Up near tne top of Ban Johnson's honor list one finds the names of ("ebb. Speaker, Roth Veach, Mclnnis and Baker, with Sisler as the only comparative newcomer to get into the thick of the battle. In the Tener league one finds the- names of Roush, Cruise, Hornsby, Kauff and Groh as the five leading batsmen, tak ing into consideration only the players who are in the game every day. Two or three years ago these names meant nothing in the Swat Society of the Na tional League. Zimmerman, Wheat, Danbert and Wagner, the stars of other days, are found below the .300 mark and several others who cnce battled for the batting honors of the senior league have dropped out of the game. But in the American League the old timers hold sway. *■ J I Save the Good Your [j Vacation did.

GORDON SHOE REPAIRING CO. 230 Strawberry THURSDAY EVENING, 'SHORTY'S' HIT WINS IN TENTH Dauphin Throws Big Scare Into Steelton in Sensational Game; Some Stars Steelton had some foe yesterday in the Dauphin team of the Dauphin- Perry league. The Bethlehem League beys won out In the tenth, score 2 to 1. Dauphin was not pleased at the treatment received at the hands of the umpire and would like to meet Shorty Miller's squad on a neutral ground with a different man with the indicator. According to Dauphin fans, close decisions were a factor in Steel ton's victory and that several times Steelton fans called for "fair play." ScnKntlonnl I*ln;lnic One thing is certain, those Steelton hitters and baserunners were busy. Fast fielding featured the teamwork and sensational plays were numerous Dauphin's ability to bunch hit's brought a run in the second inning, after Steelton had tallied one in the fiist. It was then a battle of pitchers until the finish. Miller was responsible for the win ning run in the tenth. Hoar singled and was sacrificed to second by Rob- Ir.son.

Olympia Club Reports Successful Ring Season Philadelphia, Aug. 16.—More than' SIOO,OOO was contributed by the fight fans of Philadelphia to support boxing contests held under the su pervision ot the Olympia Athletic Association officials last season. This remarkable tribute was revealed at the annual meeting of the stock holders. held yesterday at the South Broad street arena. Of course. ther>3 were expenses. The boxers had their share. Then there were upkeep I charges, depreciation of value in fur- j niture and fixtures, but when the! balance was struck the stockholders! were handed a dividend of $6 per| share. Even the most pessimistic; was elated. The club gave forty-one shows | and brought all the champions of the world, excepting Willard, to its I arena for bouts. In fact, it paid out 1 more than $75,000 to boxers. At the election of officers, which ! followed the business meeting, Harry j D. Edwards was elected president,! Russell Edwards vice-president, Er- J nest Jambor secretary-treasurer,' who, with W. I. Lofland, of Denver, j Del., constitute the board of direc-1 tors. The 1917-18 season will open on ; Monday, August 27. Prior to the opening the building is to be com- I pletely renovated and repainted. The exit doors have been fitted with j "panic bolts." so that the arena can \ be emptied of 5,500 spectators inside of five minutes. Other facilities for j the safety and convenience of patrons are to be provided. "DUMMY EVANS" DIES New York, Aug. 16.—Paul Maich- \ ise, a mute boxer, known in the | sporting world as "Dummy Evans, 1 ' I died yesterday in the Polyclinic Hospital from a fractured skull. He I was removed last night from a hall I in West Forty-fourth street, where j he had taken part in a bout under the auspices of the Pioneer Sporting j ; Club. The bout was one of the pre liminary affairs. It was scheduled to go six rounds. In the second round Evans got shaky. The referee stopped the bout and ordered him re moved to the dressingroom. Once 1 in the room the mute collapsed. An ambulance was summoned. Evans never regained consciousness in the hospital.

