12 TECH MAKES CLEANUP IN STATE HIGH MEET—HARRISBURG WHITEWASHES STARS SUNDAY GAMES FORBINGHAMTON !No Admission Charge; Owner Loses Money, but Will Continue Plans t Blnghamton, N. Y„ May 28.—George V. Johnson, millionaire owner of the Binghamton baseball team of the New York State league, has answered the attacks of religious people on league games on the Sabbath day by deciding to stage free games on every Sunda>t that his club is scheduled home this season. Under the law in New Tork, 710 game can be staged on Sunday if an admission is charged. I.o*o* Money So far this year, free games have I>een unusually popular in Bingham ton. On the first Sunday, with dis agreeable weather, more than 3000 at tended, while last Sunday nearly 7000 saw Binghamton and Scranton play. Kach free game costs Johnson around 5350. The visiting team is paid a guarantee of S2OO, even though there is not a cent taken in receipts. In addition to that, he must pay his own j team's salar>, and also meet inci- ■ dental expenses. Johnson has been a staunch de lender of Sunday baseball for several , years. He maintains a game properly conducted on that date can do no ] ■harm. Instead, he claims it provides hundreds of men and boys who work : .six days a week with innocent amuse- J ment. It is because of such an opln- : ion that Johnson has refused to com ply with the appeal of the churches to keep his park closed on Sundays. I and which led him to decide to con duct free games when the religious authorities tried to prevent league games at which admission would be -charged. Draft May Check Ravages of "T. B." The selective draft, for which the State government is now preparing under the direction of the Presi dent, may be the means of check ing ravages of tuberculosis among many young men at an age when they are most susceptible. Dr. Sam uel G. Dixon, the State commissioner of health, whose medical -officers have been summoned to sit on boards, says that the examinations of the men called up will be made •with particular effort to see that no persons with suberculosis are ad mitted and that the reports upon the men will enable the State to promptly get in touch with those having the disease. It will enable .the humanitarian agency of the I State to assist persons with incipient f tuberculosis who do not suspect it. ) Dr. Dixon says that observers have ( reported one of the great foreign armies has become infected by the disease and that every effort should he made to promptly recognize and check the disease if found among men conscripted. Dr. Dixon has called upon all persons connected with the examinations to send per sons found afflicted to either their Physicians or a State dispensary for care. GOLFERS HELP RED CROSS Chicago, May 28. Members of the twenty-eight clubs affiliated with the Chicago District Golf Association to-day were asked for a voluntary contribution of ten cents to the Am merican Red Cross for each eighteen holes played during the season. Under the plans announced by the board of directors of the association, each player will have the ten cents charged against him on his house account, and all sums collected will be remitted by the club treasurers monthly to the Red Cross.

Unless Owner Navin or Manager Jennings acts immediately the Tigers will never rise up out of the second di vision and the reason for all the trouble is Tyrus Raymond Cobb, the so-called Georgia Teach. It is no se cret that Cobb is not on speaking terms with a ma.iorfity of the De troit players and things have reached such a pass that Jennings no longer makes any suggestions to Tyrus about haw he should bat or Held. When Cobb quit the Tigers cold in the series with the Giants he decided, too, that he would no longer stay with the Tigers and had his grip packed and was ready to join Cincin nati before he informed Jennings. Jennings naturally took Cobb's part, but right down deep in his heart Jen nings was mad. It is said that Cobb in his endeavor to gain on Tris Speaker in the batting race has thrown all teamwork to the seven winds and lie is going up there with only the idea of getting that hit. This, at least, is the charge made by Cobb's teammates. On the bench the players have no conversation with Cobb and very few words pass be tween the Georgia Peach and Jen nings. Humor has it —but it is only rumor —that Cobb wants the manager's job, as well as his own. but this is not taken seriously by Detroit players. The enemies of Cobb on the team say that the Southerner has decided that he'll play the game to suit himself. Speaker beat him out last season for the batting crown and that hurt the Georgian's pride. He is working under a contract that expires this year and doesn't care whether it is renew ed or not. Vet Detroit is made to suf fer because of Cobb's actions. Williams Signs Contract to Meet "Kid" Herman Philadelphia. May 2S. Peter (Kid) Herman, bantam champion, and Kid Williams, the deposed king of the little fellows, have been matched to meet in a special show at Harry Edwards' Olympia A. A., on Wednesday night. June 13. Both boys agreed to make 11S pounds ringside. No guarantee was given and the combatants agreed to fight 1 for a percentage of the receipts. ! Herman won tho title from Kid Williams on a referee's decision in twenty rounds at New Orleans last January. Since that time Williams has been trying to get a return match with his conqueror and this | will be the first meeting between the pair since the championship engage ment. Outside of a Kilbane-Leonard battle this should prove to be the best match of the season. The match would have been clinched a week ago if the question of the referee could have ben de cided. Williams named his man and Herman selected his, but the rival managers could not agree and they even objected to Edward's choice. Pop O'Brien. But yesterday when they agreed to the terms that de cided to permit O'Brien to officiate. Salary Limit Violations Cause Kick From Scranton Scranton, May 28. Charges that certain teams are violating the sal ary limit again are being made in the State League. It is contended that at least four clubs are evading