Frank's poor form from the fif
teen foot mark, and the fact that
Fields did not accompany the Cen
tral High School basketball team to
Lebanon Saturday night resultcH in
a disastrous 48 to 15 defeat tor the !
local aggregation. Lebanon showed !
good form throughout and the re- i
suit was never in doubt. At half j
time the Re and Blue lads were
leading 22 to 7.
"Brickie" Miller again ran amuck i
at guard for Lebanon tallying ten
times from the field. In the other
Central game at Chestnut street
hall, this lad found the net for
Eleven lield goals. As a result of his
superb playing against Central in
these two games, he has increased
his chances to land the individual
honors in lield goals. His total is
now 4 5 in 10 games.
Frank Has Off Night
Fi;ank fell down on fouls for the !
first time this season. The best he !
could do was to net 9 out of 23
trials. He made one lipid goal while j
his opponent landed seven. . Fields i
was missed too from the lineup, as !
his fast floor work was not in evi- '
dence. Rodgers who substituted for
him played a good floor game for
Central.
The Lebanon crew tried out sev
eral no-.,- men, who made good
showings. Quinn and Chadwick at i
forward both scored in their first
appearance, while Spalin and Wolfe
got their first league try-out at
guard. Central will put in a hard
week in preparing for the Steelton

Western Shoot Here
I Philadelphia, March 11.—The trap
j shooting of the Pennsylvania Rall
j road eastern district was captured by
I (he bluerock experts of the New Jer
j sey division, represented by the J
i Camden team, when they defeated |
i teams from Wilmington, the Gener- ■

This match was the culmination of
I the elimination shoots that have been !
in progress on the entire Pennsylva- j

gives the Jerseymen the undisputed I
| crown of this section. By their win |
they are chosen to represent the i
Eastern district in a shoot for the t
system championship against the |
winning team from tha Western ('is- j
trict, to be held on April I'J, rrob-!
ably in Philadelphia.
Despite the highly unfavorable
shooting conditions Saturday, fairly
high scores ruled. During the cham
pionship shoot the rain was at its
worst, beating right into the faces
f.f the shooters -and driving the
discs down so that quick trigger J
work was necessary to oreak them
before they got below the top of the
traphouse.
Camden I.eiuls
The five-man Camden team broke
226 targets, while second pl*ce went;
to the quintet from the General Of- !
fees, who clipped thi wings of 215 j
b'rds. The Philadelphia Terminal I
squad got 205 saucers, while fourth j
place found the Wilmington team, j
representing the P.. B and W. divi- |
sion, firmly ensconce.l with 201

E. T. Coleman, who made the high j
mark for the Camden shooters with i
forty-seven breaks, maintained him- 1
self in the lead as high individual
scorer in the Inter-Cltv League. hiF
average for the eight shoots being ,
nearly forty-five.
The high scorer for the day was ]
Harry I. Sloan, the crack of the Gen- |

seven brought liim second high in |
honors, while there were three I
forty-six scores, made by Cross, of i
Camden; Blass. of Philadelphia Ter- I

The Wilmington shooters fell down i
badly in their efforts and only man- j
aged to turn in two scores of bet- !

STEELTON STARTS
SEASON IN MAY
Wilmington Not on Circuit
This Year; Last Games to
Be Played Labor Day
League baseball at Steelton will
start Saturday, May 11. This date
was announced by representatives on
their return from a meeting of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation League
boosters in Bethlehem. The season
ends on Labor Day. Games will be
played Saturdays and holidays. The
Steelton representatives are: Harry
Bent, T. T. McEntee and W. W. L,eck.
The circuit will be the same as
last year—Lebanon, Steelton, Beth
lehem, Sparrows Point, Fore River
and Wilmington. There is just a
possibility* that Wilmington will not
be in the lineup the coming season,
as it was felt that because of the
Wilmington City League no Bethle
hem team should be located these
but at Elizabethport, where the Sam>
uel Moore's Sons plant is located.
Dlseuim Schedule
However, there was a strong feel- !
ing that Wilmington should again be
represented ,in the circuit and the
managers at the meeting
separated with a tacit understanding
that the 1917 circuit would not be I
broken.
Chief among the matters consid- i
ered and favorably acted upon was
the adoption of the schedule, which
is made up of twice the number of
games as composed last year's race. 1
This season each team will play two 1
home games and as many games '
awajl- from homo with each of Its
flv-> opposing teams. It Is expected I
that the schedule will be released for j
publication very shortly.

