LEBANON STAR LEADS BASKETBALL LEAGUE SCORING; CHASE GETS FREE OF CHARGES
Hal Chase Is Cleared
of Gambling Charges
The exonerating of Hal Chase
yesterday by Johnny Heydler, Na
tional League president, who acted
its Judge, shows that it is difficult
to convict a guilty ball player of
betting on a game and even more
difficult for the player to "pull any
thing."
Reported Heydler; "In substance,
the player was charged with making
wagers against his club and games
In which he participated. In Justice
to Chase, I feel bound to state that
both the evidence and records of
games of which reference was made
fully refute this accusation.
"In one game in which it was
intimated that Chase bet against his
club, the records show that in the
Bixth inning, with two men on bases
and the score 2 to 0 against his team,
Clhase hit a home run, putting Cin
cinnati one run ahead."
No matter how crafty a ball play
er, it is nearly impossible for him to
maneuver so as to throw a game,
because it must bo remembered that
two-score pair of the sharpest eyes
i'ou can find are fixed on every in
iividual move. There is no doubt that
"hase made it a point to play rotten
call in St. Louis several times when
Stallings had the team, but no one
:ould actually put it on him. He gave
lie excuse of not feeling good.
President Heydler stated in a gen
sral way that the actual charges
nvolving Chase implied that he had
>et upon games. In speaking of the
:ase after he had read his formal
inding he said that Manager Math
iwson's affidavit was a more or less
general complaint against Chase's
:onduct and talk upon the ball field
>ut that there was little which was
specific in its relation to the real
:harge upon which the trial was
lased.
"The testimony showed," said
Heydler, "that Chase acted in a fool
sh and careless manner both on the
ield and among the players and that
he club was Justified in bringing the
•harges in vigw of the many rumors
vhich arose from the loose talk of
ts first baseman. Chase did not tak
MANY ARMY MEN
ARE ENLISTING
ITHEU.S.NAVY
12.9 Per Cent, of Last Week's*
Enlistments Were Dis
charged Soldiers
Returned soldiers are enlisting in
largo numbers in the United States
Yavy, navy recruiting officials told
it the local navy recruiting station,
221 Market street, to-day. The total
jnlistments in the Eastern division
of the recruiting show that
12.9 per cent, were those of dis-j
charged soldiers.
Explaining they say: "There's a
reason. The overseas troops have
had a chance to get on the inside
Df navy life. On the trips across
they have lived close to the real
heart of the navy. A soldier re
turning on the Mongolia was heard
to remark, "the navy officers treat
their men as though they were one
of them. The navy has been good
to us on this home trip. The life
has a positive lure once it has been
tested.
"The 12.9 per cent, enlistment of
discharged soldiers in the navy also
shows the splendid work -of the
United States Employment Service,
which is co-operating with the Navy
Recruiting Service."
Continuing, the official said:
"Everybody realizes this is a day
of specialists. No one gets by in
this day and age in a slip-shod man
ner. He must know how to do a
thing and be able to tell why he
does it. The first question asked
when a person asks for a position
in civilian life is 'what special
training have you had along this
line?' Every trade or profession
has technic peculiarly its own. To
the discharged soldier or unemployed
civilian let it be said there is no ex
cuse for his being idle if he has
physical fitness, good common
sense and a desire and willingness
to learn.
"The Navy has opened a school
for machinists at Charleston, S. C.,
and a school- for electricians at
Hampton Roads, Va. Men for the
machinists' school are enlisted as
firemen, third class. While in train
ing they are paid 136.20 per month.
They also receive their clothing al
lotment, three good meals per day,
dry, comfortable quarters in which
to live and all textbooks and prac
tical working tools. In return for
this splendid chance to become pro
ficient in a very necessary trade, all
that is asked of those enlisting is a
knowledge of common fractions,
ambition to learn the machinist's
trade, energy and a strict attention
to the instructors and instruction
given.
"The subjects taken up through
the course are arithmetic, notebook
sketching, practical engineering,
theoretical engineering, clipping
and filing, drilling, pipefitting. re
pair work, brazing, tin
smithing, lathes, shapers, milling
machines and grinders. Thus it
Will be seen that one is getting prac
tically two trades, that of a machin
ist and that of an engineer.
"As a student qualifies he is ad
vanced to the next higher class and
finally graduated a machinist's mate,
first c.ass, if his final average war
rants it. Graduates have no diffi
culty in securing a second or third
class engineer's license. The Navy
Is offering a real opportunity."

