Duffy Lewis Triple
Beats Out All Stars;
Big Benefit Contest

Boston, Sept. 2S.-The Boston
Americans yesterday defeated by the
score of to 0 an all-star team, re-
cruited from leading players of the
American League, with Maranville,
of the Boston Nationals, at shortstop.
The entire proceeds went to the fam
lily of the late II. II. Murnane, who,
until his death last winter, was one
of the most prominent American
baseball writers. The receipts were
well over $4,000.
With two out in the eighth inning,
Manager Barry, of Boston, singled TO
left off the delivery of Walter John
son, of Washington. Hoblitzel singled
over second and both men scored on
Lewis triple to right center.
Cobb, of Detroit; Speaker, of
Cleveland, and Jackson, of the
Champion Chicago Americans, play
ed the outfield for the all-stars, and
contributed Sensational plays. Nc
Innis, of the Athletics, was at first;
Chapman, the Cleveland shortstop,
at second, and W eaver, of Chicago, at
third.
Before the game some of base
balls greatest stars competed in the
field events. McNally, of Boston,
won the n-to-first event:
Joe Jackson, of the White SoX, made
the longest throw; Dutch Leonard, of
the Red Sox, the most accurate one,
while Chapman, of Cleveland, show

team. winners in the Eastern di-

wild and woolly section west of the
majestic Alleghenies. If this meet
ing was for the premier title of the
world instead of the realms of rail-
road baseball, the interest could not
be greater among the followers of
the teams.
The battle for the final honors this
year has been tighter in every way
than has ever been the case before,
and should have been settled at least
week ago instead of having run on
as 1t has. 1t was bad enough in the
East, but out in the wilds matters
were even worse, with each team
batting the others all over the map
at intervals. The scrap there finally
resolved itself into a fight between
Altoona, Williamsport and Pitcairn.

Big Preparations For
First Ambulance Game

Allentown, Pa, Sept. Coach
Price had another three-hour ses-
sion with the Ambulance Corps foot
ball squad on Muhlenberg Field yes
terday, when every form of exercise
was given the players to get them in
to condition for the opening game
with Penn-State tomorrow. From
all indications this will be the big
gest gridiron event that has ever
been held in Allentown.
While the candidates for the
eleven were at work in the field car
penters were busy increasing the ca
pacity of the bleachers and grand
stand to 1000, and if the weather is
fair, 1t is believed the crowd will
number 10000. The city is at fever
heat because all the soldiers of the
camp want to see the contest and
they have friends in and out of the
city who want to witness the game.
A thousand dollars has been ap-
portioned. by vote of the board of
officers of the camp, from the post
exchange fund for the equipment of
the team, which will have striking
blue uniforms.
Some of the equipment is slow in
coming, and probably for lack of
pads the first accident occurred yes
terday, when Boehl, fast end from
the University of Tennessee, suffered
a dislocated shoulder. The disloca-
tion was quickly reduced by the
camp surgeons.

played each other without decision.
One team would lick the other, and in
the second meeting suffer the same
fate itself, while the third game
would invariably prove to be a tie.
There were some hard-fought games
among the western teams until last
Thursday, when final decision was
reached among the three by the
elimination of WiNliamsport. For
the first time in several years Altoona
succeeded in defeating the Williams
port nine by 5 to 3. after they had
played a twelve-inning tie.
This finished Williamsport, but
things were evened up again by Pit
cairn defeating Altoona by to 8, so
that these latter two fought it out
this week. The winner will meet
the Jersey Tigers for the system
championship. The second game in
this championship series will be
played in Trenton on October 6, while
the field for the third game has not
been decided upon vet.

its connection with the National
League has been continuous. The
Chicago White Sox played prom
inent part in the forming of the
American League in 1900 and has
also held continuous membership in
the junior league since that year.
-Four Times Winner
During this period of eighteen
years the White Sox have won four
pennants, capturing flags in 1900,
1901, 1906 and 1917. The club has
figured in but one World Series.
however, meeting and defeating the
Chicago Nationals by four games TO
two in 1906. The New York Ma
tionals have a more extensive record
in this respect owing to longer con-
nection with the senior league. Since
1876 the club has won seven league
championships and three World
Series, and its average position for
SO seasons is four and very small
fraction. Chicago's showing in this
department of the records is even
better, the White Sox having gained
the high average of "a over stretch
of 18 years.
Pennants rewarded the work of
the New York club players in 1888,
1889, 1904, 1905, 1911, 1912. 1913
and again this season. In 1888 the
Giants defeated the St. Louis Amer
lean Association team in the World
Series of those days. ten games to
four, and the following season won
from Brooklyn of the same circuit
six games to three. In 1905 they de-
feated the Philadelphia Americans
four games to one, having refused to
meet the Boston Americans the pre-
vious year. The Philadelphia Ath-
laticS secured revenge when the
teams met in 1911, winning four
games to two. Boston Red Sox
maintained the American League
record by defeating the Giants four
games out of seven in 1912. and the
next season Philadelphia repeated
at the New York clubs expense, win
ming four games to one.

