Recapture Honors
Pennsylvania recaptured the state
team championship after a lapse of j
two years. The Keystone quintet,
topped the teams from the various
sections of the country with a total
of 488 breaks In 500 targets. New
York and Ohio are nip and tuck for
second place in the unfinished race,
which will be concluded to-morrow.
Charles H. Newcomb, of Philadel
phia; Allen Heil, of Alientown; N'eal
Gillespie, of Pittsburgh, and H. P.!
Herman, of Lock Haven, each smash
ed 98 in their century blue rocks, and
Paul R. Burger, Catawissa, dropped
96. The grand total will probably
be four or Ave targets higher than;
the second team, and cannot possibly
be beaten no matter what the per-!
formances are to-day. New Jersey, I
which won the championship last
season, will likely be fourth. New
York won the title in 1915 and
Pennsylvania annexed in the three
previous tournaments.
J. I. Chipley, of Greensboro, S. C., i
won the Maplewood hundred with a
perfect run in his century. . A fast
clip was set in this competition in
which entries totaled some splendid
scores.
High Experts
Frank H. Huseman. of Roches
ter, and H. S. Welles, of New York,
were high in the expert division,
breaking 172 for the day. Other pro
fessionals went under 170. Herman
w as second among the amateurs with
172. R. D. Morgan, the sensation of
last year's tournament, is still shoot
ing well, and accumulated 171:
breads yesterday. Newcomb, C. D.
t'oburn, Neal Gillespie and Fred
Harlow grassed 170.
Clarence B. Piatt, New Jersey;
state-champion, dropped 165. Beau-i
champ, who won the Delaware title
this season, broke 169. Fred Plum;
also disappointed and fared poorly.
Woolfolk Henderson continues to
hold the long run record in this ex
clusive set with 115. S. G. Vance, of
Tlllaohburg, Ont., accumulated ill
before missing out in his best run.
William B. Severn, of Philadelphia,
is also ranking high on this calendar
with 7,8.
Thousands For Stars
Is Chicago Club Plan
Chicago. Sept. 13.—1t was recently
announced that the board of directors
of the Chicago Cub team met at the
Chicago Athletic Association and de
cided to give President Weeghnian
permission to spend $200,000 foe the
best ball players it is possible to get
for the club. This was verified by
President Weeghnian. who declared
that the figures mentioned were
wrong, and should have been $250,000
instead.
"I did not want this story to get
out at this time," said President
Weeghman, "but as it has I will say
that $250,000 has been given me to
spend for players. I expected to an
nounce it later, but not until after I
had bought 'h" men I wanted for
Manager Mitchell."
President \\ eeghman has tried to
purchase certain players all season,
but money could not land them. He
offered '.s much as $50,000 for lioger
lfornsby, of the St. Louis Club, but
even that sum could not "induce
Rranch Rickey or Miller Huggins to
part with the star inflelder. More
that $25,000 was offered for Max
Carey, of the Pirates, but that also
*as refused by Barney Dreyfuss.
Hornsby and Carey probably never
will be members of the Cubs, as their
owners decline to dispose of them for
cash. Who the players are that Presi
dent Weeghman hopes to secure for
cash this winter is difficult even to
guess.
Albright to Play Penn;
Nineteen Players Out
Myerstown, Pa., sept. 13. Nineteen
candidates for the red and white foot
ball eleven responded yesterday to
Coach Charley Kelchner's first call for
practice on Albright Field, and this
number, it is expected, will be greatly
increased beftire the end of the week,
inasmuch as the college term has lust
begun and students are still enrolling.
Eight of last year's varsity team have
been lost to Albright. Peter Gamher,
of Lebanon, is captain. Albright's
first game will be with the Indians on
Saturday, September 29. at Carlisle.
The game, which had originally been
scheduled with Pennsylvania on Sep
tember 22, has been transferred to Oc
tober 3 on Franklin Field.