CENTRAL HIGH
GIRLS LOSE OUT
Williamsport Co-Eds Are Too J
Heavy For Local High
School Team
In the Williamsport-Central game
staged at Williamsport, the local
girls lost, score 22-20. The game was
a speedy one with Williamsport in

Central's girls except the center were
injured in the first half of the game.
The Williamsport girls were a
husky bunch and had little trouble
keeping the floor to themselves.
Miss Kmunuel Stars
Their passing was brilliantly play
ed. They put up a stiff fight as is
shown by the score. Central's floor
work was excellent.
Miss Emanuel was the bright light
with Captain Maurer a close second.
They made all the points for their
team. Miss Emanuel shot six fouls
and caged five baskets. Miss Maurer
made two baskets.
Miss Mildred Shupp played a part
game but was injured in the first
part of the game. The lineup was:
1 Emanuel, Shupp, f.; Watts, c; Longs

substitute. The team was chaperoned
by Miss Stuart, of the High school

HAHKD£BURG qjUßfr TELEGRAPH _
URGEFARRELLTO
END HIS SILENCE
New York State League Mag
nates "Pass the Buck" to
J. H. Farrell
Syracuse, N. V., March 11.—
When local baseball men interested
in the franchise held in the Xow
1 York State League learned that there
was virtually no chance of the pro
posed Sunday baseball bill going
through the state legislature, it is
said that an immediate step was
taken to urge other State League
magnates to take the matter up with
President J. H. Farrell and have
him issue a statement as to the pres
ent status of the league and what
are the possibilities of the circuit
starting the season.
Local moguls, it is understood,
have lost their patience and say that
now is the time for the league head
to discontinue his policy of silence
and take the various team owners
into his confidence.
Any chance the proposed bill had
of getting through the state legisla
ture was killed the other night when
members of the upper branch of the
assembly voted to sidetrack the
measure for an indefinite period.
Senators in caucus agreed not. to
have the bill introduced in the Sen
ate at this term.
I his action of the Senators in
agreeing to pigeonhole the bill comes
as a big surprise to thousands of
citizens who had worked hard in the
interests of the measure and had re
ceived almost positive assurance of
its passing.
Magistrate Hacks Bill
Magistrate McQuade went to Al
bany to lobby for the bill and he
argued with legislators that the
games on Sunday would furnish
thousands of workers with innocent
amusement, and in addition, the gov
ernment and various war funds
would benefit materially.
This bill was supposed to be a
regular pulmotor for the State
League, and on its fate rested like
wise the fate of the Farrell circuit,
according to the critics throughout
the circuit. The decision has been
made on the bill and the team own
ers now want Farrell to make some
decision on the destiny of the league.
It is now the middle of March. By
this time, according to the blueprints
of the team owners, the policy of the
league for the coming season should
be all mapped out and the schedule
formulated. But virtually not a thing
has been accomplished, they assert,
and if the reports that are supposed
to emanate from the local offices are
correct, the men who have their
money tied up in the dubious State
League franchises are getting ready
to put the buck right up to Farrell.
Farrell Must Act
If their plans mature as sketched,
the league head will be asked to call
an elimination meeting right off. This
session will either eliminate the
New York State League for the sea,-
son of 1918—probably for the dura
tion of the war—or else the "get
busy" sign will be hung up at Au
burn and plans started to have the
league toe the scratch for the twen
ty-second opening sometime in May.
in the event that the league exe
cutive refuses to call an emergency
session and again insists in delaying
matters to wait on a decision from
the International league, the mag
nates will probably take things
right out of Farrell's hands and vote
to close up.
Then will come the great sale of
players that has been awaiting the
decision from the league boss and
the possible passing out of existence
for all time of the famed little minor
league circuit.
Famous Jim McCormick
• Dies After Long Illness
Paterson, N. J., March 11.—Jim
McCormick, veteran baseball player
and famous pitcher of the Chicago
White Stockings in the early -eigh
ties, died at a hospital here from a
disease of the liver. tn his base
ball days he was a teammate of the
Rev. "Billy" Sunday, Mike Kelly,
the, "$ 10,000 beauty," and "Old Sil
ver Flint, under the management
of Adrian Anson. He and Kelly
were considered the best battery Jn
baseball at that time.
McCormick was more than 60
years old and had been ill for a
year. It was not until a few weeks
ago, however, that he was forced to
enter the hospital. It was believed
by the physicians that he was im
proving gradually, but he had a
sudden turn for the worse Saturday
and he died within a few hours.
St. Louis Browns Release
Magee to Cincinnati
St. Louis, March 11.—Lee Magee,
infielder, was released by the St
Louis Americans to the Cincinnati
Nationals. A three-cornered trade
was involved.
In return for Magee, the St. Louts
Americans received from Cincinnati
Tim O. Hendryx, outfielder, and the
New York Americans will get a
player later, either from the Cincin
nati Nationals or from the St. Louis
Americans.
Magee was obtained from the New
Yoirk Americans in July, 1917, New
York got him from the Brooklyn
Federals when the war with the Fed
eral I .league ended. Magee's saiarv
last year was $8,600. He was offered
less than **,ooo for this season by
the St. Louis Americana, and has
not yet signed a contract.

