team, of the New York tSate League
is in danger of losing its home, as
the Lackawanna company has
started a suit in ejectment against

THE MARCHING LEGIONS
Summer is on her way.
July has come and gone;
No one remembers May,
August Is marching on;
Softly the south wind blows.
Yet, but a dream and tnen
Deep In the drifting snows
We shall be cast again.
Where are the songs of Spring
Sung from the April larch?
Where is the roistering
Of the wild winds of March?
Where is the light of June
Crowning her crimson throne?
Gone as a passing tune,
Gone as a breath is blown.
Mad youth is on its way.
Childhood has tome and gone;
Dim is the distant day
Boyhood was marching on; '
Life new is lilting rhyme,
Yet, but a step and then
Gray with the snows of time
Life turns to prose again.
Where are the songs of Youth
Sung where the breakers foam?
Where is the old time truth
Taught at the hearth of home?
Where are the loves we've known
In the red deeps of June
Gone as a breath is blown—
Gone as a passing tune.
The entry who accepts rough breaks and tough luck as part of the
game has 87 per cent the best of It from the start.
THIS TIME AT HOME
I Last season the Red Sox went out an,d won their pennant on the road.
%is season they spend most of September home, with the White Sox in
i East.
Unless the White Sox can pile up a healthy lead when they return
home shortly you can absorb the answer without further comment.
AFTER FOUR YEARS
Your years ago the Giants concluded their three-year pennant run.
They led the parade in 1911, 1912 and 1913. losing three world series In a
row to Mackmen and Red Sox.
Now they are Pennant Bound again, with no chance of being stopped.
But of that 1913 array which carried the Red Sox to eight games before
a decision was reached, only a few remain. Fletcher and "Herzog still
adorn the infield, but Doyle and Merkle are gone. The entire outfield,
which consisted of Snodgrass, Murray and Devore, is missing. Of the
pitching staff, Mathewson and Marquard have passed on with Tesreau
alone on the job. Chief Meyers has passed from back of the bat. So from
the entire line-up of regulars only Fletcher, Herzog an.d Tesreau are left
in McGraw's rebuilding.
The present Giant array looks to be a much stronger club and should
have a much better world series chance. The new outfield with Burns,
Kauff and Robertson, is well beyond Murray. Snodgrass and Devore. The
present infield is playing better ball, but the present pitching staff Isn't
quite up to the Mathewson., Marquard, Tesreau standard. The old Giants
played 19 world series games, won 6, lost 12 and tied 1.
If the new Giants are tossed in against the Red Sox again they will need
every ingredient at hand to win. The odds will belong with the still un
beaten Red Sox.
LEVERAGE
Leverage is of far greater sporting value than one might consider It at
first glance.
Norman Maxwell weighs but 120 potfnds. Yet he can drive a golf ball
over 250 yards, up with the long hitters of the game. He has the leverage.
Bobby Byrne was a diminutive athlete, but Bobby could smash a base
ball with the force of a Baker or a Zimmerman. He had the leverage.
Benny Leonard has knocked out three first class fighters in a row.
Benny has the leverage—which means the snap to hit hard from a short
distan.ee.
"Ability to run a long approach putt dead is the most valuable shot In
golf," notes an exchange. How about the ability to lay a mashie shot dead
—or a long Iron shot stoney? Between the two, we'll take a chance on
the value of the latter.
Walter J. Travis is spposed to have won his championship via the
putter. The fact seems to be forgotten that he was deadly accurate from
the tee, and that no man could consistently play a mashie or an Iron
straighter for the cup than the veteran. His fine putting merely rounded
out a straight, consistent game all through the green.
CROOKED FINGER
BAR TO PLAYER;
HEINE GROH OUT
New York, Aug. 7. —The idea that
all ballplayers must be physically
fit for service in the army appears
to be erroneous. Heinie Groh, third
baseman of the Cincinnati Reds, re
ceived orders several days ago to
report for examination, and Heinie
reported. He got away well in the
physical test until one of tho ex
aminers noted that his fingers were
not as straight as they should be.

