CAMP HILL OPENS BASKETBALL SEASON; HEYDLER WANTS CO-OPERATION IN BASEBALL I
Camp Hill to Cut Loose
Tomorrow Night With First
Basketball Game of Season
The Camp Hill High school will
open Its basketball season Friday
evening', December 13, in a game with
Oberlin High school. As a result of
stern practice a fairly good team has
bgen developed by Camp Hill, al
though Captain Nell, H. Harison and
* Bowman are tho only ones with ex
perience.
Competition Is lively enough, for
squads of boys have applied for a
chance to show form on the 'Varsity
v five, so that no berth is guaranteed
lest some lad makes good and crowds
out a veteran.
Cheer leading will be handled by
Miss Carrie Thompson, Miss Carolyn
Straub, Ed. Hamme nnd Robert
Jones. It will be their duty to Jazz
up things with cheer and song. It
has been proved that the girls' ap
plause inspires the boys to go over the
top.
To-morrow's contest should be
worth seeing, and tho management
hopes that the "West Shore folks will
turn out strongly to give the young
folks encouragement, thus helping to
develop school spirit.
All students have the privilege of
purchasing season tickets, which will
admit them to all games. Admission
for other people will be nominal. The
game will be called at 8 o'clock.
AROUND THE-BASES
Of all the tales from this gluistly
war
Most pitiful, that, the fate of the
Czar;
Foul murdered, wdtli all his family
fair;
'While he who caused it in luxury
rare
Picks out Ills own castle, free front
cure.
The mills of the gods grind slowly
there!
Golf promises to be the national I
game sooner or later. Hear this ex- j
travagant project: The Siwanoy j
Country Club at Mount Vernon, N. !
Y., an organization in exigence since |
1893, has decided to purchase,, the |
links at Mount Vernon, which the !
club's members now are using, ac- j
cording to the terms of a lease. The ;
club has been leasing the iinks for i
tour years or more and. they now!
will be taken over under an arrange
ment which provides that 350 mem- j
bers shall put up $l,OOO each, so that j
the total subscription will be $350,- j
000. The first payments on the sub
scriptions will begin next March.
The decision to buy the links was
reached by the governing body of
the club last Saturday.
New York, Dec. 12.—The Metro

Shame on you bachelors! Joe

What ~ Mor Could He Wish?
,-VYou ask for my daughter? What
are your prospects young man? Do
you own the house you live in?"
"No, I rent it, but I have five tons
of coal in the cellar."
"Take her."—Louisville Courier-
Journal.
San Francisco, Dec. 12. —The Chi
cago Cubs have closed the deal for
Charley Pick, the man who went to
them from the Seals last fall and
played such good bull in the world's
series. Dr. Strub was rather hoping
the Cubs would fail to come through
with the $4,500, for he would rath
er have Pick than the money, but
Manager Mitchell, of the Cubs, liked
Pick's work so well that ho has
closed the deal.
Pick was the best third baseman
in the Coast League, but he was put
on second for the Cpbs and was a
star there. Manager Graham would
have welcomed Pick's return here,
to help steady some of his young
players. Pick is not a bit enthusias
tic about the big leagues, and would
rather play out here, but the big
money is up there, so he will take a
:hance.

Hearst tells you how to get a char

i valho, his office boss, March 3, 1917,
he said:
"If situation quiets down, please
remove color flags front first page
and little flags on inside pages, re
i serving these for special occasions
; of a warlike or patriotic kind. 1 think
| they have been good for this week,
: giving us a very American character
and probably helping sell papers,
but to continue effective they should
be reserved for occasions."

BIG LEAGUES TO
GET TOGETHER
President Heydler Urges Co*
operation So All May
Make Money
As the National League finished its
annual session yesterday", the Ameri
can League began Its annual confab
at Chicago, and the prospects are they
will get together shortly in a gen
eral pow-wow. John. Heydler, the
newly elected National president, em
phasized in his speech:
"We are now more concerned with
the future, and how the game is to
be generally conducted: also that the
sport will be safeguarded and perpet
uated, and those financially -Inter
ested will have a living chance after
paying the players adequately and
fairly.
• "Our problems are not of the game
Itself—for that is in good favor here
and wherever any soldiers and sail
ors have'taken It, But In concentrated
form, our real problems consist of
placing the business end of the gAme
on a business basis.
f "Every club in a championship.race,
and representing, as it does, opJh of
eight big communities, should have a
chance to make a profit.
"Assuredly the tide has turned. It
is for all of us—National Leaguers
and American Leaguers, who repre
sent only the big cities from the At
lantic to the Mississippi, and the
minor leaguers, who speak for all
the rest of this great country as well
as for our Canadian friends—to get"
fogether, take advantage of favoring
conditions and start the baseball
craft in the rigkt direction."
The feature of incidents was the
firing of Pat Moran from his Phila
delphia Job, regarding whltjh Owner
Baker said:
"Anybody who thinks he can man
age a ball club and is willing to'live
in Philadelphia is eligible for the job,
i and that's all I have to say about it
I Just now."
| Wild Bill Donovan' and Mild Bill
I Shettsline are the two most likely
candidates. '

American League to Bar
Players Who Deserted
to Join Shipyard Teams
By Associated Press
Chicago, Dec. 12.—The status of
baseball players who deserted their
clubs last season to Join teams in
shipyard leagues will be one of the
problems up for settlement at the an
nual meeting of the club owners of
the American League here to-day.
These players. It was said, will be
barred from playing in the league.
The length of the 1919 season, the
opening date and the player limit for
each team are other questions to be
considered, as well as the personnel
of the National Baseball Commission.
Thg schedule question, however,
probably will have to he settled at
a joint conference of the two major
leagues.
The club owners apparently favor
the "spring training trip as usual,"
despite the reports that the National
Leaguers were inclined to curtail or
omit them entirely. Two American
League clubs, Boston and Cleveland,
are negotiating with th Chicago Na
tional League club to make a tour of
California next spring.
Retrenchment will he the policy of
the 1919 campaign. President John
son said. There was much, talk of
trades among the club owners.
