THRILLS AT LABOR DAY CLASSIC IN UNIONTOWN; STEELTON PLAYS BLACK CATS TODAY RARE STUNTS ATUNIONTOWN Labor Day Expected to Draw Immense Crowd to See Motorists Defy Death A big crowd of Harrisbur'gers will motor to Unlontown on Labor Day to take In perhaps the most preten tious racing classic staged anywhere. Darlo Resta, Ralph Mulford and Louis Chevrolet will clash in a three cornered contest that should send the goose flesh creeping even over a cigar store Indian. There is Arthur Duray, Belgian speed king, who fought through the Battle of the Marne. Ruray will' drive one of Louis Chevrolet's Frontenac ma chines, according to the entry. The Speedway management was given a most pleasant surprise when Duray's entry was received for It had been understood that the famous foreign pilot would not come to Uniontown for the final meet of the season. Du ray came to the United States to participate in the automobile racing this season under special leave from his army. , Talk about freak stunts'. Keener P. Speedy, the world's champion high diver, will make three dives from a pedestal 110 feet high into a four-foot tank of water. Speedy is declared to be the greatest high diver in the world. At one time he was a tutor of Annette Kcllerman. Speedy's feat Is a thrilling head foremost dive from a pedestal 110 feet high. When one considers 'hat he drops into a tank containing only four feet of water it is easy to get some faint idea what the difference of a fraction of an inch means in the direction in which his body is head ed when leaving the platform. Sergeant Harold Wright, who went to France with the 'Canadian Flying Corps, will make aeroplane flights with an Army plane. Ser geant Wright came back to this country as the result of wounds and since returning to the United States has.written a series of articles pub lished in the Saturday Evening Post, detailing experiences of the flying men on the western front. Special government permission was neces sary before the flights could be made. What They Did Yesterday; Where They Play Today YESTERDAY'S RESULTS American League St. Louis. 4: New York. 2.

The game will j be called promptly at 3 o'clock. . "Stuffy" Mclnnis Is Real Ball Player "Stuffy" Mclnnis is of tho stuff that baseball players are made. "Stuffy" was a star ball tosser back in 1905, as a student at the Gloucester (Mass.) High scheol, and he never got over it. In 1908 he started his professional career on the diamond with the New Bed ford team of the Eastern League. From New Bedford he was shift ed to Haverhill, of the same league, and it was while' he was with the last named club that one of C.on nie Mack's scouts got sight of the youngster and recommended his purchase. Connie followed the ad vice, and for a few hundred dol lars became possessed of one of the steadies all-around players the game has ever produced. "Stuffy" was an inftelder when he joined the Athletics, and for the first three or four years as a Mackman he covered shortstop. "Covered" is the right word in the right place. Few balls indeed there were that came in his general di rection without having the lid put all over them. In the course of time Mack discovered a weakness at' first base, and he informed "Stuffy" that he had ' been pro moted and in the future would be expected to guard the region about the first sack. "Stuffy" acquitted himself just as well at his new post as he had inhis old position, and soon canto to be regarded as one of the lead ing firs t basemen of the big leagues. Mack finally decided to break up his SIOO,OOO infield.'and one after another of the stars who had aided Connie' in bringing pennants and World championships to Quakter town were, put on the block and sold to the highest bidder. But Mack held on to "Stuffy" until this year, when just before the season opened Mclnnis was sent v to the Boston Red Sox. Ed Barrow, manager of the Bos tons, as a result of the "ravages" of war. found himself without a third baseman on the eve of the opening of the 1918 campaign. "Stuffy" was elected to fill the va cancy. And he was filling it. too, to the satisfaction of all concern ed until Hoblitzell. the veteran first baseman of the Red Sox. an swered his,country's call. "Stuffy" igain was commandeered to close the breach. So Mclnnis returned to the near corner, where he has been a powerful faetop In keeping the Red Sox in the van in the race for the pennant. A glance at the records shows that Mclnnis is one of the most consistent ' hitters in baseball. Since he broke into the major league only twice has he failed to bat above the .309 mark. These breaks occurred in 1909, his first year under the big tent, when his average was .239. and in 1916, when the fiffure was .295.

