FEAR VINCOME,
Philadelphia Aggregation Is
Made Up of Speedy Boys;
New Men Get Trial

Those Independent "Cagers" are a
little worried over Saturday nights
contest. Vineome is scheduled for the
first of a series of games with the
locals. Fans know what the Quaker
aggregation is capable of doing. Those
who have been watching the work
of Vincome each season are of the
opinion that 1t is the best team of
tossers in Philadelphia.
To date Vincome has been winning
in games away from home. playing
teams in the coal regions and league
contests. Outside of the Eastern
teams there are, few showing any
thing special in the way of cage work
Harrisburg has had the >best that
could be had and with Vincome
another rare attraction is promised.
New Players Practice
The local five will in all proba-
bility be the same as played Tues
day night against York. Ike Nc
Cord will be in the game as we'll as
the Ford boys, Sourbier and McCon-
nell. Manager n. G. Ford has been
trying out several new players in or
der to have good men for emergency
work, and they may be given
chance to show their speed in the
game, with ,yincome: Play viii start
at SIS. and be followed with the
usual dance. It will be the last holi-
day program as the college boys will

LANNIN MAY Be
HEAD OF 1NTS'
Owner of Providence Club
Said to Be Slated For
Barrow'S Job

New York, Jan. S.-Joseph Lannin,
former owner of the Boston Ameri-
cans and majority stockholders in
the Providence club, is likely to be
named president of the International
League t. succeed Edward Grant
Harrow, resigned. This became known
here when, from one of the league s
clubowners. 1t was learned that the
lnts will positively open the 1918 sea-
son. The plans for a schedule, read
justment, of tho circcit and other
details will be completed at a meet
ing of the league in this city Febru-
airy -.
No Cut in Circuit
The Internationals will not cut
down to siX-club circuit. They will
go along at the old scale even should
1t become necessary to take in an
other city. Sammy Lichtenheim,
owner of the Montreal club. has been
wavering and may quit, but even this
is doubtful. Sammy, should the league
decide to continue, would hardly run
the risk of losing his territorial
rights.
Lannin, the man who is mentioned
as the next president of the league,
was one of those in favor of throw
ing up the sponge. 1t is said, how
ever, that he has been Won around,
and as the chief executive will stick
up for the desires of his clubowners.
Pat Powers. wha was also men
toned for the presidency. is said to
have refused the position. Pat was
thrown out for Barrow when in his
prime and doesn't like the idea of
playing second fiddle now. Besides,
the salary is said to be unsatisfactory
to him.

Still After Roger Hornsby;
Cubs to Make Another Try

Chicago, Jan. 31.-The Chicago
National League Club is going to
make one more effort to obtain
Roger Hornsby, the st. Louis short
stop, for whom President Hickey is
said to have refused $4,000 re-
Gently. President Weeghman, of the
Chicago Club. has arranged a confer
ence at Cincinnati next Monday
previous to the national commission
meeting, when he and Manager
Mitchell will endeavor to persuade
Hickey and Manager Hendricks, of
st. Louis, either to sell or trade
their star.
Weeghman and Mitchell arrived
in Chicago yesterday from st. Louis,
where they failed in their attempt
to obtain Hornsby. Hendricks was
on the train with them.
while it doesn't seem possible to
me that a trade can be made, still
we have consented to the confer
ence," said Hendricks, land we will
go over the entire matter"
"I don't know what will happen,
but we are hopeful" said Weegh-
man.

PENN MAY STAGE
BIG TRACKMEET
Cancel Indoor Games; Dates
to Be Fixed at March
Meeting

New York, Jan. 3.-The intercol-
legiate track and field championship
games of the 1. G. A. A. A. A. will be
held on Friday and Saturday, May 81
and June 1, unless there Is a consti-
tutional amendment changing the
date, and there will be no indoor in
tercoilegiate meet this year. This
was the official announcement made
to-day by Romeyn Berry. of the Grad
uate Advisory Committee. 1t should
set at rest all rumors as to change
Oh GATE or the annual outdoor games
and as to the probability of the hold
ing of the indoor games.
1T is probable" said Mr.. Berry,
that the games will be held on
Franklin Field, Philadelphia. No
other member of the association is in
position to be the host for the
games, and Pennsylvania has already
expressed a willingness to act in that
capacity. There Is no doubt that
! Pennsylvania will lay formal invi-
tation before the annual convention
and that 1t will be accepted"
May Change Date
Mr.. Berry explained that unless the
annual convention of the association
which will be held on March adopts
an amendment providing for chang
ing the date of the outdoor games
they will be held at the usual time
winch is the Saturday following the
last Friday of May. The preliminary
competitions are always held on the
AFTERNOON of the day preceding.
Berry said that the sentiment
or the members of the association was
strongly in favor of holding the out
door meet, sand against n continuation
OF the indoor competitions at this
time. In view of the opinion of the
majority that the indoor meet should
be eliminated. the association will
not issue entry blanks, and it will
make the request of it's members not
to send entries for that meet. This
is the only means whereby it is pos
slble to cancel the games without
holding general convention of the
association and passing an amend
ment to the constitution.
while 1t cannot be expected that
the meet will be as representative as
iE the past, practically all the col
leges of the association will have
teams of some sort or another pres
ent," Mr.. Berry said.

