JESS WILLARD QUITS CIRCUS—-CARL MORRIS HIS SUCCESSOR—AMUSEMENTS—-SPORTS FEDS SCORE IN FOURTH INNING Herrmann Admits Outlaws Were Paid to Quit; Strong Denials * y FEDS DROP THEIR SUIT Philadelphia. June 15.—The Bal timore Federal League Club to-day dropped its suit against organized baseball. Philadelphia, June 15.—The most damaging testimony against the de fendants so far in the suit for $500,- 000 damages, brought by the Balti more Club of the defunct Federal league, against organized baseball, was heard from Garry Herrmann, chairman of the National Commission, O. B.'s supreme court, yesterday, when he was turned over to Attorney Farr for crossexaminatlon in the United States district court. Hermann was apparently anxious to testify, and In his direct examination few questions had to be asked. He knew what was ■wanted of him and in many instances volunteered information without be ing asked. But his tactics changed when the first bomb was exploded by Attorney Farr on crossexaminatlon. "What do you base your opinion on ■when you say that the Baltimore fran chise in the Federal League was not worth a dollar in December, 1915 7" queried Mr. Farr. "The Federal League was on its last legs and no franchise was worth any thing with that organization then," readily responded Garry. "Then," Mr. Farr continued, "if the Federal League was on its last legs and franchises in it were worthless, what made you pay Brooklyn approxi mately $400,000, and other clubs $50,- 000 to quit?" Herrmann In Stunned Herrmann seemed stunned. Instead of the usual prompt refrly he consid ered for awhile and then said: "To re-establish public confidence in the game. And. too, dissension had arisen because of the conflict. We couldn't properly discipline players because they threatened to 'jump' to the Federals if things didn't go their way. Attorney Farr was about to pro ceed further with his crossexamina tlon of Herrmann on this point, but Judge Dickinson interrupted by an nouncing that the court would adjourn for the day, the fourth Inning or the proceedings. As a going concern, Herrmann had said, the business of the Baltimore Club, including the ground, ptayers, etc., wasn't worth a dollar, and would not bring this much on the market. If Garry's opinion is unimpeachable, then the Baltimore Club hasn't suf fered a cent's worth of damages through the peace pact. The only crossexamlnation of Herr mann by George Wharton Pepper of counsel for the defendants was: "Was the Baltimore park always filled to capacity?" Herrmann said he didn't know. llranda Kulti "You should have seen the crowd lintre on the opening day," commented Attorney Farr of the plaintiff counsel. "We don't know how many of them •were deadheads," replied Mr. Pepper. Manufacturing! _—Everywhere Itetnllerw/j^^^-T^^^^^Storea Straws 1-5V2 UnitedHatStores 3rd and Market Sts.

FRIDAY EVENING, The statement made the other day by David L Fultz, president of tha Players' Fraternity, that August Herrmann, chairman of tho National Commission, had asked him to have the Fraternity blacklist all players who Jumped to tho Federal League, was branded as absolutely untrue by Herrmann. Organized baseball never attempted a monopoly of the game because It had no need to fear competition, and he is on record as believing in the freedom of any club or league enter ing the game as a competitor of the big leagues, declared Herrmann in his testimony. State Champion to Be Here For Big Eveni Secretary "Billy" Cleckner, of the Harrisburg Sportsmen's Association, has received word that A 1 Heil, state champion, will be here next week for the two-day registered shoot.

Orphan Gives Up All His Savings and Goes Into Debt to Buy Bond Philadelphia, June 15. A real I patriot is Bernard Chase, 11 years old, of the Home for Destitute Colored Children, at Fifty-fourth and Berks streets. Bernard is an orphan, and lias been in the home for some time, yet he is as patriotic as any child in the city, more so than many. For with the savings of his entire eleven years, and the money which he hopes to earn in the future, he has purchas ed a Liberty Bond. For many years Bernard has been saving liis pennies. He is an indus trious youngster, according to the au thorities at the home, and by much hard work he has managed to save up a little more than 825 in his whole eleven years. Many times he has gone without candy and soda water when his acquaintances would urge him to join tliem. Many times, even before he entered the home, did he go without enough to eat to add to his small hoard. Slowly it accumulated until he had the grand sum of $25, and he came to be looked up to as a financier by the other children. Now his total fortune and the entire amount which he will earn in some time has gone into the purchase of a Liberty Bond. He has been promised work for the summer, caring for an automobile, and he will receive $1 a week for his labor. Every cent of that will be put into the purchase of his bond. Tkere will be no ice cream and no good times for Bernard this summer, unless some one else pays for them. He is determined not to spend a cent on himself until the whole amount is paid and he has the bond in his possession. Yesterday he on the Orphans Day outing at Willow Grove, and the good time he had there must last him through the summer and a long time into the fall, for all his money has been pledged to Uncle Sam. Bernard's ancestors were slaves, and were freed by the United States Government. Now he has seiz ed his chance to show his gratitude to that Government. Use McNeil's Pain Exterminator.—Ad.

