Central Iron and Steel League's Schedule
The Central Iron and Steel Company has the right idea of how to keep employes sunny-hearted, for every
year thev co-operate in helping the baseball league, made up of the husky workmen who cio not let hard labor
dull their skill and strategy in the noble pastime. These games will have their introduction to-day if the weather
be good, and they will continue steadily through to late August. The fast playing develops many stars at the big
plant, ana their cleverness and the rivalry of various clubs make a real diversion, for the company believes that
all work knd no play makes Jack a dull boy. There is no time for "spangles'' and any formality. The men hop
from the steel stuff to the diamond and a big crowd always remains to witness the classy action. Many plant
of industry would do well to note the effect of this co-operation in wholesome sport twixt employer and employe.

TIARRISBTJRG TELEGRAPH!
MIKE DON LIN MAKES PLEA
FOR RETIRED BALLPLAYER
Bancroft Last of Real Veterans of Game Having Active Con
nection With Sport; Interesting Incidents
in Career of Infielder
When Mike Dunlin was here re
cently as an actor, he complained
that there was "no heart" in pro
fessional baseball, as there is in the
theatrical profession, where they
take care of old and indigent actors.
But It is the exception, perhaps,
which perhaps makes the rule.
Frank Bancroft is not decrepit by
any means; he is the dean of base
ball officials, however, and probably
would not mind being retired on a
good pension. He was laid off re
cently by the Clncinatti Club, which,
however, docs many queer things,
but the fans demanded him back, for
ho is figure in the pastime in the
capacity of business manager. Be
sides ability and steadiness "Banny"
as ho is familiarly called, has a fine
senso of humor which helps greatly
In arduous season trudge. On one
occasion. Owner Garry Herman
ordered him to permit in free all
theatrical folk on a Saturday. A
man came to the gate and said he
unswered that list, but had no iden
tification card. "I'm the India Rub
ber Man," ho explained, "working
down at the vaudeville show."
"How do I know?" probed the
business manager, who is fond of
telling how his own faco stretched
when the man put a finger in either
side of his mouth and pulled It near
ly a foot In length. "You may walk
right in"' he Invited emphatically.
Bancroft is tho last of the real
voterans of the gamo still having an
active connection with it. Beside
him men like Arthur Irwin are real
youngsters. It was forty-two years
ago that he entered tho game as a
team manager, and ho had been be
fore that, a player.
In 1877 "Banny" concluded he
could show 'em a few tricks In base
ball, and ho took the management of
the New Bedford team. He got to
gether some team too, and he led
it well and soon ho was on the road
to fame as tho combination Connie
Mack and John McGraw of his day.
In tho team he assembled for New
Bedford, back in 1877, were such
players as Jake Evans, famous after
ward as the greatest right fielder;
George Gore, the great outfielder,
later of Anson's Chicago White
Stockings; George Washington Brad
ley, later the leading pitcher of the
American Association: Harry Stovey,
later king of left fielders and base
runners; Jim Mutrle, who later
managed the original New York
Giants, and Reilly, later one of the
great catchers of the National Lea
gue.
On this New Bedford team Jim
Mutrie, afterward the Giants' man
ager, officiated as both captain and
shortstop, and was paid SGO per
month for his services.
For the same team "Banny" en
gaged Harry Stovey, afterward a
great star, at SSO per month, while
George Washington Bradley was
paid the top salary of SIOO per
month. Reilly, Gore, Roger Connor
and the outfielders all received SSO
per month.
FORITrOLiD EFFORTS
AT DOMINEERING
Washington, May 24.—1n con
nection with the fact that Presi
dent Wilson will demand that the
Senate ratify the treaty of Ver
sailles plus the covenant for a lea
gue of nations without crossing a
"t" or dotting an "1," certain ex
pressslons from the book of Mr.
Wilson on Congressional Govern
ment are noteworthy. In the chap
ter on the Senate, there appears
this, referring to the President's
power to force the Senate to do his
will:
"His only pot.cr of compelling
compliance on the part of the Senate
lies in his initiative in negotiation,
which afTords him a chance to get
the country into such scrapes, so
pledged in the view of the world to
certain courses of action, that the
Senate hesitates to bring about the
appearance of dishonor which would
follow its refusal to ratify the rash
promises or to support the indis
creet threats of the Secretary of
State."

