12 THREE BIG BASEBALL GAMES ON TO-MORROW'S SCHEDULE PROMISE MANY THRILLS THREE GAMES ON LOCAL SCHEDULE ►Soldiers to Stage Champion ship Struggle at Island; Other Battles No need to ponder lons In select ing' a baseball grama to-morrow. The local bill offera three strong attrac tions, Including one league game. Here Is the schedule: Company I, Eighth Pennsylvania Infantry vs. Troop C, (Governor's Troop), Island Park, 1.30 p. m. West End A. A. vs. Midway A. C., Fourth and Seneca streets, 3 p. m. Steelton vs. Wilmington, Bethle fezsn S&teel Company League, Cottage Hill, Steelton, 3 p. m. Any of the above promise all the thrills baseball fans are looking for. It will be real sport, as honors are at stake In each contest. Company D succeeded In putting a crimp in the winning strike of Troop C. Now Company I wants to get Into the running for soldier, championship honors. To-morrow's I game will And many local stars pit ted against each other. The game starts early and the proceeds will go to the soldiers' mess fund. Indications are that the series which has been on for several weoks will be continued In the South. Car lisle and Chambersburg have good teams and may take a hand. Players in the line-up of the local teams to-morrow have been factors in amateur and semiprofessional games. There will be an exhibition of old-time rivalry that promises plenty excitement. West End Attraction West End A. A. thus far has had the best of the argument in the city championship series. The majority of games played have been with lo cal teams and it looks like another championship for West End. However, the title is not yet a ' certainty. There are a number of teams that still have a say. The Bel mont, Jackson and Casinos want a chance before the season ends. The game to-morrow with Mid way is Important. The Midway boys gave West End a jolt sometime ago and another victory to-morrow means a whole lot. This game will be played on the Fourth and Seneca street field. It Is an ideal spot for a fast ball game. Preparations have been made for a record crowd. The game at Steelton will be the last home league contest in that town. Wilmington holds the cellar position in the Bethlehem Steel Company League, but has been put ting up a great game lately. The Steelton team must win to keep out of the cellar, and the contest to morrow afternoon according to re ports, should be a corker. Harrisburg Shooters After Further League Honors; Big Event at York Today Harrisburg shooters to the number of 14 left this morning in autos for York. They will complete in the third tournament of the Four-City Trapshooters League. The local team has won two matches. West Fairview shots being ruijners-up in each contest. The first match at Lancaster was ■won by four targets; and the second in this city by three. To-day headed by M. B. Stewert, the shooters from across the river will try to crimp the local winning stride. Harris burg will have a strong team on the Held, but will be without several of its star performers. The shoot starts at 1 o'clock this afternoon. Included in the list of local marks men were, J. G. Martin, H. B. Shoop, F. A. Godcharles, E. W. Shenk, A. H. Roberts, L. B. Worden, W. O. Hlckok, Samuel P. Segelbaum, F. W. Dinger, W. H. Wilson, William Cleckner, Harry A. Dill and H. O. Seabold.

In the Spanish-American War, and when this one came on he dropped all business to get back into the service. Free-For-All Race Is Thriller at Columbus Columbus, 0., Aug. 10. Three regular events were faced yesterday, in addition to the unfinished 2.15 pace, and in contrast to the stiff com petition of other days, not a single winner was forced to go an extra heat to take down his purse. There was rather a warm argu ment in the free-for-all pace in the last heat, when Russell Boy's onrush made Jamison touch Single G with the whip to win, but outside of that there was no dor.bt as to the de cision. The stand saw two favorites lose when Peter Schuyler, a favorite in the 2.18 trot finished outside the money, even, and Miss Harris M, second choice, early in the auctions, was bid up to the favorite position before the race started, only to drop the free-for-all and finished third in her first start of the year. Lu Princeton, winner in the 2.15 pace, of which one heat was raced Wednesday, kept on going good to day and won in straight heats. Rain Again Interferes With Local Tennis Match Further postponements were nec essary yesterday in the local tennis tournament. Rain interfered after two sets had been played the women's doubles. It was an inter esting contest. The scores follow: First Set Mrs. Runkle and Mrs. Sauors— -5 4 4 4 2 6 7.4 36—6 Miss Black and Miss Beard— , 31004490 21—2 Second Set Mrs. Runkle and Mrs. Sauers — 4124325444 33—6 Miss Black and Miss Beard — 1442543222 29—4 BOXTNG SHOW AT READING Beading, Aug. 10.