They Are Bobby Roth, hard hitting right fielder; Ed. Klepfer, one of the club's most effective pitchers; Joe Harris, flret baseman, of Coulter, Pa., and Lunte, infielder drafted from Mobile. Klepfer and Harris were caught In the first draft, but, among hundreds of others, never were ordered to re port, each having been directed to hold himself ready to join the col ors on 2 4 hours notice. If Roth is taken It will leave the Indians with only two outfielders. Speaker and Graney, as Elmer Smith is in the ser vice. Squad Is Uncertain Lee Fohl does not know- how many men he will take to New Orleans to prepare for the season, stating lie will not know until he finds out hoy many of the old men will be hack. All he can figure on definitely at present are Catcher Steve O'Neil, Pitchers Coveleskie, Bagby and Coumbe; Infielders Wambsganss, Howard and Turner and Outfielder Graney. There also is a chance Josh Billings will be with the team. Speaker and Chapman have de pendents, but Klepfer, Roth and pos sibly Harri sare almost sure to have to don the khaki. Fohl expects to send the pitchers and catchers to New Orleans a week ahead of the regulars, who are not due to start training until March 18. Fohl figures the chances are that he ■will have several pitching recruits to look over and feels that two weeks from the time the main squad reaches New Orleans until the team leaves to tour with the Giants, will not be enough to get them into chaps.

When the two teams came out on the floor it looked very much as if a grammar school team was going to play a college or pro fessional team because of the dif ference in size and age. Steelton was much older and outweighed Central about thirty pounds to the man. However the Central scrubs showed what team work and speed will do. Central did not get one goal from the field while Steelton was able to score eight times from the field. Robinson's foul shooting kept Cen tral in the game. This lad scored stx -1 teen times from the foul line out of : twenty-six chances. CENTRAL STEELTON J Levan Behman j Robinson Ivrout !

JIM THORPE MA Y BECOME OKLAHOMA OIL IS FAILURE IN BASEBALL Philadelphia, Jan. re port that Jim Thorpe will retire from baseball next season is rein forced by a rumor that the Sac and Fox all-around athletic performer has extensive oil holdings in Okla homa, and will devote his entire time hereafter to coaxing the val uable natural product from the soil of the old home reservation. Thorpe's career on the diamond has beon fitful and decidedly unsuc cessful, and it is not unlikoly that chagrin alone might influence a de termination to quit. The big brave never has had a really regular berth under the big tent. Signed by Mc- Graw in 1913, following his Olympic record at Stockholm, and largely as a drawing card, he was allowed to hang around in uniform, and then was shunted to the minors. His best and only good season was with Milwaupkee, in the American Asso ciation. in 1916. He batted only .274, however, that season. Christy Mathewson had sufficient faith in him to give him another big league HAZLETON HERE FOR HARD GAME State League Runnersup Will Be Cage Attraction Tonight; Lineup Record crowds are again In evi dence at Chestnut street auditorium.

At a session of the executive committee held during the afternoon the fol lowing resolution was passed: "Whereas, Francis Ouimet, upon entering the service of the United States, severed his personal connec tion with the management of the firm of Ouimet & Sullivan, and thereby discontinued the practices which were decided to be in viola, tlon of the amateur rule of the Unit ed States Golf Association; "Therefore, be It resolved by the executive committee of the United States Golf Association that he be and hereby is reinstated as an ama teur golfer." The action of the executive com mittee was heartily approved by the delegates and the resolution was ratified unanimously. This brings to a happy ending long-standing con troversy and one that has caused a great deal of discussion throughout the country. The executive committee also pre sented a resolution with regard to the holding of the championships in 1918. It was as follows: "Resolved, That the action of the executive committee last year in dis continuing the 1917 championships be extended to the period of the war." After some discussion the resolu tion was carried unanimously.. BALL PIiAYTCRS GOT DAMAGES Terre Halute, Ind., Jan. 26. —The Big Four Railroad made heavy set tlements out of court with the ball players who were Injured In a wreck near Peoria last summer. Pitcher Schettler. a former Phil, received $6,750, and Outfielder Donahue a similar amount Manager Nee re ceived $1,500. All were members of the Dayton, 0., Central League Club. chance last year, but gave up tha experiment and turned him back to McGraw. His term contract with the Giants expired last October. Checkered Career The great athlete's career has been doubtless the most checkered of any in the annals of sport In this country. The records show that ho was a professional ball player before he entered Carlisle. They show also that he played bush league ball for money every summer during his stay at Carlisle. The sensation yet Is fresh in mind of these facts, de veloping nearly a year after his par-' tlclpation in the Olympiad, resulting in the recall of his various trophies won in the International games. The reason originally assigned for Thorpe's failure as a big league player was Inability to hit a curve ball. Perhaps it was due more to the fact that he was an Indian, for Its is more and more demonstrated all the while that the American aborigine, while a great football player, was not cut out by nature for the diamond sport.

