Cleveland Has Chance;
Speaker Carries On

BY winning in Philadelphia
yesterday, at the same time that
the Red Sox were losing to De-
troit at Boston, Lee Fohfs Cleve-
land Indians gained one full game
and are now 1-2 games back of
first place. Hence it is that Cleve-
land figures it still has a good
chance of beating out the Red
SoX.
The high spot in the third game
between the Athletics and Cleve-
land, which the latter won, to
6, was a warlike scene created by
Tristan Speaker, the Indians
great outfielder, in the fifth
frame. The direct cause of Speak
er's bellicose break was a deci-
sion on him at the plate when
Umpire Connolly declared him
out. Iris lost all control of his
better self, heaping a torrent of
abuse on the veteran arbitrator,
and had it not been for players
undoubtedly would have assault
ed him. For nearly ten minutes
Speaker stormed and threatened
around the plate, exhausting his
own anger and the patience of the
fans, and he finally disappeared.
The big jaw and near scrap
were occasioned by an innocent
little play in which every one
save Speaker united in declaring
was absolutely right. With the
sacks loaded in the fifth and two
down. Johnston raped a stiff
hopper at George Burns. The lat
ter made a great stop. but his
throw to Pitcher Johnson, cover
ing the bag, was too late to re-
tire the batter. Chapman scored
on the play, and Speaker on sec
ond made a bold dash for the
plate. Roy Johnson saw Iris
speeding for home and whipped
the ball to McAvoy, who had the
sphere before Speaker started his
: slide. There was no doubt that
he was out The great outfielder
jumped to his feet and began
ranting like wild bull, with
players quickly interposing to
prevent him from attacking Con-
molly.

The outstanding features of the
DAVIS play was q remarkable test
of endurance between Seiichiro
Kashio, the japanese. and G. A
L. Dionne. of New York. These
two exponents of the base line
game played for four hours and
twenty minutes, and when DARK
mess terminated the unfinished
contest Kashio was leading at
6-1. 10, 6-3, and the fourth set
standing at two games all. This
is undoubtedly a record in tour
nament tennis, none of the Oldest
followers of the game being able
to recall any match exceeding III
time this class.
The two players seldom moved
into the service line, and neither
used much speed or cut in serv-
ice or turn, playing cautiously
and with placements the rallies
were interminable and the Win
ner of the point usually proflted
by his opponents net or out. The
stroke between points frequently
ran over 100, the highest that
was counted being 12S. and the
slow ong-drawn-out exchanges
more than once passed beyond the
minute mark by actual timing.
At the end of the third set the
players took the customary ten
minute rest, but the umpires had
been changed before that point
was reached, the heat and the
strain OF watching the ball hav-
ing made the first occupant OF
the chair too dizzy to proceed.
Kashio and Dionne will continue
their match to-day.

FOR RED CROSS
Nations Stars to Popularize
Sport by Touring Country
and Collecting Funds

History in days to come will tell
how the great war caused mighty
revival of trapshooting and marks
manship practice in general. The
fact that the American Red Cross
benefits is no side issue. either. 1t
means that the. sport is highly use
full. and it is fitting that the Wash
ington government should jump in
and lend a hand. The time was in
the old frontier days when every
man, woman and childin this country
knew how to handle a gun. Tom
Marshall, Peter B. Carney and a host
of other enthusiasts have been writ
ing their fingers off to boost this
wholesome pastime and their efforts
are materializing on a vast scale.
They want to see the period when
the term ''marksman" is synono-
nous with "Yank" and the most re-
cent activity stirred up is to tour the
country with five of the leading pro-
fessional trapshooters of the West
and five from the East. There is no
doubt that an exhibition of this sort
would draw in Harrisburg where
there are regiments of clever shots.
Hugh Tosten, the San Francisco
professional trapshot, has offered his
suggestion.
1t isn't a new one, as it has been
suggested to several of the ammu-
milton companies that they help the
Red Cross in this way, but coming
from Posten it shows that the trap

Such a tour no doubt would re-
suit in many thousands of dollars be-
ing raised for the Red Cross as well
as to increase the interest in trap
shooting and be instrumental in in
structing the public in the proper
use of the gun and just what trap
shooting means to the United States.
Trapshooting has been doing its
best-not it's bit-for the American
Red Cross ever since America got
into the war. They have donated
ambulances, the gun clubs of the
country stage benefit shoots from
time to time and in the Grand
American Handicap the Red Cross
events netted several thousand dol
lars. One of the Red Cross events
in this tournament was a competi-
ton between the East ana the west
As the Western trapshooting
cracks have never invaded the East
and the Fasteners have done very
little shooting in the West. such a
tour as suggested by .Posten could
not do anything but attract large au-
diences.
A Western team might be made
up of Posten, E. L. Mitchell, of Los
Angeles; Lester Reid, of Seattle:

edge, however, which Hollacher
shows on both rivals is in his speed,
which adds many points to his value
as an all round player. He is not
only fast but is extremely spry, a
quick starter and a shifty runner.
1t is not quite clear yet whether
Secretary Bakers decision that the
worlds series may be played and that
the players of the two teams who are
in the immediate draft for the army
are to be excused or whether the eX-
cuse extends only to those affected by
the work and fight order. Scott is in
the draft and has been expecting a
call at any moment. Hollacher is in
and expects to be called early in
September. Chapman has enlisted
and is awaiting orders. 1t makes dop-
ing extra hazardous, as the calling
of any, one of these players would
practically wreck the infield defense
of his team.
Tomorrow we will study the third
basemen-and then get to the catch
ers and pitchers. where the points of
difference are even more vital.

