The I only place where there may be a | change is In right field. Ellenberger, I who covered this territory In the last j game, was not well this morning j and will hardly be in the game this ! afternoon. Either Freddie Lightner, ; who covered right in two games, or j Mower, Marysville's pitcher, who has ; had no opportunity to demonstrate j his worth in this series, will in all I probability be selected for this po i sition. The batting order, as re arranged for Thursday's game, will ibe maintained to-day. Both teams have had a number of propositions for post-season games iin case they emerge winners. No i definite announcement as to the ac- I ceptance of either, has been an j nounced. Notes of the Series Neither team has yet been able to solve the delivery of the oppos ing hurler to any extent, and both contingents are hitting below the .200 mark.

I Moore, Marysville's second sacker, jis the only other .300 hitter in the | series.

He has also had tho advantage in bases on balls, giving j but one as compared to Strieker's j four. Marysville has closed the gap con : siderably in base stealing and has | a record of six pilfers as compared |to seven for West End. Six of the seven West End thefts came in the ! fi>-st game. W. Euker, McCord, T. Euker and Moore each have two to their credit. West End has had more men left on bases, the figures being 22 and 19. Ten West End runners died in the eleventh inning scoreless tie.

HABBYHAN, Assistant Manager, Eddie Collins Leads in League Base Stealing; Cravath Is Batting Hard Chicago, Sept 20. Eddie Col lins, star second baseman of the Chicago White Sox celebrated his fourteenth anniversary as a mem ber of a major league baseball club by stepping out in front among the base stealers last Wednesday, and is showing the way In this depart ment with 31 thefts. His nearest rivals for stolen base honors are Sisler, of St. Louis, with 27 and Cobb, Detroit, and Hooper; Boston, who are tied with 26 each. Cobb, however, is far ahead of the regular batters with an average of .375. He is topped by Eddie Mur phy, pinch-hitting star of Chicago, who in 24 games has batted .476. Joe Jarjjbon, Chicago, has Relin quished his place as runner up to Cobb, and Bobby Veach, a teammate of the Detroit star, has gone in sec ond place with a mark of .348, with Sisler, St. Louis, next with .346 and Jackson fourth with .345. Ruth Is topping the league in the number of runs scored, having reg istered 97 timea He also is far ahead In total bases with 265, and his record of 26 home runs is not In Ganger.

Cutshaw, Pittsburgh, added an other stolen base to his string dur ing the week and Is showing the way In the paths with 85 thefts, his clos est rival being Bigbee, a teammate who pilfered 29 sacks. HARJEUSBTTRG TELEGKXPH have simply asked to be tried on the line weigh more than one thirty. Truman Thompson, Clyde Rosen berger, William Heagy, Ralph Har rison, Penrose Johnson and Samuel McLinn are the boys that are trying tor end who weigh more than one hundred and twenty pounds. Gil bert Morrissey, Theodore Johnson, Jerome Kelly, George Snyder, David Rarringer, Charles Diggs, Edward Lentz, Charles Schaeffer and Carl Andersen, all candidates for the backtield positions weighs one hun dred and thirty or more A number of these boys show good form in their boot work and can be relied upon to get the pigskin out of the danger zone should a kick be nee-- essary. Boys With Pep The heavyweights will not have every thing their own way for there are a large number of boys who weigh around the hundred mark who are fast and full of pep. These boys handle the ball clean and sure and will make it mighty interesting for the bigger fellows. If these boys show the same ability in real prac tice that they have been exhibiting in informal practice some of these middleweights are sure to be found in every game of the Edison school. Coach Miller will not have the boys do any vigorous work until the togs come. It is hoped by the man agement that they can have at least two teams outfitted by the end of next week. In the meantime the boys will practice punts and passing each evening at Seventeenth and Chestnut streets after they have been given blackboard work in one of the rooms of the building. With this preliminary work done the boys should get down to real work as soon as the suits arrive. Baseball Summary; Big League Contest NATIONAL LEAGUE Yesterday's Results New York, 4; Pittsburgh, 2.

