SPORTS-HARRISBURG PLAYERS QUIT—LEAGUE MAGNATES TO DECIDE FUTURE TONIGHT REFUSE OUIMET AMATEUR RIGHTS National Body Notifies Star by Letter That He Is Still Professional Boston, July 6.—Francis Oulmet, former amateur and open golf champion, left here for Chicago yes terday possessed of the knowledge that the executive committee of the United States Golf Association had refused his request for reinstatement as an amateur, he having received a letter to that effect from Secre t- ir> Howard F. Whttney. At the re cent meeting of the executive com mittee at which Oulmet and J. H. Sullivan, Jr.. appeared to present evidence as to why they should be reinstated, Mr. Whitney was among tho absentees, although he was the one who set tho date for the hear ing. The other committeemen also were absent, but the committee was unanimous in the finding, which was forwarded to Oulmet in the form of a letter: I Ix'ltcr For Ouimet i "I am instructed by the executive j committee of the United States Golf Association to Inform you -that after '■ the hearing given at your request in ; New York on June 8, 1917, and lnas- ] much as your statement presented at that time proved that you are still engaged in the sale of golf supplies, as you were at the time of your disqualification under Ruling No. fi. ! Section 7, of the bylaws of the U. S. G. A., and you having presented no r.ew facts or conditions which would alter this situation. It is the ! unanimous decision of the executive committee that your application for reinstatement as an amateur cannot j be granted. At the hearing in New York Oui-1 mot told the committee members j of various offers he had turned j down, acceptance of which would j have been to his financial better ment. He presented affidavits bear-j lng on his duties while In the em plpv of Wright & Ditson and of i wh.it his salary had been. He in formed the committee that in the Ouimet <Sr Sullivan store last year golf had figured as about two-thirds of the total business done, but that this year it would be no more than twenty per cent. The committee intimated that if Ouimet and Sullivan would elimi nate golf from their business they mltht be reinstated. Neither of the partners has any present intention j of sliminating golf from their husl- j nffcs and neither believes that it is any crime agaiiyt amateurism to re tain that branch of supplies.

ALAN SEEGER American—Member of the Foreign Legion—Killed In Action July 4, 1916 Somewhere in France where crosses lean Above so many graves to-day; Where faded lilies place their screen, •And summer winds kneel down to pray; You, who first ventured over-seas, To watch, at last, the light grow dim, God must have sent his gentlest breeze To bring your spirit back to Him. Somewhere in France, dust unto dust, You wait beyond the Inn of Life, Where through lon.e nights the guarding crust Shuts out the clamor of the strife; But far above the crimson sod No barrier your soul might stop. When, from the Great White Throne of God You see the Legion cross the top. A year ago to-day we knew i The endless melody of song; You saw that summer skies were blue— That drifting summer days were long; You waited, while the twilight's breath Came crooning some old serenade, To hold your "rendezvous with Death At some disputed barricade." To-day the Legion holds the line Unbroken by the driving mass. Where you have helped to write the sign in dripping blood—"They Shall Not Pass!" And now beyond the far divide You see the Starry Flag advance Among the millions who have died For love of Liebrty and France.. The Eagle's wings at last are spread Above a never beaten shield, Where still among the deathless dead Your spectre haunts the clotted field; ; And borne afar on summer's breath You send this message hurtling through— "l had a rendezvous with Death — I did not fail that rendezvous!" While Ty Cobb has gone a vast number of games without missing a hit, we recall an even more astounding record. Some tlfteen years ago, when Nap Lajoie was at his best, around .400, he went twelve games without making a hit. At the end of the twelfth game Mons, Lajoie was on the verge of diving off some high steeple, but he finally pumped one safely out and then re sumed his old .400 stride. ARGUMENTS STARTING It is easy enough to open an argument. And one of the easiest ways we have found is to announce that Leonard will murder Kilbane—or In turn, to suggest that Kilbane will tear the heart out of Leonard. Both boxers have their backers in copious quantities. For the fact re mains that so far as advance dope is concerned no two nien were ever more evenly matched. Both are chockful of cleverness, both are fast and both £an hit. Kil bane outclassed Welsh almost as far as Leonard did, but Benny produced the K. (_>. which Johnny failed to show. A short bout between this pair will be very close to a draw. At tho best only a shade will exist, and this shade may fail either way. YOU ANSWER IT Kicking at umpires has cost ball players thousands of dollars In fines and Innumerable days of suspension upon the bench when they were badly needed by their club. On the other pinion, how many decisions have been changed by such protests? Some one has advanced the argument that military drill has put the needed morale into the White Sox machine. If this is so, the South Side around Chicago's way will be bitterly against any form of peace for the next ten years. Ruth is suspended. Then Pennock steps into Ruth's place and pitches a shut-out for a starter. The only way to demoralize or dismantle that Red Sox array is to get 'em groups of ten or twelve at a haul. Otherwise it's a waste of time. "Jack Curley wants $20,000 from Willard." No wonder. War has no horror or atrocity compared to suggesting to a fighter s manager that he work for a living.

