10 GETTYSBURG STARTS DRIVE FOR ANNUAL GAME HERE WITH BUCKNELL ELEVEN MINOR MOGULS MEET TO CHANGE BASEBALL MAP; MAY SUSPEND NEXT YEAR Louisville, Nov. 13.—What promises, to be the most important meeting: of the National Association of Profes-1 sional Baseball Leagues in the his-: tory of the game opened here to-day j for three days' sessions.

TUESDAY EVENING, ponded early in July. The Three 1 I.eague, which had weathered all kinds of conditions for seventeen years, was obliged to suspend on July S. The Northwestern League held on for a week longer and the Central Association managed to con tinue until August 7. The Western League Was forced to change' its alignment and split Its season in July to stir up new injer est. Even the American Association began to slash expenses early in the season because of the heavy losses due to postponements, resulting from unseasonable weather conditions. CloKed Season Presidents of several minor leagues in the middle west are whole-heart edly in favor of putting baseball on the for a year and possibly two. They favor releasing all play ers and starting anew at the close of the war on a less expensive oper ating basis. Continuation of present salaries of minor league players, they contend, is out of the question. The unsettled conditions in the minors, however, are not entirely due to the war in the league, in the opinion of Harry W. Stahlhefer. president of the Central League. He believes the small, inexpensive motorcar has seri ously cut down the attendance in the smaller cities. "From my study of the situation. 1 have concluded that the factory worker who in former years spent a quarter or fifty cents for a seat In a baseball park on Sunday has bought a small automobile which takes his spare money. We usually counted on these patrons for regular Sunday business. But now, instead of going to a ball game, he takes his family for a ride in the country. And at present-day prices for necessities, after a fellow gets through buying motor supplies, he lias nothing left tc lavish on baseball. "Golf also is a contributing cause. Men who used to patronize baseball in Evansville, Ind., my home, are tak ing exercise themselves instead of watching ballplayers get it." KITCHEN TRAILER PRESENTED Lykens, Pa., Nov. 13.—The local Red Cross auxiliary has presented a kitchen trailer to the Red Cross in France. A plate on the trailer will carry the inscription, "Presented by Lykens Red Cross Auxiliary, Oc tober 1, 1917." "THE BIBLE DEVIL" Enola, Pa., Nov. 13.—The Rev. Dr. H. R. Bender, pastor of the Fifth Street Methodist Church at Harris burg. will deliver a lecture entitled, "The Bible Devil." in the local Meth odist Church this evening. t \ Gettysburg in Shape For Game Here Saturday Gettysburg, Pa., Nov. 13.—The Gettysburg team all came out of the Mount St. Mary's game in good physical condition and re ported last night for a long signal drill. The hard drive starts to day for the game with Bucknell at Harrisburg next Saturday. Coach Leathers spent most of the time in correcting errors which developed in Saturday's play, and in explaining a few new plays wnich He hopes to use against Bucknell on Saturday. The result of the Mount St. Mary's game was gratifying to both coach and play ers. Fisher. Jfoyer and Scheffer, who played the best frames on Saturday, are all in excellent con dition and only did light work last night. Oyler and Thompson, the big tackles, are better than they have been at any time during the season and will be a tower of strength on the line.

