Beat Washington in Shutout
Game; Foster Faints
on Field
Chicago. Aug. 24.— Military and
fl&gr&ising' day was topped oft with a
6 to 0 victory for Chicago over Wash
ington in the first game of the series
> esterday. The standing between
Boston and Chicago remained un
changed because Boston defeated St.
Louis. The locals bunched hits oft
Shaw in the third and fourth innings
and won easily. Cicotte was hit hard,
but was given good support in the
pinches.
The Chicago and Washington clubs
put on their drill for the inspection
of Colonel Raymond Sheldon, who is
to act as judge in deciding the best
drilled team, which will be given a
?500 purse, and whose drillmaster will
receive an additional SIOO.
During the drill Eddie Foster was
taken suddenly ill and fainted. He
was assisted from the field. It was
announced later that he waa suffer
ing from ptomaine poisoning. Clyde
Milan, also of the Washington club,
was out of the game with the same
ailment, having become ill early to
day.
Several regiments of infantry, num
bering about six thousand men, and
600 naval reserves attended the game
as quests of President Comiskey. Just
before the game started. Manager
Griffith, of the Washington club, who
started the Bats and Balls fund, was
presented with a check for J741.62 by
a local paper, to add to his fund to
* purchase baseball paraphernalia for
the boys in France. Several dozens
baseball were thrown up into the
stands to the soldiers and sailors by
the members of the two clubs.
Triple Play Stops Mack

Detroit, Aug. 24.-4 Detroit hit Noyes
hard to-day and won the first game
of the series from the Athetics, 7
to 3. Dauss was found for nine hits,
but kept thein scattered.
Detroit made a triple play in the
sixth inning, which Bodie began with
a home run drive over the left field
ft nee. Bates singled to center, Strunk
walked. Mclnnes hit a line drive to
ward left, but Bush made a jumping
catch and threw to Young, doubling
up Strunk. Young's relay to Burns
retired Bates.
WAll HITS COUNTY LEAGUE
Yorjt, Pa., Aug. 24.—The York
County League has decided to aban
don its schedule for the remainder
of the season. This action was
brought about not because of lack
of attendance nor interest in the race
but because so many teamd havo
lost tieveral of their star players
through the draft. Every team in
the circuit has lost one and several
two or more, and because of this
the officials decided to close down
for this season. Bed Lion was lead
ing the league by a good margin
and was reasonably sure of winning
the championship.

FRIDAY EVENING,
NILES WINNER
OVER WILLIAMS
Title-Holder Loses Out in
Semi-Final Round; Four
Sets Played
Forest Hills, N. Y., Aug. 24.— Play
ing in a steady rain which, varides
from a drizzle to a downpour, N. W.
Niles, of Booton, defeated K. Norrls
Williams, 2d, also of Boston, three
sets to one in the only match played
In the national patriotic singles tour
nament at tho West Side Club here
yesterday. Niles won the first, third
and fourth sets, while Williams took
the second, the scores being 6-2, 4-6,
6-4, 6-3.
The holder of the national cham
pionship does not lose his title as the
result of yesterday's defeat, however,
since the tournament is without
titular value, being played for the
benefit of the Lawn Tennis Asso
ciation ambulanco fund. If the
championship had been at stake the
contest never would have been com
pleted under the conditions that pre
vailed, for the turf, balls, racquets,
participants and spectators were
soaked long before the conclusion
of the match.
Rain Delays Contest
It was raining when the play6r
took the court and the drizzle in
creased to a downpour earl> in the
fourth set. necessitating a delay of
more than thirty minutes before play
could be resumed. A second couit
was used in the final set, having pre
viously been covered with can™ B ,
and ball boy.* sopped up niost of the
water pools just outside the playing
it was apparent from the start
that the weather conditions badly
handicapped Williams with his fast
stroking and foot work. 1 laying
with such" a narrow margin of satet>
over the net and along the lines as
is his custom, he could not get the
heavy balls to respond to his whip
like strokes and plied up errors like
a novice. Niles, too, was handi
capped by the rain, which dimmed
his eyeglasses.
No attempt was made to pla> the
other half of the semifinals, which
would have brought together H.
Bindley Murray, of Niagara t alls,
N. Y„ and John R. Strachan, ot
San Francisco.
Two matches were played in the
junior championship and one in the
bovs' division. In the former. I<.
Basttan, of Indianapolis, lnd., de
feated L. E. Williams, Chicago, 6-1,
6-0, 6-4, and C. S. Garland, of Pitts
burgh, won from G. Throckmorton,
Philadelphia, 6-1, 6-0. Among the
boys J. E. D. Jones defeated V. Rich
ards, 6-2,. 6-4, 6-0.
GIBBONS BEATS GEORGE CHIP
St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 24.—Tommy
Gibbons won a clean shade over
George Chip here last night. The
Newcastle miner made a great fight.
Tommy was in rare form. Mike Gib
bons worked in his brother's corner
and announced himself in fine con
dition for the match with Jack Dil
lon at Terre Haute, Ind., Labor day.
Saph McKenna, the sensational ban
tamweight of St. Paul, knocked out
Soldier Krocker in the second
round.
ATHLETES WHO WILL SHORTLY

