Herewith is an etching of a popular bathing pool at Springfield. Mass. It, is an outdoor swimming pool
and suggests about what could be produced at either end of Island Park. There is abundant space on the
Island for bathhouses properly designed and located to meet the Harrisburg need, and, while the increasing
city population will probably require still greater facilities in the future, the proposed loan of 140,000 will
serve as a start in the right direction.

start Friday evening when a pro- j

The party will begin promptly i

i after that hour is going to miss out
i on the opening event of the pro

! is going to be full of the old "pep."
j A .iazz orchestra will be on hand
to see that those who are in favor
of that kind of syncopation feel at
home and will wander from the
ground floor to the gym, both of
which places are to be the scenes of

And from ali appearances they are
going to be the world's best, "nob"

REDS CONFIDENT
TODAY WILL END
WORLD'S SERIES
Fans Sure Before Night Falls Men of
Moran Will Be Proclaimed Baseball
Champions of World; White Sox
Are Still Hopeful

Cincinnati {i]jlil&lMMl3!ll3 MUU
Cincinnati, Oct. B.—Fighting with
t heir backs to tile wail but hopeful
licspite their four defeats, the White
Sox will meet the Reds to-day in
the seventh game of the world's ser
ies. The Reds and the 32,000 fans
who witnessed yesterday's ten-in
ning battle feel confident that the
contest would be the decisive one
and that before night the men of
Moran would be proclaimed base
ball champions of the world.
Before the game started it was
believed that Manager GleastJn of
the Sox would send Eddie Cicotte
lated as the master pitcher of the
American Eeague, to the mound tr
face the Red legs. Cicotte tried
twice to stop them and failed, but
Gleason has every confidence that
he can master the Reds if his arm is
in condition. !t is possible, however,
that "Big Bill" James may be Glea
son's eleventh-hour choice.
Prepare to Celebrate
Supporters of the Reds believed
that "Slim" Sallee would be Man
ager Moran's pitching selection.
Sallee scored the Red's second vic
tory of the series and is declared to
be ready to take his turn on the
pitching mound again.
All Cincinnati is getting ready to
celebrate the expected victory of
the Reds and there was a wild rush
to-day to get tickets for this af
ternoon's contest. The sale opened
last night and hundreds stood in line
for hours awaiting to purchase
choice box and grandstand seats. If
the Sox are victorious in to-day's
contest, the teams will have to re
turn to Chicago for the eighth game
Thursday. But admirers of the Reds
are confident this trip will be un
necessary.
That sixth game yesterday, going i
to ten innings and seeing the Reds
beaten five to four was full of thrills
and erratic baseball. The Reds puss 7
up several opportunities, something
they have not been doing in the
series. The Reds made eleven hits
the Sox made three errors, two men
walked and one was hit —out of the
chances they collected only four
| runs.
Gleason Now Hopeful
Despite the three errors, the Sox
j defense froze up whenever the Reds
i were getting dangerou-j. The Sox
j seemed to re t'tze tim" a humiliating
defeat faced then unless a brace
, was taken and the team played
championship ball in spots.
After the game Manager Glea
j son declared that the Sox had
last hit their championship stride
and although beaten in four of the
i six games were far from out of the
| race. The Sox seemed to he fired
■ with a new spirit, which they hoped
I would turn the tide of defeat in
to victory.
Heated Arguments
Despite the Reds' setback yester
day the crowds, that waited at the
box ofF.ces of Redland Fie'd to buy
seats were of the same proportions
as those that gathered there on the
days previous. The ines stretched
for blocks up and down the streets
and several heated arguments had
to bo settled by the police. They
were usualy debates on the merits
of the two teams as shown in yes
tet day's contest.
The probable lf?ie-up for to-day's
game follows:

New York Considering
Prehistoric Garb
By Associated Press.
New Vork, Oct. B. With the
laundry workers' strike entering
its third day the average New
Yorker to-day inspected his
dwindling stock of clean linen and
then wondered if, when even his
flannel shirts were exhausted, he
might escape sartorial criticism
by donning a leopard skin or some
other garb of pre-historic days.
With laundry owners and strik
ers 'apparently unable to reach an
agreement with regard to the
closed shop, and union leaders
claiming that nearly all Manhat
tan laundries had been closed. In
terest shifted across the East Riv
er to Brooklyn, where unionists
declared employes were consider- !
ing laying aside soap and irons.
It was to the Chinese laundry, j
with its pink slips and curious j
black scrolls, that Beau Brummel
pinned his faith. The Orientals,
undisturbed by the labor unrest of
their co-workers, continued |
placidly with their business which
was reported "booming."

ATTEMPT MADE v
TO WRECK STEEL
MILL WITH BOMB
Time Device Placed on Roof
of McKeesport Plant; Tears
Roof From Structure
MEN FLEE IN TERROR
Workmen Are Panicstricken
When Glass and Debris
Fall Around Them
By Associated Press•
Pittsburgh. Oct. 8. —An attempt
was made to wreck the plant of the
American Sheet and Tin Plate Com
pany at McKecfiport early to-day.
when a missile believed to have been
a liomb, was thrown on the shipping
department building. It exploded,
tearing a large hole in the roof of
the structure. No one was injured.
The police believe the explosion
was caused by a time bomb placed
upon the roof of the building.
Flee In Terror
Workmen on the night shift at
their posts directly under where the
missile exploded, fled in terror when
the explosion occurred and lots of
shattered wood and glass were hurl
ed in all directions. Foreign resi
dents of the district, panic stricken,
rushed from their homes into the
streets.
The report of the blast coul I be
heard for blocks and attracted hun
dreds of persons to the scene.
Although several hundred mill
guards and police were rushed to
the plant immediately after the ex
plosion, no trace of the person or
persons responsible for the blast
could be found.
The tin plate plant is one of the
largest concerns of its kind in the
country and has been affected by
the steel workers' strike. During the
past week, however, many men are
said to have reported for work. The
police say that a number of these
men have been threatened with
death if they continued to remain at
work. They believe that the bomb
was used to terrorize the workmen
who have deserted the ranks of the
strikers in that district.
