BASE BALL
SCHEDULE AGAIN SHIFTED.

Notwithstanding the fact that all
the managers were at the Berwick
meeting last Monday when the sche-
dule for the Susquehanna league was
adopted, and all expressed satisfaction
with the series of games as drawn up
by President McCollum, it was dis
covered by the Berwick management
after the meeting that the schedule as
arranged was unsatisfactory to that
town.
President McCollum has therefore
rescinded the present schedule and re.
srranged the games for this week. The
remainder of the schedule will be an
nounced later.
The games for this week are
Friday, August II.
Nescopeck at Danville.
Shickshinny at Bloomsbury.
Nanticoke at Berwick.
Saturday, August 13.
Danville at Bloomsbury.
Berwick at Shickshinny.
Nanticoke at Nescopeck.
There is more or less dissatisfaction
both in Danville and Bloomsbury with
this new arrangement of games Dan
Vile played league game at Blooms
burg only last week. Bloomsbury, in
the first schedule was to have played
Nanticoke on Saturday, and both
Bloomsbury and Nanticoke wished to
have this game stand as the fact that
these teams are now tied for first place
would have made it contest of more
than ordinary interest.
1t is likely that something will yet
be done to inquire why the changes
were made

CROP CONDITIONS
ARE FAVORABLE

The average condition of the corn
crop on August 1, as estimated by the
crop reporting board of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, made public with
the general monthly crop report on
Tuesday was 10 as compared with
IS. A last month, S4.4 year ago and
81. l the average on August lst for the
past ten years.
Preliminary returns indicate win
ter wheat yield of about 15.S bushels
per acre, or total of about 45S, 294, =
900 bushels, as compared with 10. s.,
and 446, 366, 600 bushels, respectively,
as finally estimated last year. The
average quality of the crop is 80. q
against 80. 3 last year.
The average condition of spring
wheat on August 1st was 81. 0, as COM
pared with Gle last month, 9l.6 last
year and S1.9, the ten year average on
that date.
The average condition of the oats
crop on August 1st was S1,5, as COM
pared with 49, 2 last month, SO. 5 year
ago, 76.S in 1908 and S2.6 the ten year
average on that date.
The production of last years oats
crop in farmers hands on August 1st
was about 6.3 per cent, or 63, 249, 900
bushels as compared with 3. 3 per cent.
or 26, 1923, 900 bushels in 1909 and 5.S
per cent, or 80, 394, 900 bushels, the
average proportion on hand for the
past ten years on August 1st.
The acreage of buckwheat is about
BIG, 200 acres, or 2.2 per cent. QS,000
acres) less than last year.
The preliminary estimate of the
acreage of hay is 45, ,O05, 900 acres, or
10 per cent. (739, 900 acres) less than
last year.
In spite of the lower conditions Of
the corn crop, the increased acreage
devoted to that cereal probably will
increase the crop of the present year
about so, 600, 600 bushels over the crop
of last year according to the view of
expert statisticians.
These statisticians declare that while
the drought in the northwest will
make the wheat crop smaller than last
year there will be liberal supply for
export. They state that the winter
wheat that was not abandoned would
give greater yield than was expect
ed. The oats crop will be as big as last
year, when it was unusually large.
The average condition of Pennsyl-
vania corn is IS, as compared with a
ten year average of S5.
The yield per acre of Pennsylvania
winter wheat is 17.S bushels, the pro-
duction in Pennsylvania is estimated
at 81, 697, 900 bushels and the quality
at "a per cent.
The average condition of Pennsyl-
vania oats is 81, as compared with a
ten year average of 81.

on until the end of the season to go
through the league and clean up every
thing on the circuit, this being meant,
the directors declared, with doubly
especial force in the case of Blooms
burg.
With the end in view of putting the
team on basis where big per cent
age of the games will come Danville's
way, Manager Hoffman was instruct
ed to secure first class intielder and
pitcher, the latter not to be construed
to mean that the present pitching staff
of the team is to be disturbed, with
the exception of Rowe. With this Ego