The class of the third basers is scarcely that of the Class, A players of a year ago, and not one of them is within fifty points of the men who participated in the 1917 champion ships. Deal gives Chicago rather a large lead over the Red Sox and that is chiefly due to his known ability to field and the fact that he is the kind of a batter liable to spring a sur prise by making a slam when least expected. Don' js a fielder who has been much underrated by the experts largely be cause he lias been a weak hitter dur ing all his major league career, and even being with a winning club this season he has not served to improve his batting. He is a normal 225 hit ter in the big leagues, and does not figure to hit nearly that well against the Red Sox pitching, which will be at least 25 per cent, higher than the average of National twirl ing this season. You can figure Deal's hitting practically negligible quantity in this series save that he is liable to take a strong crack at Bush's speed, and a hit in a pinch means a lot in such a series. But in the defensive feature of the game Deal stands very high even when compared w'th the* best fielders of the game, past and present. He has a marvelous pair of hands and is one of the best men in the business in blocking and holding hard drives down the line. He throws very well and has the reputation of being at his best in the tightest places. Deal showed his nerve and ability with the Boston Braves until Smith's superior hitting ability drove him off third base, and those who watched the race that year, and also follows on the team, declare that his field ing was one of the strongest points in the winning combination. He has been the same with Chicago this year, and his work in conjunction with young Hollocher has helped make "the team solid in the inner line of defensive work. In other words, Deal is great in defense but as a member of the Shock squad he isn't much, although he rather shines in comparison with Boston. Third base has been the weakest spot in the Red Sox team all year and if Barrow is rated as a great manager it should be largely upon the manner in which he had kept plugging %P that vital defect in his defensive team. He tried and fail ed with Mclnnis, he has tried all sorts of men —Whitman, Miller, Coffey— anyone that came along and he has found that Coffey, a veteran who is smart and a fair man in all respects, byt never of real major league class, was the most satisfactory in steady work. But for a world's series, against the pitching of the Cubs. Cof fey, figures down to grounds. He gains in one respect and that is that he ought to do fairly well against Vaughn and Tyler, although either: Hendrix or Douglas would make him 1 Fighting in France : fffla i / jJ||ig| * •.' FRANK E. RUMMEIi Here's another of our lads now fighting along the Vesle river in France. He enlisted in Company K, of the old Eighth Regiment, from York. June 24, 1917. While training in Camp Hancock. Georgia, he was transferred to Com pany K, of the One Hundred and Twelfth Regiment, which sailed for France May 8, 1918.

Mach lan was Inducted by special order of the War Department. do a juggling act with his bat. I can't figure him above a 150 hitter against the Cubs pitchers, if he hits that well, but then We must iigure further when we remeirfber that George Rohe, who was about the same type of player as Coffey, was the hero of one world's series. The fact that Coffey's manner of hiting is practically unknown to the Cubs ought to help make him more I dangerous. We find this feature prominent in the history of all world's series that the batters who are unknown to pitchers usually hit hard, vide Hank Gowdy and Rohe. However, in figuring this series we must calculate upon the resoureefull ness of Barrow in gap-plugging. He has Wally Schang who was tried at third and found wanting, and remem ber that Schang can hit left ..handed pitching and that he can wallop that ball hard when he gets hold of it. I am figuring that Barrow is cer tain to use Schang at third base in some of the games, and that Agnew will do practically all the catching. In taking Coffey off third Barrow will' lose only 29 points in fielding and will gain 88 points in batting ability. If he uses Schang only against the left handers of Mitchell's team his next gain will be even larger. Clearly it is Boston's problem to utilize the best points of thq playing of both Schang and Coffey, which is considerable of a problem, and at best the team' gains strength in one department at the certainty of los ing in another. Schang cannot field the third base position, so that, in putting him on that bag Barrow would 'be gambling largely that he would hit and that few balls would be hit in his direction. His ability to hit left handers makes for scoring strength, and the speed of Bush and Mays tends to force the Cubs batter to hit toward right field, so that would relieve the tension somewhat. But when Jones pitches that slow ball it is a different matter. This season both teams are com pelled to take chances that they would not take under ordinary cir cumstances. , If Cleveland could get into the series the Cubs show considerable loss attacking power (although that is like making it a minus quantity) but have less of an advantage. Evans is not a ranking major league in fielder although in some respects equal to or better than either Boston or Chicago. The series it now seems, will be decided on pitching, but even with the best of pitching against weak hit ting teams there is a huge danger in having a leaky infield. Chicago has the better constructed infield for defensive work regardless of whether Zeider or Pick plays sec ond. It lacks class, but is better balanced. Boston is weak at sec ond and bad at third, while extra ordinary strong at first and short. The chance for a game, or possibly the entire series, to leak away through third base is the worst fea ture of the Red Sox defense. To-morrow we will study the catchers—and remember that the catcher in position value is almost twice as valuable as any one of the infielders —and in this series even more vital to the team work.

