RAID BY THE FEDS
IS EXPECTED SOON
Fielder Jones Hired to Get After
Players; Drafting Season
Is Now On

With the major league drafting sea-
decide the drafts on September 10,
minor league players are on the anx-
ious bench. That there will be more
drafts than sales this season is a fore
gone conclusion. Drafting a player
saves money. Only part of the draft
ing price is paid when the player re-
ports and the balance if the player
makes good.
An invasion by the Federal League
magnates is anticipated by the minor
moguls. While there may be offers
for players and some may sign up
with the Feds, there is another move
more feared by organized baseball,
which the Federal League magnates
are contemplating. A dispatch from
New York to the Public Ledger, Phila-
delphia. says:
Fielder Jones has been signed up
supposedly to devote his services eX
cluslveiy to the management of the
st. Louis Federals. But the real job
that confronts the old White Sox
leader is said to be that of attempting
to win the minor leagues from the
embrace of organized baseball and
getting them to join hands with the
Feds.
Jones On War Path
Jones. proceeding about his mis-
sion. probably will carry an olive
branch in one hand and bludgeon
in the other. The minors who think it
is a wiser plan to spurn the olive
branch and to stick to Johnson, Herr
mann ct al. will then be made to feel
the sting of the club.
Jones probably will point out to
the minor leaguers that if they come
over to the Feds they will, of course,
no longer be subject to Federal raids.
The Feds will n htIN
minor league stars at prices equal to
that which they could get for them
If they sold them to the American or
National Leagues.
p" If you don't come with us We'll
raid you. will be the gist of the Jones
your best players and YOU won't get
dollar for them because we'll deal
direct with the players.
Come with us and We'll guarantee
YOU our fullest protection. And we'll
keep our word, which is something
more than the big powers in baseball
have done. The national agreement,
of which every big and little organ
lied league in the country is q part,
provides that in tipes of trouble the
big fellows must stand by you. Have
they done this? Have they helped
YOU? The Federals have raided you,
taken your best players and caused
YOU to suffer big losses. without the
big fellows raising a hand in your
defense"
Jones is to get a salary of $4,000
a year for three years and I'm addi-
tion, $4,000 block of the st. Louis
Federal stock. Should he succeed in
causing some of the minor leagues to
jump to the Federals, he will have
more than earned his salary. The
minor leagues act as the foundation
that supports the American and Ma
tional Leagues. Without them the two
big leagues would have a struggle"

HOUCK is WINNER
WITH KNOCKOUT BLOW

Youngstown, Ohio. Sept. S.-Tommy
Gavigan, of Cleveland, made a game
attempt as a comeback here yesterday.
He would have succeeded but for a
right-hand vicious blow to the jaw de-
livered by Leo Houck, of Lancaster,
Pa, that sent him sprawling to the
floor.
In the confusion that followed the
knockdown the referee failed to count
and the captain of police rushed to the
ring, ordering the bout stopped.
Houck should be given credit for
knockout, for from the ringside it APP
peared in continuing the bout even if
he had been able to rise before
count of ten.
The blow that finished the fight was
landed within a minute after the elev-
enth round had begun.
Had Gavigan not met with Houcks
right in the eleventh he would no
doubt have earned a draw. although
Houck had the better of the mill up
to the sixth round. After that time
Gavigan began to display more fight
ing spirit and although the bout at
no time was a spectacular affair, the
final rounds were aggressively con-
tested,

MORE CONSERVATION
Commissioner Contrasts Conditions
Here With Those That Pre-
vail in Europe

