10 HARRISBURG PROMINENT IN TODAY'S SPORT PROGRAM; BIG SHOOT AT OVERBROOK ILLINOIS LEADS IN HANDICAP Turried in Largest Entry List at Grand American Slioot By PETER P. CARNEY. Editor National Sports Syndicate It is interesting to know where all the shooters hail from who partici pate in the Grand American Trap shooting Tournament. In the recent trapshooing classic there were SOS entrants, of which number 79S went to the firing line. Seven hundred and ninety-eight com petitors is not the greatest number the Grand American ever had— there being 838 in Chicago in 1915 — but it is a wholesome number. No other sport attracts the same num ber of active participants as trap shooting. These men and women 'come from all sections, and they de fray their own expenses. Illinois Leads Illinois, as in 1915 and 1916, had the greatest number of entrants, with 290. Of this number, 12 5 were residents of Chicago. The "Windy City" is the real trapshooting city of the United States. Any city that will turn out 125 entrants for the trap shooting classic is deserving of par ticular mention. There were 211 en trants from Illinois in the Grand American in St. Louis in 1916 and about 300 in Chicago the year pre vious. The States that adjoin Illinois j came through with the next largest' totals. Little Delaware, with five participants, made in reality as good j a showing as Illinois, when the pop ulation of the two States is consid ered. Forty-two States Forty-two States, the District of Columbia and Canada, made entries in the tournament, while six States — i Louisiana. Maine, New Hampshire. , Nevada, New Mexico and Rhode Is- j land—were not represented. The fol- ] lowing table shows the number of entrants from the various States: Illinois, 290: Wisconsin. 76; lowa. 76; Indiana, 63; Ohio, 51; Michigan,! 31; Missouri. 22; Minnesota. 16; Ten-j nessee, 16: Pennsylvania, 15; Mon tana, 12; Kansas, 11; Kentucky, 10; j New York. 10; Texas, 10; Alabama.'

Comiskey Hot After World's Series Scalpers Asks Aid of Public Chicago, 111., Sept. 29. A new drive against scalpers of world's series tickets was launched last night | by Charles A. Comiskey. president of | the Chicago Americans. He es tablished a special department at the , White Sox baseball park, had tele- I phone installed and issued an appeal | requesting the public to communicate any information regarding persons attempting to obtain tickets through mail orders with the intention of having them resold at fabulous prices ; by ticket speculators. "I am earnestly endeavoring to eliminate the scalping of tickets." j Mr. Comiskey said, "and I am seek- | ing the co-operation of the public in this. It is an unnecessary evil, and j should be done away with. Any in- I formation regarding scalping will, be j acted on immediately." The scalpers themselves are defiant | even in the face of the stand taken | by Comiskey, and State's Attorney j Maclay Hoyne, who has threatened prosecution on charge of conspiracy to extort. The scalpers insist they will be able to fill any "reasonable" order for tickets and declare there is ro legal way to stop them. "If a holder of a world's series ticket finds he is unable to attend the game and wants-to sell his ticket to me. I'd like to know how he can be prevented," said one. "These tickets become public prop erty as soon as they are passed out. I have as much right to buy and sell them as Comiskey has. There is a city ordinance against operating on the sidewalk. Officials can prevent that, but that's all they can do." Some of the speculators, who say they will have plenty of seats, de clare they will be able to •■ell them around $25 for the Sunday game, Oc tober 7, if Chicago wins the first , clash of the series on Saturday. Lancaster Races Slow Because of Heavy Track Lancaster. Pa.. Sept. 29.—The get away races at the Lancaster County Fair to-day was not much of a card, owing to the poor condition of the track. A heavy rain made the track exceedingly muddy and it was half a dozen seconds slow. Many horses were drawn owing to the slippery track and the 2.2 2 trotting event scheduled was abandoned. The match race between Roan Hal and Peter Stevens was a slow affair. The horses paced on the outside of the track and neither were pushed, ac counting for the poor time.

ROUSHTOBE SEASON WINNER Leads National Hitters; Amer ican League Stars; Pitch ers Slow Up By Associated Press Chicago. 111., Sept. 29.—With the close of the major league season less than a week away, Ed. Roush. the Cincinnati outfielder, appears to be certain of the National League bat tins championship. Unofficial averages released to-day give Roush, who is hitting .3 43, a 27-point lead over Roger Hornsby, of St. Louis, his nearest rival. Horns by, however, has a lead of three points in total base hitting. Roush, who has made 178 hits, cracked them out for 236 bases. Hornsby drove 161 hits for 239 bases. He has 24 doubles, 15 triples and S home runs to his credit. Members of the New York club, who are getting ready for the world's series battle with Chicago, continue their effective hitting. Benny Kauff is showing the way to his teammates with .311 Burns follows with .300 and Zimmerman is next with .2 97. Burns is firmly in possession of league scoring honors, having counted 101 times. Carey Good Stealer Carey, of Pittsburgh, who is lead ing the base stealers, brought his margin up to 49. Cravath. of Phila delphia, clings to home run honors with 12, and Deal, of Chicago, is top ping the sacrifice hitters with 28. Cincinnati retained the lead in team batting with .263.