—A large crowd witnessed the outdoor boxing bouts staged at Laurer's Park last night. In the windup, Frankie O'Brien, the local lightweight, made Young Eddie Smith, of Springfield, Mass., quit in the second round, after some fast milling. George ("Kid") Al berts, of Reading, shaded Kid Broad, of Philadelphia. Jimmy Edwards, of Reading, earned a decision over Jack Connelly, of Pottsvllle. Jim my Taylor, of New York, outclassed Sailor Bright, of Phoenlxvllle, the bell saving Bright from going the K. O. route in the fourth round. C^GtaaOa CopyttSttt, !XU7,'-CTiofrrUHiiM-A>Bac.lattan (Nw Jc Trlhuna). At a certain summer colony where golfers gather in profusion a dobate was recently launched as to the comparative merits of the male and female of the species in golfing competition. Various estimates were made as to Just how many strokes a masculine golfer could award a feminine opponent and get safely by. These estimates varied between six and fifteen strokes, showing the range of the argument. In order to try to help shed further light upon the debate we have been called upon for testimony. A FEW EXAMPLES A few years ago Harold Hilton, then British champion, attempted to give Miss Leitch, woman champion, a half stroke a hole and was beaten, 2 and 1. Over a fairly hard course we should say that a male champion could give the best woman player a start of seven holes and make an even match of It. A few days ago Chick Evans and Miss liosenthal played Bob Gardner and Miss Stirling, the woman champion. Evans had a 72, Gardner a 74 and Miss liosenthal and Miss Stirling each an 88. Here Evans led the two girls by sixteen strokes. But this doesn't mean that he won by sixteen holes. Bobby Jones, the crack Atlanta youngster, has played any number of rounds against Miss Stirling. According to Bobby, ho could give Miss Stirling a start of five holes and have an even match. "I don't think," he 6aid, "that I could give her a bigger handicap than this and win." According to Bobby, Stuart Maiden, the Atlanta pro., gives Miss Stirling a stroke a hole. "But this is too great a lead," he added, "as Miss Stirling is generally 4 or 6 up with this big handicap." THE PLAY OF SIRS. GAVIN There is also this evidence to consider. In her play for the metropolitan woman's championship Mrs. W. A. Gavin went around tlie hard Piping Rock coursebetween 81 and 83 in more than one match. At this pace no golfer living could have started her 8 up. For she must have had at least 10 or 11 holes in par. possibly more. When a champion golfer such as Evans or Ouimet or Travers Is going at good speed, he is generally around a hard course in 75. Over the same course the best that even Miss Stirling or Mrs. Gavin could expect to do for an average would be 83. Either might have an 80 or 81, just as Evans or Ouimet might have a7l or 72. But the average would be the first named figure, or a stroke or so more. At Belmont Springs last fall Miss Stirling was round in 81 in her final round, while Miss Calverley had an S2 or 83. But their match play was excellent—so strong, in fact, that any golfer would have had a hard time yielding a seven-hole handicap. Evans or Travers would have had to go at his best that day to give a six or seven hole start arid win. They would have needed par for the entire distance. A MATTER OF LENGTH Where the women are badly handicapped is in getting distance. Miss Stirling and Mrs. Gavin can play their irons close to the best and putt almost as well. Mrs. Gavin is almost as good a mashie player as the best of the men up to 135 yards. Miss Stirling is almost as good an Iron player up to 150 yards. But both would be badly handicapped from the tee against the long hit ters, who can, get home in two shots, where they would be unable to get on with a driver and brassie. Much, too, would depend upon the course. Where long carries had to be made .either from the tee or for the second shot, the women would be up against a rugged handicap. Over such courses as Braeburn or Baltusrol the odds would be very strong against the best women players getting within ten strokes of the leading males. Mrs. Gavin, however, has played Baltusrol around 80. and this certainly would not be ten strokes abo\e even line professional play. We should say that on an average around a normally hard course an Evans, Ouimet or Travers could finish 7 up against Miss Stirling or Mrs. Gavin in match play, and possibly ten strokes in medal play. This is on an average. There would be many rounds when the women would be much closer, only a short distance away. Leaving out the leaders, such golfers as Miss Stirling, Mrs. Gavin, Miss Rosenthal and Miss Calverley could give the average masculine golfer a beating, since there are far more who play above 85 than those who play under this mark. The golfer who can average from 83 to 85 would be about on even terms with the best women players—he would lose as often as he would win. EX-READING OWNER SLAMS LEAGUE HEAD Scranton, Pa., Aug. 10.—Dr. F. N. Tate, of Albany, who recently sever ed his financial and other connec tions with the Reading team in the State League denies that he quit Wiltse. Asked about the dtal Dr. Tate spoke as follows: "I did not quit George Wiltse. Wiltse and myself agreed to forfeit the Reading franchise at the State the league meeting was called that had reached an understanding to do so and as for me quitting Wiltse, that's absurd. "We both quit and we wired Pres ident Farrell a week before the Blnghamton meeting that we were through and would not go on. But Farrell failed to pay any attention to our telegram and did not call a meeting of the State League until Scranton announced it was going to withdraw from the league and forfeit its franchise. Steelton Plays Wilmington Tomorrow at Cottage Hill The Steelton nine of the Beth lehem Stsel League will cross bats to-morrow on Cottage Hill diamond with the Wilmington team of the same league. This will be the last homo contest of the league on the Steelton grounds. Manager "Shorty" Miller Is undecided as to the battery for the Staelton lads, but it will most likely be Zcllers and Carrls. During the contest the Steelton band will give a concert.

