Thousands For Stars
Is Chicago Club Plan

Chicago. Sept. 13.-It was recently
announced that the board of directors
of the Chicago Cub team met at the
Chicago Athletic Association and de-
cided, to give President Weeghman
permission to spend 100000 for the
best ball players II is possible to get
for the club. This was verified by
President Weeghman, who declared
that the figures mentioned were
wrong. and should have been $25O,000
Il did not want this story to get
out at this time" said President
Weeghman, but as it has I will say
that s25O,000 has been given me to
spend for players. l expected to an

but money could not land them. He
offered IS much as $4,000 for Roger
Hornsby, of the st. Louis Club, but
even that sum could not induce
Branch Hickey or Miller Huggins TO
part with the star infielder. More
that $4,000 was offered for Max
Carey, of the Pirates. but that also
was refused by Barney Dreyfuss.

Philadelphia, Sept. 13.-Frank S.
Wright, of Buffalo, n. V, has chal-
lenged George n. Fish, holder. of
Lyndonville, y. Y, to shoot for the
is yards championship challenge
trophy, and subject to the terms
under which the trophy is given 1t
will be placed in open competition
at the shoot of the Westy Hogans at
Atlantic City, n. j., tomorrow.
Mr.. Fish won the championship
trophy last fall at the Westy Hogans
shoot by breaking sc targets out of
100. The targets are thrown 60 yards
in this competition. Seventy shooters
in the last event. When
a contest for this trophy is arranged
by reason of challenge or otherwise
the event becomes an open compe-
tition and all amateurs are eligible
to compete for the trophy and purse.
The entrance zee is $40; IS of this
goes to the purse to be distributed
among the high guns, 81 to the club
holding the shoot, to pay for the tar
gets, and 81 to the accumulation
purse.
Those Who Shoot
When the accumulation purse
reaches 5000 the cup is placed in
competition and those who have won
the trophy since the previous shoot
off for the accumulation purse
which was in 1913-can enter the
competition for the 5000 and the
trophy. At the present time the
accumulation purse amounts to
$174.65 and the shoot next Friday
will bring it up to the 5000 mark.
1t isn't likely that the additional
event for the purse and the trophy
will be held this week. as the Hogans
program can hardly stand the crowd
ing in of another event.

WRIGHT CHALLENGES FISH
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY
SPECIAL FEATURE TOMORROW

The record for this event is 81
out of 100 and was made three times
in succession. Billy Foord. of Will
mington, did the trick first in 1914
at Atlantic City in the Hogans shoot
and Allan He'll. of Allentown, Pa,
repeated one year later in the same
place. The late A. B. Richardson, of
Dover, Del. equaled the mark in the
shoot for the trophy at the eastern
handicap in July, 1916.
History of the Trophy
The history of this trophy is in
teresting. In 1895 it was first placed
in competition in Baltimore, Md.
Live bird shooting was then in it's
zenith. Smokeless powder made in
America was just becoming a reality,
as up to that time American sports
men had had to depend on the max
ers abroad for their smokeless pow
der. And last, but not least, Fred
Gilbert, most expert of all clay target
breakers of all time. was ushered
into the limelight by winning the
famous live bird trophy at Baltimore
the first time it was placed in compe-
tition. Gilbert was young and up-
known, and what he did that day In
October twenty-five years ago is still
the talk of trapshooters. old and
young.
In succeeding years the trophy
changed hands many times and Gill
bert. Crosby, Heikes, the Elliotts,
Marshall and others claimed it for a
time. When live bird shooting passed
on the trophy was removed from
competition and later on put up as a
clay target trophy. The conditions
being that it be shot for whenever
there is a challenge. Whenever a
challenge match is shot everyone
desiring to do so may enter and
have equal rights in the competition
with the challenger and challenge.

Shorty Miller had some baseball
team this season at Steelton. He
brought about good results by dofnE
things himself. He hit the ball and
stole bases, setting pace for the
other fellows. That he is a real
leader in all sports cannot be de-
MED.
Harrisburg shooters were in evil
dence yesterday at the Westy Hogan
shoot. While they did not pull down
any big honors their scores showed
them to be in the running for cash
divisions. Long runs made by the
Harrisburg and West Fairview repre-
sentatives attracted much attention.
1t is now said that there will be
day given to the teams playing in
the worlds series to make the nee
essary jumps from West to East. 1t
is also said that Sunday games will
be in order. Why not cut out those
Sunday games and do the travelling
on the Seventh. There is likely to be
but one jump IL two games are play
ed in each home series. New York
will win at home and abroad.

CAN THE BABY WHEN
YOU TAKE A JOURNEY

The good news is true. We have
been hoping for years, says Popular
Science Monthly, that some intelli-
gent inventor would come along with
a devise to can obstreperous infants
during the late hours of the night.
We suggested a hermetically-seal
can wrapped in soundproof material,
but Caleb NJ. Prather, of Evanston,
Illinois, sidestepped our instruments
at several important points.
He intends to use the can to rock
babies to sleep. 1t is, in fact, baby
holder. Mr.. Prather has provided
several holes in his can through
which air can reach the baby. We
don't object to the baby getting air
but as long as there are holes in the
can the baby's yells will be as nerve
racking as ever.

