SPORTS OFFICIALS TO CONFER TONIGHT ON PLANS FOR CITY CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES LEAGUE BERTH BALTIMORE HOPE Rumors Again Stir Baseball Circles in Baltimore and Washington Baltimore, Md., Aug. 28. —Balti- more fans, who have more ups and downs in the baseball world than those of almost any other big Amer ican city, are again given reason to hope for big league baseball. Never before has the big league talk been so persistent, and the men who pro fess to be on the "Inside" are more emphatic this time than ever in de claring that next season will see the home of the fajmous old Orioles in the American League. As unreasonable as it may seem to those whose last flickering hope for major ball for Baltimore died into cold ashes to bo swept away by the winds when the Federals went crashing to the rocks, Information from a source without question Is that plans are on foot to transfer the Washington franchise here. Rumors that such a movement was gaining momentum midway of this season, when the Washington fans began looking on Clarke Griffith's consistently losing team with eold disdain, caused local fans to stick an ear to the ground. But Ban John son, always the nemesis of major j ball Is expected regain for the Old When he did away went hope once again. Czar Ban told the world that there was absolutely no chance of this city supplanting the Nation's Capital in his circuit. Times Are Changing However, times are changing. From an unexpected and semi-offi cial source information comes that Ban's heart has begun to soften. He, It Is now understood, is thoroughly In accord with Clarke Griffith's plan to close up the show In Washington and come here, where Sunday base ball is expected t regain for the 6ld Fox and those who have sunk their kale in the Washington Club the enormous losses sustained the last couple of years. Jack Dunn it is understood is go ins to New York to endeavor, with his wonderful ability to develop young stars, to lift the Yankees out of the mire. With a winning team to the American League's foundation would be added a couple more lavers of concrete. Wild Bill Donovan,! since leaving Providence to go to New York, hasn't done anything worth raving about. Dunn Gets Ready Dunn is right now, according to the best information, cleaning house preparatory to leaving Baltimore. His players, no matter who they may be are on the market. Barber." Few ster, Lamar, Thermahlen. Shannon ana McAvoy already have been sold. Merito Acosta, who Uolongbd to Washington, will be recalled at the end of the season. There are several others on the club who may go In a day or so. Having come from such a reliable source, and the facta are so plaus ible and Interesting, this dope is given added significance by infor mation to the effect that the plan to shift the Washington franchise is really the outcome of the suit of the Baltimore Feds against Organized Baseball. It is said, and again re liably so, that this was agreed to when the famous suit was so sud-1 denly withdrawn from the United States District Court at Philadelphia. The local Feds, It Is believed, will be given the controlling stock in the' club, with Cla e k Griffith retaining the big block he already holds. The American League, It Is said has been brought around to the side of Bal timore by the outpouring of fans at the recent Sunday games. St. Louis Americans Win Prize For Fine Drilling Chicago. Aug. 28.—Members of the St. Louis Club are winners of the competitive military drill of the American League. Lieutenant Colonel Raymond ShelddJi, IT. S. A., who re viewed the clubs last week, announced his decision yesterday. The players will be presented with SSOO by Presi dent Johnson, of the American league. The army sergeant who drilled them will get SIOO. Second place was given to the Washington club and third place to Cleveland. Chicago *was awarded fourth place, Boston fifth, Detroit sixth. New York seve'nth and Phila delphia eighth. The competition was judged accord ing to military standards. The St. Louis players were perfect In variety of movements and punctuality and were only penalized one point in dis cipline and six points in drilling. Lieutenant Colonel Sheldon. In his report, said he was astonished at the efficiency of the teams. "The sergeants deserve great credit for the results they have achieved In such a short time." he said, "and the ball teams are entitled to the highest commendation for the splendid man ner in which they acquitted them selves." President Johnson said that mili tary drilling undoubtedly would be carried out every season. Napoleon Lajoie May Be Back With Majors Soon New York, Aug. 28.—Nap Lajoie's success as a manager in the Interna tional League and the recovery of his batting eye are almost certain to drag the veteran back into the big leagues. ' Several clubs are known to have approached the powers with a view to Kitting Lajoie, and at least one club has made him a tentative oiler to manage it next year. Lajoie is satisfied with his lot In Toronto. He is well liked there. His team has been in the pennant fight all the way, and the club has been pros perous. Hence, he isn't figuring very heavily on leaving. The amount of money offered him for his work as a big leaguer, however, is expected to have Its effect. And there are clubs who are ready to put up a big price for the Frenchman's services. '> Toronto is expected In baseball cir cles to have an American League club before many seasons pass. In fact. It is confidently expected the transfer will be made this winter. If Lajoie tould be given the managership of this aggregation, or even if he were given a berth as player he probably would be satisfied. It rtiA? cortie to pass that such an arrangement could be made.

