Pittsburgh. Pa., June 7—John Henryi
(Honus) Wagner, star shortstop, who
failed to report to the Pittsburgh Na- j
tionals at the beginning of the season !
after twenty years as a player in the |
National League, to-day signed a con
tract with Barney 'Dreyfuss of the
Pittsbuj-gh club. It was announced j
that Wagner will iappear at first base j
in to-day's game with Brooklyn.
No statement was made as to the
salary Wagner will receive under the ;
new contract. For the past two years,
it is said, he has been receiving a i
salary of SI,OOO, and, according to j
some reports, it was because of a re
duction that the veteran shortstop
failed to report this spring. Officials i
of the club at various times an- I
nounced that Wagner had not Joined!
the team on account of business in-'
terests. Despite predictions ana ru

Copyright, 1917, The Tribune Association (New- York Tribune).
A lieutenant of Canadian infantry was talking. He had been Over the
Top twice—had been out through No Man's Land on a scouting expedition
I once —and had twice figured in repelling German attacks on his front
i line trench.
1 So he wasn't guessing. ' .. , . .
' "You hear a lot about superstition in sport," he said. I know ball pia> -
i ers are superstitious, some of them to a queer degree. But superstition in
! sport is nothing at all to superstition in this war. It is not even to oe
! compared. It is beyond all belief." •
THE GREATEST SUPERSTITION
"When one goes into a ball game or any other sporting event he realises
i that Luck or Fate will play quite a part, and so he is frequently looking
j for some luckv sign, or fearing to meet some unlucky sign. This often
becomes a habit. We have all known golfers who became greatly depressed
| at drawing cross-eyed caddies, or ball players who worried over other hard
I "When you go into a front line trench, or Over the Top into a charge,
Ivou realize also that your fate is largely a matter of luck. Your life is no
I longer in your own keeping. It belongs to Fate. It is the greatest gamble
i you have ever known. And so instinctively one begins to look for lucky
I omens—and, correspondingly, to fear and shun unlucky omens. No man in
the trenches would dare light a third cigar or cigaret with the same match.
[Thirteen in a gathering would bring consternation. All the old superstitions
! are revived and any number of new ones are added. You are now in a wild
i gamble with Fate. You are tossing heads'or tails for life or death. It is
up to the fortunes of war and the nervous system is at such a terrifically
high tension that the smallest events are amazingly enlarged. Small shadows
become huge and grotesque shapes. And small turns or incidents leap to
j a vital importance.
AX EXAMPLE
"And events seem to carry superstition along. I recall one place where
j everything for ten miles around had been shot kway. The one thing stand
ing was a wall bearing the cross. And this had stood for over two years
of constant fire. This wall had never been touched —the cross was still
| there —although everything else for miles ardund had been blown off the
i face of the world. You can understand what an efTect this would have
upon the average mind.
"Any game, or event where luck or fate is a factor is sure to breed
| superstition. Baseball has its jinxes. War has four times as many—for
war Is on a far greater scale—and of far greater importance. In baseball
• good luck or bad luck means success or failure, winning or losing. In war
it means life and death."
THE MAIX THROB
He who emerges from the rut
May chortle "Attaboy";
But he who sinks a twelve-foot putt
Leads all the world In joy.
The report that Norrls Williams, the tennis champion, was barred from
I Plattsburg on account of bad feet was true enough save for the trifling
details that he was not barred from Plattsburg and his feet are In fine
i condition. >
W. L. S.—Schupp has averaged something like .85 of earned runs to
! each game pitched this season. The record for a year is .90, also held by
j Schupp. •
THE XEW KING—OR XOT?
For nine years Ty Cobb led the batting field. He was rarely headed at
j any part of this journey.
Last April Bpeaker jumped out in front of Cobb and held the lead all
J season. So far the Texan has led Tyrus all this season. Which means that
>Tris has led Ty for seven and a half months without being headed. The
Cleveland star now has a good lead. It will be interesting to see whether
Ty can overhaul him, and, if so, just how long the merry little assignment
i will take. '
WHO, IXDEED?
Cobb can beat out many a hit;
Speaker swings with a rip;
But who is there who can paddle the pill
With the punch of Pickler Pipp?
"There usedl to be a lot of argument as to which was Mack's greatest
Inflelder?" observes Plato Pete. "But the answer is this—which one did he
keep? And which one of the four is still batting up over .800?"
WAGNER'S SUCCESSOR ,
Pecktnpaugh, Fletcher. Moranvllle or Scott —
Which of the four is the best of the lot?
Which of the four is the leader, by heck?
Fletcher, Moranville, or Scotty or Peck?
J. J. F.
"Don't you think," asks R. L. D., "that the war between America and
Germany should be called off or postponed until the mofe important war
between the United States Golf Association and the Western Golf Associa
tion is settled? Two such momentous struggles should not be attempted
at once."
"Why were the tennis championships called off?" asks an exchange.
Why were they? Think of the glory of winning a tennis championship
where the only leading absentees were Norrls Williams, George Church,
William Johnston, Clarence Griffen and eight or tea others from the same
cjasa? .
HARRISBURG TELEGRXPH
mors, Wagner refused to make an an- j
nouncement that he had retired from I
the game.
For more than a week it had been
persistently reported that Wagner
would rejoin the club, and it was
known that he was being urged to do
so, by many who attributed this year's
slump of the Pirates to his absence.
After signing a contract, Wagner sent
the following telegram to August
Herrmann, chairman of the National
Baseball Commission.
"Finding the call of baseball too
strong to resist, I desire to continue
to play the game I love and to which
I owe all I possess, and I hereby peti
tion the National Commission to grant
my request for reinstatement so that
I may play with my old club to-mor
row."
LOCALS LOSE TO

