convention to fix its own salaries and
the number of its players.
Salaries and the number of players
for classes C and D will be settled to
day. Although the committee on re
vision of the constitution had prepared
a favorable report upon the question of
appointing a representative of the mi
nors to thp National Commission, the
resolution did not come up, but was
postponed until to-day's meeting.
Sentiment f% such that the resolution
will pass unanimously, and probably
•I. H. Farrell, secretary of the National
Association, will become a member of
the National Commission.
Harry Herrmann opened his month
and heart to the convention for five
minutes yesterday and after telliug
the members how glad he was to be
present, said in part:
•'About our competitors, I have met
Mr. Weeghman four times to discuss
these matters. At those meetings akio
were Mr. Ward, of Brooklyn, and Mr.
Robinson, of the Buffalo Federals. But
I always met them as an individual,
not as chairman of the National Com
mission.
"1 am a believer in peace if it can
be brought about upon sane, sensible
and fair lines. Organized baseball hits
no apology for the Federals, and owes
that organization nothing. We never
advocated the jumping of contracts
and will not in the future unless it be
comes necessary to put up a good tight.
"Bat the men back of the Federals
now know what it means to go into
baseball. They have not found things
just as the promoter promised.
"I tell you candidly, nothing defi
nite has come about yet in the peace
matter. I am to meet again in Chica
go to-day with Mr. Weeghman, Mr.
Johnson and others. 1 cannot predict
the result. But this I know, the com
mittee will do absolutely nothing to
settle the trouble without the consent
of organized ball. The minors must
have the same protection as the ma
jors.
"In the past we have permitted our
business to go on too extravagantly,
both the majors and the minors. 1
advocate strongly in future that we
practice economy. Every league has too
great an aggregation of players and
too big salaries. They are not warrant
ed by the gate receipts."
Mike Cantillon. of the St. Paul
American Association Club, is the real
peacemaker in baseball, according to
Mr. Hermann, the first meeting be
tween the Federals and the National
Commission being brought about by
Cantillon.
The schedule of salary limits, pre
sented bv Judge Kavanaugh, of. Little
Rock, chairman of the committee on
constitutional revision, suggested the
following limits:
Class AA, $5,000 per month; class
A. Southern Association, $3,200;
Western League, $2,800; class B. $2,-
000; class C. $1,200; class D, SI,OOO.
These limitations were put on the num
ber of players: class AA, twenty-eight
for first twenty days and fifteen dur

big s/oadiiug prize over the heads of
rival bidders aud secured the signature
oi (ilen S, Warner to a contract calling
for him to take charge of the Hold an.l
Blue's football affairs for the next ten

Warner for some time, has tinally 'been
successfully consummated, anil Warner
lias actually signed a contract to be
come the football boss at the lova 1 in
stitution immediately after the close
ot the present season, «hi> h will termi
nate his agreement with the Carlisle
Indians.
Official announcement of the signing
of Warner lias not yet been made by
the university athletic authorities, but
it is expected shortly. Tite contract was
signed Tuesday. It developes also that
iu landing Warner. Pitt scored a great
victory in a not three-cornered tight.
Instead of having merely one rival to
contend with the University of Minne
sota, the Pittsburgh ["Diversity was
torced to bin;, a gains: a third bidder,
the latter 'being none other than Cornell
I niversity. The salary agreed upon
is said to be in the neighborhood of
$7,000 annuallv.
Warner will sever his connection
with the 1 ariisle school at the close of
the present season and will assume his
new duties at Pitt immediately after

KKAJ» FOR BIG GAME
Pennsylvania Day Contest at State Col
lege To-morrow
State College, Pa.. Nov. 12.—Giving
the regulars a complete rest for the
Michigan Aggie game here to-morrow,
Pennsylvania Day, Hollenback sent a
team of substitutes against John
Clark's freshman eleven for a thirtv
minute scrimmage yesterday. The sec
ond-string men played au open game,
baffling the freshmen by long passes
and trick formations.
Kwing's open field running, Whet
stone's defensive work, and Dippe's
magnificent offensive plav featured the
practice. Whetstone, who has just re
turned to the squad after suffering from
boils for the lust month, continued his
superb work as an end rusher. He
blocked two forward passes and spilled
the runner for repeated losses. His
recent showing stamps him as a man of
great promise after he recovers his
form.
To-lay Pen 11 State had two hard
scrimmages as the final preparation for
the big intersectional match with the
Michigan eleven. The Westerners are
coming with thirty players, their col
lege band, and a train load of rooters,
it is their last game of the season, and
their coach. Jimmy Macklin, the ex
niversity of Pennsylvania plaver.
wants to celebrate the Aggies' fi-st
Eastern game with a victorv over a
representative eleven.

