Football For Red Cross;
Proceeds to Patriotic Fund

New York, Aug. S.-While moth
ing was said at the conferences of
the National Collegiate Association
at Washington, last week, there is a
definite idea that football in the fall
will be employed in some way or
other to raise funds for patriotic
purposes. This does not mean that
collections will be taken in the
stands as was the case last year and
the year before, but that contests
will be arranged, proceeds of which
will be donated to some such fund
as that of the Red Cross. Sol Metz
ger. the Washington and Jefferson
coach, has been working on the idea
One suggestion is that a post-season
series between teams composed of
All-Eastern, or "All-American Play
ers," be played. There may be no
doubt that games of the sort would
prove attractive and reap rich
harvest of money.

GAMES IN ALLISON HILL LEAGUE---RE
WILD LIFE LEAGUE. PLANS
BIG PROGRAM FOR FALL;
MEET AT CONNEAUT LAKE

Local members of the Wild Life
League of Pennsylvania are planning
to send a large delegation to the
third annual meeting. 1t will be
held at Conneaut Lake beginning
September 8. The program calls for
sport contests of all branches, in
cluding motorboat races. ....
The swimming, diving, canoeing
and skiff racing events will constitute
program which will be practically
completed on Labor Day, and are
expected to draw some hundreds of
entries. 't.t.-
The beagle men are enthusiastic
over the prospect for the field trials
for beagles, to be held at the league
meeting. 1t has been decided to hold
six events instead of the five as orr
ginally scheduled. There will be
two open events for beagles, one in
the 13-inch class and one in the 10
inch class, with a entry fee of $40;
70 per cent. of the entry fees to
constitute a purse, to be divided 40,
20 and 10.
There will probably also be a
handsome trophy for each of these
events. Besides the two open events,
there will be a Derby race and an
all-age race in both the 13 and Is
inch classes, and an inspection of the
courses at Conneaut Lake, made last
week, indicates that rabbits are eX-
ceedingly plentiful, so that there will
be plenty of chases for the little
hounds.
Bird Dog Trials
The splendid Matching season for
birds in Crawford county has
brought about a fine outlook for the
bird dog trials. Heretofore the trials
at Conneaut Lake have been mark
ed by a scarcity of birds, but this
year within a mile of the lake there
have already been found more than
ten covies of quail and four big
punches of ringneck pheasants, to say
nothing of four or five covies of
grouse. The news that the birds are

Old Rosebud Wins Race;
Was Good Money Event

Saratoga, Aug. S.-Old Rosebud
avenged his defeat on the opening
day here in full measure when he
sprinted to victory over Capra and
Roamer in the Delaware handicap,
the feature of yesterdays racing. AL
though the event was set down for
a mile contest, there was no loafing
at any stage, for Capra was a long
way off as soon as the barrier went
up, and forced her opposition to
step right after her at the end. Old
Rosebud was hanging to Capra's tail
throughout, with Ina Frank swing
ing alongside at u merry clip.
At the turn Old Rosebud went
into the lead and Roamer moved
with him. The trio fought 1t out
throughout the final running and
the Applegate gelding stuck his nose
on the tape first with Capra lowering
the colors of Roamer..

FIVE YANKEES
GET DRAFT CALL
Bob Shawkey, Former Harris
burg Twirler, Must I'm
dergo Examination

