Lebanon Valley Hands Out
Seasons Baseball Dates

Annville, Pa, Feb. 6. - With the
midyear examinations over, the pre-
liminary indoor work for the coming
spring baseball season has started at
Lebanon Valley. For a couple OF
weeks past some of the battery candi-
dates who were members of last years
nine have been working out in the
alumni gymnasium, but this morning
Coach Guyer issued a call for all
prospective battery candidates to re-
port in the gymnasium for some work
with the medicine ball and some light
warming up. More than a dozen men
reported, and among them were:
Pitchers. eX-Captain Gus Zeigler, Cap
tain White, Ross SwartZ. William
Swartz, Brown and Cuff, and catchers,
RED" Atticks. Peiffer and Buckwal-
ter. The battery candidates look very
promising, for most of them were
members of the squad last spring.
McNelly last years diminutive catcher,
was graduated last June, but Red"
Atticks has caught nearly half of the
varsity games for the last two seasons.
and this important department will be
well taken care of. The pitching staff
should be the best for many seasons
at Lebanon Valley, with five veteran
pitchers. but as four of them will
graduate this year, it is imperative
that Coach Guyer develop one or two.
The schedule will be announced within
a few days by Manager Long.

BASEBALL TO GO
ON AS IN PAST
War With Germany Will Not
Halt Season; President
Tener Talks

New York, Feb. G. - Major league
baseball will so on as before even If
the United States becomes involved in
a war between now and the opening
of the baseball season, according to
statements made public yesterday by
Ban Johnson and John K. Tener. re-
Spective presidents of the American
and National Leagues. They admitted
that this action would hardly result IN
financial benefit to the magnates. as
any trouble with a foreign nation
would be bound to have u most harm
full effect on the patronage at the big
league games.
However, Tener and johnson point
out that every major league club is in
excellent financial shape and that they
can afford several lean months. The
aim of the owners would be to finish
out the regular schedule as they be-
lieve a world series would pay, re-
gardless of the interest shown by tie
fans during the regular playing sea-
as if the United States would be-
come involved in the war and at that
time the two major leagues decided
that they would not open the season
if a state of war existed. At the time
the Federal League was operating and
salaries and expenses were greater
than they are to-day.
War is Not Wanted
war would have most disastrous
effect on baseball" said President
Tener, but the National League, for
one, would start tie season regard
less of how serious the situation might
be. Whether we would finish would
depend entirely upon conditions, but
as a business proposition we would be
compelled to open the season at the
scheduled time.
Il am speaking strictly for the Ma
tional League. l believe the American
League and all other organizations
also would start, though it is possible
that some of the smaller leagues
might decide to change their plans
and delay the start of their seasons
until they learned what effect the
situation had upon the larger leagues
"A state of war naturally would
cause the people to think moro of
serious things than sports and pastime
and only a small percentage of the
regular patrons of the National game
would be interested in baseball. War
would not wreck the game; but l feel
obliged to admit that it would have q
most serious effect, with the posi-
bility that complete reorganization
would be necessary after war, if it
should last very long"

COLLEGE CAN PUT
TRAINED BATTALION IN FIELD

With the possibility of war there is
increased interest everywhere in the
training of the young men of the
United States for military service.
Pennsylvania college at Gettysburg is
in fine shape to place battalion in
the field, the cadets having organized
five companies comprising 270 stud
ents and in the event of war, John r.
Dapp, of this city, a member of the
board of trustees, believes one hun
dred per cent. of the corps would re-
spond. The present student enroll
ment at Gettysburg is 430. Major
Frank Lee Graham of the United
States army, is in command of the
battalion and Sergeant Norwood AL
len, nom commissioned officer of the
regular army, has also been commits
stoned for service at the college. The
course of military science and tactics
at Gettysburg is optional, but it is
proving unusually successful and
popular.
Encourage TrainiP~
Under an act of Congress in order to
encourage students to enter the corps
liberal provision is made for furnish
ing the members free of charge all
the needed equipment in arms, tent
age, ammunition, uniform and in the

case of those taking the advance
course, additional uniforms, training
camp expenses and an allowance in
cash equal to the regular army gar
rison ration. The work includes lec--
lures and class room work as well as
military drill and target practice and
gymnastic exercise. The course of mill
tary science and tactics is divided in
to two parts each one requiring two
years of work. The uniform may be
worn at all times when college is in
session.
Upon completing the courses pre-
scribed a graduate OF Gettysburg col
lege is eligible for appointment to the
Officers Reserve corps as a tempor-
airy second lieutenant of the regular
army.
What has been successful at Gettys-
burg would probably be quite as sue
cessful IL introduced as a course in
the high schools of Harrisburg, it is
pointed out. Some months ago the
Telegraph suggested the organization
of a battalion of cadets to be compos-
ed of the students of the Central and
Technical high schools. the parochiaI
schools and the Harrisburg academy
1t is believed now that such q corps
easily could be organized.

The recently announced arrange

liking of the Maroon school.
Error In Classification
An inquiry to the Penn authorities
brought out the fact that because of
the numerous entries for this year,
there Lad been a mistake made In
the classification of the Tech runners.
Coach Orton also stated that the
Tech runners would be permitted to
enter the championship class at the
Penn carnival. A victory in this event
would give the Tech runners the
championship of the high schools
