TENER'S RESIGNATION THREATENS BASEBALL WAR; HILL LEAGUE AVERAGES SHOW CLASS PITCHER WERTS VACUUM CLEANER Sweeps Up Hick-A-Thrift 5-0, in Pitchers' Duel With Bobby Clark ALLISON HILL LEAGUE Last Night's Results Reading, 5; Hick-A-Thrift, 0.

Reading shut out Hick-A-Thrift last evening in an Allison Hill con- i test by a score of 5 to 9, in a I pitchers' duel between "Don" Werts and "Bobby" Clark. Each tosser allowed three hits; in other respects Werts had the better of the contest, j Reading played errorless ball, help- j ing in the white-wash that was handed to the losers. Reading tallied its first run in the second inning when George Levan singled. Ho stole second, and was sacrificed to third. He scored when Shartle tripled. Another pair of runs came in the third. "Putty" Lynch walked, and was given sec ond on McCurdy's hit. Both ad-1 vanced a base on a passed ball. I When Hinkle threw low to catch a runner two runs crossed the plate. Tim Euker reached first on a base on balls, and eventually got home station on an error. "Bill" Euker made the final run in the fifth on an error, stolen base and fielder's choice. Hick-A-Thrift never threat ened the plate as the result of the clean handling of the ball as well as by Werts' clever tossing. The vic tory gives Reading a two game lead over Rosewood their nearest rival. Tonight Reading will tackle Gala had, and the batteries will likely be Levan vs. Biever. Following the contest the officials will hold a busi ness session at the regular place at I which evidence will be heard in the reading protest, and a president will likely be chosen to succeed C. How ard Reel, who has moved from the city. The score: READING AB. R. H. O. A. E. McCurdy. 2b .. . 2 1 0 5 0 0 W. Euker, ss . . 3 1 0 0 2 0 Werts, 3 0 1 0 1 0 Levan, 3b 2 1 1 0 1 0 T.

Plans were laid to accommodate the pupils which will besent from the town ship school No. 1 and Dry Saw Mills schools which have been closed. Teachers for the term are: Principal, the Kev. Clyde W.

