"LEFTY" PIERCE AND JOE McCARTY HEROES OF STEELTON'S VICTORY OVER BETHLEHEM
6,000 Fans See Steelton Win
the Deciding Game From Bethlehem

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;

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

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.

FLACK THE'GOAT'
OF WORLD SERIES
Luck Broke With Boston Red
Sox, the Managers
Agree
There never was a world cham
pionship series without its "goat,"
and Max Flack has been officially
selected for that niche in the recent
fray. 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."

BUCKS COUNTIANS
GREET SPROUL
One of Original Counties
Makes Plain That It Is Going
to Roll Up a Big Vote
Bucks county Republicans pledged
fealty to Senator William C. 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. The sentiment
that the Sixty-sixth Congress will be
Republican was strongly expressed.
At the meeting of the County Com
mittee, Hiram H. Keller, District At
torney of Bucks county, was re
elected chairman and A. H. Clayton,
secretary. Accompanying Senator
Suroul was Mrs. Sproul and there
were a number of other women in
the party. A committee of thirty
prominent Bucks county women,
with Mrs. Richard Watson as chair
man, served as a reception commit
tee. ,
The opening gun of the big cam
paign was "fired" at the rally held
at Collegeville, Montgomery county,
last Saturday, when the same speak
ers, supplemented by Senator Pen
rose, emphasized the importance of
Republican victory this fall in order
that the next Congress shall be Re
publican and composed of capable
businessmen who will be< able to
handle the enormous economic and
political problems after tho war. The
second meeting was scheduled for
Bucks county primarily because of
the importance of the Eighth Con
gressional district (Bucks and Mont
gomery counties) resulting from the
enormous strides made industrially
with the absorption of the Delaware
river frontage for shipyards and be
cause of the big majority accorded
Senator Sproul at the primaries.
In his address, Senator Sproul em
phasized the conditions which he
laid down at the Collegeville meet
ing as related to the absolute need
of capable Republicans to carry into
effect the Republican principles
which will be needed to meet after
the war conditions; assured Bucks
countians that his administration, if
elected, will be a purely business ad
ministration, and emphasized the
conditions which will mean an
"American peace" to end the war.
Senator Beidleman's address was
statistical in the main, emphasizing
the great part the state is playing in
national affairs and in tho carrying
out the war plans of the govern
ment. Auditor General Snyder con
fined his address to figures and sta
tistics, emphasizing the belief that
the Sixty-sixth Congress will be Re
publican. Congressman Henry Win
field Watson and Senator Clarence J.
Buckman, candidate for re-election,
and the candidates for the Legisla
ture from Bucks county also spoke.

through Austria, it was officially
stated yesterday, best finds its ans

speech delivered last April.
"Force, force to the utmost, force
without stint or limit, the righteous

That was the President's answer
then, and it was reiterated to-day
that it is his answer now.
No one doubts that it is the answer
of all the triumphant Allies.