taste of real work Saturday when the
local eleven lines up against the

Hollond succeeds T. Willis Patter-
son, who enlisted in the quarter
master corps of the army. The
schedule this year is one of the best
in the history of the Maroon insti-
tuition. The most important games
are with Greensburg, Steelton and
Central. Injuries in scrimmage to a
number of players may somewhat
weaken the lineup for the opening
fray, but with the large number of
candidates the gaps will be filled with
good players.

New, York, Sept. 28.-In the long
history of World Series play for the
championship of the baseball uni
verse it is doubtful If any previous
contest of this character aroused the
widespread interest which has been
engendered by the coming clash be-
tween the Chicago Americans and
the New York Nationals. Although
World Series play Is not new to eth
er of the cities represented by clubs
in the finale of the professional base
ball year, it will be the first time
that New York and Chicago clubs
have met for the premier honors of
the diamond.
This is all the more remarkable
when 1t is considered that the World
Series dates back to 1884 and has
continued in one form or another
and with but few breaks for more
than thirty years. The ensuing
series will be the twenty sixth since
the Providence Club of the National
League faced the Metropolitan team
of the American Association in the
initial contest back in 1884 and
emerged victor in three straight
games. 1t will also be the thirteenth
played under the code and jurisdic-
ton of the National Commission
which in 1905 arranged for an an
nual meeting between the pennant
winning clubs of the two major
leagues.
Twelve Series
OF the twelve series staged under
these rules the American League
teams have won seven and the Ma
tional League clubs five. Slxty-si1
games have been played, of which
the Americans have won 33 and the
Nationals 81, with two resulting in
tie contests. But one run divided the
records of the two leagues in this
respect as during these sc games the
National League players have
crossed the plate 223 times to their
rivals 222.
Another interesting feature of the
meeting of the Chicago and New
York Clubs is the fact that both may
be said to hold charter membership
in their respective organizations. The
New York team entered the senior
baseball circuit on formation in 1876
and finished sixth that season. At the
close of the schedule play the COM
bination dropped out and did moi

TELEPHONE CONFERENCE
Plummer, Idaho.

Olympia, Dec. 10, 1916.
Gentlemen:-In view of the number
of complaints, some of them of a
pressing nature, received by this COM
mission from so-called Farmer Line
companies, regarding the division of
toll revenues between these companies
and the Pacific Telephone e. Tele-
graph company, and that similar dis
putes exist between other telephone
companies having mutual relations,
and in view of the further fact that
schedules of rates now exist between
the so-called Farmer companies and
the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
company, there being sliding scale
ranging from $500 to $500, arrang-
ed in ten steps, depending upon the
number of stations connected, which
must result in schedules frequently
changing, which schedules have for
some time been in allegiance and need
investigation.
Now, therefore, conference will be
held in Olympia, at II a. m, on the
18th day of January, 1917, between
the commission and all interested
parties, and their representatives..
This commission will be pleased at
such conference to hear all such per-
sons personally, or by counsel, COM
mittee, or other representatives, and
also to consider all such communica-
tions as those interested may present,
concerning the relationship between
the telephone companies operating in
this state relative to tolls, exchange
and switching service and connections.
Yours truly,

DARN EASY-DARNER

If you are looking for something
that will make your household work
easier and save you money on cloth
ing then we have the thing.
1t is miniture weaving machine
that can be used for mending wool
or silk sweaters, underwear, socks and
stockings or in fact anything in the
wool line.
1t is an instructor for the young
and is SO simple that your children
will be delighted to do the darning.
1t will make darning a pastime and
will save you money. You can use
any kind of yarn, darning cotton or
silk and it makes a smooth even patch
ten times as fast as the common way
of darning. There is no picking up
of each thread with the needle as in
the old way and no chance for mis-
takes, hence a heater looking patch
when finished. The saving on a pair
of hose will cover the cost of the de-
wise and the darner will last a life
time.
1t is a patented devise and can be
had for 25c from G.. F. Heiss, 1912