BIG LEAGUERS
CARRIED ON
Union Station Manager Tells
Sad Tale of Steeltoe Stars,
Ramsey and Phillips

Here ~ the uncensored account of
wild, weird baseball trip, as sent in
by the manager of the Union Station
team. who evidently speaks from
the heart out" Saye he:
The Union Station, with Phillips
and Ramsey, of Steelton, twirlinS

the game on a platter to the Lycom-
ing Foundry and Machine team of
having defeated Steelton, As, recent
ly. Miller's drive to center for n
single took q bad bound as Euker
was set for it and rolled to the fence
for trip around the bases.
They scored two again in the
fifth on base fielding while the only
technical run they earned was in the
seventh when. with two down, Eu-
ker, Snyder and killinger played the
triple act on who was to take the
ball. This cost a run and Killinger's s
throw past third, when the runner
, attempted to steal gave them the
fifth run of the easiest game that was
ever handed them.
Union Station scored in the fourth
on a single and double, again in The
sixth on n single and sacrifice fly,
while in the ninth two more, scored
on two singles. an out and T. Euker's
clean steal cf home while the pitcher
was sleeping in the box. The uni
pire waved him safe, then about five
seconds after he called the batter
out, claiming the throw to get Eu-
ker was the third strike. This was
very helpful &c Williamsport. with the
tieing run on third.
The following day on a very bad
field the team defeated the strong
Shamokin champions, 6-2. this be-
ing the third defeat they tasted in
two years. Ramsey just toyed with
them and this carelessness cost two
runs.
1t was a bitter dose for the Spring
field team TO swallow and had the
team backed Phillips like they back
ed Ramsey and like they are capable
of doing. l think the proud conquer
ors of Cockill's Steelton team would
have been handed a drubbing, so
all in all we consider it a success
full trip.
The team pulled two fast double
plays at Wllliamsport with G. Kill
linger on the starting end of both,
while he also took a fast hopper III
deep right and got his man at first.

and fierce bombardment, he led his
From q military viewpoint. this was

Marching Through Georgia" be-
came the popular song of the day.
The Union army moved in two col
umns. Two corps of the Army of the
Tennessee, under Howard, comprised
one column, and the other consisted
OF two corps of the Army of the Cum
berland. under Slocum. The northern
troops were forced to live on the coun-
try, and the country along the line
of march, following the Georgia Cen
trail railway. was especially called up
on to furnish provisions for the
troops.
The distance from Atlanta Il Sa-
vannah Is 2S0 miles. Sherman's army
covered the distance, with very lit
tie loss, in twenty-three days OF act
ua marching. On December 18th
Fort McAllister was captured by a
FEDERAL contingent under Hazon, and
on the goth the Confederates e~vacuat-
ed Savannah, and Sherman's army
entered the city.
In his plans for a march to the
sea" Gen. Sherman was at first OPP
posed by Grant inc the Washington
administration. and only after ad-
yancing many arguments In favor of
h scheme was he given reluctant
consent. Fearing that the order
might be countermanded before he
could put his army in notion fear
that was well founded-he cut the
telegraph lines. Seventy thousand
men o part in the amous march.
After the capture Of Savannah,
Sherman remained in thai city for
about a month, and then began to
Owe ~northward to support Grant.
Gen. Johnston unsuccessfully opposed
him, and when the news of the sur
render of Lee reached him. the Con-
federate leader sent to Sherman to
obtain his terms of surrender. Sher-
man granted him the same terms that
Grant gave Lee, but the secretary of
war considered these too lenient, and
for a time the relations between
Sherman and the war department
were strained. Sherman continued in
the army until 1884 and died In New
York In 1891. He persfstently refused
all political prefrement. Although
practically destroyed, Atlanta recu-
perated more rapidly than any other
city In the South.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Statisticians announce that during the war some 90 100000 men
have been killed, wounded or gassed, and over $lOo,Ooo 100000 of
- nxRsnt This is the cost to date, they say, without reckoning
the FXgEs1MsrH non-eombatanfs and in property destroyed.
The price which the world pays for peace today is appalling, e
this great tragedy in which it has poured out blood and money as
never before in all the career of mankind.
What has the world bought9
Peace, by the grace of God; an end of buteherng the selected
best young men on earth.
Dynasties have been wiped out or have disintegrated. The Ro-
manofs, the Hohenzollerns, the Hapsburgs are put down, with their
arrogance, privileges and oppression. Tohse monarchial idiots by
divine right of Bulgaria and Greece have disappeared. Thrones and
their heirs have fallen. All over the earth peoples re rising to enjoy
a grip IN justice and liberty. New foundation stones have been
mined, chiseled and laid for civilization.
But all these things, glorious and progressive as they are, are not
enough for the price this world has paid for peace. Beside enabling
us to establish the fact that the right is might and shall prevail, the
Almighty has given the world opportunity to inaugurate the common
brotherhood of man.
The right, as it affects all, must prevail. It must prevail in quar-
tiers of this world that have known it not. 1t must level greed and
privilege and caste as it has leveled thrones and dynastes. In it are
justice, liberty and equality, and before mankind is the God given
opportunity to make it the spirit that moves all men.
That is the great prize that has been paid for with the lives of the
millions of the dead and the millions of mnoey of the living.
Here, for the work of mems brains and hands is mans opportun
ity to make all men equal. equal in the affairs of peace IS equal in the
bloody business of war. Let us write into the world history wherein
mems deeds of hate, greed and injustice "tread upon one another =
feet, so fast they follow. - an epoch of brotherly love in which the
first concern is for those who have suffered most.