LOCAL SHOOTER
MAKES RECORD
J. G. Martin Hangs Up Good
Average at Traps; Other
Local Shots

Harrisburg trapshooters were promi-
inent last year in high amateur rec
ords. ]. G. Martin. winner of many
Gus long-run records, had an average
of .9423. He shot at 1920 targets
and broke 2.S46. He missed but two
interstate events during the season.
Martin was former president of the
Harrisburg Sportsmen's Association.
Fred A. Godcharles, who shoots un-
der Harrisburg and Milton colors,
shot at 3,670 targets and broke 1856.
His average was .9144.
Another Harrisburg shooter we'll up
in the list is e. w. Shank. a we'll
known auto dealer, who recently was
big winner in live bird contests. He
shot at 2,770 targets and broke 2,349.
His average was $3.50.
Heer Big Winner
A former. professional trapshooter,

Heer won the official high average
in 1910 and again in 1913. In 1910
his average was 1915 and in 1913 it
was $3.50. Trapshooting rules provide
that man who is a professional and
desires to again become an amateur
must retire from competition for
three years, that is provided that his
average was better than 80 per cent.
Heer retired from competition after
the 1913 season and returned in 1917
as an amateur and won the highest
average.
Charles II. Newcomb, of Philadel-
phia, and winner of many cham
pionships, leads the marksmen of this
section. Newcomb fired at 1896 clays
of which he broke 2,S11 for percent
age of .9649. Fred Plum, of Atlantic
City. finished with a percentage of
1921, having cracked 4,782 out of

with percentage of 1907. He shot
at $50 clays and broke 121. At sim
giles Platt earned a .9522 percentage,
breaking 5000 out of his 1870 lifeless
skimmers.
The professional high man is Les
ter German, of Aberdeen, Nd, who
some twenty-odd years ago pitched
the Memphis Southern League team
to champions, and afterwards pitched
for the New York Nationals before
entering the trapshooting game as a
professional. German had a better
average than Heer, earning a 1854
mark. German fired at 6,2S5 clays
and downed 6,137.

&XY/ELLYC
j wv CORNER

Local athletes identified with the
Pennsylvania Railroad athletic asso-
Citations, with the exception of the
Motive Power department, have been
slow in getting down to indoor
sports. At the big gymnasium in
North Seventh street there is daily
activity that indicates good results
in the big system contests. For real
hustlers you must hand 1t to the Mo-
tive Power aggregation.
Thus far Harrisburg athletes and
contestants are leading in the vari-
GUS elimination contests for the
championship of the Pennsylvania
Railroad system. The Enola billiard
stars have set pace that will be
hard to equal. 1t looks very much
like another series of cups coming
this way In March.
There is much concern as to what
the Government control will do to
athletics in Pennsylvania Railroad
circles. Officials here are of the be-
lief that there will be no interrupt
ton. Many of last seasons stars
are out doing their bit for Uncle
Sam, but those at home are capable
of making good and will keep going.
The promoter who will give Har-
risburg baseball next season is still
III hiding. Perhaps he is waiting
for n thaw and will get busy later.
Just now Harrisburg is not holding
q very prominent place in winter

baseball. Some one in Hagerstown
few weeks ago mentioned this city
as Blue Ridge probability. Better
than no baseball.
Coach Wallower of the Central
High team is working his squad over
time. He is going to have some
varsity team. This is his first year,
thing he has tackled in the way of
sports.
Judging by the large increase IN
the number of bowlers there ought to
hand grenades for Uncle Sam later.
One bowling enthusiast said to-day,
You will find less sickness among
tile bowling fraternity than in any
other sport followers" 1t must be ad-
mitted that bowling is good exer-
else. One thing is certain, bowlers
always sleep well. That counts.
With the cost of baseball soaring
1t will be necessary to have the jumps
indulge in a little conservation next
season. The boy who gets the ball
that was hit over the fence will have
little trouble in getting into game
il he brings the ball back.
There is to be new name for
speed ball. The pitcher who has the
strong arm will throw camoufage
balls. So fast they cannot be seen
by the batter.

REVEILLE
It's dawn on a winter morning.
Dawn with streak of gray;
With me asleep in the blankets,
Dreaming my time away;
Struggled under the white top
Just as the gray mist clears,
Dreaming of other mornings
Back through thousand years.
And then with a call that echoes
Drear as the funeral drum,
Cutting my heart to ribbons
The Reveille says Come!
It's dawn on a winter morning,
With red streak through the trees.
With me asleep in the blankets,
Dreaming of peace and ease;
Dreaming of days behind me,
Far from the khakied brave,
Far from stove unlighted
And a tent as cold as the grave;
And then with blare that tosses
tits woe to the winter skies,
Tearing my soul to pieces
The Reveille says Rise!
The guns of the Huns are one thing,
Part of a big days job
The big gas shells are another,
Bringing their thrill or throb;
Life in a dugouts nothing
To bring on a ringing cheer,
But give me the big shells crashing,
Give me the guns to hear
Give me the Huns worst answer,
Give me the charging drum
When out of the cold dawn's shadows
The ReVeille says "Come!'

LONOKE OFFICERS
 AFTER RUNAWAYS

Henry Dotson, aged 19. and Gene vieve Barnwell, aged 15, probably agree with the one who said "the path of true love never runs smooth'- they haven't yet had time to test their affection, and probably do not know whether it is just a passing fancy or the real thing. Be that as it may, Henry and Genevieve departed from Cabot on marriage bent Their rela- tives sought the aid of the officials of LOnoke to prevent the issuance of a license. and so the youthful lovers are believed to have come to Jefferson cunty. J. 2. Lee of Cabot called up Sheriff R. H. Williams yesterday af ternoon, told him the circumstances and Henry and his sweetheart had passed thru England. bound for Pine Bluff. Mir, Lee asked the sheriff to notify County Clerk Nichol not to is sue q license to Henry and Genevieve. and requested that the youngsters be taken into custody should they ap- pear. Up to the time the clerks of flee closed yesterday evening. Henry and his fiance had not appeared, nor had they been located in the city.
