„SAMMY SCHIFF, LOCAL FIGHTER, MEETS MAHONEY TONIGHT—TECH HAS HARD GAME
CAGE GAMES TO
START SATURDAY
Independents Open Season
With Strong Philadelphia
Five; Good Lineup
Indications point to one of the
most successful basketball seasons
during this winter that Harrisburg
has ever experienced. With the con
test Saturday night between the Har
risburg Independents and the St.
Elizabeth five, of Philadelphia, on
Chestnut Street Hall floor, the sea-,
son will open officially, and num
erous other professional and inde
pendent combinations of the district
will get under way during the re
mainder of the month of November.
The Independents are expected to
again be the city's representatives In
the cage game. Last season the club
had little difficulty In upholding Its
status In local basketball circles. Its
large string of victories including
defeats over all of its challengers
from the city.
There were very few other profes
sional teams in the city or county
last year, and it will doubtless be
the same way this season, for a ma
jority of the tives that go on the floor
are amateur combinations.
If the Independents are able to
keep 'Big Hoss' Haggerty in the
squad during the season, there is
no reason to doubt but that they will
have a good year. Haggerty proved
a big Item in the team's strength
last year, and from all reports he
has improved in his play in the
games he has taken part in so far
this year. With Haggerty at center,
the team is helped considerably in
signal play, for there are very few
tip-off men who are able to out
jump the big boy.
Signal work Is to figure largely in
the practice matches of the Inde
pendent squad during the practices
to-night and to-morrow night. Me-
Cord is to be on the job and direct
to-night's workout. Whether or not
he will be able to get in the first
game is still problematical. Among
those who are to take part in the
practice to-night are Wallower, G.
and N. Ford, McCord, Kline, Gerdes,
Yoder and Sourbier.

New York Yankees Want
Money From Commission
By Associated Press
New lurk, Oct. 30.—Colonel Jacob
Ruppert and Colonel T. L. Huston,
owners of the New York American
League club, announced to-day that
the share of tli? world's serins re
ceipts to "which the Yankee players
are entitled for finishing third in the
American League pennant race,"
would be demanded of the National
Commission immediately.
The club owners said that the per
manent injunction issued Saturday,
restraining President Ban Johnson, of
the American League, from enforcing
bis suspension ruling against Pitcher
Carl Mays "definitely clears up the
question raised by tire Detroit club's
challenge of New York's right "to
third place."
This challenge, based on the claim
that New York took third place by
using Mays, who was then under sus
pension not enforced because of a
temporary restraining order "has
caused the world scries money duo
the New York players to be with
held," according to Colonels Ruppert
and Huston.

Convention at Detroit
Next Month
Detroit, Mich., Oct. 30. —Sports
will hold a prominent place on the
program of the fortieth interna
tional convention of the Y. M. C. A.
at Detroit November IS to 23. More
than 100 physical directors trom
all parts of the country, who will
attend the meeting, will convene in
a special session on physical educa
tion November 24, the day follow
ing adjournment of the regular con
vention, and will consider impor
tant Questions bearing on the physi
cal work of the association.
Two-Day Session
The physical directors' convention
will last two days and will be pre
sided over by Dr. George J. Fisher.
New York City, chief secretary of
the physical department. Directors
responsible for army athletics with
the A. E. F. will be present to help
outline a general program of physi
cal education for the boys and
young men of America.
Organizations interested in physi
cal education have pledged their
co-operation toward helping the
"Y" develop its athletic program
so as to include all ages, from small
boys who delight in gymnasium
games to grown men interested in
football and track meets. Dr. J. H.

ican Physical Education Association
at the convention. The Red Cross
is sending Dr. Llvington Farrand,
and the Boy Scouts of America, Dr.
James E. West, chief executive
scout.
Harry Rote May Get Into
Game Against Pittsburgh
Lehigh's coach welcomed the re
turn of Harry Rote who had been
out with injuries. The Bethlehem
Globe says:
"Lehigh's stocks were further
boosted when Harry Rote, the di
minutive backfield candidate, re
ported in football togs after an ab
sence of two weeks, due to injuries.
He ran the varsity team in signal
drill during much of the practice
and appeared in good condition. It
is more than likely that Rote will
get into Saturday's game, although
hardly at quarter-back, if Herring
ton remains fit to travel the entire
route. It is more than likely that
Rote will be injected into the back
field and that his lightning return
of the ball on punts will serve the
team to good advantage.
"Lehigh's prospects look rosy
and the students are going around
the campus boiling over with spirit
over the prospects of Saturday's
conflict. Every effort is being made
to keep this spirit at fever heat
and to climax the plans during the
week, a big smoker will bo held in
the gym on the eve of the big bat
tle."

