NEWPORT LEADERS HOPE TO DRIVE ANOTHER NAIL IN FLAG STAFF TO-MORROW
LEAGUE LEADER
ASKS REASONS
President of Dauphin-Perry
League Will Not Quit Until
He Gets Hearing
Marysville, Pa., Aug. 3. —President
E. C. Lutz, of Hanover, head of the
Dauphin-Perry League, refuses to
quit until the four objecting clubs,
Marysville, Duncannon, Mlllersburg
and Dauphin, show just cause why
he should do so. An official state
ment will be issued within the next
few days by leaders in the movement
to oust Lutz.
President Lutz does not believe he
has been treated squarely by D-P
officials. He has sent letters to heads
of the four protesting clubs setting
forth some of his views. Here is
what he has to say:
Refers to Rules
"Sir: Your communication recelv- ,
ed in which my resignation as presi
dency of the Dauphin-Perry League
is requested.
"As a protection to myself, I de
mand of you the exact reasons for
the desire for my removal. The lea
gue rules grant me the privilege of
defending my position and I intend
to demand a square deal in the mat
ter, which I am convinced 1 am not
getting now. The way you have
gone about the matter has caused j
me to lower my opinion of you con
siderably.
"The league ruling states: 'The
president of the league may be re
moved for just cause by a two-thirds
vote of the league.'
"The fact that Newport was not
informed of your intention and that
the club had no idea that you were
taking such a step would place the
action as more or less of an under
hand one and taken upon as a mat
ter which you were far from being
certain you were right on, I am sure.
"My resignation shall not be forth
coming until 1 receive from you the
exact reason and itemized; and then
a meeting of the league will be
called at which time it shall be de
termined whether or not the cause is
sufficient for dismissal.
"Very truly yours.
(Signed) "E. C. LUTZ."
Officials Deny Charges
Officials of several of the clubs
have denied the charges that the
protest arose as a result of Lutz's
decision on the protested Newport-
Dauphin game. They affirm that the
matter has been under consideration
for several weeks and steps had al
ready been taken,even before the
meeting was held in which the pro
test was considered. As a reason
for their action, they declare that
I-utz in Hanover cannot give the at
tention to the league that he could
while in Harrisburg and the atten
tion it requires.
*"Pop" Geers Is Winner
in Kalamazoo Truck Race
Kalamazoo, Mich., Aug. 3.—"Pop"
Geers is at last numbered among the
winning Grand Circuit drivers for
1917. He won his first victory yes
terday, piloting Judge Jones home
ahead of a field of 2.21 trotters.
Dagastan. the Murphy entry, was fa
\orite at 100 to 60, but in every heat
the Judge had the edge and out
trotted all opponents in the stretch.
The 2.20 pace, the chief event of
'he day's program, was captured by
the favorite. Ben Ali. While the time
jvas good, the winner was superior
to all contenders and responded
gamely when called on.
Peter Chenault sold at 25 to 10 for
thp field in the 2.14 trot, and the re
sult was never in doubt. Friday is
get-away day at Recreation Park,

TO CONTINUE ATHLETICS;
COLLEGE MEN TALK PLANS;
ADOPT TIMELY RESOLUTIONS
Washington, D. C\, Aug. 3.—Col
lege athletics will be continued this
fall despite the demands made by
the war. The old football game will
go on. It was the consensus of opin
ion of those attending the confer
ence here yesterday of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association that
the colleges could do nothing better
than to continue athletics for the
good of those students who have not
yet entered the active service of the
country.
Secretary of War Baker addressed
the delegates who were present from
nearly alj the eastern colleges and
told them that athletics were needed
to build up and train the young men
of the land. He urged the encour
agement of sports and laid stress
upon the desirability of the colleges
to so arrange their programs that
athletics would be for all students
and not a selected few.
Adopt Resolutions
Resolutions were at once adopted,
but sports will not be allowed to in
terfere in any way with military du
ties. It was said that all colleges of
the east with the exceptions of Yale,
Harvard, Princeton and possibly Vir
ginia, would increase their activities
in athletics this fall and that the
usual program of college events
would be given.
The colleges went on record as be
ing in favor of conducting athletics
on an economical basis. The train
ing tables are to given up, there will
be no pre-reason coaching and all
expenses are to be curtailed to the
minimum. No changes in rules were
favored. There was some talk of let
ting d<swn the bars for the fresh
men to play on Varsity teams, but

