The War Work Drive

The great war work drive, the first under the consolidation of the great auxiliary agencies, in fact all of them except the Red Cross, will begin tomorrow They the two FYs," the National Catholic War council-the Knights of Columbus, the Jewish Welfare board. the War Camp Community service, the American Library association and the Salvation Army.
 It originally designed to raise s17o,500,ooo in the drive, which will be pushed for week. It was afterward believed that this would be insuff- cient and the suggestion made by the heads of the organizations for a larger fund That sugges tion has the approval of the Washington officials. The part of the fund apportioned to Arizona s306O00 this county s6o00O. It is desired and believed that both the state and the county will go the top by fifty per cent One county, Pima, has voluntarily doubled its quota and two counties Yava pai and Santa Cruz, have increased theirs by fifty per cent.
 Handicapped as the United War Work council has been by the epidemic which has prevailed in many parts of the state, preventing meetings, good sanitation has been perfected for the drive and it may predicted that the amount asked for will be cheerfully and promptly raised.
 The united organizations before their unifi- cation had accomplished an incaculable amount of good for the sodiers-for their bodily comfort and their welfare-for the citizenship of the coun- try which alone will be worth much more in dollars and cents than the amounts which have been pended be expended This benefit will be brought back to every community in the land
 But there is much work to be done. The trying period, the period in which the services of these organizations will be the most needed, will be that in which demobization will be under way, in the time of relaxation. It is then that the boys who have been so carefully guarded will go back if they arc inclined to go back at all

When these supports have been with drawn there must be helpful service offered by the associations which have assisted in sustaining them.
 The good work in the past though by efficiently organized bodies, has unavoidably been overlapping not at cross purposes often overlapping work s The expenses have also been greater than it will be under consolidation.
 There has been no work more effective in tho winning of the war than that which has been &C., complished among the soldiers.

Who Can Wake Up Harrisburg
To Neglect of Swimming Needs9

1t is a blot on Harrisburg that
more good swimmers, men and
women, boys and girls, are not
turned out here, where the Susque-
hanna affords such splendid oppor-
tunities. Swimming is the ideal ex-
ercise for hot summer because it
does not overhead the blood, like
other sports. Far and beyond this,
however, is the vital necessity for
learning an art which may at any
moment serve to save human life.
Time was when sailors of the mer-
chant marine, and even of the Navy.
were indifferent to this urging.
Things have changed now. Every
man in the Navy must be proficient.
If women were given bathing facili-
ties here, an immediate result would
be less nervousness and pronounced
radiance in health. Women SWIM
mers of any note are perfect pictures
of health. With the chances here
to have a really fine bathing place
some one is to blame for not Civ

Uniontown, Pa, was put on the
map again to-day with the inter
national championship match auto
mobile race between Barney Old
field, of Los Angeles, and Arthur
Duray, of Rheims, France, and also
by the Independence Derby, classis
of 100 laps. Word last night re-
ported that great crowds of motor
enthusiasts are flocking to the speed
way, drawn partly by the fact that
Oldfield VOWS this will be. his last
race. The old master was not keen
for this hair-raising race. "I am not
going to risk my title" said he. "I
will compete in the big 100-lap
derby, but in no match race" Then
came conference. Before it was
over Ralph Milford, Louis Chevrolet
and a number of other well-known
drivers were called into it. They
insisted that Oldfield defend his
title, which he won at Uniontown
in a match race against Chevrolet
on May 16. Barney has more than
100 letters, which had poured into
the speedway officials from fans of
Western Pennsylvania, addressed to
him. AS he started to open them
he noticed that they were all ap-
peals to him to meet the Frenchman
and defend his title.
Oldield finally weakened and
agreed to the match. He stipulated
that the race should be for a side
oct of $4,000 each, and this money
was posted with the speedway man
agement. The association put up a
purse equal to the side bet, and $10,-
600 will be the reward which will go
to the lucky driver next Thursday.
This race should be sensational
and thrilling. Oldfeld is thoroughly
wrought up and says ne will make
Duray wish he had never challenged
him. His Golden Sunbeam will be
tuned to the second for this supreme
test of skill and daring, and Barney
says he will give the racing fans a
real run for their money.
Duray is happy that the match
was arranged. He will drive a pow
erful Frontenac car. Louis Chevro-
let, though he is a stranger to the
Uniontown course, is confident that
he can take Barney's measure.
Next in Importance scheduled is

saw the stunt In this Oldfeld will

Took Fl Innings For Cubs
to Win Game From Phillies

Marvellous pitching fine fielding
and plenty of hitting marked not
able ball game yesterday at Chicago,
where the Cubs beat the Phillies, 2-l.
in twenty-one innings. The rival
managers had agreed upon time
limit to permit the Phillies to catch
train for Pittsburgh. and in the
twenty-first inning the Cub leader
called upon his reserve forces and
this and a break in the luck lost the
game for the Phillies.
The National League extra inning
record was established in 1917, when
Brooklyn and Pittsburgh went
twenty-five innings. The Athletics
and Boston established the American n
League record in 1906, when they
PLAYED twenty-four innings.

