Manager Cockill's com ing champions are booked for Beth lehem next Saturday, but whether on the road or at home there is lit tle danger of this team taking a slump. The lead at present meaiy a great deal, for the number of games is limited afid the season closes Sep tember '2. Steelton should there fore be able to cop first honors this season. Airtight pitching by Eddie Plank was the chief reason for victory over Fore River on Saturday, although "Dutch" Leonard pitched a sweet game of hall also. Both had perfect control and Leonard also received nn ovation from the Steelton fans who were present to the number of 3,- 000. Rovy Roach was the sensation of the infield, accepting nine chances without an error. Nothing was tool hard for Roxy to get. On several plays he stopped them going across second and whipped them over to first base, getting the runner. Roxy retired the side in the ninth with a sensational catch of a speedy "pop" fly In left field. Moran. calling balls and strikes back of home plate, had an off day. The Philadelphians made numerous j bad decisions and was criticised on | many occasions by the players. Mo- J ran has been here quite a few times | this season, and up to this time made! a big hit with the fans. As Steelton won the poor decisions were soon| forgotten.

Rosewood and Reading, tied for first place at the close of the Allison Hill League, will play a series of three contests for the championship of the league. The first game will be played Tuesday night, and the sec ond on Thursday night of this week. In case no decision has been reached by that time, the following Tuesday will decide the affair. Officials have ( also picked a fourth night in case rain should inteffere with the sched ule. Should the weatherman Interfere Tuesday night the first game will be played Thursday night. Gaines will be played on only Tuesdays and Thursdays. A postponement will carry the game over to the next scheduled night, and for this reason, a fourth night was chosen. Patrons will have a chance to express their appreciation by contributing to the Red Cross at all of the games. Pretty Red Cross girls will be on hand. Patrons of the league say that the largest crowd ever gathered at a Hill contest was on hand Friday night for the final fray. Anywhere from 1,50p to 2,000 people was the guess made. A great many fahs puiled for Read ing, knowing that a Rosewood vic tory would not give them a chance to see an extra series. Both clubs will use their present roster of players.

The team I is enthused with the "never say die" | spirit. The catcher-manager ia to be congratulated on his success as a pilot. There is no harder working mana ger in the league than Manager Charles Pressler of the Reading ag gregation. He has developed team work in his players to an extent that has spelled success for the railroad crew. They won the peanant and the cup last season. To both managers is due the ut most credit for their successes. Since only one team can win the pennant, it will be with no discredit to the other aggregation. The strength of the one ball team, has made the other aggre gation work so much the harder. When the teams played. Friday | night, it was a struggle between two college pitchers. Jones of Villa Nova was pitted against Appier of Oettys burg. Other college twirlers who worked in the league this season are "Lefty" Landis, University of West Virginia; Piatt, of Dartmouth; Vree land, University of Pennsylvania, as well as a bunch of the best amateurs in the city. [ AROUND THE BASES J That colored athletes are more than doing their share in this great world war is attested to by the fact that two of the greatest colored ath letes in the country recently enlisted !in Uncle Sam's Army. Both are I from Brown University, which in the i past few years has been made fa i mous athletically by our darker (brethren. Perhaps .the best-known of them is Fritz Pollard, who was selection for an All-Amerl can halfback position on his myth ical eleven some time ago. He has received his appointment as a phys ical director and will be stationed at Camp Meade. Mayo Williams, an other colored football star, who played end on the Brown team of last year, has enlisted In the Signal Corps and will be stationed at Camp Sheridan. Ohio. Both will return Ito college at the expiration of the | war. • • < j Football will have a big place in j the Camp Dix sports calendar next j fall, through plans completed this | week by the Camp Dix Athletic As | sociation, composed of athletic offi cers of the various military organi sations and athletic directors of the | welfare associations to put in the I lie-Id a team that can duplicate last season's triumph of winning the j inter-cantonment championship. • • • Fielding H. Yost, noted Michigan 'football coach, was asked at a, re cent Red Cross golf match why he I did not play the game. "I saw one and the experience I had was enough to cure me." said Yost. "A friend of mine was in a tournament and invited me to watch him in the final match for the championship. It was even up until the sixteenth hole. Then my friend made a twen ty-foot putt and was one up. Right away I broke into a first-class rah rah cheer for him. but hardly had I let loose when one of the club of ficials grabbed my arm and said: .'My friend, please remain perfectly quiet. Remember your gt>lf eti quette." " 'But,' I protested, 'that shot my friend just made was a lu-lu and It deserves applause.' " 'This is a golf course and not a gridiron,' was the answer. 'On a football field" it may be perfectly proper to give loud voice to your feelings, but on the links silent cheering is the rule.' "From then on.' said Yost, "I de cided I was off any game where a fellow must confine himself to that internal hurrahing." • * • The anti-loafing law is raising! Cain with professional athletes.

