THURSDAY EVENING,
C&C&mtlsnclJ&ce
Copyright, 191", The Tribune Association. (New York Tribune).
Up at Frederlcton, New Brunswick, a few days ago we saw two Scotch
Highlanders, uniformed to the last kiltie stitch, coming down the street.
One had a bin glove and the other n baseball but. At the first vacant field
they began morning practice. If baseball Isn't the army game, even In
Canada, then all sign* rail. This was only on.o stray sample of baseball
interest throughout Canada, even with 600,000 men at the front or point
ing that way.
ARMY (JAMES
So far football and tennis have proved to bo the main army games, as
far as enlisting goes. Most of those who have enlisted have played baseball
of some sort, but. this doesn't Include the mayor or minor leaguers.
Very few golfers have enlisted—almost nono of any standing—which
leaves golf and prize ring about 50-50 back in the rear.
Among the first ten or the first twelve golfers In America, not a one has
entered the service.
Among the first ten or the first twelve prize fighters in America, not a
one has entered service.
Of the first ten tennis players In America, eight have either entered or
have tried to go.
You can take these plain and unadorned observations and make your
own deductions. Or, maybe there are no deductions to make.
TROUBLES OP AN EXPERT j
Up In tho Canadian fishing country, along certain New Brunswick]
streams, a violent argument broke out between Colonel W. O. McGeehan
and Professor Maximilian Foster us to the proper terminology of a fishing
implement- Professor Foster insisted it should be called a fishing rod;
Colonel McGeehan Insisted it should be labelled a pole instead of a rod.
They agreed to leave the debate to Mr. Hugh S. Fullerton, who voted
both wrong. "Jt is neither a rod nor a pole," said Mr. Fullerton. "It is
called a cane." Thereupon both the Infuriated anglers attempted to assault
the renowned expert with paddles and boathooks.
THE FLAG'S FOUNDATION
In a patriotic outburst a certain major league ball player stuck a small
edition, of the Stars and Stripes above his right ear as he came out on the
field, with his cap off, but the flag fluttering.
The scene happened to attract the attention of Colonel Charles Dryden.
"This," said Mr. Dryden, impressively, "is the first time I have ever seen the
American flag flying from Gibraltar."
ONE OR ANOTHER
If one Red Sox pitcher isn't starring, another reports with the rapid fire
stuff.
In 1914 Dutch Leonard had one of his best years. In 1915 Foster and
Shore were almost unbeatable. In 1916 Babe Ruth began to hum. In 1917
Carl Mays has joined Ruth as the winning pitcher of the club. Mays' ef
fectiveness this spring has saved the Red Sox from a spectacular dip. Ruth
was right, but and Shore were uncertain. At this point Mays
joined forces with the redoubtable Babe and saved the spring drive. Tho
Red Sox have always been a far better club after the middle of June than
before. One of the main reasons for this is that they rarely have ever one
or two pitchers right through April, May and early June, whereas, from
July on they have all four ready to arise upon their hind legs and travel
at a dizzy pace.
In 1915 and 1916 they were floundering along until June, but once their
four leading pitchers get right they are rugged people to overthrow.
"Won't you announce that Monte Attell, brother of Abe, the fighter, has
sign.ed with the Triangle Company," asks an earnest press agent. Sorry,
but can't.
Two Chicago experts with exceptionally keen viewpoints insist that the
White Sox are stronger this season than ever before. "They have improved
both their attack and their defence," remflrks one who has studied Sox
tactics for many years. "In my opinion, they are a better ball club than
the Red Sox, for they have a greater attack ijind a defense just as strong."
"I'm off this prize fighting and boxing game forever," remarked one of
its strongest boosters a few days ago. "I always called it the manly art
until I looked over the list of star fighters who have NOT answered any
call to the colors. The only call they can hear is the cry of a dollar bill."
"I have never seen this query answered," writes H. H. S. "Why hasn't
the National League taken up drilling as the American League has done?"
Mainly because It's the National League. There might be some better an
swer, but we can't think of it just now.
"Cubs keep up around the crest, with only on.e .300 pitcher," says a
Canadian exchange. Since a pitcher's average is based upon the number
of games he wins and loses, our admiration for Fred Mitchell's managerial
wizardry has more than doubled since reading the above. A combination
of Napoleon and Archimedes couldn't get by with it.
T. L. H. was and is wrong. The Yanks were leading the league three
games or more when Fate tossed the bomb into their midst and followed
this up with a gas attack and shrapnel. And they are liable to get and keep
three games to the front any time this year their full strength is able to
surround ten fine pitchers.

READNG WINS
BOTH BATTLES
Take Two Close Games From
Harrisburg by Timely
Hilling
Harrisburg fans better get the ha
bit of going to games while they can.
This season's New York State
League schedule does not leave the
team at home long enough to get ac
quainted. Beginning to-day Red Cal
houn, with his Barons, will be the
attraction. Wilkes-Barre is now set
ting a pace and good games may be
expected.
Bill Coughlin and his Scrantonites
will be the attraction next week. It
is probable that the first double
header will be played Monday, June
4. The Islanders are scheduled for
a Sunday game with Scranton. As
doubleheaders will be permissible
after June 1, local patrons ure likely
to get their first Ijfirgaln day.
Second Ixmg Tour
Manager George Cockill and his
team will, leave the city after the
Scranton series for a tour of the New
York circuit including Wilkes-Barre
and Scranton, and will return for
three games with Reading. Follow
ing a series with Syracuse and Utica
Ihe team will come home for the
third series with Keading which will
run the Islanders up to July 4.
Heading took both games yester
day. In the morning the score was
3'to 2; and in "the afternoon 4 to 1.
Big crowds attended each game.
Buck Ramsey was in old-time form
in the morning. He was tight until
the eighth when lucky breaks cou
pled with hits gave Reading the lead,
it was a pitchers' battle with fast and
sensational work by both teams,
liccfc Has Bad Start
Keefe and Harsher had an inter
esting pitchers' argument in the aft
ernoon. Harrisburg was unable to
get to Harsher except in one inning,
while Keefe was weak at the go-off.

Harrlsburg's work yesterday, while
not bringing victories, was of a high
standard. Manager Georgo Wiltse
has a strong aggregation and Read
ing has been setting a pace in the
New York State League race.
Manager George Cockill's Islanders
ought to arrange for night practice.
They are not home long enough to
get well acquainted with Island Park.
It is all right to play one week at
home, and the next week take the
road, but being without games al
most two weeks at a stretch is not
doing much for the game here.
It is not likely that Captain Cook,
Harrisburg's second baseman, will
be back before next week. He will
have to look after business matters
following the funeral of his father.
In the meantime Islanders will be
home and with morning work hope
to hit the trail (or a string of vic
tories.

risburg were not as attractive a* In
former years. Many one-sided scores
were reported. The majority of the
local Karnes while Interesting, did
not show the pace of former seasons.
A glance at the line-up will show the
absence of many local stars who
have gone to the front. What will
happen after the first call under the
conscription call, la not likely to help
the amateur game.
The Utes and Stars evened up In
yesterday's game. Both contests
were close and full of thrills. There
is no denying the fact that the New
York State League is offering real
baseball, even better than the Inter
national League. This year on the
Farrell circuit many youngsters are
out for honors. In the Barrow
r-eacue it is a case of players going
backward. The game played by New
York State League teams is faster
and more attractive than that seen
when the Newark International team
was located in Harrisburg.
