Rain Halts Big Races;
Snow Is Winner

Syracuse, n. y, Sept. 11.-Unfavora-
bic weather conditions marred the
opening of the Grand Circuit meeting

Snow, captured the 2.20 trot in three
straight heats, while Bertha Mcclure
had an equally easy time In the Ka
Moo No $4,000 purse for three-year-
olds.

for the start of the third heat of
the 2.20 trot. He made the round of
the track, but was stopped in an ex-
citing chase. which ended in front of
the grandstand. Tallman was not in
jured.
The battle-royal 2.04 trot, hcheduled
t. open the card to-day, was post
pcned until tomorrow on account of
the heavy track. Mabel Trask' Wal

Reading High School
to Have Strong Team;
Many Veterans Out

Reading, Pa, Sept. 11.-Prospects
for fast football eleven to repre-
sent Reading High this season are
far from encouraging. But three of
last years team-Nuebling, Nelson
and Abrams-reported to Coach
Brenner, the new athletic director,
in response to the first call for can
didates. There is an abundance of
new material, but it's quality is un-
known, and an entire new team will
have to be constructed for the open
ing game here on Saturday, Septem-
Der 20.
The revised schedule follows: Sep
tember 20, open, here; October 6,
Pottsville High, here; October IS,
Stevens Trade school, of Lancaster,
here: October 20, Lebanon High, at
Lebanon; October 81, Easton High,

vember 10, Harrisburg Central High,
at Harrisburg; November II, Steel
ton High, here; November "a, Nor
ristown High, at Norristown; No
vember 90 Thanksgiving Day., Lam
caster High, here.
Several former Red and Black
football warriors have rendered their
services to Athletic Director Bren-
ner to assist in coaching the squad,
and have been accepted. Assistant
Coach Eisenbrown, ~, of last years
squad, is in the Army, as are
Schweimler, Miller, Potts, Mauger,

Prices For Big Games
to Be Double Old Rates

st. Louis, Sept. 11.-President john
son, of the american League. said
yesterday that If Chicago wins the
American League pennant the plans
for the reduction in seat prices for the
worlds series will be carried out as
far as the gam%i prayed in the Amer
lean League ILrk are concerned.
THE new scale will be simply this"
said Mr.. Johnson. Seats will be Just
double in price those prevailing dur
ing the playing season. If Chicago
wins the American League pennant,
Ccmiskey will have 1000 bleacher
seats at so cents, 5000 pavilion seats
at 81, and the entire grandstand, re-
served, for $3.50. Box seats will cost
$500.
This, 1 think. places the worlds
series games within the reach of all.
"Of course. / have nothing to say
concerning prices at the National
League park. but when the commits
sion arranges details, / hope the other
league will accept these prices.
"If Chicago wins, L think there is
little doubt that the series will begin
Saturday, October 6, as that will en-
able us to get in a Sunday game in
Chicago"

EFFECTS OF WAR
ON BASEBALL
Nine Leagues Quit Because
of Poor Patronage; Minors
Are Big Losers

New York, Sept. 11.-Further eff
fects of the war upon baseball, parti-
cularly the minor league circuits, is
shown in, the latest issue of a semi
official organ of the professional
game. The records indicate that
nine leagues, consisting of more than
fifty clubs, have disbanded since the
opening of the present season; that
eight others have been forced to re-
wise their playing schedules while
several more have either dropped
clubs or shifted them to cities or
towns which promised better sup
port.
All these changes occurred during
the first half of the season, however,
and it appears that those organiza-
tions which have readjusted to meet
or passed the crisis will continue un-
til the close of their regular playing
schedule.
Leagues That Quit
Further analysed, the reports show
that Three l Ullinois-Iowa-Ind f.,
Northwestern, South Atlantic, Vir-
ginia, Central Texas, Dixie, Georgia
Alabama, North Carolina and North
ern leagues all abandoned the idea of
playing out Ithe schedule season.
Among those circuits which revised
their schedules were the American
and International leagues, due to the
cancellation of the proposed inter
league series; Western, Eastern.
New York State, Texas, Central and
Blue Ridge leagues. In several cases
the revision of schedules was made
necessary through the dropping of
more or two clubs.

Seventy-five candidates responded
to the first call for the football team
at the Technical High school. Fol
lowing the giving out of equipment
to the squad a preliminary practice
was held on the Fairgrounds last

Miss Bjurstedt Stops
Miss Browns Victories;
Wins Feature Match

Philadelphia, Sept. 11-Three Very
Interesting matches at the German
town Cricket Club, Mannheim, yes
terday, closed the 100000 campaign
of the United States National Lawn
Tennis Association on behalf of the
American Red Cross, as far as Phil
|adelphia is concerned. The program
was varied somewhat from the three
previous days, for two singles and
Ia doubles match were submitted for
two doubles and singles.
In the first match of the day c. r.
Garland, of Pittsburgh, defeated
George Throckmorton, the junior ma
|tional champion, in straight sets, Ga,
|6-2, and in the second f. b. Alex
lander and John Strachan defeated
Wallace +. johnson and S. H. Nos-
hell. GA, Sc. The match that at
|tracted the most interest, between
Miss Molla Bjurstedt, women's ma
|tional singles champion, and Miss
MARY Browne, former singles cham
|pion, was reserved for the last of the
|day. 1t undoubtedly attracted the
|most interest, and the fact that Miss
browne has defeated the Norwegian
consistently during the past two
weeks added extra zest to the con-
Hest.
Miss Bjurstedt, however, came
right back to her championship
form and defeated her opponent
fairly and equarely in straight sets.
'6-4, 6-1. Recently Miss Bjurstedt's
game has lacked the snap and gin
ger that earned her the title for three
Wears in succession, and quite num-
her of critics were of the opinion
|that she has been playing too much
tennis this season.
