GILL TRAINING
FOR WOLGAST
These Boys Meet at Stcelton
in Near Future; Big
Changes at Hall
At the next show at the Olympia
A. C., Steelton, Manager Joe Bar
rett will have Johnny Gill up
against Johnny Wolgast, of Lan
caster. This bout is already arous
ing much interest with local fans.
Manager Barrett promises that both
boys will bo in the best shape pos
sible. Gill is always in training, and
Wolgast is keeping busy in the Erne
gymnasium every day.
Big changes have been made at
the Olympia. The partitions which
were a handicap have been removed
and bleacher seats will be placed
about the big room. The carpenters
are now at work, and this is one
reason why the fight which was
first scheduled for September 15 has
been put off two days. Manager
Barrett in changing the dates has
also accommodated Tim Droney, who
will meet Eddie May, of Allentown
at Lancaster on September 15. it
is probable that Barrett will referee
this bout. _ ,
Boxers Must Train
Local fight fans will be pleased
with the changes at the Steelton
hall where all lights will be staged
in the future. Negotiations are now
on for several strong preliminaries.
In the future all boxers must show
themselves in good trim or will not
be permitted to box in the Barrett
shows. Those who do not train will
be eliminated by the Steelton man
' B Gill is spending a few days at
home in York, with his family. He
is not letting up in his training, as
he is using the Greek lightweight
champion, Billy Angele, of
burgh, as his boxing partner, and
when Gill returns to Steelton, to
morrow afternoon, to finish under
Barrett's are, Angelo will come
along, and probably he will be
matched with some tough customers
in the semiwindup for the next show.
"Bobb" Clark Aids Newport
, in Game at Lewistown
Newport, of the Dauphin-Perry
League, on Saturday had little diffi
culty in conquering Lewistown of
the Juniata-Mifflin circuit. "Bobb"
Clark, a Newport lad now on the
hurling staff of the Cleveland
Americans, was on the mound for
Newport and held X,ewistown safe at
nil times.
But three hits were gathered by
the Mifflin countians off his delivery
and none of these came until the
seventh. Ho was never in trouble
except in the first when Lewistown
scored their lone tally on a base on
balls and an error. Clark, formerly
with Steelton. of tho Bethlehem Steel
League , and Duncannon, of the
Dauphin-Perry, is at his home on a
ten day furlough.
The score.

Saturday's Scores

nings.
Port Royal, 2; Marysvilie. 0.
In a pair of games at Port
Royal on Saturday, the Marysvilie
champions of the Dauphin-Perry
League dropped their final two games
.of the season, the first by a 4-3 score
after ten Innings of play, and the sec
ond by a 2-0 score. Port Royal played
a steady game throughout and
fully deserved their victories.
Saturday's double header wound up
the 1919 Dauphin-Perry season. Port
Royal, by reason of her double vic
tory, tied up with Newport for the
seeond rung in the ladder.
Mower on Mound
Mower was on the mound for
Marysvilie in the first game and
twirled a good game. He was steady
throughout and all runs scored off
him until the tenth, were gifts. An
error of his and one in the outfield
permitted Port Royal to score two
runs in the second, which proved too
much for Marysvilie to surpass.
Fred Frankhouse, sixteen years old,
was on the mound for Port Royal,
and twirled a steady game. Although
his delivery was clubbed for 11 safe
ties, he managed to keep them well
scattered.
In the second game, errors again
played a big part in Marysville'B de
feat. The clubbers, however, were un
able to solve Hertzler's delivery, but
two safeties being secured.

but Civilian Gets Prize
New York, Sept. 8. —Although
Major R. W. Schroeder, pilot of a
Vought Ve-7 training plane was
named officially as winner of the
American Flying Club's interna
tional handicap airplane contest and
reliability race, which was held be
tween Mineola and Toronto during
the week of August 15, R. H. Do
pew, a civilian flier, who piloted a
Curtiss JN-4-D plane, was an
nounced as winner of the first prize
of SIO,OOO. A War Department rul
ing prevented military entrants
from competing for cash prizes.
To determine the winners, the
club's contest committee took from
the government's records the theo
retical performance of each ma
chine with a maximum useful load
of fuel, oil and passengers. This
! theoretical load was used as a baai-j
I for determining the relative per
formances of the machines with the
load actually carried. The Ve-7 reg

