FRIDAY EVENING,
&&antlan£lJZice
Copyright, 1917, The Tribune Association (Nev York Tribune).
Just what effect the forthcoming draft will have upon baseball Is not
yet outlined for public consumption. -
We have heard two definite propositions stated. First—That no ball
players would be drafted.
Second —That any ball player drafted would be given until October to
report. The last proposition may be true. The first doesn't sound reason
able. Ball players will undoubtedly be treated just as other citizens. It
may be the exemption board will try and figure things out in such a way
that no one club will be unduly broken up while others lose no valuable
flesh.
It may be also that any players drafted, especially those who have been
drilling in the American League, will be given until October to report.
For by October they will be far better drilled than any rookies secured in
Auglist or September.
But as there are any number of unmarried ball players between the
ages of twenty-one and thirty who are in first class physical shape, many
of these will be called from the diamond toward the trench—and many
more will very likely go after the season is over.
PHYSICAL CONDITION'S
One expert of the game who has been following baseball for over
twenty years says that, very few will be accepted for physical reasons.
His idea is that most ball players have gnarled or broken fingers, and
that good fingers are among the essentials for military service.
He says also that any number of ball players have been badly spiked or
cut at one time or another and that few will be found with feet and legs
in proper condition for service.
"I talked with a recruiting sergeant about this baseball problem," he
said, "and I was informed that the sergeant in question had examined over
twenty supposedly fine physical specimens and that for reasons assigned
above only one could be accepted by the army."
Just how far a broken, twisted or gnarled finger would figure in elimina
tion we do not know. Most ball players have this defect. But until they
actually come up for army examination the correct status will not be
known.
ARMY AND SPORT
It is a queer fact that any number of athletes who might be football,
baseball or tennis stars cannot pass the army examination.
And many others who, physically, are hardly considered husky enough
for football or baseball or the ring, are O. K. in the Khaki League.
We know several huiky citizens, athletes in training only a brief while
back, who have been dropped out at various quarters arranged for the
Officers' Reserve Corps.
In some cases old football or baseball Injuries that had been, forgotten
brought disqualification when the long hiking and the grind of the' drill
began to get in its work.
\et training in sport has made it far easier for those who were 're
tained. Those accustomed to hard exercise haVe found the military train
ing easy enough to stand where upon others, unused to a life in the open,
the routine fell with a stunning crash.
A man, for example, who plays a good many sets of tennis a week or
who plays golf with fair frequency takes but little time to get in fine
shape for the hiking and drilling.
JOHNNY* OVERTON OR HOWARD BERRY
Take for leading illustrations the cases of Johnny Overton and Howard
Berry.
Overton has been training several years for 'cross-country runs and
mile sprints. A 'cross-country hike would be nothing to him.
Howard Berry has been playing football and baseball and in between
indulging in a life upon the track—running, jumping and the like. A
day or two and he could stand any physical ordeal.
ANOTHER SIDE
But one athlete put the matter to us in another way. "It isn't the
matter of physical ability," he said, "but it is often a matter of nerves. I
don t mean that one may be afraid. But in sport you get direct competi
tion and there is always a variety. In the military end there is a certain
routine which begins to work upon many nervous systems. In this way
a man who might last out &. hard football game easily might cave in at
some calisthentic drill where the monotony of the thing would soon blot
out his nervous force."
SPORT AND THE RED CROSS
Sport must not be overlooked as an aid in still another direction. While
no figures have been published as to the amount of money turned in to the
Red Cross through sporting activities, the total undoubtedly runs high.
Through baseball, golf, tennis, and other endeavors several hundreds
of thousands of dollars have been raised and by the end of the summer
over a million will be turned in through these channels.
There is a scheme now under way to have two pitched clubs for the
major leagues play a Red Cross series in October. An undertaking of this
sort would raise a hogshead of gold in a two weeks' schedule.