Secretary Lane's Plan For Returned Soldiers Secretary of the Interior* Lane re cently presented to the President and Congress a comprehensive plan for a preliminary study of the un used lands of the country, with par ticular reference to the irrigation of some 15,000,000 acres of arid land,] the drainage of between 70,000,000 and 80,000.000 acres of swamp land, and the clearing of approximately 200,000,000 ucres of cutover or log ged-o/f land, with the purpose in view of reclaiming these lands through governmental agency and providing homes for returned soldiers. That Secretary Lane's proposition touched a popular chord is indicated by very general newspaper approval and favorable comment by members of the United States Senate and House of Representatives. This is a plan for land conserva tion for use of the demobilized Amer ican armies when they shall have have completed their jobs overseas, i It is aimed to help the soldier help himself, to make a permanent home, one that by industry and thrift would in a few years leave him in dependent. It is pointed out in a general discussion of the plan that there will be a thorough survey to the end that there may be available millions of acres for the returning soldiers to establish themselves on farms and ranches. Secretary Lane is asking Congress for an appropriation of $1,000,000 to be used in the work and attention is called to fvliat other countries are doing in the same direction for re turned soldiers. In a letter to the, Harrisburg Telegraph Secretary Lane states that his plan of organi zation is well outlined and the de partment is already at work on the irrigation and drainage problem.

Bill was gen eral manager of the Northwe'stern tailroad, and Mike and Joe, besides their baseball interests, have a big plantation and other interests. On the bench, as a "raver," Joe excelled either Comiskey, Stallings or Chance. One day he was going good, addressing an offending ball player; "You solid skulled, reinforced con crete headed idiot," he said, "if you had twice as much brains as you have you'd be a half wit —" He purred on that strain for a time and then suddenly he made despairing gesture and said: "Oh, what's the use?

Joe was one of the best umpires that ever handled an indicator, and the quickest-witted with the possible exception of the lamented Tim Hurst. While he and Charlie Co miskey were great pals off the ball Held and have been the closest of chums for many years, the feud be tween them in Joe's umpiring days was wild and woolly.

One day in Chicago, • Joe chased half the White Sox team oft the bench and the next day, when he appeared at the pass gate, he brought two men with him.

Alumni of Pennsylvania State Col lege in this neighborhood do not hesitate to express their approval of the selection of Hugo Bezdek us football coach and general director of athletics for the Blue and White. Their feeling of satisfaction is shar ed by other gridiron followers in this section. Penn State's supporters' around here are not confined to the alumni, for the elevens of the Center county institution have been recog nized for many years as classing with the best in the country and they have long been very popular with all classes of football fans and. pa trons on account of the clearliness and quality of their play, their sportsmanship and their spirit. The signing of so capable a coach ag Bez dek to fill the vacancy caused by the departure of Dick Harlow, for war work, therefore, is pleasing to pa trons of the fall sport in general as well as to State men, both for the sake, of the college, which deserves a winner, and for the good it wl'l do the whole game in this part of the country. The splendid record made by Bezdek at the University of Ar kansas and the University of Ore gon, and the exceptional ability at handling men and getting their best effort which he has shown in his capacity as manager qf the Pitts burgh baseball club, furnish plenty of ground for the confidence that he will make good at Penn,State. He will have little experienced material as a nucleus for his 1918 football team, as only four of last year's players remain, but his ess at Oregon last year in builu...g up a winning team around only one sea soned player left over from 1916 in dicates that handicaps of that kind do not faze the Blue find White's new grid chief.

The next day the Shamrock was disabled and the Columbia won in a walk. The Shamrock made her best showing in the thrd race, but it wasn't good enough. Thus ended Sir Thomas' first lesson. In 1901 he returned to the fray, and the Shamrock II did better than her predecessor, but the' Columbia won all three races The Shamrock 111 was equally un successful, but Sir Thomas did not despair.

He will have no use lor textbooks or blackboard chalk until he has com pleted the required amount of Array work. The entire class will be quartered in tents on the campus, with Army officers in charge of the camp. Upper class students, more than 200 of whom were trained at Plattshurg this sum mer, will drill the freshman recruits and officer their organization. This unusual departure in college curricula is the first step thken by the State College to organize its branch of the Studeht Army Train ing Corps recently created by the AVar Department. For the last fifty years military instruction has been given at the college to all freshman and sophomore classes, but the drill periods were limited to one hour each day. By concentrating on military ac tivities during the first ten days of the college year it is expected the new students at Penn State will quickly be molded into efficient and. well-drill ed troops. The sophomore battalion, which has completed a year of inten sive instruction, will continue its training for another nine months.