World Series High Spots
They come and go—these world series—faster than one cares to think
they do.
It doesn't seem that more than a very few years have passed since we
saw Christy Mathewson shut out the Athletics for 27 innings. But that was
twelve campaigns ago, back in the fall of 1905, and of the young stars just
entering baseball then only one or two remain.
We can recall no world series in the past that was not arrayed with any
number of interesting Incidents, here and there, but out of the lot there are
four high spots which in some way seem to loom above the rest.
These four high spots embrace pitching, batting, the best Individual
play and the best all-around play for the entire series.
Pitching
World series may go to indefinite lengths but no man can ever hope
to live long enough to see Mathewson's work in 1905 surpassed, or even tied.
That three-game exhibition still remains as the top liner. It was not so
much the fact that Matty worked twenty-seven runless innings—but rather
the additional point that for those twenty-seven innings he held a hard hit
ting ball club so completely at his mercy that you couldn't figure how they
could ever score, no matter how many games were played.
The Athletics were unable' to get a rally started, much less under way.
Tlic Batting Top
Despite Frank Baker's two successive home runs against the Giants
in 1911, the most effective batting that we recall witnessing belonged to
Corporal Hank Gowdy, then the premier catcher of the Boston Braves.
This was the series where the Braves overwhelmed the Mackmen in
1914. In this four game series Gowdy hit for .545, a record for complete
play. In two of the games he was purposely passed so often that he hed
but little chance to show. But in two of the others he hit for a home run.
two triples, three doubles and a single—six hits good for seventeen bases!
That mark is another that will stand for a number of drifting years. Lank
Hank was n.o mighty slugger through the year but'upon that one week'B
occasion he arose to dizzy heights that no one has yet seen.
The One Star Piny
The greatest single play we ever saw in a world series developed in the
final game of the 1912 series wherein the Red Sox finally overthrew the
Giants.
Seven games had been played, with three victories for each and one
draw. Mathewson was facing Bedient at the time and in. the fifth inning the
Giants were leading. 1 to 0.
Coming up in his period Larry Doyle crashed into one of Bedlent's
curves for the mightiest wallop of the series. The drive started far out
over Harry Hooper's head in right. The Red Sox star raced back until he
came against the wire fence bordering the field of play.
As Hooper came within a stride of the fence he saw the ball was going
to clear the barricade for a home run. He not only had to leap high for
the catch, but the jump, as Speaker explains it, threw him out of position
and he was forced to reach with his bare hand over the wire for the catch.
This play cost the Giants the series. "It was," says Tris Speaker who
had run up to within a few yards of the catch, "the greatest single play I
ever saw or ever hope to see. With Hooper thrown out of position at the
time it was physlcully impossible for him to reach that ball. Yet he did.
How I will never know. I've never seen an outfield catch before or after
that even approached it."
And to add to its general effect it saved and won the longest world
scries ever played under the new order.
The Star AH-Arouniler
The best all-around display of world series baseball that we have seen
belongs to Charles Lincoln Herzog in the same Red Sox-Giants series.
On the offense in that same game Herzog had a batting average of .400.
He scored six runs himself and drove in five more, being responsible for
eleven runs.
on defense around third he accepted eleven, put-outs and sixteen as
sists. twenty-seven, chances without an error. Of these sixteen assists at least
six were on the hardest variety of plays.
Some one else may have beaten this combination on attack and defense,
but if so we don't recall fche detail just now.
That was Herzog's last world series—up to the coming event. After a
five year lapse in which he has played third, short and second, he facea
his next test at second base.
As a world series type he has few equals and no superiors as he has
the knack of playing his best ball under the hardest and heaviest pressure.
As Eddie Collins is another such type—a fine money player—the duel
between this pair will be one of the leading features along the line of march.
WRIGHT CHALLENGES FISH
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY
SPECIAL FEATURE TOMORROW
By PETER P. CARNEY
Editor National Sport* Syndicate
Philadelphia. Sept. 13.—Frank S.
Wright, of BufLalo, N. Y„ has chal
lenged George N. Fish, holder, of
Lyndonville, N. Y., to shoot for the \
18 yards championship challenge
trophy, and subject to the terms
under which the trophy Is given it
will Jje placed in open competition
at the shoot of the Westy Hogans at i
Atlantic City, N. J., to-morrow.
Mr. Fish won the championship |
trophy last fall at the Westy Hogans ;
shoot by breaking SrO targets out of
100. The targets are thrown 60 yards]
in this competition. Seventy shooters
participated in the last event. When
a contest for this trophy is arranged
by reason of challenge or otherwise'
the event becomes an open compe
tition and all amateurs are eligible
to compete for the trophy and purse.
The entrance fee is $10; $8 of this
goes to the purse to be distributed
among the high guns, $1 to the club
holding the shoot, to pay for the tar
gets, and $1 to the accumulation
purse.
Those Who Shoot
When the accumulation purse
reaches S2OO the cup is placed in
competition and those who have won
the trophy t>ince the previous shoot- j
off for the accumulation purse—i
which was in 1913—can enter the
competition for the S2OO and the |
trophy. At the present time the!
accumulation purse amounts to I
$174.65 and the shoot next Friday!
will bring it up to the S2OO mark, j
It isn't likely that the additional
event for the purse and the trophy
will be held this week, as the Hogans j
program can hardly stand the crowd- i
ing in of another event. I