, t S u° me ,Z De haß BU )f K ® sted that an aviation corps be formed from some
of the wild young pitchers now infesting thA N. P. These would find no
trouble in going up into the air, but having arrived there are more than
one or two who couldn't float over the center of Berlin and hit the city
TENNIS TEAMS TO MEET
An interesting tennis match is
scheduled for to-morrow afternoon,
when the Prospect Club, of
York, will play the Harrisburg Park
Tennis Association team on the Res
ervoir courts. The match will start
at 3.15 o'clock. Men's and mixed dou
bles and men's singles will be played.
H. E. Zimmerman Is
New City Champion
Herbert E. (Heinie) Zimmerman
won the title of city golf champion
when he defeated his brother. Charles
E. Zimmerman, over the Reservoir
fu'' course yesterday afternoon. In
the final of the Liberty tournament,
by the score of 6 up and 5 to play.
A gallery of thirty or forty enthu
siasts followed the play and much
comment was made on the ability
shown by the two brothers. It was
nip and tuck most of the way until
the beginning of the third round,
when Herbert led. 4 up. after which
there was no question in the minds
of those who followed tho play as to
who would be the final winner.
It was a grat match all the way
through. Herbert excelling in driving
and putting, while Charles had the
advantage of better approaching.
The new champion is a striking
example of what has been accom
plished by boys who started their ca
reers on the Reservoir links. Herbert
is a graduate of Central High School,
class of 1915, and has been playtns
but two years, while his brother has
been playing a few years longer.
For winning the city championship
he will receive a gold medal and his
brother, as runner-up, will receive a
silver medal. These medals are in
the hands of a local Jew ler and will
be turned over as soon as they are
suitably inscribed.
The match play scores are as fol
lows: Herbert—Bogey, 38; first round,
36; second round, 26; third round, 39;
Charles—Bogey, 38; first round, 39;
second round. 39; third round, 38.

day until he had examined each set
of quarters and Inspected virtually
every man in his command.
As the entire army is divided into
squads, the majority of which are
billeted out with the inhabitants of
the district, the task of inspection
was a tremendous one and could be
accomplished only by the amazing ac
tivity of the general, who almost ran
his staff off their legs and set a pace
obviously stiff for the. youngest of
the men. The result of the inspection
was apparently satisfactory in the
main, for the general criticised only
seldom and everywhere had a good
word for the results achieved by the
troops in cleaning up the quarters
into which they have moved.
BIG TIME AT YEAGEHTOWN
Lewistown. Pa.. July 20.—A big flag
fiole was erected at Red Men's hall

HAHRISBTTRCr TELEGRAPH
EXPECT CHANGES
IN D-P RACE
Standing of Teams Will Most
Likely Be Affected by To
morrow's Results
With just one and one-half games
separating the Newport leaders from
Dauphin and enough protested
games on the uncertain list, the Dau-
Phin-Perry League race is hot. Im
portant games are scheduled for to
morrow. Duncannon will Journey to
Marysville whero Manager Duncan's
n ' ne will meet the MaVysville
champs; the fast moving Halifax
squad will play the Newport nine
and Dauphin will line up against the
tail-end Millersburg team. Dauphin
should he having an easy time with
the tail-end Millersburg bunch on
the upper end team's diamond. Buck
Gilday will hurl for Dauphin, with
Manager Ducky Rhoads catching
him. To-morrow is Yarrlson's turn
to hurl and he will likely occupy the
mound with Buffington receiving
him.
When Duncannon and Marysville
line up, a hotly contested game can
always be expected. Each team will
use their regular line-up, which now
includes several young players, in
to-morrow's conflict. Brenner, the
Bucknell slab artist, and Dearolf
will be the Duncannon battery. Piatt
will hurl for Marysville with Red
Rowe receiving him.
Halifax gave Newport two hard
games in the first series this year
and dropped one herirtbreaker after
twelve innings of battle. The team
has won four out of the last Ave
games played and most of these
were from the strong teams. Biever
and Minnich will be the battery for
Halifax, while Strieker and Reeder
will be Manager Prevost's battery.