BBAVES' PARK TO BE SOLD
Will Play in Bed Sox Grounds Next
Season—Gaffney Sees Mayor
Boston, Nov. 12. Although Presi
dent Gaffney, of the 'Braves, denied yes
terday that the old South End baseball
park had been sold to a Chicago mail
order house or any other concern of
that character, there is reason to be
lieve that the days of the Walpole
street grounds are numbered.
■'lt is true,' 4 said 'Mr. Gaffney,
"that we are looking fof a site for a
new ball park and hope to get it before
very long.''
The Braves will play at the American
League grounds next season beyond a
shadow of doubt and perhaps on a new
park of their own in 1915. President
Gaffney was in conference yesterday
afternoon with -Mayor Curley and John
N". Cole, chairman of the Boom Boston
Commission, as a result of whi.'h Mr.
Cole will go to Chicago on Monday to
meet officers of a mail order company
and set forth to them the advantages
of purchasing the Walpole street
grounds.

NON-PARTISAN BALLOT FOR
CITY PRIMARIES IN FALL
Candidates for Nomination to Run for
Mayor and Other Municipal Offices
Will Not Be Designated as Mem- '
hers of Any Party
The candidates for mayor and other,
elective offices of the city of Harris
burg, and all other third class cities'
of the State, will be nominated at the !
September primaries in 1915 on a non
partisan ballot. This means that there I
will be no party columns on this par I
ticulur ballot. The electors will get a!
ballot on which are the names of the |
candidates for mayor and such other!
city offices as are to be nominated, and j
there will be nothing on that ballot to 1
designate thepolities of any man want
ing the nomination. There will, how-1
ever, be separate party ballots for the |
nomination of candidates for county of-1
dices to be filled.
Tlie fourth section of article twelve i
in the Clark third class city law, tin '
der which llarrisburg is now governed.!
savs:
''The County Commissioners of any
county in which any city of the third
class shall be located shall cause to be
printed, for the use of voters at any
primary election in said city of the
third class, where public elective mu
nicipal officers are to be nominate!, a
non-partisan primary ballot." (Then
follows the form of ballot).
"The said municipal primary ballots
shall be uniform; and shall have uotli
ing written, printed, stamped or en
graved, or in any way marked thereon,
to indicate or designate any political
party, or the political affiliations of
any candidate for office named there
on."
Following this is the provision tiiat|
there shall be nominated at the primary i
twice the numbed of persons to be,
chosen for any city office to be voted i
for at the general election. In other j
words, there being but one mayor to i
elect, the two men receiving the high- i
est vote at the primary shall go on the i
general election ballot, but only one i
can l>e voted for, the one receiving the'
highest vote to be the mayor.
Under this law the two candidates 1
for mayor may be nominated from auy !
two parties or from any one party pro-1
vided they get the highest votes, but|
there will be nothing on th t < ballot to ]
indicate the party tliey liolqiig to. lt|
is the same way with the other city'
offices. Twice the number are nomi-j
noted as will be voted fof in Novem-1
ber.
THK COLONIAL'S SIKPRISE j
Manager Hopkins Explains It Is a Re
sumption of "Amateur Night" i
During the last few days the Col
onial theatre has been advertising a |
"comedy surprise" that is scheduled]
for to-morrow evening, hut until to-1
day no explanation of the "mystery")
had been forthcoming. This morning ]
Manager Hopkins explained that it I
will be an amateur performance that |
will include a large number of theatric-!
al aspirants who have cropped out.
since amateur shows wore in vogue at!
the Busy Corner last year.
"You see, it's this way," Mr. Hop-j
kius said, "it is now almost a year)
since the amateur performances were
given "at the Colonial aud when they)
were dropped it was mostly because
the available talent had appeared be- j
fore the audiences. Some of the per-j
formers, T think, are still working for |
a meagre weekly pittance, but one can |
never tell. There may be a few who
have gone and actually made good in !
a large way.
"Recently, however, mmy aspirants!
have been asking for an opportunity!
to "go on the sta^c.' Some of them look
better than others, but there is a suf
ficient numiber to convince me that
combined, they ought to provide a;
cracker-jack entertainment."