fP, CmntlsndJ^ice
Copyright, 1917, Tha Trlbuno Association (Ner York Tribune).
"Isn't it true," an inquring reader desres to know, "that ball players j
who last ten years or longer are nearly always stars? I mean, a player of i
only average calibre rarely lasts over four or five years." Beyond any sort i
of debate.
Take the run of those now in the game wh<J have served ten, years or |
longer. The list includes Ty Cobb, Hans Wagner, llal Chase, Walter John- j
son, Chief Bender, Johnny Evers, Jack Coombs, Sam Crawford, Frank |
Schulte and Larry Doyle.
With only one or maybe two exceptions, these have all stood forth as
shining luminaries. Leaving out quantity they have surpassed in quality
as well.
Which is to say, that qunntity and quality go together in baseball, just
as they normally do in many other branches of existence.
QUALITY PLUS QUANTITY
There have been-very few great batsmen in the pa mo who did not serve!
at least ten years. Anson, Lajoie, Delehanty, Keeler, Cobb, Brouthers, j
Connor, etc., etc., all knew long spans of play. The same goes for pitch
ers. Mathewson, Johnson, Plank, Coombs, Bender, Waddell, Brown and |
Walsh were long term stars. They proved that quality and quantity go
together in the main.
Once in a rare while a star rises, shines a year or two and then fades
out. But this is not often so. Buss Ford was one example and Bill James,
of Boston, was another. A 1 Mamaux looks as if he might be a third.
George Stone, of the Browins, led the American League one season with
a mark of .358, only to fade out and slip back to the minors within two
years. But this is a rare occurrence. Any ball player who can lead the
league at bat is generally good for a ten-year term. Cobb, Lajoie and
Speaker have done about all of the American League leading for the last
fifteen years. League leaders in the National lor a long term have included
Hans Wagner, Sherwood Magee, Jake Daubert and Hal Chase. These have
either served ten years or more, or they will before the bush ever calls
them home.
TWO EXAMPLES
The two greatest machines of modern baseball times were the Cubs and
Mackmen. Few of their entries were short-term stars. On the Cubs,
Evers, Schulte, Brown, Sheckard, Hofman and Tinker were all ten-year
men.
The Mackmen finished second in 1909 and reached the top In 19J0,
seven years ago. Yet from that old machine Collins, Baker, Barry, Mc-
Innis, Bender, Coombs and Plank were all ready to take the field again i
this year. t
These statistics are sufficient proof that quantity in baseball generally
goes with quality and that the star as a big rule has also the stamina to go
the long route.
Jim Thorpe has come back to the Giants. "Which means one of two
things. Either the New York manager is not convinced Thorpe does not
possess the possibilities suspected in 1913 or ho is not satisfied with his
outfield utility strength.
Perhaps the latter is the case. Wilhoit has done wonderful work in the
few games he has played as a Giant. But Jack Murray has shown, no rea
son _w(Siy he should have been resurrected from obscurity. One or more
of New York's regular outfielders may be called for war at any time. Davey
Itobertson's summons may come any day. Kauff is not only eligible, but
highly desirable. He is a little giant physically ahd has no dependants.
A touch of pathos has threaded Jim Thorpe's professional baseball
career. The famous Indian is the nearest approach to physical perfection
this country has known in a generation. There was no form of sport or
competition to which he turned his hand at which he did not shine.
But Thorpe did not take baseball seriously until he decided to follow It
as a profession. Consequently he had not the experience which most
young men enjoy when they reach the majors. And experience has been
one of the chief handicaps of sunny Jim.
Thorpe is but one of three Indians who have kept" the aboriginal namo
prominently before the baseball public for some years. The other two at
tained heights to which Thorpe may never climb. Chief Meyers has been
slipping for the last three seasons. The desperate plight behind the bat or
the Boston Braves saved this scion of the Mission tribe for the time after
Brooklyn had handed him his unconditional release. It is possible Mcvern
may effect a come-back. Chief Bender, who is pitching fine ball occasion
?! ls f *} r "? e £ h ' llles ' has , more than once been relegated to the Down and
Out Club by both major leagues. But he wouldn't stay down.
LID FALLS ON
D-P CONTESTS;
NEWPORT WINS
"To-morrow when tho sun goes
I down and the moon comes up New
[ port will shine." This Is the little
j ditty that they are singing at Now
; port to-day. And the cause may be
I found In tho fact that the Perry
countians have clinched the 1917
Qauphin-Perry League pennant and
that the last regularly scheduled
games will be played to-morrow.
Only one game, tho Duncannon-
Dauphln game of Memorial Dtiy,
which was ordered replayed, remains
to be played.
To-morrow's schedule calls for the
new champs from Newport to go to
Millersburg to meet the tail-enders
from that place; Duncannon to en
tertain Halifax, and Marysville to be
hosts to the clan from Dauphin. The
official standing Is:
W. L. Pc£.
Newport 16 3 .842
Dauphin 13 5 .722
Dunpannon ft 9 .500
Halifax 8 11 .421
Marysville 7 12 .368