contribute may give their money

geant C. A. Harman.
that was not considered .advisable.
The freshmen will have their own
sports and it was intimated that
Princeton and Harvard will enter
the freshmen field.
Lack Material
The abandonment of Varsity sports
by Yale, Harvard and Princeton was
ascribed to lack of material, most
members of last year's squads now
being in some branch of the military
service. The ranks of other colleges
have also been decimated, and the
most promising athletic material has
marched off to war, but the colleges
have decided to place teams on the
gridiron this fall as usual.
The plea for the resumption of j
college sports is made on the ground i
that athletics are a great aid in the j
equipment of young men for the re
ception of military training.
In his address Secretary Baker i
said: "There is one great criticism!
of college athletics. The big, strong,
husky men are made specialized
athletes, while the anaemic and
studious and unathletically inclined j
are left to fill the bleachers. Star
teams and specialized athletes, while
good and valuable in their way, are
not numerous enough to make arm
ies. The gospel of college athletics
should be athletics for all."
Resolutions for the continuance
of athletics were adopted as follows:
Till- Resolutions
"Whereas, College athletics, as
stated by Secretary Baker in his ad
dress to the conference, are of great
use in developing the qualities of a
good soldier:
"Resolved, That we recommend to
the colleges that the program of ath
letic sports for the coming year be
continued, with increased efforts to
develop athletics for all students
rather than for a chosen few, and
that the schedule as far as local con
ditions allow, care being taken not
to interfere with the military train
ing of the students or to conflict with
the military interests of the Nation:
"That we recommend that there
be no pre-season coaching during
j the corning academic year:
"That training table be given up;
i "That professional coaching and
other expenses incidental thereto be
reduced to a minimum; that the
number of officials at intercollegiate
games and their fees be kept as low
as possible:
"That the association reiterates Its
belief in the eligibility rules, which
|it has already indorsed, including
the freshmen rule, and recommends
| that there be no lowering of eligibil
ity standards because of existing
I conditions."

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
PROVIDE SEATS
FOR'GUN BUGS'
Make All Shooting Events
Enjoyable to Fair; Crowds
Are Profitable
By PETER P. CARNEY.
(Editor Natioal Sports Syndicate.)
The Immense crowds that have at
tended the state, sectional and other
Important trapshooting tournaments
of the past three years show the
growth of interest in the trapgun
game from the spectators' standpoint.
Observers have noted, however,
that this attendance is "floating"—
the crowd changing every hour or so.
This is due. In a great measure, to
the fact that no adequate arrange
ments are made to seat the "gun
bugs."
It is true that at some of the
leading tournaments that circus seats
have been set up and the St. Louis
(Mo.) Trapshooters Association last
August erected a grandstand seating
several hundred persons. This stand
was built for the Grand American
and was behind the traps used by the
professionals and women.
As a rule the seats are located well
in the rear of the firing line and a
clear view of the shooters is to be
had only from the rows nearest the
top.
Trapshooting and golf are the only
sports which th# spectators cannot
witness with the comfort they can
other sports, yet these two sports
have overwhelmed all others In new
devotees in the past five years.
One reason no provision is made for
the adequate seating of spectators at
trapshooting tournaments is that no
admission is charged, and the clubs
promote the events because of their
interest in the sport and without
thought of profit. The building of
seats would cause a deficit that could
only be met by charging for the seats
provided.
There is no better way to create a
desire to shoot on the part of non
shooters than to provide them with
seats and let them watch the partici
pants—the trap men and trap women
—enjoy the "sport alluring."
This is something the Interstate
Association for the Eucouragement of
Trapshooting might give a little time
to and thought, for It is a problem
that the Interstate Association will
eventually have to solve.

