LEAGUE MEETS
AT WHKES-BARRE
Will Consider Plans to Take
Care of Harrisburg Club;
Lose Close Game

With the departure of President ].
II. Farrell from the city yesterday
afternoon efforts to secure $1,000 to
tide the team over ceased. Manager
George Cockill failed in his efforts
at Williamsport. 1t is said there
will be bidders for the franchise from
Poughkeepsie, South Bethlehem and
other cities tonight. The meeting
will be held in Wilkes Barre.
Indications are not favorable to
Harrisburg. There are several rep
resentatives who will be at the meet
ing tonight who have been sore
ever since this city was represented.
They have knocked this city without
cause. Manager George Cockill is
coming in for some severe criticism
because he waited too long to let real
conditions known.
Lose Another Close Game
There are a number of business
men in this city who have never
been approached on tho question of
aiding in the organization of a base
ball organization. There was an i'm
preston in baseball circles that the
club had been financed for the sea-
son.
In the game with Wilkes-Barre
yesterday Harrisburg lost out, score
to o. Barnes pitched a good game
The Barons got to his curves in n
bunch in two innings. Harrisburg
could do little with Beretski except
in one inning. The score:

Petrograd, Sept. 2S.-The military
section of the Soldiers and Work

should be in the army groups Of priv
iIeged soldiers who arrogate to them
selves the right to die for the liberty Of
the country when this right belongs
to all soldiers: second. that SHOCK