A DOWX-AND-OCTEH'S TOAST You may drink if you will to the guy up on top, To the swag he will get and the flag he will cop; To the shouts of acclaim that oft herald his name As he struts in the lead down the highway of fame; You may drink if you will to the leaders —not I, Those swell-headed mutts who are gulping the pie, So come, get in line, dump the booze in your face "To the poor under dogs at the foot of the race." Say, why should I drink to the guy that has won? He'll get all that's coming for what he has done; He's long on the cheers, but short on the jeers. And only encouragement rings in his ears; He doesn't need cheering because he has won. But the fellow who does is the son-of-a-gun Who dropped far behind in the gruelling pace; So "Here's to the dubs at the foot of the race." DOWN-AND-OUTER. MORE WAR AND SPORT TALK These facts are fairly well self-evident: • 1. Every one in the coun.try isn't going to war at the same time. 2. The many thousands or the millions who are not going at once, in- i eluding both young and old, need the physical development of sport. 3. President Wilson, Secretary of War Baker, the Army and Navy j boards all ask that sport be continued, for the general good of the nation. This being so, it is essential to keep sport under way, for the better physi cal condition the nation holds the better it will be able to wage war. Sport for those who take part in it, means health and recreation. These j are two of the very few things that happen to belong to both peace and war. BACK TO FOOTBALL This brings us back to football again. As long as colleges are to be 1 opened this fall football should he maintained —not to win championships, but to help build up men. We still believe the best scheme in sight is to have all college, elevens j made up of men or boys who have never made the first team before. This means an even start, and. mora than this, it means development of those ; who need it most. And certainly Harvard, Yale and Princeton should not be among those 1 to lead the backward march. THE CASE OF CURTIS REDDEN Curtis Redden was one'of Michigan's star ends, a wing mate of Neil Snow's. When war was declared Redden Immediately transferred his en tire services to the army game. In a city of no undue proportions he was connected with the National Guard where the membership was well down. In less than a month Red den had been the leading factor in recruiting over 700 men. He had the element of leadership, and a goodly portion of this element was developed upon the football field of Ann Arbor in the days when Michigan ruled the West. NOT THAT WE EVER HEARD OF Dear Sir: I see where Francis ouimet has claimed exemption on the ground that he can be of service to the Red Cross. This is a new one on 'me. Of course, I see how the government may decide that a man may bo more useful in a Ked Cross capacity than as soldier. But isn't that for the government to say? Have any others in sport used this as exemption grounds? L. G. D. Thousands of golfers all over ... country have been playing for Red Cross funds and contributing* liberally, but few of these would consider this any matter for a nexemption claim unless the government ordered it so. The umpire might well put in an exemption claim on the basis that he had already served in his share of warfare. •And according to ball players and managers and fans, most umpires would be exempt on account of bad eyesight. If a ball player were on an exemption board he would be in a terrible stew when an umpire came up for inspection. The player would consider it extreme bliss to send the umpire to the front, but he'd hate to have to admit that aforesaid umpire wasn't blind. "Everything is higher on account of the war." Not everything. When Comiskey bought Joe Jackson and Eddie Collins they were averaging .350 at bat. Since we have entered the war Collins and Jackson are under .270. In a number of cases the war hasn't affected batting averages a higher range to any notable extent. THE PRUNE COCKTAIL • Malc I>ikc the Oyster Cocktail, With Catsup ami Tabasco A prune hater who- declares him self to be a "food expert" has en tered a protest against a culinary hint that "a dash of lemon adds flavor to the prune.Undoubtedly, he admits, there are some who like the prune, and from their standpoint the adding of a dash of lemon is a futile painting of the lily, "for the rest of us—9S.9S per cent, of the | eaters." he says, "the true garnish of the prune (if we must eat it) consists of one-hajf teaspoonful of tabasco, one-half teaspoonful of liquor glass of cognac, and three dry Martinis. .A dash of absinthe is permitted to those who like It." We suspect that tne gentleman Is attempting an essay In humor, but he has not been very successful In giving a really new twist to the ancient prune joke. The suggestion of cognac and cocktails would make it appear that the prune Is simply: being used as an excuso for alcoholic Indulgence, which Is a weak Inva sion of principle In any circum stance. In this case It Is a flabbier excuse than is offered by the per sons who turn hopefully to whisky and quinine when they have colds, but do not worry much when they find there Is" no quinine In the house. As a rule. It will be found that such persons are peculiarly sus ceptible to colds. Any person with true strength of character and moral courage will do one of two things when he wants a drink that is alcoholic In whole or in part. Either he will resolutely ab stain from the Indulgence or he will take the drink without making any HARRISBURG TKLEGRAPH bones about it. But If he is intel lectually honest he will not trouble to invent so feeble an excuse as a solitary pill or a frail prune. Anyway, the prune garnish sug gested by this critic is chemiclly and dietetically incorrect. The cognae would swear at the tabasco and horse radish, and even one Martint would produce an abominable dis cord. Three ol" them in such a com. bination would be enough to start a riot. Altogether the mixture would be indescribably offensive to the palate and would have an effect upon the digestion that cannot be calculated. The attempted joke is sadly overdone. It does contain a hint, however, which might be of some use to those who really dislike prunes. There might be no objection to the prune cocktail among persons who do not want to taste prunes when they are eating them. The formula would be the same that is followed in some other popular appetizers. Take half a dozen thoroughly stewed prunes, carefully stone them and place in a tall glass with a tablespoonful of Juice. Cover with a sauce composed of tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, horse radish and tabasco. As an effective disguise this Is complete, and it ought to be as popular with the persons who dislike prunes as with those who pretend they like them.—Providence Journal.

Over 10,000 peoplb yesterday witnessed the best day's racing seen here for a long time, and with 11 heats in the three events they got the full worth of their money. All were warmly contested. The 2.25 trot was won by Nancy Hanks and she set a new record for herself. She won the first heat in 2.18%, with Tyson driving. Kathryn Colotte, away in the rear at the three-quarter, made a whirlwind finish, only a neck behind. Tyson took the next heat in the slower time of 2.20, but Nancy Hanks won the next two and race, with Tyson always a close second. The 2.14 pace was won in straight heats by Miss King, whose mark of 2.12% clipped to 2.10%. She was driven by Jack McGrath, and his brother Ed. with, Wade Locnnda, always an interesting con tender, won second money. Sixteen horses lined up for the 2.28 trot, the biggest field seen on the local tracks for years, and the remarkable feature was that all but one were in up to the final one ot the four heats. El Sahib took the initial heat in 2.15%. but Mott, with Bedworth Chief, outdrove him in the next three and won the race. In the tlntßh of each heat nearly the whole field was closely bounded. &G [I SCORES OF YESTERDAY National l.rnKuo Boston. 3; Philadelphia, 0. Brooklyn, 3; New York, 2 (first j game).