Copyright, 1917, Tho Tribune AssoclaUon (Nev York Tribune).
Naming the most astounding sporting achievement for 1917 Is now a
simple matter—practically beyond all debate.
No, it isn,'t M&tty's work in hoisting the Reds to second place—as un
canny as that seems to be.
Neither is the return of Ty Cobb to the Old Homestead In front of tho
flock.
The laurel belongs to Benny Leonard for knocking out two such crafty
generals as Freddie Welsh and Johnny Kilbane within a two-month gap.
I.eonard's achievement in the past year has been almost miraculous.
We had only one good heavyweight nd only one or two good welters. But
the supply of lightweights was ample, if not sufficient. First, there was
Freddie Welsh, champion; then, Benny Leonard; then Richie Mitchell; then
Charley White. And romping around with these was Johnny Kilban.e, tho
featherweight king.
LEONARD'S VPS FT
Leonard in turn met Richie Mitchell, Freddie Welsh and Johnny Kil
bane. To outpoint each of these was no soft and simple assignment
To knock any one of the trio out was quite a little affair, with ten ro.unds
or less to go.
What happened was this—the trio lasted, in bulk, 19
rounds of fighting Leonard knocked out three of the toughest in tne game.
Welsh lasted 9 rounds before he dipped into Poppy Land. Mitchell lasted
but 7. Kilbane lasted less than 3.
So by boxing less than 20 rounds all told, Leonard has hammered three
of the best into complete submission, which as evidence is quite sufficient
to brand him as one of the greatest of them all. If he can add one or two
more after the manner of the above ha will probably be awarded the crown
for all time.
More than certainly over the short distance only a few have equalled
I.eonard's record to date—Terry McGovern being the pace maker in this
respect.
LEONARD'S WAY
Leonard hasn't the fiery dash and overwhelming rush of Terry Mc-
Govern. He hasn't the durability or the excessive stamina of Bat Nelson.
But he has something else. He has about all any great champion needs —
skill, speed, courage, generalship, the wallop and all the stamina required.
He has the rare combination of boxing skill and the wallop. Most of the
best boxers lack the punch. They know how to hit, block and get away,
but this system of fighting seems to remove all steam from the punch.
Leonard, however, has the snap and the leverage, which must be born, in a
fighter. No development or training can put it there. Fitzsimmons had
this to a marked degree. It enabled him to hit a terrific wallop from only
ten or twelve inches. He was not forced to start a haymaker from the hip
to bring about excessive damage. Starting a wallop twelve inches away,
Fitz still had steam enough to rock an elephant's head.
Leonard had this same snap—this same unusual leverage. When he
looks to be merely tapping he has the sting. If Willard with his bulk had
the same amount of snap or leverage In proportion he coiHd kill a buffalo
or a rhinoceros with one fistic salvo, aimed at the lower jaw. Joe Gans
had the whip-lash punch, but not even Gans had the sting from a short
distance that Leonard seems to carry.
NO NECESSITY
TO CALL OFF
WORLD'S GAME
Chicago, 111., Aug. 3.—President
Wilson has come to bat in a pinch
and saved professional baseball.
Gloomy interviews given out recently
by President Ban Johnson, of the
American League, with a somber fol
low-up by President Tener, of the
National League, indicated that there
would be no world's series this fall
for the reason that President Wilson
might consider the Derby of profes
sional baseball unpatriotic in view of
impending events in France.
Mr. Johnson, especially, was beset
by forebodings and said that his
Hague was ready to shut its gates
immediately, if, In the opinion of
President Wilson, such a procedure
would be the patriotic thing to do.
These utterances gave baseball fans
all over the country the impression
that the sport was tottering and that
it was only a question of time until
President Wilson would explode both
big leagues with a word. Johnson's
Interview followed a visit to Wash
ington and it naturally was presumed
that he had had some sort of hint
fiom the White House.
Attendance IN Rood
In order to find out just what the
situation was, W, S. Forman, sporting
editor of the Chicago Herald, wrote
to President Wilson on July 28, call
ing the President's attention to the
statements made by Johnson and
Tener. It was pointed out that the
attendance figures this year have
shown that the public is tremendously

TWO BIG GAMES
FOR LOCAL FANS
West End A. C. Will Meet i
Ruxtons; Sixth Ward Ca
sinos to Play Salein
Local baseball fans may expect
good sport to-morrow. Two games
are scheduled that promise many
thrills. West End A. C. will meet
the Ruxton A. C. at Fourth and
Seneca streets. This game starts at
3 o'clock. Belmont A. C. was sched
uled for a game with the claimants
to the local championship but can
celled. Ruxton is a strong conten
der for this season's honors and
promise to give the old reliables a
hard chase.
At Island Park, Manager Harry
Burris will pit his colored cham
pions against the Salem A. C. The
Sixth Ward Casinos have been a big
attraction. Though late comers in
the baseball game, this aggregation
of stars has been making good. Both
these teams are in the race for tho
city champtonship and the result to
morrow will figure in the summing
up of the season's honors. On Au
gust 11 the fourth game of the
series with the Middletown White
Sox will be played.
F/eaguc Teams Away
The leagued teams will be away
from home. Harrisburg's Motive
Power team is scheduled for the final
game with Trenton in the Pennsyl
vania Railroad League series. The
Trenton team is a sure winner but
the locals hope to show better form
to-morrow than in the last three
games.
The Philadelphia and Reading
League representatives are also
scheduled for out of town games.
Yesterday they vent up against the
Reading Railway team of the Allison