AUSTRIAN ATTACKS WITH

Paris, Nov. 12, 5.45 A. <M— A (lis
patch from Nigh, Servia, to the Havas j
Agency recounts the fighting on the
Servian frontier during the past few
days. It says:
'"On the 'Bosnian side as on the!
banks of the Save anil t'he Danube the
past week has been marked by a re
newal of Austrian attacks with fresh j
troops and a quantity of heavy artil
lery. The enemy directed his efforts to ,
ward the Tver plateau so as to collabor
ate with troops which, from the Drina, j
violently atta l ked the Servian positions
at Yagodna. Boragne and Goutchevo.
For strategic reasons the Serviaus
abandoned the positions at Goutchevo. s
retiring in good order to a point a feu i

"In the fighting around Sha'l'ats tiie '
Servian regiments with extraordinary
bravery repulsed the Austrians repeat- i

"Tuesday at 3 a. m. Austrian bat
talions, comprising about 6,000 men, ;

STOUCH CHOIR 10FT TO GROW
Room for Four Hundred More Will Be
Made on Platform by Building
of Additions
Because of stale laws it has been
found impossible to enlarge the Stougli
tabernacle, although the increased at
tendance calls for some such step. It
had been suggested that the side to
ward State street be extended, but that
is altogether impracticable under the
laws.
At a meeting of the executive com
inittee last night it was decided th it
the only solution of the problem is to
extend the choir platform on both sides.
Lumber was abtained for the purpose
to-day, and the work will be done to
morrow morning, so that the extra spac?
will be available at to-morrow even
ling's service.
The choir loft now seats about 1,200,
and the additions will accommodate
i 400 more, 200 on each side. The ad-.
ditions to the loft will be built over!
against the rooms on the right and left,'
covering the areas now open. The en
trances on the sides from North street
will not be closed. There will be tun
nel-like passages leading from them, tin
der the choir loft.
Probably
At a dinner one evening a discussion
arose about thq peculiar customs in ;
foreign countries. One gentleman told
of the Chinese customs. which are
nearly all the exact reverse of our own.
"They use white for mourning, black
for rejoicing ami mourn at a birth !
while they rejoice at death," he re
marked. "The needle of their com
pass points to the south, and they draw
the saw toward them to cut. These
; customs may easily be accounted for,
1 but there remains one which 1 cannot
explain. Why do they take their soup
at the end of the meal instead of at the
beginning?''
Another man ventures. "To (ill up

tion Being Made as to Respective
Party Candidates
Through the printing of the election
return sheet of the vote cast at the last
election, by the County Commissioners
of Berks cpunty, the Washington, Key
stone and Personal Liberty parties of
that county will not have their vo'e
added, as parties, to the returns as made
out at the State Department in order
to determine the relative standing of
the political parties. In making up the
vote in Berks county, duo to the incor
rect blank, the votes given Mct'ormick
iu the Washington party were added to
the Democratic votes an.l all classed as
Democratic. In making up the vote for
Brumbaugh the votes cast for that can
diilate by the Keystone and Personal
Liberty parties were all placed under
the head of Kepubtican and so returned
to the State Department, which has no
means of separating them In order to
see how many of each was cast.
Coder the law a party receiving two
per cent, of the vote cast for the hea l
of the ticket in State election years is
entitled to a separate column and can
nominate at the primaries, ft is not
known at present .just how the action
of the Berks officials in lumping the
vote of the parties under one head will
affect the standing of the three parties
in question, but if the vote of Berks
cast by these three parties is necessary
to make up the two per cent, of any of
them lor separate place on the ballot,
is is likely that an effort will be made
to have the returns corrected.
The law distinctly says that the
vote of each party must be returned
separately as cast for each candidate
for State office, and they must not be
lumped. At the State Department it i<
said that the department can do notii
ing but accept the return as made hy
the Berks county officials, but there are
no votes for Governor reported under
the head of Washington. Keystcne or
Personal Liberty parties.

grow a very little in that way. but ik
has been calculated that it would take
a thousand million years to accumulate
ia layer one inch thick.—New York