A PRAYER PROM THE FIELD (loci grant that in the bitter strife Which all must face who linger here, , Upon the battered Field of Life, Or with the laurel swinging near— Along the world's red tiring line — The battle of the strong and weak —- The fate of all the Fates be mine— I will not show the Yellow Streak. If fortune play me false or fair — If from the shadowland I creep On up the heights—and linger there— Or topple downward to the deep— Or up the rugged path of Fame Where one man falls—another mounts—■ God grant that I play out the game— For there is nothing clese that counts. War has brought on a greater demand for most of the ordinary things of life. But in. its general ramifications, both in and back of the line, it has developed less and still less of a demand for the quitter. In the days that await ahead this is one type of citizen who will be more nnd more out of place. t There is a big difference between overconfidence' and the supreme philosophy which refuses to recognize anything but victory, whatever the cost. THE DUFFER INTERJECTS One day I slice —and then I hook— And then, perchance, next day I top 'em; By sand-tilled pit and purling brook, The strokes pile up and I can't stop 'em; For, as the poet used to sing, Alas, there's always somedamthing One day my tee shots never land; The next, my mashie's out of focus; And when I get these two in hand I turn and putt like hocus-pocus; 'Twas ever thus from childhood's play I've seen my fondest shots decay. This should J>e the one year for post-season football games, where the receipts are turned over to some 1 suitable war fund. The army is sadly in need of athletic equipment. Any football game that could add from $5,000 to $25,000 to this fund is more than worth while. There will be only praise for those elevens contemplating such help. * • Max Carey, the Pirato Mercury, has the National League outclassed as a base runner. Carey leads George Burns, the next in line, by fourteen bases. No others are even close and only a few were able to effect half as many pilfers. As Carey led the N. L. by a big margin last uctuion. he has earned his place at the base-running top by an overwhelming margin. YOU'VE KNOWN HIS I.IKE " He comes with a rap and he leaves with a knock; If he had to boost something the sucker would croak; You're a great little guy—"if it wasn't for thia" And then he comes through a terrible soak; He starts you off right, but he qualifies slims, Before he has finished you are worse than a rat- As if he was trying to slip through a boost— Now what do you know of a mucker like that? A worthy observer writes to suggest that the best backfleld In America ! belongs to Ohio State, led by the redoubtable Chick Hnrlcy. He puts this backfiald contingent above Georgia Tech, Pittsburgh and any others vou may have in mind. Which reminds us again that football game played in Atlanta or Co lumbus between Georgia Tech and Ohio State or a fo:V>;iH game played In Pittsburgh or Atlanta between Pittsburgh University and Georgia Tech could easily add $25,000 to a badiy neeoed Army equipment fund. REVISED AGAIN It's easy enough to be pleasant* When one Isn't lifting his bean; But the man worth while is the one who can smile When He takes four putts to a green. There may be a better football eleven In America than the one Cupe Black is leading down at Newport, but they've got to prove It to Cupe & 'Co. —•' and prove it on the battlefield, where the sailor lineup Is ready to i face all opposition, taking them singly or In groups. While Tris Speaker broke up Ty's record of ten successive years of leadership, a mark of ten years out of eleven starts around the ultimate peak will remain as a fair target for future generations to blaze at. It may be broken, but no citizen now dwelling In this shell-swept world will ever see It done. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH CHANCES EQUAL IN BIG BATTLE; GRID CLASSIC Local followers of football who] witness the gridiron classic on Island I ■ Park Saturday between the Gettys burg College eleven and the Bucknell [ College team will not only see two well-coached aggregations locked in desperate struggle, but will see twc j elevens evenly matched, with the ad- ] ventage on neither side. The showing of the Gettysburgians I against Mount St. Mary's on Saturday was most encouraging to the Battle l!eld supporters. The soldiers are now at the top of their game and will present the strongest team that has represented them this year on ' the gridiron. The defense developed 1 by Coach Leathers will match the' Bucknell line of offense and the backs of the up-river institution, men i of experience, will tind the first and { second lines of defense of the Bat- j tlefleld boys difficult to penetrate, i The Gettysburg battleline has devel oped into one of those old-time fighting defensive teams that will not permit themselves to be beaten. I It is a team that will outlast its < rival because in addition to having defensive ability, it has unlimited I courage and flglxt. Bucknell n Winner The Syracuse-Bucknell game does ] not give any indication of the real | strength of the Lewisburg eleven j as at least a half dozen of Coach j Johnston's best men were on the ; sidelines, who wene spared for the ] ccntest with Gettysburg on Satur- j day. The Bucknell aggregation is a machine which moves about two or I three men —Captain Newcombe, Kos-1 tos and Waddell —who anp the im- j portant cogs of the combination. ; Although these players are the nu- I cleus of the Lewisburg team, still j they are surrounded by eight other men, each of whom fits into the ma- j chine as cogs.

There was no scrimmage last night, but the var sity worked hard in perfecting the plays. Last year Gettysburg de feated Bucknell for the first time in many years, andjthe team Is de termined to wipe out the stigma. The only man out of the game at present la Lewis, the speedy back, who has an injured hand. There will be a special train, as usual, and several hundred are expected to accompany the team to the capital city on Saturday. of Gettysburg will have to show some real class. No Price Increase The management has decided not to increase tne price of admission over that of last year to this football classic on Saturday afternoon and will Include in the seventy-live cents the war ta>x. This has been done be cause the local management has felt that some recognition of the local fans' support of this annual contest should be given and this is the man ner determined upon by them to *show this appreciation. So the price of admission has practically been ji educed this year, inasmuch as the general admission of last year will include the war tax of this year, i To accommodate the increased de- I rand for reserved seats, the man- I agement has decided to place the j first seats on sale at Messersmlth's store, 212 Market street, at noon to | morrow. They have also arranged i to sell general admission at the same j place Saturday morning. Star Player* In Picture I In the above layout six of Getty s i burg's stars are pictured.

Jack Britton Wins Over Johnny Tillman Last Night Philadelphia, Nov. 13.—Jack Brit ton, the Chicago welterweight, easily earned the verdict over Johnny Till man, of Minneapolis, in six rounds at the Olympla A. A. ! After the first two rounds, Britton j experienced little difficulty, and easily outboxed his strong opponent. As the bout progressed the crowd j sensed the fact that Britton was not j extending himself to the utmost, and ! he was roundly hooted. The fact that Britton to-night is | scheduled to liox in Buffalo no doubt j accounts for his defensive tactics. In the semiwind-up, Harry Tracey | and Young Mahoney, of Hazleton, ■ boxed a hard draw. Tracey dropped Mahoney for a second in the first | round.

Manager Dan Shay Is on Trial For Murder Indianapolis, Intl., Nov. 13.—Dan Shay, former manager of the Mil waukee American Association Base ball Club, charged with the murder of a negro waiter here May 3, will rely o# a plea ol' self-defense, it was said yesterday,' when his trial started. When court adjourned at noon not a juror had been accepted finally by either side. According to testimony given at the Coroner's inquest, Shay and a young wfcman entered a local cafe late at night. It was deserted ex cept for the cashier and a few waiters. There was some kind of a quarrel, all witnesses said, and Shay got up, pulled a revolver' from his pocket and shot the negro waiter. After the waiter was shot, one wit ness said, he attacked Shay and knocked htm down, The quarrel, it was said, was about the amount of sugar in a bowl. The young woman with Shay ran at the start of the quarrel, going out through the kitchen to the cafe. She was not found for several days. She said she did not know much about what#occurred after the first few words were spoken between the men, as she was running when the shoot ing occurred. „ ARROW COLLAR Q°r a** CONSULT OS TO-DAY.
