TUESDAY EVENING,
NO GAME FOR
CENTRAL HIGH
Baltimore Cancels Contest
Scheduled For Saturday;
Reserves at Carlisle
Central will be without a game for
Saturday unless Manager Rinken
bach is successful in arranging a
contest with some college reserve.
Central was scheduled for a journey
to Baltimore where they were to play
the strong Baltimore College eleven.
Manager Rinkenbach received a let
ter from the.. Baltimore management
stating that they could not get a field
on Saturday and would therefore be
forced to cancel their engagement.
The announcement of this news
disappointed the boys very much as it
was to bo the biggest trip of the sea
son. The Central management is try
ing hard to arrange a game with
some good college reserve team away
from home.
Saturday the High School Reserves
will go to Carlisle where they play
the Carlisle High School. The High
School scrubb have been giving the
varsity some hard scrimmages dur
ing the past week and they are look
ing toward next Saturday with much
confidence. Assistant Manager Ross
Hoffman is responsible for this game.
Hoffman is trying to arrange several
more games for the scrubs. One
game will probably be played with
the Steelton scrubs at Steelton. The
Reserves are: Wingeard, Smith,
Kluss, Bolan, Slmonton, Nissley, Mc-
Clintock, I.e van, Comptpn, Butler,
Fiest, Stall, Hoffman, McCaleb and
Neffe.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTION TO
ALL FOOTBALL
RULE INTERPRETATIONS
While to some football coaches
new rules appear to be of a minor
character, according to rule makers
they are of vital importance. In
many football games to date, it has
been shown that some coaches have
misinterpreted the meaning of
the changes, and have decided to
continue according to their personal
views.
This has occasioned frequent dis
sensions and delays during games.
Officials do not agree on some of the
rules. In order that all games may
be properly conducted, the following
special circular has been Issued,
copies came to local coaches last
week
"The annual football interpreta
tion meeting was held at the Hotel
Biltmore, Saturday, September 29,
1917. The meeting was called to
order by Mr. Camp at 8:30 p. m.
"Mr. Camp spoke briefly on the
absence of Dr. Babbitt in connection
with field service in France.
"The question of football officials
acting for Army and Navy service
teams was brought up by the chair
man. It was suggested by him that
officials give their services gratis, on
payment of expenses. There was no
dissenting opinion.
"The question of giving informa
tion in regard to possible coaches for
the Service teams was also discussed.
The chairman requested that those
present forward names of coaching
possibilities to him.

DI B AND DUFFER PIiAYERS
I pray there be, before I die,
line day of sun and cloudless sky,
And windless, with no lobs blown short,
or wafted sidewise out of court.
And may my doubles partner be
>n<s who will scorn to snort at me
For n.etted drive or foozled serve.
And who won't ever lose his nerve. •
May every serve of mine be placed
And my opponents' sometimes aced.
I —Nate Salsbury, In The Chicago Post.
I pray there come, before 1 lie
Beneath some divot, bye and bye,
A perfect day that shall be mate
To that one just arranged by Nate,
Where I may flit from tee to tee
And never get worse than a 3;
Where I may flit from tee to tee
A good 300 yards or so,
An.d here and there with festive swat
I'd like to hole my brassie shot.
Give me one day when I can spin
My mashie shots dead to the pin,
And if by,chance I don't get dea'd
To sink long, curling*puts instead.
And when at last my score is Sputf
\ And I have copped my 61.
If it should be a dream, O then
Don't ever wake me up again!
THE NEW NEWPORT
War has at last put the New in Newport. In the old days when tlii3
Social Citadel wasn't holding a tennis championship it was the Metropolis
of Effeteness.
Now, with the Naval Reserve, they have a football team at Newport.
Imagine a Newport football eleven of ten years ago! To-day's Newport
eleven, is captained by Cupid Black, one of Yale's most aggressive leaders.
The other guard is Bed Gennert, of Princeton. Chuck Barrett, of Cornell,
is at quarter. Callahan, of Yale, and De Vitalis, of Brown, are two of the
tackles.
As we understand it, they have a fine Naval Reserve eleven at the
Great Lakes.
As the Army and Navy are both in need of athletic equipment, what
about holding a meeting between the two sections, either in Chicago or
New York? If $15,000 or $20,000 would help, either amount could be
raised with ease from such a contest.
NO MORE
Hans Wagner dreamed this late season of one more .200 years. For his
first thirty games the Flying Dutchman., now forty-four years old, main
tained a mark of .320.
He stuck grimly to the task, but soon began to drift back, until at last
he realized that his .300 days were gone forever.
He finally finished with the mark of .264 for seventy-four games, a 23-
point (Jrop from last season.
Even at that, .26 4 is not to be scorned. It is 7 points above the club
batting average of the Gian.ts, pennant winners In their circuit. There
were three times as many who batted under Wagner as there were men
who batted above him in the total count.
TIIE WINNING HIT
A Liberty Bond is a hit;
A Liberty Bond Is a run:
So come on through in the nation's pinch
For that's how the game is won.
L. H. H. —Chick Evans and Francis Ouimet have only met in one
match. This clash came at Detroit in 1915, in the East-West curtain
raiser. Chick was 3 up and 3 to go, but Ouimet came bounding on at top
speed, squared the match and wbn at the nineteenth hole.
RECORDS THAT ARE RECORDS
Dear Sir: A record of .300, or .340, or .380, at bat is nil very well, [t
Is not to be despised. It has its place. But, as a record, how does it com
pare with the record of having brought down twelve, or eighteen, or
thirty-five German machines? About as 1 to 500? 8. L. F.
Stuffy Mclnnls was the sole member of the old Mackian order to finish
'above .300 this season. Collins and Baker finished below .290. Strunk
dropped around to .280. while Jack Barry skidded far down un.der .210.
Stuffy barely finished with his head over the top. at .303, but for all that
he was the sole .200 survivor of the game's greatest infield.

