j w CORNER

Scholastic teams in the opening
league games offered interesting ex-
hibitions. Central, Tech and Steel
ton will prove big attractions
throughout the circuit.
Harrisburg fans hungry for league
baseball would never support the
Blue Ridge game. Only a complete
readjustment of organized rules and
new leaders will bring the kind OF
game wanted in this city.
Notwithstanding his bone" play
in the worlds series season, Man
ager 'Muggsy" McGraw will not let
Heine Zimmerman go. A contract
for 1918 was signed Saturday.
President John X. Tener and Sec
retary Heydler of the National Lea
que, passed through Harrisburg last
night enroute to Cincinnati, where
all important baseball conference is
scheduled for to-day.
War or no war, Harrisburg is not
in shape to take up league base
ball the coming season, unless one
or more big-hearted philanthropists
are ready to donate $4,000 to pay
the debt that will keep this city
out of organized baseball, unless IT
is paid.

LEAGUE STARTS
INDICATES LIVELY SEASON.;
SCHEDULE FOR THIS WEEK

The Pennsylvania Scholastic Bas-
ketball League launched upon it's
third voyage last week when five
teams got their initial starts. Read
ing and Central were the only two
quintets that did not play. Tech won
from Lebanon, while Allentown, the
baby Of the league. dropped game
each to York and Steelton. In both
contests the Dutch showed that they
have a formidable aggregation. None
OF the battles were won by large
scores. which indicates that the teams
are evenly matched.
Central played a preliminary game
at Lewistown while Reading lost a
42 to 40 contest to Baltimore City
College. Reading will continue to
play preliminary games until Janu-
airy 1s, when they will travel to AL
lentown for their first league contest.

DIR. Robert E. McElroy, Friend
of President, Urges Con-
structive Leadership

Philadelphia, Jan. 7.-Constructive
leadership to win the war is demand
ed by DR.. Robert L. McElroy, who
succeeded President Wilson as pro-
lessor OF politics at Princeton. and
who is educational director of the
National Security League. He spoke
at dinner of the Business Science
club Saturday at the Bellevue STRAIT
ford. The Rev. n. 5. Thomas. bishop
of Wyoming, also spoke Walter Lee
Rosenberger presided.
I'VE cannot win under such leader
ship as we have seen in this country
during the past nine months de-
clared DR., McElroy. in beginning his
address on ''Idealistic Interpretation
of the War"
The brains to put five million men
into the field with all the equipment
TO outfit them has been lacking up to
this time. There has been too much
suppression of thought and no liberty
for the constructive criticism that is
essential.
BY placing the 'dolIar-a-year' men
iE control OF the administrative func-
tions of the United States Govern
ment we are sitting the possibility
of getting good men from the ranks.
There can be no efficiency of op-
Grafton in any department where the
heads are chosen from among those
alone who can AFFORD to serve for
nothing.

Rose Says Story of
QUESTIONABLE Answers
Was Sensational

George B. Rose, who registered as
an alien enemy before the local reg
istration board in this city. COM
plains that the account of his reg
lstration was treated in sensational
manner" by this newspaper.
Rose declares that he is not a
citizen of the United States, that he
would be willing to return to Ger
many and enter the military service
of the kaiser, because l would have
to-" He says he would not enter the
military service of the United States
even though his father he admits,
has taken out his first papers to be-
come citizen of the United States.
He reiterates that he is willing to
serve Germany in n military way.
lie declines, however, to say that he
would take any orders from the Ger
man government in his present
status.
II did not answer the questions
put to me in belligerent way" he
said, and l have a letter from the
board to that effect. What l object
to is the way the item appeared.
There are lot more like me in Har-
risburg and about 100000 in the
United States"
Rose has lived in the United States
about nine years but admitted to a
Telegraph reporter that If he return
ed to Germany he would have to
enter the army" and in explaining
unwillingness to serve in the United
States Army he defended himself on
the score that he would not go back
and fight against his brothers."
At the Hickok company where
Rose is employed, it was said he has
been a quiet and efficient workman.
Rose has procured a letter from a
member of the bar who assisted him
in which he says that he had reg
istered one man who was technically
an alien enemy, that George b. Rose,
machinist at the Hickok works, u
husky, intelligent gentleman fellow,
had been in this country a number
of years, had not been naturalized
nor taken out first papers, when ask
ed the question, frankly said he was
willing to return to Germany and
enter that country's military service.
This is substantially all l said. Every
thing else in the story, all the SEN
sational and dramatic accompani-
ment is either the product of the
writer's imagination, or he got 1t
from some other source. / don't know
how you feel toward the country
whose hospitality you have long en-
joyed and are now enjoying, but that
is quite beside the point, thN.