Interest is not all confined to football, although the gridiron game leads. There will be I some shooting contests of local in terest, and field and track events in which local athletes hope to shine. Home interest centered in the first game at Island Park. Tech lined up against Mt. C irmel. It was an au spicious opening in weather condi tions and crowd. Both teams went into the game with little practice. The spectators were kept on edge with Tech's cheer crowd and band, t'enernl at Lnncnxter Central opened with Stevens Trade School at Lancaster; and Steeltoli tackled Pottsville High away from heme. A large crowd of football.en thusiast journeyed to Carlisle to wit ness the Indian-Albright game. Much interest was manifested in this con test because eLo Harris, a former coach for Central is in charge of the Indian squad. At Allentown Penn State met the Ambulance Corps team. In the latter line-up is Beck, a former Tech star, who was with Penn State last season; Emanuel, of Gettysburg, also a for mer Tech winner; and Wear, of last season's Tech team. Shoot at Overbronk . ... Joseph Brown, freight trainmaster of the Philadelphia iDvision of the Pennsylvania Railroad, had charge ot a squad of shooters from this city in the Pennsylvania Railroad System meet at Overbrook. The shooting started at 10 o'clock and was sched uled to wind up this afternoon. All divisions were represented. Harris burg shooters represented the East ern Division. In Philadelphia track and field com petition was in order for the annual championship in outdoor sports. Tren ton played Pitcairn for the baseball championship. In attendance at both the field meet and shoot were Super intendent William B. McCaleb and other prominent officials. Indians Schedule Game With Army and Navy Teams Carlisle. Pa., Sept. 29.—Two new games will be on the Carlisle In dian schedule this year according to the arrangements Just completed -Hi' authorities. They are contests with the Army and Navy, the first time that the two have appeared on the Indians' schedule at the same time. The Red Men meet the Navy on Oc tober 20 and the Army on Novem ber 10. It is planned to develop this into a great three-cornered classis 1 between the teams of the three gov ernment institutions. varying from 100 to 1 to even money, but the bulk of it was placed at 5 to 6. Some time ago, when the New York team was nine games in front. Roth stein bet $15,000 against S6OO with Bob Milliard that it would win the pennant and later bet SIO,OOO to SIOO. Incidentally, he lost one wager of SIO,OOO that the Yankees would beat the White Sox, and again incidentally he remarked yesterday that he had made his last baseball bet.

Certain names remain fixed in the I memory of the fans in connection! with specific series long after the: general result and personnel of the! competing clubs have faded from' recollection. The pitching of Christy Mathew-1 son in the series against the Phila-1 delphia Atrflotios in 1904; the heavy; batting of Franklin Baker against | the Giants in the Philadelphia-New York contests of 1911 when he! pounded out two home runs at criti-j cal periods in the play and drove in five runs during the series; cannon-j ading of Hank Gowdy's bat in the! Boston Braves' victory over the Ath- ! letics in the struggle of 1914 when! the Braves' catcher startled the base-j ball world with his terrific hitting! that gave him an average of .545 and an assortment of drives which! consisted of one home run; one l three bagger: three two base hits! and five singles in eleven times at! bat, all made World Series history.' There is a wide field of specu- j lative possibilities among the players I of the Chicago Americans and the! New York Nationals and World' Series heroes may spring from unex pected positions in the coming con tests between these clubs. In addition to Manager McGraw! who has led four teams in the! struggles. Pitcher Tesreau was a member of the Giants team which! figured in chamionship play of 1912 and 1913; Herzog and Fletcher, in-1 fielders, participated in the series of! 1911, 1912 and 1913; Zimmerman' was a member of the Chicago Na-1 tionals when that club met the Phil-i adelphia Athletics in 1910; Catcher' Cliloaso American League Club Yrs. •>ame Pos. -\ge 8.8.

