10 DAUPHIN HARD LOSERS IN GAME WITH NEWPORT—FRANCIS OUIMET STARTS TODAY SURPRISES IN MAJOR BATTLES American League Teams Shift Positions; Nationals Moving Fast Contrary to expectations there •were several surprises In the results of the Sunday games played In the Went In the American League and as a consequence every club com posing the first flight of the cham pionship table {shifted in position. Chicago, the one club to play true to .form, by defeating the Athletics, combined with the Red Sox defeat at Cleveland, went again Into the lead, although the margin is a small one. The game between Cleveland and Boston meant much to both clubs, and when the Indians won by %, shutout it not only pulled the Red Sox out of first place, but It gave Cleveland a chance to advance to third. But this latter change was due to the Browns defeating the Yankees that sent New York down to the bottom of the first division. Detroit, which has been in a threat ening position for some time, missed a chance to crawl closer to the lead ers by dropping a one-sided game to ■Washington- Americans FUjht Hard The American League leaders have found the going hard the past week, and Boston regained the lead Friday, only to lose it again yes terday. While Chicago could do lit tle better than break even, Boston won five, lost three and tied one. The Red Sox made their best gain of the week at the expense of the Athletics, the two teams playing six games in three days, of which Bos ton won all but one. Chicago broke even in two games with Cleveland, won three out of five from Detroit, lost to the Athletics on Saturday and won yesterday's game. Three outstanding features mark ed the pennant fights during the past week. They were: 1. The spurt of the Giants and the elump of the Phillies. 2. The ousting of the White Sox from the lead by the Red Sox, only for Chicago to gain the supremacy again. 3. The failure of Ty Cobb to pass his record after hitting safely in thirty-five games. Giants Made Big Gain The McGraw men made the big gest gain they have made in their fight thus far. To-day they lead the Phillies by six games and a half. During the week they won six out of seven battles, while the Phillies were dropping six out of their seven games. In the American League the sen sation was the overhauling of the great White Sox bunch by the world's champions. But yesterday the White Sox beat the Athletics, while Boston was losing, and are now a game to the good again. During the week Boston won five out of its seven contests, while the White Sox were dropping five of their nine combats. The Red Sox began their invasion of the west at Cleveland with a defeat. Other changes in the National League were St. Louis' jump Into third place and the Reds' spurt, which led them to a tie with the Cub 3 %)r the coveted first division. West End A.

Harrisburg Motive Power Team Gets Hard Jolt; Trenton Has Easy Victory Games in the Pennsylvania Rail road Motive Power League on Satur day were only ordinary. Harris burg lost to New York, score 16 to 6. Numerous errors by Harrisburg paved the way to an easy win for the Gothamites. The offensive feats of the game were credited to Gray, Leary and Day, each collecting four hits on five visits to the plate. The all-around work of - Gray excelled, who, in addition to his hitting, field ed his position faultlessly. Poor fielding, especially by the custodians of the outer garden of the Baltimore team, gave Philadelphia an easy victory at the Monumental City, 9 to 1. The Quakers landed on Mason In the opening session and be fore Peck, who was called to the rescue, could stem the tide, they had registered three counts. The feature playes were performed by Palmer, Heist, Ryan and Carney, their field ing and hitting playing an impor tant part In the victory. Trenton remained the pacemaker of the league by defeating Wilming ton in a listless slugfest, 21 to 10. Hunn, Wilmington's star pitcher, was badly mauled by the champs in the first inning, a total of six hits allow ing as many runs to cross the plate. Although his teammates evened mat ters in the second round, he was again pounded hard in the sixth and was ushered to the showers; Ott, who relieved BUI Matthews, after the eventful first, pitched a grand game, holding the visitors to five hits. The game wsv> featured by a wallop for a tour of the bases by Parkipson. STATE COI.LBGE AVIATOR Philadelphia, July 9. William C. ("Whitey") Thomas, of Atlantic City, and former football star at State Col lege, has been notified to report to the linited States Aviation Training School at Essington. Thomas passed the examination for enlisting in the aviation corps several weeks ago. Whitey Thomas before he entered State College was an all-around ath lete at Atlantic City and during the summer was a beach