State Commissioner of Health SAM
uel G. Dixon reminds the people of
Pennsylvania in his monthly statement
that their work in these days of storm
and stress in the construction of hu-
man life, resources and energy. A
great opportunity is afforded to Penn
sylvania to-day, he says. and he calls
upon the people to make conservation
their principle.
The commissioners statement saws:
The involvement of the larger por-
! ton of the civilized world in war
fare, the frightful destruction of
human life due to modern arms, and
the Vastness of the operations has TO-
cused the attention of our entire ma
ton upon the events occurring across
the seas and has cast a gloom over
the minds of all thinking men.
Within a generation phenomenal
strides have been made toward the
conservation of mankind throughout
| the world. We have begun to learn
how to preserve the weak and protect
the strong from disease. Already the
efforts along these lines have resulted
| in enormous economic havings and
have made possible gigantic monu-
ments to the constructive ability of
mankind, such as the Panama Canal.
When the great nations of the
] world are sending the flower of their
manhood to destruction 1t is almost
natural to feel that efforts to conserve
! life are ephemeral. However, when
the work of destruction has ceased the
work of rebuilding must begin. The
economic struggle for existence will
be keener than ever before in the his
tory of the world and the conserva-
| ton of the health of the peoples
struggling to recuperate will be a still
greater factor in their efforts to re-
gain their physical and economic
equilibrium.
/ AS nation we are in a unique and
! important position; to maintain which
we will need sound bodies and sane
minds.
Let us continue with redoubled vigor
the work of improving individual and
public health.

In Fast Game-Reeord Crowd Sees Great Pitchers 5attle-seore to n

The largest crowd of the season as- sembled on the Cranberry Sunday afternoon and saw the Bearcats win out from the weakened All Stars by the score of to o. The game was a great pitchers battle between Brick ley of the Stars and Johnston or the Bearcats. Johnston struck out IT men and Brickley 10. The Bearcats made six hits off Brickley and the Stars only two off Johnston's delivery. These came in the eight inning.
 Bill Stanley, whose work in the field shone like a. beacon light opened the eighth with a sharp single and Daly a slashing double to left center. Johnsten famed the next three bat tors, Brickley pitched the best game of his career and if given fast sup port the contest might have been a scoreIess tie. The score was l to 0 up to the seventh inning and tEen two errors and a couple of singles started the Bearcats scoring. Bill Stanley the N. F. A. star and Daly at first contributed the fielding features for the All Stars while Germain in the left garden and McSheffrey at the initial sack exceHed for the Bearcats. Next Sunday the management will se- form on the Cranberry and will strengthen the Star lineup. which was weakened by the absence of Murphy, Dugas, Young and l.. Stanley.

MATTY CHANGES HIS STYLE.
Fourteenth Year of Old Master Being
 Made Successful by This Use.

Old Man Christy Mathewson is lead ing the pitchers of both the American and National leagues. The remarkable part, though, Is that he is doing it at the age of 33, and during the shank end of his 14th season in fast company. None of the other star pitchers is any where near Matty's record of games won, and none of them has pitched anywhere near as many games. A unique feature of Mathewson's pitch ing this year is that he has changed his style in many ways and nobody ap- pears to have noticed it.. This season he has given more bases on balls and has hit more batters than in any pre- vious one. He has dropped his old system of control first. last and all the time, and as result thereof has the boys guessing. Instead of putting the ball over the plate every time he is putting more stuff on the ball, and the occasional bursts of wf1dness only &C., centuate his control when he needs it. For years batters have been able to face Matty feeling assured that he would make no wild pitches nor give base on balls. They would step right in and hit at the first one, feeling pretty sure that it would be over. This year things are different. The bean ing of several batters has helped to keep them away from the plate.

sEMI.FINALs TO-DAY.
Rain Caused Tennis Postponement- Mclaughlin Picked to Win Cham, Pionship Again.

Rain at Newport Saturday caused the postponement of the tennis semi finals until today. It had been hoped that the national tournament could be concluded in seven playing days, and for five days the programme went along without hitch.
 F Few there are who believe Maurice E. Mclaughlin can be beaten. w. J. Clothier, who will meet the champion in the semi-inals, however, has many friends and has gained in public sup port by the strong games he displayed all week. Many look for sharp close contest between the Californian and the Philadelphian.
 In the other half of the semi finals are R. Norris Williams. 2d, and Ella F. Fottrelk The formers easy win over Karl H. Behr on Friday and Fot- trells excellent showing throughout the tournament have given the friends of both players encouragement. Will Hams. however, has the larger num- Der of supporters. He has beaten William M Johnston, A. s. Dabney, c. A. Major and Karl H. Behr. while Fottrell has won from A Phillips, G. Roberts, c. L. Childs, N. w. Niles and G. F. Touchard. On the record Williams has a shade the better of his opponent.