GrantterulJiice Copyright, 1917, The Tribune Association (New York Tribune). THE DUFFER REMARKS— They say that life in the trench Is rough— But life in the bunker's worse; The one is bloody and raw and tough. But the other's a living curse; * It's no fun battling hand to hand In the shell holes deep with mud, But It's no fun sweltering in the sand While the soul is running blood. Life In the trench is a fearful thing Where the shrapnel echoes swell; Where the big bombs break and the bullets sing— But the bunker's a living hell; To see your score mouht, stroke by stroke. Where the deep put kills your mirth, To whale away till your back is broke Is the roughest life on earth. There are times I envy the man who waits With a rifle in his fists; Who atands and shoots and defies the fates As he plugs at a German tryst; But as we swing in the bunkered lea, This is the song we sing: "O Grave, where is thy victory—• O Death, where is thy sting?" BALL PLAYERS AND THE UMPIRE We have heard a number of managers and ball players protesting volubly over the czar-tinted authority given umpires. The claim is made that umpires given all this autocratic control, run the game in high-handed fashion and take advantage of the sitiw.tion. This, to a certain extent, is true. But the manager and ball player should also remember this the umpire was given this authority exclusively on account of the action of managers and players. They bought it all upon themselves by outbursts that would have soon broken up the game if left uncurbed. In every game they were eighteen or twenty, against one. not including the public, which generally made it 6,000 against one. The one chance to stop this was to give the umpire complete authority. Without this, umpiring is an existence beyond the resiliency of the human soul. / THE TURNING TIGGER The tiger, also, will turn if prodded too often in a vulnerable spot. It had been a long time since the Tigers had annoyed the Red Sox, to speak | of. They had been easy meat in the last five series, up to thet one just concluded. By careening roughshod over Jack Barry's club upon its native heath the Tigers Interpolated new pep In the American League race. They proved, first, that the World Champs were not entirely invincible. Beyond this they furnished evidence that he ball-playing Tiger still has a wallop left and that, with Cobb, Veach and Heilman attached to fair pitching, Detroit may soon be on her way back among the best people. RUTH VS. SCHUPP Dear Sir: It is my contention that Schupp, of the Giants, is now tho best left-hander in baseball. A friend of mine says that either Ruth or Coveleskie is a better pitcher. What's the answer? O. T. B. (One of the Bugs) There isn't any, beyond a matter of opinion. Schupp operates in a : different league. So far as records go, his work since last June has been the most brilliant in baseball. He Is the only pitcher in the game, right or left-handed, who has allowed less than one earned run to a contest for a year's stretch—June, 1916, to June, 1917. Ruth has greater speed and Coveleskie greater experience. But neither has been as consistent a winner aa the Giant star. WHERE IT MIGHT BE WORSE It has been rumored again that Jess Willard is to retire. At first glance or thought it appears that one might stand this unseemly shock and still stagger along through the rest of existence.. Jess isn't the most buoyant or Inspiring example the game has ever known. But if Willard retired it is more than possible that Carl Morris would take charge of his sceptre. And Morris, as a champion, is a trifle too much. Morris, big and rough, doesn't know any more about boxing than he did seven years ago, when he knew nothing labout it. Yet, outside of Willard, there is no heavyweight who can beat him. Which is sufficient tip on the heavyweight situation. WHERE THE WEST LEADS The West has put something over on the East. It has continued its various sporUng championships, just as before, and, in addition, to show that sport didn't interfere with duty, has sent a larger span o fenlist ments, proportionately, than the East has sent. It was thought in the East that sport would interfere with the war program. The West has shown, this isn't true yb going through with both. Bobby Jones, aged fifteen, is Southern golf champion. Walter Travis, at fifty-three, was metropolitan champion. What other game knows a championship range of thirty eight years? Twenty Millions in U. S. Work at War Gardening By Associated Press Washington, June 18.

Bulle tins on food production and con servation have also been in great demaind. "Peurchigne" Is Pershing's Name in French Capital Paris, June 15. The Paris news papers found room yesterday to en lighten the public on the proper pro nunciation of General Pershing's name—a name which, as the Figaro says, is "not one easily enunciated in the accent of Montmartre." There was much diversity in the pronunciation among the populace, the favorite rendering being "Pare shlng." But, adds the Figaro, "it will be common knowledge that the name of the American general who comes to fight beside our soldiers is pro nounced 'Peurchigne.' " York County Exceeds Allotment by $25,000 York, June 15. York county has oversubscribed its allotment of Lib erty bonds by $250,000.

