Halifax, N. S., Dec. 14.—With the

The continued cold, however, has
retarded work in the strip of terri

perhaps, before the snow has thawed
sufficiently to enable soldiers and
workmen to drag the ruins for bodies

f NEWS RNI? NOTES OF THE BOY StOUTSS
SCOUT TEAMS TIE
ON THE GRIDIRON
Troops Six and Two Fail to
Score in Championship
Battle
On Wednesday afternoon Troop 6
met'a team from Troop 2 in a game
for the scout championship. The
result was a scoreless tie, neither
team being able to make a touch
down. Both teams made several
trials for field goals, but none were
successful. Troop 6 entered the
game in a weakened condition, due
to the absence of Halfbacks Soult
and Troup and Front Line Men
Heagy, Diener and Rhinesmith.
In all athletic contests hereafter,
Troop 6 will require that on the day
before the contest each troop hand
to local headquarters a lineup and
have the same certified.
On Tuesdav evening, December
18th, the troop will hold a Father
and Son Night. The program for
the affair will include a demonstra
tion of scout craft, a supper pre
pared by the Susquehannock Council
of Camp Fire Girls and addresses by
various scout leaders.
Scouts Diener, Rhinesmith, Black
and Mattson were members of .the
cast of "Out Somewhere," the play
given in the Orpheum Theater last
week for the Roberta Lloyd Disbrow
Sunshine Society.
Scouts Diener and Nye are doing
messenger service for the Red Cross.
Active work has been started on
"De Whlpperwill," the play to be
given by the troop and Camp Fire
Girls some time in January.
Americans to Retain
Former Player Limit;
Training Trips Still On
Chicago, Dee. 14.—Retention of the
26-player limit and continuation of
the usual spring training trips were
decided upon at the closing session
ftf the American League meeting last
night. The clubowners cleared up
these points in preparation for the,
joint meeting witli the National Lea
guers here to-morrow.
Summarized, the important ques
tions to be considered by the sixteen
clubowners of the two leagues arc:
The advisability of reducing the
playing schedule to 140 games.
The advisability of a 164-game
schedule running only live and one
half months.
Devising a method to collect the
Federal war tax.
Settlement of the financial obliga
tions resulting from the Federal
League war.
Suggestions of a new division of
the world series receipts.
Inserting a war clause in the play
ers' contracts to protect the club
owner in the event the player is
called Into the National Army.
President Johnson's announcement
that the SIIO,OOO fund agreed upon
to reimburse backers of Federal
League clubs still remained unpaid
caused a surprise. He said that the
American League was ready to pay
its share —$55,000 —at oifce, but that
the entire issue would lvave to be set
tled by the clubowners of the two
leagues to-morrow. Ii was revealed
that Edward Gwinner, who lost heav
ily in backing the Pittsburgh club
of the Federal League, is to receive
$50,000 of the fund, and .the balance
is to be divided between Harry Sin
clair, whh financed the Newark club,
and the Ward estate of New York,
which supported the Brooklyn Fed
erals.

Motive Power basketball team won
over the Schuylkill Valley Division
Ave, score 15 to 12.
In a quoit match the Harrisburg
tossers were also victorious, walk
ing away with every match in an
easy manner. These contests were
liel<j in the gymnasium of the local
association and attracted a large
crowd in spite of the weather. Un
usual interest is manifested in these
system contests as a trophy goes to
the tlnal winner.
Kaxy Quoit Winner*
In the quoit contests the locals
captured a set of doubles, taking
both games. Pryor and Raflfonberger
were the pitchers for the Philadel

Donald Wren Captain of
Harrisburg Academy Team;
Is Unanimous Choice
The big event of the day at the Har
risburg Academy yesterday was the
election of the football captain for
1918. Donald Wren-was unanimously
elected to this office by the varsity
team. His election was not a sur
prise, as he played a star game all
season and was expected to bt
chosen. He filled the position of half
back throughout the year and during
the latter part of the season called
signals from this position.
Wren will probably hold the posi
tion of forward on the basketball
team this year if he .continues at his
present rate. Wren is also a member
of the school cabinet and is promi
nent in all the Academy activities.
Brookwood Five to Meet
Independents Saturday
The Rockwood Club of Philadel
phia, will be the attraction at Chest
nut Street Auditorium Saturday
night. This is the seventeenth con
secutive season for this club and for
ten years they have been the Inde
pendent champions of Philadelphia
There are three Eastern League stars
on the team. VanOsten last year with-
DeNeri, and Freeland of the Penn
sylvania State League; MacGregor
last year with Jasper, and Ervlng
Thompson last season with DeNeri.
Rockwood has always been a good
attraction at Harrisburg and as their
team is greatly strengthened over last
year's team, the game should be very
thrilling this coming Saturday. The
| usual dance will follow tho game.
Tarsus Cage Team Wins
Over Soldier Aggregation
Tarsus basketball five last night
won over Middletown Aviators Corps
team, score 27 to 15. It was a bril
liant contest. Colks and Lutz were

Camp Hill High Plays

Camp Hill High school will oppose

game of the season between these
teams. This game is expected to bo

of an agreement between the man

Scout Executive J. Howard Ptine is
anxious that all scouts should avail
themselves of this opportunity, not
only to see these instructive pictures

ment be published for the benefit of
scoutmasters:
To All Scoutmasters:
All scouts of Harrlsburg are in

gram to be given at the Y. M. C. A.
building next Friday evening. Scouts
and their scoutmasters are to be the
guests of the boys' division of the

Arch 11. Dinsmore, has stated that
this notice may be considered as suf

be mailed to Mr. Dinsmore at the

master will arrange to have his troop
accept the invitation and attend in