REMEMBER THE DATE AND COME ALONG TELECTLEPH "The players understood before the legue meeting was called that Wlltse and myself had agreed not to finance the club any longer. They went to Elmira and Syracuse on their own hook, Wlltse loaning them the money to take them from Scran ton to Elmira. Wiltse got his money out of the receipts of tho second Elmira game. "At a meeting In Binghamton the franchise of the lieading club was forfeited. The only reason why Wiltse is now with the Reading club is because the league asked him to operate the club for It. Up until August 1 the players went along on their own initiative. On August 1 they went back on salary, the lea gue agreeing to finance the club for the balance of the season or un til such time as It was able to in terest some city In taking the fran chise." York Mechanics Must Enlist to Go to France York, Aug. 10. At the direction of Major General Pershing, the 120 skill ed employes of the York Manufactur ing Company who will go to France to erect a huge ice manufacturing and cold storage plant just completed for the United States expeditionary force, will have to enlist in the army. Six men, a captain, three first lieuten ants and two second lieutenants, who will direct the work, were commis sioned yesterday. A force of 125 laborers to be includ ed In the party, need not enlist, it was ruled, owing to the difficulty to get men to enter the service for this class of work.

Harrisburg has not had a good boxing show for a long time. The weather will soon be favorable to indoor sports and fight fans may expect a bill extraordinary when It Is time for the first show. With odds against them at the start, members of the tournament committee of the Harrisburg Tennis Association are going to come out all right In their annual local cham pionship series. Local tennis play ers rallied to their cause and there has been plenty of Interest In all matches. Out-of-town contestants have been few. This was mostly due to the failure In giving early publicity. Experience Is the best teacher and next season Harrisburg's tournament will be talked about in tennis circles in every cit.y within a radius of fifty miles of Harrisburg. The best is yet to come. The Reading Railway team In the Allison Hill League has won out in the sec ond series. Now will come the post season games with Stanley A. C., win ner of the first series. While It Is HOW THEY PLAY BASEBALL IN WESTERN TOWN The following account of a base ball game with the original spell ing and punctuation is taken from a weekly paper published Jn a small Minnesota village: "The visiting team looked like conquering heroes in their short pants, but our boys sailed right in, long pants, paper collars and all, and finished them to a frazzle. Ye scribe had a good seat, where he could see the slaughter, also could view the fair sex, of which our lovely village has more than the share of. "The visitors had a smart Aleck city fellow for a pitcher, but his arm was as stiff as his biled shirt before our boys got through with him, and they hit the ball so hard they busted the seams. They had a big fellow for catcher, but the ball ance during: the warm weather is in an open-air theater. No system of artificial ventilation can compare with the bis open-air pavilion at Paxtang. Here the pure country air circulates freely through the theater and gives general comfort to the auditor, and no cooling- system ever installed in an enclosed building can compare with it. The vaudeville played at Paxtang is the best that money can procure. The bill this week has for a feature attraction one of the best "girl acts" that has played the town. It is called "Marcella." The act is a musical com edy in tabloid form, with eight be witching young women and two clever comedians in the cast. Other acts on the bill are The Van Winkle Kids, two of vaudeville's best Juvenile entertainers; Kola, a contor tionist, who is a marvel in his line, and Forrest and Church, in a combi nation musical and dancing act that is making a great hit with the park audiences.