Cheser County Is Report
Coatesville, Pa., Oct. 23—Chester
county sportsmen report fair bags
for tlie opening of the squirrel sea
son, "likewise the quail. Sportsmen,
however, assign some reasons for the
opening day not being as good as
former years in Chester county be
cause of the scarcity of nuts, and
one hunter declares that squirrels,
| particularly the female variety, had
| young in the nests, ancj the day be
in* a blustery one, they declined to
leave their haunts.
Hunters all over Chester county
have been co-operating with State
Game Protector N. M. Wood, and
they declare th*.t rabbits were never
known to be as plentiful an this sea
son. Quail, too. they say, are more
plentiful, and those that had dogs
and braved the first day were well
satisfied with' the bags of partridges
and woodcock. Chester county is
closed to all kinds of pheasants.
In the spring Game Protector
Wood will distribute 150 pheasants
in Chester. Delaware and Philadel
phia counties in suitable places, and
a goodly numberof quail will also be
liberated, likewise rabbits if they
can be obtained. The game is being
purchased by the State Game Com
mission out of the resident hunters'

Warns Against Chain
Letter Scheme Seeking
Fake War Subscriptions
The I-larrisburg Chamber of Com
merce desires to again warn the pub
lic not to pay any attention to chain
letter schemes urging them to send
small amounts of money, which the
letters claim will be used to support
war charities.
The Chamber of Commerce has in
its possession indisputably proof
from Washington that a chain letter
scheme that is now circulating in
Harrisburg asking for small dona
tions and using the names of a great
national relief organization is fraudu
lent, according to official advice from
Washington. A number of prominent
Harrisburg people have been giving
attention to this particular chain let
ter and sending it on, not knowing
of its lack of worth. The Chamber
of Commerce has advised some of
these men of the false statements
contained In the appeal and they are
attempting to stop the continuation
of this letter as much as possible.
The Chamber of Commerce has In
vestigated a number of chain letter
schemes and has found all of them
to be an Improper appeal for money
which are officially denounced.
The Chamber of Commerce would
appreciate it if parties receiving
chain letter appeals would call up
the Chamber of Commerce at once
and obtain authoritative information.

TECH PREPARES
FOR HARD GAME
Meet Steelton High at
Saturday; Reserves to
Play Early
Tech High school's fiotball eleven
came out of the Altoona game in
good shape, and it is expected that
all of the squad will be in trim for
the big battle with Steelton, sched
uled for the island Saturday after
noon. The contest between the two
first teams will begin at 3.15. The
Reserves of the two schools will be
pitted against each other at 1 30
o'clock.
Last year Tecli won at Steelton by
a 13 to 0 score, while the ganie on
the Island was a 6 to 6 tie. While the
two games this year will be hard, the
Maroon players are confident to
more than breaking even.
Strong Defense
Coach Ryan is fast whipping a
heavy scoring machine into shape
that should make trouble for any
defense that it will go against. Cap
tain Lloyd, Ebner, Wilsbach and
Beck will all need watching.
Beck's right ankle is still sore but
careful attention during the week
will put that member into good
shane. Because of the strength of
both teams one of the largest
to witness the Tech-Steelton game
is likely to be on hand. To win
will give Tech an advantage over
both Central and Steelton. Tech
cheer leaders and the band will lie
out in force.

