----IMPORTANT GAMES in THE CITY
.WELEYs 7GoRNER

The American Association has
added forty-two more games to its
schedule to make up for the losses of
the post-season series with Inter-
national League teams called off
when war was declared. This is one
announcement. Another is that the
players will quit soon because of cut
in salaries.
Tom Downey, writing from his
home in Bridgeport, Conn, denies
that he was paid his salary in full.
He refers his case to Manager George
Cockill. Both Downey and Cook did
get some money, as we'll as Manager
George Cockill. Death made it nee
essary for Cook and Downey to re-
turn home. What money was adj
vanced was enough to pay their ex-
penses.
Penn's last baseball game will he
with Lafayette tomorrow. Captain
Berry has been ordered to report for
duty in France within twenty-four
hours. College baseball in many
parts of the country will also end
tomorrow.

GOOD GAMES ON
SATURDAY BILL.
Railroad Contest at Island
Park; Big Battles For West
End and Steelton

Fans need not beg for baseball
tomorrow. Every game scheduled
promises to furnish all the thrills
necessary to prove that the national
sport is still popular. AT Island
Park Red" Owens aid his Motive
Power aggregation will meet Tren-
ton. The West End A. c. is sched-
uled for battle with Baker A. A, at
Fourth and Seneca streets, and
Shorty" Miller's team at Steelton
will meet the crack aggregation from
Sparrows Point, Md.
The railroad game will bring to
Harrisburg a large aggregation of
rooters. Trenton has twice won the
championship, and this season as in
the past recognize the Harrisburg
contingent as their strongest oppon-
ents. Manager Owens will give Els
enberger chance to show his abil-
lty on the mound. The game starts
at 3 o'clock.
At Fourth and Seneca streets the
| West End A. c. will meet Baker A.
A., of Steelton. This game is one of
the, most important in the local Sc
rles. West End is hoping for in
| creased crowds. While no regular
| admission fee is charged games play
ed by the West End aggregation have
Deen strong attractions and worthy
OF more liberal patronage. The bat
tie tomorrow starts at o'clock.
Second Game at Steelton
The second game of the Bethle-
hem Steel Corporation League will
be played at Steelton tomorrow,
with Sparrows Point plant team as
|, the attraction. The game last week
was closely contested and it took
ten, innings for Bethlehem to come
through on top.
Manager Shorty" Miller has put
the team through several hard prac-
tices this week in preparation for
! this weeks contest, as he wants the
team to even matters in it's league
standing. The lineup this week will
be the same as last, with probably
| Odgen, the young twirler, occupying
the mound for Steelton.
The team in every department,
Manager Miller believes, is in good
| condition, and with a little practice
! they should carry off honors in the
league during the remainder of the
season. Many Harrisburgers last
week attended the game and the
! crowd this week is expected to sur
pass that of last week, when at least
! l,2OO witnessed the contest.
The Hick-A-Thrifts will go to Mid
dletown for a game with the Middle-
| town A. A. Cancellations have been
crimping the schedule of the Hick-
A -Thrifts, but now they hope to keep
going. An interesting game is look
ed for. On June 80 the local nine
will play West End A. C. Games
are wanted by the Hick-A-Thrifts
for July 4.

WILLARD QUITS
HIS CIRCUS JOB:
MORRIS is STAR

New York, June 15.-Jess Will
lard, worlds heavyweight champion,
sewers his connection with the circus
tomorrow and Carl Morris, his fore
most rival for the title, will replace
him. 1t is reported that Willard is
being "let out" his drawing power
as a box office attraction having
waned because of his evident un-
willingness to defend his champion
ship. Since he won the title from
Jack Johnson in Havana on April 5,
1915, he has engaged in but one bat
tie, the ten-round no-decision affair
with Frank Moran in Madison Square
Garden more than a year ago, and
almost a year after mis- cuban con-
quest.
Morris is not only supplanting Will
lard with the bill Show" but he is
determined to oust him from his
championship throne also. Said
Morris, discussing his plans:
Although l am going to accept
the offer of a twenty-four weeks
engagement with the circus. don't
think that I plan to retire from the
ring as Willard virtually di6. in