No Story Writing

Players in the American League
will be prohibited from writing so
called expert" newspaper stories on
the series, Johnson said. This rul-
ing not only applies to members of
the club participating in the games,
but to players on others teams in
the league whose services as,writers
have been sought.
The American League executive
termed the offer of III. II. Frazee,
president of the Boston club, who
said he would give each member of
the team a $1,000 bonus, if it won
the American League pennant, a
cheap piece of theatrical play"
The offer, President Johnson said,
was after Boston apparently had no
chance of overcoming Chicago's lead.
"Frazee would drop dead is he had
to pay it," Johnson said.

Reading scored two runs in the Sec

another run, two singles and two

again in the ninth on a double, a
stolen base and a single. Then came
the trouble. The score up to the
finish follows:

WELLYS = CORNER

When Manager Laigcra of the
Harrisburg Division team of the
Philadelphia and Reading League
withdrew his team from the field
yesterday he acted wisely, according
to the general belief. There has been
no baseball team in this city or vi
cinity that played a cleaner game
than the Rutherford contingent.
They took raw treatment in a num-
ber of towns and lost games because
they acted like real sportsmen, but
when an umpire is so deliberate in
his untairness, as was reported yes
terday, the only thing to do was to
quit.
In both the Reading and Penn
sylvania Railroad Leagues there has
been trouble with the umpires oil
season. In planning for next sea-
son every effort possible should be
made to secure competent neutral
men, An umpire who does not know
any better may be excused some
times, but deliberate attempts to take
n game from another team by play
ing favoritism hurts baseball.

PENNSYLVANIA recaptured the state
team championship after a lapse of
two years. The keystone quintet
topped the teams from the various
sections of the country with a total
of 4SS breaks in 500 targets. New
York and Ohio are nip and tuck for
second place in the unfinished race.

phia; Allen He'll, of Allentown; Neal
Gillespie, of Pittsburgh, and H. p.
Herman, of Lock Haven, each smash
ed 9S in their century blue rocks, and
Paul r. Burger, Catawissa, dropped
96. The grand total will probably
be four or five targets higher than
the second team, and cannot possibly
he beaten no matter what the per-
formances are to-day. New Jersey,
which won the championship last
season, will likely be fourth. New
York won the title in 1915 and
Pennsylvania annexed in the three
previous tournaments.

boy IS SERIOUSLY
INJURED WHEN AN
AUTO STRUCK HIM

frankie Pericola, Ia years Of age,
residing at 5o4 East Moreno street,
was struck and seriously hurt yester-
day at b:25 p. III. by an auto truck,
said to have been driven by young
white man. The little Aufferer was
hurt while crossing Gadsden street,
and the accident was reported at once
to the police station. The emergency
wagon was at once dispatched to the
scene, and the child was hurried to
the station, where the city physician.
Or. Mobiles, was called to attend him.
He was found to have been suffering
from a number of bruises, a severe
blow on the head being shown, which
at first thought to have been frac-
ture Of the skull. To make better
and more thorough examination and
to treat the boy, he was ordered re-
moved to the Pensacola hospital. His
mother, Mrs. Minnie Pericola, and
brother, Robert A. Pericola, hurried
to the station upon being informed
Of the child's condition, and accom-
panied the little sufferer to the hos
pital.
According to statements made to
the police, Frankie Pericola, accom-
panying his grandfather, Mr.. Jerni-
gan, q dairyman, on the latter's
rounds last evening, started from
the milk wagon to deliver. bottle of
milk to a customers home. The truck,
according to information secured, was
going at a low speed, and the child,
without seeing it, stepped directly
in front of the auto, and was struck
down. According to all lines of in
vestigating, the officers last night
concluded that the accident was In
the unavoidable class, although they
believed it best to take the auto driver
in custody as soon as he could be
identified, to await developments.

"Of course you're going! Now don't
be q little FOOL And Warren strug-
gled into his overcoat he had been
vigorously brushing.
II was Tuesday morning and this
was the first reference that had been
made to the Tuesday night dinner
since Helen had declared last week
she would not go.
"But I thought you said Mrs. Dali
toms cousin-'that good-looking girl
would take my place"
He laughed carelessly. GAS though
anyone could do that!"
It was not so often now that War
rem made so gallant remark.
But don't like those Bohemian
she protested, though plainly weak
ening.
We'll go to many places and with
many people l don't like, when it's q
matter of policy-as it is now. Dalton
is keen on our going. They're COM
ing by for US in their car about $50.
So be all ready. I'll be home at g."
She Eisappr0ves of Dalton.
And without waiting for further
protests he hurried off.
OF course, she reasoned, as she
bathed and dressed the baby. If
Warren really insisted on going with
the Daltons, it was better for her to
go with him. But more and more
she felt that Will Dalton was bad for
Warren. And the thought that War
rem should feel under obligations to
him for tips on the stock market
rankled within her constantly.
But when, at 6:3O, the Daltons
dashed up for him with their big tour
ing car, and they were whirled down
the cleaning avenue, Helen nestled
back among the fur rugs with q sense
Of pleasure In the swift motion and
the luxurious ease Of the car.
Their destination was an italian
liable d'hote'' just off Sixth Avenue.
The place was crowded. The afr
was close and heavy with cigarette
smoke. And above the clatter of
dishes and noise of the diners came
the sound Of tortured piano and
astrident violin.
A perspiring waiter led them to q
table that Mr.. Dalton had tele-
phoned to have reserved. It was the
