Muggsy McGraw has made good
his boast. Chicago is not running
away with Worlds championship.
Chances arc still even. In the two
eastern games the Giants have
played better baseball. The White
SoX twirlers have been unable to
hold the McGraw swatters.
Harrisburg Academy, under the
new coach, is showing fast work.
Tomorrow the loca leleven will meet
Reading High. 1t means not only
honors but gold football for each
player, if the Academy team goes
through the season without de-
feat.
The following from the Easton
Free Press: The local followers
of football will witness two games
of football next Saturday afternoon
for one admission. Lafayette Will
play the fast Harrisburg Tech. team.
Harrisburg held the championship
of Pennsylvania last year and are
after the same honors this year.
But Easton High is going to try and
smash this record. Two years ago
Easton High defeated Harrisburg
by the score OF Is to 0, and last year
Harrisburg defeated Easton High by
the score of IA to 0. Therefore the
game this Saturday is to be the de-
Gliding game. Harrisburg has won
both of it's games played this year
1t has one of the best teams in its
history"

who find the pace too fast for them.
And what's more, all sorts of plans
for bringing a young army of back
ers along with the team, are being
talked over and prepared to be put
into execution.
In addition to the interest which
has been aroused by the announce
ment of the scheduled appearance of
college gridiron stars, the local ath-
letes who are expected % help win
for Allentown are going to get a
rousing welcome. Tech students es-
pecially are understood to be prepar-
ing to show their old-time stars that
the school still remembers them, and
natuIb lily there is lot of local pride
all over the city.
Additional players announced by
the Gettysburg management include
the names of Lieutenants Evans,
Clark. Murphy, Remington and Mills
who formerly wore the colors of the
Universities of Illinois and Notre
Dame, respectively.

Shock For Fans Over
Downfall of White Sox

Chicago, Oct. II. - Chicago's White
SoX fans. shocked by two reverses
following the initial victories here,
now look for a seven game series with
slight advantage resting with the
Giants because of McGraw's seeming
reserve of pitchers.
Cicotte is expected to pitch and
win the fifth game. After that, Sox
admirers do not know what to look
for. The first game here and the third
in New York were decided by breaks
of lucks. according to local opinion.
The better team won the second and
fourth games.
At scoreboards here yesterday. the
crowds seemed almost evenly divided
in their allegiance, which is surpris-
ing. Likewise there has been plenty
of Giants money to cover SoX wagers
on any single game.
That the Giants have regained their
confidence is admitted here. but Sox
admirers cite the fact that Comiskey's
teams have always been great money
players and show their best
when put to crucial tests. The fifth
game looks like the test. If New York
wins the odd game, SoX partisans will
lose most of their hope as well as most
of their bankrollS.

ARMY TEAMS TO
PLAY TOMORROW:
CROWDS COMING

nounced that reserved seats will be
sold on the grounds, if there are any
LEFT, the surest plan is to get them
reserved on the chart at Messer-
smiths. There is only a limited num-
Der, and from all indications a rec
ord crowd is due for the games.
According to word received from
both camps, the two football teams
which will meet in this city tomor-
row, have been working hard. The
coaches of both elevens have been
running the men through daily prac-
tices, and attention has also been
given to perfecting signals and team
work.
A number of new plays have been
gone over, and will be sprung Sor the
first time tomorrow. while forma-
tions that have proved winners in the
past on college gridirons will be run
through on the island.
Rivalry Is Strong

that not a football veteran remains
on the squad and that every week
the young players are entering some

management has decided to keep the

over now and he will keep busy.

ball battle the Allentown Chronicle
says: THE Usaacs "All-Americans"
will play the team organized by the
officers of the Seventh u. S. Infan-
try at Island Park, Harrisburg, on
Saturday. 1t will be their first con-
test away from home. Some inkling
us to the nature of the coming clash
between the all-star ambulance team
and the officers may be gathered
from the fact that the aggregation
from Harrisburg includes Lamphier,
who held place on the West Point
eleven for four years. Coffin, his
old teammate at the Military Insti-
triton: Lieut.. Kirk, of the University
of Maine eleven, and Lieut.. Allen
who played with the University of
Illinois varsity. Not the least im-
portant portion of Saturdays expc-
dition will be the Camp band of so
pieces, which is to be backed up by
an organized Camp cheering section,
the rooters and the band will parade
