TECH PLAYS LEBANON ON FRIDAY; FRANKLIN & MARSHALL READY FOR SWARTHMORE
AROUND THE BASES
In the cozy but cool parlor of an
Allison Hill home, cheerful daugh
ter with some friends lustily chanted
"Keep the Home Fires Burning."
OtU in the hall "Pop" was heard
teJ%>honing something like this:
y 'How the blankety-blank-blank am
I goin' to keep 'em burning if you
don't got that four tons of coal to
my house? Yes, you did; promised
to have it here yesterday." Chorus:

Lewlstown, Pa., Oct. 10.—Mrs.
Fred Fish, of Lewlstown, has taken
out licenses for herself and husband
to hunt this season, and says she ex
pects to enjoy a couple weeks' camp
ing In the open for big and little
game.
| Mrs. Fish has gained quite a repu
tation as a breeder of tame hares
•* and has one in her burrow that
weighs eighteen pounds. In taking
out her license she said the cotton
tail would have the advantage of her
as her sympathies went with the
little animals with which she was
brought in constant contact.
Probably one of the quickest pro
motions on record in the army has
been that of Ed. (Strangler) Lewis,
now a top sergeant at Camp Grant.
Lewis gained the promotion, thanks
to a display of courage the first day
he entered the camp.
The famous wrestler was lined up
with hundreds of other draftees,
* baggage in hand, when two husky
uniformed men looking the liqe over
began making fun of the recruits.
Giving Lewis the once over, one of
them remarked, "Pipe the fat man."
while the others laughingly said.
'He sure looks like a prize porker."
Lewis flushed with rage, dropped
hip grip and walked over to the first
of the camp jesters, picked him up
bodily, twisted him upside down and
bounced his head on the ground,
leaving him there, while he took a
headlock on the other and threw him
ten feet over the ground and then
asked the onlookers if they wanted
to sample any of his work. Getting
'• no response, Lewis again joined the
line.

versity coach, says rowing is done

To the Editor:
Sir: I am a girl of nearly seven
teen summers. Not long ago I n.et a
corporal of the Marine Corps. He
went several times with me and 1
Invited him nearly every other Sun
day to dinner. He has also given
his Marine ring to me. I wrote him
and got no answer. I have neither
seen nor heard from him for a long
I time. Please advise me what to do,
as I love him dearly. H has also
told me that he loved me.
I I can get lots of fellows but Ma
! rines aways interested me, and I
jam a working girl and my parents
I don't mind me having one for a fel
jlow. They don't seem like other sol-
Idlers. Please tell me how I could
make one love me.

The editor replied to this, suggest
ing that country girl was "too
ianxious," but we sympathize with
'her because no one has been able
jto tell exactly where a Marine be-
I longs.
j At San Francisco, recently, some
I one presented a trophy for the first
sailor to finish In the big Dipsea
races. The committee awarded the
trophy to' Albert Pinther, a marine.
But Fred Murphy, the Olympic Club
boy, who is a chief petty officer in
the navy, protested and remarked
that a member of the marines is not
to be regarded as a sailor. Big Chief
Fltzpatrick and Secretary Vincent
Finnegan dodged the issue. And they
have passed the buck Until the prob
lem is answered the trophy will be
withheld. As a matter of fact, the
marines are under the authority of
the Navy Department. But that
doesn't seem to answer the question.

: Swarthmore Is Likely to Find
Lancaster Team in
j- Fighting Shape
j Lancaster football patrons are look
j ing forward to Saturday's game be
| tween Franklin and Marshall and
j Swarthmore with ill-concealed glee,
j They believe that the White and Blue,
| under Coach Weller, will surprise
•Swarthmore. although it Is known to
I have a heavy team. Weller knows
: that the line has always been the
enemy's strong point, and he has been
working the F. and M. lads to over
come this.
"Jake" is placing his hopes for the
I line in Good and Bucher, both tackles
I big, husky mountains of men. who
j are the heaviest on the team. These
men. Weller says, are not only heavy
I and strong, but they are both speedy
I Others on the line will be Weaver
J and Morrison at ends and Madison
| and SchafTner at •guards. Who will
! fill the center's position is a prob-
I lem not yet decided.
! It is the backfleld that will spring
j tl\e surprise. Marshall surprised foot
! ball fans last year with his speedy
: and heady work behind the line. He
was a master at offensive and even
better on the defensive. This year
he has lost none of his "pep." As
leader of the Blue and White team he
i has even more responsibility. Great
i hopes are being placed in him. The
' two Mellingers. with "Doc" at quar-
I ter. are others'who will aid in open
j ing the surprise packet. Both of
j them are speedy backfield workers.
! They are yearlings this year, but