his work seriously and was entirely
to blame for the position in which
he found himself. There was, how
ever, no proof that he intentionally
violated or attempted to violate the
rules in relation to tampering with
players or,in any way endeavored to
secure desired results in the outcome
of games.
"Chase testified that he had bet
on the result of a baseball game
with another player only twice in his
professional career. The first case
was many seasons ago when he was
a spectator at a League
contest while a member of an Ameri
can League team. The other wager
was made in a post season series of
1917 where he bet on his club to win
a game.
"I do not know where Chase will
play during the coming season, but
I wish to say, now that he has been
proved not guilty of the charges, I
hope the fans and others will give
him a fair, chance to overcome the
unpleasant impression which lias
been created. I feel sure that he
realizes the position in which his
foolish talk and actions has placed
him and will endeavor to atone by
taking his work seriously and play
ing the brilliant ball of which he is
capable."
Chase refused to talk when in
formed of the verdict but his law
yers issued a statement for him
which declared that legal action
would bo continued to obtain "full
redress" from the Cincinnati club
which caused his suspension "with/
out cause" and held up payment ot
his salary.
President Heydler said in his find
ings that "the interests of the public
and of the game of baseball are far
morer important than tho fate of
any individual." He declared he
would protect those interests, "no
matter what tho effect on players
or clubs."
Ileydler also served warning that
any National League player who bets
on a game, either for or against his
own team or whether or not he plays
in the game, will be expelled from
the league.
"Heads or Tails" Gave
"Doc" Cutch the Job of
Handling Pete Herman
The manager of a world-fa
mous pugilist occupies an im
portant position and when it
came to selecting a handler for
Peter Herman, bantam champion,
there were two candidates. Writ
ing to the Telegraph's sporting
editor, Herman ("Muggsy") Tay
lor, of Philadelphia, relates:
"Doc and I were both interest
ed in Herman, but as we differed
in regard to prospective matches
for the champion, we decided to
toss a coin, to see which of us
would be his 'real' manager,
while the other stepped out. The
coin was tossed in the lobby of
the Vendig Hotel, Philadelphia,
by Bill "Kid" Gleason, the new
manager of the Chicago White
Sox baseball club, at 7 p. m.,
Tuesday, January 28. 'Doc' Cutch
called 'head' and 'head' It was
when Gleason looked at it on the
marble floor. That made 'Doc' the
champion's manager.
"I agreed to send a notice to
the different sporting editors
around the country, notifying
them just why and how it hap
pened. Cutch, Herman and I are
parting the best of friends and I
wish them both the best of luck."

tribute to Captain Hobey Baker, the
famous Princeton athlete recently!
killed In France, was paid by Presi
dent John G. Hibben, of Princeton
University, at memorial services here

"The deep feelipg of our hearts
to-day finds but poor expression in
words of our admiration and love
for Hobart Baker," said Dr. Hibben.
"Ever since he entered the univer
sity as a young freshman he has
been the pride of Princeton. We bad
hoped soon to welcome him home
with his honors and his laurels and
it was with a passion of grief, that
the great company of his friends
heard of his death. At the close of
his university career he had not only
the reputation of a gallant athlete,
but the fair record of a conscientious
and consistent devotion to the daily
tasks connected with his academic
work."
Captain Baker was killed in an
airplane accident several weeks after
the armistice was signed.

us. The program called for a se

in Luna Rink, but made no announce

t® play.
Accompanying the team as a pre

became so agitated as the husky Mid
dletowners forged ahead that he car

A Grand Cleanup of All
OVERCOATS
We have decided not to carry over any Over
coats so we will act accordingly. In order to clear
them out at once we will offer
Any $17.50 Overcoat in Stock at
$12.50
And any $22.50 Overcoat at
$17.50
Please remember that it is not the Wonder
policy to have fake sales and every garment was
made in our own factory. The original price
would be a considerable saving over what you can
buy them for elsewhere, so that the added saving
of $5.00 on every garment should move these coats
out fast. If you want to save money come in at
once as they will move out fast. •
Please remember that we opened our store in
Harrisburg almost five years ago and we have
never advertised a fake sale of any kind. Our
thousands of well pleased customers will testify
to this, so if you want one of these splendid values
come in at once. "First come, first served."
