Even the unpracticed eye can see by Mose's confident arrangement of anatomy that he has poise, speed and control. And Mose demonstrates. He surely does. He won fifteen games without defeat this season and was the idol of many thousands of fans who claim that Harrisburg never saw the like of Mose. "He pulled my team out of some bad holes," confessed Manager Press ler, of the Reading. "He trimmed Rosewood and Galahad in critical games." Hill fans who saw this kid work with the older men, many of them professionals, think Mose is nothing less than a miracle, because not only can he pitch like a Mathew son, but he hits .400 in the Junior League. Mose was born and reared in old John Harris town. He is not a talk ative person and when intervived as to how one might account for his success he responded laconically: "If I don't have a chew o'tobacco, r can't play ball." The slight but firm bulge in Mose's port cheek shown in the picture, bears out his claim and we do not see how any sport lover can condemn the cherished weed, when it makes a baseball prodigy out of Mose Swartz.

A Letter Home France in June BY GRANTLAND RICE Llent. 115 th Field Artillery, A. E. F. [Copyright, 1918, by The Tribune As sociation (New York Tribune)] Dear Heart, some day, when I come back Across the night that blurs our view. When I have found the long lost track That leads again to home —and you— When I have stalked across this stench Of filth and mud and clotted gore, To see beyond the last lone trench Old dreams rise through the mist once more— We'll know, beyond these blood-shot scenes That leave their wake of blight and pain Just what an old-time twilight means When dusk steals out some friend ly lane. And, hand In hand, home bound we drift. Reyond the mangled and the dead, To watch once more the old moon • lift Its silver etchings on ahead — To meet the darkness without fear Of what to-morrow's fate may bring; To reach and find the other near Through spring's eternal wander ing, And know, at last, our ways are one, Are one forever and a day, Until we meet the last dim sun That leads us on the outbound way. We'll know just what It means to see A far light glowing through the . Stray, Dim dusk of April's witchery, When X come back again—some day— A light from home—and not the flow Of battle flame from darkness hurled, A light from home that sends Its glow To two lost lovers down the world. Dear Heart, I've fouml Out Here, at i last. We've never understood before: i The happiness that we thought past Is but a breath of what's in store Far from the cannon, wheel to wheel, That tear apart the midnight hue, The dawn of life that we will feel Dear Heart, when I come back to you. Elect Samuel Rea Head of Long Island Railroad Samuel Rea was elected president of the Long Island Railroad Com pany yesterday. The Long Island is controlled through stock ownership by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, of which Mr. Rea is chief execu tive. The Pennsylvania head thus succeeds Ralph Peters, for many years president of the Long Island, Mr. Peters having accepted the posi tion of Federal manager of the road as a government representative. As president Mr. Rea will represent the corporate interests of the road only, now that the government has divided the operative from the cor porate end of the business. In point of mileage and traffic handled he heads the corporate interests of the greatest railroad combination in the world. In addition to being the pres ident of the two systems above men tioned, Mr. Rea occupies a similar position in numerous subsidiary lines embraced in the Pennsylvania Rail road combination, his presidencies in cluding' the Pennsylvania Company, the lines of the system west of Pitts burgh, the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington railroad, the West TELEGRAPH SQUALL STRIKES NATIONAL LEAGUE OVER WORLD SERIES ARGUMENT August Hermann, chairman of the. National Baseball Commission, says that he will not attend the meeting' of the National League, called by John K. Tener, president of the league for Saturday at New York. "I am not going to the meeting of the National League, called by Tener," said Hermann. "Some other National Leaguers will not be there, either. Why should we go? We have a tacit understanding to keep right on with the schedule till Sep tember 1, and not to worry in the meanwhile. There isn't any reason why a world's series cannot be ar ranged to begin September 3 or 4. The men <who will play the world series games would have been granted ten days or two weeks by their draft boards in which to find jobs. By our system of finding essential work for the athletes they will be at work before that period of time." President Ban Johnson, of the American League, has called a spe cial meeting of the organization to be held in Cleveland on Saturday, defi nitely to decide on the proposed early closing of the season and the stag ing of the world's series prior to Sep tember 1, in compliance to Secretary Baker's