Eighteen-Year-Old Is
Still Showing Good Speed;
Remarkable Performance

One of the most remarkable perform
ances ever made in harness racing oc-
Cured recently at the Readville track,
near Boston, when Hawkins won an
amateur race in 2:15&. This horse
was foaled in 1901 and therefore is IS
years old. He made his record of
2:16A at Dover. y. H., ten years ago.
Goldsmith Maid is the only horse that
ever trotted faster than Hawkins at
the same age She was IT years old
when she set the worlds record at 2 IA
to high.wheel sulky. At IS she trotted
in 2:141a. at 10 in 2:14 and at 20 in
2:14h, after which she was retired
and produced two foals. one of which
was the noted sire, Stranger.
The fastest record ever made by a
trotter in the teens was Country Jays
2:O54, in 1910. The horse was then IA
years old He trotted in , 09a at Is,
but this fell short of the record of 2:o9
made by the Long Island trotter, Van
Zandt, when she was 16 years old.
That many trotters retain their speed
to an unusual age is further proved by
Wentworths record of :041a, when -
years old by Sonoma Girls :04A at
il. Sweet Marie's :02 at 10 and
Uhlan's :59la when . years old.
Among PAGERS, Johnston, 2:O6 a, is
notable example of perennial perform
ars He first lowered the worlds rec
ord in 1888, when years old. Ten
wears afterward he was fast enough to
win a heat in 2:o9a, and at II he
naced n mile in n race in 2 10 u. Prince
Alert was IL years old when he paced
a mile in l :591a.

BENDER <IZzLLEZ2c5 A22GLY <4ZI1A1R-
BIG CHIEF BENDER WILL
PLAY IN WORLDS SERIES
HAS JOINED CINCINNATI

Chief Bender will be in the
Cincinnati will have him in the line
up when the big games start. He
is there now and may pitch a game
this week. 1t was probable Bender
would be sent in yesterday against
Chicago. Bender was never in bet
ter form than he is at present.
The Chief" whose career started
in Harrisburg, has been managing
a team in the Virginia League. He
brought his club from the cellar to
the top and won the championship.
Other managers were after Bender
but Pat Moran was the one man
who could get next to this star
twirler. He left Norfolk on Sunday
to join the Reds.
Oldring Pick Chief
In the same league with Bender
was Rube Oldring. He has been
watching the big Chief" all sea-
son, and tells the world that he is
the only Indian who has ever came
back, and that Bender is better than
he ever was. Oldring says, you
can give Bender all the credit pos
sible and then will not give him all
that is due. Words do not express
the form shown by this twirler,
now classed as a veteran. He has
speed and q good head, and puts
them over in the same manner that
won him fame in the past"
Many Friends Heper
Bender has a number of friends
in Harrisburg with whom he spends
part of the fall hunting season
every year. They have been in COM
munication with this star and are
backing him to be n big factor in
winning the worlds championship.
Bender also has the backing of a
big army of rooters in Harrisburg.
He was always popular here and
his many friends are glad to see
him back in his old time form.
The proposed nine game series
is not new. 1t was tried once be-
fore. Back in 1908, the first year
in which the champions of the Ma
tional and American Leagues met.
The Boston Americans defeated
Pittsburgh in this series in eight
games. the Red SoX winning five
games to three for the Pirates.
The rival teams conducted their
own series that year and in 1904
the New York Nationals refused to
NAV the Boston Americans. When
the National Commission took
charge of the worlds series in 1905
and drew up the worlds series rules
it decided on series of seven
games. having decided that the
series of 1903 had been stretched
out too long.
since then there have been sew
eraI efforts made to increase the
length of the worlds series to nine
games, the main argument used be-
ing that so few series ever run out
to the full seven games and that
the fans would like to see more of
the games.
Few Series Go Limit

to the full seven games since the

the Braves in October are good Babe
Ruth with the chances of big money
beckoning to him in the early fall, is
the only one of the Red SoX not def
nitely committed as in favor of a city

the Braves are keen to show what
they can do against the American
Leaguers.
Ruth says that the moving picture
people are after him rather strong. If
he had got into the worlds series again
the intention was to build hero film
around the big boy. AS it is. there are
several scenarios waiting for him. But
he has not signed any agreement. He is

