It is hinted that the choice lies between O'Neill and "Jack" Hen dricks. If Hendricks is unable to get away from the iron-bound con tract that ties him to the Indian apolis club, the next leader of the Cards may be O'Neill. Branch Rickey makes no bones of the fact that he is considering O'Neill for the berth. The Syracuse pilot is a close friend of the Car dinal boss, and also bears a high recommendation from many well known baseball men, including Pres ident Tener. O'Neill formerly pitched in the I'iaior league and also starred in the Tristate League some years ago. He is a brother of "Steve" O'Neill, the Cleveland catcher.

Makers ' WEDNESDAY EVENING, WOUNDED BUCK THROWS HUNTER; TROPHY IS LOST Chambersburg, Dec. 19. —In. the deer-hunting season, which closed Saturday, probably no sportsman in Pennsylvania had as unique an ex- perience as did Robert Harbaugh, a Bell telephone lineman, of Rouzer ville, Franklin county, in the moun tains near here. He shot at a large buck and it dropped. Intending to bleed the ani mal, he sat on its neck and drew out his hunting knife. Just then the buck moved, arose and like a streak was & , GranXJandJ2ice OoyyrlC&t, It 17. lit* Triton* Association York TribtOMftt An Ail-Time All-Star Team NO. S—SHORTSTOP Here, with possibly one exception, is the easiest pick of the lot. The game has been replete with star shortstops, starting with George Wright in 1875, to Moranville, Weaver and others in 1917. There were Glasscock and Ward, Richardson/Jennings, Long, Davis, Tinker and Barry. But there has been only one Hans Wagner. ONE WAGNER. Wager stands to date, for team worth, as the most valuable ball player that ever lived. A great infielder is of more value than a great outfielder, so in this respect Wagner has even ranged beyond Ty Cobb. Hughey Jennings was a star —a great "hitter, a brilliant infielder and a brainy workman. But even Hughey has to make way before Wagner, a man who for twenty years could average .340 at bat and cover all the ground in sight between third base and the right field bleachers. Wagner is the game's main marvel. At the age of forty-three he was still able to hold his own in big league warfare and to bat well above the average of the day and time. For eighteen years he maintained his place as a .300 hitter, smashing all marks with a wide margin to spare. IN THE FIELD He was as marvelous in the field as at the bat. Floundering, awk ward looking, bow legged, with his vast hands dangling at his side, no one would ever have taken him for any action snap shot of grace. But when it came to killing base hits back of third and back of second, mopping up his side of the field with a deadly certainty, he had no equal. If Wagner had been a .240 hitter he would have been one of the most valuable men of all time through his great defensive value alone. But when to this defensive value was added a .340 batting mark for twenty years, the combination lifts hipi far and away beyond all rivalry and competition. JENNINGS AND LONG Next to Wagner, the battle rests between Hughey Jennings and Herman Long, with Jennings favored. Hughey was a marvel on his own merit, and only the extraordinary worth of a Wagner could have displaced him. For sheer fielding ability none of them has surpassed Long, a shortstop marvej who could move with great s'>eed in any given direction. Both Jen nings and Long were better batsmeu .than most of the shortstops of the present day, Hughey especially being far beyond all of them except Wagner as a swat-maker of repute. Jennings ranged between .330 and .390, his work on attack being one of the big features of his play. • Bill Dahlen was another star, while Joe Tinker's rank is high. But with the entire list considered there is no question but that Wagner stands at TO-MORROW—THE THIRD BASEMAN Action on Schedule to Come Up Next February Chicago, Dec. 19. —American Asso ciation club owners probably will decide at the meeting In February to cut down the playing schedule to 140 games. Reduction of the sched ule was discussed at the annual meeting yesterday and, according to club owners here yesterday, the shorter card was favorably receiv ed. Definite action, however, was de ferred until early in February, when tinal plans for the coming season will be made. The most important action taken at the session yesterday was elimi nation of the so-called spitball and similar deliveries, and the decision to open the season May 1 or 2 three weeks later than usual. Club owners also decided to re duce the player limit from 17 to 16 and to return to the double umpiring system. Instead of contributing $3,000 a year to the association as its share of the expenses, each club hereafter will contribute a percentage of its receipts. oft towards the underbrush with Harbaugh on its back. Has Wild Ride The unwijling rider clung to the animal for about two hundred yards but was thrown off when a limb of a