Local fooths!; taas are tuning up
for the big football game at Island
Park Saturday when Gettysburg and
Bucknell meet in annual battle. Due
tc the fact that Gettysburg has been
showing comeback form, increased
interest is manifested in the outcome.
Tech is without game for Satur-
Gay. Athletic Director Percy L.
Grubb is anxious to keep the team
ir motion. Negotiations are on and
there may be a game with some
nearby town. If the varsity five is
given a rest, the afternoon will be
spent at the big college game on
the Island.
In the recollection of Elmer Il. Sha-
ner. of Pittsburgh as manager, sec
retary and treasurer of the Inter-
state Association. the best man to
take care of big shooting events has
been selected. He is well known
here. having officiated at all the big
shoots when the Harrisburg Sports
mems Association was in its infancy

Gettysburg in Shape
For Game Here Saturday

Gettysburg, Pa, Nov. 13.-The
Gettysburg team all came out of
the Mount st. Mary's game in
good physical condition and re-
ported last night for a long signal
drill. The hard drive starts to-
day for the game with Bucknell
at Harrisburg next Saturday.
Coach Leathers spent most of the
time in correcting errors which
developed in Saturdays play, and
in. explaining few new plays
which he hopes to use against
Bucknell on Saturday. The result
of the Mount st. Mary's game was
gratifying to both coach and play
ers. Fisher. Meyer and Scheffer,
who played the best games on
Saturday, are all in excellent con-
dition and only did light work last
night. Oyler and Thompson, the
big tackles. are better than they
have been at any time during the
season and will be a tower of
strength on the line.

Jack BrittOn Wins Over
Johnny Tillman Last Night

Philadelphia, Nov. 13.-Jack Brit
ton, the Chicago welterweight. easily
earned the verdict over Johnny Till
man, of Minneapolis, in six rounds at
the Olympia A. A.
After the first two rounds, Britton
experienced little difficulty, and
easily outboXed his strong opponent.
AS the bout progressed the crowd
sensed the fact that Britton was not
extending himself to the utmost, and
he was roundly hooted.
The fact that Britton tonight is
scheduled to hoX in Buffalo no doubt
accounts for his defensive tactics.
In the semiwind-up, Harry Tracey
and Young Mahoney, of Hazleton,
boxed hard draw. Tracey dropped
Mahoney for a second in the first
round. The upstate youngster, how
ever. soon regained his feet and,
fighting back strongly, evened the
score by battering the Philadelphia
around the body.

MINOR MOGULS MEET TO
CHANGE BASEBALL MAP;
MAY SUSPEND NEXT YEAR

Louisville, Nov. 13.-What promises
to be the most important meeting of
the National Association of Profess
sional Baseball Leagues in the his
tory of the game opened here to-day
for three days sessions. Before the
business is complete the entire minor
league baseball map may be changed.
In this connection the proposal
about which the greatest amount of
bossip, has centered and which seems
likely. to. produce the bitterest con-
troversy is the plan to form new
organization from parts of the Amer
ican Association and the 1nterna-
tional League. The proposed league
would include Louisville, 1ndianap-
ellis, Columbus and Toledo from the
American Association and Toronto,
Buffalo. Newark and Baltimore from
the International League. The four
clubs in each league which would be
left out in the cold under this ar
Iangement are expected to furnish
all the opposition to the project of
which they are capable. In addition
demands will be made, it is said, by
interests in the Western. Pacific
Coast, Texas. Three 1 and Central
Leagues, the Southern Association
and several other organizations for
a realignment of their territories.
May suspend Minors
\ movement may be launched to
suspend operations in several smaller
minor leagues until the close of war.