A glance at the list shows that Reading stands at the head of the league through its classy batting. Quite a few of the railroads are in the king-pin class. More than an ordinary number of players in the league have clean records to date, when it comes to the fielding de partment. The high average in both the batting and fielding departments indicate the grade of ball that Hill residents are getting gratis from the league. On the other hand the pa trons are always willing to respond when league finances need a boost. Batting averages.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH BASEBALL WAR IS NOT LIKELY Tener May Resign but Major Leagues Cannot Afford to Split at This Stage ——— ■ 1 ■ —i k JOHN K. TENER Any one who has followed the Ins and outs of organized baseball for a decade will grin at the desperate news of the American League and National dissolving. Time and again rumors of this have spread and cat astrophy has threatened but we no tice that the two leagues keep going right along, ruled by their national commission, for the wise men in baseball know that scrapping does not pay in this game. It is all a club can do to come through the season with profit and withtense competition only a few cities like New York and Chicago could thrive. Hence, we will no doubt see the Tener incident blow over like its forerunners. When one appeals to baseball's "supreme court" there is no further to go. Common law has been dragged in several times to settle baseball disputes but it is never satisfactory. Barney Dreyfuss 'brought action against John McGraw at Boston some years ago and it was a farce. The point emphasized in this in cident is that a feeling of bitterness Still exists between the two major leagues, and old National men never will be amiable to the American which is comparatively a newcomer, and which has prospered in great measure through Ban Johnson's bull dozing, high-handed, determined reign. Here is what Johnson said to day in Chicago: "Replying to the statement of John K. Tener, presi dent of the National League, that he would have no further dealings with the National Baseball Commission in any cases in which the American League is a party, I fear no break in our relations with the National League, as 1 understood President Tener will shortly resign. "The contemplated resignation of President Tener from the presidency of the National League occasioned me no surprise. From advices I have received from several sources, the course he has taken is absolutely necessary for the welfare of base ball in view of the fact that he de voted so little attention to the affairs of the game. "Morally and technically, Manager Mack, of the Philadelphia club, can be justified in the position he has taken In the Perry case. "I presume the parent body will find no difficulty in ably filling the position Governor Tener has finally determined to vacate." According to Connie Mack, Presi dent Tener has some cause for pro testing at the Perry decision due to August Herrmann. Mack says: "Ten er bases his objection on the fact that we have not abided by the decision of the national commission. The fact that the commission was wrong and operated against the in terests of the Athletic ball club is not considered. "I have always liked Governor Tener personally, but if he quits the national commission or resigns as president of the National League he has only August Herrmann, chair man of the national commission, to blame. "Herrmann has botched the Perry case from beginning to end. He knows this. We are prepared to show where Herrmann has made his own rules. We are all supposed to follow the leter and spirit of the national agreement. Herrmann has not done this. "Three National League clubs had a crack at Perry. Each one of them gave him the cold shoulder, and he was left to drop into obscurity. Not until I pulled him off the seat of a motor truck, took him south and made a winning pitcher out of him di dthe National League show any interest In him. Then the National League <began to sit up and take no tice. ' I don't care what the National League does; It will never get Perry. .Half of the story about the Perry case has never been told, and If It ever comes to court we will produce evidence that will make the heads of certain persdns swim." With the prospect of John Tener resigning from his Important position and a possible rift In major leagues It Is Interesting to know precisely what happened to bring on this cris- AROUND THE BASES Word has been received at Prince ton University that Billy Moore, Tiger football star in 1915 and 1916, has won a Distinguished Service Cross in France for supplying the Marines with ammunition under ter rific lire. Moore now is a lieutenant. He lives in-New York City. Secretary Daniels sent a cablegram to Vice Admiral Sims, congratulat ing the American Navy baseball team for its victory over the Army tqam at London on July 4 in a game wit nessed by King George. The mes sage said: "Greetings and congratulations to the Navy boys on their victory in the great American game. It is but one more proof that the Navy can do well anything it undertakes." Paul (Muggsy) McGraw, quarter back on the Duquesne University football team, is 100 per cent, pa triot, but a slacker on teeth. The Marine Corps turned him down on account of the absence of two lower jaw molars, so he had a dentist rig him up a pair. Trying again, this time at a Navy recruiting station, he was almost accepted when In the pending exercises his fake ivories tumbled out and once more he was rejected. "The most remarkable pitching feat I have ever witnessed," says John Evers, "was performed by Dick Rudolph. The Reds were playing in Boston and Dick shut them out, 3 to 0. He was anxious to go home for a day or two at that particular time, and after blanking the Reds said to Manager Stallings: " 'lf I pltfch again to-morrow, and win, will you let me go home for a day?' "Stallings replied that he would, whereupon Dick faced the Cincin natti batsmen on the following day and beat them, 1 to 0. To pitch two games in one day is quite a feat, but to pitch two games in two days is even a greater one, particularly when both are shutouts." , F. M. Troeh, of Vancouver, is the leading trapshooter of the country, according to the Interstate Associa tion averages for the season to June 15. The northwestern amateur has an average of .9763, having broken 1,074 targets out of 1,100 sprung from the traps in front of his gun. Troeh's average is also some forty points better than that of the leading professional. Ed. Mitchell, of Los Angeles, who has shattered 1,453 clays out of 1,500 sprung, for an average of .9720. Lack of interest in baseball, due to the war, coupled with the re- is. The decision of the national com mission in the Scott Perry case was announced in Cincinnati June 12. Because a minor league was invol ved two additional representatives sat in judgment upon the case. The personnel of the commission consist ed of Chairman August Herrmann, president of the Cincinnati National League club; President Tener, of the National League; B. B. Johnson, president of the American League; J. H. Farrell, secretary of the Na tional Association, and R. H. Raugh, president of the Southern Associa tion. The evidence submitted, upon which Herrmann, Tener and Farrell awarded th eservices of Perry to the Boston Nationals, while Johnson and Raugh did not concur, showed, ac cording to the commission report: Perry was sold to the Boston Na tionals by the Atlanta Club, of the Southern Association, under an op tional agreement for $2,000. Perry deserted the Boston cll'.b in June, 1917 after the latter organization had paid SSOO of the purchase price. Boston was assured its rights to the player would be protected If Perry ever returned to organized baseball. Early in the present season the pitcher returned to the Atlanta club and was sold to the Philadelphia Americans and is playing with that club. "When the decision of the National Commission was made public Connie Mack, manager of the Athletics, ob tained a court injunction at Cleve land on June 17, preventing the Bos ton Nationals from interfering with the activities of Perry until the case could be argued on its merits before the court and final decision given.

A Cincinnati boy, novy in training with the machine gun squad of the light tank corps at Camp Colt, Get tysburg, Pa., gives the best of rea sons for continuing the national pas time in its professional aspect. He says: "I'm hoping that they will not knock out baseball with thois 'work or fight' order. There is no reason why they should. There are plenty of boys in these camps with out drawing on a few hundred ball players. "The first thing these boys turn to when they get a paper is the sport page, and then they'll be telling you how many hits So-and-So got yes terday, and who pitched for the vari ous teams. Baseball is the one thing back home that they can all follow." This is an unanswerable argument <or keeping this sport on a firm basis during the war." Benny Kauff, the heavy hitter of the New York Giants,* donned the Army khaki a few days ago at Camp Sherman. He had to go through the usual process of innoeulation on his arrival. Coach Ed. Conner, the division athletic instructor, has of fered New York's heavy hitter a berth on the camp's baseball team, but he will have to wait until Benny has spent two weeks in the deten tion quarters before he can derive any benefit from Kaug's proficiency with the br.t or in the outfield. When John (Shano) Collins, of the White Sox was in the Connecti cut State League, playing with Springfield, the Waterbury team had Harry O'Hagen on first base and Col lins vouches for the truth of this story on Harry. It seems that for more than two seasons O'Hagen had amazing success trapping runners on first when the game was unusually close. If Waterbury simply had to get that one runner, O'Hagen would never fail. It got to be almost a superstition among players. The real reason came out, finally, but not before O'Hagen had aided his team on innumerable occasions. He carried a hat pin, and would insert it in his glove Then he'd sig nal and the pitcher would throw the ball over to him. Harry would jab the runner with his glove. The pin would stick him slightly and he'd jump off the sack in surprise.
