Worlds Sculling Champ
Wounded on Battle Front; ;
in Service But Short Time

London, Jan. 22.-Ernest Barry,
the champion sculler of the world,
has been wounded in action on the
western front as the result of the
bursting of German shell.
Barry's career as a soldier has
been short one, for although he
"joined up" many months ago, he
was only recently sent to the front.
His last appearance on the river
was in November when he was out
with w. d. Kinnear. the Diam ,nd's
winner of 1910 and 1911 and the
Olympic champion of 1912. Barry
came into prominence first by de-
feating the Australian, George
Towns, for the English champion
ship on the Thames in October, 1908,
subsequently retaining his title by
beating William Albany (who has
made the supreme sacrifice of the
war;, and w. II. Fogwell, of Aus
tralia.
He met Dick Arnst for the worlds
championship on the Zambesi River
in August, 1910, but the New Zea-
lander proved successful. A few
years later Arnst was induced to
come to London for worlds cham
pionship match with Barry, and on
July 20, 1912. over the Putney- Mort
lake course, Barry triumphed over
the Colonial and restored the worlds

Making Plans for the
II Third Liberty Loan

The fact that the first pay
ment is due on the Third Liberty
Loan about April 22 indicates that
the campaign for this loan will start
some time in March. There is no
telling yet what the amount will be,
this depending a good deal on what
accrues from the war stamps and
baby bonds. 1t has already been de-
cided that the farmer will be in
cluded in this next campaign, every
husbandman being personally solicit
ted. For this purpose Donald Nc
Cormick has appointed the following
committee chairmen to handle the
four counties in this district: Will
liam Jennings, Harrisburg; George
F.. Lloyd, Cumberland County; P.
L. Duncan, Perry county; John
A. Kohler, Juniata. e. l.. McColg-
in, secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce was appointed secretary for

the terms of the loan are announced
the campaign will start immediate

Scranton. Jan. 22.-The optimis-
tic views given out a few days ago
by President ]. H. Farrell, in Whlch
he states 1t is possible that new
York State League teams Will De
able to answer the gun when the Of
fetal trigger is pulled up in Auburn
some time next May, are not pelns
shared by a majority of the men
whose money is tied up in the Vari-
Gus franchises and who dropped coin
copiously in the 1917 as well as In
the 1916 hunts.
Instead of taking for granted that
there is O chance of the league start
ing and the clubs at least breaking
even, not one of the league moguls
can be found who expresses himself
as ready to vote for reopening OF
the circuit until the war ends and
normal conditions, or a good imita-
ton of them. are restored.
Tough Shedding Ahead
All seem to vie in the opinion that
baseball will have tougher shedding
in 1918 than last year and, believ-
ing SO, cannot. see how Farrell flg-
ures it out that the league can hope
to avert financial disaster.
At least two of the most promi-
nent managers in the league seem
to think that the Farrell wheel is
done for SO far as the fiscal year is
concerned, the same two being Mike
O'Neill. former leader of the Syra-
cuse Stars, and John Calhoun, who
led the Barons to two champion
ship flags in the State League last
year.
1t is reported that Calhoun has
virtually made up his mind to stay
out of baseball this year and stick
to the very lucrative detective job
that he holds in Pittsburgh, as he
figures that the prospects for a good
year in the State League are about
as gloomy as he has ever known
them.
O'Neill sings his swan song from
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-01-22

obituary notices. He was reported
killed in action, and newspapers
telling of his loss reached him. The
error, evidently a double one, ap-
pears to have occurred when his
younger brother was wounded on
another sector in France and sent
to a base hospital in a critical con-
dition. But even he is now on the
high road to recovery.
Don't be surprised if your sport
ing goods dealer wants So for every
baseball you buy at his store before
the summer is gone. Yarn is scarce.
Woolen yarn that goes into the
making of the genuine big league
baseball has increased in price 800
per cent, and shows no sign of stop
ping, according to a big manufac-
turer. League, balls at $3.50 are
possible only because the makers
have stored yarn ahead of the latest
rise, but it is said that they haven't
anywhere near the amount needed
to last.
Mike ONeill, recently signing as
manager of the Shreveport Texas
League team, after being mentioned
as possible leader of the st. Louis
Cardinals, began his bush league
baseball career under the name of
Mike Joyce. He was bashful about
seeing his real name in the paper.
And yet, it was his real name, at
that, his middle name, so it wasn't
all camouflage. Mike started in
Montreal, known as Joyce. in 1901.
The next year he was pitching for
the Cardinals, winning eighteen out
of thirty-three games. But then he
wds known as Mike O'Neill, forming
with his brother, Jack, the Car
dinals famed O'Neill battery.