KLEIN TEAM IS
AFTER MACK MEN
Big Crowd, Including Tele
graph Athletic Body, See
Athletics Play
Tailenders from the American
League came to Harrlsburg to-day
for revenge. It is hard luck to be
a tail-end team, but worse when an
Independent aggregation hands them
a jolt. That is what the Klein team
gave the Athletics. It Is also the
principal reason why Connie Mack
came back to H&rrisburg to-day with
his cellar champs.
The game was scheduled for 3.45
and every indication pointed to a big
crowd. Baseball fans here like to
see a good game even if the team
farthest down the list is playing. It
was certain there would be some
thing doing this afternoon on the
H. A. C. field at Island Park.
Klein Wins Two
Manager John Brackenridge haa
] been busy the past week getting his
team in shape for this contest. He
won over Williamsport on Saturday
and yesterday at Marietta trimmed
the Bethlehem shutting out
the Lehigh Valley champions. The
score at New Cumberland Saturday
was Klein, 5; Williamsport, 4. It
was the second and decisive victory
for Klein over the Billtowners.
Three homruns by Klein batters
featured the contest. Wrightstone
had ttyo of them. His drive in the
early innings scored Hunter ahead
of him, and he won the game in the
ninth with another great hit Crans
ton had the other homef.
Thompson was relieved by Deca
tnr, who was recently secured by
Manager Brackenridge from Nash
ville of the Southern League early
in the game. Decatur pitched great
ball for the Klein team.
Yesterday afternoon, Klein de
feated the formidable South Beth
lehem Shipbuilding Company's team
at Marietta before a crowd of more
than 4,000 by the score, 7 to 0.
Mellinger twirled great ball holding
his opponents to five scattered hits
and shutting them out without a
run.
Entertains Telegraph Boys
Manager Johnny Brackenridge is
a big booster for independent teams;
he helps them whenever possible.
He has been keeping his eyes on the
work of the Harrisburg Telegraph
team and while games have been
few the Telegraph boys have had
some goodly advice from this popu
lar leader. This afternoon the mem
a^!L s , ?. f the Harrisburg Telegraph
Athletic Club were guests of Man
ager Brackenridge at the big game.
They in a body and were
given a warm welcome by the Klein
manager.
Carlisle soldiers from the base hos
pital, numbering 75 were also guests
at this game. They were entertain
ed by the Jewish Welfare Association.
Autos brought the soldiers to this
city. Following a dinner they were
taken to the grounds. Seats were re
served for them in the grand stand
and chocolate bars were distributed
among the visitors. They were big
rooters for the Klein team.
It was probable that Harned would
pitch for Klein. He was the only
twirler in good shape, the new men
having been used up in Saturday's and
yesterday's games. The Mack men
will have their regular lineup. The

German Troops Refuse to
Quit Baltic Provinces
Berlin, Sept. B.—The Government
has addressed a note to the Entente
Powers regretting that the evacua
tion by the Germans of the Baltic
Provinces, which haa been ordered
by the Peace Conference, is Impos
sible owing to the Insubordination
of the German troops still in Cour
land.
"In consequence of the restric
tions imposed oby the Allied govern-,
ments, Germany is not in a position
to compel the obedience of its troops
by military means," the note says.
"There was nothing the German
Government could do but to try by
persuasion to bring the troops to
reason. General von der Goctz
solely on this ground reported to
Mitau, The desired object not hav
ing been achieved, his superiors im
mediately recalled him. As a result
of the extremely excited feeling
among his troops, it is impossible
to prepare a plan of evacuation and
return the troops to the sea."
Helfferich to Sue
Mathias Erzberger
Berlin, Sept. 8. The Vosslsche
Zeitung announces that as a result
of the investigation of the charges
brought by Dr. Karl Helfferich, the
former vice-chancellor, against
Mathias Erzberger, minister of
finance, the chancellor is authorized
to bring suit in behalf of the min
ister of finance. Thus Dr. Helfferich
will have an opportunity to prove
his charges in court.
Dr. Helfferich, who has been wag
ing public warfare against Erzber
ger, designates him as "a menace
to the purity of our public life," and
declares him to be a dangerous in
cumbent of the financial ministry.
He recently announced that having
failed to induce Erzberger to sue
him, he would enter suit against
Erzberger to prove him a traitor.
The ministry of justice has been
examining evidence obtained against
Dr. Helfferich, with a view to prose
cuting him."