the limit, Scranton. Syracuse, Wilkes-Barrc and Reading being the towns hit at. Trouble over the ac tion on the part of some managers in disregarding the rookie rule also is springing up in the league. This rule was adopted in view of develop ing more talent, but with some man agers passing it by and others com plying with the regulation, it is ar gued some leaders are profiting by an unfair advantage. i The salary limit violations may de velop into a scandal before the sea son goes much further. Conditions in the league right now are rather bad on account of the way the weather and war have hurt the at tendance and with factional troubles arising it is hard to tell what will de velop before the pennant race comes to an end. NEW TEAMS IN SCHOOL LEAGUE; ADOPT SCHEDULE Lancaster High school was read mitted and Allentown was given a place on the basketball schedule of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association at the spring meeting held in this city Saturday. Other important business includ ed the awarding of the Rennssaeler Polytechnic Institute cup as well as the cup of the News-Times of Head ing to Reading High school, winners of the championship during the past season. The official pennant of the league was also handed over to Pro fessor A. Leßoy Lightner, faculty manager of the Reading High school athletes. The News-Times cup will have to be won three times by any one of the teams of the league to be come permanent property. Central and Reading each have one leg on the trophy. Renewed Rivalry The admission of Lancaster and Allentown will pair off Lancaster and York, ancient rivals, while the same condition will hold for Reading and Allentown. Reading has one of the best teams in the Lehigh Valley, and their admission should strengthen the league in more than one way. Lancaster was formerly a member, but dropped out for one season because of a lack of floor to play on. Those who were at tho meet ing Included Professor P. L.

The part that confidence plays in sport draws additional evidence from the case of Ferdinand Schupp, the Giant lefthan.der. For three years Ferdy sat on the bench as a substitute pitcher. No one thought Ferdy was stood enough to be a regular, so Ferdy thought the same. And, what is more to the point, Ferdy pitched that way. He had fine speed, a fast, baffling curve and pretty fair control, until some critical moment arrived. Then Ferdy's lack of confidence tore him apart. The Start Last spring McGraw couldn't fin.d a pitcher good enough to go five innings. Most of them should have been good, but they were not. So , Ferdy began to be inserted at odd intervals. Finally the southpaw hooked two games in succession. That was all he needed. He had everything else but confidence, and confidence came with those two victories. McGraw made him a regular, an.d from the day he became a regular he was harder to beat than Walter Johnson or Grover Alexander. And this is no figure of speech, for when the present week swung under way Ferdy hadn't lost a game since last fall, and in his last j defeat he only allowed two or three hits and nothing like an earned run. An erratic substitute pitcher for three years, from the day he became a! regular he also became the most effective pitcher in baseball. He was the first of them all to finish a season while permitting less than one earned run to the start in something like fifteen games. Different Type Schupp hasn't the powerful frames of Johnson, Alexander and Ruth to carry him along. He is nothing like as big as Mathewson and Walsh, j Neither is he one of the tall and rangy types. Of average height and average weight, but far smaller than the average pitcher, the Giant star has fine speed and the leverage of a man several inches taller. He has a whiplike style of working. And to-day there isn't a pitcher in the game with any greater confidence or ease. It would be im possible to figure out a quicker or a greater mental change in a man than the change that has come over Schupp in less than a year. Barring some accident, he is almost sure to lead the National league this season, and, if he continues working as he has since last August, he is likely to hang up a record of astounding dimensions. Southpaws This seems to be a southpaw campaign. The two most effective pitchers in the game are Schupp and Ruth, closely pressed by Jim Vaughn. The leading batsmen have been Speaker, Sisler, J. Smith, Roush, Rolke, Burns, i Cobb and Mclnnis—and six of the eight have been lefthand hitters. It isn't far from a cinch hat a lefthand batsman will lead both leagues with the wooden mace an.d that a lefthand pitcher will lead both leagues in effec tiveness or games won. It may be that the war is turning the world upside down, but, whatever the reason, the answer is being written every day. Cricket benefit Those who have long wondered just what sort of game cricket was will have a chance to satisfy their desires if they happen to be near Staten Island on May iO, Memorial Day. On. this date, sorting In the forenoon, the New Tork Halifax Cup team will meet a picked New \ork team for the benefit of the British Red Cross. There will be representative cricket players on both teams and the match j will be well worth watching. How to Pitch Shoot all the stuff, both lean and fat, Your fastest curve—your deepest drop— Till Cobb or Speaker come to bat — Then call a cop. The toughest job In baseball to-day belongs to Bill Donovan Bill as an old pitcher is wise enough to know that each slabman should work at least once every four or five days. Yet here is Bill, with at least eight first-class pitchers on his staff to select from. If Bill works only four men he must leave four on the bench to rust. And the tough part is that any one of the eight is about as likely to win as any of the remaining seven Fate will need an early sUrt this year to chop away the Yankee pitching'staff, what j ever it may do to the rest of the club. How to Putt There's only one good way to putt. To get the proper speed and roll. And that's to tap the bally pill Into the hole. FORI) TO QUIT-GAME Denver, Col., May 28.