TECH ANXIOUS FOR WORKOUT
WITH PITT GRID SQUAD
DURING ST A Y IN HARRISBURG
Glenn Warner, former coach at]
the Carlisle Indian school, now the
big man at Pittsburgh University is
coming to Harrisburg. He will
bring his squad of thirty warriors to
this city to-morrow. Pitt will play
Bethlehem at Lehigh Saturday and
Coach Warner with his team will
spend Friday night in Harrisburg.
If satisfactory arrangements can
be made regarding studies, the Pitts
burgh aggregation will reach Har
risburg early to-morrow afternoon
in time for a practice at Island Park
with Tech. In the evening Coach
Warner will be the guest of Leo
Harris of this city at a dinner. Dur
ing their stay in Harrisburg Pitt will
be at Penn-Harris Hotel.
Tccli Works Hard
Coach Paul Smith is anxious to
Steelton High to Play
Lebanon at Home Saturday
Steelton High plays Lebanon High
at Steelton Saturday. It means a
hard game. Coach Cockl'.l has had
his full squad out for the past sev
eral evenings for stiff work-outs.
This afternoon a scrimmage is plan
ned with the Scrub combination, and
it is probable that a few members of
the school alumni will get in line
with the Scrubs to make the practice
more Interesting.
The Steelton team will go on the
field with practically the same lineup
as that which entered last week's
fray. One or two changes are being
considered, but have not been defin
itely decided upon.
LAFAYETTE IS WINNER
By Associated Press
KuNlon. Pa., Oct. 30—Lafayette Col
lege opened the eross country season
here yesterday by defeating Muhlen
burg College in a dual meet by the
score of 15 to 40.
Crawford, the former American in.
terscholastic cross country champion,
won the run by 350 yards. His time
for the six miles was 30 minutes 34
2-5 seconds.
McLEAN, Guard
have the Pitt squad reach Harris
burg in time for a workout with his
Tech squad. Last evening lie dro V
the Maroons through a hard scrim
mage in preparation for the game
Faturday on the Island with Perkio
men school of Pennsburg. The boys
from near Philadelphia are in the
same preparatory class with Mer
cersburg and Tech expects the hard
est game of the season when the
two aggregations meet the week
end.
Comfort and Wilsbach were both
limping when they returned to this
city, but It is expected that all will
be in shape with the exception of
Captain "Haps" Frank. The cap
tain hopes to be In shape until the
Greensburg game the middle of next
month.
Susquehanna Loses Stars;
Are Declared Ineligible
Sellnsgrove, Pa., Oct. 30.—Susque
hanna's football team was greatly
upset yesterday by the announcement
that the faculty has temporarily dis
qualified Gaull, the "Varsity quarter
back, and Bolig, a 'Varsity guard.
The problem now facing the Orange
and Maroon coaches is to find a suit
able backfleld combination for next
Saturday's game in case these two
players are not reinstated. Janson
and Hagan are both being worked at
quarterback, and one of them will
probably handle the team till Gaull
enters the game again. Horton or
Kothfus will play the guard pisition
left vacant by Bolig.
Ideal football weather yesterday
made possible a long and snappy
practice. During part of the scrim
mage the 'Varsity and Scrub lines
wore interchanged and neither team
succeeded in scoring. Following a
plan outlined for the week, most at
tention is directed to development of
the open type plays. Susquehanna
had been weak all season on forward
passing and field goal kicking, but
yesterday's practice seems to indi
cate an improvement in those re
spects.
Edison Junicrs Practice
For Next Grid Contest
The Edison squad went through
a stiff practice game last evening.
Coa.cb Miller lined up two good
teams. There ai o a number of sec
ond-string men who are nearly as
good as the first line. These men
may get a chance on the first line
any time.
Kelly and Snyder, the men who
had rece'vcd minor lnjuridb in the
game with Sunbury, are out with the
squad again and plinyed through the
entire practice. The manager is try
ing hard to get a game in ilie city
for Saturday, but has not definite if
succeeded as yet. If he gets a game
't probab'y wll be played on Sat
.ll day morning.

Richmond Meets Fnrkes
Kid Richmond, another one of
Williams' stable, is on the card to
meet Jackie Parkes, Lancaster's
best, bantamweight. Richmond is
the fellow whom Young Fulton re
fused to meet several weeks ago,
owing to three pounds difference in
weight. Parkes has been howling
for a crack at Williams and Barrett
has promised him a chance at the
Baltimore Tiger, providing he wins
from Richmond decisively.
Young Lehmer, the local wrestler,
