Stealing First Some Job Harry Davis Succeeded Philadelphia, Oct 24.—Th queer est play known to baseball was pulled off by Harry Davis, the first sacker of the Philadelphia Athletics. Players often steal second base, but few steal first base; yet that is what David did, and here is how he did It: Dave Fultz, the crack baserunner of the American League, was on third base and Davis on first. With the motion of the pitcher's arm Davis started for second, at tempting to draw a throw from the catcher, so that Fultz could score. The catcher, however, refused to try for Davis, and he was given credit for a stolen base. On the next ball Davis started back toward first base, and the catch er lost his head, thinking that Davis thought there were three outs, and snapped the ball down to first base in rapid style. With the motion of the catcher's army, Fultz, who was watching the play from third base, at once hit for home, and the first sacker, seeing Dave headed for the plate, made no attempt to tag Davis, but re turned the throw in order to catch Fultz, but the throw was too late to catch Fultz, and Davis rested on first base once more. This is the only time known to the game that a player has ever stolen first base. Yankees Start Plans to Bolster Up Ball Team New York, Oct. 24.—The first step toward strengthening the Yankees for the 1920 campaign was taken when it was announced by Colonel T. L. Huston that Benny Geiser, an outfielder, has been signed. Geiser has a pretentious record as a semi professional player. It is planned to take him South for the Yankees' spring training trip. Geiser is an all-around player, but is best adapted to the outfield. He started In baseball as a pitcher, and subsequently tried every other posi tion in the lineup, to settle down eventually as a flychaser. Last year he was the leading player in tho Shipyards League. He led at bat ting, going through the season at a .413 clip. He was a member of the Doyney Shipyard team and aid ed in many of his team's victories. Geiser Is 23 years old and has had considerable experience with local semi-professional clubs previous to his connection with the shipyards outfit. Edison Juniors to Play Game With Sunbury High The inclement weather interfered with the field practice of the Edison football team yesterday. Coach Mil ler took the opportunity to give the ,squad a good blackboard talk in one of the class rooms. The team re ceived instructions in offensive and defensive tactics. Most of the plays that will be used in the Sunbury game were outlined. Thursday morning Manager Ros well Lyons had the good fortune to schedule a game with the Sunbury High school team for Saturday aft ernoon at Sunbury. The open date caused by a rearrangement of the schedule has thus been filled. Ex cept for one date that has not been definitely settled the schedule Is com plete and will be announced in Its entifety early next week. The man ager is arranging several games for the second team. The Sunbury team is reported to be a strong one. The practices this week have improved the team work of the boys and they should give Sunbury a good game. SNOODLES By Hungerford ' rTsAVT whaVS oomin' I THC I 3 —~ ~ >v 1 - *■ " "T 1 - - COACH SMITH COMPLETES LINEUP FOR BIG BATTLE ATMERCERSBURG TOMORROW Harry "Fat" Ellinger with his 180 I pounds of avoirdupois will be the boy to plug the hole left in the line by the injury last Saturday to Cap tain "Haps" Frank. "Fat" has play ed a bang-up game this week, and outdistanced his opponents for tho line position. Coach Smith has shifted Guard Comfort to the tackle position left by the Tech captain, and Ellinger will be placed at a guard with Holtsommer as the other I guard. Comfort will have as his mate on the other side of the line tho regular tackle, Johnny Arnold. The regular center. Smith, will start the game. With this rearrangement, the line will be a veritable stone wall. On the wings will be "Snaps" Eman uel and "Zip" Mallck, or Brooks. "Zip" developed a Charley horse prior to the opening of the season, and has not been right since. Coach Smith now thinks that the speed boy is now in condition, and the fastest quarter miler In the Institution will tear down the field on the kick-off Saturday afternoon. Books will be in reserve in either the end or for a backfield position. No Fear For Backflchl With the line doing its duty, there will be no fear for the backfield. "Buddy" Lingle, Carl Beck, "Tony"' Wilsbach and Garrett are a quartet that are hard to be beaten in High school ranks. Mercersburg will be on the lookout for Carl Beck whose reputation Is well known at Mer cersburg. But there will be three other lads almost ns clever whom Mercersburg will have to stop. Wils bach hits the line harder than any player Tech has ever had. Lingle is a different type of player, squirm ing through the smallest holes that are made in the line. He has a quick turn and with splendid log work is tho hardest 145-pound play er to down. Carl Beck's flashy, open field running has never been equal ed in Harrisburg. As an all-around athlete, he Is in a class by himself. The college that gets Beck next year will have a prize, for he can adapt himself to any kind of athletics. No game has ever attracted so much attention as has the