12 ISLANDERS PLAY POORLY-UTICA WINS-LARGE ENTRY LIST FOR HIGH SCHOOL MEET COCKILI/S CREW IN POOR FORM Hand Utica Another Victory; Islanders Play Like Rookies; Lack Leader TJtlca, May 12. —Ragged fielding by Harrisburg with Ramsey'* failure to chow form gave Utica an easy vic tory yesterday, score 16 to 6. The Islanders put up an Indifferent game. Downey at third was a big factor In the Utes scoring . Miller lacked his old-time form back of the bat. Ramsey went to pieces In the sec ond Inning:. Keefe, who followed the veteran, had nothing and Tom Cock -11l came In and held the locals until the finish. Harrisburg had a rally In the sixth. Holmes, a new first baseman, who came from Norfolk, joined the Islanders and made a good showing. Bold, who has been hold ing down first sack, will warm up for pitching. The score: HARRISBURG AB. R.

Your Patronage ij Solicited TUESDAY EVENING, &GrantlanctJ2ice Copyright, 1917, The Tribune Association (New York Tribune). Song of the Off-Trail Driftwood, dreamer, vagabond, And all your motley crew, I hereby yield my humble gift To all the drift of you— The frien.dly hail, the grip of hand, That frame the rover's code. And all the luck a tramp might have Along a friendly road. And if by chance there comes a time When you might wish for me A proper share of pleasant fate Across the years to be— What is there more to ask than this, Within this brief abode, A pal or two—a dream or two— Along a friendly road? The Season's Feature With Francis Ouimet booked to enter the western amateur championship at Midlothian in July, this event will be the leading golf feature of the yiar. With Ouimet, Evans, Gardner and Sawyer as a nucleus, the West will take on the proportions of a national championship, so far as golf class is concerned. Ouimet hasn't played in a tournament since ho fell at Detroit before Jimmy Standish in 1915—the year of the Massive Upset, where Ouimet, Eians and gravers were all beaten in a bunch before the championship had hardly gotten under way. In spite of this absence from competitive golf, the Boston star has been playing brilliantly, and will again be a powerful rival for Evans or Gardner to face. Ouimet, so far sis tlie records show, has only faced Evans and Gardner once each. In 1915 he was drawn against Chick in the East-West prelimi nary, defeating the Chicago star lupin a nineteen hole affair. In 1914, at Ekwanok he beat Bob Gardner 9 and 8. So the two western, stars will es teem it considerable bliss to have another shot at the Bostonian's headpiece. \V th Ouinet on hand the Western will have entries who have won two open and four amateur championships. Ouimet has won both the open and the amateur; Gardner has won the amateur twice, and Evans is now in possession of both titles. About Fred Mitchell When the Braves lost control of themselves in 1914, and bubbled from last place to the front, insiders gave Fred Mitchell more than, a small share of credit. When Mitchell took charge of the Cubs this last spring the general dope was that he had tail-end material and faced a famine. He was given a ball club composed in the main of athletes cast adrift, and many of these were injured or dismantled or out of gear. But in place of subsiding gently to the bottom the astounded Cubs under Mitchell's guidance have been playing high class ball most of the way. Merkle and Doyle both have shown they are still a healthy distance from the end of the road, while Rollie Zeider has been playing the game of his hectic young life. The answer is simple enough. Cub material isn't the best in the world, but Mitchell is the type of manager capable of lifting the best from each player's system. And if his pitching staff holds up, the Cubs will be annoying factors most of the distance. A Reading Notice For Jess Dtar Sir: It is true, as reported, that Jess W'Hard the champion, re fused to attend a recent benefit given to French sailors, then he should be blacklisted and blackballed by every decent sportsman, Willard has already proved the most selfish champion we have ever had, and has taken all life out of the game. But this last affair was Just a little too much. It was sufficient to prove that the boxing game had reached a sordidness and a selfishness beyond understanding. R. W. H., JR. With Francis Ouimet entered in the western golf championship, Boston becomes <*to of the leading cities of the hustling West. We understood this war was to change many boundaries, but moving Massachusetts west of Pittsburgh was beyond our inelastic imagination. The Duffer Interjects I know golf's not supposed to be A warlike sort of game; I know it has no booming guns Nor any battle flame; But when. I slice one out of bounds Or hit one in the heel, I know Just how the soldiers In The bomb-swept trenches weel. F. L. F. "Welsh expects to hold on as champion indefinitely." Freddie always does in every fight. HOUSE WRANGLES OVER PROVISIONS IN REVENUE BILL By Associated Press Washington, May 21. Hope of passing the war revenue bill within the nevt two days was not strong among House leaders to-day, partic ularly because the ways and means committee was still toiling over the question of higher second class mail rates proposed by the bill. Even after agreeing on these rates, the committee must pass on the provi sions for taxing advertising, automo biles and musical instruments before the House itself can make much progress. Another meeting of the ways and means committee to-day resulted in no definite decision on second-class mail rates, or the advertising tax. Both will be considered again to morrow. A new graduated second class mail zone rate proposal, rang ing from a cent and a half a pound in the first zone to five cents in-the eighth, received much consideration to-day in committee. It will be per fected and discussed again to-mor row. An amendment to tax raw cotton $2.50 a bale proposed by Represen tative Moore, of Pennsylvania, was Varsity Letter Problem Is Puzzling Athletic Bodies New York, May 22.—A number of the college athletic associations are P'XJLN'S Automobile LUBRICANTS reduce friction, prevent wear, increase mileage, and prolong the life of your car. Aik year d.aU, for thm Outon Lubricating Chart JOSEPH DIXON CRUCIBLE CO. ruled out on a point of order in the House after prolonged and heated debate. Rejection of the cotton tax prob ably means no domestic sugar tax will beadded to the measure. Under the ruling a sugar tax, like the pro posed cotton tax, would come under the head of new subject matter. A rule against the injection of such matter in revenue measures, adopted four a year by the Democrats was the ground upon which the cotton tax was ruled out. Party lines were sharply drawn. Representative Moore contended that such a tax would raise an ad ditional $30,000,000. Arguments against tho proposals were chiefly that it would be as fair to tax wheat, ats, barley, rye and steel as to tax cotton. rr I )r °POsal by Representative Kelly, of Michigan, to strike out the five per cent, tax on automobiles at the factory was rejected by a vote of 85 to 48. Debates then began on the Doremus amendment to levy the tax only on manufacturers earning more than 8 per cent, on their cap ital stock. It was adopted by a vote of 96 to 82. | puzzled over the 'varsity letter prob- I lem this season.

