8 EAST END A. C. WINS THRILLING GAME AT HERSHEY—WANT HARRISBURG IN LEAGUE PLAN NEW LEAGUE FOR NEXT SEASON; WANT HARRISBURG Scran ton, Pa., July 30. —Club own ers of tho New York State League are planning for a complete reor ganization in 1918. That is, of course, with the understanding that the war is over and conditions war rant a complete resumption of sports. Haxrisburg Is to be considered as one of tho towns if a new associa tion is willing to assume control of the game in that city. How the pro moters of the new organization hope to overcome tho indebtedness held against Harrisburg by organized baseball is a question. According to a present under standing, Harrisburg faces a barrier In the shape of a $7,000 debt, for players and due former Troy owners for a franchise. However, it is the belief here that all the new owners will have £o obli gate themselves for its salaries. That should there be a reorganization of the iegaue as now outlined, organ ized baseball would have no say in anything but players' rights. That the franchise debt is a matter George Cockill will have to battle with. Among the changes contemplated are: Want New President To retain the present salary limit EAST END A. C. BIG SENSATION Win Game in Fourteenth by Timely Hitting; Thrills in Windup East End A. C. was a big sensation at Hershey Saturday, winning from the Men's Club team of that place, score 6 to 5.

East End hit timely, and with the exception of one inning, gave a brilliant fielding exhibition. Circus Catches Dunkle saved the game for Har- ! risburg in the eleventh by a one-; hand circus catch. Mountain was the | big hero in the fourteenth, pulling down a high drive in the fourteenth. The score: HERSHEY M. C. Players— R. H. O. A. E. Foster 1 1 1 6 1; Romig. lb ....... l l 7 2 0 !

To eliminate all bench managers, the owners figuring they can save money by employing only playing leaders. To make an effort to have a fran chise placed in Harrisburg again, pairing the Capital City with Read ing. To elect a new man In place of J. B. Farrell as president; whose duties as National Association secretary take up too much of his time to per mit his paying the proper attention to league affairs, although It is Far rell who has successfully steered the league through Its present difficulties. It was the general opinion among tho magnates that the present finan cial troubles of the circuit would have been eliminated this year had the present retrenchment policy been put into effect early in May. The high salaries, coupled with the in clement and rainy weather of the first two months, piled up the clubs' debts to such an extent that te strain simply had to tell on the clubs having but ordinary financial back ing, whereas had expenses been pruned down sooner all would have been able to survive the troublesome times. .

The season will.end in August and Trenton will be winner again this season. • A thrill a minute marked the game Saturday that enabled Trenton to clinch its third consecutive pennant in the Pennsylvania Railroad Motive Power League, defeating Philadelphia ir. the most bitterly fought clash of the season, 3 to 0. All the tl.ree er rors charged to the Quakers figured in the victory for the Champs. A pair of passes by Lindenmyer and a wild chuck by Ryan erased all hope of Philadelphia as a contender for the flag. Wilmington advanced to third place by defeating New York in a well played game. 5 to 1. Three hits and a brace of errors In the sixth settled the fuss In favor of the P. B. and W. boys. The hitting of Smith and all around playing of Duncan were the high spots of the game. Ted Meredith to Return in Big A. A. U. Track Meet Philadelphia, July 30.—When Law son Robertson, coach of the Univer sity of Pennsylvania track team, learned that Ted Meredith had left this city for Ithaca to study aviation, he stated that the famous runner was through with the cinder path and spiked shoes. But Ted is coming back—coming back for one more turn around with cinders with the straining pack close to his heels, breathing hard and fast under the terrific strain of his pace. Meredith is coming back from the aviation school at Ithaca to this city for the annual Middle States track and field championships, which, will be held either at Franklin Field or Houston Field on August 25. If Meredith continues in the avia tion school for another year his race on August 26 may be his last in this city, and perhaps his last anywhere, although there is a possibility of his entering the national championships at St. Louis the latter part of next month. SPORTSMEN TO MEET CoatesvlUe, Pa., July 30. Big preparations have been made for the ninth annual convention of the Penn sylvania United Sportsmer. which will convene ir\ this city on August 16, 17 and 18.

Mem bers of the State Game Commission, Assemblymen and eminent sportsmen from all over the State will attend. &C&antJancLßice Copyright, 1917, Tho Tribune Association (Nev York Tribune). WHEN GERMANY WILL WIN When you hear that I've outbattcd T. Raymond Cobb And made Alexander retire; When you hear that I've settled all strikes for the mob And am setting the nations on fire; When you hear that I've made Gilbert Nichols look slow And have shorn mighty Willard of mirth; As you ponder it over, G. Reader, you'll know The Kaiser has cleaned up the earth. When you hear that the Senate has made its last speech, And T. R. has ducked from a fight; When the High Cost of Living has drifted in reach And the price of potatoes is right; When the Movies have logical pictures to show, And a dollar will bring in its worth — Pray don't get excited, G. Reader, but know The Kaiser has cleaned up the earth. When New York detectives are unprobed at last, And Ty Cobb Is through with the stick; When I have lashed Byron and Keats to the mast. As a bard who is there with the kick; When other things happen, that never have yet In the loop of this mundanlc girth, Go to it, G. Reader, and slip in your bet That Wllhelm has cleaned up the earth. THE SERVICE RECORD Dear Sir:— I see where Eddie Collins and George Burns are given the records for unbroken service of two or three years in their two leagues If you will look up the record of Roger Connor, first baseman of tho New York Giants from ISB3 to 1893, ten years, you will be surprised. Roger told me that he had not missed a game, including exhibition games, in all that time. The fine record of Collins and Burns brought this matter up. G. R. (Waterbury). We haven't the records at hand for this span, but Roger's word should be sufficient. Unless his memory has slipped a cog, ho holds a record far beyond that of the two present day stars, who are both around 400 con secutive games without an absence from the field. Ten years of unbroken service would mean, at least 1,400 games—far | beyond any mark now upon the books. To beat this record Collins and I Burns would be forced to extend their unbroken march through another [thousand games. They would have to play In every scheduled battle [through 1924—which is just a trifle on beyond in these red-tinted, hectic times. "I don't know the best manager In the world," writes Foggle, "but I know the worst. He Is the manager who would be able to lose a pennant with the New York Giants." Losing a pennant with the Red Sox is another test They have had three managers in the last few years. Two of them have won world series and the third is still romping merrily along. GOLFERS IN THE WAR Some one brought up the discussion a few days ago as to what part golfers were taking in the present war from this side of the Atlantic Bob Gardner, twice amateur champion, goes Into the next officers' reserve corps. Max Marston and Hamilton Kerr have gone Into service with the navy. Henry Topping has joined the quartermaster's department. Phil Carter is driving an ambulance In France. Frank Blossom, former intercollegiate champion, is with the aviation corps. There are any number of others who have entered, including Ham Gardner, of \ ale, not mentioned above, but these are the more prominent I enlistments. S. R. O. "In all this repudiation talk that has come up, who is the greatest repudiator in the records?" inquires a reader. The records have the S. R. O. sign out. Nero was quite a repudiator, and another record holder is the present Kaiser, who has attempted to repudiate the entire world beyond German and Austrian territory. *I&CLQ<JXCJUL ©junvTivaacj ** ll SCORES OF YESTERDAY National League Philadelphia, 1; Cincinnati, 0.
