at Big Cut in Salary

Pittsburgh, Pa, Feb. Is. - The
Players Fraternity was the recipient
of its greatest shock yesterday when
it became known that Hans Wagner,
great Pirate shortstop and reputed to
be one of the most loyal members of
the Players Fraternity, had signed his
name to contract calling for $4,000
less than he received last year.
President Barney Dreyfuss an
nounced some time ago that Wagner,
like most other players, would suffer
a cut in his stipend in accordance with
tie general retrenchment policy of the
club.
Wagner's salary last season was
$4,000. This year he will draw $S,-
600 for his services. He was given q
bonus of $500 for signing.
Wagner will go South with the team
in March and will be accompanied by
bis bride. He could not be found this
afternoon, and no reason for his de-
sertion of the fraternity can be as
signed. President Dreyfuss is in New
York, and no statements was forth
coming from Pirate headquarters.

ACADEMY MEET
PLANS COMPLETE
Big Athletic Event Takes Place
Tomorrow Afternoon at
Chestnut Street Hall

With the announcement to-day of the
officials for the Harrisburg Academy
meet, all plans are complete for the
big event tomorrow afternoon. The
annual indoor contests between the

This includes dancing. The game will
be between the Academy tossers and
the Central High five. Play starts at
s o'clock and Horace Geisel will be ref
cree.
Among the new features this year
will be the wand drill by the men,
bers of the two lowest forms. IT is a
military drill but instead of guns wands
are used.
This promises new treat to pa
irons. The drill was taught the boys
by Athletic Director Schlichter, who had
a military training course at Cornell.
Another interesting event will be the
driving contest. This is also an inno-
walton to local enthusiasts and is sure
to cause lot of excitement. Tumbline
and work on the parallel bars are two
other new events.
An exhibition of gymnastic work by
Prof. Gordon c.. Platt of the faculty
who was an adept tumbler at Dart
mouth, his alma mater, is an added fea-
ture.
The ushers and program sellers were
selected Yesterday by the faculty and
will be dressed in special uniforms.
The contest this year is expected to
be very close and hotly contested and
each club is predicting a victory. The
winner will add six points towards the
cup. The Greeks will have odd num-
bers and their color will be blue. The
Romans will have the even numbers
and their color will he red. The events
and their time are as follows

MUST RAISE
S443,256,OOO
Revenue Bill TO Raise This
Amount Is ForecaSted in
Senate

Washington, d. c., Feb. 10. - A
Treasury deficit of $3.50, 100000 at the
end of the next fiscal year is forecast
in q report submitted by the Senate
Finance Committee, recommending
that the Administration Revenue bill
be amended to authorize q bond issue
of S195,256,000 instead of 500, 900
600, and that authorization for certi-
ficates of Indebtedness be made $780,
900, 600 instead of 100000, 900.
The recommendation for increases
is based on revised Treasury Depart
ment estimates submitted to Congress
since the bill passed the House, plac-
ing the Federal Governments eXpen-
ditures for the fiscal year 1918 at ST.
400, 100000. The committee estimates
that to meet the total and provide q
working balance the amount which
will be raised by bonds and new reve-
nue. legislation is $433,400, 900. This
the committee proposes to raise as fol-
lows:
BY bond issues: For expenditures
on account of Mexican situation to
June 80, 1917, $162, ,41S,000; for con-
struction of Alaskan railway to June
80, 1918, $21,S3S,000; for construc-
ton of armor plate plant, $11.000,000
making a total bond issue of $685.
256,000.
BY new taxation: An excess profits
SESO,UUUyUuOf lSlA III
creases, $22, 900, 900, making a total OF
S24S,000, 900 and n grand total from
new taxes and bonds of $443,256, 900,
or S9,856,000 in excess of absolute
needs.
In it's report the committee explain
ed that the proposed authorization to
issue short-term certificates of indebt-
edness up to $500, 100000 is for the
purpose of tiding the Treasury over
until the new taxes come in. A large
portion of the total revenues of the
Government now is payable during
the last month of the fiscal year, and
probably more than s500,000,000 OF
revenue would, in the opinion of the
committee, be collected during June
1918.
THE income tax, the munition:
manufacturers tax and the excess
profits tax are all due and payable il
June of each year." the report says
This is practically as much as will
be collected during the entire preced.
ing eleven months. That is, while the
disbursements for 1918 may be less
than the receipts for that year, still
at certain periods prior to June the
Treasury may need these certificates
of Indebtedness to tide it over"
The bill probably will be brought
up in the Senate Friday.