Verily, the way of the transgressor
is hard. . Word comes that "Jack"
Johnson, the negro heavyweight, who
made a fortune in the ring while
holder-of the world's championship, is
facing poverty and ready to take the
full count. The big negro, after losing
his title to Jess Willard in Havana,
left for Spain with 30,000 "iron men"
in his pocket. But now Johnson, who
always was known as a good spender,
is about ready to turn in his bank

earnings in the ring cannot be cited
here, but in all fairness to his powers

Yankee Shotguns Doing
Deadly Damage at Front:
"Germany has curtly Informed the ,
United Sttaes that any American >
taken prisoner who has a shotgun or j
shotgun ammunition on his person j
will forfeit his life," reminds Petbr P. i
Carney.
"This is just the same as informing,
the United States government that
they do not like the trench guns—es- j
pecialiy in the hands of Americans. ■
These Americans learned to use shot- I
guns at the gun club and were profiel- i
ent in scattering the shot Ijefore join
ing the colors.
"The trench gun does an Irreparable;
amount of damage to the German •
cause. We might insert at this point
that the German cause is not a wholly i
popular one in the United States. j
"German Kultur gloated over the
invention of poison gas, the cutting'
off of hands and arms of children, '
etc., but when the Americans bring
into the war a nice little subduer in 1
the trench shotgun the Germans cry
"barbarians" at us. This brings to
mind that old and true* remark, 'there
is no accounting for tastes, etc.'
"Kaiser Bill, Von Hindy, et al„ 1
didn't figure that the United States
would cut much of a figure in this'
war. They were assured of this by!
Von Tirpitz. But when the Americans I

and have been doing it ever since, the I

" 'Above everything else, it is said,
our short-barreled shotguns hurt the |
Huns' feelings the- worst, but at that i

sprayers to amuse him. and while |
their use may not be gentlemanly, this \

Diamond Vets Recall
First World's Series
There was an Impromptu cel
ebration by ncveral old baseball
players and funa In Newark re
cently over tho /act that thirty
throe years ago Newark was
made prominent In the baseball
world by Its representative team
defeating the world's champion
Providence Grays by a score of
1 to 0.
John F. Coogan. a veteran
player of those days, was the
leader In the celebration that
brought back recollections of
the oldtlmers.
The game was played on Sep
tember 30, 1885. "The far-famed
Grays of Providence had won the
world's cahmplonshlp In October,
1884, by defeating the old Mcts
of New York City, who were the
champions of tho American As
sociation.
That world's series, the first
ever played, took place on the
old Polo grounds at Fifth avenue
and One Hundred and Tenth
street, and the Grays won three
straight games, Charley Rad
hourne pitching all of them. The
first game resulted in a score of
C to 0; the second, 3 to 1, and
the third, 13 to 2.
Radbourne, at that time, was
at the height of his baseball
glory. He was the most noted
pitcher in the country and well
deserved his honors.
Tim Keefe was the old Mets
pitcher In the first two gatpes.
He held the Grays to four hits in
the first game and to five in the
second. In the third' game Mel
Becannon was in the Mets box
and was hit safely 13 times.
Radbourne's record was a sur
prise considering that the Mets
were a splendid hitting aggrega
tion. The latter made two- safe
hits In the first contest, three in
the second and five In the third.
On the Grays' team were:
Hines, c. f.; Canole, 1. f.; Rad
bourne, p.: Start, lb.; Farrell,
2b.; Irwin, s.; Gilligan, c.y Denny,
3b; Radford, r. f.
The Mets lineup was: Nelson,
s.; Brady, r. f.. Estcrbrook, 3b;
Roseman, c. f.; Orr, lb; Troy, 2b;
Reifschager, c.; Kennedy, p.:
Keefe, ,p.; Becannon, Foster
Lynch and Holbert.
It will be noticed that Rad
bourne, although a'pitcher, was
third in the batting order. He
was some hitter.
Arthur Irwin, shortstop, is still
in baseball, having been manager
of the Rochester club of the In
ternational League the past sea
son.
"Old Joe" Start is still alive,
being proprietor of a roadhouse
Just outside of Providence. R. I,
Jerry Denny is now living In
Bridgeport, Conn. He attended
the opening game of the National
League championship Beason at
the Polo grounds last April.
Of the old Mets, "Dasher"
Troy, Jack Lynch, Jimmy (Chief)
Rosemam Mel. Becannon and
Manager Jim Mutrie, are living
in Greater New York. Tim
Keefe is a resident of Cambridge,
Mass., and Billy Holbert Is living
near Baltimore.
Giants to Have New
Owners Is Latest Rumoi
New York, Oct. 10. —The Nev