The American League boss stated he would call 3 meeting of his club owners perhaps within three or lour days and he indicated that a meet ing of the National League men might be held at the same time, so the matter of a closing date and the beginning of the world's aeries cduld be handled jointly. Baseball club owners and players were preparing to-day to adjust themselves to the decision of Sec retary Baker postponing until Sep tember 1, the effective time of ap ' plying the work or fight regulations to professional players. The Secre tary In announcing his decision de nied the appeal of the National Base ball Cqjnmission to extend the ap plication of the regulations to Octo ber 15.

EVERY SOLDIER TO BE ATHLETE Amazing Report of Camp Lewis Tells of Great Sports Interest in the Army One unexpected result of the great world-war will be that America from now on will produce not hundreds of famous athletes,, but many thou sands of them. The let-up in base ball means nothing serious, being ordered to carry out the letter of the law. Meantime the Army camps are turned into vast athletic fields and to-day the most significant message was sent broadcast by Captain T. G. Cook, director at Camp Lewis for the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities. His report gives a clear idea of what the mission is endeavoring to accomplish through the athletic pro- has Introduced In thQ prin cipal campo of the country. Com menting on the success of this pro gram at Camp Lewis, Majof - General H. A. Greene has declared he is thoroughly. convinced that athletics is a"most essential part of the sol diers' education. One has only to compare the ap pearance of this command to-day wilh that presented at the time they reported for duty here to be con \inced of the value of athletic train ing in developing fighting men," said General Greene. "I cannot too strongly endorse the policy of intelli gently conducted training of the body in developing the fighting effici ency of these men. No matter how willing and patriotic a man may be he accomplishes little as a soldier unless he has a vigorous, sound, athletic body." According to Captain Cook's re port there are between forty and fifty baseball diamonds in various parts of the camp, and 193 base ball teams representing various com panies use them daily. There are two baseball leagues, containing ten regimental teams each, which play every week. The Three Hundred and Sixty-first Regiment has seven teen teams completely equipped from cleats to gloves; fifteen com pany teams, officers' teams and the regimental team. The Camp Lewis baseball team, which is composed large'ly of ex-major league players, and is a divisional organization, plays two games weekly with teams from the Pacific International Coast League. Willie Ritchie, representing the Training Camp Commission, Is In charge of boxing at Camp Lewi*. He has approximately 500 assistant instructors who have been trained in the fistic art for the past six months. These men in turn teach boxing to groups of men from fifty to seventy-five In number. At the Camp Lewis boxing championship, held to the first week In June, fifty seven bouts were staged. Football also comes in for a great deal of attention at Camp Lewis. Last fall sixteen teams participated in the sport and each regiment and a large number of company units were represented. Two hundred and twenty-five basketball teams also were organized in the camp. Track meets are popular among the sol diers. In June, a meet was held on which TBS soldiers took part before an audience estimated at more than 30,000. Through the Training Camp Com mission. Camp Lewis field has been t"quipped with a grandstand and bleachers and a club house with lockers, shower baths, etc. The Camj%Lewls arena has a one-third mile track and a seating capacity of 16,000. At the present time there are ten tennis courts and several more are to be erected within a short time. • Various impromptu games are en gaged in at all times, the report concludes. General Greene, whose slogan is, "Athletics For Every Man," set aside one hour daily— -3.30 to 4.30—f0r recreatlvo athletics, and It Is a wonderful sight, accord ing to Captain Cook, to pass along the parade grounds at this hour and see from 30,000 to 40,000 men en gaged in various forms of athletics. WiUard Says He Will Meet Dempsey After War "I'd like to fight Dempcey," was the first comment of Jess Wlllard, heavyweight champion, when he learned the outcome of the Oempsey-Fulton fight at Newark. "I .am-not surprised at the re sult," he continued. "All you have to do is to hit Fulton to have him down." WiUard de clared his belief there would bo no more major boxing events un til after the war. "Dempsey has a rough road be tween him and the champion ship," asserted Wlllard. "He Is not going to win the champion ship in 23 seconds, nor in an hour and 23 seconds. "Just .as soon as the war is over I am going to take on Demp sey, or any other claimant. I have not retired from the ring and I have no intention of doing anything of the *ort."