BASEBALL STRIKE
\ OFF FOR SEASON
Fraternity Leader Asks For
Mercy; Magnates Agree to
Let Players Alone

New York, Feb. 15. - No baseball
strike this year. Dave Fultz, head of
the Players Fraternity. admitted yes
terday he was whipped. He issued
u the following statement:
owing to the unfair position in
which the major league owners have
been placed in the present baseball
controversy between owners and play
ers, the fraternity has submitted to
the owners the following proposal:
ITO release all players from their
pledges not to sign contracts under
the understanding that the owners
will not discriminate against fraternity
players nor discipline them for their
loyalty to the fraternity in observing
their pledges"
Early in the day Manager McGraw,
of the New York Nationals, and Presi-
dent Fultz held conference, at which
the fraternity executive said that il
he was assured that the members of
the Players Fraternity would not be
Disseminated against financially or
otherwise by major league club own
ers, he would release the men from
their pledges.
McGraw Immediately went to see
President Tener, of the National
League, and after the situation had
been explained to him Mr.. Tener said:
Tener Lends A Hand
You can assure Mr.. Fultz that I
give my word of honor, as the Presi-
dent of the National League, that the
National League will not discriminate
in any way, shape or manner, against
any ball player because of his con-
nection with the fraternity"
Upon receiving this statement from
President Tener, McGraw declared:
Il feel perfectly justified in announc-
ing that to all intents and purposes
the strike is off in so far as it affects
the National League"
When President Johnson, of the
American League, arrived here later
in the day to attend the annual Sche-
dule meeting of his league tomorrow,
he was informed of the action taken
by President Tener, and in reply TO a
query as to whether he would give
similar assurance, he said:
$50 far as the fraternity is con-
cerned we give no assurance. All our
players look alike to us. About So
per cent. of them have signed 1917
to their training quarters, well and
good. That is all the assurance that
the American League will give"
Chairman Herman. of the National
Commission. stated that there was a
clause i'm all the major league con-
tracts for 1917, which protected the
players from discrimination on ac-
count of membership in the frater-
nifty, and both of the major league
presidents also called attention TO this
fact.

TRIPLE DROWNING NEAR
 THOMPSONVILL CONN.
Members of Party of Twelve in
 Moonlight Bathing Party.

ThompsonviIle, Conn, July 1-Sha- ker Pond, four miles from this place, was the scene of a triple drowning early this evening" The drowned were members of a party of twelve which left here in automobiles for a small grove on the edge of the pond where arrangements had been made for a moonlight bathing party. They are: Catherine Twarog, p; Martin Gwoziz, 28, of ThompsonEille, and Stanislau Szubinsl1i, about 25, of Springfield.
 Szubinski lost his life in an attempt to save Miss Twarog, who with Gwo- zdz had waded beyond her depth. Ap- parently unaware that the bed of the pond drops abruptly about 25 feet from shore, the two latter waded out with out hesitation. Szubinski, a novice swimmer, answered their cries for help, became exhausted in the attempt to save the young woman and sank with her. The bodies were recovered shortly afterward.
 Efforts were made to resuscitate the victims by use of pulmotors which were rushed to the scene from Spring field Ail three were beyond aid, how ever, when they were brought from the water. ,r