tree struck him on the chin and knocked him unconscious. He lay for some time before re covering, then he hunted for an hour before he found his rifle. Besides receiving minor injuries he lost his hunting knife, his hat and a number of cartridges. The deer, presumably temporarily stunned by the shot, got away and has not been seen since. RIVAL TEAMS TO MEET TONIGHT Hasselt Five Opens College Series With Lebanon Valley. Five Two rival teams will meet this evening at Cathedral hall when the Hassett five and Lebanon Valley College clash for basketball honors. The local team will use fheir strong est lineup, which will probably be El. Sourbier and Houston, forwards; Ed. Sourbier, center, and Bihl and Gough, guards. As this is the opening game of the college season in this city the local boys are hopeful of annexing this game. The attendance prom ises to be a record-breaking one as. the Lebanon Valley boys have a host of followers in this city. Red Attick.s In Lineup The game will start promptly at 8.15 and dancing will follow. A straight admission of twenty-five cents will be charged, which will include war tax. Lebanon Valley will bring a speedy bunch and Captain "Red" Atticks and Walters at forward will prove a formidable pair. "Red" is a well known player in this city, having ap peared here with the college boys for the past two seasons. A big orowd of rooters will accompany the col lege boys to this city. Wilson Approves Sale of Christmas Seals New York, Dec. 21.—rThe cam paign of the National Association lor i the Study and Prevention of Tuber culosis to raise $3,000,000 for tuber culosis work through the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals is indorsed by President Wilson. In a letter to Dr. Charles J. Hatfield, executive secre tary of the association, made public recently, the President says: "I am greatly interested In what you say about the very great increase in the demands made upon the anti tuberculosis agencies of the country as a result or the circumstances of the war. The department of the an ti-tuberculosis movement under the leadership of the National Associa tion for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has been a source of satisfaction to me. At this time when we are called upon to do our utmost to make the lighting forces of the United States the most efficient that human agency can produce, J, cannot too strongly urge upon you and your assistants, as well as upon all the people of the United States, the increasing necessity for pressing still further the progress which has been made in the prevention of tu berculosis and other diseases. "I am in thorough sympathy with the efforts which you are making to raise $3,000,000 from the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals, and I hope that It will bo possible for the people of the country to render support to this cause as generously as they have rendered it to other causes." TELEGHItPB MAGNATES WILL CUT WAR CLAUSE Conlracts Same as in Past For All Players; Less Talk New York, Dec. -19.—-While the matter was not made public at the time, it has been learned that one of the chief topics of discussion at the joint meeting of the National and American League Club owners at Chicago last Friday involved players' contracts. William F. Baker was not present to suggest his the ories as to inserting a wartime clause giving the employer power to reduce salaries, or even to terminate con tracts, in case great business depres sion demanded the most stringent form of economy. There is absolutely no chance for Baker's pet theory being considered for a moment. Baseball contracts as now worded leave reasonable doubt as to their equity. The employer holds the whip hand because of the ten days' notice of release. The player may be discharged on ten days' notice; he cannot quit by giv ing similar warning. The reserve clause, which is the body of the release clause, if classed as an evil, has the character, at lease, of a nec essary evil. Such an Instrument as Baker suggested some weeks ago would be absolutely inequitable in any court of law. It would call for speedy resentment and resurrect quickly the baseball players' fra ternity bugaboo, now almost dead. Too Much Shop Talk The magnates do not intend pub licly to antagonize the profession. [ They realize they have talked too I much shop as it is and have jeopar dized the health of the sport by calamity howling. But they also realize that yndue extravagance must be eliminated if flnal bank ruptcy is to be avoided. Overhead expenses must be trimmed and the profession must bear its share to ward this attainment. The remedy as effected at the joint meeting is simplicity itself. It explains, after a fashion, the un usual precipitation in gigantic base ball deals that astounded the sport ing public during the recent major league meetings. Whatever swap ping is done before the next cam paign is likely