Fight Fans Make Hero of Pugilist Jack Dempsey The age of hero worship Is not over by any means. Hear how the fight, fans carried on Saturday night at Harrison, N. J., when Jack Dempsey knocked Fred Fulton cold after 18 3-5 seconds of fighting. "Dempsey," says the truthful chronicler "helped to lead Fulton to his chair and then he returned to his own corner, to be literally swallowed in a tangle of frenzied 'hands and arms. Then this • Stic King Bee, until he was lost even to his manager, Jack Kearns, who al lowed that he was very desirous of shaking the hand of the next heavy weight champion of the world. Over the top they piled, this mad crowd that seemed eager to tear Dempsey's good right arm off at the shoulder. It mattered not that poor scribes were seated at a thin pine board trying to tell the whole world what this Ijig boy had done. They tore telegraph Instruments out by the roots in their haste to get into the ring. Dempsey broke away finally and made for Fulton's corner, where the latter's seconds were dousing him with ice water and cold sponges in an effort to round up his scattered wits. Poor Fulton sat humped over on his chair looking for all the world like an invalid crane. He didn't seem to realize what had happened and when he arose finally to leave the ring, he reeled and groped for the ropes in an effort to steady himself. He was a beaten man if ever there was one. There was not much to the fight. Dempsey opened the bout by showing both hands to the Plasterer's body, and after putting a straight right under the heart, he walloped his op ponent's stomach. He then shot a right and left to the Jaw sending Ful- ton to the mat for the count In the record time of eighteen and three flghts. Fulton did not land a punch. Cheaper Telegrams Now Sought by U. S. AVBNhliigrton, July 29. Reduction of cost of telegrams is under consid eration of the Federal wire control committee of the Post Office Depart ment. it was learned yesterday. Final decision on sucji a step will rest on the extent of the economy which may be effected through Joint operation of the telephones, telegraph lines and the postal service, where these three agencies of communica tion have been merged. Members of the post office commit tee on telephones and telegraph are understood to believe a material re duction in operating costs will be pos sible if they are able to put into full effect their plans for complete co ordination of the service. The plans under consideration which. It is contended, will permit a reduction in the telegraph rates fol low: First. Use of postage stamps In paying for telegrams, by which much bookkeeping will be eliminated and credit accounts will be abolished. Second. Utilization of postal ma chinery for handling the finances of the telegraph and telephone com panies in cities and towns, thereby af fecting a big saving in operating ex penscs. • Third. Reduction In operating ex penses by abolishing a large number of high-salaried offices, as has been done in tfie Railroad Administration, and by having one local manager for the telegraph and the telephone in each city. $4.15 PER CAPITA Dauphin county has a record of hav ing bought $4.13 worth of War Sav ings Stamps for every man. woman and child of Its population.
