SHICKLEY IS LEADING BATTERS IN ALLISON HILL LEAGUE—RACING AT POTTSTOWN
CAMP'S PUN TO
HAVE FOOTBALL
Graduates Receive Circular
Suggesting Seat Purchases;
Make Game Possible
New York, June 26.—Walter
Camp, dean of Yale football author
ities, has suggested that in order to
settle the question as to whether
football shall be played this fall or
not, a circular letter be sent to grad
uates asking them to subscribe for
seats in case they favor the reten- |
tion of the game. He points out j
that if conditions should be such as j
to prevent the contests provision
might be made that the sums neces- j
sary to reserve seats could be ap-1
plied to other sources such as the
continuation of teachers' salaries.
Plan Is Good One
"By adopting this means," states
Mr. Camp, "the university authori
ties would know positively what they
can afford to expend in preparation,
and in time to act
and their word would be accepted
loyally if they determined that con
ditions in the fall made it inadvis
able to have football. No one is l
desirous of forgetting the serious',
business at hand but a clearer un-1
derstanding of the situation would |
help on all sides. The chances are
that such a course would clear the j
war for football and general athlet
ics of a character less dependent |
upon large expenditures but quite!
enough to furnish interest and re-!
laxation from what would otherwise j
be too depressing influences."

SHICKLEY LEADS
IN STICK WORK;
ALLISON LEADERS
"Pete" Shickley, captain and
catcher of the Stanley team of the
Allison Hill League is topping that
organization as batter for the con
tests that have been, played to last
Thursday. "Pete" has clouted the
ball at a .428 clip, and it is his clever
playing both at the bat and in the
field that has inspired confidence
into his teammates, giving them the
lead at the present time.
Badorf, another StanJey player
has the highest average in the
league, but he has played in fewer
games. A glance at the averages
reveals the fact that 20 players are
hitting at a .333 pace or better. The
averages are made possible through
the courtesy of the secretary of the
league. He has compiled his figures
giving the number of innings played,
rather than, the number of the con
tests. At present six innings are
played. Earlier and later, but five
innings are gone through before
darkness descends.
Hawley Is Setting Pace
Captain and Manager Hawley is
showing the way to the rest of the
Galahad nine. He has the top aver
age of .384. Shaffer is leading the
Rosewood clouters with a stick aver
age of .388. Earl Killinger is close
at his heels with .333. McCurdy,
with .571, and Ibach, with an, aver
age of .429, are the leading willow
artists for the Reading tossers.
The averages as compiled by the
secretary of the league, are as fol
lows:

THE ULTIMATE
Since the world is running red
With its dying and its dead.
And the crimson flow is even dripping dally from the sky,
Where each river, hill and plain
Knows its ghastly carmine stain—
So the only solace left is where the Red Cross banners fly.
There are those who may not fight
Nor keep watch beyond the night,
Where so many million others face the chance that comes to die;
Eut for those who may not go
There's no greater aid to know
Than to help the helping legions where the Red Cross banners fly.
AS FOR FOOTBALL
There is no man in America who knows more about football in general
or particular, embracing all the ingredients, than Walter Camp.
In a recent statement he takes up the idea of football for the fall sea
son, which is now only three months away. Mr. Camp believes that foot
ball, even with all regular material—that is, all veterans, missing—should
be encouraged.
He is undoubtedly right. As long as colleges are to remain open and
carry on their work there is r.o finer training for any physical purpose \
than the gridiron holds.
Those who remain will undoubtedly give up much of their time to drill.
Eut the Army and the Navy have shown that football practice and play
do not interfere with this arrangement.
"Keep business going as usual" might apply just as well to football as
anything else. It has been shown that a football schedule would not keep
any one back from army life, as nearly every regular in the land has al
ready gone in. The material would be in the main new and young; there
would be nothing like old-time interest in the games as a spectacle, but
the general scheme would work for good.
THE I MP AUTOMATON
Dear Sir: I have never believed in all players assaulting or cursing
umpires. I believe the umpire should be given complete authority to rule
the game. But in the last year or two I have noted an increased arrogance
on the part of umpires, who have shown that a little authority enlarged
their craniums beyond all reason. An umpire, having authority, can stop
rowdy tactics on the part of the player immediately. But he should be an
automaton. He has no right to help provoke trouble by entering into any
argument. His place ia to bring'order about, not to produce disorder.
R. K. J.
One of the main troubles is that a number of our umpires have lately
developed artistic temperament. And artistic temperament and umpiring
are further apart than any other two things in the world, including the
two poles and war and peace.
"Submarine sinkings rise." Has some wily inventor discarded the steel
and wooden boat for the cork ship?
FATE AND THE ENSEMBLE
Fate blocks the road for the halting crew
Who fade from the drive with the goal in view;
Fate has a jolt that is seven ply
For those afraid of another try;
Fate is a mammoth of brawn and might,
But Fate is a quitter to those who fight.
There are excessively few good umpires. Most of them are several
degrees below par. But for all that we observe no mad stampede on the
part of the populace to fill the gaps and Improve conditions.
You can get 10,000,000 men to fight along the front lines in Europe But
getting 1,000 willing to umpire is beyond any reasonable hope. Not even
the draft would be sufficient.
THE RED ROAD
Here goes the world that we used to know,
Floundering on through the crimson glow,
World of monarchs and world of slaves,
Stumbling over its new-made graves,
Driving on to the goal ahead
Over the living an.d over the dead.
But, after all, though a trifle bad,
. It's the only world we have ever had.
"Why," asks a Pennsylvania critic, "do you insist on boosting Alexander
over Johnson?" We don't. But we have mentioned the former oftener of
late because he is a vital factor in a pennant race an.d the other star isn't.
There are better batsmen in the game than Wally Pipp, the Yankee 7 5
but when it comes to driving mates over the plate he has no superior not
even Cobb or Speaker. Last season he led both as a pinch-hitter extra
ordinary, and only recently in. three successive games he drove in ten
precious tallies with his long range firing.