As a roe to war gardens and the production of frreen foodstuffs, the seventeen-year ocust has appeared In the Pittsburgh district and within the last few days has caused much damage. Trees, tele graph poles, shrubbery, gardens and lawns have been covered with the pest. So deadly Is the work of the locusts that a warning was posted yesterday by city authorities calling on ail gardeners and farmers to take prac tical means of ridding the country of tha pests.

The attraction at the Regent for to day only, will be a return showing of _ Ibsen's immortal "Peer Uynt" "Peer Gynt," with at the Regent Cyril Maude in the 10-day Only stellar role. Cast out _ . of his boyhood home in Gubrandsdale, Norway, for bride theft, a unique felony. Peer Gynt wanders over the world indulging 'his susceptibility to beautiful women, but always at his own cost.

"Clover's Re bellion, from tho pen of James Oli ver Curwood. There is an old saying that "love laughs at locksmiths," and never did Cupid work harder or laugh louder in the battle for the heart of Clover. For Clover was well worth fighting for. So thought the Duke, who wanted her money; so thought "Bucky" Raine, who couldn't under stand that his presence would make the delicate little Clover blossom wither; so thought her scheming aunt and uncle, who were willing to sell Clover to the highest bidder. And the locksmiths were all on their side. And Doctor Billy Dunn thought that Clover was well worth lighting for, too. and although he only had a smile and an antiquated tub of a motorcar, and though both he and Clover were plunged into a murder mysterv that threatened destruction. Cupid was on his side —and there you are. a picture of beauty and an entertaining feature throughout. "Secrets of a Beauty Parlor," a screaming two-reel Key stone comedy, presented by an all-star cast, will be the added attraction of the program. Mother Forces Her Son to Enroll For Service Philadelphia, June 15. A white haired woman walked into headquar ters of the registration commission in City Hall yesterday with an unshaven, etoop-shouldered man following her reluctantly. He is my son," she told a registrar, "and I want him to register." The man demurred, muttering something about his unwillingness to fight and that he did not know his exact age. He made an effort to reach the door. The mother prevented his exit, however, and declared she was cer tain he was 28 years old. "I want him to do his duty," she ex plained, "and he has been trying for a week to get out of it. I do not want my son to be a slacker." Can Present Ice Prices Be Maintained? IT depends altogether on tHe ice Along with every commodity the price of ice lias been raised in practically every section of the country. The tremendous advance in the price of coal used for ice manufacture, labor, upkeep, feed, etc., made an advance in price im perative. With the cost of labor increasing all the time the work the "ice man" has to do in a given time attains greater importance. Don't Delay The "Ice Man" If an ice .wagon driver is compelled to make use less trips to the refrigerator to lug pieces of ice and to perform countless duties required by the house wife the cost of such service is bound to increase. You can speed the ice wagons by answering the call promptly, by having the change or coupons ready and by caring for your own ice which is really the only sanitary way. Display in a prominent place the ice card giving the amount of ice you desire. ThOe cards may be had upon request to the driver. ' The cost of Ice Delivery is greater than the cost of the ice. Anything that is done to reduce delivery expenses will, in the end, have a tendency to keep prices down to a minimum. United Ice & Coal Co. LSISiLi2.LIJ}L'.,. . Forster & Cowden Sts. STICK TO OUR LANGUAGE, T. R. Living in U. S. Involves Being American All Through, Declares Colonel Lincoln, Neb., June 15. With all the vigor at his command Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, addressing sev eral thousand persons assembled on the Capitol grounds yesterday after noon, the last day of the semicenten nial celebration of Nebraska, strove to drive home the fundamental truths of the doctrine of Americanism. His speech was tempered with kindly con sideration for those of foreign blood In the United Staes, but he was em phatic in pointing out the duty of every American at the present time. One of Mr. Roosevelt's digressions from his written address was to fit# the German-language newspapers of the country. "These newspapers printed in Ger man are a fit subject for the attention of the censor." he said. "I think the English language, seeing it as our language, does pretty well without the assistance of the German or any other tongue. "I might have been sheriff of my county," Mr. Roosevelt continued, "but I never would have been President if I had learned and only spoke Dutch, the language of my ancestors. "I have a friend who has just en listed in the army. He has a splendid little family of a wife and four dren. He himself was born in Sweden, but he is all American and a good one, too. Now I don't want that man's children to speak Swedish and my children speak Dutch because I want them to understand each other." In the course of his address Colonel Roosevelt asserted that "the clergy man who does not put his flag above the church had better close his church and keep it closed." Mr. Roosevelt urged farmers to buy Liberty Bonds and said: "If you den't invest in the Liberty Loan, don't jump on Wall Street when Wall' Street does."