Wonderful ball in the pinches, OF
which there were many. The Cubs
made nineteen hits off Watson and
the Phillies got thirteen off Tyler. The
latter would have shut the Phillies
out, save for the only error of the
game made by Hollocher in the
fourth. Both pitchers were remark
ably steady. Tyler gave only one
pass during the day. Watson issued

Barney OIdfield Drives Last Race
At Uniontown Today, Meeting Duray

| finishing his race after crashing into
| Chevrolet's scrap heap, in great suf-
fering. He is the most popular pilot
in western Pennsylvania.
Oldfield is the oldest man in the
country actively engaged in auto
mobile racing. He has been in the
business virtually ever since it be-
came a sport, and has made a rec
ord which is the envy OF all his
rivals. He has seen seventeen con-
secutive years of the automobile
racing game and has had all sorts
of peculiar and hair-raising expert
ences.
Barney has provided thrills for
millions of eXcitement-seekin peo-
| pie and has probably been watched
in action by more persons than any
other driver. He is the idol of
Young America" in whom he has
! always taken more than a mere pass
ing interest. His passion is to be-
come acquainted with every young
ster he sees and to shake hands with
him.
Barney is a busy man, but he has
on his list of regular correspondents
scores of youthful friends. who have
made his acquaintance at the various
tracks at which he has appeared, and
quaintance to end.
The "Old Master" is an artist at
the auto game, and, like most people
of rare accomplishments along
certain line, is inclined to be tenn
peramental. He has been termed
extremely hard to handle, and in his
career on the track has had many
different managers.
Oldfield is at present the holder
of all dirt track records up to twen-
ty-five miles. On the big board tracks
he has not been quite SO successful.
and his experiences at Uniontown
have been of such a nature that he
is determined to make a good show
ing to-day, and thus wipe out the
memory of several singing defeats
he has suffered there.
Barney was in the Liberty sweep
stakes at Uniontown on May 16, and
was unable to finish the course.
However, he did not depart with
out honor on that day, as he met
Louis Chevrolet, the famous French
man, in a match race which gave
him the title of speedway champion.
He has informed the Uniontown
management that he wants to drive
his last race on the track that gave
hi mhis title.
Oldfield plans to retire to his home
in Los Angeles and his lucrative tire
business. The automobile game has
been good to the veteran and he is
said to have amassed a fortune of at
least a quarter of million dollars
from his activities.

One of the melodramatic hard
luck stories the boys on the bench
are telling these days concerns
Larry Lajoie, who quit major base
ball without getting into worlds
series. A bonehead play by Bill
Hinchman was the preventing cause
and Larry in his day-dreams of past
glory will never fail to call up this
one. In 1908 the pennant hinged
on one day's>results in the American
League, the contenders being
Tigers, White Sox and Cleveland.
Larry, manager of the Indians,
could win the flag by beating st.
Louis twice. The score was even
in the ninth of the opening game
and the Indians got a runner to
third. big Bill' Hinchman prompt
ly laced a sizzling grounder through
the pitchers box. and as the ball
shot past the hurler it looked like
a certain hit to center field.
So Bill, seeing that the man on
third was racing home with what
would have been the winning run,
loafed on his way to first. But he
reckoned without Bobby Wallace,
then in the heydey of his career as
Brownie shortstop.
HOW wallace ever SOl lildI piii
remains a mystery to this day, but
he did. And with the same motion
that he grabbed it in short center
field he whipped it to first like rifle
bullet The ball arrived there one
Jump ahead of the slow-moVing
Hinchman. And Hinchman was out,
the side was retired and the run
that would have won the game was
lost.
The fact that baseball was classed
as a nonproductive occupation by a
Boston board in the case of Catcher
Henry, of the Braves, is not vital,
for President Wilson alone can settle
the ouestion. 1t is informing to
know, however, that John Park
Henry, one of the nations best back
stops earns $3.50 per month. This
shows that salaries have not de-
creased much in war times, for So,-
600 a year is about what they would
hand a high-class catcher in days of
peace.
The Pirates set a major league
mark for this season by combing the
Braves hurlers for twenty-oue hits
during a contest. Henry Groh, the
batting leader of his league, con-
Guided another hitting streak, this
being his third sustained stretch of
hitting. Groh, when stopped by
Bradlee Hogg, had smashed the pill