work-or-flght order. There also will be a special meeting of the National League ComAission in Cleveland at the same time. Although the club owners of the National League are scheduled to meet in special session in New York on Saturday, President Johnson was advised by August Hermann, that he would attend the Cleveland meeting Jersey and Seashore railroad. North ern Central Railway Company and the Panhandle. Other elections to the Long Island management include Henry Tatnall, as vice-president and treasurer; A. J. County, vice-president and Con troller; Lewis Neilson, secretary, and Thomas W. Hulme, general real es tate agent. Mr. Tatnall is also vice president of the Pennsylvania Ball road Company, in charge of finance. RED CROSS GET AFGHAN As an evidence of their willingness to help the boys in khaki, pupils of the A and B grades of the Penbrook grammar school to-day presented to the local chapter of the Red Cross, an afghan. Misses Emma Gladhlll and Gertrude H. Nissley are the teachers of the school. AROUND TH Maj. Percy D. Haughton, former Harvard football coach, has resigned as president of the Boston National League Baseball Club. His successor has not been named. , Major Haughton will report at once In Washington to assume his duties with the National Army chem ical warfare service, In which he was recently given a cofnmtssion. He expects to be assigned overseas in the near future. A Philalelphia paper says: Eddie Plank, veteran left-hander is getting SBOO a month for pitching one game a week for a shipbuilding team near Philadelphia. This is rather luxuri ous "working or fighting," but of course Eddie Is far above the draft age. k. The friendship between France and America was more strongly cemented than ever a few weeks ago, when a miracle of miracles —a French-made baseball glove—was turned over to the American troops by a French manufacturer, and found to be a real honest-to-goodness glove. Yep, It was, for all practical purposes, as good a glove as you can buy in any sporting goods house on this side. I Yet it was made by a Frenchman, I who had never seen a ball game or a baseball glove, and who had noth i ing to work on except the specitica- | I tions and blue prints furnished him | by the Y. M. C. A. * Hal Chase has seen a lot of first basemen come and go since he came out of California years ago and startled major league fans with his work around the initial sack, but he is stiVl supreme among the "door tenders" of the National League. He is a kid no longer, yet he moves about with the same grace and agility that always stamped his play, and he still ranks among the league's best hitters. Prince Hal made a num ber of plays In the recent series be tween the Giants and Reds that no other first baseman In the league could make. Furthermore, he en joys the distinction of being one of the few members of the Cincinnati Club who are never hooted by the fickle Redland fans. .The bugs out there swear by him, but never at him. Ping Bodle says he has a good trade to return to, now that he must, quit baseball. Ping was an expert riveter* years ago in San Francisco, and he expects to go back to that work in Hoboken. The difference between a false alarm boxer and lhe real thing Is Illustrated by the career of Jim Cor bett who was. always learning and Inventing in his profession. He dis covered a valuable punch at Fairfax, Cal.t In May 18, when he fought Joe Choynskl. This was the first of the famous meetings between the San Francisco bank clerk and the blonde Hebrew boxer, and the authorities put a stop Instead and that two or three other National League club owners would accompany him. John K. Tener, president of the National League, in a telephone con versation from New York with Her mann said that he would not attend the meeting, as he had decided not to attend any more sessions of the National Commission. This it is un derstood is in line with his declara tion several weeks ago that he would not sit with Johnson in any baseball matters, following the dis pute over the Pitcher Barry case. Chairman Hermann said that at the Cleveland meeting the question of when to close the major league sea sons and also the question of holding a world scries will be definitely de cided. President Johnson said he was strongly opposed to continuing base ball after September 1, as he believes to play after that date would be a direct violation of the War Depart ment's orders. Six of the eight clubs in the American League, he said, have approved his suggestion to close the championship season on or about August 20, and then stage the world's series and exhibition games in the eleven days remaining until the first of September. "It would be selfish to take ad vantage of Secretary Baker's order. This is no time to force recreation on the public, when Americans are giv ing up their lives on the battlefields of France," said the"' statement is sued by Mr. Johnson to-day. McAdoo Orders New Equipment For Newberry Wllllamsport, Aug. I.