big exception to this, through his
wonderful offensive playing against
Central last Friday night.
To date 1t looks like an even
chance for any of the teams except
Allentown. The newcomers have
lost four straight, one on their own
floor, and will likely hold down the
cellar position. Yet when the
Dutch" become better acquainted
with the league rules, they will no
doubt give better account of them
selves.
Central, Tech, York and Read
ing all have a clean slate. All or
them except York will have to play
away from home this week, and 1t
is likely that several of them will
have defeats chalked up against
them. Tech goes to Lebanon on
Wednesday night while Friday night
they will entertain Allentown. Fri
day night Central will travel 10
Steelton, and the local lads Will
have to go at fast clip to ward
off defeat. The same evening Read
ing goes to ork. The White Roses
are hard to defeat on their home
floor, and one thing sure is that an
other team in the league Will have a
defeat against them. The averages
to date follow:

NEW YORK STATE LEAGUE
MAGNATES AGAINST FARRELL;
DO NOT FAVOR HIS PLANS

the league to affiliate with the
Texas circuit as manager OF the
Shreveport club. Mike decided long
ago that he wasn't going to hang
around to act as pallbearer for the
State League and grabbed the Texas
Lacquer vocation when the offer
came his way.
Pitcher Leon Cadore, who while
with the Wilkes-Barre team in the
New York State League, was one of
the stars of the circuit, and who is
now training for an officers commits
sion at Camp Upton, has written
President Ebbets, of the Brooklyn
club, that he intends to ask for
furlough, and if he gets it he will re-
port to Manager Robinson in time
for the southern training trip.
In a letter here Cadore says that
he is confident that he will be
awarded an officers bars. He says
that he likes the military life, and,
like the rest of the boys, is anxious
to complete the training and start
for France. He plans to keep in
good shape and as soon as the
weather permits will start to timber
up his pitching arm.
Jimmy O'Nein Not For Sale
1t now develops that the Wilkes
Barre club, of the New York State
League, cannot sell Shortstop Jimmy
O'Neill for the very simple reason
that 1t hasn't the title to him.
O'Neill went to Wilkes-Barre on
a loan, not sale, and when the
1917 season ended Jim reverted
back to the Buffalo club, of the
International League, which secured
him from the Boston Red Sox. Just
now the Bisons are bankrupt and
the International League seems to
be headed for the shoals just like
the State League. hence Jimmy says
1t isn't quite clear to him lust
where he does stand.
Incidentally the crack little in
fielder to-day filed a claim for sal
ary against the bankrupt owners.

school also VIII be urged to come out
for the quintet in an endeavor to put
the best team in the school on the
floor to represent the Maroon.
Following the Lebanon contest,
practice will be directed toward the
Allentown game. AS all the other
teams have been taking the Lehigh
countians into camp, Tech should
have no trouble in landing the battle.
AS a preliminary to the Tech-Al-
lentown contest it is likely that the
Freshmen and Senior teams will meet.
These fives are the leaders in the
league, and the winner of the game
will hold undisputed possession of
first place. 1t should be a nip and
tuck contest from start to finish.
Dancing will again be featured fol-

DO NOT RUSH
COTTON TO MARKET
EVERY GROWER WHO RAISES 10
BALES OF COTTON SHOULD
PUT TWO IN WAREHOUSE.
SELL THE CROP GRADUALLY
II There Is a Surplus 1t Must BE
Absorbed BY Reduced Produc-
ton Next Year.

In recent speech on the cotton
situation, Clarence Ousley, Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture, said that as
he sees the situation mo calamity
impends if we do not lose our heads"
and that he is more concerned about
the gathering OF the crop than about
disposing of it.
He offered solution, even il there
is surplus of from three to four
million bales, and says:
IF every farmer who raises 10
bales of cotton will put two in the
warehouse and sell the remainder by
installments from month to month
throughout the winter and spring in
stead of forcing it all on the market
at one time, the difficulty in even its
worst aspects will disappear"
He thinks That if there is surplus
of cotton this year it must be alb
sorbod by reduced production next
year. Furthermore, he points Out
that the Government did not ask for
so large a crop, and that in all fair
ness this fact must be recognized, the
crops having been produced because
the Southern growers refused tt
heed the warning of agricultural lead
ers and economists.-L. S. U. Press
