Army's Final Big Drive
Prior to Saturday Contest

West Point, n. Y, Nov. 21. = The
final big drive for the Ndvy contest is
now in full swing in the Army's camp.
The soldiers resumed their gridiron
work yesterday afternoon, going
through two hours of hard, grinding
maneuvering, with the coaches push
ing all hands to the limit. All varsity
men were in their positions, except
Vidal.
The Cadets star halfback was in the
Springfield game Saturday longer than
any of the other varsity men and the
mentors permitted him to rest to-day.
His place behind the line went to
Ford, who has been shifting back and
forth for fortnight between the
bacllfield and wings. Oliphant and
Place were the other backs, with Ger
hardt at quarter.
DAILY tried out all his reserve string
of quarters to-day. A suitable sub
stitute for Gerhardt is being sought
from among Kilburn, Johnson, Muir
rill and Mcneil. Stencil, who has
been guiding the Cullum Hall eleven,
from which the Army recruits its ma
terial for the big squad, was taken
over to the varsity to-day. He, too.
was tried at quarter. Murrilrs poor
work last week makes it uncertain
as to who will go in If Gerhardt Is un-
able to play throughout the game.

WELLYS

Three big games Saturday, Tech VS..
Steeltoa, Harvard VS.. Yale and Army
VS.. Navy. The game in this city will
decide the triangle contest Tech has
won from Steelton,. score Ia to 0, and
the Central games resulted to and
SO to for Steelton.
The proposition for a third league
looks good to baseball fans. 1t may
not come this year. There is also q
probability that the International
League may undergo a shake-up and
be placed on major league basis.
Altoona High will be in the field
next year with football eleven. For
eight years there have been no scho-
lastic games in Altoona. With the
reurn of the Mountain City boys to the
gridiron game Harrisburg elevens will
have chance for new games.
AS was expected, Tech has broken
off athletic relationship with Williams
port High. Central took similar ac-
ton two years ago. 1t is said that
Williamsport wanted to get into the
Pennsylvania Interscholastic League
this season. While the action of Tech
nical High athletic officials will re-
ceive strong endorsement, it is the
belief that Williamsport should have
had n chance to be heard. 1t is also
the belief that, having known of the
treatment accorded both Central and

Motion Pictures One of
China's Greatest Needs

DR.. John J. Mullowney of the State
Department of Health has just re-
ceived a letter from his friend, Tong
Shing Kow, who greatly de-plores
the death of General Hwang
EIsing and is gratified to refute the
story of the distinguished Chinaman's
assassination. Mr.. Tong states in his
letter to DR.. Mullowney that General
Hwang was accorded the greatest
honors. the president of the Republic
having issued mandate ordering the
flags at half mast throughout China.
He was buried in the national ceme-
terry and q bronze statue was ordered
erected to his memory.
Mr.. Tong speaks of many import
ant enterprises which We're under way
in connection with the dead general
and which will now have to be held in
abeyance until he can return to China
He says: There is one project which
sincerely hate to have delayed in it's
and that is the mo-
ton pictures for China. The more
study the possibilities of the motion
pictures, the more I am convinced of
China's great need in this respect"

FAvoRs THIRD BIG LEAGUE

Chicago, Nov. 81. - Ban Johnson,
president of the American League,
would not oppose" the formation of
a third major league. he said yester-
day. when recent gossip concerning
such an organization was brought to
his attention.
"In fact said Mr.. Johnson. 81 rath-
er like the idea" AS Mr.. Johnson was
the foremost foe of the Federal League
his attitude was regarded with unusual
interest"
Cities suggested in connection with
a third league are Baltimore, Buffa-
10, Newark and Toronto, Toledo. In
dianapoIis, Louisville and Milwaukee.
The plan as at present discussed is to
raise these cities to major league
standing by placing them outside the

American League Meeting;
to Consider Demands

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 21. - Ban john
son, president of the American League,
announced yesterday that the annual
meeting of the league will be held at
Hotel Lasalle in Chicago on December
IL.
One of the chief topics of discussion
at the meeting will be the demands
made by the Players Fraternity. The
players are said to have banded them
selves firmly together TO prevent any
thing like the cuts in salaries that are
predicted with the demise of the Fed
eral League. Several magnateS have
announced their intentions of taking
generous slice out of the salaries of
players whose wartime contracts
expire this year. There are only about
% players in both leagues who hold
contracts for 1917. The others will
refuse to sign new contracts, it is said,
unless the fraternity is granted its re-
quest for q new form of contract.