President ]. II. Farrell, of the New
York State League, is opposed to
having Montreal a part of the CIR
cult. The jumps would be too great
to assure any financial success.
Some minor league stars who
kicked on small salaries this season
may be glad to accept a job at any
price next year. Prospects for base
ball in the smaller towns are not
very bright.

founders of the American League, who

tied with winning another fortune

good fortune again. 1t developed

pended early in July. The Three l
League. which had weathered all
kinds of conditions for seventeen
years, was obliged to suspend on
July s. The Northwestern League
held on for a week longer and the
Central Association managed to con-
tinue until August :.
The Western League was forced to
change its alignment and split it's
season in July to stir up new inter-
est. Even the American Association
began to slash expenses early in the
season because of the heavy losses
due to postponements. resulting from
unreasonable weather conditions.
Closed season
Presidents of several minor leagues
in the middle west are whole-heart-
edly in favor of putting baseball on
the shelf for a year and possibly
two. They favor releasing all play
ers and starting anew at the close
of the war on a less expensive oper-
ating basis. Continuation of present
salaries of minor league players, they
contend. is out of the question. The
unsettled conditions in the minors,
however, are not entirely due to the
war in the league, in the opinion of
Harry w. Stahlhefer. president OF
the Central League. He believes the
small, inexpensive motorcar has seri-
ously cut down the attendance in the
smaller cities.
From my study of the situation,
have concluded that the factory
worker who in former years spent
a quarter or fifty cents for seat In
a baseball park on Sunday has
bought small automobile which
takes his spare money. We usually
counted on these patrons for regular
Sunday business. But now, instead
of going to a ball game, he takes his
family for a ride in the country. And
at present-day prices for necessities
after a fellow gets through buying
motor supplies, he has nothing lett
tC lavish on baseball.
Golf also is a contributing cause.
Men who used to patronize baseball
in Evansville, Ind, my home. are TAX
ing exercise themselves instead of
watching ballplayers get it,"

CHANCES EQUAL
In BIG BATTLE:
GRID CLASSIC

of Gettysburg will have to show
some real class
No Price Increase
The management has decided not
TO increase the price of admission
over that of last year to this football
classic on Saturday afternoon and
will include in the seventy-tive cents
the war tax. This has been done be-
cause the local management has felt
that some recognition of the local
fans support of this annual contest
should be given and this is the man
ner determined upon by them to
show this appreciation. So the price
of admission has practically been
reduced this year, inasmuch as the
general admission of last year will
include the war tax of this year.
To accommodate the increased de-
rand for reserved seats, the man.
agement has decided to place the
first seats on sale at Messersmith S
store. PIP Market street, at noon to-
morrow. They have also arranged
to sell general admission at the same
place Saturday morning.

Local followers of football who
witness the gridiron classic on Island
Park Saturday between the Gettys-
burg College eleven and the Bucknell
College team will not only see two
well-coached aggregations locked in
desperate struggle, but will see two
eleVens evenly matched, with the ad-
vantage on neither side.
The showing of the Gettysburgians
against Mount st. Mary's on Saturday
was most encouraging to the Battle
FIELD supporters. The soldiers are
will present the strongest team that
has represented them this year on
the gridron The defense developed
by Coach Leathers will match the
Bucknell line of offense and the
backs of the up-river institution, men
of experience, will find the first and
second lines of defense of the Bat
tlefield boys difficult to penetrate
The Getty sburg battleline has devel-
oped into one of those old-time
fighting defensive teams that will
not permit themselves to be beaten
1t is a team that will outlast its
rival because in addition to having
defensive ability, it has unlimited
courage and fight.
BuckneII n Winner
The Syracuse -Bucknell game does
not give any indication of the real
strength of the Lewisburg eleven
as at least a half dozen of Coach
JChnston's best men were on the
sidelines, who wene spared for the
contest with Gettysburg on Satur-
day. The Bucknell aggregation is a
machine which moves about two oil
three men-Captain Newcombe, Kos
tos and Waddell-who are the inn
portant cogs of the combination
Although these players are the nu.

they are surrounded by eight other
men. each of whom fits into the ma
