WHISTLING BILL COUGHLIN'S MINORS ARE HERE FOR TWO GAMES WITH ISLANDERS
MANY ATHLETES
NOW RESERVISTS
College Stars Training at
Newport Plan Football
Eleven
The reservists' regiment, which is
being trained for naval duty at New
port, R. 1., contains some of the
greatest college and ex-college ath
letes of the day, and, true to the
announcement of government offic
ials, that athletics are to be encour
aged among the soldiers and sailors,
teams in various branches of sports
are being formed.
A tentative array of talent for the
reservists' baseball nine shows the
names of Barrett, of Cornell, and
Keddle and Rois, of Dartmout, as
pitchers; Black, of Yale; Salmonsen,
of Dartmouth, and Goodspeed, of
Princeton, as catchers; L.uth, of the
Naval Academy; Shubert and Whit
ney, of Cornell; Gerrish and Stewart,
of Dartmouth, as infiedcrs; Early,
Kaston and Hutchinson, of Yale, and
F. Whitney, of Dartmouth, as out
fielders. In addition to these play
ers the baseball squad may be aug
mented by the arrival of other col
legiate stars before the summer sea
son is well under way.
Plan Football Team
Plans for a football eleven next
fall, providing the members of the
reservists' regiment are not called
out, have already been made. Mem
bers of the regiment eligible for tho
eleven are: Gennert, Princeton, cen
ter; Black, Yale, and Hogg, Prince
ton, guards; Gates, of Yale; Gilman,
of the Navy; Triet, of Dartmouth,
and Semmons, of Princeton, tackles;
Higginzotham. of Yale; Luth. of tho
Navy, and Brayton, of Williams,
ends. Barrett, of Cornell; Gerrisli,
of Dartmouth; Eberstadt, of Brown;
Thomas, of Princeton; Hutchinson,
of Yale; Benedict, of Cornell, and the
Schuler brothers, also of Cornell, are
available for the backlield positions.
It is said in college circles in the
East that this aggregation will make
one of the strongest teams of col
lege and ex-college players ever got
ten together outside of intercollegi
ate circles.
Delaware River League
Throws Up the Sponge;
Will Try to Reorganize
Morrisville, Pa., June 4.' —Because
some of the managers refused to
give a point over a dispute in the
schedule, the Delaware River Lea
gue, one of the oldest and foremost
semiprofessional leagues in this sec
tion, disbanded at a special meeting.
Mercer Auto Club withdrew and this
only left three clubs which made it j
necessary for them to throw up the j
sponge as far as the league was con- j
cerned.
The league had every indication of j
having a prosperous year this sea
son, but because too many of the
teams played in Trenton there has
been some little trouble all season.
The league was organized ten years
ago, and played every season since
that time. The Mercer Auto and
Empire Tire clubs have disbanded,
but Morrisville and Globe Tire teams
have remained intact and will play
'hall every Saturday for the remain- |
der of the season.
There is a move on foot to reor
ganize the league with Morrisville,
Roebling, Florence and one team in
Trenton. There is also some talk of
making an effort to secure Riverside
and other South Jersey clubs, mak
ing it a six-club circuit. It is be- I
lieved with such a circuit the league 1
would again create plenty of inter
est, and all the clubs would have a j
successful season. The league was |
for years composed ot' such a circuit, j
but it gradually drifted toward Tren-1
ton.
President Charles 11. Heller, of i
Morrisville, will receive applications
from any dub desiring to enter the
the league and as soon as enough ap
plications are in, a meeting will be
called. It is said Morrisville, Roeb
ling and Florence have agreed to
such a combination, but it has not
been decided which Trenton club
will be admitted into the circuit.