II cannot figure how Willard can

tanly he can't say that 1 haven't
qualified myself for it, or that his

"COmebacks" This Season
So Many They Become Bores

No one has been able to explain
1t thus far, but it seems that a
great season for comebacks is being
had. Sport fans have reached the
point where they only yawn TO see
in the paper that the great comeback
OF this veteran or that has been the
feature of the season.
Just a few of those who have been
celebrated as the comeback wonders
of the day are Larry Doyle, Fred
Berkle, Ivan Olson, Rollie Zeider
Guy Morton, Eddie Cicotte, not to
mention Tub Spencer, Harry WolteT
and quite few others.
Some of these have only gone in
for the comeback thing this season,
while others have been coming back
more than anything else for some
while. Ballplayers themselves begin
to realize that "comebacks" are be-
ing a bit overdone, but it's usually
that way and there are always some
to spoil a good thing. Whoever first
thought up the comeback idea got Il
big hand and now any number of
players are trying to cop his stuff.
A big league veteran can be sure
of getting the comeback cheers If
he Will manage to stage a squirt and
play first rate ball for a while. Then
some sport writer's will dash off lots
of new stuff about how he is playing
the game that made him a star when
he first came up from the brush. If
he slumps again no one will notice
it. Every one will be reading about
some other old bird who is skipping
about as in his youth.
AT the same time there have been
an unusual number of fast showings
made by the games older players
this season and if lots of the younger
ones are taken away to the wars the
old stars will have to do their best
to keep the game going.

from fighting. He hasn't an excuse
left now. He will either have to
fight me or permanently retire from
the ring. If he does the latter I will
claim his title and defend it against
all corners. If he agrees to a match
with me 1 will succeed to the cham
pionship anyway. 1 would rather
take it from him.
Has Confidence
"I can beat Willard sure as little
apples are red if they leave me in
there alone and long enough with
him. In ten rounds L believe L could
lick him; in twenty rounds there
wouldn't be any doubt about the re-
suit. Willard is an exceptionally
fast boxer for man of his weight.
but he is just the kind of an oppo-
nent find easiest to take You saw
what l did to Fred Fulton, and
think Fulton is every bit as good a
boxer as Willard. That's how 1 get
a line on my chances with Willard.
1t would be a nip-and-tuck fight be-
tween Fulton and the champion. Not
a few experts declared before l
fought Fulton that Fred had better
than an even chance against Jess.
Well, If I could so esaily defeat a
man rated on a par with Willard, l
should surely defeat Willard.
II see that a lot of writer's have
been criticising my ability as a
boxer. They say am just a gutter
fighter a rough, mauling son of a
gun. entirely lacking in cleverness
and science, and who wins by sheer
strength. Well, I win, and that's
good enough. isn't it? I realize that
l am not a master boxer or any
thing like that, but 1 am not en-
tirely lacking in skill"

Former Benchwarmer Now
Star in National League

A benchwarmer is the star of the
National League.
After wearing out more trousers
than shoes for three years on the
bench in the Giants dugout, Freddie
Schupp has come into his own and
promises a career that no southpaW
of to-day, with the possible eXcep-
ton of Babe" Ruth, can expect to
duplicate.
McGraw was not departing from
any precedents when he refused to
permit Schupp to start game. Rube
Marquard, purchased from Indianap-
oils at then fabulous price. was per-
mitted to grace the bench for two
seasons after his first disastrous start
before he was allowed to go out and
"do his bit"
Prior to last summer Schupp had
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-06-15

been seen occasionally, pitching
when a game was hopelessly lost or
certainly won.
Last summer, however, Schupp
showed a reversal of form. He de-
Veloped control. He had found his
fast-breaking curves. Then McGraw
sent him to the mound.
In the drive for twenty-siX consec-
utive victories he won six games.
His 1916 record showedshim win
ming nine and losing six games with
a record-breaking earned run aver
age of 80 per game.
"He will not last" many critics de-
clared, when the Giants went to Mar
lin this spring.
But Shupp did last, lasted far bet
ter than even his teammates ex-
pected.
This year he has won six straight
games and lost one, and has allowed
.92 earned runs to each game.

promises to be interesting games.
Players on the various teams on the