Game; Scores Only Run
Lescure scored the only run tallied
In a six-inning contest played last
evening between the Reading and
Galahad teams of the Allison
League. At the close of the six In
nings the score stood: Reading, 1;
Galahad, 0.
I The scoring took place In the
i fourth Inning when Lescure singled,
j stole second, took third on a passed
I ball and slid into home on a fielder's
i choice. All told, the Reading sec
i ond sacker stole three bases, scored
! the only run, and rapr.ed out two
singles. Both shortstops played
nifty ball. Rinehart rfiade a sensa
tional one-hand stab, while Mc-
Curdy knocked down a fast liner
that looked like a Kure hit and
nailed the runner at first.
Connor and both pitched
good ball. Connor struck out six
batters, while Levan wheezed five.
Neither team was charged with an
error. To-night Stanloy and Rose

Memorial Bed For Hero
on Harvard Football Team
Paris June 26. —In an American]
Ambulance Hospital at Neuilly there
has recently been endowed a bed. "in
memory of DMwyn Parrish Starr." a
famous Harvard quarterback. The
endowment is unique in that each
convalescent soldier who leaves ill
will be supplied with fifty francs
($10). The Porcelain Club at Harv
ard will maintain the bed for at!
least one year, and may extend the
endowment throughout the war.
Starr was killed "somewhere in
France." September 15, 1916. when
ns lieutenant in the Coldstream
Guards, he led in a successful as
sault on an enemy trench. He had
previously had charge of a machine
gun section in Gallipoli. Three thou
sand Americans by individual gifts
have so far supported this hospital
and 100 cents of every dollar con
tributed goes to actual hospital re

Large Monitors Aid
Advances at Triest
Grado, Gulf of Trieste.—British
monitors played an important part
in the Italian advance upon Trieste.
They took up positions midway up
the gulf where their Runs could bear
upon the aeroplane hangars and the
multifarious military establishments
which surround Presecco and Conto
vello, twin villages upon the main
road and railway to Trieste, both
constituting important depots for the
Austrian air service and general sup
plies.
When the first gun spoke a great
shell went hooting into the distance
and an Italian scouting hydroplane
duly marked it down upon the rail
way line south of Prosecco. The sec
ond shot landed a little north of the
first, hitting the railway again at a
point where a Trieste-bound train
was passing. The train vanished in
ruin.
The other monitors arrived at
their stations, and the bombardment
continued in a tremendous, measured
rhythm. Each monitor fired two
hours. They smashed the hangars,
flattened the railway station of Pro
secco, destroyed the railway and via
duct, and produced a great fire near
Contovello, whose peak of bright
flame was visible out into the gulf.