to be seen within the next fortnight, for the market will be pretty dead after the new year. This is because of the simple means toward economy taken. From one close to the situation it has been learned that a sort of gentleman's agreement has been countenanced by the sixteen major league club presidents not to tolerate overtures from disgruntled men of other clubs. It is expected there may be many disgruntled athletes soon after the new year when the 1918 documents reach the players, but no heed is to be given them. True Love, Says Writer, Is of Slow Growth True, lasting love is a little slower in starting tan is false love. It is a little more dignified; a little more truthful and puro from the start. It is less disturbed by jealousy and trifling differences. It is more sturdy, though less flamboyant. It is less easily disturbed by frosts of misun derstandings and other disturbances. So much for the beginning of love. The second test of love is time— separation—distance. The passing fascination shows itself in this test —it cannot pass it; it cannot last. Only true love lasts, and that lasts because it reaches down to the bed rock of mutual esteem, and is of durable material; of mutual interests and sympathy it is compounded. When love has passed its uecond test—time—it is usually able to pass its third test, which is altruism, or service. At some time of otlier in life, love always asks: What will you Rive for love? And he that loveth truly an swers: I will give my time, my per sonality, my position, my wealth— all will I give for love. But he that does not love deeply, says: I would keep love, but X do not wish to give up too much for it. Foolish fellow. His fails in its test. He loses his love because he will not pay the price of keeping Jt. The final test of love is its influ ence. True love makes one better. The wrong sort of love is degrading not uplifting. He does not love truly who is not a finer, stronger person ally because of love. Real love is the sun of one's life: it brightens, gladdens, uplifts an<l beautifies.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Cities Are Judged by the Policemen It used to be said that each coun try could be known by the Jews who lived within its borders. In the same way every city can be judged by ihe character of its policemen, writes Hendrik Willen van Loon, in Cen tury Magazine. In Christiania the policeman is a mild and amiable citizen in a rather shiny coat, and none too neat, who stands i/i the middle of_the roadway and tries to maintain some sem blance of order in the democratic muddle of the city's traffic. In Stockholm the policeman is a walking arsenal, with sword and pis tol and a brass helmet, and the ar rest of a disorderly person becomes an act of state. There the police man represents the high authority of a proud country. He fulfills his duty with a stern severity. He is the sym bol of law and established order. Let no one touch these fundaments of a well-regulated commonwealth. In Copenhagen the policeman is neither the happy-go-lucky citizen who patrols the streets of Norway nor is he a creature of resplendent glory like his colleague in Sweden. He strikes a happy medium. In this he is an excellent representative of a land where the art of sensible and peaceful living seems to have been brought to its highest perfection. If only the chauffeurs of the Danish capital would learn how to drive their cars we should not have a sin gle complaint to make against a country where everybody seem? well fed, where beggars are as scarce as very rich people and where the wo men live lip to the bst traditions of the charming china which is made in the royal residence of Denmark.

Sea-Disaster Canard Spread by Enemy Washington, Dec. 21.—The source of the latest crop of unfounded ru mors of disaster to American forces at sea was located recently in Ger man propaganda operating in Spain through Mexico. For days the ru mor has been about that two Amer ican transports and a British ship had been sunk with great loss of life. Officials at once realized that Ger man propaganda was again .it work, but it was not until today that they found the trail. The rumor was carried to the United States from the publication of an alleged dispatch in a newspaper in Guadalejara, Mexico, purporting to come from Spain, saying that two transports with 11,000 men and the superdreadnaught Texas had been sunk and that the American Gov ernment was suppressing the news. Persistent repetition of a story that i a woman spy had been executed in | the United States had caused the I State Department to send an official I denial to American consuls and le ! gations in the European neutral countries. The story originated in Germany and its wide-spread use is regarded as another case of propa ' ganda. The name of the woman was j given as Anna Huitems. Credence ; appeared to have been given to it in j neutral countries.

