hitting the bail at the right time.
Harrisburg Division lost to Sha

Rutherford representatives could not
hit at the right time and played a

Athletic Meet a Frost;
Promoters Are Losers
St. Louis does not take very enthu
siastically to amateur athletics, even
of the highest class. The official re
turns for the three days of the Ama
teur Athletic Union championships
show that but $874.75 was taken at
the gate for paid admissions to see
the sports, although some of the best
nthletes in America participated in
the contests.
As a result the underwriters of the
meet will suffer a loss of about J4.00P
they having deposited a guarantee of ]
, $6,000 for the meeting, while the Red
Cross, which was to have been the
Wneflciary. will receive nothing. The
attendance at the games was the
smallest in the history of the cham
pionship games of the Amateur Ath
letic Union, but 300 people turning
out for the Junior games and but 200
more for the all-round games on the
last day, \
STARS IN WORLD'S SERIES
WHO EXPECT TO FIGURE;
THEIR BASE
By W. R. II OFFER
The world's record for effec
tive pitching ia held by a left
hander who looks like a prep
school kid and acts like a sea
soned vetaran in the pinches. He
has one of the best fast balls
that ever busted over the plate,
superb control, which it took
three years to acquire, and a
record of allowing only .90 earn
ed runs in 140 innings of big
league pitching.
Hia name is Schupp.
He was a big factor in winning
the pennant for the Giants this
year and a great aid in their
world's record of 26 straight
wins. If past performances or
dope indicate anything at all,
this nervy sensational left hand
er of McGraw's ought to make
world's series history when the
Giants and White Sox tear into
each other in the big scrap.
Schupp is a good example of
what persistency can do for a
player. Up to two years ago his
big fault was wildness. In the
first game he ever pitched for
money he gave eight passes. This
was in Louisvillfe as a semipro.
In 1912, in 365 innings with De
catur, he gave 148 passes. Last
year, through sheer persistency,
he acquired such good control
that he gave only 3 7 passes ajl
seasop In 140 innings.
Ferd was born in Louisville,
Ky„ January 18, 1892. He learn
ed the game in his home town
and first ifttracted attention as a
pitcher when he played semi
pro ball there. At that time,
in spite of all his wildness, the
amount of sheer stuff he toted
attracted attention and the Cin
clnnai Reds got him but released
him without even seeing him.
Decatuf 1 of the Three I League
gave him his first real taste of
"pro" baseball and he won 22
games for them when only 20
years old.
The Giants signed Schupp in
1913 and kept him on the bench
in the McGraw school of bench
squatters until 1915, when Ferd
pitched 55 innings and proved as
wild as a hawk. Last year, how
ever. this young southerner
suddenly blazed forth in sensa
tional style and set a world's
record for scoreless twirling.
Series fans who have never
seen Schupp will get a sijrprise.
He's the youngest looking twir
ler in the game and doesn't look
nearly as formidable as his rec
ord. '
He is brilliant, nervy, cool, is
never bothered when being hit
and holds runners to first base
better than any pitcher in his
league.
Schupp is the more brilliant and Cicotte the more experienced.
Schupp has as much "stuff" as any pitcher in the game. Cicotte Is
one of the foxiest, cagiest boxmen who ever worked.

THE DREAM CITY
(This city has increased its population by 9,000,000 fighting men in the
three years of the war).
Here still the withered lilies lie
Upon each breast;
And over {*ll a peaceful sky.
In azure dressed;
No storm of night that hurries by
May leave the whisper of a sigli,
No echo of the battle cry
May break their re^t.
The big guns roar above them still,
By day and night;
The rod Yames Yash by dune and hill
In endless blight;
But as the gray-dusk shadows fill
Their Quiet Town, at twilight's chill,
They sleep, as all Worn children will,
On through the fight.
Here still the many come to weep,
To kn.eel and pray;
To cry to God in anguish deep
For life's lost day;
Yet, who would wake them from their sleep,
Would call them back where life's storms sweep,
Dream-dwellers, where the grasses creep,
Across the way?
THE TWELVE-YEAR GAP
Twelve or thirteen years ago we recall the humor in many a fight story,
relating the way Jack Munroe backed away from Jim Jeffries, only to fail
in less than a round.
Munroe's name was then handed around as one of the greatest of all
the jokes. He \vas held to be part quitter and part dub. There were hard
ly enough words to complete the scorn spun around his name.
Over twelve years later we come .upon his description of an attack
made on German trenches by the Princess Pats of Canada.
"For the most part these things were done with a desperate lack of
words, except that some men rushed up cursing; but in their hearts they
were praying, innocent of all blasphemy; 1 think all growled, as savage
dogs do.
"Big Jack Munroe, the Montana heavyweight, was terrible in his
wrath. Even. Jeffries, whom he had once fought, would have quailed
here. He swung the heavy double-bitted axe of a pioneer so that it sang,
twirling it overhead between bursts of use, seeking whom he might
devour."
Time has a Subtle way of upsetting things and shifting opinions. As
between Munroe. the dub and the other heavyweights, who were cham
pions, who has the call in. popular esteem?