"BOB" SHAWKEY IN BAD---
WIFE SUES FOR DIVORCE;
ALLEGES HE IS STACKER

Bob Shawkey, who first became
famous when pitching for Harris
burg; formerly one of Connie Mack's
Athletics, and now a member of the
New York Yankee pitching staff, is
in danger of being released from
the Matrimo onial League after three
years services. A charge of assault
and battery was been preferred
against him by his wife, nee Marie
La Killer, later Mrs. Herbert Mason
Clapp, and better known as the
Tiger Lady, and a divorce suit
threatens to develop.
The trouble is said to have origi-
mated when Mrs. Shawkey declined
to sign an affidavit to Bob's claim
for exemption on the draft ques-
tionnaire. Shawkey, riled, is all
legged to have hit Mrs. Shawkey, who
retaliated by tossing her husband S
two trunks of clothes, n set of deer
heads and other personal belongings
out into the street and then having
them removed to a Broad street
hotel, where she had engaged quar-
ters for the pitcher and his sister,
who resided with them.
Three Weeks Quarrels
We've been quarreling over his
exemption for about three weeks"
stated Mrs. Shawkey in explaining
why she had a warrant issued for
Bob's arrest He's twenty-seven
years of age, husky and able-bodied.

kept moving. He believes both pri--
have abused the demurrage priv
leges and that congestion at the
principal eastern terminals has been
due to slow unloading of freight.
The penalty of $40 a day for ev-
cry day a car is held beginning with
the eighth day is far more drastic
than anything the railroads were
able to obtain through the Inter
state Commerce Commission. 1t Is
Mr. McAdoo's belief that few ship
pers will desire to pay such heavy
penalty and that a general speeding
up of handling of cars by shippers
will result. before the new order
becomes effective. The present de-
murrage charge is 50 day.
Washington, Jan. Legislation
asked by President Wilson to-day
to perfect government control of
railroads. started on it's way in Con-
gress under consideration by the In
terstate Commerce Committee OF
both houses.
Operations of the roads with the
single purpose of relieving the
freight congestion, particularly in
the east, was continued by the gov
ernment agencies. Indications are
that passenger traffic, reduced one
fifth on eastern roads by orders Is
sued yesterday, will be further cur
tailed within a week or two.
Railroad presidents were asked to
detail the precise purposes for
which funds will be needed to meet
maturing securities not already pro-
vided for, to pay for Improvements,
betterments and construction work
already contracted for and partially
finished. Roads were requested also
to show what portion of improve
ments already started can be
stopped now without detriment.
Another item sought by Commits
sioner Daniels is an approximate
estimate of capital necessary to pro-
vide for new construction work, i'm
provemen and betterments, includ-
ing additional terminals and new
equipment. Presidents were asked
to specify what part of their finan-
cial requirements during this year
are not absolutely necessary for
protection of property or mainte-
nance of earnings.

Mrs. Shawkey, the Tiger Lady"
first met Shawkey in the summer of
1918. The Athletics won the cham
pionship of the world that fall, de-
feating the Giants in the big series.
Late in the season of 1914 they were
married.
When 1t was noised about that
Shawkey and the "Piger Lady" were
engaged, the big pitcher was asked
about 1t.
'tI's true" he answered. mo

Mrs. Shawkey remembers Bob's
interview. 'The happy dream stuff
is al loff," she announced in inti-
mating that a divorce suit was pos
sible. 1t was a hat and cloak
OF tigerskin that earned for Mrs.
Shawkey the sobriquet of Tiger
