, power-mad, blood-and-iron
Prussianized Germany of Bismarck
and Von Bernhardt, of the Crown
Prince and the Junkers —that pas
sionate Prussianized Germany which
for forty years through the instru
mentality of its ruling classes—not
necessarily its Kaiser, but its real
ruling classes- —has been jealously
striving to pervert every native ounce
of its scientific and Its inventive and
its creative genius out of the paths
of progress and civilization and to
join it into the grooves of the great-
I este autocratic machine, the great
! est organism for killing off human
j beings, the greatest engine of man
j begotten and misdirected efficiency
1 that was ever created in the world,
j Because we have an admiration for
I one of these two Gernianys is no
| more a reason why we should abate
• our indignation and our detestation
i for the other Germany than that be
cause a man loves a cheery blaze
upon his hearthstone he should re
fuse to fight a forest lire.
We have got to remember another
thing. If our oversea observations of
this war abroad have taught us any
thing, they should have taught us
that the German army—and when I
say army I mean in this case, not its
men but its officers, since in the Ger
man army the officers are essentially
the brain and the power and the mo
tive force directing the unthinking,
blindly obedient mass beneath them
—that the German army is not an
army of good sportsmen. And that, I
take it, is an even more important
consideration upon the field of bat
tle than it is upon the athletic field.
Asthe saying goes. the Germans don't
play the game. It is as inconceivable
■ to imagine German officers going in
I for baseball or football or cricket as
! it is to imagine American volunteers
; marching the goose step.
| The Germans arc not an outdoor
j race; they arc not given to playing
outdoor sports and abiding by the
I rules of those sports, as Englishmen
j and as Americans are. And in war—
that biggest of all outdoor games—•
| It stands proved against them that
: they do not play according to the
| rules, except they be rules of their
i own making. The German is a greedy
| winner and he is a bad loser—a most
remarkably bad loser. Good sports
men would not have broken Belgium
into bloody bits because Belgium
stood between them and their goal:
good sportsmen would not have sung
the Hymn of Hate, or made "Gott
Strafe England!" their battle cry;
good sportsmen would not have shot
Edith Cavell or sunk the Lusitanla.
(iood sportsmen would not have
packed fhe helpless men and boys of
a conquered and a prostrate land off
as captives into an enforced servitude
worse thart African slavery: would
not wantonly have wasted La Fere
and Chauny and Ham. and a hundred
other French towns, us they did last
month, for no conceivable reason
than that they must surrender these
towns back Into the hand of the
enemy; would not, while ostensibly
at peace with us, have plotted to de
stroy our industrial plants and to
plant the seeds of sedition among
our foreign-horn citizens, and to dis
member our country, parceling it out
to a brown race in Mexico and a yel
low race in Japan. Good sports do
not do these things, and Germany dfd
all of them. That means something.