lifeguard sta tioned at Chelsea. After graduation from State he played last year on the football team of the Conshohocken A. C. f % Phil Cooney Makes I v Triple Play Unassisted Des Moines, la., July 9. Phil Cooney, second baseman with the Omaha club, is the first Western Leaguer to execute a triple play unaided, according to records avail able here. Cooney gained the honor in a game with Denver, played In that city, when he took a line drive in the sixth inning, tagged a base runner who had started from first, and then hopped onto the second bag before another runner could return from the trip he had started toward third. Records show It to be the first Individual triple play In Ave years In organized baseball, and the ninth time It had been made In a period of thirty-nine yeafe. Neal Ball, then with Cleveland, made the last big league triple play unassisted. Ball Is now with New Haven, of the Eastern Association. I the race. Chambersburg was obllg [ ed to give up but the balance of the schedule will be played out and there will be battles royal. The above | picture was taken at Hagerstown on "yporili^hi Copyright, 1817, The Trilraae Association (SSew Tork Tribune), THE CAGEY DUFFER SPEAKS I rarely make a hole in par; My mashie often seems to stutter; My driving isn't very far, And I'm no Travis with the putter. My brassie shot's bereft of thrills; In fact, I very seldom try one; And I grow mottled at the gills When I am forced to pitch a high one. I'm no Gil Nichols off the tee. And (begging Mr. Evans' pardon) I rarely ever grab a three Or otherwise resemble Vardon. And yet I'm very rarely stung; The first tee never finds me napping; For when the ball-a-hole is sprung I lead the world at handicapping. WHO LEADS AT THIRD A few days ago in a fanatical group of argument starters some one opened the debate as to the best third baseman now in baseball. This, of course, was to include all departments of play. The debate, in its main allotments, was banked around three names— Larry Gardner, of the Red Sox; Frank Baker of the Yankees, and Heinle Zimmerman, of the Giants—with Buck Weaver, of the White Sox, also re ceiving polite mention. While the debate was still raging some non-combatant startled the group with this delayed query—"What's the matter with Heinle Groh, of the Reds?" Upon turning back to the averages it was soon found that nothing at all was the matter with I-leinie Groh. The facts proved were as follows: 1. That he was as quick an.d as shifty around third as any of them. 2. That he was outbatting them all by a healthy margin. 3. That he had scored more runs than any ball player in either league, two more than Buck Weaver, in second place—more than Cobb, Speaker or any of the others. Therefore, if Mr. Groh isn't the season's most valuable third basemap so far, who is—and why? ' PROTEST CONSIDERED Sir—l see where the Western Golf Association has forbidden the con cession of putts. I protest against this bitterly, for I have developed the unfortunate habit lately of missing the short ones. Are we to have no liberty left at all? DUFFER. For all that, the rule against the concession of puits Is a very good one. We recall several instances where golfers complained bitterly against op ponents who forced them to hole out the short ones. Why should they be conceded? THE FED STAR In the defunct Federal League the leeading batting battle was between Benny Kauff and Lee Magee. These two were considered the stars of the circuit. To-day Eddie Roush, of the Reds, has distanced both. The Red Panther is 58 points beyond Kauff and 103 points beyond Magee. He has a fine chance now to lead the league—an honor that Benny Kauff would give a right leg to achieve. All of which recalls the astounding fact that the Reds now have four .300 batsmen—'the list embracing Roush, Chase, Clarke and Groh a catcher, two infielders and an outfielder. With Neale and Griffith only a stride or two In the rear, the Reds are now leading the league at bat, with no less than six men above .280, the best showing of the year upon attack. Matty will achieve no pennant this season, but there is a first class chance that he will gain his ambition to finish among the first four—and there is a fair chance that he may ranne as high as third. Gavvy Cravath was supposed to be out upon the gray edge last season. Yet to date he is not only batting over .300, but has scored more runs than any man in baseball, barring only Groh and Weaver. The Cactus has no idea of subsiding yet. Another entry for the Western amateur golf championship is James Scott Worthington of Mid-Surrey, England. The Western realm is ex panding almost beyond belief. Jackson A. C., Fielding Helps in Close Contest Jackson A. C. won more laurels Saturday, defeating P. R. R. Ap prentices, score 8 to 5.