In 1879 Banny organized the Hop
Bitters team of Rochester, N. Y.,
took It to New Orleans, and then
across to Cuba, where he helped
wonderfully in introducing the game
to those parts.
In 1880 Bancroft went to Worces
ter, taking with him Arthur Irwin,
who later became renowned as the
captain and short fielder of the
world's champion Providence team.
In 1881 and 1882 Bancroft manag
ed the Detroit National league team,
and In 1884 assembled the Provi
dence National League team, which
that year won the first world * cham
pionship from the Metropolitans of
New York. Then followed engage
ments at Rochester, Philadelphia,
Indianapolis and Milwaukee, until
1890, when he went to Cincinnati,
where he has lived'ever since.
As a manager of baseball teams in
the early days, Bancroft had many
a strange experience. On one occa
sion he booked an exhibition gume
for the old time Troy team, in a
little city in Massachusetts, called
Berkeley.
When the Berkeley manager ask
ed for terms, Bancroft wired-back
80-20, meaning, of course, 80 per
cent for the Troy team and 20 pet
cent for the Berkeley.
There was a big crowd out, and,
according to Bancroft's figuring, the
Troys had S7OO coming to them.
The Berkeley manager, however,
handed him solemnly a check for
$80.20, and showed Bancroft his
wire to back up his idea of the divi
sion. It was with some difficulty
that Bancroft switched tho division.
Must llavc Been Sonic Show
On another occasion Bancroft, in
the winter time, got up a benefit for
a charitable fund in New Bedford.
On that occasion he got George
Wright, then a noted player, to give
an exhibition on a rowing machine,
while he had Sam Wright, George's
brother, swinging clubs.
At the same show he had Harry
Stovey do a negro impersonation and
Curry Foley sing songs, while he in
duced George Gore and Jim Mutrie
to take part in a ten mile walk. And
Bancroft managed all of these affairs
in fine style, and did It all for char
ity.
The team which he took to Cuba
in 1879 included Foley and Nichols,
pitchers; Bennett .and Bushong,
catchers; Sullivan, first base; Arthur
Whitney, third base; Arthur Quinn,
short field; Wood, left, and Knight,
right field. The positions of second
base and center field were fillci by
the change catcher and pitcher.
The first trip to Havana was not a
success financially, but it paved the
way and made other visits of Ameri
can teams profitable.
Bancroft learned to play basoball
as a soldier in tho Union army of the
'6os. He took it up as a profession
when the war ended. He has been
in it ever since. He has seen all the
game's ups'and downs, and he fig
ures on living and mixing in it un
til it is a worldwide institution.

Vivian Martin appears in "You

Theater to-day
"Vou Never finw only. The gen-
Sueh a Girl" eral idea of the
at the Regent story is the pre
sentation of a re
sourceful young girl who works her
way out of a difficult situation. But
the story itself is delightfully whim
sical and full of comedy, but even
more so, of love and romantic ad
venture.
That haters of women have no
place in society and that their pre
tensions are insincere, is adequately
proved by Marguerite Clark in her
splendid characterization of the role
of Sylvia Weston, in her latest Para
mount photoplay, "Three Men and a

