New Crop of Sluggers
Americans Are Leading
Old timers who have been slug
ging away for several years past
continue to occupy the places of
prominence in the race for
American League batting honors,
but in the National League a crop
of new sluggers has come to the
tore. 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.

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. Miller hit, scoring the winning
run with one man down. The score:

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.

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.

NEW FIGURES IN
CIRUIT RACES
Nancy Hanks Goes Fast Mile
at Pottstown; Large
Entry List
Pottsvllle, Pa., Aug. 16. 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.

'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

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.

THE INNOCENCE OF YOUTH!
A solicitor, cteeply in eranest in
his efforts in an intricate case, was
astonished at being interrupted by
| a small golden-haired boy, his face
tear-stain#d, his eyes tearful. "Well,
my lad," said the lawyer, "and what
do you want?" "Are you a lawyer?"
the lad inquired, stuffing a grimy
fist into each eye. "Yes, sonnie,"
said the lawyer, "that's my calling
in life." "Then—then, please." said
the boy in a choking voice, "I want
a divorce from my papa and
mamma!"

SHORT WHEAT
UNTIL 'lB CROP
Allies Face 250,000,000 Less
Bushels Than Wanted
For Active Needs
Washington. Aug. 15. 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.