Middleburg Inn was formerly known
as the Washington I rouse, and two
years ago several temperance work
ers of Middleburg bought the hotel

made a temperance house, but the
temperance workers thought that a

realize from the amount Invested and
so offered the house at public sale.

Cold Doesrit Affect
Atlantic
4§^b
ORDINARY engine-oils just naturally thicken and gum in cold
weather. This slows up your motor, often reducing the gaso
line-mileage as much as five miles to the gallon. There is one sure
way to overcome this gasoline wastage, and that is:
Use Atlantic Polarine religiously in your crankrcase —that, and
nothing else. For Atlantic Polarine is the yearound lubricating oil
that flows freely at zero and all other temperatures. It is of just the
right body to leave a film of oil between all moving parts, with an
absolute minimum of carbon-deposit.
Remember —use Atlantic Polarine exclusively in your crank-case,
especially all through the Fall and Winter months. It is the scientific
, motor-oil for low temperatures—for all cars and conditions. Atlantic
Polarine is one of the Big Four Atlantic Motor Oils, the lubricants
that "Keep Upkeep DOWN."

WELLY'S jf CORNER
Contrary to all predictions football
is making good this season. While
the games to date have shown only
a few promising stars in Collegiate
circles, the season is young and for
mer gridiron heroes who are in the
service of Uncle Sam will be well
represented in the important games.
Failure to secure ahy guarantee
for special trains to this city, other
than those already arranged for, has
prevented arrangements for mid
week and other college games., The
Bucknell-Gettysburg battle Is a cer
tainty and it is going to be some bat
tle. Coach Leo Harris is anxious to
have his Indians from Carlisle play
In Harrisburg, but has been unable
to get other colleges to agree.
Tech and Steelton will be the next
attraction at Island Park. Just now
both teams are working hard behind
closed l 'doors. Steelton is not going
to be caught nappipg and it is un
derstood will have some new things
to offer Saturday. Coach Ryan real
ises that lie will bo up against a
strong team and will have a strong
aggregation on hand.
Every effort should be made on
the part of the local management to
prevent a repetition of Saturday s

Plans For Sending Million
Men to France Now Laid
Washington. Oct. 23. Secretary
McAiloo's statement, made in Amar
illo, Tex., the other day to the effect
that America would have 1,000,000
men at the front in France next
spring;, gives cause for serious con
cern to those who are aware of the
status and importance of the situa
tion. Tliis statement by a cabinet of
ficer confirms the fact which has been
common knowledge in well-informed
circles in Washington for the last
month or two, - namely: that the War
Department actually had laid its
plans for sending 1,000,000 men to
France during the winter.
trouble at Steelton. Real sportsman
ship does not mean fight whenever
some one lacking cimmon decency
makes an ugly remark. It Is hard to
let an Ipsult go by. There should be
a scholastic rule making it compul
sory on the part of local officials to
remove any objectionable spectator
from the Held.
The football season is passing rap
idly. Then will come basketball. The
Harrisburg independents will lie out
stronger than ever this year. Games
are now being booked with leading
teams in various parts of the state.
The scholastic cage game this year
also promises intense rivalry between
Central, Tech, Steelton, Lebanon,
Reading and York.
To date local hunters have not
made encouraging reports regarding
some small game. Squirrels are ulen
tiful and on Saturday and yesterday
hunters brought back the day's
quota. Quail is scarce, or at least
these birds are not in evidence In
large numbers, llarrlsburg sports
men have brought home quail. Perry
county, it is said, has been the best
country this far. However, those
who are in camp may tell more Inter
esting stories. They will not be home
until next week.

Philadelphia Ed Wagond
Philadelphia, Oct. 23.—Eddie Wag
ond, of this city, pulled quite a sur
prise on fight fans at the Olympia
last night when he iput up a great
battle with Bennle Leonard,of Brook
lyn, world's lightweight champion,
staying the six rounds, but after that
Leonard was master of the situation,
took a big lead and won easily.
What thrilled the crowd was the
way Wagond stood toe to toe with
Boqnie in the linal seconds of the last
round and ex-changed blow for blow
with the champion. The speed at
I which the two boys tore into one
t another in the final ten seconds had
| the'crowd on its feet.