Expect Easy Victory
Newport does not expect to have
much trouble to take to-morrow's
conflict with Millersbur'g- In case
it victory for the new champs, two
| new records will be hung up. New
j port already has established a rec
i ord for victories with 16 out of 19,

defeats made by Halifax in 1915
with 16 to her credit.
Defeat to-morrow will make It
17 and a new record. Lear will likely
pitch for Newport, although Strieker
may be used. Reeder will catch.
Millersburg's battery will be Yar

South Atlantic League fame.
To Use New Players
Duncannon will likely use some
new players to-morrow and Halifax
will also use some youngsters. Dun
cannon's battery will likely be Cy
Davis, ex-Marysville slab artist and
Dearolf. Harry Blever will likely
twirl for Halifax with Minnich
catching. The veteran Blever will
complete quite a record to-morrow.
Ho is the only hurler used by Hali
fax this season, pitching twenty
games. It did not make any dif
ference to him if three games were
to be played during the week or not.
He pitched double-headers for the
team on Wednesdays and came
back fresh as a colt on Saturday on
two different occasions this year.
Marysville and Dauphin will have
a, friendly conflict on the Set del
Park grounds to-morrow. The cx
champs will ma'.;" a tremendous ef
fort to gain a viccory and have at
least a chance of entering into a tie
for fourth place. Manager Herman's
battery is uncertain to-night. Dau
phin will likely use Buck Gilday
and Ducky Rhoads. Jack Frey,' the
ex-St. Louis Federal Leaguer, or
young Williams of Gettysburg Col
lege, may be given a chance on the
mound to-morrow.
COMPANY I TO
MEET CASINOS
Probably Last Soldier Game
on Island; West Knd Plays
Rosewood A. C.
Harrisburg fans will have an
other big schedule to-morrrtw. One
of the important battles will take
place at Island Park between Com
pany I team and the Sixth Ward
Casinos. This will in all probability
be the last game for the soldier
boys in this city.
Company I has been cleaning up
their opponents, the game on Thurs
day with the crack New York sol
dier nine being a Kf>eordbrcaker.
The soldiers won honors at El Paso
and with the present aggregation
promise to be pacemakers when they
get south. The Casinos have been
winning games, their defeat last Sat
urday at the hands of the West Ei)d
being the first. The game at the
Island starts at 2.30 and the line-up
will be:
Company I —Williams, 3b.; Bor
dridgp, 2b.; Boss. ss.; Elsenberger,
P.; Taggert, If.; Swartz, lb.; Walz,
C., Dangler, rf.; Shaffer, cf.