—The railroad administration has ordered new equipment to be installed in the rail road shops at Newberry junction, one of the largest railroad yards In the United States. at the shops, but it cannot be handled with the present equipment and working force. Therefore the former will be improved and the latter in creased to meet the -demands occa sioned by war-time transportation. to the festivities before either man had a chance to demonstrate his su periority. About a week later Jim and Joe resumed hostilities on a large barge near Benicia. That contest was mem orable for the reason that it was • then that Corbett invented the left hook. Early In the barge contest Gentleman Jim smashed the knuckles of his left hand. Unable to strike out straight from the shoulder, Jim began to turn his left hand and hit Joe with the inside of his left fist. "In order to make the blow ef fective," said Jim, "I had to hook it in all the time, carefully avoiding contact between his head and my sore knuckles. I was amazed at the force I could put into the hook, and I finally knocked out Joe completely with It. I know it was the begin ning of the left hook." Jim won his second battle in the 28th round and defeated Joe again a month later. Hank Gowdy, who started out to help mow the Huns down with artil lery, has been switched to the gas division now he writes in a letter to his friend, Ed Reulbach. Ed was a battery mate of Hank's at Boston and Is now working at the subma rine works at Bayonne. Hank's letter, published In a re cent issue of the weekly paper at the works, says: "Dear Ed: We have been kept busy and we have been at the front now Just about four months. Just returned from gas school. Am act ing as regular gas non-commissioned officer, and its very interesting. A boche plane was brought down here yesterday. It was on lire and two Germans just about burned up. One of them jumped out. The club (meaning Boston) is going bad and in last place, according to the Paris paper. I hope they do not stop base ball because it would sure hurt the game, and, another thing, the people | need It." Returning home from the meet [ ing jn New York, where the New International League voted to finish the season, unless ordered to stop by the government, Jack Dunn an* nounced, the signing of three play ers who will give Baltimore one of the best teams In the country. The trio are ZwiUlng, former outfielder of th Chicago Feds, who has been playing with Indianapolis; Cube Ar ragon, former New York American and Richmond International infielder, who has been with Toledo, and Mc carty, outfielder from Joe Tlriker's Columbus Club. With these players and Sam Crane In the lineup the Birds should have a pennant team In that league. At last young Walter Cochran •vill have a chance to play Willie Hoppe for the 18.2 billiard title. The cham pion has announced his willingness to compete In a tournament in New York in November against all comers, with the championship at stake. Each man will pay an entrance fee of |250. ALL NEWS OF THE RAILROADS SUNBURY MEN GET TOGETHER Railroad Employes Start Co operation Movement; Offi cials Address Meeting Sunbury, Aug. I.—What co-opera tion means to railroads and rail road men was the theme for a series of addresses by railroad officials yes terday. A big mass meeting was held In the court house. It was part of the campaign for an active get to-gether movement now in progress over the entire system of the Penn sylvania railroad. Success of the co-operation movement on the middle and Philadelphia divisions was pointed out. A club will be or ganized similar to that at Harris burg. They were urged to work with a will and to work every day on their jobs, and as President Wilson has so aptly put it, "Keep the arter ies of the country open" during the present great National crisis. Ap peals were also made for great care and "safety first" during this time, that life and limb might be con served so that we may better help to keep the boys 'over there' sup plied with food and ammunition. Tells Men to Stop Kicking H. C. Duffy representing the safety first section of the United States railways, in speaking upon this subject made this stirring and enthusiastic appeal and in speaking of those who kick at the number of hours they are sometimes forced to lay over at Harrisburg and Renovo or other points in their cabins, he called it bosh, saying that they should, and especially in war times, be willing to undergo a little hard ship in order to help our nation and country to better prosecute the war to a successful culmination and to help in making things easier for our hoys 'over there' who do not have cushions and cabins to sleep in when they are in the trenches. Other Speakers Other speakers of the evening were: Wm. Park, general chairman of the B. of L. E., who presided as chairman of the meeting; H. M. Car son, general superintendent of the central division of the Pennsylvania Railroad; Stewart C. Cowan cen tral chairman of the O. R. C.; Mr. Duffy of the safety first division; C. E.
