GERMAN ALIEN WOMEN TO HAVE

Hartford, Sept 21-An German fe- males, who are alien enemies, IA years old and upwards, will be requir- ed to have permits to entitle them to visit prohibited zone. under war reg uIations on and after Oct. ,, accord ing to information received yester- dav bv United States Marshal Ches

In other words the same restrictions that have ap- piled to German alien males under the proclamation issued by President Wilson on April 6, 1917, the day the United States declared that a state of war existed between this country and Germany, are to apply to an extent at least, to female alien enemies.
 Detailed information as to the method of making application and the issuing of permits is expected from Washington. The work of issuing permits will be done by the United States marshal and his deputies and that it may not be necessary for fe- males of the alien enemy class to visit this city to make application for per mits, deputy marshals will be station ed in other places of the state to re- ceive applications and issue permits.

It is not anticipated that the restrictions will apply as for cibly to female alien enemies as to males of the alien enemy class. Women who are housekeepers have to go out and make purchases, and al though some women are in the alien enemy class they may be in sympathy and in accord with this government.

York High School leaders in the
Central Pennsylvania Basketball
League will invade this city Thurs
day night to play Tech the first of
their series. Allentown, Steelton and
Reading have fallen victims to Coach
Bilheimer's proteges. The game will
take place at Chestnut street audi
torium one day earlier than sched-
uled. The change was necessary so
that the auditorium could be secured.
A victory for Tech will send the
Maroon into a tie with the White
Roses for first place. To keep in the
running for the pennant Tech will
have to land the contest. IT will be
the first time this season that York
has played away from home and this
should favor the local aggregation.

j w CORNER

Harrisburg has had some thrillers
in cage contests, but none had any
thing on those at Cathedral Hall last
night. The Hassett Junior League
started with two games. Players
from IL to IA years or age, and they
know the game. Future greats every
one of them. Another big point
scored by the Hassett school for
gymnastics.
Harry Davis announces his retire
,ment from baseball. For a long time
he has been righthand man for Con-
ME Mack and the Athletic leader
loses a valuable man. Davis has q
big business and is quite prominent
in politics.
Local shooters are anxiously
awaiting the plans for the big state
shoot to be held in this city Febru-
ary %. Crack shots all over the
state will be here and some COM
petition is looked for.
1t is now about certain that Benny
kauff and Casey Stengel will be in
khaki uniform in a few weeks These
stars have been placed in the first
draft and neither has asked exemp-
ton.
Connie Mack has n secret. He will
get Red Sox players for his lineup
before long, but won't tell who is
coming. One thing is certain, he is
gong to have foundation for an
other championship team.

their games have been on the York
floor. AS soon as they start to swing
around the circuit, they Will find
that the other teams are capable of
winning too at home. York played
the same kind of a hand last season.
After leading in the first. half, they
dropped back quickly after they be-
gan TO play away from home.
Tech lost one big opportunity of
the season, when they dropped two
points margin contest to Lebanon
last week. The quintet that can win
one or two games on foreign courts
will be the team that will land the
pennant. Had Tech used any judg-
ment in selecting a foul tosser, they
would have won by a close margin.
At the next meeting of the league
officials the matter of rating the
players in the league standing will be
discussed. 1t is apparent that the
player who tosses the fouls, is sure
to have, an advantage over the ath-
lete who does not work from the fif-
teen-foot mark. The guards too are
offensive players, and the question of
crediting q player for an assist will
hold the officials attention. Allen
town showed that it is in company
too fast for their class. The players
are good sized but young and mex
perienced. In another year, they
may come into their own.
The leading offensive players from
each team follow: Frank, Central,
Nyquist, Reading; Gingerich, York;
Coleman, Steelton; Miller, Lebanon;
Weston, Allentown: and Miller,

Lee Magee Must Stand
For Big Cut in Salary;
No More Soft Money

New York, Jan. 29.-Lee Magee.
the former Yankee outfelder, re-
ceived a contract this year which
proved quite a shock to the sandy
haired boy from Connecticut, but
was no more than he reasonably
could expect. Lees contract for
1918 calls for less than half the
amount he drew from the Yankees
and Browns during the last two sea-
sons. Lee had a Federal League con-
tract calling for $4,000 for three
years, which was taken over by Cap
Huston when Lee was brought by
the Yankees.
AS Magee hit bare 200 in 81
games last season it is doubtful If
his new contract calls for more
than $4,000 a year. A cut from
SS,333 to $4,000 is some reduction,
But Lee may comfort himself with
the fact that the $4,000 he drew
down in the last three years was as
soft money as was ever made by a
big Lacquer.
The complete breakdown of Magee
upon coming to New York always
will remain one of the mysteries OF
the game. Magee was a very good
player in the National League.
George Stallings said of him in the
spring of 1916: HE approaches Cobb
closer than any man playing ball
to-day"
However, in his season and a half
with the Yankees Magee proved the
greatest appointment that ever
wore a New York uniform. His
work in 1916 was a disappointment,
but he was expected TO get out of his
rut in 1917, when instead he broke
down completely in fielding as well
as in hitting.