Hoffman told the directors he had sew
eral men in view who would greatly
strengthen the Danville lineup and
that he would get after them at once.
A meeting of the managers of the
Susquehanna league was held Mon

Berwick, the business being the ratify-

Meeting
OfD. A. A. Directors

What was in many ways the most
satisfactory and enthusiastic meeting
of the board of directors of the Dan
Vile Athletic association held in the
history of the organization, was that
Monday eve at the office of Secretary
Ralph Kisner.
1t was a Booster meeting all the way
through, and if spirit of determina-
tion on the part of promoters of base
ball in this city can make the Danville
team "come back" the result is as
good as accomplished.
The meeting fairly bristled with
momentous business. chief among
which was the election of Chester A.
Nipple, the first baseman of the Dan
Vile team, as field manager, with the
retention of Simon K. Hoffman, who
piloted the Danville team through a
championship season last year and who
has brought Danville out far ahead in
the first series of the present season,
as manager.
The opening skirmish of the meet
ing revealed the fact that the direct
ors realize that interest in the Nation
al Game is tagging in Danville, and
after that the whole trend of the ses-
sion was toward adopting means to re-
store the Danville team to the full
favor of the fans.
Moving along this line the first &C,
ton that was taken came in motion
that the manager be requested to re-
lease Pitcher Peck Rowe at once
for the good of the game in Danville,
and this was carried without a dis.
senting voice.
The directors then took up the mat
ter of the control of the players, a
number stating it as their opinion that
the members of the team are not suffi-
ciently governed, especially in the
matter of practicing. At this point
Manager Hoffman explained to the
board that business affairs make it i'm
possible for him to give the attention
to the team that the situation re.
Quires, and he asked that the board re-
lieve him of actual control of the play
ers.
Following out this request, it was
moved that Captain Nipple be made
field manager of the Danville Athletic
association team, which was carried.
This was followed by motion that
Field Manager Nipple have full con-
troll of the team on and off the field.
Manager Hoffman is still to act as
manager of the team in matters pei
tanning to signing and releasing play
ers, arranging games and other duties
that fall to the business end of run.
ming ball club, with V. V. Vincent
to also retain his position as assistant
to Manager Hoffman.
With the question of field manager
settled the directors talked over means
of strengthening the team, and in this
connection it was brought to the at
tention of the board that the impress
sion has gotten abroad in Danville
that those directly back of base ball
here do not want to win the second
series, in which Danville has already
lost the first two games. The direct
ors and managers were a unit in re.
pudiating this idea.
1t has been, and is now, the effort
of all concerned in base ball here to
win just as many games as possible,
and will be the especial aim from now

GALLAGHER'S TRIAL.

preparation of his case against Gal.

dieting Gallagher, as we have plenty
of witnesses and the mans own con-
fession. "
According to my hastily formed
plan now, Gallagher will be on trial
not later than the first of next week.
The trial will be short and the verdict
Will be reached by the jury in record
time. Gallagher probably will be tried
on charge of assault with attempt to
Kill. The penalty for this is a maxim
um of twenty years. Under our COM
mutation rule, this means practically
sentence of twelve years.
'Of course the condition of Mayor
Gaynor may delay action, but from
the encouraging reports have receiv-
ed the Mayor will be spared to us. ="
CONDITION STILL SERIOUS.
While the Mayors condition is ad-
mittedly still very serious and the ply
sicians would not commit themselves
on any statement as to the outcome,
Secretary Adamson, who was one of
those who remained with the Mayor
all night, said today that he consider
ed the outlook very hopeful. Mr.. Ad-
amson, however, was careful to i'm.
press the possibilities of danger from
infection of the wound, which will re-
main until the bullet is removed.
There is also the danger, it was in
dicated by those who had watched the
case closely, that the shot from Gal
lagher's revolver had passed so close
to an artery that hemorrhages might
be brought on from an attenuated
artery wall. The passage of time les
sens the probability of this, however.
Mayor Gaynor has not been afflicted
with an attack of hemorrhage since
yesterday, shortly after lie was brought
to the hospital.
