Politicians Angry
Politicians realized to-day they
had suffered a racking body jolt.
And from certain quarters in Con-
gress a lusty howl is going up. For
the first time many Congress men,
bers learned that many of the ex-
emption boards which will single
out the men for Americas new ma
tional armies are virtually formed
and ready for announcement.
Dozens of Congressman who have
been tirelessly busy in suggesting
their men" for places on these
boards, upon learning that the
boards were picked without the
slightest attention having been paid
to their suggestions, are besieging
the War Department, demanding to
know how 1t happened.
AS a matter of fact. 1t was done
with extreme premeditation. In
forming the local exemption boards
the War Department utilized regis
tration boards, giving state COVER
hors opportunity to suggest changes
when any members were obviously
or inclined too much
toward politics. This headed off po-
litical troubles, since the registration
boards were organized without po-
litical consideration.

MOGULS
NEED :. K. TENER:
STRONG LEADER

upon the National League that he
was in no sense q candidate, but
would not decline If unanimously
elected. BY many of his friends 1T
is asserted that this is exactly his
attitude regarding reelection.
He will not seek the office, but If
the league sees fit to give him an
other term it is entirely reason
able to expect that he would accept.
1t can be safely said that there is
no other candidate in the minds of
the National League magnates at
present, and if an election were held
this week he would receive the
unanimous vote of the organization,
New York included. While Mr.
Hampstead is doing all he can to
protect McGraw in the present pro-
ceedings, it is known that Tener has
no stronger advocate than the pres
ident of the New York club.
Whatever one thinks of the man.
agerial ability of 'Muggsy' McGraw,
it cannot be denied that he is one
of the striking figures of baseball" :"
McGraw's Statement
At special meeting of the board
of directors of the National League,
held in New York a statement of
denial of having said anything dero-
gatory to the league, its president,
Jonn X. Iener, or any OF ltS cluo
members, was submitted by Man
ager McGraw, of the New York Ma
tional League club, and accepted by
the directors. After the meeting
President Tener refused to make
any comment further than to say
that the incident was closed"
Following is the statement made
by Manager McGraw:
"To the Board of Directors of the
National League:
Gentlemen: / have read this day
for the first time certain scurrilous
newspaper articles under the date of
June IA, purporting to represent in
terviews between myself and report
ers, criticising the National League,
some of it's clubs, and its president,
John X. Tener.
After having read the same care
fully ! desire to state that 1 did
not make these statements or give
out by intimation any utterance that
might be construed TO in any way
reflect upon the ability, honesty and
integrity of the president of the
league or any of its club members
or officials, nor upon the league nor
the game itself"

WELEYs sE.7sdoRNER:, :,

The decision on the part of the
Amateur Athletic Union to hold ath-
letic championships throughout the
year, is an indication that all ath-
letes will not be at the front. 1t is
question, however, whether there
will be any big stars in the events.
The general opinion prevails that
new champions will be developed.
Reading is certainly getting an
unwelcome dose from the New York
State League. With a bad schedule
to start with the Wiltse crowd is now
facing a continuance performance
with the Harrisburg Orphns. With
the exception of two days Buck Ram
sey's make-believes will play Read
ing up to and including July 4.
Dauphin is out for n series of twi-
light games The Dauphin- Perry
boys are anxious to keep in form and
will accommodate any good attrac-
ton for an evening game. DauphiA
is a good baseball town and twilight
games promise to be a popular sport.
The Dauphin team is made up of
players who are in the game with
their best efforts at all times.

Endorsement of President John
K. Tener's action on Monday and
McGraw's crawl yesterday, ended
only for a time troubles that have
been brewing in the National Lea
que. While President Tener has said
he is not a candidate for reelection
next December, those close to the
former governor are of the belief
that ne will be reelected. 1t is also
the belief here that should President
Tener remain, Manager John Nc
Graw will have to get out.
Those who recall the time when
National League officials visited
Harrisburg <and worked hard for
several hours before they pursuad-
ed John K. Tener, then governor. to
accept the league leadership, still
believe he is the only man for the
position. To-day's Philadelphia
public Ledger says:
Pittsburgh Incident
''The newspaper story emanating
from Pittsburgh at time when the
New York Giants were playing in
the Smoky City to the effect that
President Tener would not be a
candidate for reelection when the
National League meets on the sec
ond week in December of this year
should have no special significance
tentions now or at the time his term
as executive of the National League
expires. President Tener has re-
fused to discuss the interview alleg-
ed to have been given out by high
Pittsburgh city official.
What is significant about its get
ting in the public print is that 1t
should appear the last day the
Giants played in Pittsburgh and af-
ter McGraw had vented vindictive
TRADE against the league president
1t has been more than broadly hint
ed that some one connected fifth the
New York club was responsible for
the dissemination of the story. Pres
ident Tener has admitted that he
will not be a candidate for re-elec-
ton. This statement, however,
means nothing.
Not a Candidate
'He was not a candidate for the
position when first elected. This he
made clear to the delegation of Ma
tional League presidents that called
on him in executive chambers while
still governor of Pennsylvania to
press upon him that he accept the
position If elected. He impressed

