"LEFTY" PIERCE AND JOE McCARTY HEROES OF STEELTON'S VICTORY OVER BETHLEHEM 6,000 Fans See Steelton Win the Deciding Game From Bethlehem jV r-- PITCHER TESREAU The fir3t baseball pennant of na tional importance in this immediate neighborhood since the days of tbei Tri-State League was won on Satur-j day by fianager George CockiU's 1 skilled veterans over Bethlehem, the! victory carrying with it the capital; prize in the Bethlehem Steel Lea- ] gue. Whatever the effect of war on; the national pastime it is certain; that Mr. Schwab will make every of-! fort to maintain this league another; year, for no sport can take the place; of baseball us an attraction to the! thousands of Schwab workers: The! town of Bethlehem never witnessed | so stirring a day as this; over 6,000 • panting, hungry fans crowded into, the arena; partisan feeling ran high,; and Field Marshal Cockill needed the! poise of a Foch to handle his forces i without getting rattled. No program could have been in-! vented which would so tickle the pa late of the home rooter, for Bethle-j hem assumed the lead in the fourjh, and held it firmly uatii the eighth, I so that ;iia frenzied spectators could j not allow themselves to believe that) jo ft Tesreau would be beaten. With) this comfortable lead, suddenly, inj the eighth, after Roxy Roach flied' out, Steve Yerkes, who held down) left field after months of idleness! owing to an injury, met the pill square and rode it for a long single- j Young Nield was now called on to j bat for Lefty Pierce and his striking! out was a sad blow to Cockill. This| also took Pierce out of the game, but; fortunately, Eddie Plank was on the j Job. And now came a crucial point; In the game, with Georgfc Hunter up. I George never has been at all fear-1 ful of Big Jeff. He maced him time and again this season, and Jeff tried his best to keep out of his reach, but George succeeded in mauling it to deep center, scoring Yerkes. Tho sun of hope was already beginning to dim in Bethlehem, and certain des tiny put shivers into her athletes, for Fitzpatrick proceeded to fumble McCarty's blow and George Hunter did not need the Flatiron building to fail on him. He was over the rub ber with tying score in jigtime. Neither side scored in the ninth and when the tenth arrived Bethle hem fairly rocked on her founda tions. First man up was Rovy Roach, veteran of years with Stallings and Southern Association clubs. He had not met the ball fairly as yet, and set himself for a solid blow, which' same landed in center. Then the! beans spilled. Yerkes rolls one to; Holke v/ho draws Fishburn off sec-1 Miss M. Glenn Gutshall Heads Associated Aids Miss M. Glenn Gutshall, who for three years was secretary of the So cial Service Bureau, to-day begins lier duty as actiong general secre tary of the Associated Aids Societies, succeeding John H. McCandless, who has gone to Washington to take up Red Cross work. Miss Gottshall will be assisted by Miss Edith Young in the Social Service Department. Miss Mary Peiffer, of the Children's Bureau, will be assisted by Miss Emma Fulton. The Associated Aids Societies, or ganized in July, 1908, has increased its scope of work and usefulness during the ten years of its history and the increasing amount of friend ly support and co-operation of the citizens of Harrisburg betokens the usefulnessof the organization. '"On With Football," 1 Says Uncle Sam "Football programs for this fall at colleges and universities with arm student training corps units 'will not be Interrupted by the War' Department except where they actually would Inter fere with military training. "Protests which began to reach members of Congress against the action of an officer of the training eorps service In advising that football schedules be abandoned drew an official statement from the War Department that no such step had been authorized. On tho contrary, It was stated that tho educational Institutions would be advised formally to continue their athletic schedules without permitting them to cur tail the military course." This was tho brief response from Uncle flam to the thousands of protests against doing away with football this fall, Any school with a training system Is en titled to a representative team and the Teeh outfit expect that military work Will benefit the football work, Great universities, like Pitt, are looking forward to a very lively season, and the pros pects are that football at the big camps ai}d training stations will be even mere papular than base ball, ' .

Fair Sex to See Boxing at Motive Power Show Whisper it not too loudly, but the fact is—ladies are to have an oppor tunity to witness some honest-to goodness, real boxing in Harrisburg. That is the plan of the Motive Power Athletic Association which after a profound discussion of the matter decided to have special reserved seats for the fair sex at the huge athletic tournament which is to be held in the association's rooms on September 26. In a few days carpenters will be gin to construct a regular ring ampitheater, bleachers style, so a goodly crowd may look on and see everything. There are to be no re served seats, excepting those re served for ladies or ladies with their escorts. The important job of referee has not been assigned yet, but will go eventually either to Frank O'Brien or Lew Orimson. To-day it was an nounced that Arthur Grant, bantam weight champion in the Atlantic states, had taken employment at the works here and would be seen in the boxing events. The star bout of this show will be Tim Droney, of Lancaster, with Leo Vincent. of Philadelphia, light weights, but the program includes a number of other bouts, also of met tle.