In the 2.13 pace Butte Hale, driven by Murphy, proved the class of his field and although he did not win either of the three heats by a largo margin, was not forced to extend himself. The 2.15 trot, with eleven starters was a hot proposition from start to finish. Royal Hall, the favorite, was not even a contender, Cora David go ing to the front and walking off with first money.

'Good Rules to Follow When You Play Golf Seven cardinal rules for golfers, as set down by Harry Vardon, six times now open champion of Great Britain, are as follows: "Keep the head steady and do not let the left heel turn out ward—then the body can only wind up when the arms go back. "Grip firmest with the thumbs and forefingers—they are not so well adapted as the other fingers to the purpose of taking a string hold and they are the most im portant of all for the purpose ol the golf grip. "Let the club head lead, thq left wrist turning inward, the arms following the club head and the right hip screwing next. "Don't throw the arms forward as you start to come down as though you were mowing the grass. Rather throw them back and let them come around in their own way from that point. "Let the movement of the right shoulder be steady and rhythmic; it should have nothing in the na ture of a sudden drop or Jerk. "Don't bo afraid to hit hard; if you arc swinging correctly, hard hitting If not pressing. "Keep your head still until the club has struck the ball." August 16, 1917 WELLY'S jf CORNER Future games on local schedules must not be overlooked. On Saturday Manager Harry Burrs will take his Casino paeemakers to West Knd A. A. field for a game with the leaders In the local championship series. Har risburg's crack colored aggregation has only been In the field since June, but has been causing quite a stir in baseball circles. Steelton's baseball offering on Sat urday will be Logan Square, of Phil adelphia. Much interest is manifested in this game because it will bring to Steelton a number of former college and Trl-State stars. New Cumberland shooters will be hosts on Saturday to many crack shots from this vicinity. The gun club of that place hAs planned for a big program starting at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. There will be six trophies competed for and everybody Is invited to Join in dusting the clay birds. One of the trophies will be for beginners. A large field of shoot ers s expected and there will be a lively competition. Remodeling the Map of Darkest Africa Much has been written of the! changes to be made in the map of Europe as a'result of the war, but It is likely that these will be insig nificant, in extent of territory in volved, as compared with the changes to be made in the map of Africa. The so-called "dark continent" is now a hodge-podge of races. A re distribution of the territories of the allies Is almost certain to be made In order to bring about a greater homobeneity. Such a reshiftlng of boundary lines would add greatly to the development of the various colonies, especially those of the west | coast. The British dream of an "all, rail" route from Cairo to the cape will be realized in the absorption of German East Africa, the con quest of which has been almost-com pleted by the forces of the Union of South Africa. The latter dominion is already in full possession of German South west Africa. If Great Britain can effect a deal with Portugal for Por tuguese East Africa the whole south ern part of the continent will be be neath the British flag. It is under stood that Britain, in the redis tribution of Africa, stands ready 10 give up her possessions on the west coast in order to obtain supremacy in the east and soutn. Belgium and Portugal will retain their hold on J the destinies of Central Africa, and their territories are likely to be in% creased in extent. The changes to be made will provide large, connect ed areas for each country involved. —New York World. THE INNOCENCE OF YOUTH!

America and her allies face a shortage of 250.- 000,000 bushels of wheat to tide them over until the 1918 harvests, the Na tional Service Handbook issued by the official Bureau of Public Information i declares. Simultaneously it is learn j ed from other sources that the Gov- I ernment is making a world survey to determine other sources of wheat sup [ ply. Careful inquiry has been made into the possibility of encouraging wheat planting in Siberia, with as surances of large purchases from the allied Governments. "In the United States," says the new official document, "the crop of winter wheat is very definitely far below normal. Even with the increased acreage for spring wheat the forecast for the United States is but 656,000,- 000 bushels. The lowest unofficial Canadian forecast is 250,000,000, which, added to the possible 100,000,000 bush els carried over from the present makes approximately 1,006,000,000 bushels. "We will need for the coming year for flour manufacture for the United States and Canada 550,000,000 bushels. For seed to plant the 1918 crop 90.- 000,000 bushels will be needed. Vari ous industries will require 10,000,000 bushels, and carrying half the pres ent surplus would add 50,000.000 bush els more, making a total of 700,000,- 000 bushels for the United States and Canada. "The allies will need at least 550.- 000,000 bushels of wheat and 425,000,- 000 bushels of feed grain to carry them through to harvest. We will have but 300,000,000 bushels to ex port—a shortage of 250,000,000 bush els." The handbook then says that every effort and some sacrifices must be made by the country to meet the threatened shortage. The book is designed, according to Chairman Creel, of the committee, "to point out the most useful revenues of service," to the people of the country and at the same time Inform the pub lic what the Government is doing in its effort to press the war to a quick and successful close.