Pitcher Is Hard Loser in Allison Hill Contest; Hangs Up Fanning Record To make two two-baggers on the offense and strike out thirteen out of a possible fifteen on the defense, and still lose the game, was the hard luck of Piatt, pitching for Reading against the Rosewood team last even ing. Score, Rosewood, 2; Reading, 1. Mell's homerun in the fourth with a man on base clinched the contest for the league leaders. Both teams were weak with the willow, a total of seven bingles being all that t'.ie two teams secured. Of the fifteen Rosewood players that were retired by the railroaders, thirteen were by the strike-out route. A little heavier work with the willow would have brought victory for the Readingltes.

If there is to be a team in this sea son's race, and patronage desired, the local leader cannot show activity any too soon. The team will be home Thursday for a two weeks' stay. Dur ing that period Manager Cockill hopes to get his team in the run ning. With one or two exceptions he has the material, but there has been a lack of team work. "Ked" Calboun with his Wilkes- Barre team is coming around in good shape. He, too, had a bad start, but got busy and landed good men. Baseball players ought to be plentiful with two leagues out of business in the South. The war is going to help the game, according to President John K. Tener, and a winning team helps patronage. Ilarrisburg's classic high school meet will be held at Island Park Saturday afternoon. Next to the Spring Carnival at Philadelphia this annual meet is the most important held in Pennsylvania. It is the only event of the year giving high schools a chance to compete for honors in a strictly school meet. Director of Athletics St. John has announced that Ohio State Univer sity will continue athletics so long as there are nine men in the school. His decision came after a conference with members of the university fac ulty and students.

Star Loses Record When Starter s Hat Blew Off Columbia, Mo., May 22.—Students at the University ot Missouri are still discussing the unexpected slow ness of Bol> Simpson in tlie special high hurdle race at the recent relay races of the University of Pennsyl vania at Philadelphia. Bob won his race, but with the unusually slow time (for hint) of 15 2-5_ —4-5 second slower than his world's record and the slowest com petition time he has made in two years. The explanation given' by mem bers of the Missouri mile relay team is that the starter's hat blew off after the men had lined up for the race. Hob obligingly started to re cover it, but the revolver was shot before the Missourian regained his position. He overtook his opponents, it was said, bj running one of the fastest races of hit. life, but of course the timer's watch could not give him credit for that. Reading Is After Herche, Now Property of Montreal Rochester. May 22.—Bugs Herche. baseball pitcher and comedian, has been sold to Montreal on fif teen days' trial.

Les Darcy may not be able to enter the ring again, and according to re ports will not even get a chance to enlist. His condition in a Memphis Hospital is said to be serious.

To-day was an open date and clubs had an opportunity to play post poned games, providing they did not have other engagements. Another new duckpin record wa hung up last night. In a matcfi played on Casino alleys Albert Hob son ran up a score of 257 points. With the exceptions of Hanwtvv all Blue Ridge League teams are go ing a fast clip. Martinsburg leads with Frederick, Hagerstown and Chambersburg close on the heels of the Virginians. Extra inning games are almost a daily occurrence. r.ot prove satisfactory to Dan How ley, Lew Wiltse of the Reading State League club is ready to tako him. This probably means the end of Bugs for Rochester. The Bugs has had a sore arm all season and he was also handicapped with a Hood o fboils in spring training. Although the Bugs was a pretty good pitcher, when right, his big asset with the fans was his coaching. The Bugs cut up a lot of funny aiittcs and his personality was especially pleasing to the bleacherites. The Bugs could go in and pass a hundred and allow a million hits and never a cruel jibe would be made, all of which proved friendship. The Bugs' admirers will wish him the best of luck.