WEEGHMAN HAS MORE LINES OUT Will Buy More Stars, No Matter How High Cost Will Be 9 Chicago, Dec. 19.—1n his exuber ance over the arrival of Alexander, President Weeghman admitted that he had secured a great bargain in the famous battery, purchasing them for $25,000 less than he had planned to spend. "Before the end of the week 1 hope to announce the acquisition of two of the greatest players in the country," said Mr. Weeghman. Wheat, Stengel. Hornsby, Oroh anil a few other names were inserted into the speech by the guests, but > the keeper of the roll seemed to be hearing, for there was no visible assent to the suggestions. "I can't give you the names now." continued the cheerful prexy, "but I will say that the bank roll is only slightly dented. I went into the New York meeting last fall and made this speech to my fellow magnates in the National I,eague.: More Money to Speml "'I have $250,000 to spend tor ballplayers. If any one of you is in need of money and has some play ers to disosc of, you know where you can come.' " 'lf you will consider a deal for Alexander and Killifer, I will give you live minutes, as I am very busy. Don't waste your time on any other t suggestions.' " 'l'll see you later,' said Baker. He did and he mentioned a price, the next day which was $25,000 less than I stood ready to pay fop the two men. We shook hands on it, and ten days later Baker came on and we closed the transaction in less than two minutes. There, you have the history of the whole deal." Meanest Man on Record Hard to Beat The meanest man on record used to be quoted as the Scotch nobleman who, on finding a farthing and being asked for it by a wretchedly poor old woman, who lived in one of his cottages, replied: "Na, na! Fin' a fardin for yorself, puir body;" but Mark Twain gives somewhere an in stance of an even meaner man than this. "The meanest man I ever knew." said Mark, "lived in Hannibal. He sold his son-in-law the half of a cow and then refused to share the milk with the fellow on the ground that he had only sold him the front half. "The son-in-law was also com pelled to provide all the cow's fod der. Finally the cow butted the old man through a barbed-wire fence and he sued the son-in-law for dam ages." But, joking apart, the meanest man who ever lived happened to be a French millionaire, flattered by all the society papers for his generosity, to whom Dumas the elder, in tem porary financial straits, wrote a pleasant letter, ending with some verses. As a matter of fact, the let ter was a literary gem. The millionaire refused to accom modate Dumas, and that very even ing was entertaining company, when the conversation turned upon the value of autographs. "A letter of Hugo, of Lamartine, of Gautier is worth its weight in gold," said one. "And what of Alexandre Dumas?" asked the millionaire. This one, for example, and lie took Dumas' con lidential letter from his pocket. "1 will give you five louis for it," said the other, and the millionaire actually sold for over 100 francs the letter of Dumas, whom he had re fused to oblige in the morning! Could meanness go farther? Yet even this record of meanness is surprised by the would-be-suicide who sued the man who cut him down and restored him to vitality for the bruises inflicted by bis fall, from the tree on which he had at tempted to hang himself! —Till Bits.

Can't End Luxuries, Vanderlip Asserts Fort Worth, Texas, Dec. 21.—The most that may be expected from a wartime economy campaign is cur tailment of luxuries, not a complete abandonment, said Frank A. Vander lip, national director fit the war-sav ings movement, in an address here. Consequently, he said, business will not be disorganized by even a well developed thrift campaign. "In the first place," said Mr. Van derlip, "this campaign of economy is not going to be a 100 per cent effi cient. There never was a crop ap proaching in value the crop that was produced this year, $21,000,000,- 000, against $9,000,000,000 the year the war broke out. Now, farmers with all this wealth, workmen with all this added income, are not going to bo uiiversally economical. The experience of England was that there waa not dullness, but great activity in luxuries. The best we can do will only be to hold down this activity in luxuries. "No one needs to be alarmed that we are going to suddenly disorgan ize all business. If each and all of us will do our best with our cwn affairs, and do our best to carry the lesson to others, we may open the workshops sufficiently for the Gov ernment to perform the tremendous duty that is ahead of it. The great work of the day is to win this war." SERMON TO YOUNG PEOPLE New Cumberland, Pa., Dec. 19. Next Sunday morning the Rev.
