The Tribune Association (Nev York Tribune). VERS LIBRE I once knew a ball player Who went up to bat And struck out; And when he came back to the bench And they asked him what the pitcher had He said "Everything"— 'The guy's thero— * "He's got something—that bird"— Whereupon his mates Fell on him with bats And murdered him Before he became more violent. Boston Is the last stronghold of the East In the American League. If the Red Sox fade out, an intersectlonal series is certain, for In case the White Sox slip theer are still Cleveland and Detroit to pick up the drive. Boston has carried her share of It since the Mackmen wilted, but It begins to look as if the three-year pennant assignment was a trifle too much in these haphazard times. COBB'S STYLE A young ball player, who writes that he is twelve years old, desires a bit of inside information, or outside information, on, the way Cobb bats— | what his style is and how he goes about it. The style which suits Cobb may not suit somo one else. For Tyrus the | Terrible has a stylo of his own. In gripping the bat Cobb places his right hand at the extreme lower end of the war club. His left hand is held at least six or eight Inches above his right. Most ball players either grip with both hands together at the lower end of the bat, or else. If their hands are held apart, grip the club several Inches from the knob. Willie Keeler had the most extreme style in this respect, as Willie gripped almost at the middle of the bat In place of bracing himself with his feet well apart, Cobb stands with his heels al most together, only a few Inches apart. Then as the ball comes up he steps forward, with his right foot on almost a straight line toward the box. He never steps away, and once the pitcher starts his wind-up, Cobb's eye is never shifted from the ball. "Keep your eye on the ball" Is an old golf maxim. It is equally ap plicable to baseball. AS FOR ATTITUDES Mike Donlln, one of the greatest hitters of them all, figures that the right mental attitude Is of far more importance than any style at bat. "When you go up," says Mike, "walk up with a confident, chesty look, as if you expected to murder the first one in reach." The minute the pitcher sees a man loaf up with his pep gone, the pitcher's confidence increases. He doesn't like to see a fellow come up with the old base-hit look in his eye. When Harry McCormick started up to bat, his whole attitude seemed to be: "I'll bet that guy's nervous out there." It never occurred to McCor mick to be nervous. A disheartened batsman or a disheartened team en courages the other club to play far better ball. Many a pitcher has looked good because the batter quit first—barely beating the pitcher to it." A NON-COMBATANT OPINES Dear Sir: I have no objection to Benny Leonard not enlisting. That part of it is up to Benny. What I, and many others, do object to is all the press agentlng and advertising Benny got where it was declared day after day that he was to enlist at on.ee. To use patriotism as part of an ad vertising scheme for prizefights is another matter. If Leonard had no in tention of enlisting, why all that press agent stuff If it wasn't merely to help Increase gate receipts? L. L. H., Jr. Benny is a prizefighter or a boxer. The war record of the clan speaks for Itself. ' The positions of Speaker and Cobb are exactly reversed from what they were a year ago to-day. At this time in 1916 Speaker was batting .385 and Cobb .350. To-day Cobb is .385 and Speaker .350. "In speaking of star outfielders," comments R. J. D., "why should one overlook Hap Felsch. of the White Sox?" One shouldn't. Felsch is one of the topliners, an outfieldlng bird of extremely rare plumage. "Slim Love, of the Yankees, has been drafted." In case Slim goes, the trenches must either be dug twelve inches deeper or twelve inches of Slim from the neck up will be in a highly non-strategic position. MINOR LEAGUES TO CLOSE GATES; FUNDS SCARCE Philadelphia, Aug. 15. —Prominent baseball men predict that all of the minor leagues will not attempt to operate next year. Many of them already have thrown up the sponge, while others are plucklly trying to keep alive until the middle of next month. It Is said that a majority of the clubs In the American Association, U-BOATS KEPT IN BY DESTROYERS Admiral Sims So Places Com mand German Submarines Cannot Cross Atlantic Washington, D. C.. Aug. 15. Proof that the American navy Is liv ing up to Its traditions is found In the report of the operations of the American fleet by Vice-Admiral Sims, in command, placed on file in the Navy Department. Admiral Sims' report covers the operations of our overseas fleet, with particular reference to the activity of American destroyers against the German submarines. The report is declared by navy officials to be a "most remarkable document." It shows that the destroyers have done excellent work and that some sub marines have been sunk, while nearly ft score-of American and allied ves sels have been rescued through the speedy response of the destroyers to SOS signals. The high-speed, well-armed Ameri can destroyers are keeping the Ger man submarines close to base, is the flat declaration of Admiral Sims. While the report does not say as much, officers who have studied it claim that the manner in which Admiral Sims has distributed his command is the real reason why the German submarines have mt made an attempt to operate on this side of. the Atlantic. The only present plan of meeting the U-boat menace, according to Ad miral Sims, is through the use of fast merchant ships, well armed, and with expert gunners, and following a dif ferent course each trip. This sys tem, supplemented with the method ical patrol of the ocean routes by the destroyers, will go far to hold the enemy In check. Pressure Is being brought to bear on the Secretary of the Navy to per mit the publication of Admiral Sims' report in full. It is probable that parts of It, at least, soon will be re leased for publication. ARMSTRONG QUITS READING Reading, Pa., Aug. IB.