Verbout Is Effective in the
Pinches; Miller's Arm
Factor in Scoring
Harrisburg was given a blank deal
by the Barons yesterday, losing by
a score of 3to 0. Charley Miller was
a big factor in the loss of the game
because of his poor throwing to sec
ond base. Cooper was on the
mound for the Islanders and showed
good form.
Verbout held Harrisburg in pinch
es. He was u star in tne game-
Bunched hits helped in \\ Ukes-

LEAGUE GAMES
STILL IN DOUBT
Fans Gloomy Over Breaking
Up of Sport at Island
Park
Gloom is spread all over the city.
It is sticky as glue, the kind that
will not wear off for sometime. An
nouncement yesterday that Harris
burg would lose its New York State
League baseball team is responsible
for the many downcast faces to-day.
There is only one cure. Subscrip
tions amounting to $5,000 by 6
o'clock this evening. The case looks
hopeless. President J. H. Farrell
was unable to stir up any enthusiasm
yesterday and he will go to Wilkes-
Rarre to-morrow. He called a meet
ing of the league at that place for
to-morrow night.
llarrisburg's franchise will be put
up to the league and the magnates
will say what is to be done. It is
understood that four towns would
like to get a team. Manager Cockill
is in Wllliamsport to-day trying to
get his former backer, Thomas Grey,
to take hold of the team. Grey is a
goo.i business manager and may be
able to take care of the club for
the balance of the season.
President Farrell is of the opin
ion that with the funds asked for the
team will be able to make good dur
ing the balance of the season. He at
tributes the failure to the lack of
sufficient funds at the start of the
season and bad weather conditions.
Many local businessmen believe a
winning team with proper manage
ment would succeed In this city, but
are also of the belief that it is too
late now to stir up enough enthusi
asm. New York Stato League base
ball is probably at an end in Harris
burg.
PLUM WINS SHOOT

in his string of 25 blue rocks,, and
smashed 96 out of 100 in his total
allotment. Barton Pardee, another
local shot, was second high man.
His general average was better than
Plum's, he having completed seven
runs of 24 each and nine runs of 23
[ during the week.
| J. B. Plum, Fred Plum's brother,
won in the beginners' class, with 21

WELLY'S
TTnless ernongb businessmen with
the good of the city at heart, come to
the rescue, Harrisburg fans have
seen the last New York State League
baseball game. Not enough encour
agement was received yesterday to
warrant success to an amateur
league team.
Manager George Cockill hair evi
dently given up all hopes for keep
ing the team in Harrisburg. He went
to Wllliamsport for a conference
with Thomas Grey of that city who
was a former Tri-State owner and
backer of the Wllliamsport team
when George Cockill played there.
Harrisburg may be transferred to
that city.
It is said that Wllliamsport, Al
lentown, Easton, Poughkeepsie and
other cities want the Harrisburg
franchise. They will be given a
chance to bid. President J. H. Far
rell is still hoping enough money will
be raised in this city to tide the
team over.
Whether the Harrisburg club is
transferred or not, the failure to
make baseball a success in Harris
burg this season must not be placed
entirely on the patrons. The af
fairs have been badly managed. The
time for starting a baseball associa
tion in Harrisburg was last fall when
the season ended with fans enthus
iastic over the success of a tail-end
team.
While bad weather put a crimp in
receipts, something stronger in a
team offering might have helped.
The Islanders are now showing up
better, and new men will strengthen
the team still further. With good
weather and enough money to help

branch met in th eband hall and
effected a permanent organization.
Airs. James G. Thompson was elected
chairman; W. H. Hassingel - , vice

Gougler and Miss Catharine Willis.
The branch now has 219 members.
i out, baseball would at least break
even.
The postponement of the grammar
school meet scheduled for to-day
simply puts over one day a classic
athletic event. No collegiate carni
val offers any greater attraction than
the competition between boys from
the local grammar schools. It Is the
one big meet of the year where
everybody does his bit and more.
There will be a whole lot of folks
give Harrisburg the laugh because
of the failure to support a baseball
team.
Veteran John Fox has secured a
leave of absence and is on the road
with the Reading team. Fox, who
is a policeman at Reading, has been

the game to-day.
Manager George Wiltse, of the
Reading team, has protested Tues

Babbington out of the game and or