FOOTBALL AT CARLISLE IS TO BE REAL SPORT; PRACTICE NEXT WEEK Carlisle. Pa., Aug. 28.—The Carlisle Indian School's football team Is again on the schedule of big colleges In the eastern and southern parts of the country. This school expects to have a team this fall that will rival teams of former years when the Indians were in their prime. The plans are about completed for the training of a machine that will give big university teams a strong tussle to win. Plans for the football season are nearly complete since a larger num ber of the dates on their schedule have been filled. A good number of the old men will be back and while no prediction regarding the new ma terial can be made. It Is hoped that when the school opens on September 3 many promising athletes will attend. Couch Hurri* to Report No practice has as yet been under taken, but early next week candidates will be tried out. Leo Harris, who has been selected as football coach, will arrive at the school this week and immediately take charge of all plans for the entire team. Among the old men to be back are George Tlbbitts and Captain Jake Herman. Herman is a Chippewa Indian from Minnesota AMUSEMENTS REVIEW OF MAJESTIC BILL Show With Variety Aplenty Has Some Excellent Work in Spots Large audiences, at the Majestic last night watched with Interest and wonder the series of clever dives given by the Society Diving Beauties, listed as headllners for the first half of the week at the vaudeville the ater.

Also in the scene at the stake she again attains a high degree of artistry. The part L s _' 1 ® r best on the screen.

Those scenes depleting the coronation of Charles, the appeal of the Maid of Dauphin, the mailed men in combat seemingly by thousands, are as Im pressive as any yet produced.

HAPJRJBBURG TELEGRAPH fjporili&ki &GranUan&Jtice Copyright, 1917, The Tribune Association (New York Tr(buna). CHANT OF THE SECOND DIVISION BUG Come on, you grand old Winter League; Raus mlt this fagging summer season, These clammy days of deep fatigue, Enough to sap a fellow's reason. Beyond the borders of the rose, Oh, bring again the Old Stove's Inning, When valiantly across the snowfe Our gallant ball club starts to winning. Come on, oh gallant Winter Time, When 'Mogul Smith predicts a peVinant," When from the cellar depths we climb, And first place finds us there a tenant; A tenant on the topmost hill, Where every club becomes a hummer Through March and April, on until We hit the chutes again next summer. , THREE YEARS Three years ago this August Norris Williams found himself facing Anthony \V ilding in the last of the Davis Cup series—the last, at least, until peace comes back. War had just been declared, and Wilding knew that it was only a mat ter of days until he started for the front. I 'With the vastness of the war's first impetus there may have come to* Williams even then the thought that he, too, might some day be called upon to surrender the racquet for the gun. Or perhaps it never occurred to him that his country would be called In. Three years have brought about more than a trifle in the way of change. Wilding has passed on to the Far Country, and Williams has played in his last tennis tournament until the war is over. McLOUGHLIN'S LAST STAND T M. at P l 4 tournament recalls McLoughlln's brilliant finish at the top. It will take more than wars and battles to remove memories of his play that August week against Brooks and Wilding, the Nonpareils from around the world. That last stand undoubtedly contributed in part to the Californian's decline. In overcoming two such marvels in one wleftk, part of the old vitality was burned away—part of the ancient dash was removed —and from that point he had but one way to go—and that was back. EAST VS. WEST L. K. G.—There have been twelve world series since the new arrange ment dating from 1905. Of these twelve only one was an Intersectional affair—that between the Cubs and Athletics In 1910. The others have been West against West or East against East. The West has had nine world series entries and the East has known fifteen. If the White Sox win this season the next W. S. will be the first intersectional clash In seven years— and the second on record. A PICK OUT OF RANGE, Here is one of the simple, easy queries thiß come in a day's mall: "Who Is the best tennis player America has ever produced—Larned, McLoughlin or Williams?" # You can see, off hand, how easy it is to outline an answer here. The Dohertys always said that Malcolm Whitman was the best man they had ever faced. • Bill Larned Won the championship seven times, smashing all records. McLoughlin within one week beat Norman Brookes and Anthony Wild ing, the greatest single achievement in American lawn tennis history Any number of tennis players have told us that William Johnston knew a greater Variety of strokes than any other entry from this side of the water. And Norris Williams has beaten both McLoughlin atad Johnston in championship finals. Make your own pick. THE ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT "Matty has his Reds hustling." We have seen this line more than once here lately—and it is the answer to managerial success. It is the answer to whf Matty has lifted a club from last place in 1916 to the first division in 1917. You hear quite a trifle about strategy, tactics and the like. These things count. But the essential ingredient lor managerial success is ability to keep a ball club hustling. For this requires not only the liking, but the respect of the players. It means the arousing of ambition and. the development of team morale. Which is 82 per cent, of managerial fitness And Matty has pretty well proved that he has the ingredient required. Any number of changes occur from year to year in all-Amerlcan selec tions, but Cobb, Speaker, Collins and Alexander stay fixed. The four have remained Immovable for the last six years. And it's the long trail that counts. WAR'S BOX SCORE . When over the top they go—facing the hostile roar— Only the call of the roll next day can give the final score. [Wednesday and Thursday—Alice Joyce and Harry Morey In "Richard, the Brazen." REGENT To-day, Wednesday and Thursday Geraldine Farrar in "Joan, the Wo man."