State's Colleges Hurt by Enlistment of Students "War times have played havoc with the colleges and the falling oft in at tendance has been so considerable that last night representatives of twenty-two Pennsylvania colleges at their annual meeting here drew up resolutions recommending that the study year be shortened. It is likely that this will have the effect of post poning the fall openings in 1918. It was decided to cut the second semester of the present term from three to four weeks in all schools and six weeks in the case of State College. At the same time steps were taken, with recommendations, to save money in various ways after the reading of papers by Chancellor McCormick, of Pittsburgh, and President Klson, of Thlel, telling of increasing rates for tuition, room and board. Addresses wore delivered during the day by Dr. E. E. Spark n, of State College, President Comford, of Hav erford; President Elson, of Thiel; Chancellor McCormick, of Pittsburgh, and others. Officers elected were President Oeorge Leslie Omwake. of Urslnus College, Collegeville; secre tary, Dr. I. Harvey Brumbaugh, of Juniata College, Huntingdon.

Tech add ed nineteen more points to its count while Allentown gained ten more. The victors had no particuler stars Every member of the team took a hand in the scoring.

This is not much to crow over when lt is taken into consideration that the Lewlsburg contingent has been mak ing a cleanup this season. The Has setts cannot win every game, but at tile finish they will have enough vic tories to their credit that will mean something. That Steelton bunch was there with bells last night. An early prediction was that once in the running Steel ton High tossers would cut some fig ure in the scholastic race. The sea son is not over by any means and Steelton is setting a pace just now that means something. It is games like that played last night at Steelton and on Cathedral ficor that make sport popular. Clean playing is always relished by local and Steelton supporters. There is no Central High Girls Win Over Team at Hanover Central girls walked all over the Hanover five last evening at Chest nut Street Auditorium. It was an easy victory for the local girls, score 20 to 6. Central discovered Hano*- ver's weak points in the game played three weeks ago on the Hanover floor and knew just the plays needed to put the visitors to rout. Emanuel, forward, and Watts, cen ter, played the game for Central. They carried oft five field goals each. Maurer, guard, gave their substitutes, DeShong and Shupp, a chance to dis play their talent when the score was rolling up for Central. Both subs put up a fast game. The lineup in cluded: Central. Hanover. Robinson, f. Little, f. Emanuel, f. ShaefTer, f. Watts, c. O'Neal, c. Maurer, g. Conrad, g. Longsdorf, g. Greenabaum, g. The summary: Field goals—Eman uel, 5; Watts, 5; Robinson, 1; Maurer, capt., 2; Shupp, 1; Little, 1; O'Neil, 2. Foul goals—Emanuel, 2 out of 6. Emanuel's game has shown decided improvement In her new position as fcrward. Coach Wallower knew what he was doing when he shifted her from center to her present place. Hanover girls lacker teamwork but made up for it with the pluck they displayed. Most of the Hanover girls were under the age and size of Cen tral's girls. They have good mate rial-on the team but it evidently has not been well developed. Hanover girls lacked teamwork but two out of eight foul goal trys for Hatiover. Infielder Smith Balks at Salary Offered Him St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 26. —Can the Phillies use an outfielder with an average of .297 for IS4 games, who ranked sixth in stolen bases in the National League last summer? There is such a player on the mar ket, who caught flies and poled safe drives for the Cardinals in 1917. In a burning interview issued yes terday, Smith, after receiving his 1918 contract, which called for $425 per month, said that he would re tire from baseball rather than plan with the Cardinals for the salary. "Why, I can make more money shooting pool than I can by playing with the Cardinals for that flguref," said Smith, "and I'm not a cue cham pion. "Bickey either will have to give me $4,000, trade me, or I'll quit. I'm leaving to-morrow for Los Angeles to work for my uncle, and I may never return to St Louis. Let Rickey trade me if he won't pay me the salary—to the Phillies—to any club. They say Rickey is getting $15,000 a year as president.