The teams will start at 10 o'clock, making the trip by automobiles. Their scheduled game will bo played here in the afternoon. "Death Valley Jim" Seeks Honors on Firing Line Chicago. July r>.—"Death Valley | Jim" Scott, pitcher for the Chicago Americans, has applied for a place in the officers reserve training camp nt Loon Spring, Tex., It was made ■ known hero yesterday. Captain Franklin R. Kenney, recruiting of ficer for the central department- of the army; Charles A. Comiskey, president of the Chicago Americans, and B. B. Johnson, president of the league, indorsed the application, so ■ it is felt that Scott's days as a ma- I jor leaguer are numbered. Scott playing his ninth year ■ with the Chicago Americans. He I came to the club from the Wichita , team, of the Western League, and is , 31 years old. more than six feet tall nni! weighs about 185 pounds. He 1 ! lias been a star pitcher for several •seasons, having failed his team only in 191 >J, when he was suspended late in the season for fai'ure to obey club rules. His "comeback" from that episode this year has been notable. Latost figures show he has been in fifteen games, winning five Attd losing four and giving only 1,63 carried runs a game. Ho ranks fourth in the league in effectiveness. PHILLIES HAVE WAGNER DAY Philadelphia, JUily 6.—Getting in to the fashion orthe period. Phila delphia will honor Hans Wagner to day on the occasion of the Pirates' first game here of their second Kastern trip. The famous veteran, who lias been acting manager of the Pittsburgh club pending the arrival of Hugh Bezdek, the successor to limmle Callahan, will be presented with a tribute by local admirers. Wagner retired at the close of last season, but yielded to popular senti ment and returned to the game when the Pirates promised to sink deeply Into last place and the Pittsburgh fans were yelling for Cat's scalp. To day will be his first local appearance j of the season. j " ~ True English Many men wear High KnallDh Model Shoe* all the year 'round by pref erence.

They refused to go to Utica and play out the sched ule until July 8 as agreed upon. Pres ident J. H. Farreil was notified and made the players free agents. Don Brown and Holmes secured places on the Reading team. What the other players, will do is a ques tion. Some have applied for positions with' the Bethlehem Steel League. Others are seeking berths in the Pau phln-Perry and Blue Ridge leagues. The Farrell magnates will meet to night at Binghamton. The league leader denies that an ofter has come from Syracuse to. finance the league until the season ends. Utica will quit and while there is a probability that a six-club circuit will be formed, a general belief prevails that a general blow-up will come, Outside of Wilkes- Barre, where Manager "Red" Calhoun has. in spite of the league rules, built up a Class AA team, the crowds are not very encouraging. Cnah ut Elnilra Elmira has enough cash to keep'the team going, no matter what happens, but there is a belief in that city that the money may be put to a better use than to throw it away In baseball without any return. Scranton is drawing fairly well, and Binghamton and Syracuse are keeping together because they have good men back of them who are willing to lose money. None of the players returned to Harrisburg. This was a disappoint ment to hotel proprietors, who took good care of the players when they were in financial straitj. Since they have been getting cash they have for gotteh about board bills in this city. Efforts will be made to have the bills presented to President Farreil with a hope that he will make some efforts to have them paid. Those who can be reached legally may be brought back to this city. President Tener Meets McGraw at Flagraising Brooklyn, July 6.—The Brooklyn team celebrt. :ed the raising of the National pennant here yes terday by beatr g New York, 6 to 0. There was a parade of the play ers of both teams, i.nu'ed by a band, and President John Tener deliv ered an address. When the National League presi dent and Manager McGraw met at the flagpole Tener reached out his hand and said, "How aj-o you, John?" McGraw shook the executive's hand, but. apparently was too much surprised to do more than mumble somo unintelligible response. Then they walked part of the distance sidi by side to the plate. Cheney pitched erratic ball all the way, but after the first Inning kept the Giants away from the plate. Brooklyn batted all three New York pitchers hard.

