Mark Twain wanted every

that we make a set at SO low

He said, Don't make fine
editions. Don't make editions
to sell for $500 and $500 and
$1,000. Make good books, books
good to look at and easy to

So we have made this set.

Ray Chappell Figures
in Trade For jackson

Chicago, Jan. 7.--Ray Chappel, the
Milwaukee outfielder who was recall
ed by Charles Comiskey for the White
Sox, will be turned over to the Cleve-
land club In final payment for Joe
Jackson. It is questionable whether
Jackson did not bring a higher price
in his sale to Chicago than any other
player in the history of the game.
To begin with Comiskey paid Somers
$4,000 in cash and gave Roth, n good
hitting outfielder, and Klepfer, a
pitcher of considerable ability. Now
Chappell is added, and only two years
ago Comiskey bought this player from
Milwaukee for $4,000, bringing the
price for Joe Jackson for over the
$4,000 mark which he paid for Ed
die Collins.
Chappell is said to be a much i'm
proved ball player over what he was
when he got his trial with the White
SoX, and it is believed he will make IA
first class man for the Indians. Roth
demonstrated good hitting ability dur
ing his stay with the team last season,
and Klepfer proved winning pitcher,
so that Somers' deal, which ridded the
Indians of Jackson, really was a piece
of good business.

Local basketball fans will have an
opportunity TO see the best passing
team in the Eastern League tomorrow
night. when the Camden five, known
in Eastern League circles as the "Ad-
ans Express will oppose the Harris
burg Independents. Jackie Adams has

three years and the nomdeplume is a
compliment to the speedy team work
he has developed.
Adams has guaranteed his regular
lineup for the game in Harrisburg
barring accidents, and local patrons
will have a chance to see the team at
its best. Jimmy Brown is again play
ing star game, and although in the
guard position, usually outscores his
opponent.
This will be the third Eastern
League team to play in Harrisburg
this year. The locals have split even
in their two games with league teams,
losing to Greystock. but winning from
Reading in an exciting game.
The Independents will work their
hardest to make it two wins out of
three from the big leaguers. All of
the regulars are in the best of con-
dftion with the exception of McCord,
who has had touch of grip. He did
not go to Shamokin to-day with the

No More Scouting by
National League Umpires
Special to the Telegraph

New York, Jan. Now that peace
has been restored in baseball, not only
the players but the umpires too will
nave to work under new restrictions.
In the contracts that have been ten
dered to some of the umpires who will
work for President Tener this year a
clause has been inserted prohibiting
the National League umpires from
scouting for any of the ball clubs, and
it also forbids them from signing
articles for newspapers or any other
publications. These new rules may
also be imposed on the American Lea
que umpires when President johnson
sends out the contracts for the men
that are to judge the play on that
circuit during the coming season.

SHA w, FORMER TRE-STATER
TO CARRY SOME WEIGHT

Jim Shaw, the Washington pitcher
and former Tri-Stater who was injur-
ed recently by the accidental discharge
of shotgun, will carry little extra
weight next season. And it will be
above his shoulders, where, James
himself intimates, he showed him
self little shy when he went on his
hunting trip.
The extra weight is in the shape
OF about thirty leaden pellets lodged
in his neck, the surgeons, when they
operated, being unable to get all Of
the shot without unnecessary and use-
less labor
Shaw is lucky in that he escaped
death and after that in that he is not

going to be doomed to have a stiff
neck all his life. He will be in shape
to pitch again next Spring. The
pitchers own story is that he was
more foolish than any newspaper
made him out to be.
Press accounts merely said that he
was climbing a fence with his gun
pointed toward him. Shaw says he
was on the fence, and saw. in an old
stone wall, what looked like a rabbit
hole. So he started poking around it
with the stock of his gun, the muzzle
of course in his hand, and pointed di-
rectly at his head. Something caught
the trigger and James caught the en-
tire charge which went through his
neck.

Remarkable Duckpin Score

Washington, Pa, Jan. 1.-THE most
remarkable exhibition of duckpin
bowling in the history of Washington
was given here last night by j. NJ.
Lane in a league match. In nine
games Lane dropped 1856 pins, or an
average of 139 40 per game. In his
first five games Lane averaged 153 4-5
pins per game, and in his fourth game
came within one pin of equalling the
Washington record of 194, held for
years by Robert Lobb. His scores for
the nine games follow: 1872, 153, 1872,

Another letter from Harrisburg has
reached John X. Tener, president of
the National League. This missive told
in detail baseball conditions in Harris
burg; as they were last summer and
are to-day. The letter was written by
a prominent local businessman who
has been identified with baseball for a
number of years. 1t looks as If Ed
ward G. Barrow would soon be forced
to tell the truth.
Efforts on the part of busin nessmen
and baseball enthusiasts to boost the
city's reputation as a baseball center
promise TO bring some good results.
There is no special effort being made
to have the International League place
a team in Harrisburg. If this city
offers advantages, league directors will
not pass ii up. What local hackers
desire is to have the baseball world
know about inducements offered by
this city for league games.
An effort is being made to organize
a Central Pennsylvania League with
Lebanon, Reading, Pottstown and
other eastern cities In the circuit. Pro-
moters must not overlook the fact that
there is a league of that name in this
vicinity, and until announcement is
made that there will be no more base
ball at New Cumberland, Steelton,
Highspire and Middletown it will be
profitable to keep hands off.
The annual series in the P. r. r.
Y. NJ. c. A. basketball league starts
next week. For five years this organ
ization has furnished interesting sport.
This year still better sport is promised.
There is a reason. Horace Geisel,
physical director at the local railroad
association, has been busy developing
young material. He has a bunch of
promising youngsters who will be in
the lineup and an emergency squad
to furnish four more teams.

players are receiving recognition in the
way of fat contracts and jobs in prefer

The figures which the department of has fur nhed in bulletin the of the United States with contiguous territories show large expansion in the trade with Porto Rico and Alaska and comparatively insignificant gains in the trade with Hawaii and the Philippines The Alas ka figures important volume and also of far To- cal interest.
 They show that during May of this year shipped to Alaska substantially double the value of goods shipped in May of last year, and that Alaska shipments to the United States than four times great they during May 1915
 For the eleven period the total shipments to Alaska valued than $24 4OO0O00 compared with $S 0000O0 during the period of the last fiscal year, while shipments from Alaska to the United States reached the extra ordinary figures of $450O00O0 increase of than $20 100000 those of last year The total of Alaska with the United States for the fiscal year about $80O0O in value The trade of Alaska with its relatively small number of inhabitants greater, both the import and the export sde the trade of the Philippines, and is expanding far faster

Tn the habeas corpus proceedings brought by Attorney l.. V. Ray, in the interests of Mrs. Alofar Dunlap. of An chorage, the court decided against the woman. Judge Browns decision is di- rectly opposite to a recent decision by Judge Jennings in the First district.
 Attorney Ray based his argument on the cases on which Judge Jennings rendered his decision that all criminal cases brought before a commissioner should be tried by jury. Mrs. Dunlap had waived trial by jury, and been found guilty of selling liquor unlaw, fully, and sentenced to one year in jail and also fined $500
