OF QUOT LEAGUE HAS CLOSE RACEHOPE FOR YALE PLAYER
WELLYS KSGoRNER

Between now and April 1 many
thousand dollars will be paid out by
fight fans in the United States, to see
.contenders for various titles in cham
pionship battles. Few knockouts are
anticipated. AS long as the public is
willing to pay, fighters will continue
to dance around the ring, tap each
other occasionally, and let the public
do the talking as to results. What is
needed in every State is a boxing COM
mission that will make fighters fight.
According to the International aver
ages, players on the Harrisburg list
are worth something. Even, if none
or the major league managers picked
them out In draft season. there will
now be a lively chase for several local
stars, since it is known they can play
ball. At the lowest possible estimate
the Harrisburg players are worth be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. If every
player was sold, local creditors would
be sure of getting their cash
Much interest is manifested in the
meeting of the International League
scheduled for Monday. The opinion
that Harrisburg should send com
mittee of businessmen to New York to
see that President Barrow in his re-
port treats Harrisburg Justly, is grow
ing stronger each day. Tom Fogerty

Encouragement
Special TO The Telegraph

New Haven, Conn, Dec. There
is some hope for the reinstatement of
Legore. Reports following the re-
turn of Prof. R. n. Corwin after the
conference in New York indicate
favorable action soon.
With regard to the possible rein
statement of Harry Legore, Spencer
Pumpelly, William Easton. Robert
Rhett and Arthur Milburn. Prof.
Corw1n indicated that one ruling will
be adopted covering their case. Ac-
cordlng to the general impression on
the Yale campus prospects for the re-
lnStatement of the men are bright.
Prof. Corwin said regarding their
case:
In connection with the revision of
the rules and discussion concerning
the attitude TO be taken by thezthree
universities with regard to summer
baseball, the case of the five Yale
players who withdrew from participa-
aon In intercollegiate athletics this
ran upon discovering that they had
violated the Yale rule covering this
matter, was considered informally.
This subject fell outside the purpose
or the meeting and the committees did
not, OF course, feel competent to mass
on the case. There was, however. n
very full discussion of the matter in
all its bearings. 1t is expected that
following further discussion of the
new regulations as Professionally ac-
cepted for the university a duplicate
ruling will be made with regard to the
athIetlc status of the five Yale men"

JOE WOOD LEADS

Walter Johnson Is Close Sec
ond For Seasons Honors;
Three Other Winners

The question Has Smoky joe
Wood gone back?' asked so often last
season, is apparently answered by the
official American League pitching rec
ords made public to-day. The Boston
speed monarch led all the hurlers of
his league with an average of 1.49
runs per nine-inning game. In COM
pairing Woods record with Walter
Johnson's, who ranks second, it must
be remembered that the Washington
man worked in AZ games, including
S362-S innings, while the leader
labored in but contests and only
157 1-3 innings.
The table OF records shows distinctly
how poor a grade of pitching Connie
Mack got last season. The leading
Athletic pitcher is knowlson, ranking
No. AZ, with an average of 3.49 runs
per game.
Shore. Foster and Leonard, world s
series stars of the Red SoX, are found
among the leaders, but their averages
for the season in the regular pennant
race do not compare with the effect
iVeness they showed when pitted
against the Phillies in the blue ribbon
event of baseball. Shore is third,
Foster eighth and Leonard fifteenth.

Albany, \. Y, Dec Z. Edward f.
Mccall, of New York, former Justice

last night removed from office as chair
man of the Downstate Public Service
Commission by Governor Whitman,
who sustained in part the charge pre-
ferred against the Commissioner by the

the Legislature.
The Governors decision was that Nc
Call. in violation of the Public Service
Commission law. owned stock in a cor

The Governor said that to-day he
would designate Commissioner William
Hayward, of New York, as temporary

appoint a commissioner to fill the va

Grantland Rice, who pounds out
some clever stuff for sporting pages of
various newspapers, jumps in to the
class of star-eleven pickers by choos-
ing an all-Michigan team to lineup

ers. He figures that the game can be
played in Madison Square Garden and
the proceeds be given for Andrew Car
negie, who is down to his last 100000

One of the features of this imagin-
airy game, created. and played in &c.

Phllbln of the Yale all-stars to slip
outside of tackle, but Curtis, of Michi-
gan, lifts him up and tries to pick his
teeth with the Yale player when the
officials interfere and penalize Michi-
gan for unnecessary impoliteness.
The game ended with the ball in

the exhaustion shown by the players

Dressings for Soldiers, Wounds.

The demand for dressing materials
that is, materials for dressing wounds
lis reported as immense in Europe,
and Krecke, a German military sur
geon. is quoted by the Medical Record
as prophesying that in this war the
incapacitated will reach 80 per cent
of the actual combatants. Economies
are being practiced in dressing the
wounds of soldiers, small wounds be-
ing fixed up with little null and a
patch of adhesive plaster instead of
a wad of cotton and long strips of
bandage. Padding material is being
used by the surgeons generally only
for fractures, Roller bandages are
being used as seldom and as sparingly
as possible. Plaster of paris dressings
for gunshot fractures are being used
as one of the economies in the military

The exceedingly minute organism

tanned its poisonous qualities for more
than year in cultures kept by Doctor
Flexner, Doctor Noguchi, and DR. Har-

mental Medicine says that inoculations
of cultures into monkeys which fail to
produce paralysis may fail also to in

The experiments prove more strongly
that the organism in monkeys is the

WONDERFUL ENGINES OF WAR
Marvellous Are the Devices That Are
Being Employed by the op-
posing Armies.

The Germans have adopted several
ingenious devices to cope with prob
lens not foreseen at the start of the
war. such as armored car destroyers,
quick-fring guns on motorcycles,
canal gunboats, and other similar in
ventions. A wonderful stereo-telescope
produced by the famous firm OF Beiss
deserves inclusion. Every battery of
German artillery is provided with one.
1t is a remarkable instrument, which
can be used behind cover out or
sight of the enemy The outstanding
features are two long slender arms
rather like the antennae of an insect.
Though absolutely invisible at a very
short distance, the antennae can give
the hidden operator very extensive
view. To insure the accurate drop
ping of bombs from aeroplanes, the
Germans have an air-gun appliance
viii =. pushes the bomb out from the
back of the aeroplane with the same
velocity as that at which the aero
plane is flying, thus doing away with
the curve with which the bomb would
fall If mel ely dropped by hand. Quite
number of small German aeroplanes
are fitted with wireless apparatus
capable of transmitting messages a
distance of 80 miles, but another inge-
NOUS method of signaling is to blow

He was in wretched condition
clothing scant and filthy. We receiv-

Home, and after an investigation
which resulted in confirming the
boys statement, and showing that his
father was unable to protect him
from his mothers abuse. we had him

different men, and sometimes with
their father, ragpicker, who is de-