An army of fans Is watching this closely-con tested race and many of them will attend one or tho other of the three games to-morrow. Dauphin and Newport will open a two-game series in a battle for first place on Marshall Held, Newport, to-morrow after noon; Halifax will journey to Marys ville. and the Duncannon steel makers will play at Millersburg. With much depending on it, the Newport-Dauphin game, at Newport, naturally is attracting more atten tion than any fciher of the trio ol to-morrow's conflicts. Manager Li ter's boys are ono and one-half games back of Newport and promise io make things interesting during tho series. Dauphin has been going like a house afire during the past several weeks. This Dauphin team has twice been compelled to be satisfied with sec ond place in the race for the gonfalon and fans are pulling hard for their favorites to land. Fans In practically all of the other towns of the circuit are pulling for the Dauphin countlans to win. for New port is one of the least liked squads in tho league. Good Game at Marysville The Halifax-Marysville game on the Seidel Park grounds at Marys ville will bo hard fought. The lead ership of the second division is the prize that is sought in this series. Marysville won the other two con flicts and so the Dauphin counUans are out for revenge. Harry Biever, who, like Tennyson's books, goes on forever, fresh from three triumphs within a week, will essay to land the coveted crown of wild olive for his team with Minnicli upholding him. Cy Davis, MarysviUe's musical twirl er, who held the Dauphin countians to but two and three hits in the first series, will likely be Manager Reagan's pitching choice. Red Rowe will catch him. After dropping three straight games, Manager Stewart Duncan has his Duncannon steelmakers ready to make a mighty effort to get back lntp the victory class at the expense of tho lowly Millersburg Millers to-morrow. Brenner and Waltz will be his battery choice. Coach Hanks will likely send Yarri son and P ffington to attend to the heavy duties for Millersburg. Add Daupbin-PERRY NOTES Dauphin-Perry Notes Dauphin is one of the most popu lar teams on the D-P circuit. Fans in towns that have been counted out of the league race are rooting hard for them to cut down the New port team's lead.

' WELLY'S jjf CORNER Harrisburg is no longer a part of the New York State League. This Is no surprise. It is a mystery how the team kept together on $75 a day. What will happen to-night at the meeting at Binghamton is also a mystery. According to sound busi ness arguments the best thing the leaguo can do is to quit for the sea son, and not resume until the war is over. An Important conference to-night will be at New York between Presl ident Tener met yesterday. It waa a writers who want to have a chance to say something in the McGraw case. The Giant leader and Pres ident Tener met yesterday, tl was a case of shake hands and smile. Manager T. B. Clouser, of the Bel mont A. C. takes exceptions to the accusations made by the Englnemen and Firemen team management, and stands by the umpire. According to reports Manager Clouser Is right. He has always been an advocate of clean sports and never has there been a charge that he has had um players on the circuit who wish to fatten up their long distance club bing record. While over tho regu lation distance, numerous homeruns are secured on this field which would not go for tho circuit on any of the other fields. In Wednesday after noon's game Rutter, of Marysville, and H. Wagner, of Newport, each secured a circuit drive and Hlppen steel, of Marysville, missed one by just two inches. In another game three four-sackers were made. Sel dom does a game go by without some clubber securing a homer. "Toppy" Hoar, the ex-Gettysburg College athlete, broke into the Dau phln-Perry box scores as a hurler for the Dauphin squad against New port Wednesday. He annexed a tri umph in the pomba/t and should prove a big aid to the Dauphin Coun tians in their fight for the rag. Ike McCord, who Jumped the Ha gerstown team of the Blue Ridge League to go with the Steelton team of the Bethlehem Steel Company League, made his appearance In tho D-P on Wednesday as Duncannon's second-sacker. He fielded well but was unable to secure a hit in the conflict. The Halifax team regularly has four Bowmans and two Bievers on its battle front. Harry Bowman covers left field; Sammy, right; Bob, third, and Paul, first. In addition, Ike is a substitute. None of them are related. Harry and R. Biever occupy the pitching mound and cov er the shortfield, respectively. Charles "Micky" Boyd has just made his appearance as an indi cator man. He replaces Hershey. Boyd ha 3 had plenty of experience as a player and should make a good man for the circuit. He managed the Duncannon team last season and caught and "played the infield in sev eral games. Zellers. the ex-Maeon, Ga., player made his initial appearance In a Marysville uniform on Wednesday, when he held the Newport leaders 17 pires who favors his team. Victor ies won by Belmont have been earn ed. Belmont Is one of the strong est cards in this city. Rumors are afloat that Monty Cross will manage the Hagerstown team of the Blue Ridge League. He Is now an umpire on the circuit It is the belief that a southern leader will be signed up. Fred Fulton again came out of a battle with honors last night. He handed Porky Flynn a jolt In the fourth round of a scheduled ten round bout. Fulton is anxious to get enough fame to put him strong with fight fans as a real contender for championship honors. Rosewood A. G. has quit the Alli son Hill League. Last night the Galahads forfeited the game to Reading. It lobks as if one of the best organizations in this city will go on the rocks. Rosewood objects to a league decision reversing an umpire and taking a game away from them. Efforts are being made to keep the circuit Intact. to five widely-scattered bingles. Ha is also quite a clubber and a fast man on the bases. He is another Steelton product. Newport set a new record, one that will stand for a long- time, last "Wednesday, when she tallied twelve runs in a single inning against Marysville, when Pitcher Piatt went aeroplaning and Davis failed to land the ship. Previous to that time Marysville had been leading. The final score was 13 to 9. Man- Use Your Head! Don't be satisfied to step Into the nearest store and Just say: "I wan'a straw hat."
