I Antigo. BETHLEHEM STEEL LEAGUE HAS SUCCESSFUL SEASON HOW SIX TEAMS LINE UP With the end of the season two ■weeks off. the Bethlehem League teams are showing a fast pace. It looks like Bethlehem as this year's winner. Steelton will finish Just out side the cellai 1 door. They play the tail-enders, Wilmington, at Steelton Saturday. The game promises much interest as Wilmington is anxious to win at least one game. Ross E. Kauffman. sport writer on the North American, well known to many Harrisburgers, recently made a trip over the circuit. Here are some kind words the writer hands out: "Whenever the Bethlehem Steel Corporation starts anything it does it right. "The baseball league, which is en- Joying its first year, is one of the most successful industrial organiza tions in this country. With a six-club circuit made up of teams from the plants in Bethlehem, Lebanon and Steelton, Pa.: Sparrows Point. Md.; Fore River. Mass., and Wilmington. Del., the race for the President Schwab trophy has attract ed attention all over the east. "All the players are employed by the Steel Corporation and work in the townp that they represent. College and former major and minor league stars appear to have the call in the make-up of the leading clubs. "The names of several former big league players appear in the list. In cluding Tom Jones, former Detroit and St. Louis first baseman, who is still starring at the first corner for Lebanon; Bill Ritter, former Phillle and Giant pitcher, who is also with the Lebanon team; Infielder Achen bach (Charles), former Cincinnati and Tri-State star, who is with Bethle hem: Runt Walsh, ex-Phillle all around player, who is shortstop on the Sparrows Point team; Pie Way, former Yale and Giant recruit, who is Sparrows Point's leading pitcher, and a few more. "Bethlehem and Lebanon appear to be the class of the league. Each team has won seven out of eight games and they are deadlocked for the lead. Sparrows Point has a firm hold on third place and still has a chance to threaten the leaders. FV>re River is fourth. Steelton fifth and Wilmington last.

"No other industrial and few minor leaguers have such a widely scattered circuit. From Lebanon, Steelton or Bethlehem, Pa., to Fore River. Mass., is a Jump of more than 350 miles. Whenever <Jne of these teams is scheduled to play In Fore River on a Saturday, it is necessary to leave on Friday. The Jump from Bethlehem to Sparrows Point, Md„ is more than 150 miles. "Bethlehem and Lebanon, the two teams that are fighting for the cham pionship honors, have a bunch of star players. I.ehlgh Stars In I.tne-np "Anderson and Wright, a former Lehigh University battery, do the bulk of the work for the Schwab headquarters team. Wright also saw service in Lafayette. Mathag and Twombley. two of Lehigh's hardest hitters during the last season, are playing in the outfield, and Yap, for mer Lehigh first baseman, who first attracted attention as a member of the Chinese University team, which toured this country for several yefirs, is also in the outfield. "Achenbach, who used to play under the name of Charles in the old Tri- State. is second base, and Fishburn, Lehigh's brilliant shortstop, is hold ing down that position. Tesch and Roth minor league sluggers, are play ing third and first base, respectively. Bill Ritter is the star pitcher of the Lebanon team. The ex-Phil curver recently held Fore River to one hit. He had an excellent receiver in Hart. Tom Jones, a veteran Pennsylvanian, who used to whale out home runs while with St. Louis and Detroit, is still hitting the ball hard. He plays first base. Clauser and Keating, two clever minor leaguers, are second base and shortstop, respectively. Speraw is at third. "In the Lebanon outfield are Hobey Light. Penn's brilliant halfback and left fielder: Zeigler, a Lebanon Valley College lad. and Yeiser. Light is a big favorite with his home-town fans. The Steelton team is virtually made up of Vlllanova and Swarthmore players. John Ogden. Eddie Carris, Allie Cornog, all of Swarthmore fame, and Murray, Robinson, McGuckin and McGeehan, of Villanova. are on the team. Miller and Zellers are also regulars. Hoar, forijier Gettysburg College football and baseball star, is a member of the pitching staff. "Steelton has been somewhat of a disappointment, as the team has won but two out of eight games. "Sparrows Point has a well-bal anced team, with Runt Walsh. Bill Cranston. Kolseth and Bahs holding down the infield posts. Cranston has seen considerable service in the New Y'ork State and other minor leagues. Walsh's last league Job was with the Federals. Pie Way. ex-Yale football and baseball star, pitches all the games, and has been fairly successful. Last year Way was with Rochester, in the International League. "The Fore River team is made up principally of New England colle gians, semiprofessionals and amateurs. Duggan, a former Federal League and New England outfielder. Is included. The Harlan and Hollingsworth team, representing Wilmington, con tains several semiprofs, the leading battery being Hamilton and Kelly. All the clubs are drawing well and in most towns the Steel Corporation has built new fields. It's a real league. NEAR FINALS IN TENNIS TOURNEY Miss Mildred Sheesley Is Big Star; Charles Fager Win ner Yesterday Fast work by. local tennis stars yesterday brought the program al most to the final point. A large part of the program was cleaned up. Mrs. Chris Sauers. women's city singles champion, and her partner, Mrs. John Rur.kle, obtained revenge for last year's tournament defeat when they captured a hard-fougljt three-set from Miss Mildred Sheesley and Miss Catherine Martin L n Ihltial round of women's doubles In the Greater Harriaburg tennis •tournament. Both teams played sensational tennis. Miss Shessley, who has been play ing a brilliant game, defeated Miss Marion Black in two sets in the singles. She will meet Mrs. Runkle In the final. The summaries follow: Women singles, semifinal round— Miss Mildred Shessley defeated Miss Marion Black. 6-1, 7-5. Women's doubles, first round— 1 Mrs. Chris Sauers and Mrs. John Runkle defeated Miss Catherine Mar tin and Miss Mildred Sheesley, 6-2, 11-13, 6-4; Miss Marion Black and Miss Lucille Beard defeated Mrs. E.