History of the Trophy
| The history of this trophy is in- '

lin competition in Baltimore, Md.
j Live bird shooting was then in its
zenith. Smokeless powder made in
.America was just becoming a reality,
as up to that time American sports
men had had to depend on the mak
ers abroad for their smokeless pow
der. And last, but not least, Fred
Gilbert, most expert of all clay target
breakers of all time, was ushered
into the limelight by winning the
famous live bird trophy at Baltimore
the first time it was placed in compe
tition. Gilbert was young and un
known, and what he did that day In
October twenty-two years ago is still
the talk of trapshooters, old and
young.
In succeeding years the trophy
changed hands many times and Gil
i bert, Crosby, Heittes, the Elliotts,
Marshall and others claimed it for a
I time. When live bird shooting passed
! on the trophy was removed from
competition and later on put up as a

Official Averages of Steel ton Baseball Club, 1917
With a record of twenty-one games won and eight lost, the Steel
ton team of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation League had a successful
season. Averages show good work by the playerß. It was a team
built up frdm the start and not strengthened by the addition of league
stars. The Steelton team remained i ntact throughout the season.
McCord, who played in but four games, had a batting average of
.400. The real hitter on the team was Zellers, the pitcher and outfielder,
who wound up with .368. "Shorty" Miller was a close second with .360.

ALLOW TIME TO
MAKE BIG JUMP
World's Scries Teams to Get
One Rest Day For
Travel
Chicago, Sept. 13.—A day will
elapse between the world's series
games if played in New York and
Chicago, President Johnson, of the
American League announced last
night. The railroads offered a twen
ty-hour schedule, which would per
mit games to be played in either citv
the following day, but President
Johnson decided the risk of a delay
of the special train*. thus causing a
rearrangement of the series, was too
great.
Xo Story Writing
Players in the Anibrican League
will be prohibited from writing so
called "expert" newspaper stories on
the series, Johnson said. This rul
ing not only applies to members of
the c lub participating in the games,
but to players on otliets teams in
the league whose services as*writprs
have been sought.
The American 'League executive
termed the offer of H. H. Frazee,
president of the Boston club, who
said he would give each member of
the team a SI,OOO bonus, if it won
the American League pennant, a
"cheap piece of theatrical play."
The offer, President Johnson said,
was after Boston apparently had no
chance of overcoming Chicago's lead.
"Frazee would drop dead is he had
to pay It," Johnson said.
SEPTEMBER 13, 1917.
WELLY'S jf CORNER
When Manager Luigc.rd of the
Harrlsburg Division team of the
Philadelphia and Reading League
withdrew his team from the field
yesterday he acted wisely, according
to the general belief. There has been
no baseball team In this city or vi
cinity that played a cleaner game
than the Rutherford contingent.
They took raw treatment in a num
ber of towns and lost games because
they acted like real sportsmen, but
when an umpire is so deliberate lm
his unfairness, as was reported yes-1
terday, the only thing to do was to:
quit.
In both the Reading and Penn-
I sylvanla Railroad Leagues there has
been trouble with the umpires all
season. In planning for next sea
son every effort possible should be
made to secure competent neutral
men.- An umpire who does not know
any better may be excused some
times, but deliberate attempts to take
a game from another team by play
"ing favoritism hurts baseball.