Montreal, Candida, June 4.
When you ask any Canadian who follows any game what effect the
war will have upon sport in Uncle Sam's domain he immediately returns
one set answer—an answer that carries more than its share of grimness.
It is this—"Wait until the first casualty list comes in then."
Those who have watched and followed even.ts in the great Dominion
to the north are confident that the first list of the dead and wounded will
throw a black, heavy shadow above all American sport to the end of the
war.
"I know," remarked one prominent Canadian sportsman, "just what a
grip baseball has upon the people of the United States. But I don't be
lieve that even big league baseball can stand up under'the shock of the
casualty list—which comes singing a dirge across any nation —leaving in
almost unbearable suspense those whom it does not strike at first. Until
this list begins to arrive baseball and other sports may move along with
a fair amount of serenity. But this serenity will fade out with dizzy
rapidity when the mental picture begins to grow of your own people fall
ing under the fire of hostile guns—taking their places in No Man's Land,
which is beyond any description of hell ever penned."
UNDER THE SHADOW
"It is all very well," continued the Canadian, "to say that those who re
main at home need recreation and diversion.. The theory sounds exceed
ingly plausible until put to the test But caK you imagine yourself or any
normal person taking any deep interest in a two-base hit or n .Tinning catch
—even when the home team makes it—just after he has read that 10,000
of his fellow countrymen, have been shot down by machine guns and shrap
nel in some daring advance or some dash across the top? How much gen_
eral interest do you suppose most of us had in Canada after reading of
Ypres and later on of Vimy Ridge? You can figure that out for yourself.
There is the chance, of course, that if your armies in conjunction with the
Allies figure in some triumphant assault, bringing evidence that Germany
is soon to be beaten, in the enthusiasm to be developed the casualty list
may, to a big extent, be overlooked. But unless this happens the first news
of the dead and wounded in action will practically mark the end of all
competitive sport."
A NEW SPORT
In spite of all this Canada recently has come upon a new sport. The
n.ew sport referred to was not developed by a Canadian, but by William
O'Connel McGeehan, belter known as Gaffer Bill.
The new sport was developed and promulgated up Cains River in a sal
mon fishing expedition which consisted of nine fishermen and nine guides.
At one pool along the the salmon, weighing between 15 and 20
pounds, were jumping and rising in such copious quantities that terrific ex
citement prevailed. While Chief Guide Harry Allen and his alert aids were
busy elsewhere Colonel Maximilian Foster hooked an 18-pound salmon.
As the big fish was finally drawn in to the edge of a steep bank it was dis
covered that no expert gaffer or gaffman. had been summoned to land the
fish. Gaffer Bill McGeehan, although he had never gaffed a salmon in his
tempestuous career, immediately volunteered for the job. He managed
to swipe the big fish out of the water, but the gaff snapped as the salmon
struck the side of the bank. The fish then darted for the w f ater and was
half way in when McGeehan leaped upon it with a flying dive with a com
bination catch-as-catch-can ami Graeco-Roman, grip. After that Gaffer
Bill snared two more salmon in the same way, to the intense astonishment
of the guides. '
DISMANTLING SCIENCE
It was on this trip through New Brunswick around a camp fire one night
that Hughey Fullerton related what he considered the funniest interest of
spring baseball.
"In one of the Cub games," related Hughey, "the score was 5—5 in the
sixth inning. The other club put in a new pitcher, a big raw busher with
terrific speed, but no great control and not much of a curve. One of the
Cut) youngsters went to bat,* and after getting three balls and two strikes
finally fanned on a cannon shot around his neck. The young Cub came
back to the bench growling, with a disgusted look on his face.
"What's the trouble?" asked Fred Mitchell.
" 'Aw,' he said, 'we had a good game going till this big busher came in.
But now he's gone and took all the science out of it.' "
"Those who have followed sport before the war," remarked one of the
returned overseas contingent, "have had a much better time of it in this
war. Through their training and their better physical condition they
have been able to stand the hard work better and they have been able to
keep in better shape. This applies especially to the marching and the drill
ing and the routine physical work. If has been extra hard on those who
had taken but little exercise before they enlisted. Those caught it with a
smash. The football men found the training easier than, any of the others,
for thqy had already become accustomed to much the same degree of hard
work and tests of endurance."
NEWPORT IS PACEMAKER
IN DAUPHIN-PERRY LEAGUE
KING LEAR GIVEN JOLT
By winning its third successive ex
tra-inning game on Saturday, New
port maintained Its perfect record and
continued the Dauphin-Perry League
leadership. After twelve inning" of
play, Halifax fell by a fl-5 score New
port scored live runs In the third In
ning and four In the final set-to.
. King Lear, tlie ex-Cincinnati Red,
started work on the mound for New
port, but Halifax soon got after his
delivery with such ferocity that he
was chased to the showers and Kid
Strieker was called in from left field
to take up duty on the knoll. Hali
fax clubbed out thirteen hits off their
deliveries, but fast fielding by New
port and poor baserunning by Halifax,
kept the Dauphin" Countians' score
down. Harry Blever, the old war
horse, twirled an excellent game for
Halifax, giving but ten hits, but four'
errors aided materially in Newport's
scoring.
MillerftburK Wins Out
With a rejuvenated team, Millers
burg Journeyed to Dauphin on Satur
day afternoon and got right after Gil
day, amassing four runs, enough to
win the fray, in the first inning. The
final score was 4 to 3. G. Milter
pitched well for Mlllersburg.
At Duncannon, the Marysvillc nine
was veritably slaughtered. After nine
innings of play, the scoreboard told
a 11-0 victory for the home team.
Murysville's team has been literally
shot to pieces during the past three
weeks by Injuries, desertions, mili
tary calls and ;i\e players have been
lost. Kutter. third baseman, was In

