Wake up. sleepy Harrisburg. Run

Greek temple of Dendorus. and that's
what thousands of baseball fans be-
lieve when they witness the post
season contests between Rosewood
and Reading of the Allison Hill
Lea que.
A trip to this spot when action
starts would be an eye-opener to
the great bulk of citizens. They have
no idea what is going on in serene
Johnharrisville. Here gather of an
evening as many as $500 persons,
men, women and children who sit
through the twilight diversion to
the vast benefit of their health and
harmony. Businessmen and profes
eional men of eminence hurry from
down town in motor car, city rat

this spot in time to hear the umpire

there is practically no disturbance,

The stalwart brothers, also ball
players, were quit overcome at the
unexpected tribute and so were many
of the spectators.

Big Leagues Have Not
Yet Arranged World Series

The National League, in special
session yesterday, went on record to
the effect that it will end Its season
not later than September 2, Labor
Day. 1t is agreeable to the senior
organization that world series be
arranged with its younger rival If
such games are played after Septem-
Der 2.
On the other hand, President John
son, speaking for the American
League. says his organization will
not play any games after September
l. the date set by Secretary of War
Baker as the final day the work-or-
fight order shall apply to ball play
ers.
If the representatives of both or
ganlzations remain firm In the stand
they have announced there seems
little prospect for a world series this
year. If, however, after discussing
the situation in all it's angles, one
side backs down, a series may be
arranged.
From present Indications, however,
one league must recede absolutely
from Its present position. Either the
National must acquiesce in the Ameri-
cans plan to start the series on Au-
gust 20 or the latter agree to formers
proposition to play it after Septem-
Der 2.
Ban johnson, on starting for Cleve-
land last evening. with the vote Of
six American League magnates in his
pocket gave the distinct impression
that he would hold out for closing
the championship season on about
August 20, and then play a world s
series within the eleven days remain
ing before the first of the month.
"I shall obey Secretary Bakers
orders to the letter." President John
son said. II personally will not be
a party to a baseball game played
after September l. 1 think the club
owners of the American League will
unanimously agree with my views
after the situation is thoroughly dis
cussed in Cleveland tomorrow. The
government gave us our orders in
declaring baseball non-e essential; we
are duty bound to follow them out"

PREPARING FOR
WAR HISTORY
Cumberland Committee of
Public Safety Will Have
Data Prepared

Carlisle, Pa, Aug. 3.-In order
that the accomplishments of Cum
herland county in the present war
may be adequately portrayed, ar
langements have been made by the
Cumberland county branch of the
Pennsylvania Council of National
Defense and Committee of Public
Safety to have a historical division
prepare data covering services at
home and in the field.
Prof. Leon c. Prince, head of
the Department of History at Dick
inson College, and widely known for
his contributions to contemporary
literature5 has accepted the post of
historian. Figures recently compiled
show that about 1880 men, or eight
per cent. of the entire voting popu-
lation one year ago, are in service.
In addition, the Cumberland coun-
ty Committee of Public Safety was
formed on March 26. 1917, and was
one of the first in the country Some
of the plans evolved here, notably
the Home Defense Police system,
have been widely adopted by other
towns.

Harrisburg had nothing on Ian
caster this season in the matter of
enthusiasm for amateur baseball. Re-
ports from there to-day say that the
Olympics of the McClain League,
having captured the gonfalon in their
circuit, are now in line as antago-
nists for the city juvenile series. The
McClain League champs will meet
the Actives, of the Eighth Ward
League for the city championship on
Monday afternoon in the first game
of a series of five. The winner of this
series will then be challenged by the
victor in the Seventh Ward League
for a series to determine the title
holder.
Tonight the Owls and Elks, of the
McClain League, will battle out the
final game of the season to determine
the holder of second honors in the
older circuit.
Members of the Chicago Ameri-
cans, the worlds baseball champions,
yesterday received the first letter of
invitation to Join the navy" Ensign
w. /. Denny, in charge of recruiting
at the Great Lakes naval training
station, said that similar letters
would be sent to all major league
players.
The directors of the Shipyards
League of the New York district, at
meeting last night voted to allow
but two big league players on each
of the local league teams in each of
the games scheduled hereafter. Ed
ward Reulbach, president of the
Shipyards League, for this district,
presided. The teams have games
scheduled for each Saturday and
Sunday during the baseball season.
Chick Evans, the demon golf ex-
pert, is strong for the short-shot guy.
Says he:
"The short shots in golf are the
really fine part of the game. Ordi-
narily in the short game you do not
go much in the air, but rather you
play the pitch -in-run style, and that
calls for careful judging of the roll
of the ball. The short shot is any shot
from 100 yards to the putt. But 1t
doesn't include the putt. Among short
shots / would class the niblick shot
in bunker, or a shot off the ground
near high-mounted and terraced
edgings of the green's. In playing the
short shot l believe that the back
stroke should determine the distance
the ball is to go.
The value of the short game is en-
phasized by the fact that a golfer can
miss his second shot and still be in
the running if he can play the short
game.