—Armstrong, the former Tufts. College star, who has been playing shortstop for the Reading New York State League club, played his last game with Man ager George Wiltse's Reading team yesterday. Armstrong has accepted a position with tht. Bethlehem Bteel Company and will be stationed at the Sparrows Point, Md„ plant. He is the Becond member of the Reading team to join the Bethlehem forces, Babblngton, outfielder, entering the comnajur'a plant at Lebanon, | the International League and the Pa cific Coast League, which comprise class AA, will lese big money ana that they will vote to abandon their pennant races in 1918. The two major leagues will go ahead as usual, but expenses, including play ers' salaries, will be cut to the bone. If all the minors quit next year, several thousands of players will be thrown out of employment. Third Series Model of Packard Twin Six Lines that carry more of beauty while yet retaining those hall marks which long have distinguished Pack ard cars are the first appeal of the new series Twin Six, announced to day. In both open and enclosed car riages of the pew model the long and low effect Is strikingly apparent. The top of the higher, narrower radiator breaks crisply into the bev elled shoulders familiar in Packard radiator design. The free-flowing fuselage line of the new car follows the plane of the narrowing: bevels, merging gradually into the cap molding of the car. A form-fitting windshield intersects at a smart angle. First cars of the new series are now being shown by Packard dealers. Each of these first cars has been finished in derby red. Those who have seen a typical car of the new line speak of it as a new creation. It is stated that the practical per fection of the Twin Six motor, dem onstrated in the service of 18 000 owners, has a bearing on the new lines; for with engine perfection se cure, the talent of Packard designers and engineers could be concentrated on the qualities of style. Changes in the Twin Six motor are refinements of detail. The full power, smooch action and economical per formance of the Twin Six have estab lished the twelve-cylinder engine in the favor of the motoring public. In the new series, the channeling of the Kas passages in the cylinder head has been improved, to Insure an even bet ter distribution of fuel to the cylin ders and thus to attain to even more marked economy, especially in hand ling low-gravity gasoline. The new motor is notable for Its clean design. The control has been simplified. A clean steering column is achieved by removal of the control board and plac ing of ignition, lighting and fuel mix ture controls In a convenient setting on the instrument board. The Keir shift lever is in the central position. The wheelbase of the 3-35 is 136 inches and that of the 3-25 is 128 inches. ' The new car is equipped with springs of semi-elliptical pattern. These springs are wide and long-leaf ed. assuring. In association with the smoothly uniform action of the twelve-cylinder engine, a most luxuri ous riding quality. As has always been the practice of the Packard Company, special atten tion has been given to the bodies. There are seventeen different body Btyles in the new line, each of them suited to a purpose and expression of the best taste in the coachbuilder's I art. All bodies are roomy and comfort able. The open cars are upholstered in straight-grain, hand-buffed, plait ed. Interiors of enclosed carriages are tailored in soft textures, patterns of which may be selected from a wide variety of weaves. Lustrous finish and perfect appointments give the final touch of elegance to the new serlea car. PLANK RETIRES FROM BASEBALL Veteran Pitcher Is at His Get tysburg Home; Strain Tell ing Upon Him ■ .**yvw->•'" ~ I^- EDDI£ FLANK. Detroit, Augi. 15.—Eddie Plank, j the veteran left-hander, has retired permanently from baseball. Fielder Jones, of the St. Louis Americans, " made this known yesterday, when he announced that Plank had left the team last Saturday and goije to his home at Gettysburg, Pa. Plank informed him, Jones said, that his reason for retiring was that the strain of baseball was telling on him, causing trouble with his stomach. Plank's last game was pitched in Washington a week ago Monday | when Walter Johnson defeated him, 1 1 to 0, in eleven innings. Famous Career Plank became famous as a pitcher in 1900, when he performed for the J Gettysburg College team, as he has ( been pitching continuously ever since he has been nearly 18 years j in the game. I In 1901 he became a member of : [the Athletics and his success during; 'his long stay with the Mackmen is; ! well known. For many years he | was regarded as the greatest left i hander in the big leagues. He helped i the Mackmen win their pennants ! and world's series honors. In 1915, when the Federal league was hold- j ing out golden bait to star players, no obstacle was placed in Plank's way and he joined the St. Louis Federal League team. When the peace pact was signed with the Federals, Plank became a member of the St. Louis Americans. Although more than 40 years old, Plank continued to pitch winning I .all right up to the time of his re tirement. Few players have re mained in harness for the length of time that Plank has lasted on the pitching peak. Plank has invested in farm land in the vicinity of Get tysburg and his decision to retire from baseball to the farm does eome as a surprise to those who are well I acquainted with the great pitcher. ] • Woodman Loses Race; Miss Perfection Winner Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 15. The Woodman, hitherto unbeaten 1917 trotter, yesterday met defeat when Miss Perfection won the 2.09 trot, opening the second grand circuit meeting at North Randall. The Woodman was the favorite, as Mack Forbes, picked to give him compe tition, became ill and was scratched. Only one favorite rewarded during the afternoon, Ruth Malnsheet tak ing the measure of her opponents In the 3-year-old trotting stake. In the 2.07 pace The Savoy, the favorite, was beaten by Day Spring, which sold for $l5 in a pool of $lBO, and Day Spring won easily. Spy Direct, piloted by Geers, was the vic tor in the 2.17 pace, defeating Peter G., the favorite, In rather easy fashion. Two Syracuse Players Have Quit Mike O'Neill Syracuse, N. Y., Aug. 15.