ond Unit of High

in charge of the recruiting of the
second motor truck company to be

less called into service in the very
near future. Only the very best men
were taken in the first company and

company on war footing in at least
a week. The same positions and
regulations will apply to the new
company as in the former. The men
will be enlisted as private and ranked
according to their ability.
1t is believed both companies will
be commanded by Harrisburg men,
who will be given the rank of lieu
tenant. The companies will doubt
less be called into service prior to
the calling of the remainder of the
National Guard, as they will be
needed for the hauling to be done
before the encampment of the main
regiments.
The company will consist of one
truck master, sergeant of the quar-
termaster's corps; one clerk; three
assistant truck masters; one mess
sergeant; one mechanic, all with the
rank of a sergeant, first class; two
cooks, thirty-three chauffeurs, two
as assistant mechanics, privates, first
class. and nine assistant chauffeurs,
privates.
Part of the new company will be
recruited at Lancaster. Lieutenant
Wheeler will go to Lancaster on
Wednesday morning to accept any
eligible recruits.
Yesterdays enlistments continued
light in this district. Following is
the honor roll for the district:
Charles L. Wolf, Mechanicsburg,

War Necessitates Changes
While June Is was the last day on
which players might be signed, the
enlistment of players may make a
change necessary in the rules of the
association. At first it was intended
to have no players signed after that
date, but war measures may make a
difference.
The president of the league has sus-
pended Reading player for alleged
unfair playing. The player in ques-
tion is out of the game for five days.
The officers of the league will at
tempt 10 keep the game clean.
The contest scheduled to be played
last Friday night will be played
July 80. Although the close of the
schedule falls on July 26, on account
of the wet weather the postponed
contests have taken up more than
all the Fridays during the playing
schedule and the remaining postponed
games will be played after the close
of the schedule.

JOHN X. TENER
MAY QUIT GAME
His Retirement Depends on
Action of National League
Today in McGraw Case

Philadelphia, June 1S.-John *.
League, is not a candidate in any
way for reelection to Office. His
term expires this year and the direc-
tors of the league will be called upon
to elect "a president at the annual
meeting of the league in December.
Mr.. Tener made that announce
ment when informed that dispatches
from Pittsburgh were to the erect
that he would not be reelected to
the presidency of the league.
Further than to say that he was
not a candidate for the office, Mr..
Tener refused to discuss the matter.
He said: That is all 1 have to say
at this time"
A special meeting of the league
has been called for to-day at New
York for the purpose of taking ac-
ton upon the New York Clubs pro-
test of President Tener's suspension
and fine of Manager McGraw, of the
Giants, and to consider the insult
ing remarks McGraw has been quot
ed as making about Mr.. Tener, in
connection with his suspension.
Depends on Action To-day
Although Mr.. Tener refused to
make any comment or prediction 1T
is evident that the attitude taken
by the directors at the special meet
ing will determine Mr.. Tener in the
course he will take regarding re-
election as president of the league.
The New York Club and Mana
ger McGraw have much influence in
league affairs. If the league refuses
to sustain Mr.. Tener's punishment
of McGray for his attack upon Um-
pire Byron, at Cincinnati, and sup
ports the New York Clubs protest,
Mr.. Tener will likely announce his
retirement from baseball. He has
said that his rulings as president of
the league must be respected. 1t is
known that Mr.. Tener is very, angry
over the McGraw matter and 1T is
likely that he will make it n deciding
factor in league affairs.
McGraw Is in Bad
According to well-versed baseball
men McGFaw is liable to suspension
for the balance of the season for his
alleged verbal attack upon the pres
ident of his league.
Mr.. Tener is very happy over the
sudden, but satisfactory ending OF
the suit for damages brought by the
Baltimore Club of the defunct Fed
eral League. When asked what dis
position would now be made of the
money that is to be paid the Brook
lyn Club under the peace agreement
with the Federal League, Mr. Tener
said:
That matter is in the hands of
our attorneys. They will take 1t up
promptly and make satisfactory dis
position of the payments now due
on the 100000 that was to be paid
the Brooklyn Club"

The story of one of the autoists
is as follows: 'Willoughby was first
on the road and was going about
twenty-five miles an hour. Elscheid
blew his horn and speeded up to
pass him. Elscheid was on the left
side of the road, between the high
way and the trolley tracks. He
swung into ditch along the road
and in trying to regain the road
crashed into the other car"
Car Turns Turtle
According to a railroader who was
close at hand, the Willoughby ma
chine was sent to the side of the road
and after tearing down seven panels
of fence, turned turtle IN field, pin
ming Mrs Willoughby underneath.
The Elscheid machine swung
completely around in the road and
turned turtle on lle SITeeI car track.
None of the occupants was pinned
underneath.
About fifteen automobiles which
were following on the way to Har-
risburg, from Summerdale, were
stopped and a squad of men lifted
the Willoughby machine and rescued
Mrs. Willoughby.
The injured were placed in auto
mobiles and rushed to the hospital.
Ford is a well-known athlete in
this city. He is star guard on the
Harrisburg Independent basketball
team. John Elscheid is well-known
athlete, having played football with
Tech High several seasons.
The Willoughby machine was talk
en- away from the scene of the acct
dent Saturday night while the El-
cheid car was reduced to scrap.

A. J. Moore, Former
Lakeland Citizen.
Making Great
Success At
Clearwater

The many Lakeland friends of Mr.
A. J. Moore, former owner of the
Cut Price store, will rejoice in his
prosperity as told in the following ar
ticle taken from last nights Tampa
Times:
The career of a successful business
man is of more or less interest to
everyone and especially to those who
live in the community in which such
man has made his success. Prob
ably no man in South Florida has
had the phenomenal success attribu
ted to A. J. Moore, proprietor of the
| Cut Price store. at Clearwater In
less time than year, Mr.. Moore has
built up possibly the largest busi
ness in Clearwater and enjoys the es
TEEN and good favor of the entire
populace of Clearwater and the sur
rounding country.
For long time Mr.. Moore ran as
Pullman conductor. Perhaps it was
in that line that he learned how to
please folks. June Is, 1913, he
opened a store in Lakeland. Later
he entered into partnership with Nc
Guire, of Plant city. Their business
was a success from the start and
later Mr.. Moore sold out to Mr.. Nc
Cuiro November 30 1916, he moved
to Clearwater and opened a store
with $4,000 worth of stock in it.
Shortly a fire destroyed his place of
business and his stock and he collect
ed only $4,000 worth of insurance.
Undaunted by his misfortune. Mr.
Moore began all over again, having
in the mean time gained the conf
dence of all of the bankers and bus
mess men of Clearwater Their con-
fidence was expressed to the extent
| that Mr.. Moore received all of the
backing he wanted in opening his
new place. Today he has three
times the amount of stock he had
when his first store burned and is
doing three times the business he did
prior to that time.
Mr.. Moore attributes his success to
consistent advertising. Advertising
that lets the people know what he

believe that Mr.. and Mrs. Odom are
doing a great and coed work in car