Second Rich Race Stake;

Columbus, 0., Aug. B.—Busy's Las
sie, conceded before the event to
have almost a stranglehold on the
big end of the purse in the $5,000
S. and S. stake for 2.12 trotters, was
beaten yesterday by Early Dreams,
losing her second important stake of
the Grand Circuit year.
Busy's Lassie, selling a big favor

first heat, this being the fastest mile
trotted in 1917 in a race. Early

ball career Groh had smashed his
lingers in fielding batted or thrown
balls, and they did not "come back."
As a result Groh was rejected by
the examining board. August Herr
mann, president of the Cincinnati
club, made this announcement
shortly after his arrival to attend a
meeting of the National Commis
sion. If the same rule is to be fol
lowed it means that several ball
players who are otherwise physi
cally fit will be rejected by the ex
amining board. •
Dreams won the second heat in pre
cisely the same time and captured
the third heat in 2.06 >4. Busy's Las
sie showed signs of tiring and she
was not a contender from that time
on. Ima Jay, making her first start
of the year, got away into a lead
in the fourth heat and won handily
in the drive. Early Dreams was
driven allVthe way in the fifth mile
and beat Ima Jay by two lengths.
Mr. McDonald was presented with a
silver trophy for driving the first
winner in this New Columbus stake
event. .
The second race on the card de
veloped the strongest betting of the
meeting, Butt Hale selling for S3OO
in pools that were going for $220
on the field. The favorite never was
in danger of being headed. Walter
Cox was fined S2O for not trving to
win in the first heat. The 2.15 trot
| Was easy for The Troddler, driven by
Valentine.

[ ity of the stands. Ben Billings, win
ner of the 2.15 pace at Kalamazoo,
was taken ill with the distemper and I
will not be able to race for several
weeks.
Football For Red Cross;
Proceeds to Patriotic Fund
New York, Aug. B.—While noth
ing was said at the conference of
the National Collegiate Association
at Washington, last week, there is a
definite idea that football in the fall
will be employed in some way or
other to raise funds for patriotic
purposes. This does not mean that
collections will be taken in the
stands as was the case last year and
the year before, but that' contests
will be arranged, proceeds of which
will be donated to some such fund
as that of the Red Cross. Sol Metz
ger, the Washington and Jefferson
coach, has been working on the idea
One suggestion is that a post-season
series between teams Composed of
All-Eastern," or "All-American Play
ers," be played. There may be no
doubt that games of the sort would
prove attractive and reap a rich
harvest of money. ,
HXRRISBURG 86®®! TELEGRAPH
FIVE YANKEES
GET DRAFT CALL
Bob Shawkey, Former Harris
burg Twirler, Must Un
dergo Examination
New York, Aug. B.—When the re
turns first came in from Washington
on the drawing of numbers for the
new National Army It appeared that
Bill Donovan's Yankees would hear
little about it. Most of them had
numbers which were well up in tho
draw. It now develops that several
members of the Yankee squad must
present themselves for examination.
To date five of the players have re
ceiyed notification to present them
selves before examining boards to
undergo the tests for army service.
Slim Love, who towers (5 feet 5 '/i
inches in his bare feet and would
add another inch to his height in
army shoes, had his examination
yesterday. Slim was ordered by his
home board of San Francisco to
make his appearance, and he ar
ranged for the test here. Somebody
identified with the examining board
Informed Slim that his excessive
height impaired his chances of beins
accepted, but Love has had no offi
cial notification to this effect. The
papers will be sent to Slim's home
district, and action will be taken
there. As Slim is married and his
wife is entirely dependent upon him,
he put in a claim for exemption on
these grounds.
Orders to Report
Elmer Miller, Tim Hendrix and
Frank Gilliooley have received or
ders from their home cities to re
port for examination. Miller resides
in Sandusky, Ohio, and Hendrix in
New Orleans. Each has sent home
to make arrangements for examina
tion here, as neither is able at this
time to make the journey home.
Both players are married and each
has a small child, so their chances
of exemption are good.
Gilhooley left last night for To
ledo, Ohio, to present himself be
fore the examining board of his
home precinct. Ho will first stop
off at Cleveland for an X-ray photo
graph of his injured collarbone, as
he does not have to report for ex
amination until Friday. He expects
to rejoin the Yankees at St. Louis
next week, but may receive a call to
report before the season is over.
Gilhooley is unmarried.
Shawkey on List
Another player who has received
orders to report for examination is
Pitcher Bob Shawkey. Shawkey
makes his home in Philadelphia,
and registered from that city. His
number was in the first thousand
drawn at Washington—in fact, the
lowest among the Yankees—and he
has been expecting orders for sev
eral days. He will present himself
before the examining board at Phil
adelphia to-morrow morning. He
will leave New York immediately
after to-day's gjime with the Tigers.
Shawkey is married, and may be
exempted for that reason. Other
members of Donovan's team are
wondering what the mailman may
leave for them during the next few
days.