Mack has very good reasons for protesting Detroit's victory. In the eighth Innings Harry Coveleski took the mound for Detroit, replacing Car roll Jones, who had given way to a pincli-hitter. It was so dark that the writers in the press stand could not see to write their copy. Umpire Silk O'Laughlin halted play before Coveleski pitched a ball. Sev eral minutes later, the heavy rain clouds began to pass and the um pires decided it was light enough to finish the game. As tho teams re sumed the field. Khmke, instead of Co veleski, walked to the mound. The Athletics did not score on Khmke and Detroit's three-run lead held good. Coveleski had been an nounced as the pitcher, had taken his position on the rubber and, under the rules, should have pitched to at least one batsman before ho could be re placed. Marysville Leaders Lose to Duncannon Sluggers Marysville, Pa., May 28.—1n a slow game Duncannon won from Marysville in a Dauphin-Perry league conflict Saturday by an 8 to 5 score. The nine innings required two hours and thirty minutes to be played. Duncannon in their nifty new uni forms with an American flag on one sleeve, pounded Davis' delivery for eleven hits, three of which were doubles and two triples. These with seven free tickets, one hit batsman, and two wild heaves, netted eight runs. Marysville showed a pitiful lack of spirit after Duncannon secured a two run lead in tho fourth, list less playing on the part of the entire team followed and Duncannon easily increased her lead. Marysville got to Brenner's delivery in the eighth for four runs, which partly revived the spirit. In the ninth the champs Went right after him again. Davis fanned seventeen batsmen and Brenner thirteen. However, Brenner did not walk a man, hit but one, and did not make a single wild heave.

C READING HERE FOR ONE GAME Rain May Interfere; Team Shows Improvement; Shut out Syracuse For the first time In many seasons Harrisburg will be without a lea gue baseball game on a holiday. Heading is scheduled for a game at Island Park to-day. To-morrow Harrisburg goes to Heading for three games, playing there morning and afternoon, Wednesday, Decora tion Day. The team returns for a three days' series with Willces-Barre. Indications were that to-day's game would be called off. Rain fell last night and this morning, putt ing the tield in a bad condition. The forecast was for rain all day, with showers to-morrow morning. A postponement of to-day's contest will add another game to the double-] header list. The Islanders have been showing marked improvement in their work. The addition of Clark at lirst base, in the opinion of local supporters, has strengthened up that position. There is still a belief that Manager Cockill would And it to an advantage to get Elliott at short as soon as possible and put Boley in the out iield. He Is a good hitter and cov ers lots of territory. The pitchers are looming up stronger in each game. Cooper put it all over lluenke, a last season local star, In Saturday's game. Harris burg won over Syracuse by a score of 4 to 0. Six scattered hits were all Mike O'Neill's team could get. lluenke was touched up In three Innings. The work of Harrisburg was highly pleasing. Cockill's crew played all around Syracuse, pulling off sensa tional spurts that dazed their oppon ents. It was the kind of game local sup porters want, and more like It, is certain to bring increased crowds. The score: SYRACUSE AB. R. 11. O. A. E.

