It is reported that Willard is being "let out," his drawing power as a box office attraction having waned because of his evident un willingness to defend his champion ship. Since he won the title from Jack Johnson In Havana on April 5, 1915, he has engaged in but one bat tle, the ten-round no-decision affair with Frank Moran in Madison Square Garden more than a year ago, and almost a year after ills Cuban con quest. Morris is not only supplanting Wil lard with the "BUI Show," but he is determined to oust him from his championship throne also. Said Morris, discussing his plans: "Although I am going to accept the offer of a twenty-four weeks' engagement wtih the circus, don't think that I plan to retire from the ring as Willard virtually dit*. in serted in my contract will be a clause releasing me any time X desire. I am joining the circus partly for financial and partly for publicity rea sons. I intend to press my demands for a championship match. The pub licity I get with the show, I think, will hasten the consummation of this match. While it is pending X will be profiting financially. "I cannot figure how Willard can evade this match any longer. Cer tanly he can't say that I haven't qualified myself for it, or that his contract with the circus prevents him Former Benchwarmer Now Star in National League A benchwarmer is the star of the National League. After wearing out more trousers than shoes for three years on the bench in the Giants' dugout, Freddie Schupp has come into hig own and promises a career that no southpaw of to-day, with the possible excep tion of "Babe" Ruth, can expect to duplicate. McGraw was not departing from any precedents when he refused to permit Schupp to start a game. Rube Marquard, purchased from Indianap olis at a then fabulous price, was per mitted to .grace the bench for two seasons after his first disastrous start before he was allowed to go out and "do his bit." Prior to last summer Schupp had Absolutely No Pain f w J iir '■<" iMirort* iffii ' /v ■HHflklll ni tncludlms am •xerirm- aJv IfjlfMil™,! !>ed air iw*ntut tnakea •/> * V wx£%xvam<' HtrMtlag and all deatal XV w work positively palilm /V ■PE'dftfti'ii *■' la perfectly hana- Vj to* ea • p. m.l Mob, Wad. \/ aad tat.

He will either have to fight me or permanently retire from the ring. If he does the latter I will claim his title and defend it against all comers. If he agrees to a match with me I will succeed to the cham pionship anyway. I would rather take it from him. Has Confidence "I can beat Wtllard sure little apples are red if they leave me in there alone and long enough with him. In ten rounds I believe I could lick him; in twenty rounds there wouldn't be any doubt about the re sult. Willard is an exceptionally fast boxer for a man of his weight, but he is just the kind of an oppo nent I find easiest to 'take.' You saw what 1 did to Fred Fulton, and I think Fulton Is every bit as good a boxer as Willard. That's how I get a line on my chances with Willard. It would be a nip-and-tuck tight be tween Fulton and the champion. Not a few experts declared before I fought Fulton that Fred had better than an even chance against Jess. Well, if I could so esaily defeat a man rated on a par with Willurd, I should surely defeat Willard. "I see that a lot of writers have been criticising my ability as a boxer. They say I am'just a 'gutter fighter,' a rough, mauling son of a gun, entirely lacking in cleverness and science, and who wins by sheer strength. Well, I win, and that's good enough, isn't it? I realize that I am not a 'master boxer' or any thing like that, but I am not en tirely lacking in skill." been seen occasionally, pitching when a game was hopelessly lost or certainly won. Last summer, however, Schupp showed a reversal of form. He de veloped control. He had found his fast-breaking curves. Then JlcGraw sent him to the mound. In the drive for twenty-six consec utive victories he won six g^roes. His 1916 record showecWhim win ning nine and losing six games with a record-breaking earned run aver age of .90 per game. "He will not last," many critics de clared, when the Giants went to Mar lin this spring. But Shupp did last, lasted far bet ter than even his teammates ex pected. This year he has won six straight games and lost one, and has allowed .92 earned runs to each game. Q i SCORES OF YESTERDAY Nntlonal League Cincinnati, 6; Philadelphia, 5. New York, 2; Pittsburgh, 0.

