HARRISBURG FOOTBALL FANS
TO SEE ARM Y-NA VY GAME
ON ISLAND PARK FIELD
• New York is not the only city in
America which will see an Army-Navy
came this year. It was announced to-
that teams representing the
Army and Navy, will ply a game on
Island Park Saturday afternoon, No
vember 29. Both teams will be com
posed of American Legion members,
who are promoting the game. >
"Charley" Thomas, former lieuten
ant of Company X, old Eighth Regi
ment. N. G. X'., and Josiah P. Wilbar,
Company D, nave been put in charge
of the Army football team and will
announce a tentative lineup in a few
> days. They said to-auy that there
are six ex-Army men in the city who
played on the famous Twenty-eighth
Division team, which was a runner
up for the championship of the A. E.

been lined up, and the calibre of the
GREAT JOCKEY IS j
' NOW BOOTBLACK
Victim of Drugs; Once Rode
Real Winners; Had
Money
*" Chicago, Nov. 18—Once he earned j
more than $20,000 a year and was j
the idol of the sporting world; to- i
day he is working for a Greek, |
shining shoes.
Former Jockey James Sims, a ,
negro, -begged for morphine Satur- j
day at the headquarters of the nar- ;
cotic squad in the Federal building >
where he was taken as a witness in
a drug case.
Sims first became a follower of
the race track when he was 13 j
years old, and attracted the atten- j
Jion of Harry Payne Whitney, mil- |
%ionaire horse fancier, who engaged !
him as a. jockey. Sims won many ;
famous stakes for the Whitney j
stable, and during his career ranked !
among the top-notch riders such j
,is Isaac Murphy, Fred Taral, Tod
Sloan, Redfern, Doggett. Clayton, i
Littlefield. and Griffin.
Sims rode Ben Brush to victory in j
the Kentucky Derby of 1896 and
two years later piloted Plauditt to j
victory in the Blue Grass classic. He I
rode the winners of the Belmont {
stakes of 1893-94, they being Com- I
anche and Henry of Navarre, re- |
spectively. In 1897 he brought Ben j
Brush home a winner in the Brigh- ;
ton handicap, and again piloted the !
winner the following year in Orna- ;
ment. He captured the Suburban ;
handicap in 1897, with Ben Brush, j
and the Withers stakes of 1896-97 j
with Handspring and Octagon, re- ]
spectively. In 1894 he rode the j
celebrated Dobbins to victory in the |
Dwyer stakes and again won it with
Octagon in 1897. The Tremont
stakes of 189 7 was another winning
race for Sims when he piloted Hand
ball home in front.
During the last years of his
career as a rider, however, he j
smoked opium to keep his weight I
down and never was able to free
himself from drugs.
When Sims was at his best as a
jockey, his earnings, including re
ceipts from bets, sometimes amount
ed to as high as $30,000 a year.
"What are you doing now?" asked
a Federal agent.
"I'm ashamed to tell you," said i
Sims, with a hanging head. "I'm '
shining shoes for a Greek. I've j
been broke for years."

LEAGUE RULE TO
STOP LATE SALES
National League May Prohibit
the Unloading of Stars to
Strang Club
Chicago, Nov. 18. —Serious effort :
will be made at the annual meeting ,
of the National League early next
month to curb a practice which
reached its height last season and
threatens to become worse unless
restricted. It is that of weaker
clubs selling players to pennant
contenders in the latter part of the
season when two or three owners
are willing to pay almost any price
to strengthen up for the home
stretch.
' Manager Moran of the world's
champion Reds has complained bit
terly against the unwillingness of
the other National I-eague club
owners to let go of any players to
help out Cincinnati when it was
crippled for lack of an outfielder
, but there seemed to be no unwill
: ingness to sell or trade pitchers to
| the Giants when they were going
badly.
Fix Sale Limit.
There is a strong sentiment in
favor of adopting a rule that, no
National League owner shall sell or
trade a player to another club in
' that circuit subsequent to August
jl. Some clubs are willing to fix it
: as early as July 1, while others favor
a later "dead line."
i The commission's rules protect
' the world series against, any such
jockeying by a rule that no player
shall bo eligible to the post season
scrap unless under contract to his
team prior to September 1. There
is nothing in the league's rules to
prevent a club owner purchasing a
flock of players to use in the last
week of the championship race,
provided some losing owner is will
ing to sell them. The proposed rule
is designed to guard against any
such possibility in the future and
to restrict trades in the same league
to the first half of the season.
If there had been such a rule in
force in the American League this
year there would be no Mgys maze
to tangle up the works in that cir
cuit and the major organization
may follow the older league's lead
and adopt one this winter.
McCOURT IS CLE WINNER
By Associated Press.
Cleveland, Nov. 18.—Charles Mc-
Court, of Cleveland, defeated Jess
Lean, of Cincinnati, 50 to 45, in the
first game of the three-cushion bil
j Hard championship tournament to
day. The game went fifty-four in
[ nings. McCourt's high run was
| eight. Tiff Denton, of Kansas City,
( won from Clarence Jackson, of De
troit. 50 to 38 in sixty-four innings.