Army Baseball Teams
Plan
Celebrities to Play
Washington, March 11.—Baseball
will be played on an extensive scale
in the Army and Navy training
camps this year. There are over 1,-
500,000 men under military training
in the country to-day and the com
mission on training camp activities
of the War and Navy Departments
which have the supervision of sports
in the Army cantonments and naval
stations want every single one of
these men to play baseball. And it
is likely every one will, for what
average American can resist the
call of the diamond? This means
that more baseball will be played
this summer than ever before.
Season Underway
The season is already under way
in most of the camps. The soldiers
and sailors waited for no official in
auguration and the snow had barely
left the ground before games were
in progress on camp athletic fields
and parade grounds. In fact, in
places favored with a mild climate
the men have played throughout the
winter.
Plans for the organization of
camp teams and camp leagues are
being formulated by Dr. Joseph A.
Raycroft, general director of athle
tics in the camps, under the super
vision of the training camp commis
sion. Before ahother month passes
the soldiers will have their company,
regimental and divisional teams and
these teams in turn will form com
pany and regimental leagues. No
divisional leagues are contemplated
because of the scattered locations
of most of the cantonments, but
where conditions permit intercamp
games will be arranged.
Team at lOach Station
Similar plans for the naval sta
tions are being made by Walter
Camp, who is general director of na
val athletics. Each station will have
a representative team which will be
selected by elimination and play out
schedules that are being drawn up
with amateur, professional and col
lege nines from adjacent cities. It
is also possible that the sailor may
play teams from nearby army camps
and engage in intersection contests
as the stations are much nearer
one another than the army canton
ments. ,
At the Boston Navyyard a picked
aggregation which includes several
big league stars in training there. Is
being organized for a three-month
tour of the country to play major
league teams and fast semiprofes
sional and collegiate nines. John J.
bane, former secretary of Boston
Red Sox. and now a navy warrant
officer, has been made business man.
ager of the team and is making
arrangements for the trip, the pro
ceeds from which will be turned
over to the Navy Welfar.e Fund.
Will Need Baseballs
It is estimated that approximate
ly 50,000 balls will be used up "offl-
according to information received
by Manager Rowland. Faber's home
district, Cascade, lowa, has sent
enough volunteers into the Army to
make the call on conscripted men
unnecessary at present.
cially' in the camp games in the
course of the season. This figure is
arrived at by estimating that there
are over 4,000 companies in train
ing in the various camps and multi
plying this number by 12, which is
the number of baseballs the training
camp commission is planning to fur
nish each unit in addition to gloves
and bats. Many more, of course,
will be supplied by the men them
selves and these will bring the num
ber nearer 70,000, it is believed.
Any number of baseball celebri
ties have joined the colors since war
was declared and a nine of which
any major city might well be proud
could be picked from either the
Army or Navy. Among the diamond
stars now in the service are "Rab
bit" Maranville, Ernie Shore, Del
Gainor, "Chick" Shortun, Ilerb Pen
nock, and John Barry, of the Unci
Sox; Jack Leary, of the St. Louis
Americans, and Jim Scott, of the
Chicago White Sox.
Major league officials and amateur
baseball associations have volun
teered their assistance in promoting
baseball hi the camps. They have
offered to send teams into the camps
to play the service nines or bring Jn
other outside teams for exhibition
games. Camp Lewis at American
Lake, Wash., was asked to join the
Northwestern League but the invi
tation was refused because the exi
gencies of service will prevent travel
ing. It is believed, however, that
"twilight" ball may make it possible
to bring league teams to the camp
exhibition contests.