Clerks' Athletic Association
Celebrates With Field Day
and Banquet at Lancaster
Baseball with the Lucknow Clerks
Athletic Association closed Saturday
with a big celebration. With eighty
five members this association cele
brated another championship, with
a banquet at Rossmere Hotel, Lan
caster. Previous to the big feast a
field day program was observed. The
first event was a baseball game be
tween the Blue and Gold teams.
The Gold team won by a score of 7
to 5. A fast tfiple p!ay in the ninth
inning shut off chances for the Blues
to score. Field events followed.
Wirtnerß and prizes follow:

tin O. Weaver, the Clerks' third Back

H. G. Seibert, jewler.
Fungo hitting, won by Frank 8.
Marshall, manager and first sacker
of the Clerks', prize. French tie, con
tributed by the New Store of Wil
liam Strouse,
, Distance tnrow, won by Samuel A.
Thirteen yea?s ago an under
vsized twenty-year-old kid pitch
ed his first game of professional
ball for Calumet, Mich. He had
unlimited irervo, a bush league
and a freak delivery.
He copped this first start, al
lowing six hits and fanning
eleven batters.
This youngster was Eddie Ci
cotte and the freak delivery was
the afterward famous kunckle
ball.
To-day, thirteen years later,
this same right hander is the
most discussed twirler In the
game. He is still using a freak
delivery but the scribes and bugs
call it the "shine" ball and the
"sailor." Eddie Is the ace of
the Chicago White Sox hurling
staff and the hope of the south
side fans on the brink of what
promises to be the most hectic
world series over staged.
In 1904, when a kid, Ed was
advised to quit the game and try
driving a wagon or something.
They said he was too small to be
a successful pitcher (he weighs
less than 150 lt)s.).
Eight years later the Boston
Red Sox let him go and baseball
mcfi said he was through, with
a dead soup-bone and the end
of his big league career in sight.
Now, in 1917, we find him cop
ping over twenty-five games at
thirty-three years of age and the
leading gunner of his league!
"Shine ball" Eddie was born
in Detroit, Mich., June 19, 1884,
of French extraction. He began
playing ball in the grammar
schools, starting as an infielder.
His minor league experience was
gained witfi Calumet of the
Northern Copper League; Au
gusta, South Atlantic League;
Indianapolis, American Associa
tion, and Des Moin.es and Lin
coln, of the Western League.
The Boston Americans snagged
him in 1908 and he pitched for
the bean-eating crew until 1912,
when Chicago bought him.
Eddie had an earned run av
erage of 5.88 with Augusta 1n
1905 and allowed only 1.61
earned runs per game with Chi
cago in 1913.
In build he is stocky, being
five feet nine inches tall and
weighing about 170 lbs.; he is a
pleasant mannered, good look
ing chap and packs a wise old
noodle under his cap. His craft
and ingenuity have kept him in
the Big Top when according to
all dope and precedent he ought
to be In the baseball boneyard.
Without doubt Cicotte is the
biggest single factor in copping
this year's flag for Chicago and
is one of the most remarkable
pitchers of all time.

Judge Kunkel Raps
• Firm Which Tries to
Have Juror? Excused
Judge Kunkel this .morning rap
ped the superintendent of a Millers
burg shoe factory because the fac
tory official wrote a personal letter
to the judges, asking to have a grand
juror excused, saying that the juror's
services are need at the factory
which has a government contract.
The Judge said he don't want peo
ple writing to him, "about pending
court matters; saying it is their duty
to appear in court—open and above
board—where the public may see and
hear. Also the court said, in sub
stance, that when people do write to
the judges and go around the bush
to present matters or make requests
there is, in the court opinion, the
liability of the impression getting
out that such matters are not regu
lar. "And they are neither regular
nor proper," commented the Judges
"Judges who permit persons to ad
dress them In matters that other
wiise ought to be presented in open
court are *doing what we consider, a
very improper thing. If anyone has
any business with the court they
must present it in open court and
within the hearing of the public. Let
that be understood. Judge Kunkel
lidded that matter that are proper
very easily can be presented In court
and if they are not proper they
should not be offered to any one.

Washington, Sept. 2 4.—Food Ad
ministrator Hoover appealed to the
American people last night to reduce
their consumption of sweets to leavd

months entirely without sugar.
Complimentary Votes Are
Cast For Men Not Eligible
Many complimentary votes were!
cast at the primaries last week oil
over the county for favored lawyers
and laymen for judge of the Dau
phin county courts. Some of the
votes evidently were cast in a joke
because the persons whose names
were written on the ballots in those
cases are not quallQed to hold the
judgeship.
In Elizabethville half a dozen
names were written on the ballots in- 1
eluding: Herbert Weaver, C. W. Mat
ter, James E. Lentz, laymen; also
John E. Fox and L. M. Neiffer, at
torneys. The names of W. Austin
Carter, John A. Herman, Eugene
Cohen and John Fox Weiss, lawyers,
also were written on some ballots.
County Commissioner Cumbler got
one vote in Middletown for judge and
George A. Herring, school board can
didate, "got one in the city.

Phillies Win Two More;
Alexander Is Big Star
Chicago, Sept. 24.—Phillies kept on
going here yesterday, taking a dou
ble header from the Cubs, 4 to 1 and
11 to 4. It made five victories here
for the visitors in three days. The
Chicago fans were glad to see Pat
Moran's team leave town to-night.
Fred Luderus did some great hit
ting during the warm afternoon, but
so did nearly all the rest of the
Phillies.
Grover Alexander was almost the
whole show in the opener. He is In
tent on winning thirty games this
season and made two of the required
few here this series. His victory
was clean-cut and decisive. After the
fittK he was never in danger. It was
Alexander's twenty-ninth victory,
i His mates batted and fielded bril
liantly behind him. I.uderus and
Evers were especially brilliant on the
attack. Jackies from the Great Lake
Station had their band out and played
between innings.