Star Pitchers to Meet in
Industrial League Battle
INDU STRIAL LEAGUE
Last Evenings Results
Belmont, /; Evangelical, l.
Mondays Schedule
Evangelical VS.. Appleby

big crowd of fans saw some of
the finest gilt-edged pitching ever
ogled on Harrisburg diamond when
Belmont and Evangelical last even
ing played an eightinning tie game
which was called on account of dark
ness. Every one who witnessed this
splendid contest is arguing to-day
-over the merits of the two twirlers,
Brown and Appler. The latter did
not allow a pass while Brown gave
three. On the other hand, Brown
famed 10 men and Appler 8, and
Brown allowed but 2 hits against
four for Appler. 1t was the fastest
battle seen in this league and as
the games are rapidly acquiring more
and more class the baseball public is
beginning to take notice, crowding
plentifully to the West End grounds
where these battles take place. The
score:
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-08-03

on Allison Hill proves conclusively
that baseball is not only a national
permanent institution but that 1t has
such peculiar fascination that if
must eventually he taken up wher-
ever there are intelligent athletes.
The Hill spectators are becoming
highly educated on the fine points
of che game. even the rollicking en-
thusiastic girls being able to keep
box scores. The whole scene is de-
cidely human. For instance, one
prominent figure, always hunched
down on the ground at the same spot
on the sidelines is Tim Euker, Sr,
father of the two Euker stars. Tim
and Bill. Pop" Euker much re-
sembles Mr.. Pickwick. of Dickens
fame, with a little dash of Hoover.
He is not openly emotional but when
son Tim gets up with the bases full
and two men out Pop Euker may be
heard to breathe hoarsely. "a quarter
dollar for a hit, Tim"
The observation of the spectators
would amaze some. Yesterday Har-
ris of Rosewood came to the plate at
critical moment with bat fiatten-
ed somewhat Instantly the cry
arose Make him change his bat"
Umpire AL Baxter, who besides lend
lub VI lOCdl COtOH " llC P1Sl-
time is very capable arbitrator, lost
no time Investigating. One fell grin
and away went the fiat bat and all
hands breathed easier.
Both teams have their rank par
tisans and these do not hesitate to
advertise themselves. Big Don
Wertz, who lives near by, has a host
of admirers and they call to him
like a mother cozening her darling
babe: Don't let him hit it, Dom"
Let him hit it, Don" You can do
it, old boy" If some fan makes a
blunder on his roofing the opposi-
tion comes back with caustic shrill:
How did he get that way!'
There is no secret about this attrac-
tion. Reading and Rosewood play
real ball and the rivalry is genuine.
for no one is paid. The fans fully
appreciate that all of these skillful
play yers work. perhaps right up to
six o'clock. 1t is then a case of rush
ing to the field without any supper
and playing at top-speed for an hour
or more. The spectators appreciate
this uncommon sacrifice and idolize
the lads who provide such splendid
diversion on the long, lovely summer
evenings.
There will come a time when Har-
risburg, like Cleveland, will furnish
sixty or seventy ball fields for the
amateurs, because the whole world
is learning that baseball offers the
supreme training for body and brain.
Tuesday night next should bring
5000 at least for it is likely to be a
historic game. BY winning it swings
the pennant. If Reading conquers
it means a tie and a deciding battle
later on.
