PITT GRIDDERS
BACK FROM CAMP
Coach Glenn Warner Is Certain
of Another Strong Team; Last
Seasons Stars Back

Pittsburgh, Pa. Sept. %. - The
preliminary training season Tor the
University of Pittsburgh gridiron con-
tingent, which began on September 6,
was brought to a close to-day, when
camp was broken and the players left
for Pittsburgh, in order to be settled
in their permanent quarters by the
time recitations begin, Monday next.
The almost ideal conditions sur
rounding the mountain camp and the
cool, bracing weather which has been
encountered during much of the period
has assisted Coach Warner in bringing
his men to the exact point of condi-
tioning desired, and the squad is now
in excellent shape for the hardest sort
of work.
During the two weeks remaining be-
fore the opening of the season, on Oc-
tober 7th, practice will be continued
at Trees Stadium and at Forbes Field.
Last Seasons Stars
Developments during the first two
weeks of varsity practice indicate that
the Panther lineup will include as
first string men at least seven or eight
of the stars of last years eleven, the
gaps caused by graduation and ineligi-
bility being filled by second string
players of the 1915 organization The
team will probably carry about as much
weight as last years, and 1t is not be-
lieved that there will be any falling
off in speed. Those who have watched
Warmers men in the early season
scrimmages are confident that the
great coach will present machine the
equal of the 1915 champions. Players
who are showing exceptional form are
Thornhill, the crack tackle, Heron
and Carlson, ends, and McLaren, who
is playing a great game at fullback.
Sizes, one of the biggest men on the
squad, Is being used at quarter and
has n strong asset In his punting. If
successful in winning the assignment
he will be perhaps the largest quarter
back in the country.

home for elderly people at Windsor,
was indicted for first degree murder
on five counts by the grand jury yes

Will the greatest freak in basebalFs
entire history-the winning of both
major league pennantS on the last day
of the season-be repeated?
Only once in the history of the game
have the two major league races been
so close so late in the season. Several
close that the winner was not deter
mined until the last few days of the
season, but only in 1908 We're the lead
ing teams of both leagues SO closely
punched at this time.
Last Day Decision
In 1905 the American League race
was not decided until the last day,
while in the National it was necessary
to play off a tie game to decide the
winner.
Conditions are almost identical with
those of 1908, excepting that the East
is monopolizing the leading positions
in the National League to-day whereas
the West had the American League
race all to itself in 1908. Merkle's fail
ure to touch second when Bridwell
singled, scoring Mccormick with the
winning run of the third game of the
last series between the Giants and the
Cubs, cost New York the pennant in
1908, as the Cubs and Giants were
deadlocked at the end of the regulation
season The board of directors of the
league ordered the disputed game,
which never had been finished-the
teams being tied when the crowd
rushed upon the field-played over and
the Cubs won from the peerless
Mathewson.

Samuel G. Dixon, head of the State
Health Department, came here yester-
day and with DR.. b. r. Roger, his
first assistant, examined Joseph Nor
man, the leper, to determine whether
or not he had been cured. They
found that the patient has wonder
fully improved and thug ne shows no
traces of the disease at present.
Doctor Dixon said that he saw no
danger in lifting the quarantine that
has kept Norman and his family pris-

years. Before this is done. however.

Baseball Grenades For
U. S. Army Most Deadly

Washington, d. c., Sept. 22. -
Within a short time the United States
army will have what Is likely to be
the most deadly hand grenade of any
of the armies of the world, for use in
trench and other close fighting. 1t
is wonderful instrument of warfare,
invented by an American army officer
on duty at the War Department 1t
is of the shape and size of the ordin-
ary big league baseball. 1t is thrown
exactly as a baseball is thrown and
can therefore be placed with deadly
accuracy"
The most marvellous feature about
the new grenade is that 1t can be
handled with complete safety when
not intended to deal destruction to
the enemy. Unlike the hand grenades
now in use in Europe, it will not ex-
plode If dropped. The slight twist
given the ball in throwing causes a
little instrument to set the plunger In
the grenade so that it explodes when
it reaches it's destination.