United Stales army.
Iluiiepnnon In Winner
Duncannon got to tne delivery of
Davis in the first inning and with
errors of commission and of omis
sion. managed to push three runs
across the platter. This took all the
starch out of the Marysville team ana
after that Manager Duncan's team
was never in danger. However, it
continued to pound the deliveries of
Davis and Kaltreider, securing seven
teen blnglrs, which, with errors, net
ted a total of eleven runs. Marys
ville supported her hurlers poorly,
five runs being scored In the seventh
inning on two hits.

FOUR TIES IN
PENNSY LEAGUE
Harrisburg Wins at Wilming
ton; Now Contender For
First Place
When all battles in the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Motive Power Lea
gue were over Saturday, four teams
were tied for first place. Harrisburg
is one of these teams, "lied" Owens
and his aggregation came home from
Wilmington with a 11 to 4 victory.
Although Wilmington outplayed
Harrisburg both at the bat and in
the field, they were badly beaten, 11
to 4. Nine runs were scored in the
fourth session by "Red" Owens' crew
when Holveck and Coffin were un
able to locate the plate, passing
seven of the visitors via the dead
head route. Doubles by McDonough,
Rainey and Jones scored four earned
runs, which should have won for
the P. B. & W. boys. The fielding
thrills were performed by Wright
stone and Weaver, the latter's catch
of a line drive in the opening round
being most spectacular.
Trenton Wins Easily
Much to the surprise of the rail
road fans, Trenton had an easy time
in downing Meadows, 11 to 1, admin
istering to the Newark boys their
first defeat of the season. "Bill"
Matthews was supreme at all times,
allowing but three hits and breezing
twelve of the visitors. Ferrell's home
run featured for Meadows. Long
drives by the Trentonians gave the
Newark outfield a busy day. Charlie
Hargraves led with a single, double
and triple.
Baltimore blanked New York in a
fast game. 4 to 0. Mason, a new re
cruit for theOrangeville team, was in
fine form, letting the Gotham boys
off with five safeties.' The heavy
hitting of Schader und fielding of Fil
laux were the high spots of the mat
inee.
The Quakers easily defeated
Washington, 11 to 3. Rice had little
trouble in holding the Senators safe,
while his teammates fattened their
averages off the offerings of Joe
Brown. The score of the Harrisburg
game follows:

COUGHLINHERE
FOR TWO GAMES
Miners Are Just Outside the
Cellar; Expect New Men
in Local Line-up
Manager Bill Coughlin and his
sfiuad ot' Miners opened a two-day
series this afternoon at Island Park.
Scranton Is right outside the cellar
and has been going Irregularly for a
week or more. Harrisburg expected
to have the new men, Brown and
Mack, in the line-up, and will give
Whistling Bill's boys a hard chase.
The games to-day and to-morrow
will be the last at home for t\vo
weeks. The Islanders leave Wednes
day on a trip over the circuit and
will not be home until the series with
Reading. Manager Cockill on Satur
day said:
CoekiU Is Km-ourngtHl
"Futurt prospects look much
brighter. The team, with few excep
tions, is moving at a fast pace. Har
risburg is third in hitting, and none
of the other clubs has anything on
the fielding by Harrisburg during the
past two weeks. After to-morrow
there will be some of the uncertainty
as to war conditions removed and
fans will be able to take in amuse
ments. The weather will not have a
lot to do with the attendance. The
increased attendance at the games
last week shows that the patrons
have been waiting for warmer
weather."
Wilkes-Barre Wins
On Saturday Wilkes-Barre nosed
out a victory over Harrisburg, score
2 to 1. Tuerc was on the mound for
the Barons and worked his spitball
successfully. Keefe opposed him and
put up a good game. His support
was strohg, Captain Cook having the
only error, a hard-hit ball which he
was unable to handle in time. Time
ly hits were lacking on the part of
the Islanders. The score:

Frank Moran to
Meet Carl Morris
New York, .Tune 4. —Unless some un
foreseen accident happens, Frank
Moran and Carl Morris will meet in
the ring to-night at Harlem A. C. Five
times they have been matched, but
something has always interfered to
keep them apart. For the sixth meet
ing Moran lias worked hard and will
do his best to stop the ponderous loco
motive driver before the end of ten
rounds. Willie Lewis, Moran's father,
has forced the big blond to do a lot
of extra training.
Does Extra Boxinic
"I did that," said Lewis last night,
"to guard against arm weariness. It
would never do for a man to be af
flicted with tired arms when boxing
Morris. He is a fellow of tremendous
strength, and though he may not hit
hard he hits often. Besides this, he
has a way of piling his weight on his
man, and the other fellow has to be
pretty well conditioned or he will
come out of the short end of the horn.
It was always a hard task to get
Moran to do much boxing around a
training camp. 11c always said it
wasn't necessary. This time he has
, been sparring ten or twelve rounds a
JUNE 4,1917.
CORNER
The proof of the pudding is in eat-1
ing it. Manager George Cockill said
he would get new men. He kept his
\\ ord. The fans said they would at
tend games if the team played base
ball. The Islanders are doing their
bit. The fans turned out Saturday,
but not up to what tho game war

"MUD BALL" IS
REAL PUZZLER
CICOTTE HAS IT
Detroit, Mich., June 4. —Eddie Ci
cotte, who is having a remarkably
Rood year, owes his success to an
other new trick in pitching, accord
ing to players of teams that have
opposed him.
According to the athletes, Cicotte
is pulling the old Matty McHale trick
of going on the slab with one leg
of his knickers thoroughly saturated
with water. He rubs the seam of the
ball with this, then grinds the damp
ened seam into soil that he has pick
ed in his glove, and thus develops a
mud ball.

The boy can fight and can hit. That's

| The theory is that the small
i amount of mud that the pitcher can
j drive into the seam makes the ball
heavier on one side than on the
[ other, and thus causes it to indulge
I in mysterious moves on the way to
i the plate, just as the spitter, because
! the ball does not rotate as does one
j that has had Knglish put on it, fails
I away ill peculiar manner.
Some of the Eastern clubs that
i have opposed Cicotte have entered
[ vigorous protests, and have tried to
j prove that his methods violate the
rules, but without any success.