Smith, c.; Shaw, If.; Williams, 3b.;
Reeves, 3b.; Lucas, cf.; Dengler, cf.;
Spencer, p.; Jordan, p.; Guye, 2b.;
Carpenter, ss.; fields, c.
Another interesting game will be
played on the field at Fourth and
Seneca streets, between the West
End A. A., and the Rosewood A. C.
There is considerable rivalry between
these teams. The game will start
at 3 o'clock. The festival by the
W.est End will be continued to-night
and to-morrow.
MONARCH MEET WHITE SOX
The Monarchs, another crack col
ored aggregation of baseball players
will meet the Mlddletown "White
Sox to-morrow afternoon on the
Twelfth street grounds. This brings
together two strong teaifls made up
of some of the best colored players |
in Dauphin county. The game
starts at 3 o'clock.
I Steelton will have an exhibition
I game. The Firemen and Engine-
I men are looking for a game and
hope to take on the Enola Midway
IA. C. If a game is arranged it will
|be played at Sixth and Division
| streets. The following players are
i requested to come out for practice
: this evening: Moll, Snell, Ilichter,
j Mlnnich, liupley, Sycoskl, Shade,

; Joe Bush Returns Home;
Will Take Punishment
Philadelphia, Aug. 24> —Joe Bush,
who was fined and suspended for
(he remainder of the season by Man
ager Mack at Cleveland Wednesday,
fired no verbal broadsides at Connie
Mack when he returned to this city
yesterday. Instead, Bush, after get
ting breakfast, went to Shibe Park,
where he put on his uniform and;
took a workout for an hour. Joe
went at his batting practice so ener
getically that he nearly broke the
clubhouse boy's left arm with a hot
liner.
In discussing his trouble with
Manager Mack, Bush said:
"I have not broken the club's
training rules, as X see Mr. Mack is
quoted as saying. The only thing
the matter with me is a sore thumb,
which has prevented me from curv
ing the ball as I am accustomed to
doing. I had some words with Mr.
| Mack during the game on Wednes
day. He had told me not to put too
| much speed on the ball, as the In
' ilians were laying for my fast ball.
I thought differently, and kept put
ting on speed. I guess Connie was
right, for Cleveland jumped me hard
in one inning. Mr. Mack said some
thing to mo and I said something
back. Then Mr. Mack fined me. I
didn't like that and said something
more, and I was ordered to take
the next train back to Philadelphia. l
Early Dreams iVctor in
Grand Circuit Race
Philadelphia, Aug. 24. —Don McDon
ald again drew the lion's share of the
applause and money in yesterday's
section of the grand circuit meeting.
He piloted the swift trotter, Early
Dreams, purchased for $12,000 last
week by J. J. Grouch, of Lafayette,
lnd., to its fourth victory in six starts
this season, and yesterday's prize was
one worth winning, the Winoga Stock
Farm purse of $5,000, of vhich
$2,750 reposed in Don's vest pocket
when the three heats were ended, his
10 per cent, winner's share and $750
for each heat.
He had to parade his swift off
spring of Richard Earl, out
Montague, back to the judges' stand
after his straight-heats victory, to
receive the multitude's plaudits and
a handsome victory wreath presented
by E. T. Stotesbury, donor of the
purse, named after his Chestnut Hill
stoc't farm. Mr. Stotesbury was a
conspicuous figure at the track and
in the judges' stand. His beuatlful
show horse, the black stallion Ebony
King, 2.17 ' A, was on exhibition dur
ing the presentation of the wreath.
This horse has never been beaten In
a show ring and quite fulfilled his
title of the most beautiful American
light harness horse.

has been aggravated, too, since Lutz
has removed from Harrisburg."
ONSLOW GOES TO GIANTS
New York, Aug. 24.—The New
York National League club an
nounced last night the purchase of
Catcher Jack Onslow from the Buffalo
club of the International League, the
deal to become effective August 25.
Substitute Outfielder Jack Murray
was informed by the Giants of his
unconditional release, to become ef
fective on the same date. This is
the third time Murray has been re
leased by the local club in two years.
The New York club returned Catcher

the National League refused to sanc
tion his purchase because the Giants
already had twenty-two players on
their roster.