TO START RED CROSS WORK Pa., June 15.—Special ar rangements have been made by the Red Cross Auxiliary to start work. An instructor from the Harrisburg chapter will be here on Tuesday aft ernoon with materials. All members are requested to be present GOOD GAMES ON SATURDAY BILL Railroad Contest at Island Park; Big Battles For West End and Steelton Fans need not beg for baseball to-morrow. Every game scheduled promises to furnish all the thrills necessary to prove that the national sport is still popular. At Island Park "Red" Owens as.d his Motive Power aggregation will meet Tren ton. The West End A. C. is sched uled for a battle with Baker A. A., at Fourth and Seneca streets, and "Shorty" Miller's team at Steelton will meet the crack aggregation from Sparrows Point, Md. The railroad game will bring to Harrisburg a large aggregation of rooters. Trenton has twice won the championship, and this season as in the past recognize the Harrisburg contingent as their strongest oppon ents. Manager Owens will give Eis enberger a chance to show his abil ity on the mound. The game starts at 3 o'clock. At Fourth and Seneca streets the West End A. C. will meet Baker A. A., of Steelton. This game is one of the most important in the local se ries. West End is hoping for in creased crowds. While no regular admission fee is charged games play ed by the West End aggregation have been strong attractions and worthy of more liberal patronage. The bat tle to-morrow starts at 3 o'clock. Second Game at Steelton The second game of the Bethle hem Steel Corporation League will be played at Steelton to-morrow, with Sparrows Point plant team as the attraction. The game last week was closely contested and it took ten innings for Bethlehem to come through on top. Manager "Shorty" Miller has put the team through several hard prac tices this week in preparation for this week's contest, as he wants the team to even matters in its league standing. The lineup this week will be the same as last, with probably Odgen, the young twirler, occupying the mound for Steelton. The team in every department, Manager Miller believes, is in good conditipn, and with a little practice they should carry of£ honors in the league dujring the remainder of the season. Many Harrisburgers last week attended the game and the crowd this week is expected to sur pass that of last week, when at least 1,200 witnessed the contest. The Hick-A-Thrifts will go to Mid dlctown for a game with the Midrlle town A. A. Cancellations have been crimping the schedule of the Hick- A-Thrifts, but now they hope to keep going. An interesting game is look ed for. On June 30 the local nine will play West End A. C. Games are wanted by • the Hick-A-Thrifts for July 4. "Comebacks" This Season So Many They Become Bores No one has been able to explain it thus far, but it seems that a great season for comebacks is being had. Sport fans have reached the point where they oniy yawn to see in the paper that the great comeback of this veteran or that has been the feature of the season. Just a few of those who have been celebrated as the comeback wonders of the day are Larry Doyle, Fred Berkle, Ivan Olson, Ttollie Zeider, Guy Morton, Eddie Cicotte, not to mention Tub Spencer, Harry Wolter and quite a few others. Some of these have only gone in for the comeback thing this season, while others have been coming back more than anything else for some while. Ballplayers themselves begin to realize that "comebacks" are be ing a bit overdone, but it's usually that way and there are always some to spoil a good thing. Whoever first thought up the comeback idea got a big hand and now any number of players are trying to cop his stuff. A big league veteran can be suro of getting the comeback cheers if he will manage to stage a spurt and play first rate ball for a while. Then some sport writers will dash off lots of new stuff about how he is playing the game that made him a star when he first came up from the brush. If he slumps again no one will notice it. Every one will be reading about come other old bird who is skipping about as in his youth. At the same time there have been an unusuail number of fast showings ' made by the game's older players this season and if lots of the younger ones are taken away to the wars the old stars will have to do their best to keep the game going. TRAMPLED ON KLAG By Associated Press Lynchburg, Va„ June 15.—Rather than take a dare, Warren Utterback, a young railroad clerk here, tread on the Stars and Stripes and was ar rested.

WELLY S^ 9 CORNE R The American Association has added forty-two more games to its schedule to make up for the losses of the post-season series with Inter national League teams called oft v/hen war was declared. This is one announcement. Another is that the players will quit soon because of cut in salaries. Tom Downey, writing from his heme in Bridgeport, Conn., denies that he was paid his salary in futl. Ho refers his case to Mar.ager George Cockill. Both Downey and Cook did get some money, as well as Manager George Cockill. Death made it nec essary for Cook and Downey to re turn home. What money was ad vanced was enough to pay their ex penses. Penn's last baseball game will be with to-morrow. Captain Berry has been ordered to report for duty in France within twenty-four hours. College baseball in many parts of the country will also end to-morrow. Reports from the Farrell league show Harrisburg wanderers still do ing business. Yesterday Elmira won by a score of 4 to 2. This year's pennant winner will have an easy job if the Orphans continue in the game. Muggsy McGraw is not pleased with his punishment. He claims that Trenton Man Is Inventor of a Submarine Catcher Trenton, N. J., June 15. Harry E. Stahl, a machinist, has invented a submarine catcher. He demonstrated it yesterday afternoon in Governor Edge's bathtub in the executive cham ber of the Capitol. General Goethals was an interested watcher.