hands before the December basebal
meetings here, it was learned fron
an authoritative source last night
Harry N. Hempstead, president o
the club, is known to be eager to sel
the outfit, and is at present consid
ering a tentative oner made him bj
a prominent New York business
man.
Controlling Interest in the Giant!
is held by Mrs. John T. Brush, widow
of the late head of the club, and bj
Mrs. Harry N. Hempstead, a daugh
ter of Mrs. Brush. Minor stockhold
ers are comparatively few, and, it ii
said, Manager John J. McGraw pos
sesses about twenty shares.
Hempstead became president ol
the club upon the death of his fath
er-in-law, John T. Brush, in Novem
ber, 1912. While the Giants have
been a paying proposition for more
than a decade, Hempstead has sev

John Bull Fears Yankee Slang
But Fair Nurse Inhales It
My word! Here's a rum go from
dear old England, where the high
brow critics have been warning the
native of John Bull-land not to take
up American slang, lest he help de
vitalize pure English. One Cam
bridge professor took up a whole
column squaking against the use of
"hike" for walk. "Alluring it may
be" says he "but we must guard our
well of Anglo-Saxon with never ceas
ing watchfulness." He cautions
particularly that baseball "Jargon"
may not Inflict Itself on the sacred
isle.
And right on his heels comes a
dear little English nurse girl who is
so captivated with a big husky Yank
battler and his lingo that she goes
to the trouble of taking down his
chatter verbatim and sending It to
a friend on this side. You can see
she must have been Inhaling the
nifty lingo, also the sllnger of it.
Says she:
"Sammy is in my ward and I like
him. His face he describes as 'one
of the sort only a mother could love,
i but somehow, lantern-jawed and
high-cheeked as It Is, it appeals to
me.
"Even more than Ills face I like
his conversation. His experience
during the war are, I suppose, much
the same as those of other men; 1
his mode of relating them is pecu
i liarly his own. The picturesque
: imagery with which he adorns his
| speech may be an old story 'ln God's
: own country'—to me it is a thing
of wonder and a Joy forever. He
came over 'the big drink' some
months ago. He had a pleasant
voyage, saw no "tin fish' and had
plenty to eat—'six meals a day,
three up and three down.' On arri
val at the port they got Into 'the
dinkiest little train ever.' Before It
started the captain asked for a key
to wind it up with. Sammy says
that personally he intends to take
one home as a charm to hang on
his watch chain.
"They went Into camp, where they
spent their time 'hiking* about the
countryside. The 'eats' here were
not over good. They were given tea
j 'which tasted like the water Noah
L kept afloat In' and Ash 'that was
never caught, but must have given
itself up.' However, they made
their motto 'Work like Helen B.
Happy,' and stuck It out bravely.
The one thing that really 'got their
goat' was having to sleep on 'terra
flrma.' That, Sammy says, is Latin
for 'terribly hard.'
"Ultimately he and his compan
ions crossed to the front. The
I country pleased Sammy, but lie
| found the language difficult and the
French people slow of comprehen
sion. On one occasion he wanted
a pair of duck shoes, so he went in
to a bootmaker's and quacked—but
he couldn't get the old dame 'wise'
to it.
"For the fight that put him out
of action Sammy says his lieutenant
was responsible. *He was sure tired
of his position and crazy on becom
ing a captain or an angel.' Sammy
was ready enough to help, but a
Bochc shell Intervened and insisted
on sending in his name with an
application 'for immediate transfer
to the flying corps.' Hence his
presence in the hospital.
"It is my duty to give Sammy his
letters, an to-day as he read a vol
uminous epistle his face brightened
to such an extent that I was forced
to inquire what good tidings had
arrived. He hesitated, then grinned,
'I don't mind telling you, nurse,' he
said. 'lts my wife writing, and from
! what she says I calculate when I
get home there'll be something be
sides a fence running around my
little place in Seattle.'
"Sammy goes to-morrow and I
shall miss him badly. He himself
