The baseball scouts of the big lea
que clubs. who have completed their
annual reports for the year. are al
most unanimous in declaring that the
general run of material in the bush
leagues last season was below the cali
her of previous years and that few
players were uncovered who showed
promise of making good in the major
leagues without a long drawn out
polishing process by working UP
through the various minor leagues.
Ulrich Salchow, former holder of the
worlds amateur figure skating cham
pionship. has arrived in this country
from Sweden and will start soon on a
tour of the United States, giving ex-
hibitions at the principal artificial and
natural ice Kinks of the larger cities.
Szlchow has had a remarkable career
in his chosen line of competition. Be-
tween 1901 and 1911 he won the worlds
amateur championship at figure skat-
ing ten times-not competing in 1905,
nor has he competed in a championship
since 1911.

FOR ALL JITNEYS
Are Common Carriers, Public
Servic Commission Decides
in Important Opinion

Iitneys are common carriers within
the meaning of the Pennsylvania Pub
lie Service law and can only be oper-
ated when their owners have obtained
certificates of public convenience from
the Public Service Commission which.
however. will grant authority to oper-
ate only when applicants for certifi-
Gates show that they have safe and
adequate vehicles according to a de-
cision of the commission given to-day.
The opinion was written by Chairman
Ainey and refuses a certificate to
Peter Groco, against whose operation
of a jitney the Allegheny Valley Street
Railway had filed a protest.
The opinion is the first in which the
commission has taken stand against
jitneys not of sufficient size to meet de-
mands of traffic. 1t lays down rules
and under the decision will come
probably score or more of jitney
operators in Western Pennsylvania
who have been complained against,
while the case will furnish a prece-
dent in other cases which may be
brought

The need for a suitable hall for in
door sports is keeping Harrisburg out
or some good attractions. While the
Harrisburg Independents are doing
their level best to keep up interest in
basketball there are a number of teams
begging for a place to play. With the
introduction of an amateur league the
demand for suitable hall will be in
creased.
What this city ought to have is a
building suitable for all athletic pur-
poses and adjoining a field where base
ball and other outdoor games and sports
could be held. There are athletic asso-
Citations sufncient in Harrisburg to sup
port an enterprise OF this kind.
This week will find the scholastic
basketball game as an attraction. Tech
starts Friday. Games will be played
In the Armory. The Hassett Club sea-
son is on full blast, and in addition
to the attractive schedule offered by
the Harrisburg Independents, Central