He is a t first-class catcher in all mechanical ways, a cool worker and one of the > gamest of them all. McCarty Is more of a hustler than Rariden, who is a good mechanical catcher without any particular dash or flame. Rariden can hit and handle any pitcher, but he isn't what you'd call an inspiration. With Bill, catching is merely a day's work. He is willing to do I his part of it, and let it go at that. r THE THREE r Schalk is almost certain to catch every game of the series. McCarty „ and Rariden will split the New York assignment, but whether it will be on a 50—50 basis is known only to McGraw. If McCarty is in first class shape he probably will do most of the work, . as he is a better hitter and more aggressive than Rariden is- While Chicago has the advantage with Schalk, there is plenty of ability in McGraw's department, with n,o faint probability that the series will be lost by ragged Work back of the plate. : THE GIANT CHANCE The only way McCarty and Rariden can even up Schalk's greater effect * lveness in a defensive way is to lead him by several strides upon attack. 1 Here McCarty will have a big advantage. The Giant catcher batted over .350 last season, and he was just starting for .300 this year when he ■ cracked a leg. McCarty Is n.ot only a .300 batting type over an extended stretch, but - being an aggressive type w-111 be even more dangerous In a short series, 1 where he Is as liable to drive In a run as any man at the top of the batting order. George Gibson was behind the plate for the Pittsburgh team when that combination played the Detroit Americans in 1909, and Pitcher De maree and Outfielder Burns played with the Giants in the series of 1913 against the Athletics. In sharp con- J trast the White Sox have but two | i players who have participated to j any extent in the baseball classic, j Eddie Collins the Chicago second ' j baseman was a member of Connie ! Mack's famous pennant and World 'Series machine a few years ago and | figured romlnently in the struggles !of 1910-11.13-14. Eddie Murphy ! was also a member of the Athletics i for several years and was a factor jin the series play. Infielder Robert ! Byrne was enrolled with the Pitts ! burgh and Philadelphia Nationals in j 1909 and 1915 when these teams won the right to play, the American | League pennant winners for the ! World's championship. | The White Sox roster includes the ! names of several plays who have; j sprung into baseball prominence! | within the past season or two and ] !it may be from this list there will | ! appear one who by a spectacular, | fielding feet longest hit or brilliant i I piece of base running will gain a | place in the World Series Hall of Fame at a bound. Tnfielder Charley I Risberg and Outfielder Oscar Felsch i have played remarkable baseball I this season and should maintain the ! pace during the coming series. In ! addition the White Sox have many | players of far greater big league ex ! perience, who have never had a I chance to figure in the most im | portant of ail diamond clashes and it would not be surprising if one 1 or more of these men leaped to the fore in the race for World Series i fame. j The following tabulations include a complete list of every player of | both clubs who may be eligible for j the series together with their physi cal and playing statistics; SATURDAY EVENING, WELLY'S jjf CORNER Weather indications to-day were for ideal football weather. While it is not as cool as players would have it. the temperature was favorable t4 inches tall and weighs 165 pounds. He plays smart baseball for his short ma jor league experience and ac cording to Eddie Collins, who knows something about infield ing. he is a real "find." From present indications, Rowland will probably play him at the bat corner, moving Buck Weaver to shortfield, for the series, as McMullin has been outhitting young Risberg, a sen sational fielder, but pretty weak sister at hat, by many points. At any rate, the south side fans are pulling for this "guy who came through in a pinch." Whether McMullin or Buck W eaver gets the series third base as signment. the Giant? will have the e dge here, by a decided margin. Zimmerman has been hitting around .300 all season and is the best field ing third baseman in the game. H e is the "class" of the third Backers. (Copyright. 1917, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.)

It took Heinie Zimmerman ten years to travel from a sand lot club in the Bronx to the Giants' club at the Polo grounds, only a couple of miles distant. But when he Anally arrived, Heinie helped land a world's record of 26 straight wins, a pennant for his club and a bun dle of world's series kale for himself. The great Zim has always wanted to play in New Y'ork but he was obliged to dally two years with the Wilkes-Barre, Pa., club, where he played his lirst "pro" baseball and almost eight years witli the Chicago Cubs be fore realizing his wish. New Y'ork City gave Zim to baseball; and the Bronx, whero he was born, February 10, 1886, and learned the rudiments of the game, believes Zim gave this year's pennant to New York. This Bronx bird is the great est third sacker in the game right now. He has always been a long, hard, timely walloper, a brilliant mechanical fielder and has a wonderful throwing wing. Jimmy Callahan says that Jim mle Collins is the only third sacker he's ever seen who could swing 'em over to first like this Giant does. Heinine's collective batting average for nine consecutive years of major league play is .302 and in 1912 he massaged the old pill for .372. On the bases he is fair, but no speed mer chant. His best base stealing mark was earned last season when he annexed 2 4 satchels. The only real weakness ever exhibited by Zim as a player is a bad case of "temperament." He used to go for the umpires like a ticket scalper after a fan and was known as a hard guy to manage. Since coming to New York, however, he has laid off the umps and McGraw has had absolutely no trouble with him. Heinie is large featured and big jawed and looks and is es sentially aggressive. He is a shade under 6 feet tall, weighs 185 pounds, and is all sinew, bone and muscle. Zim has the requisite huskiness for stopping the hot shot along the third base line and goes after every thing. Next to conversing with um pires, Heinie's chief hobby is golfing. He used to caddy, when a kid and learned the game on the links in New York City. The Giants have a savage hit ter in Zimmerman for the series, one who is apt to crack a game wide open at any time and send a pitcher to the showers.