—Short stop Ray Keating, of Philadelphia, and Pitcher Bill Taylor, of Pinebank, Pa., of the Syracuse Stars, quit the team and went home yesterday be cause the salary was too small. Both declared they were unable to break even and preferred playing semipro fesslonal ball near home. This leaves the Syracuse club with only nine men, including three pitchers, forc ing all twirlera into the game every day as outfielders when not In the box. Keating has been drafted and waived exemption and joins the army on September 5. The New York State League is making desperate efforts to hang on in hopes of sell ing the Syracuse franchise to the' International League for $25,000 and splitting up the money to offset losses. Johnny Kilbane Is Not to Quit Ring Contests New York, Aug. 15.—Johnny Kil bane has not retired. The great little featherweight champion has de cided to look upon the Leonard ca tastrophe as one of the ups and downs of a real champion's career— and what is more, he Is going to box a real knockout terror fifteen rounds to a decision for his crown. Klibane has accepted a guarantee of $2,500 to fight K. O. Egeers a fifteen-rounder to a decision for the title at New Haven. Hugh Le Bang, who Is to promote the bout, has net decided Just what date he will name, but he thinks that it may be Labor Day. In addttlon to the money guarantee Kilbane has the choice of taking 40 per cent, of the gate receipts. AWAITS CALL TO COLORS Chicago, 111., Aug. 15. "Pally" Drlscol, former star football player on the Northwestern University team, and now a member of the Chicago National League club, is at his home in Evanston awaiting a call to the colors.

STILL CHAMPION Successfully Defends Title in j Match With Miss Sheesley; Other Winners i % Mrs. Chris H. Sauers, three times city champion of Harrlsburg, sue | cessfully defended her title to-day In the challenge round of the Greater Harrisburg tennis tournament. She won from Miss Mildred Sheesley, of Paxtang, by scores of 6-1 and 6-2. Except for a brilliant spurt in the lirst few games of the second set, the younger player was outclassed most of the time. William McCreath, city champion in singles, with his partner, John Kunkel, carried off first honors In the men's doubles. They took three j straight sets, although the last one was bitterly fought. Yesterday's matches were excep tionally interesting. The work of Mrs. Sauers occasioned much favor able comment. At no time was her title in danger. Near the close of the match Miss Sheesley showed a bril liant spurt that brought prolonged applause. Experience played a big part In the victory in this series. Mrs. Sauers' work has always been on the championship order. Praise For Miss Sheesley All the praise possible came to Miss Sheesley. Her work throughout the tournament has brought much favorable comment. She showed pluck In every match and her play ing created a general belief that Miss Sheesley is scheduled for future hon ors. The match between William Mc- Creath and John Kunkel, and Glen wood Beard and Robert Shreiner furnished many interesting features. The Hrst set was an easy victory for the city championship and his part ner, and the second a runaway. The third was a battle royal.

To-morrow only, the Vitagraph presents Earle Williams and a new star, Corinne Griffith, in a Blue Ribbon feature, "The Stolen Treaty." Mae Murray, the charming actress in Paramount Pictures, is appearing at the Re "At Flrxt Sight," gent Theater To-day fit the Urgent to-day in "At First Sight." a decidedly novel production, thrf theme of which is the trials of an at tractive young girl desperately in love with an author. The latter is ex tremely absorbed with his latest novel, which his publishers demand at * an early date. The fascinating man- ~ ner in which she brought him to a realization of the fact that he was also very much in love with her and their abrupt and romantic marriage make up a photoplay that stands apart as a production of more than ordinary interest. A tale of the Caandlan Northwest, of the land where trappers and hunt ers ply their trade and the "tender foot" comes but rarely. "The Long Trail," staring Lou-Tellegen and Mary Fuller on the Paramount Program, will be seen to-morrow. "An Heir For a Night" is the title of the headliner on the bill at the Paxtang Park Theater Firework* this week, and if you see int I'nxtniiK this act you will readily To-morrow understand what has Night made "girl acts" so popu lar on the vaudeville stage. "An Heir For a Night" leaves nothing to be desired to make it com plete in every way. The comedy is good and Arthur West presents it as no other comedian could. The music is excellent. In all the numbers the chorus is elaborately dressed, and when it comes to swell-looking girls this act has some chorus. The balance of the park bill is made up of standard acts that always make good wherever you see them. To-morrow evening there will be a free fireworks display at Paxtang. and the park management will endeavor to make up for the display that the rain prevented them from showing last week. An elaborate program has been been arranged, and if the weather man behaves, there will be a regular fireworks exhibition at the park to morrow night.
