Company D last evening he told a
representative of the TELEGRAPH
that he will stick by the boys If the
conflict continues for ten years.
The text for his farewell remarks
was taken from Deut. 2:3, And God
said to Moses, speak to the children
of Israel, that they move forward"
Developing his theme, the Rev. Mr..
Bassler pointed out that the men are
expected to develop physically, to de-
velop strength of character, and to
develop spiritually, during the months
to come, when they are in training.
He pointed out that men are advanc-
ing or are falling. behind all the time,
for in character building no one
stands still.
Nations, like men, move forward,
said the speaker. Following the
great upheaVal of the Civil War the
country, dissatisfied with existing
conditions. moved to a higher place.
Following the Spanish American
War great advancement was made in
the Philippines and in Cuba.
Must Hurry to Enlist
In the transfers which have been
ordered no saddler had enlisted, con-
sequently the request for one could
not be met. The local supply conf
pany is also badly in need of shoe
makers
The openings caused by the trans
fers are now being filled, and when
all the needed men are secured the
last chance will be gone to enlist
with the homo companies.
Veterans Attend
In the evening several hundred
members of the various Christian
Endeavor societies of this place at
tended the services and led the sing
ing. Post 5S. G.. A. r., under COM
mand of Colonel H. C. Demming, at
tended the services and had a place
of honor in the reserved seats occu-
pied by the soldier boys.
After several selections by the
Eighth Regiment band the Rev
Harry Nelson Bassler. chaplain
opened the exercises with prayer
Two selections. HE Leadeth Me"
and What a Friend We Have in
Jesus" were then sung. After the
band played the touching selection,
"He Leadeth Me-" Miss Dorothy
had been sung by request upon sew
eral occasions, entitled Hymns My
Dear Old Mother Sang to Me"
The Harrisburg Christian En-
deavor Choral Union rendered a Sc
lection, which was followed by an
address by the Rev. Mr.. Bassler. Be-
casue of the immense crowd. the
Rev. Mr.. Bassler's address was brief
Not only was the bandstands filled
but more than a thousand persons
clustered about the speaker in an
effort to hear the remarks.
Solemnity Grips Crowd
At the close of the sermon the
audience Joined in singing America,
then the vast crowd lined the ave-
nues of tents to witness the briei
closing review of the day.
Everyone agreed that the boys OF
Company ID had never made a better
appearance. Admiring words were
heard from every side, and the pic
ture formed by the khaki-clad boys
and the background of bright eyes
and pretty faces will long be remem-
bered by those present.
The soIemnity of the occasion
gripped the great throng when the
opening strains of THE Star-Span-
gled Banner" broke the stiffness OF
the evening. Men stood with heads
uncovered and hundreds of spec
tators were unashamed of the tears
that coursed down their checks.

5000 Attend Path Valley
Picnic Near Spring Run

Chambersburg, Pa, Aug. 20.-More
than 5000 persons attended the great
annual Path Valley picnic at Ham
mond's Grove, near Spring Run, on
Saturday. People were present from
ten counties in this part of the state.
There were exhibits of machinery,
motor cars, etc, and addresses by
Congressman B. X. Focht, RE hard
Williamson, of Huntingdon, and DR..
Ezra Lehman, of the Shippensburg
Normal School. Bands made music
and a game of baseball between War
fordsburg and Path Valley mines was
won by the visiting club.
Access to the grove cannot be
made by train, no railroad runs near
and all must go by motor cars or
horse and vehicle, which makes the
attendance the more remarkable.

kAUFF PLAYS WRONG
FOR M'MULLEN'S HIT
McGraw Claims Fiery Benny Pulled
Boner in Third Inning.
BY JOHN MeGRAw.
Manager OF the Giants.

Chicago. Ill, Oct 6.-we ought TO
have won but for Kauff's failure to
play McMullen's hit in the third in
ming for a single instead of making an
impossible catch. There were only
two out at the time and the stage Of
the game made the only proper move
for Kauff to keep John Collins. who
was on second. from scoring.
II was a bad error OF judgment on
Benny's part But the energetic. fiery
little fellow in his anxiety TO win. for
got himself and his instructions.
SalIee was also far from being al
his best in the early stages Of the
game. He put over too many growers
and that. too. when the opposing bats
men were in the hole.
But SaIlee's wise old head showed
itself later on in the game. and but
for the almost constant breaks in the
Sox favor the score might have been
different.
/ have nothing but praise for. the
White Sox. Cicotte showed, himself
TO be a most artistic pitcher. He Is
a very smooth pitcher. i am more
than ever confident that the Giants
will win out in the end.

SANFORD fires BOMB
into GRID CIRCLES
No Rule Made Last March That
Will Effect Multiple Kick.

Foster Sanford certainly threw a
bombshell into the football rules in
depreciation meeting when he showed
that his multiple kick still was a
legal factor for scoring field goals.
The rules committee thought it had
barred the kick as a scorer last
March, but Sanford proved to the
satisfaction of Walter Camp and ev-
erybody else at the meeting that there
was nothing in the revised rule to
prevent using the multiple kick In
conjunction with the place kick.
Sanford showed that the definition
of place kick contained nothing
that prohibits two men from holding
the ball while it Is being kicked of
the tee. In consequence. he announc-
ed his intention of operating the null
tiple kick in the same way as 1t was
worked last season, with the excep-
tion that the ball will rest on a little
heap of earth. This will make the
multiple kick more formidable than
ever. We've got to doff our hats to
this man Sanford. He's the Edison
Of the gridlron; IL there's a way, he
will find it.
Sanford's annual plea for the aboli-
tion Of the cut down from behind is
likely to bear fruit at next winters
meeting of the rules committee. This
practice Of the hamstringing, now le-
gal, is contrary to the spirit of the
game, and must be prohibited. In
response to a request from Mr.. Camp,
Sanford defined the cut down as .'the
act Of throwing ones body across the
heels of an opponent from the rear
when neither has the BALI He de-
clared that Princeton in particular
had developed the cut-down to a
marked degree, and that when Rut-
gers played the Tigers two years ago
five Rutgers men were cut down with
In thirty yards on the opening play,
and one Of the players suffered a
fractured leg
Sanford hurled a characteristic dia-
tribe against some of the foolish ar
guments INDUCED in at the interpre-
tation sessions, and blamed It on
hare brains and halfbacks." This
was directed particularly at some of
the men who started a fatuous argu-
ment against defensive holding-the
very backbone Of football.
One of the surprises Of the meeting
was the answer given by Mr.. Camp
to a query on behalf of Fielding Yost.
the Michigan coach. Yost asked
whether 1t was good football to body
an opponent into a kicked ball while
the opponent was waiting for the ball
to stop rolling. Mr.. Camp replied that
it was perfectly proper to do SO, an
opinion with which we do not agree,
and against which We have plenty OF
company.
