Psst! Black Cats to
Claw Kiwanis Club

The Kiwanis team, champions of
the Industrial League, have accept
ed a challenge from the Black Cats,
champions of the Tank Corps at
Camp Colt, and will meet in the
first of series of three games at
the West End grounds. Thursday,
September 5, The entire proceeds of
the game will be turned over to the
Red Cross. A series of games has
been arranged by the two teams.
The second will be held September
IL, at Gettysburg, and the third, Sep
tember 10. at Harrisburg.
Charles e. Reese is manager of
the Kiwanis team and Lieutenant
Omar Harris manages the Black
Cats. Lieutenant Harris. incidental
ly, is known in the athletic world as
"the father of army baseball" He
built the first ball park in the Philip
pines, starting with $40. He finally
interested the Standard Oil Company
and other firms and the result is a
fine baseball park and a. league,
away down in the Philippines. Lieu
tenant Harris secured the interest
of President Roosevelt and the out
come was the appropriation of
money for Baseball uniforms and
supplies for all men in the Army.

Magnates Have Agreed
Upon Worlds Series

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 15.-Chicago
baseball fans are not to be depriV-
ed of seeing a worlds series after
September 2, if the Cubs succeed
in winning the National League
pennant, according to Secretary
Walter Craighead, who said to-day
that the magnates of both major
organizations have agreed to play
a series after that date. He spoke
assuringly of the worlds series
and added that there should be no
doubt that the leagues as well as
the National Commission are max
ing plans to play the games. He
does not anticipate any inter
ference from the government be-
cause the club owners are to com
ply with the edict laid down by
Secretary Baker.
II am confident there will be a
worlds series. The club owners
agreed at their meeting that one
is to be played. Aside from that
l can say no more, because the
Cubs have not yet clinched the
pennant and it probably would be
unwise for me to discuss a series
at this time. I'll admit have
been giving it serious thought and
have mapped out in my mind what
the Chicago club will do as soon
as the Cubs win the champion

Rain Stopped Game at

Steel League Standing

Steelton can afford to lose a couple
games and still win the pennant, and

map as a baseball town. Sparrows

Jeff Tesreau last week demonstrates
that Cockill will have job on his
hands. Tesreau worked his arm off
trying to beat Roth, but one bad in
ming spilled the beans. Roth will
likely oppose Steelton.
Wilmington is now chief contender
with the Cottage Hill speedsters. and
Bethlehem has practically admitted
her inability to cop the flag. The
play-off of a protested game between
Lebanon and Wilmington on August
"a may make a difference in the
standing of some clubs, but not of
Steelton. The game to be played off
results from a protest made by Leb-
anon against Wilmington in the first
game of the season. Lebanon was
defeated and after the game alleged
that most of the players in the Will
mington lineup were not eligible.
The matter was taken to the league
officials who after investigating found
the charges true and Immediately
ordered the game replayed. Accord
ing to the rules of the league, the
game will have to be played with
players who were eligible at the time
of the opening of the season.
1t was a>real tragedy over at Will
Transport yesterday when the clouds
burst and prevented Steelton from
appearing before the hungry public
which was prepared to open its heart
to the visitors. seeing that Manager
Cockill had helped bring the Tri-
State pennant to Williamsport. But
when Cockill announced that they
would stay over and play to-day the
town opened the throttle with one
universal yell. The opponents are
workers in the Lycoming foundry,
and a number of them played with
the old Tri-State, among them Hunt

CUBS RELY ON
THREE PITCHERS
Field Marshal Mitchell. and
Killifer Preparing For
World Series