DAUPHIN DROPS CLOSE.CQNTEST Newport Winner in Eleventh Inning; Marysville's Close Call With Halifax Dauphin's pennant hopes were given a severe Jolt Saturday at the hands of Newport, the present league leaders. The game went eleven in nings before Newport emerged the victor, score 2-1. Gilday, Dauphin's crack mounds man and Strieker, Newport's hope, did the mound work for their re spective teams. Gilday was touched for eleven safe bingles, while Striek er left the hard hitting Dauphin ag gregation off with five swats. New port placed quite a different line-up than the one used Wednesday. Kep ner, the second baseman, was bench ed and Smith was brought in from the outfield to play the keystone sack. Hooper was used in place of Smith, while Ray Wertz, formerly of the Scranton New York State League, held down the initial sack. Marysville's Close Call Marysville nosed out a victory from the Halifax nine in the last inning. Harry Biever allowed the champs only eight hits and was op posed by Piatt, who was touched up for nine safeties. Mlllersburg continues to lose "INSID You want why pay for Import Duty?

Harrisburg Division Wins in Railroad League Game In the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Division series, Harrisburg Division won a five-inning game over General Office nine, score 8 to 0. The game was late in starting and was called to allow Harrisburg to catch their train. The hitting of Hassler and Bricker and the field ing of Larkin, and pitching of Win ter were features. Port Richmond made it eight straight, shutting out Reading Car Shops, score 7 to 0. The leaders put up a brilliant exhibition. Atlantic City won a close game from St. Clair, score 3 to 1. Mason allowed St. Clair but three hits. Both •teams played an errorless game. Thum played a sensational game at second for the visitors. Phamokin Division walked all over the Transportation nine at Tabor, winning by a score of 11 to 2. The Reading Locomotive Shops shut out Spring Garden, score 4 to 0. JULY 9, 1917. WELLY'S jf CORNER On Wednesday the New York State League will start a new season with six clubs, A schedule has been arranged. Present indications are that Reading will play games at Al bany. On July 4 the total attend ance at Reading was not over 1,500 for two games. There was a time I when Harrisburg and Reading sel dom played a game with less than 2;000. According to Buck Ramsey, who was leader of the Harrisburg Or phans, the New York State League will pull through, but not show prof-: its financially. He is also of the be lief that had the league president and magnates put the same efforts to take care of Harrisburg as they are doing to keep the league going there would be baseball in Harris burg and an eight-club circuit, with all towns drawing paying crowds. On July 18 the second shoot in the four-city Trapshootlng League will be held in this city. Harrisburg won the first contest at Lancaster. West Fairview shooters were runners-up and give notice that they will come back strong in the second match. There is considerable rivalry between Harrisburg and West . Fairview sportsmen and shooters look for a big day when they meet next week. With more than half the games played in the Dauphin-Perry League It looks like a battle royal between Newport and Dauphin for honors. These teams met Saturday and extra innings were necessary. Dauphin was without the services of two star players. It broke up the team work, but that old-time "pluck" was in evi dence and Manager Lyter's boys made a great flght. Washington and Jefferson Collega counts on playing Its full schedule of football games this fall, and also expects to have as good a team as ever on the gridiron. A good sched ule has been arranged. The performance of the InfleM of the Louisville American Association club in going through a stretch of 232 games, the continuity of which was first broken recently, without a single member having missed an in ning of play, is believed to consti tute a record. The infield, composed of J. Kirke at first, Joseph McCarthy at second, Corriden at third and Wilbur Roach at shortstop, went through 167 games last year and 65 games this season without a break. Closing of the Three I season yes terday will throw approximately 125 baseball players out of employment. President A. R. Tierney said, how ever, that although the clubs lost heavily during the eight weeks of play, the players will be pait' In full. Some remarkable figures are shown In a number of balance sheets issued by several of the big English soccer clubs as the result of last season's working. Everton, who lost $743 In the season 1915-16, turned in a profit of $7,361. Gate receipts for the sea son totaled $35,079, and in addition to investing $12,500 in the war loan, i the famous club carried forward th I large amount of $86,917.