strong bid for it.
The big shoot is held at Lancaster

birds will count for the cup.
John Dcmining, the former Tech

the George Dallas Dixon Champion
ship Cup, will meet Sunbury, Olean,
Oil City and Pitcairn divisions next
Saturday in this city.
Rather late in coming, but better
late than never, Harrisburg is to
have a boxing show. It will be held
within the next two weeks, provid
ing Mayor Keister will grant a per
mit. The show will be under the
direction of the Motive Power Ath
letic Association of the Philadelphia
Division, an organization that has the
leputation for furnishing clean
sport. This association has a mem
bership of 1,200 and every member is
a booster.
International League magnates are
having a hard time getting a com

Keys: "Men who know in Wilming
ton, Del., say there is no chance of
the busy munition city trying to get
a f ranch iso in the International
Ltiigue this year. They say that
Wilmington is too much engaged
turning out munitions and ships to
conquer the Hun to take up Class A.

Benny Kauff, center fielder of the
New York National League baseball
club and former all-around star of
the Federal League, received notice to
ic-port to his local draft board in
New York City on March 14 for ex
amination. Kauff expected to leave
here with the club to-day. The
Giants aro due at their training
camp at Marlin on March 14, and an
attempt will be made to have Kauff
examined to-day. As Dave Roberts,
son, right lielder of the club, already
has served notice to that club that
he will not play with them this year,
the loss of Kauff would severely
cripple the pennant chances of the
New York team.
John McGraw Claims That
Herzog Is Through as Star
\ v
New York.—John McOraw says
Herzog was a trouble maker during
the season of 1917. Further, he says,
as a, ball player Herzog Is slipping.
That it, for It is certain Her
zog is slipping. At the time of th
world's series he was not backward
In saying so.
If bluntness is a virtue, the for
mer Giant captain is an extremely
virtuous young gentleman. In Chi
cago last October he said McGraw
had leaned heavily upon him, pfe
sumably for inspiration, during the
1917 season, and that the Giants'
leader was sadly lacking in both the
lire and dash that has made him
famous.
It was evident, then the two did
not "Mocha and Java," and Herzog's
eventual release was "in the air"
even as early as October, when ho
was talking largely of suing tho
management for the salary he hnd
been denied during his self-elected
vacation.
Now McGraw says Herzog will
probably be through as a player in
1919. Herzog is yet to be heard
from as to when McGraw will be
through as a manager!