THE IIACH FESTIVAL AT
LEHIGH UNIVERSITY
Or. J. Fred Wollc, conductor of the
Bethlehem Bach Choir, reports that
he is greatly pleased with the pro
gress of the singers in preparation
for the fourteenth Bach Festival to
be held at. Lehigh University, June
8-7. The entire chorus seems to be
devoting itself to the work with more
enthusiasm and cnorgV than ever
before.
The choir now includes a number
of soldiers who have returned from
service. They are perfectly at home
in the "Mass in B Minor" which has
been the annual second-day offering
of the Bethlehem singers since the
choir was founded in 1900. The sol
diers are, however, requiring special
study in learning the eight cantatas
that will be rendered on the tirst day
of the Festival. These are: Friday,
4 p. m., "The Lord Is My Shepherd,"
"i With My Cross-Staff Gladly Wan
der," "O each Me Lord My Days to
Number," and "The Lord Is a Sun
and Shield"; Friday, 8 p. m., "Bide
With Us," "Strike, Oh Strike, Long-
Looked-for-Hotir," "Thou Guide of
Israel," and "O, Light Lverlasting."
Due to train schedules, the time
of the second session of the Bethle
hem Bach Festival on Saturday, June
7, will be 4.30 p. m. instead of 5
o'clock. This will enable attendants
from New York, Philadelphia, and
points east and west to take more
favorable trains.
The advance sale of tickets for the
Festival, to be held at Lehigh Uni
versity on June 6 and 7, is surpassing
anything in recent years and an ex
ceptionally large attendance is ex
pected.
PEEPS BEHIND THE SCENES
Kight actors and actresses from the
Majestic Theater collected $173 in the
interest of the Salvation Army drive
iat noon, through several unique
stunts.
First they secured a truck, had a
[ piano placed on it, then Miss Helen
Miller offered to take her highly
prized xylophone along. They went
to the Salvation Army headquarters
in the Gilbert building and sold
doughnuts at $1 each.
For each $25 contributed Miss
Miller played a solo.
Could you have the opportunity of
talking to various actors while they
are in their dressing rooms making
up you Would hear some peculiar
stories of how they entered vaude
ville.
This morning. Simon Myers, the
black-face comedian in "Half P.ast
Two" was telling of his troubles in
trying to land a job in vaudeville.
Myers is a southerner. He hails
from Alabama and has played vaude
ville below the Mason-Dixon line for
six years. One day he decided to
play New York. He went to Broad
way, but it kept him so busy dodging
jitneys and trolley cars, that he failed
to even ask for a job the first two
weeks.
Tired of looking for a Broadway
job he packed his trunk and was
about to leave when he met "Bob"
Manchester, one of the first men who
ever entered vaudeville. Bob gave
him a job. It was only a minor job
to start with, but within three weeks
Myers had made such a hit on the
White trail, he was booked as a
beadliner. Each summer Myers spends
three weeks in the South, among the
borne in the blood darkies, merely to
get new material for his act.
While Sime doesn't claim to be tho
best comedian on the stage he does
claim to bo the best fisherman in the
business.
And to prove it he has agreed to
spend a week of his vacation this year
with Art McWaters. of McWaters and
Tyson, merely for the sake of show
ing McWaters he doesn't know how
to catch big fish.

Heavy Hail and Rain Storms
Do Great Damage in York
County Farm District
Goldslroro, Pa., May 24. Twcf
persons were injured, one of them
seriously and nine head of livestock
perished, as a result of storm which
passed over York county, at an early
hour on Thursday evening. Three
buildings were struck by bolts, but
only one fire was reported.
Denevillc Pfeiffer, 84 years old,
is in a critical condition, as a re
sult of burns, his clothes igniting
when he attempted to outen the
blaze in the hay mow in the barn
on his farm, a short distance west
of town, after it had been struck
by lightning. The aged man was
at the barn when the bolt struck
it. He ran to the haymow to ex
tinguish the blaze which followed.
He was soon enveloped in flames.
■ He ran from the barn, his clothing
in flames. David Yinger, who was
! passing at the time, with the as
! sistanee of Mr. Pfeiffer's daughter,
! tore the clothing from his body,
| probably saving his life. He i
I badly burned, however. With the
j barn, which was totally destroyed,
j were burned eight head of livestock,
j three hogs and five cattle; also a
bushel of oats.
Mrs. Gertrude Courdeway, of Port
Wayne, Ind., visiting at the home of
her cousin, Harvey Spangler, at
Roundtown, near here, was severely'
injured by being struck by a bolt of
lightning. Mrs. Courdeway was in
the act of lowering a window when
the bolt came through the window.
She started back, and catching hold
of a ooden bed, having a spring
mattress which was electrified, Mrs.
Courdeway's right leg came in con
tact with the spring. The shoe was
ribbed from her foot and her cloth
ing was torn in shreds. Considerable
damage was done to the Spangler
home.
At Glen Rock the barn of Charles
Snyder was struck by a bolt. A
calf that was tied near where tho
bolt entered was killed.
Considerable damage was don©
to the crops and fields in the vicin
ity of Wellsvillc and Dover. Entire
gardens were wiped out by the heavy
rains of the past few days. Hail
accompanied the storm on Thurs
day night, and pellets the size of a
walnut are said to have fallen at
some places.
Between Spring Grove and Han
over, the fields were almost cov
ered with hail, which fell for a
period of fully fifteen minutes, dam
aging fruit considerably, it is re
ported.
