instead and that two or three other
National League club owners would
accompany him.
John K. Tener. president of the
National League. in a telephone con-
versation from New York with Her
mann said that he would not attend
the meeting. as he had decided not
to attend any more sessions of the
National Commission. This 1t is un-
derstood is in line with his declara-
tion several weeks ago that he
would not sit with johnson in any
baseball matters, following the dis
pute over the Pitcher Barry case.
Chairman Hermann said that at the
Cleveland meeting the question of
when to close the major league sea-
sons and also the question of holding
world series will be definitely de-
cided
President Johnson said he was
strongly opposed to continuing base
ball after September /. as he believes
to play after that date would be a
direct violation of the War Depart
ment's orders. Six of the eight clubs
in the American League, he said
have approved his suggestion to close
the championship season on or about
August 20, and then stage the worlds
series and exhibition games in the
eleven days remaining until the first
of September.
"It would be selfish to take ad-
vantage of Secretary Bakers order
This is no time to force recreation on
I the public, when Americans are CIV
| ing up their lives on the battlefields
of France" said the" statement is
sued by Mr.. Johnson to-day.

CHEW OF TOBACCO IS ALL THAT
PITCHER SWARTS NEEDS TO WIN

Take a good look at Harrisburg's S
youngest star pitcher-Mose Swartz,
aged IA, now a regular member of
the fast Reading Club in the Allison
Hill League.
Even the Impractical eye can see
by Noses confident arrangement of
anatomy that he has poise, speed and
control. And Nose demonstrates. He
surely does. He won fifteen games
without defeat this season and was
the idol of many thousands of fans
who claim that Harrisburg never
saw the like of Nose.
HE pulled my team out of some
bad holes" confessed Manager Press
Ter, of the Reading. "He trimmed
Rosewood and Galahad in critical
games" Hill fans who saw this kid
work with the older men, many of
them professionals, think Nose is
nothing less than a miracle, because
not only can he pitch like a Mathew
son, but he hits 400 in the Junior
League.
Nose was born and reared in old
John Harris town. He is not a talk
ative person and when intervived as
to how one might account for his
success he responded laconically:
IF / don't have a chew o'tobacco,
I can't play ball" The slight but firm
bulge in Noses port cheek shown in
the picture, bears out his claim and
we do not see how any sport lover
can condemn the cherished weed,
when it makes baseball prodigy out
of Nose SwartZ.

August Hermann, chairman of the
National Baseball Commission, says
that he will not attend the meeting
of the National League, called by
John X. Tener, president of the
league for Saturday at New York.
II am not going to the meeting of
the National League, called by
Tener," said Hermann. Some other
National Leaguers will not be there,
either. Why should we go? We
have a tacit understanding to keep
right on with the schedule till Sep
tember l, and not to worry in the
meanwhile. There isn't any reason
why a worlds series cannot be ar
ranged to begin September 3 or 4.
The men who will play the world
series games would have been granted
ten days or two weeks by their draft
boards in which to find jobs. BY our
system of finding essential work for
the athletes they will be at work
before that period of time"
President Ban Johnson, of the
American League. has called a spe-
cial meeting of the organization to be
held in Cleveland on Saturday, def
nitely to decide on the proposed early
| closing of the season and the stag
ing of the worlds series prior to Sep
tember /, in compliance to Secretary
Bakers work-or-fight order. There
also will be a special meeting of the
National League Commission in
Cleveland at the same time.
Although the club owners of the
National League are scheduled to
meet in special session in New York
on Saturday, President Johnson was

Railroad Employees Start Co
operation Movement; Off

Sunbury, Aug. 1.-What co-opera-
ton means to railroads and rail-
road men was the theme for a series
of addresses by railroad officials yes
terday. A big mass meeting was
held in the court house. 1t was part
of the campaign for an active get
together movement now in progress
over the entire system of the Penn
sylvania railroad. Success of the
cooperation movement on the
middle and Philadelphia divisions
was pointed out. A club will be or
ganized similar to that at Harris
burg.
They were urged to work with
will and to work every day on
their jobs, and as President Wilson
has so aptly put it, Keep the arter-
les of the country open" during the
present great National crisis. APP
peals were also made for great care
and safety first" during this time,
that life and limb might be con-
served so that we may better help
to keep the boys over there sup
piled with food and ammunition.
Tells Men to Stop Kicking
H. G. Duffy representing the
safety first section of the United
States railways, in speaking upon
this subject made this stirring and
enthusiastic appeal and in speaking
of those who kick at the number of
hours they are sometimes forced to
lay over at Harrisburg and Remove
or other points in their cabins, he
called it bosh, saying that they
should. and especially in war times,
be willing to undergo a little hard
ship in order to help our nation and
country to better prosecute the war
to a successful elimination and to
help in making things easier for our
boys over there who do not have
cushions and cabins to sleep in
when they are in the trenches.

[Copyright, 1918, by The Tribune AS
sociation (New York Tribune)l
Dear Heart, some day, when I come
back
Across the night that blurs our
view,
When I have found the long lost
track
That leads again to home-and
When 1 have stalked across this
stencil
OF filth and mud and clotted gore,
To see beyond the last lone trench
Old dreams rise through the mist
once more
Wen know, beyond these blood-shot
scenes
That leave their wake of blight
and pain
Just what an old-time twilight
means
When dusk steals out some friend
ly lane,
And, hand in hand, home bound we
drift,
Beyond the mangled and the dead.
To watch once more the old moon
lift
It's silver etchings on ahead
To meet the darkness without fear
OF what to-morrow's fate may
bring;
To reach and find the other near
Through springs eternal wander
ing,
And know, at last. our ways are one,
Are one forever and a day,
Until we meet the last dim sun
That leads us on the outbound
way.
Wen know just what it means to see
A far light glowing through the
gray.
Dim dusk of April's witchery,
When l come back again-some
day
A light from home-and not the flow
OF battle flame from darkness
hurled,
A light from home that sends its
glow
To two lost lovers down the world.
Dear Heart, I've found Out Here, at
last,
We've never understood before:
The happiness that we thought past
Is but a breath of what's in store
Far from the cannon, wheel to
wheel.
That tear apart the midnight hue,
The dawn of life that we will feel
Dear Heart, when I come back to
YOU,