WILD LIFE LEAGUE. PLANS
BIG PROGRAM FOR FALL;
MEET AT CONNEAUT LAKE
Local members of the Wild Life
League of Pennsylvania are planning
to send a large delegation to the
third annual meeting. It will be
held at Conneaut Lake beginning
September 5. The program calls for
sport contests of all branches, in
cluding motorboat races.
The swimming, diving, canoeing
and skiff racing events will constitute
a program which will be? practically
completed on Labor Day, and are
expected to draw some hundreds of
entries.
The beagle men are enthusiastic
over the prospect for the field trials
for beagles, to be held at the league
meeting. It has been decided to hold
six events instead of the live as ori
ginally scheduled. There will be
two open events for beagles, one in
the 13-incli class and one in the 15-
inch class, with a entry fee of $10;
70 per cent, of the entry fees to
constitute a purse, to be divided 40,
20 and 10.
There will probably also be a
handsome trophy for each of these
events. Besides the two open events,
there will be a Derby race and an
all-age race in both tho 13 and 15-
inch classes, and an inspection of the
courses at Conneaut Lake, made last
week, indicates that rabbits are ex
ceedingly plentiful, so that there will
be plenty of chases for the little
hounds.
Bird Dog Trials
The splendid hatching season for
birds in Crawford county has
brought about a fine outlook for the
bird dog trials. Heretofore the trials
at Conneaut Lake have been mark
ed by a scarcity of birds, but this
year within a mile of the lake there
have already been found more than
ten covies of quail and four big
bunches of ringneck pheasants, to say
nothing of four or five covies of
grouse. The news that the birds are

Ouimet, champion golfer, in Brook

Old Rosebud Wins Race;
Was Good Money Event
Saratoga, Aug. 8. —Old Rosebud
• avenged his defeat on the opening
day here in full measure when he
sprinted to victory over Capra and
Roamer in the Delaware handicap,
the feature of yesterday's racing. Al
though the event was set down for
a mile contest, there was no loafing
•at any stage, for Capra was a long
way off as soon as the barrier went
up, and forced her opposition to
step right after her at the end. Old
Rosebud was hanging to Capra's tail
throughout, with Ima Frank swing
ing alongside at a merry clip.
At the turn Old Rosebud went
into the lead and Roamer moved
with him. The trio fought it out
throughout the final running and
the Applegato gelding stuck his nose
on the tape first with Capra lowering
the colors of Roamer.
JACOBSON IN FIRST CALL
Philadelphia, Aug. 8. —The St.
Louis Browns, on their arrival hern
from Washington last night, were
greeted by a notice addressed to big
Jake Jacobson, their slugging out
fielder, ordering him to report to
the examining board in his home
town. Jake is going to try to have
his examination held in this city.
Jacobson and Sloan, also an out
fielder, enlisted in the Navy while
the Browns were playing New York
last week.

to the large number of lovers of the
setter and pointer who are planning
on taking their dogs to the lake.
There will be thrfee races for bird
dogs, a derby for dogs wholped on or
after January 1, 1916; an all-age
stake, open to nonwinners of pre
vious field trials, and an open stake,
open to any setter or pointer. The
latter will be a purse event, the
purse consisting of 70 per cent, of
the entry fees, which will be $lO.
Rifle and revolver shooters will be
glad to know that the range at Con
neaut Lake is already in fair con
dition, and the league's great series
of rifle and revolver contests, which
are equaled only by the national
competitions, are sure to be a suc
cess. There will be team matches
between teams from the various civi
lian rifle clubs connected with the
National Rifle Association under N.
R. A. rules.
Open Shoot Challenge
An open challenge to all Pennsyl
vania rifle clubs has been issued by
the Elwood City Cluh. This will be
shot on Labor Day. There will be
individual championship matches at
200 yards and rising bear and run
ning deer matches at 100 yards for
rifle, with a 50-yard running deer
match for ladies. There will also
be a standard 50-yard revolver
match and running deer and rising
bear matches at the same distance.
Sportsmen from all over the state
expect to be present, and take part
in the various events mentioned, as
well as in the bait aad fly casting
and angling contests and 'coon,
and bear dog trials. The conditions
for the latter will be announced next
week. The outlook is that at least
10,000 sportsmen will be at the lake
during the week of Labor Day, and
it will be by all odds the greatest
event of Its sort in the United States.

lation of the pitfalls which beset the
pathway of women seeking theatrical
careers, is the story of this wonderful
American drama, which was original
ly produced by David Belasco with
I'ranees Starr in the leading role. The
film version has been directed by Al

"The Common Law." Miss Young is
seen as Laura Murdock, and is sup
ported by Joseph Kilgour, who was
leading man in the original produc
tion. To-morrow, for one day only,
the Vitagraph presents a Blue Rib
bon featuro, Peggy Hyland and Sir
John Hare, in "Caste," the evergreen
comedy of T. W. Roberstson that won
and kept the hearts of two continents
for over fifty years. It is an intensely
human play, having for its theme the
argument that filial love counts for
more than mere social position.
If good vaudeville Is still the popu