Every one interested in baseball Is
speculating on whether the post-sea-
son series this year will be the usual
great drawing card. If Chicago and
Boston are the contestants 1t is pretty
certain that the series will draw well,
especially in Chicago. where the fans
are keen for the annual classic event.
Il is certain, however, that while the
interest is national the attendance
will have to be furnished by the cities
engaged in the series, as the usual
great foreign attendance will be eX-
ceedingly limited this year owing to
war conditions of travei and general
expense.
Field Marshal Fred Mitchell, of the
Cubs, will be the biggest man in the
game if he can wallop the Red SoX
with his pitching staff, for at the
present moment he has but three high
class men in prime condition, Jim
Vaughn. Phil Douglass and Lefty
Tyler. When these three are right.
as they commonly are these days, they
form a hurling triumvirate of eXcep-
.ional class and at@ainments. When
Douglas is in the mood he can pitch
with the ranking right-handers of his
=
son with none of them. Vaughn Is
the leading southpaw of the year, so
far as the National League is con-
cerned, and Tyler. though fallen away
somewhat from his superlative form
Of 1914, is still a star of the first
magnitude.
If Tyler and Vaughn are both on
edge for the series Mitchell will have
an asset beyond price in this pair OF
southpaws. The RedsoX are,not espe-
cially partial to good left-handed
pitching, and can be beaten by
southpaw when a right handler would
be in momentary dtnger of losing
his life. Herb" Thormahlen and
Slim Love were both consistent
winners against them last spsing. and
other left-handers of the first flight
nave been equally effective. against
them.
Three pitchers of the Douglas
Vaughn-Tyler type are all any club
needs in a worlds series, providing
all three are on edge, and the fact
that Fred Mitchell is their manager
should be guarantee enough that the
Cub big Three" will be thoroughly
primed when they engage the RedsoN
or any other American League club
that may qualify for the series. Nit
chell is a specialist in that line and,
with one possible exception, can do
more with a pitching staff than any
other leader in the National League.
He proved that during his connection
with the Boston Braves and his hand
ling of the Chicago heaving corps
has but added to his reputation.

Uniontown Speedway to Buy

Golden Submarine, Barney Oldhelds s
famous racing car. is to go on the
auction block, according to reports
received by the Uniontown speedway
management and already the Fayette
county association is planning to
make desperate efforts to purchase
the famous Barney's equally famous
racing machine. If the Speedway As
sociation is successful in making the
purchase, the car will be campaigned
on every speedway in the country
under the Uniontown Speedway AS
sociation's colors.
The only thing to mar the Autumn

Uniontown on July is and is retiring
from the automobile racing game
after building up the greatest repu-
tation in the history of the automo-

TENNIS STARS BEAT
, JAPANESE WONDER AT BOSTON

A great crowd of tennis enthusi-
asts saw the famous veterans, Fred

yesterday in five hard sets at Bos-
ton in the national doubles tourna-
ment from the japanese champion,
Kumagee and his schoolboy part
ner, Harold Taylor. The score, 6-3,
Ga, As, ga, and Alexander and
Wright moved into the semifinals.
1tchi, as the American players call
the clever Nipponese, gave one of
his greatest exhibitions. Taylor was
outclassed by the others and Kuma-
gae realized that it was up to him.
He was by long odds the fastest man
on the court and critics here do not
see how he can be stopped in the
national singles championship.
Even when Taylor made many IN
excusable double faults the Jap was

League.
The remarkable chapter of the
! contest was confined to one inning,
when the Anderson players made six
hits-three triples, double and two
singles-without scoring a single
run. This is how it was done:
Ireland, the first man up, hit a
One out 10 runs. Wisdell landed
for another three-bagger; he died at
the plate as well. Shumway also
whacked the ball for three bases and
played safe on third.
The next man up, Derby, buntsd
down the third base line, but the
third baseman thought it was foul
| and didn't rush to get it. When it
finally percolated through his cram
ium that the ball was fair Derby
was on second. Shumway was still
hanging on to third. Faats, the next
batter, got single on a ball bunted
down the third base line.
Fear came to bat and hit the ball
on the nose for liner between first
and second, which hit Faats, run
ming from first to second. This made
three out, but Fear was credited
with a single.

Wright or Alexander to handle and
they were unable to force their way
to the net and take advantage on the
fast exchange. Kumagae covered
most of the court for his team. Tay-