Mercers PLANS UNDERWAY FOR BIG BATTLE Gettysburg-Bucknell Game to Be Played at the Island November 15 Jlarrisburg's only college football game will be fought November 15 at Island Park. It will be the an nual battle between Gettysburg and Bucknell. According to reports this season, this year will find these teams more evenly matched than during any previous year and local enthusiasts may expect something real in a college game. Plans for this big contest are now underway. Representatives were here yesterday and arranged for some special work at the Island. Each institution will send a large delegation of students, and each will have a band. This season, if pres ent plans hold out, the two bodies Will be on the west side of the field, and will occupy the temporary bleacher seats. This section will be divided into five divisions, those on the end and in the center to be for the public, and the other two for the students and bnnds. This arrangement, how ever, may be changed. The students will come to Harrisburg on special trains and will have a parade before the game. Only Two Prices , There will be but two prices this season—7s cents and sl. Purchas ers of a dollar ticket will be entitled to a seat- There will be no coupons for seats. Each purchaser entitled to a seat will get two tickets and there will be no more tickets sold than there are seats. This change is to avoid delays at the gate and bleachers where seats have been reservod in the past. It will also give patrons an opportunity to buy tickets before going to the game. There will be ushers and guards to see that everybody on titled to a seat will get one. The grandstand and rightfleld bleachers will be for those desiring seats up to the opening of the second half. Harrisburg Grid Stars to Be in Gettysburg Lineup Gettysburg, Oct. 24.—Gettysburg College hopes to annex her third victory of the season on Saturday afternoon when she lines up against Albright at Myerstown. Albright is not considered as hav ing a particularly strong eleven this season, nevertheless teams from that institution have always given Gettysburg a hard battle and Satur day's game Is not expected to prove an exception. With Houtx, the side-stepping halfback showing the greatest form of his career, Moyer running the team with his accustomed Judgment and Bream and Bright on hand to go through the line for big gains, the Gettysburg fans surely expect \ lctory, Vic Emanuel, the grentest end ever seen at Gettysburg, Is also ex pected to star ugalnst Coach Ben fer'a Albright team, , HxxmisßtrßG teebgicxm burg battle. Every student who can rake together the coin will make the trip,- while many of them will "hike" to the Franklin county institution. Others will go by auto to see tho battle de luxe. Indoor Drill With Coach Smith, Manager "Bus" Snyder and Faculty Director Grubb will go a squad of* twenty players. The reserves will go to Carlisle by truck where they will bo pitted against the Army Hospital eleven In the afternoon. Inclement weather kept the Tech squad Indoors, so Coach Smith gave the players a skull drill. For the first time since last Saturday Captain Frank took a chance outdoors. He was whisked down to Tech by auto, and listened to the blackboard talk by Coach Smith. "Haps" still has pain in his right knee, but says that his Injury Is mending rapidly. This afternoon he reported to school and took up his studies. Tho probable lineup for the big contest is: TECH. MERCERSBURG. Maliek. I.e. Starcher, I.e. (Books) Hoffsommer, l.t. Burr, l.t.

AND M. ELEVEN Battle Is Scheduled For To morrow at Lancaster; Hard Battle Lancaster, Fa., Oct. 24. —Coach "By" Dickson's Franklin and Mar shall football aggregation will line up agulnst the fast Dickinson Col lege eleven to-morrow afternoon on Williamson Field, in one of the most important games of the season. Dickinson and F. and M. have al ways been keen rivals," so a hard fought game Is anticipated. Both teams thus far this season have perfect records. Dickinson has emerged with three victories while Franklin and Marshall has but one scalp to her credit, although she did engage in three scoreless tics. Comparative scores furnish somewhat contradictory evidence as to what might be the outcome or the game. Dickinson, however, is somewhat confident by reason of her 20—0 victory over Deleware State, with whom F. and M. could do nothing better than tie. The Blue and White squad, while not expecting an easy game, is not especially agitat ed over this battle. Want Mure Punch Another shift in the team lineup has been made to add more punch to the offense, while at the same time, the already strong defense, is being further strengthened by Coach "By" Dickson's changes. These are being made only since it has been learned that Boyd Ndw strong backs, will be out of the comb and "Dot" Melllnger, both game for the season. Hoster and Truxal have been taken from the backfleld and will play end and tackle, respectively. They will likely be replaced in the backfleld by Leinbach and "Ed" Melllnger. "Louie" May and De chant will fill the other "back-field positions. Paired with Hoster at end w'll be "Houstle" Weaver with Lloyd Weaver playing the other tackle. Rlraey and Kurtz will be at guards with Captain Rlckert playing center.