The delicious Irish wit of "Peg o' My Heart," which is booked to appear at the Orpheum, Saturday, "Peg o' matinee and night, is the My Heart" kind one often reads about, but rarely meets face to face, as It were. It ripples, it scintillates, Hashes like sunlight upon the stream, slips behind a cloud, with ever promise of rain, and just as the tears are about to run over, the cap tivating brogue and irresistible humor, kindly in intent, comes to th surface and are welcomed with smiles and laughter. Not in years has the stage presented a character so lovable, so sincere, so human, so happy, so sorrowful, so sturdy, so boyish, so girlish in tenderness and sympathy as "Peg o' My Heart." The human qualities of "Peg o' My Heart" constitute its greatest charm. America's singing comedian, Al. H. Wilson, who, with his talented com pany will present a Al. H. Wilson's new song-play, en- N'ew Songs titled ' "Tile Irish Fifteenth,' on Tues day, September 4, matinee and night, at the Orpheum, will have a list of original songs that for melody and merit will surpass any heretofore ren dered in his formr plays. The titles suggest a musical treat being named. "My Mother's Wedding Hing," "1 Want liou Then Machree." "Ireland Is Your Home, Sweet Home," "A Lily From Heaven," and "The Irish Will Be There." Enid Bennett, the beautiful Aus tralian star, appears to-day only in her third starring Rnld Bennett, play, "Happiness," a In "Happiness," ' delightful comedy nt the Coloniul drama, at the Co lonial Theater. Miss Bennett demonstrates her versatility by playing a role entirely different than that In "Princess of the Dark" or "Lit tle Brother." She Is a Philadelphia heiress, whom the Sunday newspapers have described as "the richest and most snobbish girl in America." As a matter of fact, she is so restricted by smug conventions that she has no op portunity to make friends. Because of her reputation for priggishness she meets a cold reception from students at the college which she attends. Her real happiness begins when she meets a boy who is working his way through college by taking in washing. A not able Ince cast .supports the star. To morrow and Thursday, "Richard, the Brazen," co-starring Alice Joyce and Harry Morey, will be the big attrac tion. Again Managed Davis has demon strated his ability to pick high-class vaudeville bills for PnxtanK Pnrk his park theater at Vaudeville Hill Paxtang. The bill for this week is headed by Frosinl, the celebrated ac cordionist, who is favoring us with a return engagement. Last evening Frosinl responded to a half dozen en cores and then the applause still kept up. The big comedy hit of the park bill Is Fogg and White, In a blackface offering that is just brimming over with fun. Other acts on the bill are: Ernest Dupille, who has a great line of new stories and comedy songs; Juno Sadmo and Company, in a clever acrobatic illusion stunt called "The Devil in Mid-Air,' and Rose Schmittan and Brother, in a classy equilibrist act that is a sensation both for beauty and skillful work. An extraordinary fireworks program Is .announced by the park manage ment for Thursday evening. Bombs, rockets and set-pieces of special de sign will be shown and one of the best displays of the season may be looked for. On Friday the park management and concesslonlsts will have their an nual bargain day. On that day, by buying strip tickets that will be offer ed for sale on tbo grounds, one may enjoy ice cream cones, the merry-go round, the giggler, roller coaster, etc., for half price. Bargain day has been a Paxtang feature for several years and always makes a great fcit, especi ally with the youngsters. Star Athletes Part of • U. S.