Dickinson Will Be on a War Basis Carlisle. Pa., Sept. 16.—Dickinson College athletics will be on a war basis this year, according to the plans of the college authorities who will make the necessary readjust ments caused by the new draft and for the inclusion of the institution as one of the centers for the training of a unit of the Students Reserve Corps. . „ With a large percentage of the spare time to be devoted to military drill, coupled with the speeding-up process in the course of study, there will be less time for athletics. How ever there will be a football Sched ule, 'although it may be readjusted. There will probably be no matches calling for extensive training or long trips The football schedule as de cided upon in the spring called for nine games and this will probably be about the number to be played. The change in the selective service regulations may cause a number of other changes. While many of the men in last year's team which did not lose a game were under 21 and would have been in school again had not the age been lowered, the change In the law will result In many of those not already in service being called within a tew months.

La3t season it was Heine Zim merman who chased Eddie Collins over the plate with the run that gave the White Sex the world's title. Flack, who played wonderful ball in the three games in Chicago, did the opposite in Boston; and dropped a fly ball that let the Red Sox get !he two runs that gave them the hon- Flack is not only blamed for losing the sixth game, but he is also charg ed with bringing about the defeat in the first game in Boston, while Ty ler pitched. In that contest he was caught off first base in the opening inning, after he led off with a base hit, ani) in the third round, with only one out. he was nipped off the middle station. Not satisfied with that, he failed to play back tar enough in the fourth inning with Babe Ruth at the plate, and let the famous American League slugger get a three-base hit that beat Tyler, two men scoring on the rap- Flack's ex hibition was nothing like it was in Chicago, where he starred. Luck broke for the American Lea ' gue champions throughout the ser ies, and they acknowledged it when Manager Mitchell went into their clpbhouse and congratulated them. They said tlicy won because they out lucked his team, and that if his club had received the same breaks the glory would have gone to Chicago. There is no denying that. The only breaks the Cubs received were on Tuesday, and when they did enough hitting wit hluck to win easily be hind Jim Vaughn, who pitched mag nificent ball. It was unquestionably one of the greatest world's series ever played, according to baseball men, who have followed the sport for many years. How evenly matched the clubs were I for the glovy is shown by the figures. The Cubs scored more runs than did the visitors and also outhit them. If one were to take dope on which to . base his opinion the better club didn't win the world's championship. The Cubs scored 10 runs in the six games on 37 hits, while the Red f-ox counted nine tallies on 32 hits. Phis proves only that their batting was timed in the tough games, and those were the ones Vaughn lost through his careless pitching to Whiteman and Mclnnis in the first and second contests he lost. It also shows that the Red Sox twlrlers pitched cun ningly and effectively in the pinches, for which they deserve praise. The Cubs were sorely disappointed in not tying the series and deplored their breaks in the luck. Manager Mitchell said it was the toughest ser ies he has over seen in his eighteen years of baheball. He declared ho never saw one club get the worst breaks the way his team did and lie j never before saw a list of games in I which trifling mistakes cost ball games. It certainly was no fault of his that the Cubs iost. He did not err once in the entire series in di recting the play of his men and if they had performed atf tightly and perfectly U3 they were accustomed to in a close series they would nave romped homo with the world's cham pionship. "I'll never forget that series even if I am in 'No Man's Land,"' said Catcher Kiliefor. "I never saw or heard of one that was lost by so many tough breaks. No doubt we should be sportsmen enough to give tile winners credit, but I cannot sa.v that the better team won the series." Plan Community Sing For Red Cross Benefit New Cumbcrßiitd, Pa., Sep't. 16.

Sproul and the Republican ticket in a rous ing meeting at Doylestoxvn armory on Saturday afternoon. Bucks coun ty is normally a Republican county but men allied with the county com mittee, at the meeting held for or ganization and just preceding the public meeting, declared the county will give Sproul and all his associates on the state ticket the largest ma jority in the history of the county. The same condition, it asserted, will apply to the election of a Con gressman and to a number of legis lative candidates.