of 7 to 4. The game was played

per cent, of his gate receipts to the
Red Cross fund, while other club
owners are giving their parks over
to various war fund enterprises when
ever possible; and that aside from
financial considerations the President
might conclude that baseball offers
a healthy form of recreation to our
soldiers as well as civilians.
President's Answer
The President was asked pointblank
if he considered It advisable to cancel
major leagife schedules or call off the
world's series. Following is his reply:
The White House,
Washington, D. C.,
July 31, 1917.
My Dear Mr. Forman:
The President asks me to acknowl
edge the receipt of your letter of July
28. and to say that he sees no neces
sity at all for stopping or curtailing
the baseball schedules.
Sincerely yours,
J. P. TUMULTY.
Secretary to the President.
This letter means, of course, that
President Johnson's fears are un
founded and that there Is no Intention
on the part of President Wilson to
put professional baseball out of bus
iness.
At about the time the President's
letter was received, Secretary of War
Baker, speaking before an assem
blage of college representatives in
Washington, made, on behalf of
President Wilson, an earnest plea for
the preservation of college athletics
during the entire period of our war
with Germany.
NEWPORT LEADS
IN D-P RACE
Perry County Champs Need
One More Victory; Impor
tant Games Tomorrow
To-morrow will have much to do
with deciding the final result in the
Dauphin-Perry League. Oniy four
more games remain to be played.
Unless Newport is headed in this
series with Duncannon, there appears
to be little hope for Dauphin to finish
any better than second.
Saturday's bill places Duncannon
at Newport; Marysviile at Millers
burg, and Dauphin at Halifax. The
big game naturally will be the Dun
cannon-Newport conflict on the Mar
shall Field grounds In the latter tow*.
These two towns have always been
rivals and Manager Stewart Duncan's
steelmakers are anxious tp help yank
the leaders from their lofty perch.
Stnra in I.lne-up
The team Is primed for a good game
to-morrow, and Brenner, the Bucknell
star, and Abie Dearolf, formerly of
Lebanon Valley, will work hard In
the battery positions to achieve the
aims of the team. Ike McCord will
likely be found on the second sack.
Kid Strieker and I*andis lleeder will
form the battery for Manager Pre
vost's team with the other players in
their regular positions.
Dauphin expects a hard game at
Halifax. The latter has been using
some youngsters, but will likely have
her regular line-up on the field to
morrow. with Harry Biever and Min
nich as the battery. Frey and Ducky
Rhoads will likely hold down the
pivotal positions for the runners-up.
Mlllersburg will entertain Marys
viile and will make a determined at
tempt to tako another game from the
Perry countlans. The only victory
ciodited to the Dauphin countlans was
scored early in the season over the
champs of 1915 and 1916. C. Miller
and Bud Fry will likely form JJia
battery for Mlllersburg.
AUGUST 3, 1917
WELLY'S jf CORNER
Indications are that the college
football managers will have to get
together on a schedule for the fall
games. War conditions have put for
mer plans helter skelter and many
of the elevens have not been able to
get together on dates. It is probable
there will bo a conference within a
few weeks.
Baseball fans throughout the Unit
ed States agree with President Wood
row Wilson that a world's series
should be played. From the start the
general belief was that the effort to
have the big games called off was
due to a case of "sour grapes" with
some managers. Teams up in tho
race are fighting for something—a
chance to get at the big cash prizes
that come with a world's series.
Charles S. Garland looks like a win
ner in the western tennis tournament.
He yesterday won a right to play in
the semifinals with Walter Hayes.
William Jacobson and Yale Sloan,
of the St. I/Ouls Browns, will quit the
game. They joined the navy yes-
