playing two games in Cincinnati
and then coming here for three is
all right so far as / am concerned"
President Comiskey said. "If we
had won the toss for the opening
games it would have been all the
same to me-"
Approximately 10000 applications
for worlds series tickets have piled
up at the White Sox park and must
be returned to the senders, as the
reserved and box seats have been
sold. There has been the usual pro-
test from disappointed applicants
in the method of awarding the
tickets, but officials explained there
was no other course to pursue.
The pennant race in the Amer
lean League cannot be settled be-
fore tomorrow, as neither Chicago
nor Cleveland plays until that day,
Chicago has five games remaining
The percentage figures show that if
the White Sox win one or Cleveland
loses one Chicago will win the PEN
nant. If Chicago loses all five of
its games, and Cleveland wins four.
the flag will go to Cleveland. The
Cleveland Club reduced Chicago's
lead to four games yesterday by
winning from Washington.

HARD WORK FOR
TECH GRID TEAM
Maroons to Meet Allentown
High in Opening Con-
test Saturday

In preparation for the initial foot
ball contest of the 1919 season in
Harrisburg to be played over on the
island Saturday afternoon by the
Technical High Squad against the
Allentown High School team. Coach
Paul Smith put tho Maroon warriors
through the hardest scrimmage last
night. Each evening will see a
slackening of the heavy work until
signal practice will be run off Fri
day night.
Last night Coach Smith made sew
Garrett was played at center. and
his place in the backfield was taken
by George Germer. When Garrett is
at right half back, Johnny Smith
will be the pivot man.
Beck Good Punter
Carl Beck has been featuring the
work outs by his splendid punting.
He will do the booting for the Ma
room team. Wilsbach and Lingle are
as dependable as ever, and will make
life miserable for opposing lines and
ends. Tech never had their equal
on any one team. Beck, Lingle and
W ilsbach are an unbeatable trium-
virate.
Undoubtedly Captain Frank and
Arnold will start at tackles. No one
so far has been able to displace
them. Half a dozen players have a
chance at guard. Comfort and Hoff-
sommer SO far seem to have the call.
but Ellinger, Pleam and Eaton are
on the job at all times. Comfort is
the Terre Haute lad who Joined the
squad this season. He will be a
valuable adjunct to the Tech line
once he learns Coach Smiths style
of play, and becomes accustomed to
the Eastern method of stopping an
offensive.
Two on Injured List
Zip" Malick has a bad bruise of
his left leg above the knee due to a
kick. Snaps" Emanuel has been
suffering from bruises for several
days, but was able to be at prac-
tice last night. Books. a junior, has
been showing fiashy work, and may
make a place at end or in the back
field. "Midge" Matter has been
showing good form at end. Although
he is handicapped by his lack of
weight, he will surly earn a ,try-out
in one of the earlier contests. Erd-
ley is also an aspirant for a wing
position. Allentown High will be the
attraction Saturday, and the largest
turn out in the history of Tech is
expected.

TECH HIGH GIVEN CREDIT
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM
BY FAMOUS GRID COACH

Spaldings football guide for 1919
gives Tech credit for having had one
of the best high school teams last
year ever developed in the United
States. George w. Orton, a coach
at the University of Pennsylvania,
under the heading Scholastic Foot
ball in the Middle States," says:
There was no doubt of the cham
pionship high school team in the
Middle States last season. The Har-
risburg Technical High school out
ranked every team they met. They
scored 5s7 points to 10 against
them.
Strong Eleven
This eleven was undoubtedly
one of the strongest that has ever
been developed in this country. BY

Harrisburg Players Bring
Hope to Gettysburg Team

Gettysburg Pa, Sept. 23.-The
return of Victor Emanuel and
James Richards, of Harrisburg, star
players of the Gettysburg College
football squad seyeral years ago,
has greatly strengthened the eleven
which will this year represent the
institution. There were enough can
didates on the field to make up four
elevens and the material is the
most promising of many seasons.
Almost the entire squad is composed
of men with former football expert
ence, and Coaches Wood and Leath-
ers are confident that the strength
of the outfit will be fully shown in
Nthe early games and maintained as
the season progresses. Gettysburg
this year has the hardest schedule
Which it has faced for long time,
but the athletic authorities are free
to say that the team will fully JUS
tify the management in having ar
ranged the heavy program.

claimed national honors, but on the
records of the two teams they have
no reason to believe themselves
stronger than Harrisburg Tech.
''In Beck, Lingle. Elmer and Wills
bach, Harrisburg Tech had one of
the greatest backfields that has ever
represented any school.
Beck Fast Boy
Beck was a remarkably able
runner and scored many points for
his team. His record this year as
one of the greatest all-around
track and field athletes in scholas-
tic ranks proves that he is probably
the greatest athlete of the year in
our schools. AS is to be ex-
pected, the Harrisburg line was far
above the average of the ordinary
high school eleven. Their coach
Paul G. Smith, deserves great
credit for their remarkable show
ing"

HIGH WORKS HARD FOR OPENING GAME With BBE RUTH COMM

Local Promoter

Dave" Mcconnell, secretary and
business manager of the new Har-

tered the game here with an addi-
tional idea to that of making money
out of it at the expense of the pub
lie, according to statement made
by him yesterday. while the or
ganiZation expects to realize some
thing from it's investment, 1t also
desires to. place before the fans
something that will be. suitable

says, "and only boxing of that kind
will be countenanced.
There are possibilities of boxers
throwing us down, but with us such
q thing will only occur once for any
man that we secure to fight, for a
return match will be awarded no
person who does not give satisfac-
ton in his first appearance.
Sport Is Popular
Boxing, the Oliver Twist of
sportdom, which for years has been
used as a football by professional
reformers and maltreated in the
house of its supposed friends, ap-
parently has emerged from its drab
days of a miserable existence and is
about to take its proper place in the
brotherhood of rough, vigorous pas
times.
always keenly in favor with the
patrons of sport requiring sklll,
strength and courage, yet for years
boxing has been summed by the
better classes of the community ow-
ing to the unsavory methods of those
who have dominated the sport in the
past.
Fighters Improve
But, following the great conflict
in Europe, boxing promoters and
managers and the boxers themselves,
to n large extent, have mended their
ways and are conducting the sport
in a commendable way. True there
still is room for improvement. but
the trend is in the direction of a
higher standard all around, and the
future prospects of the sport are in
deed rosy.
II feel confident that the persons
who attend the opening show of our
organization in the Chestnut Street
Auditorium here Friday night of
this week will agree with me that
we are doing all we can to attain
that higher standard"