Managers

New York, Nov. II. = One of the
oddest things that has happened in the
annals of the Amateur Athletic Union
TOOK place yesterday at the annual
meetings. of the organization in the AS
TOR Hotel, when the delegates decided
that 1t was all right to have profess
sionals on the board of managers of
the body which controls amateur
sports in this country. Some of the
leading lights of the A. a. u. can
hardly be classed as Simon Pure"
and there was an element in the asso-
citation which wanted to see them put
under the ban.
one OF the prominent members in
the Metropolitan district who would
nave gone by the board would have
been Herman Obertubessing, the han
dlcapper of this association, for he
handicap he makes. The committee
on the revision of the constitution pro-
posed that none other than an anna
teur should sit in the councils, but
the delegates voted down the amend
ment. or course, those on the outside
looking in may laugh at the fact that
the professionals are allowed to work
the desunles of the amateurs who are
disqualified if they run in a novice
meet twice.

ably upon by the body was that made
by Ted" Meredith, former captain of
the Penn track team, who created
new intercollegiate 440-yard time last
Spring of AZ 2-5 seconds. Binga Dis
mond, of Chicago, was credited with
the same mark later, but this was dis
allowed because the track was found
to have been short.
Bob Simpsons record of ii 3-5 sec
onds for the 120-yard high hurdles,
made by the University of Missouri
hurdler was accepted, as was the two
mile indoor walking mark of George
II. Goulding, of Toronto, 13 minutes
and 81 seconds.
The new fifteen miles walking mark
of 2.06&, made by Edward Rense at
Celtic Park. New York, was rejected
on account of Indifferent timing. Dave
Caldwell, Boston Athletic Association,
who was credited with 1.13 1-5 for 600
yards, at Newark, N. J., will not have
his mark accepted because there was
no border around the track
The committee also rejected the
time of "a 20 seconds for a 22O-yard
low hurdle around a turn made by
Fred W. Kelly, Los Angeles, as no en-
try blanks or programs were printed
in keeping with laws governing the
running of events.

Catch Out the Black Bass.

A letter has been received from
Fish Commissioner John W. Titcomb,
requesting US to give notice that
black bass can be taken from the
different waters mentioned in the
article that follows, regardless of
the close of the season on black bass
from May LIST to June 18th Salem
Pond is now included in this list.
The reasons are as follows:
Whereas efforts are being made
to improve the fishing in Crystal
Lake in the town of Barton, Sey-
mour Lake in the town of Morgan,
Stone Pond in the town of Glover
and Echo Pond in town of Charles
ton, by the introduction of desirable
species of salmonidae and to foster
the protection and growth of said
species, and whereas the waters of
said lakes are infested with black
bass, a species which prevents or
binders the accomplishment of the
objects above set forth, permission
is hereby given all citizens of the
United States to remove from the
waters of Crystal Lake, Seymour
Lake, Stone Pond, Salem Pond, and
Echo Pond. during the close season
on black bass any or all of such
species of fish, i. e. black bass, while
angling for other fish for which
there is an open season on
May LIST. In other words, the close
season on black bass from May 1st
to June 18th is to be disregarded as
is also the limit as to size and num-
Der of bass to be taken in one day.
The Fish and Game Commissioner
reserves the right to prescribe such
restrictions as may be needed from
time to time or to withdraw this
permit on any date.
Issued by authority of Sec. 65
No. 201, Acts of 1912.

the following is a fire story, an i'm
propriety or a new but perilous
system of home therapeutics
AS Mrs. Henry Somers' hams
were smoking on her back piazza in
West Barnet some of the fire fell
through the iron kettle and set the
barrel on fire. The fire communi-
Gated to the piazza and burned part
of the structure and sill of the house.
Men passing discovered the state of
affairs, aroused Mrs. Somers, who
was asleep, and tore off a piazza
post to extinguish the blaze"
In any event, it must be conceded
that Mrs. Somers was terribly care
less to fall asleep at her post.
