TO BROADEN SCOPE
OF ITS ACTIVITY
Anti-Tuberculosis Society
to Reorganize and Hopes
to Interest Many.

For the purpose of localizing inter
est in the wards and townships and
bringing home TO the individual the
purpose of the organization the Wayne
County Anti-Tuberculosis society will
reorganize this evening at S o'clock in
the Commercial club rooms.
DR.. s. Edgar Bond, secretary-treasur-
er of the society, who is leading in the
movement, says Wayne county is far
behind other counties of Indiana in the
war against tuberculosis and that very
little practical work to prevent and
stamp out the disease has been made
here.
1t is held by leaders that if the indi-
vidual citizen would realize the imper-
alive necessity of warning against the
malady, much progress would be made
in Richmond and Wayne county in
short time.
Plans Changes.
To effect this purpose the society
will this evening change its constitu-
ton and so alter its clauses that the
great mass of citizens will be enlisted
in the movement. The changes that
are planned will give the society active
workers in each ward and township.
The financial plans and publiciay de-
partment of the society will also be al
tered to some under the general scope
of the proposed change. The local So
! ciety will become an integral part of
the state society, which holds mem
bership in the national organization.
The sale of Red Cross stamps to
raise funds will be prosecuted by the
society during the holiday season. B.
F. Wissler, of Cambridge City. is presi-
dent of the Wayne county society.
The cooperation of wealthy citizens
will be asked.

ALTOONA
STILL OUT
New Ownership enIy Thing
to Save Situation for
Ram ROOterS
LEAGUE WILL HEAR
TROUBLE THRESHED OUT

Fans in Altoona have given up
hope Of having a club in the Tri-
State League next year. It is said
that the franchise will not be for
feited to the league was feared. but
this decision does not materially
strengthen the situation. The present
owners will probably sell the fran
chise and players pay off their debts
and quit baseball Speaking Of the
situation the Altoona Tribune had
the following to say:
1T looks as though the only saliva
tion for the game in this city is new
ownership. The Altoona franchise iB
possibly in better shape than any
other in the league at the present
time. The club started out last year
with clean slate. but the season was
not a prosperous one from the be-
ginning and the result was a big
deficit at the end Conditions became
so bad in the city that It was neces-
sary to transfer all the games at the
latter part OF the season and the
Mountaineers finished on the road
Lack Of interest in the game and lack
of patronage at Columbia Park
brought about the conditions and
likely the end of Tri-State baseball
i'm Altoona. The club is probably In
better shape than any other one and
once the money claims owing the
league and National association are
paid up the owners may realize
enough money in disposing OF the
players and franchise to wipe out all
Indebtedness of the club.
"The owners will have no trouble
in dlsposing Of the franchise and
players. There are several towns in
the eastern section of the state that
are anxious to get into the Tri-State.
Allentown Is one Of them and Easton
is another city that would not pass
nm a chance 10 break into the league.
Should the Altoona club owners de-
eide TO sell out they would have to
dispose Of the franchise to city that
would come within the jurisdiction OF
the Tri-State League. The sale and
transfer of the club would have the
sanction OF President Carpenter and
the league officials The matter Will
likely be one OF the things that VIII
come up at the coming annual meet
ing of the league to be held In Harris
burg this month. After the session
the Altoona club owners will know
better Just where they sand for the
coming season.
"There is nothing doing at Johns
town 10 get affairs Strengthened out
for baseball during the coming sea,
son. What the club owners In tna'
citv will do to retain its francnis'
and continue IN the league Is no
known and there seems to be iitti'
effort being made to get matters hxet
M to prevent the franchise being de-
clared forfeited taken up by th'
league and disposed of to some othel
city"

LOSE
ON ALAY DOWN

With one goal against them after
one-half OF play. the Philadelphia
Electrics quit on the Irish-American
soccer team here on Saturday saving
them from a much feared defeat. The
Electrics, who are rated As one Of.
the best independent soccer teams in
the East, came down confident Of TAX
ing the game bands down, but when
they failed to hang up a goal in the
first half of play the visitors we're
much disappointed and opened the
second half sulky.
Play on the second half had pro-
ceeded only a few minutes when
Referee Brown called a penalty on
the Quaker City aggregation. This
gave the Wilmington lads an oppor-
tunity to try for goal. Banks. the
lest fullback OF the visiting team,
caught the ball with his hands when
the locals tried for a goal kick. This
is in direct violation of the soccer
rules. The visitors claimed the de-
cision of the referre IN calling Banks
action a penalty. They then claimed
the referee was incompetent and that
Scaife. at goal. should not have been
permitted to play They refused to
go on further with the game, thereby
forfeiting it to the local eleven. The

ATHLETICS WILL
BEHARDTOBEAT
Frank Chance, Of the Cubs,
Makes a Statement TO
This Effect
YOUNG BLOOD
MILL COUNT AGAIN

Frank Chance, the peerless leader Of
the Chicago Cubs. is Of the opinion
that the Worlds Champion Athletics
will be invincible for at least another
year This statement made by Chance
recently in Los Angeles, is unique in
that. so far as known, he is the only
National League manager to voluntar-
lily recognize the superiority OF the
American League leaders.
"The great strength Of the Ath-
letics.' said Chance, "lies in the tact
that the Mack machine really has no
glarlng weak place in its lineup.
First base is the only position that is
open TO question, and | am not quail
fed TO pass on that for the simple rea-
son that did not have an opportunity
TO see McInnis in action. If he is as
good as claimed. the Athletic in6eld
practically is without flaw.
"Just to what extent McInnis would
have increased the effectiveness Of the
Athletics in the series with the New
York Giants is problematical, but
'Smffy' certainly made a fine and
dandy record during the regular sea-
son.
Mack has a fine pitching stan, his
outneld has shown it's ability TO deliver
tthe goods while the catching force
has demonstrated that II is good
enough for all practical purposes. In
short. the Athletics are a well-round-
ed baseball machine. and | believe that
they are I'm line for another worlds
championship, and possibly two.
Returning TO the Athletic pitching
staff, | regard Bender, as one of the
best heavers which the game has pro-
duced While Coombs won from Us
every time he started in 1910, he was
hit hard. but there Is no discounting
his ability
In my opinion, II will take from
one to three years for the National
League TO develop a team which is
capable OF wrestling the worlds title
from the Athletics Most OF McGraws
mainstays are comers and New York
should have a grand team two years
hence In fact Il Is possible that this
ls the team which eventually Will take
the measure OF the Athletics, although
I'm the process OF rebuilding we eN-

of this city. Frank is one OF the best
football men who ever went out OF
Wilmington II was part of his great
work which defeated the University
Of Pennsylvania this season. His team
also defeated Cornell to 0 with
Frank scoring the touchdown. He
also put up a great game carrying the
ball In the Indian game. Frank start
ed his football career on the Villanova
Prep. team. The later entered Mer-
cersburg Academy and his great work
there caused Head Coach Andy Smith
Of Penn, to have Frank enter Penn
which he did and his work while on
this team was so good that he was
picked for a place on the Varsity last
season, but he wanted TO change his
course, and entered Penn State In
stead. There he played a half hack
position and a few of the Eastern
newspapers picked him for the ALI
American second team. When the
football season closes next season
Frank is expected to have the honor
Of an All-American.
Happy New Year Again.