Nations formed the principal targets
of all the speakers, so far as national
Issues were concerned, and every one
of the orators appealed for the elec
tion of Senator Schantz as the addi
tional law Judge of Lehigh county.
The stump was occupied in turn by
Lieutenant Governor Beidlcman, Au

actly parallel with the attitude of the
Republican majority at Washington
in criticism of the Administration and
opposition to an unamended League
of Nations.
Registration Huge
For Philadelphia
Philadelphia generally
unite in the statement that the regis
tration of the voters In the Quaker
City on the three days broke all rec
ords, just as they seem to indicate
that the high figures are favorable to
the nomination of Congressman J.
Hampton Moore.
The Public Ledger places the regis
tration around 354,000 a gain of 113,-
000 over last yeai 1 , while the Press
figures out 866,000. and the Inquirer
353,000. It will take the official count
to decide. The Democratic Record
says that the big registration may
doom the Vares, but that the anti-
Vare leaders are too busy issuing
statements. The Inquirer urges hard
work and says that Mayor Smith's en
dorsement of Patterson "spilled the
beans."
The registration Is thus summed up
by the Press which says: "The results
of the three days' registrations are
in the highest degree gratifying. The
unprecedented enrollment of 287,560
qualified voters in the two first regis
tration days was swollen Saturday
by the addition of 67,000tt to a grand
total of 356,662. It is the stay-at
home voters who have made contract
or rule possible and kept it in power
in this city. As the outlook is that
there will be no stayat-home voters
this year, contractor rule will surely
be beaten and J. Hampton Moore be
nominated as the Republican candi
date for Mayor of Philadelphia."
The Evening Bulletin says: "This
year the people are enrolling them
selves as if they felt ahaa they had
a special duty to perform; and
throughout most of the northern half
of the city and West Philadelphia,
their earnestness appears to have
been largely spontaneous rather than
the result of appeal or solicitation.
It will be a fine thing to have a May
oralty election decided by a vote
equal to, or more than a Presidential
vote."

Simpson Breaks Record ...
in Camp Dix Hurdle Race
Camp Dix, N. J., Sept.' 8. One
Middle Atlantic District A. A. U.
record was broken here yesterday in
the second day's 'meeting of the
American Enlisted Men's Olympic
games held here under the direction
of the United States Army and the
K. of C. There were fully ten thou
sand officers, enlisted men and civil
ians in the stands.
To Bob Simpson, the world's pre
mier hurdler, goes the honor of set
ting a new mark. In the 120-yard
high hurdle race Simpson clipped a
full second off Harold Barron's
mark of 16 seconds flat. While
there were not three A. A. U. timers
on hand, Samuel J. Dallas, presi
dent of the National A. A. U„ stated
that the record most likely would be
accepted. Harold Barron, the na
tional hurdle champion of 1917, and
a member of the Meadowbrook Club,
of Philadelphia, was second to
Simpson in his record-breaking.run.
On Saturday Frank Zuna, the for
mer Irish-American A. C. athlete,

CHILDREN TAKE
OUT MANY BOOKS
Unusual Demand For Public
Library Service Shown
During August
In spite of the fact that It was a
vacation month the record of the Har
rlsburg Publl Library for August
shows not only a larger circulation
than usual for that month, but that
the interest which has been so strik
ingly manifested by the school chil
dren was maintained.
Of the 7311 books circulated during
August, no less than 1301 were chil
dren's books, which is'an unusual fig
ure. Fully a third of the readers at
the Library were school children, the
greatest interest being shown in
books on airplanes, nature study and
fishing.
The during July was
7583 of which 1608 was among school
children, while in June, the last
school mor.th, the circulation of chil
dren's books amounted to 1812.
In response to many requests from
school children Miss Alice R. Eaton
is arranging to increase the number
of school libraries, an important
branch of library activity which the
funds of the stitution have prevented
from the the expansion which many
desire. With the opening of the
the schools the demands for children's
books have climbed and last week
was a notable one for circulation
dmong the youngsters. Many of them
walked from a mile away to tako
out books.
Owing to conditions at the Library,
some of whose rooms are occupied by
the Red Cross, resumption of the full
activities among children will bo
more ore less uncertain for a time.
