TROPHY CUPS FOR RUTHERFORD Y. M. C. A. WINNERS-TECH HIGH WORKS HARD TODAY LEAGUE TEAMS TO DOUBLE UP Nationals and Americans to Use Same Ball Parks; More Economical Chicago, Oct. 24.—8y process of amalgamation, two, and possible three, major league baseball plants will be dismantled next season, ac cording to the most authentic Infor mation obtainable. This is to the effect that, by the time the curtain rises on the 1920 chamapionship season, Chicago will be the only city which will be asked to patronize two big league parks. The proposition is to co-operate In St- Louis, Philadelphia and Bos ton along the lines adopted some time ago by the two major leagues In New York, where the Polo Grounds are occupied Jointly by the National and American League teams, although the lease on the lot and title to the plant are held by the owners of the Giants. For I several years the two New York teame have played in the Polo Grounds without friction and have reduced the overhead cost to each club. Double Dp at St. IJOUIS Before another seasoq opens it Is more than probable the St. Louis National League club will be shar ing the plant of the St, Louis Browns and the Philadelphia Na tionals will be under contract to play ball in Shribe Park, the home of the Athletics. In every other city except Chicago which has teams in the National and American leagues the baseball parks are located In the same sec tion of the community. In St. Louis the same car line serves both parks, which are only half a mile apart. The Browns have tt modern plant capable of handling anything except a world's series crowd with out overflowing. The Card's park Is an old fash ioned affair, part of which was burned this year and the rest of which cost a lot of mosey "to keep In good favor with the building commissioners of St. Louis. More over, the ground on which the part Is located is valuable as a quick as set. Conditions In Boston A tlckllst situation exlßts In Boston, where both National and American League clubs are strug gling to lift heavy overhead ex penses, due to the cost of their plants. The American League club having built its plant several years ago, probably Is in better condition as to its bonds than the National League team Is. Moreover, Its grounds are better situated for commercial purposes, being In the heart of "automobile row' and the Red Sox park Is better adapted to baseball, because it Is more compact than the plant occupied by the Braves. The latter with a seating capacity of more than 42,000, all on the ground level, Is the biggest baseball plant in America, but it smothers the average crowd and stifles en thusiasm. It would be the rational solution, however, for the two Bos ton clubs to combine on the rental of the Braves' park and the disuse of the Red Sox ground. That would give the National League control of the plants in New York and Boston and the American League of those in Phila delphia and SL Louis. Don't Overlook This Team For Real Basketball Work Roy W. Matchett, manager, who managed and arranged a very suc cessful schedule for the Com monwealth Travelers last year, will place a strong cage team in the running this year, he announces. The team will be made up of the following players: Nob. Frank, Hap Frank, Lingle, Smith, Art Fields, P. Stewart, Ed. Hilton, Emanuel, Gerdes, Ed. Gough and Sourbier. The Commonwealth Travelers lost but one game to Harrisburg players last season, that team being the Harrisburg Independents. Manager Matchett would like to hear from the managers of other fast teams in and out of the city. A very promising schedule Is be ing arranged and a few dates are open. Mr. Matchett can be com municated with by calling 2745-W on the Bell 'phone or by letter at 2738 North Fourth street, Harris burg, Pa. Hot Stove League Starts With Some Trade Rumors New York, Oct. 22.—One of the first sessions of the hot stove league has brought out the rumor of a trade brewing be tween the Giants and the Braves which will bring "Rabbit" Maran vllle and "Hank" Gowdy to the Mc- Graw fold In exchange for Arthur Fletcher, Heinle Zimmerman and Hal Chase. The New York management says that deal has not been made. "It Is considered almost a certainty here that several of the* Giant veterans will not make the trip south in the spring, as McGraw has a likely school of youngsters already trained to step into regular berths next year. r THURSDAY EVENING, GET READY FOR VOLLEYBALL First of Series of Games With Hanover to Be Played Saturday Night Volley ball Is one of the iriost pop ular sports In York county.

Harrisburg Boy Back With Lebanon Valley Grid Squad Annvllle, Pa., Oct. 25.—-Lebanon Valley's football warriors completed the "last long mile" of their prepara tion for next Saturday's game with West Virginia Wesleyan, at Clarks burg, W. Va., with a genuinely heavy scrimmage on the college athletic field last night. The scrimmaging embraced the whole repertorie of plays and formations which Coach Strickler has developed, and the workout was the most thorough giv en at Lebanon Valley this year, prin cipally because it was the last Coach Strickler will be able to give his men here before Saturday's game, as the team leaves to-day for the West Vir ginia institution. One of the players who helped the lind to "hold 'em" in last Saturday's game with Susquehanna was Kenn, a Harrisburg boy, who put up a snap py and remarkable game at right guard, taking the place of Beck, an other Harrisburg lad who has beeft playing right guard since the epen lng of the season. Renn had been out of the game ever since the open ing of the season with an injured knee, and, although he is still com pelled to wear a knee brace, his ex cellent work has earned for him a permanent berth of the 'Varsity.

Another star bout on Barrett's pro. gram will be between Jackie Parkes, touted as after Kid Williams' scalp, and hailing from Lancaster, and Kid Richmond, a Williams protege, whom Young Fulton refused to meet, owing to three ppunds difference in weight. This match was made for the purpose of finding an opponent for Williams, for the Olympia Club, on a future date. Barrett says the amateur boxers, who want to enter the tournament, on Thanksgiving night, should get their names in as soon as pos sible, so he can arrange them ac cording to their weight. None but real amateur boxers, can enter, in eluding those belonging to school clubs. George B. Sutton Winner Over Young Detroit New York, Oct 23. George B.

Anderson at the annual meeting tho other day of the Cheshire Free Church Coun cils, In London, England.
