THE BATTLE
!, OF GETTYSBURG
Greatest Contest of Civil War
TO Be Fought Today by
Kiwanis and Black Cats

Gettysburg, Aug 27--Foresakins
all business. more than two score
members of the Kiwanis Club of
Harrisburg, arrived here to-day nc
companying their peerless baseball
team which is to meet the Black
Cats. of Camp Colt. this afternoon.
With such noble fans as Charles E.
Reeser and William Strouse in the
lead, the delegation swamped the
town, buying every souvenir in sight
hiring some odd dozens of automo-
biles to see the battlefield and finally
congregating on the athletic Held
where the second battle ofGettysburg
was to be waged.
There is much speculation as 10
the outcome of the game. Even Bill
Strouse, baseball philosopher extra
ordinary and purveyor of neckties to
the populace, was silent about the
identity of the victors.
When the smoke of battle has llft-
ed and the dead have been decently
buried, the entire party will retire TO
the mess tents at Camp Colt for
big f.. cd, the visitors being the guests
of the Black Cats. The evening Will
be spent in general jollification.
To a Telegraph representative 1t
was explained that If the Black Cats
win this afternoons game, another
game will be played in Harrisburg
The first game of the series played In
the capital city was won by the
Kiwanians. This afternoons game
is the second.

Second BaSemen i'm This Series
Below Par, Says Fullerton

ers, because Coveleskie, Morton and
Bagby all would tend to make a bat
waver out of him. He does not figure
to hit nearly as well against the Red
SoX pitchers as against the twirlers
of his own circuit. Bush will trouble
him greatly. He. probably would hit
against Mays better even than
against Jones, and whether he gets a
foul off Ruth or not depends upon
Ruth's condition on his pitching
days.
In fielding Zeider will be slightly
handicapped against the Red Sox be-
cause the team is faster than the
majority of those against which he
has been working. Zeider has not
shown well in the National this year
in gaines against speedy teams. in
dicating that he cannot work as fast
as he could in former years.
l have been somewhat worried
about Zeider's condition in the re-
cent weeks. His feet are bad and he
slows up at times when the damag-
ed members give trouble. Also, when
he was in the East, he looked to be
slightly off his game both in New
York and Brooklyn. Mitchell has
been trying Pick out at second to
replace Zeider in case the veterans
feet bother him in the series, but
one thing is certain, and that is that
Zeider will play with both feet off
unless ordered out. He is one of the
gamest men in baseball.
Tuck Turner's chances of engaging
in the championship are dwindling
away rapidly, even though the work
or fight order does not bother him
personally. He is one of the greatest
veterans the game has produced and
honestly, he looks faster and better
this fall, since he was summoned to
the rescue when Wamby was called
to the colors, than he has in several
years. 1t is hardly probably that
Turner will go the route at second
and l have had to figure combina-
tion of Halt and Turner as second
basemen, and figure old Tuck part
of the games at third.
However, since Cleveland's chances
are dwindling rapidly, the figures
make little difference.
Tomorrow we will tackle the
shertstops, where there is class in all
directions. The shotstops stand out
strongly in relief as compared with
the second and third basemen of the
teams.

German Military Critics
Admit Failure of Ludendorh

London.-The Daily Telegraph
correspondent at Rotterdam. quoting
Stegemann, the military critic of the
Duesseldorfer Nachrichten, in refer
ence to further offensive operations
by the Allies, says:
"If this develops, then the task
of the Germans will be. in>the first
place. that of defense. Perhaps quite
a new strategic treatment of ideas
will gain domination. We must not
deceive ourselves. The military sit
uation is more entangled than 1t has
ever been before. In certain circum-
stances the maintenance of as much
of q living force as possible will be
more important than the quick fight
ing through of a campaign of deci-
sion."
The newspaper gives prominence to
Inns utterance. which locke like the
first intimation to the German peo-
pIe from their own side that Luden-
dorff's plan for ending the war had
been abandoned

AROUND THE. BASES

, last night. Tender was the aggres-
sor throughout the bout.

club and former University of Ore

Ball players are not receiving the
inducements from shipyards and
steel plants that were offered a few
weeks ago. The government has put
its foot down on that form of evad-
ing real war work. and now it is a
case of actually working for as much
per day and playing ball on the side
simply for glory and exercise if they
so desire.
That there will be plenty of foot
| ball this year Notwithstanding war
conditions is indicated by the result
tof a canvass of the intercollegiate
situation just reported from the East.
A New York writer who has gone
over the whole field says he finds
that of the colleges which played
! the game last fall only six have an
nounced their intention not to be in
the field again this season. Three of
these are Southern institutions. The
list includes Carlisle Indian School,
Georgetown, University of Detroit,
North Carolina Agricultural and
Electrical, Randolph Bacon and
Richmond College. Fordham, too,
may be added to the list. There
I may be others, but in the main the
field will be stronger than it was
last year. If Harvard, Yale and
Princeton return it will mean a big
Increase in interest in the season.
Another consideration not to be ig-
nored is the fact that the Army
Navy game is to be revived. Moth
ing official has been given out, but it
is understood that the authorities at
! West Point and Annapolis have come
TO some understanding. Both real
lze that sport is an essential factor
now that the men are being driven
along at double quick in the class
rooms. Besides the game offers a
good opportunity for Red Cross or
other war fund aid.

WILSON DELAYS.
.BONE-DRY NATION
UNTIL JULY1,1 1919
Forces Extension of Date So
That Stocks May Be Sold;
Vets Want More Time

Washington, Aug. 27.-The nation
Will not become bone dry until July
/. 1919, at the earliest, even in the
event of the passage of the wartime
prohibition measure now pending in
Congress.
The prohibition forces in the Senate
yesterday agreed to amend the pro-
hibition rider to the food production
bill, which is scheduled to come up
for debate in the upper branch of
Congress as soon as the manpower
bill has been disposed of, so as to
permit the sale of whiskies and other
distilled spirits until July 1, instead
of prohibiting their sale after Janu-
ary /, as the amendment originally
provided.
The agreement of the prohibition
lists was obtained under pressure from
the White House. Senator Sheppard
of Texas, had a long talk on the sub
iejct with President Wilson on Satur-
day, he said to-day, and the Presi-
dent insisted upon an extension of
time so the stocks could be disposed
of, and the government obtain the
revenue from the sales.
There are approximately $50, 900 900
gallons of whisky in bond. and under
the new revenue bill more than ST.
600, 100000 would be derived from
taxes on liquors during the coming
year. The present fiscal year ends
June 80, and the extension of time
for selling the liquors until then
would turn several hundred million
dollars of badly needed revenue into
the treasury.
President Wilson. it is understood,
has given the Prohibitionists no en-
commencement in their fight for ma ton
wide prohibition as a war necessity.
He is understood to favor a further
extension of time for the liquor traf-
fc until January 1, 1920. The "wets"
in the Senate plan to fight for such
an extension

These Little Pigs Went
to Market-in Motors
and Lost Their Lives

Omaha.--An example of how mo-
tor trucks are relieving railroad
transportation in many sections of
the country is shown in the receipts
of hogs delivered to the Omaha mar
ket by this method of conveyances.
According to report recently
compiled by the Bureau of Markets,
there was an increase of $50 per
cent. in the number of hogs trans
ported TO that market by motor
trucks during the first six months in
1918, as compared to the correspond
ing period of 1917. The number
carried in this way amounted to
92,7S0 for the period in 1918, as
compared to 33,0S4 for the corre-
spending months last year.