Game starts at 8.15.
John Hess, referee.
Cancellations, in volleyball are be
coming as numerous as in football.
Three teams were lined up for to
night aCChestnut Street Auditorium
and thfit all canceled. At a late
hour yesterday afternoon Manager
"Cappy" Hoy, who has been con
fined to his home all week, managed
to land an attraction and to-night
| the Galahad team will meet Zcmbo
j Patrol.
This is not Galahad s first ap
, pearance in the sport that is now at
j tracting much interest from the
I public. It will be the first appear
j ance of the Hill champions in pub
i He. Galnhad has been meeting all
| comers in various gymnasiums, and
i because of the demand for volley
i ball attractions, decided to play all
j comers. Following this game to
| night, Galahad will play a series of
I out-of-town games.
Zcmbo Keeps Busy
Zcmbo players have been prac-
I ticing every afternoon for the game.
It was announced at the last game
that there would be volleyball every
Tuesday, and this is what will hap
pen until the close of the season un
less it becomes necessary to change
the date because of the Inability to
secure the auditorium.
Patrons may expect n good game
to-night. Play will start at 8.15 and
"Big Jawn" Hess will referee. The
added feature, a two-hour dance,
will be continued at all games and
the public will be welcbme. It is not
a costly proposition as both the
game and dance requires a small
outlay. A twelve-piece orchestra will
furnish the music and the program
runs two full hours.

Tech High Manager Is Trying!'
lo Secure Strong Attract j"
tion For Maroons
Tech High School "knocked off" a
period yesterday morning to cele
brate the victory gained Saturday
over Grernsburg High at that place.
Prof. Grubb told the story of the trip
from the time the team left Harris
burg amid the cheers of the student
body, until the final trip home. Cap-L
tain Frank gave a number of inci- <
i dents about the trip, after which the j
cheer leaders mounted ihe platform j
and gave a cheer for each of the |
members of the squad who made the I
trip.
No practice was held last night so !
that the squad'would hove a chance!
to rest after the hard battle. To-day I
Coach Smith hud the entire squad on
the field in preparation for a game I
Saturday. Manager "Bus" Snyder I
wired Erie High School to come here'l
for a game Saturday. The Erie lads •
have not been scored on this year,
and claim to have a hard time to get
opponents.
They say the crowd leaves the field
before half of the game is played,
because of the overwhelming- score
by which Erie has been defeating her
rivals. Erie claims the championship
of Ohio, Northwestern Pennsylvania
and Southern New York. They lay
claim to being real champions and
dispute Tech's claim.
Another Claimant
Ever hear of Fostoria, Ohio? Out •
in that "burg" they have another I
team that has not been scored on in I
eight games. They also want a crack '
at Tech. Faculty Director Grubb sent!
a letter to several Cleveland papers, j
and replies have already begun to j
come East. Then there is Nlasten
Park High, of Buffalo. They want to
come to Harrisburg December 6. Tech
i 3 out for the championship, and will |
meet all comers. Local patrons are i
promised real sport before Tech final- '
ly closes its season.
That local fans are back of the Tech '
team is shown by the fact that 400
rooters followed the team out to
Greensburg to see their favorites win'
the game. These same camp follow- i
ers raised enough cash to engage the :
Latrobe Band. These musicians did'
much to enliven the crowd.
• In case Erie High is not the oppon
ent Saturday either the Pitt Fresh
men or the Army and Nav,- Prep
School, of Washington. D. C., will op
pose the big Maroon eleven.