'i JACKIE CLARK In the opening l show of the Har rlsburg Boxing Association Friday, September 26, Jackie Clark of Al lentown, will meet Len Rowland, of Milwaukee. It will be the windup feature. The semiwindup will be between Jack McCarron, of Allen town, and Toung Zarlng, of Read ing. There is a whole lot of Inter est in this show and the Clark-Row land battle promises good entertain ment Clark has won decisive honors in seven recent battles abroad. One of these seven, the final event, was won by a knockout. The others were awarded to Clark on the de cisions of officials appointed by the governing board. The knockout was administered by Clark to Riz Walt ers in the eighth round of a sched uled ten-round bout, and Was a clean cut drop, Walters taking the count. Clark first defeated Glenn Glick ner and then carried off the Army Corps title by taking Sergeant Harry Webb into camp. The Allentown boy then won the second Army title by defeating Null, of the Seventh Division. In the finals he first de feated La Salle, the bout going ten rounds, and then scored a victory over Kid Broad in the same number of rounds. The fight with Walters was the last. While In Paris Clark boxed Mike O.Dowd, the world's champion. In a four-round exhibition event, rounds of two minutes each. O'Dowd did not enter the tournament to de cide the Army championship, he re fusing to take part. The fact that Clark publicly announces that he is ready to box any legitimate middle weight in the world, barring none, is evidence that he did not credit O'Dowd with being so far above the ordinary.

Philadelphia & Reading Railroad , LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE PLANS Will Play All Games on Field at Home of Coach Strickler Annvlllc, Pa., Sept. 20.—Lebanon will be the scene of all Lebanon Valley College's football games this season. This was announced by Paul L. Strick lcr, the newly-elected athletic instruct or and coach, whose nome is in Leba non, and who is here. Coach Strickler has negotiated eight games, beginning with Villanova at Lebanon on October 4 and climaxing with what is expected t > be the stiftest fight of the whole sea son, the game with Albright College on Thanksgiving Day. The eight games arranged for do not complete the schedule for the season, there being one vacant date, October 25. Of the eight games scheduled, three are home games and will be staged at Lebanon. The present schedule con tains the following games: October 4, Villanova at Lebanon; Oc tober 11, Muhlenberg at Allentown ; Oc tober 18, Susquehanna University at Lebanon ; October 25, vacant; Novem ber 1, Johns Hopkins University at Baltimore; November 8, Mt. St. Mary's at. Emmittsburg, Md.; November 15, West Virginia Wesleyan at Buckhan non, W. Va.; November 22, Delaware at Newark; November 27, Albright at Lebanon. Expect Big Squad With seven of last year's men out for practice, a successful season is expected under the new coach. The first practice of the season took place on Tuesday, but, owing to the fact that the college registration was not then complete, the number of candi dates for the team was small. How ever, when the second tryout was had on Wednesday, after the college term had been formally opened, there were plenty of new men from whom to select the four men needed to fill out the 'Varsity eleven. Coach Strickler is prepared to put the rookies, as well as the veterans, through some rough scrimmage and plays to make ready for the first game of the season two weeks hence. Only recently Coach Strickler arrived home from France, where he served for fif teen months as a first lieutenant in the army. He was graduated from Leba non Valley College in 1914 and during his college days was one of the in stitution's star athletes, figuring par ticularly prominently in football and basketball. He has named as captain of this year's eleven Harvey Fishburn, of Ephrata, Lancaster county, a star of last year's team. Burnham Fire Company to Have Strong Team in Field Levrlstown, Pa., Sept. 20—The Burn ham Fire Company has a strong foot ball team and they are doing some practicing under direction of Coach Rhodes.

The disbanded Army will furnish a nucleus for the make up of teams in every section of the country, because of the remarkable beneficial effect football was recognised as having on the morale and fighting ability of the American Army and because Uncle Sam's soldiers who had thought of football only as a college and school game have come to a realization that the American game is not only well adapted to the physical development of the Individual, but affords all of the exciting factors seemingly so nec essary to the enjoyment of the Ame rican people. Tursns at Merrersbnrg At the final workout last everlng before leaving this morning for Mer cersburg, the Tarsus School of Gym nastics football team gave promise of excellent work In the game this afternoon, which will be played on the Mercersburg field at 1.45 o'clock.

Rltter, the former Brook lyn catcher, who since his retirement has been a resident of this city and played with the Bethlehem Steel Com pany team last season. Great interest has been manifested here In the coming series which starts on September 30, and it was only after much diffiulty that Rltter secured Sired wire arrangements with the playing fields in Cincinnati and Chicago. The famous electric player board used by Ritter Is one of the most complete on the market to day and reproduces every possible play of the game with the ball and the players always In view and duplicat ing every move as it is made on the playing field. Mr. Ritter announces | f veral additions to the already per iled electrical pliyer mechanism. The visit of Pat Moran's Reds to Harrlsburg several weeks ago for a 15 game with the Klein Chocolate Com pany team makes them prime favor ites in this section, and the majority of Harrislturg fans are expected to pull for the former Philadelphia pilot to win the championship. ST. MARY'S TEAM WINNER*"™" The St. Mary's football team of Harrlsburg defeated the Steel Build ing eleven yesterday by the score of 30 to 0.