New York, Aug. S.-When the re-
turns first came in from Washington
on the drawing of numbers for the
| new National Army it appeared that
Bill Donovan's Yankees would hear
little about it. Most of them had
numbers which were we'll up in tho
draw. 1t now develops that several
members of the Yankee squad must
present themselves for examination.
To date five of the players have re-
celYed notification to present them
selves before examining boards 10
undergo the tests for army service.
Slim Love, who towers feet 1s
inches in his bare feet and would
add another inch to his height in
army shoes, had his examination
yesterday. Slim was ordered by his
home board of San Francisco to
make his appearance, and he ar
ranged for the test here. Somebody
identified with the examining board
informed Slim that his excessive
height impaired his chances of being
accepted, but Love has had no Off
cial notification to this effect. The
papers will be sent to Sims home
district, and action will be taken
there. AS Slim is married and his
wife is entirely dependent upon him,
he put in claim for exemption on
these grounds.
Orders to Report
Elmer Miller, Tim Hendrix and
Frank Gilhooley have received or
ders from their home cities to re-
port for examination. Miller resides
in Sandusky, Ohio, and Hendrix in
New Orleans. Each has sent home
to make arrangements for examina-
ton here, as neither is able at this
time to make the journey home.
Both players are married and each
has a small child, SO their chances
of exemption are good.
Gilhooley left last night for To-
ledo, Ohio, to present himself be-
fore the examining board of his
home precinct. He will first stop
off at Cleveland for an X-ray photo
graph of his injured collarbone, as
he does not have to report for eX-
animation until Friday. He expects
to rejoin the Yankees at st. Louis
next week, but may receive a call TO
report before the season is over.
Gilhooley is unmarried.
Shawkey on List
Another player who has received
orders to report for examination is
Pitcher Bob Shawkey. Shawkey
makes his home in Philadelphia,
and registered from that city. His
number was in the first thousand
drawn at Washington-in fact, the
lowest among the Yankees-and he
has been expecting orders for sew
eral days. He will present himself
before the examining board at Phil
adelphia tomorrow morning. He
will leave New York Immediately
after to-day's game with the Tigers.
Shawkey is married, and may be
exempted for that reason. Other
members of Donovan's team are
wondering what the mailman may
leave for them during the next few
days.

on hand will be especially acceptable
to the large number of lovers of the
setter and pointer who are planning
on taking their dogs to the lake.
There will be three races for bird
dogs, a derby for dogs whelped on or
after January l, 1916; an all-age
stake, open to nonwinners of pre-
vious field trials, and an open stake,
open to any setter or pointer. The
latter will be a purse event, the
purse consisting of 70 per cent. OF
the entry fees, which will be $40.
Rife and revolver shooters will be
glad to know that the range at Con-
neaut Lake is already in fair con-
dition, and the leagues great series
of rifle and revolver contests, which
are equaled only by the national
competitions, are sure to be a sue
cess. There will be team matches
between teams from the various civil
liam rifle clubs connected with the
National Rifle. Association under N.
r. A. rules.
Open Shoot Challenge
An open challenge to all Pennsyl-
vania rifle clubs has been issued by
the Elwood City Club This will be
shot on Labor Day. There will be
individual championship matches at
200 yards and rising bear and run
ming deer matches at 100 yards for
rifle, with 50-yard running deer
match for ladies. There will also
be standard 50-yard revolver
match and running deer and rising
bear matches at the same distance.
Sportsmen from all over the state
expect to be present, and take part
in the various events mentioned, as
we'll as in the bait and fly casting
and angling contests and coon, fQS
and bear dog trials. The conditions
for the latter will be announced next
week. The outlook is that at least
10000 sportsmen will be at the lake
during the week of Labor Day, and
it will be by all odds the greatest
event of its sort in the United States.

New York, Aug. THE idea that
all ballplayers must be physically
fit for service in the army appears
to be erroneous. Heinie Groh, third
baseman of the Cincinnati Reds, re-
ceived orders several days ago to
report for examination, and Heinie
reported. He got away well in the
physical test until one of the ex-
aminers noted that his fingers were

pension, has announced his resigna-

moved tooth brush, talcum powder
and bathrobe, and reparted, much
to the disgust of his former team
mates.

fingers in fielding batted or thrown
balls, and they did not come back"
AS a result Groh was rejected by
the examining board. August Herr
mann, president of the Cincinnati
club, made this announcement
shortly after his arrival to attend a
meeting of the National Commits
sion. If the same rule is to be fol-
lowed it means that several ball
players who are otherwise physi-
eally fit will be rejected by the ex-
amining board.