Men's singles, second round— Charles Fager defeated J. C. Kunkel 6-2. 6-3. Men's doubles, preliminary round —Shrelner and Beard defeated Pol lock and Trump. 7-5, 7-5. Wally Schang Responsible For Athletics' Victory Philadelphia, Aug. 9.—lf was a game with a delicate finish that the Mackmen wrested from the St. Louis Browns yesterday by the score ot 6 to 5 in the tenth inning. The finish was given to the fracas suddenly by Wally Schang. who bounced the ball into the bleachers after StufTy Mc- Innis was perched on first as the out come of a hit to right field. Wally's hit brought home the two runs necessary to top the score com piled by the Brownies, the tall-end members of the American League race. It was a real championship game, for the Macks and Browns are racing each other hard for the cellar position. But the game was fought for Just as if the pennant depended upon the outcome. Company I Baseball Team Plays Troopers Saturday Harrlsburg fans are receiving ex cellent treatment In Saturday offer ings. To-day it was announced that Company I would meet the Governor's Troop in a game at Island Park Sat urday. Should the infantry win, the next game will be played between Company I and Company D for the championship. These games furnish much interest and attract good crowds. On West End field the second game between the Midway A. C. and West End A. A. will be played. Midway is the only team that has defeated the Householder crew this season, and Saturday's battle promises plenty of excitement. Willard Winis Two Heats; Rain Stops Altoona Races Altoona, Aug. 9.

Perhap the time is nearlng when we'll all go to the front; But what of it? The married man, the single man, the brawny and the runt: Some twenty millions now have gone—the bravest and tho best — From every land beneath the sun to face the final test; Why should we hope to hang around within a down nest? So what of it? • Perhaps in somber 'No Man's Land we'll know our final sleep; But what of It? We'll find our dreams are shattered where the hand of Fate is rough; But what of it? We'll find that all our Idle Joys have come beneath a ban; We'll find our share of bitterness among the fighting clan; But was Life made for a weakling—or was Life made for a Man . So what of it? Perhaps among the fallen brave we'll find the grave is deep; But what of it? Perhaps in sombre No Man's Land we'll know our final sleep; But what of it? Since each of us owes God a death—and each has got to pay—• Why not swing out with valiant stride along the open way To where the Great Adventure waits this side of Judgment Day. So what of It? THE UP AXD DOWN CLUB In the season's count at leust two stars have suffered heavy casualties so far, and are now in the throes of the worst campaign they have e ve r known. One is a veteran and one a youngster, but both have been listed among the best. In the American League, Walter Johnson has suffered thirteen defeats, more than any pitcher in his circuit. He has had his share of hard luck, but to lead the league in defeats is an unusual turn for a pitcher listed among the greatest of the game. The second slump belongs to A 1 Mamaux. Mamaux has been accustom ed to a high place in the pitching councils, even with a losing club. But this season out of fourteen attempts Mamaux has perpetrated only two victories against twelve defeats, a mighty drop from his first two years, when he looked to be one of the coming stars. THE OLD CUNNING REMAINS It has been two years now since Travers has taken part in an amateur championship. For the last two years he has known very little of tournament play, as his game has been confided to the Saturday afternoon and Sunday schedule. So, despite his known record for match play greatness, no one thought the five-time champion was quite good enough to face the task he tackled last week. He was called upon to face three of the greatest golfers in the country over three of the hardest New York courses, all varying in style. He was put in against Gil Nicholls at Baltusrol, Jock Hutchinson at Siwanoy, and Walter Hagen at Garden City. This is about as tough a schedule as any golfer could take on. But after fifty-four holes of match play against this formidable trio, including three of the most brilliant professionals in Am erica. Travers finished five holes to the good. He was 3 up on Nicholls, 1 down to Hutchinson and 3 up on Hagen. And the two shots that beat him in the Hutchinson match were a 330-yard drive and a 240-yard spoon shot to an uphill green, two of the most remarkable shots of the year. This showing is evidence enough that Travers will still be on hand as a cham pionship contender when tournament play is resumed beyond the Red Horizon. IN REVERY The White Sox team can face the test; They swat the ball and all the rest; They field and run and cover ground, Their men get on and get around; And yet I'm glad I had no hunch To bet against that Red Sox bunch. WHEREIN SOMETHING WAS SAID Nipper Campbell, the eminent Scotch pro was playing a hard match in the recent War Relief Tournament. On a certain tee The Nipper hooked to a deep trap. "Oh. I'm sorry," remarked his opponent. "Ye're a liar," said The Nipper, "and I won't be sorry if ye go there ye self." Which, if a trifle crude, was the truth. How many golfers who say so are actually sorry when an opponent in a hard match slaps one into a deep trap or cracks one out of bounds? You know the answer. The Giants might crack under the strain if there happened to be a strain near enough to crack under. Which doesn't seem to be Just at this steamy moment. WELLY'S if CORNER Rain put a crimp In racing yes terday at Columbus and Altoona. Two heats were run off In events on each track and then came rain. The finish to-day promises something in teresting. Ban Johnson may need a guar dian, according to a general belief in baseballdom. First he breaks Into print on the elimination of the world's series plan. Then he comes out with a proposition to make a European trip. To-day he is an nounced as having waged war on gamblers at baseball games. His last move is the most popular. Whistling Bill Coughlin is through with baseball. "Bill" said this be fore, but this time he says it Is the gospel truth.

Schultz was transferred by the Brooklyn club to the Chicago National League club and later to the Pittsburgh _club, which in turn released him to the Loh An geles club. In May. 1912, the latter organization notified the Pittsburgh club that Schultz had been returned to it.
