10 Happenings of a Day in Central Pennsylvania WOULD HAVE MEN ON TICKETS GET INTO BALL GAME Gettysburg's Baseball Race Is Exciting; Court House Officials to Contest Gettysburg, Pa., Aug. 2S. —With a neck and neck race on between the first and second wards in the Gettysburg Ward baseball league excitement is at high pitch. In terest is greater than it was during the days of the Blue Ridge League a few years ago. A strictly ama teur organization, the rabid fans turn out from seven hundred to a thousand strong to see the team play and rooting for the favorites is always in evidence. With all this interest the fans are strong for the settlement of the question of su premacy between different organ izations. Accordingly, the court house officials, under the leader ship of Sheriff Hartman, and the battlefield, headed by Frank Hersh, will meet on the diamond as soon as an open date in the league schedule can be found. It now is suggested that the candidates for office of the two political parties meet for a game before the pri maries. The following lineup has been suggested: For the Democrats —J. W. Har man, catcher; J. C. Reinecker, pitcher; Harry M. Keller, first base; C. C. Bream, second base; Harry B. Beard, third base; Walter C. Sny der, short stop; George A. Haar, left field; George B. Pittenturf, center field, and A. J. Guise, with the rest of the men fighting for of fice as utility men, the left overs on the Republican list also to be used in utility roles. The Republican lineup would be: Edward H. Benner, catcher; Charles H. Wilson, pitcher; William J. Eden, first base; Reuben H. Lupp. second base; Jacob F. Taylor, third base: William O. Anderson, short stop; Henry J. Gulden, left field; T. F. Rhodes, center field, and Ed ward C, Keefer, right field. This would insure some spectacular playing, especially at the first base •corner, where both men are crip ples, Keller having one arm off at the shoulder and Eden having but one hand.

The Secretary said that the prop osition was to cut down the num ber of meetings thirty per cent be cause of the lack of funds and to increase value 100 per cent. Co operation of State College has been assured and county farm bureaus and other agricultural bodies will be asked to be represented on the com mittees in charge which will be giv en a large measure of home control.