' ■ MAY 28, 1917. WELLYS Tech's cleanup in Saturday's meet brought much favorable comment. Coaches Peet and Hill came In for a big share of praise. Success with Mercersburg Academy for many years has been partly due to the large num ber of entries that institution has had in all meets. One or two athletes cannot do it all. Many times a star looms up among the substitutes and surplus athletes. Tech is setting a pace4hat must be followed. Baseball fans showed Increased in terest in Saturday's game. Efforts on the part of Manager Cockill to strengthen his team is an indication that lie Intends to do his part. Clark, the new first baseman 01Y the Harrisburg team, is showing form. He Is a youngster, but full or ambi tion and his work Is that of a player who is lound to make good. If he continues to show the form exhibited in Friday's and Saturday's games, he is sure of a permanent Job. Local fans are complaining because of Manager Cockill's absence from the field. Ho attends the games, and watches every play, loiter he holds a conference with his players. This is not all the fans want. Manager Cockill would bring a big boost to the game if he would get out in uniform. He has an able leader In Veteran Doc' Cook, but his presence Is also needed. Inquiries have been numerous regard ing Manager Cockill's absence from the bench. Baseball Is far from being a paying proposition in Harrisburg at present. To date the weather has not been fa vorable, and a long series of warm' days Is necessary for a real test on the question of Harrisburg's baseball future. There should be an average attendance of not less than one thou sand each day and 3000 on Saturdays' to make the game pay. With Har risburg's population and reputation as a baseball town, the daily attendance should not be less than two thousand, with at least four thousand on Satur days. In the go-off, Manager Cockill did not get a strong boost. Aid that was Stage Is Set For Big New York Battle Tonight New York, May 2S. —One of the most important ring fights staged here In weeks will take place to-night when Freddie Welsh, lightweight champion of the world, meets Benny Leonard, his principal rival, in a ten round bout before the Manhattan A. C. Kid McPartland, the man selected as referee, has been undergoing a spe- j cial course of training himself. Welsh's work in the recent bout with Johnny Kilbane at the Manhat tan was so disappointing that a ma jority of the fans expect to see Leon ard either score a knockout or at least outpoint the little champion by so wide a margin that Pollock himself will admit It. Welsh will probably outweigh Leonard by several hundred karats. He is more likely to tip the beam around the 138-pound mark than at 135, while Leonard figures to come in a bit below the lightweight limit of 133 pounds. With McPartland in the ring to keep the boys on the "high" all the time, Welsh will not get a chance to do so much hugging and clinching as usual, even if he is so inclined. But the Pontipridd lad declares that this time he is going out to do his bit with Leonard, and that he is going to keep | Benny so all-fired busy that the Bronx |' boy will look like a man with a honey I shampoo swatting flies In the sum- I mertime. Leonard has been putting the skids] under all his opponents during the I last half dozen fights he has had, the last four going down for the ten | count, and he seriously believes he will help carry Welsh to his corner | before the bell clangs for the last round.

North. expected, after his wonderful work Inst season in producing a wondarful team from a tail-end aggregation, was not forthcoming, in Elmlra eignt hundred coupon books were sold, an. association organized and sufficient funds raised to guarantee all expense# for the season. Reading businessman came to the front and made baseball a certainty in that city. In other towns funds permit managers to go out and get players to strengthen ft their teams. Everybody appears to b6 doing his bit except in llarrisburc. According to Secretary Frank Sels of the Harrlsburg Club, only sixty coupon books have been sold In this city. There have been many promises of help after the weather warms up, and war conditions permit people to think of something besides what is going to happen next in the war zone. Manager Cocklll has confidence In his team and says he Is willing to wait for a short time. He added: "Give me t lie crowds and I will furnish the kind of baseball Harrisburg wants." That Harrisburg has sent many athletes to the front is proved by the depleted amateur und semiprofesslon al baseball ranks. One year ago it was a regular Saturday occurrence to see the open fields and baseball dia monds occupied by from twelve to fifteen teams each week. Thus far this season there has been from two to four games each week. Teams like West End, East End A. A., Train men, Midway, Paxton A. C., Belmont A. C. and Harris Park, are having considerable difficulty in getting games. Each week local amateur and pro fessional teams show changed line ups. The manager who can hold his players together must keep busy and' count noses dally. What Harrishurg needs is a federation of amateur teams. With such an organization managers would know just where to find their players .when needed. Due to war conditions and the uncertainty scriptionufon. elseth-ahaiKTAOINK of the future for local players of conscription afte, the organization of a federation of local teams is out of the question now. It will come later.
