Reported Under Agreement
to Play With Athletics.

Rumor has II that Harry Legore. short

Athletic when he Is graduated from Yale.
The x-MercersburE Academy star has
several inducements to give up his college
career and take up professional baseball
From Il reliable authority it is learned
that Connie Mack has an option on Le-
cores services and has offered him $4,000
to sign a contract to play ball with the
Maclmen. Legore promised Mack that II
he decided to play professional ball after
completing his college course he would
sign with the Athletics
But Legore is a fortunate youngster,
who will not have to play ball for a
livelihood. His father is the owner of the
city of Legore, Md and Harry will have
quite enough to do in helping TO handle
the city's municipal affairs. Mack Is
credited with saying Legore has one of
the finest throwing arms he has ever seen.
jim Legore, a brother to Harry. was also
n great athlete. The Older brother Is now
engaged as athletic instructor at the Uni

But the National League has had 20
years to build up-the American League 10
and the Feds are now starting their
second campaign. In which brief time
they have done wonderfully we'll; just as
any enterprising set of citizens who have

The Feds started out TO be a major

If they can maintain their present pace.
But sport is matter of tradition and

enough?

Bryan today instructed Minister Gonzales,

II was understood from Havana dis
patches that Johnson had already re-

The state Departments understanding,
however, is to the contrary. At all

BATTlEFIELD TRENCHES ARE
DECORATED BY SCULPTORS

Cologne, July 10.-A letter from a
German soldier in France describes
company in which amateur or pro.
fessional sculptors, as well as some
landscape architects, are present in
large numbers. The ternches in which
the company lies accordingly have
taken on an extraordinarily decorative
appearance.
In an underground shelter from 50
to 60 feet under the surface of the
earth, the company's sculptors have
evolved faithful likenesses of Presi-
dent Poincare of France, Lord
Churchill of England, and the Kaiser,
the latter with a two-mark piece re
lief as model.
In addition there are caricatures of
a "Suffragette," of "JOhn Bull" and
other familiar characters.
The same sculptors have provided
monuments for the graves of their
fallen comrades, who are buried in a
little cemetery some distance back of
the trenches. The latter are veritable
flower gardens in which the art of the
artist has had full sway

GERMAN ENGINEERS DOING
A VAST WORK FOR TURKEY

Constantinople, July 1O.-(Corres-
pondence of the Associated Press).-
The announcement that the two
drives of the Bagtsche tunnel met to-
day marks the practical completion
of the toughest piece of work on the
famous Bagdad railway, and is anoth-
er instance of the work that German
engineers are carrying out for the
economic development of Turkey.
The tunnel is cut through solid gran
ite of such a hard character that
about 1,500 steel drills were used up
daily in each of the two headings.
On the southeast side, it was neces
sary to transport the huge boilers for
the air-condensers in sections, with
dozens of oxen to draw each load
over the primitive mountain roads;
and on the other side a narrow-gauge
railway, some twenty miles long, with
many curves and switcht acks, had to
be built for the purpose of bringing
up supplies.
The tunnel is not a very long one
(only little more than three miles,
but, owing to the character of the
rock and other obstacles it required
four years to cut ii. 1t passes through
the Amanus mountains which extend
northwards along the coast of Syria,
separating the table-land around Alep-
po from the low plain of Cilicia. 1t
will connect the bay OF AleXandretta
with points in Mesopotamia consid-
erably to the east of the Euphrates
river.
AS building northwest along the tt
girls from Bagdad is proceeding, not
withstanding the war, it is expected
now that the entire road will be fin
ished before the end of 1916, or at
latest early in 1917 From the bay