.NAVY'S GTNNERS
SHOOT TRUE
Steady Improvement in the
Workmanship of U. S.
Fighting Men

Washington, D. c., June 40
manship of the navy is reported by
Admiral Henry T. Mayo, commander
in-chief of the Atlantic fleet. The
report to Secretary Daniels sum-
married. is:
Marked increase in the rapidity of
fire and a reasonably satisfactory
increase in accuracy.
Progress in the ability and con-
tidence of the personnel to prepare
for, maintain and control the fire OF
the different batteries under varying
conditions.
The following extracts from the
reports show the efforts which have
been and are being made to improve
the battle efficiency of the fleet:
More seems to have been accom-
plfshed during the last gunnery year
than ever before with less effort,
which stands to prove that present
methods, while not complete or per-
fectr are fundamentally sound.
The ship fleet during the last year
iioo pooSSu through the usual eX-
perience and conditions of a gunnery
year, although on the whole it must
be said that conditions affecting gun
merry training have materially i'm
proved.
1t is impossible to allow uninter-
rupted periods of training for target
practice at a time when vessels may
be ready for an instant's call to go
into action, and If vessel is kept
in training, with a full realization OF
such conditions, she will be ready to
go into target practice at any time
without fear of poor performances
Excellent training can be had while
en- route from port to port and pass
ing lights, buoys or vessels at sea.
The training that torpedo officers
have derived from tho work on the
Montana is being strongly felt in
the flotilla. and the time has now
arrived when destroyers have be-
come dangerous factors to the enemy
fleet in day as we'll as night engage
ments.

DRAFTED MEN TO
PASS HARD TEST
New U. S. Army to Be Made
Up of Nations Finest
Manhood

Washington, June 20.-Americas
armies will be made up of the finest
physical manhood of the nation.
Army surgeons are estimating that
nearly 40 per cent. of the men
brought to the colors by selective
draft will be rejected on the first
physical scrutiny, so severe are the
examinations. Nearly 100000
must be drawn to get the $4,000
for the first levy. At present the
reflections in the regular army ave-
rage 40 to so per cent. of the appli-
cants.
After undergoing the severe ex-
aminations imposed by the army
surgeons the chosen ones will form
world. In no other army are the
physical requirements so hard to
meet Even Germany's vaunted
armies are picked on a less stringent
scale of requirements.
The Requirements
Here are the general requirements
for the army:
Height, not less than five feet four
inches, nor more than six feet.
Weight not less than 12S pounds
or more than 100.
Lungs and heart must be we'll
nigh perfect. Any heart "murmur"
disqualifies.
Hearing and sight must be good.
Color blindness. is not necessarily
a disqualification.
Chronic disease or mental disor-
ders cause rejection. d.
Loss of fingers, toes or an ear are
disqualifications
Flat feet or deformed feet are also
causes for rejection.
The surgeons examine closely for
any affections of the kidneys or
chest. At least four molar teeth are
necessary.
The thorough examination usually
consumes more than an hour.
This war. will be won by young
men," said an official of the medical
corps. That's why we will win

It is reported that 500 people at
Middletown were disappointed on
Saturday because the Hick-A-Thrifts
did not show up to play the game
scheduled with the Middletown A. A.
Managers should at least give a "a
hour notice of a cancellation.
President John X. Tener has been
more than a life-saver for the Ma
tional League. He has brought IT
through some bad places and is put
ting baseball on a standard unequay-
ed in the history of the game. His
honest tactics are not pleasing to
those who want to win at any cost,
and for that reason is meeting with
opposition from kfew If the league
hackers want him to continue they
will not lose any time in saying so.
The election is not until December.
Up to date no buyer has been
heard from for the Harrisburg fran
chise. 1t is probable the sale has
been postponed until after July 4,
the date the future of the organiza-
tion for this season will be known.

the first inning Platt also scored on
a hit, stolen base and an error.
With two out in the ninth inning,
Captain Hawley and Lyme started a