West End Will Have Strong
Football Team This Season;
Former School Stars Play

West End Athletic Club will be in
evidence on the Grid again this sea
son. This organization has for sew
eral years been prominent with n strong
aggregation. 1t was West End who
first put n real Independent football
team in the field and played opening
games with college and preparatory
schools in neighboring counties.
The boy in charge this year is e. J.
Flicllinger and he is certain to pick a
good team. Among the candidates who
will be with him are a number of scho-
lastic stars To start off with there
are four good boys after end positions.
Art Winn. who played one of Centrars
fianks in 1915, will have for opponents,
Heiney, Mccain and Flickinger, of last
years team.
Two former Tech stars, Jerry Frock
and Snitz Snyder will battle for the
pivotal post. Seven candidates viii
seek to land the line Jobs. They are
Mckay and Jim Peiffer, of Tech I;
Spotts, of Central, and Aston, Barch,
Bates and Reed, of last years eleven.
All indications point to the back
field being one of the best in this sec
ton. Bill Britch. of Tech and Harris
burg Academy, will likely play quarter.
Ruby Bennett of the Academy, will
be a candidate for bacllfield position.
Pete Williams. who scored the great.
est number of points last year, will be
out again this fall for halfback post.
Fat Dill who tips the scales at more
than 200 will try out for fullback,
Miller, of Tech, is another strong candi-
date, while three men fresh from the

In the windup of Joe Barrett's
opening boxing show at Steelton
last evening, Johnny Gill, of York,
had a shade the better of Frankie
Mcguire, of Williamsport, in SIX
rounds. Gill had the edge on Nc
Guire as far as condition went, and
led the fight all the way through.
In the second round McGuuo o
showed a shade of his former fight
ing ability when he sent some ter
rifle punches into GilTs midsecton
In the other rounds, MCGUIRE did
considerable holding, making it diff
tiCult for Gill to gauge any time his
blows. Several times Gill landed
hard on McGuire's face, but was un-
able to put across the sleeper. Nc
Guire tried his old tactics of laying
on the ropes and springing at Gill.
but Gill was more than match
for him in this kind of lighting, and
was the better intfghter of the two
as well.
Preliminarics Went Bad
The show as a whole was rather
disappointing. The preliminarIes
did not last more than a round
each. Uneven matches was tie
cause of this. AS an opener, Joe an
nounCed that Young Wagner, cf
York, would not be present to meet
Young Shay, of Harrisburg, due to
the death of Wagners sister at Co.
lumhia. This match was called OFF,
The second preliminary was brought
on after long wait and only lasted
about two minutes. This go was
between Kicker" Peck, of Carlisle,
and Danny F'ortna, of York. Fortna
outweighed Peck by at least fifteen
pounds, and was a much more ex-
perienced man. Kicker" was
knocked down twice in the first
minute of lighting and was willing
to take more punishment, but Tim
fight
One Blow Was Enough
The next match was between
Harry Miller, of Glen Rock, and
Ben Atticks, of Harrisburg. Atticks
landed one real, solid one as an
opener and Miller failed to revive at
the count of ten. These two boys
were evenly matched as far as
weight went, but Miller never got
q start.
In the semiwindup, Young SllaI.
of York, took the count in the sec
ond round when Billey Angelo, the
Greek lightweight champion. landed
solid blow on the point of the
chin. Angelo proved that he is
some scrapper. He is built like a
real fighter and carries a punch in
both hands. Before the fight he IS
sued a challenge to Sammy SchIff
or any other lightweight in this sec
ton of the country.
Promoter Barrett announced that
he has leased the building at the
corner of Front and Locust streets.
Section, and will remodel it into
a first class clubroom. The next
show will be held in these rooms
IN about two weeks. 1t is probable
that johnny Wolgast will be one OF
the principles in the windup. Raj
rett is trying to match him with
Johnny Gill.

Dave Fultz Resents Claim
of National Commission

New York, Sept. 4.-Denying that
the new International League is in
debted to the National Commission,
David L. Fultz, president of the
league, tonight replied to an ulti-
matum of the commission demand
ing payment within thirty days of
$500 alleged to be due, on penalty
of withdrawal of protection from
those cities which were represented
in the old (InternationaI) League"
Mr.. Fultz said the threat to with
draw protection was of little con-
Germ" but that the international
resented the accusation that the
league members have failed to pay
their Indebtedness"
The alleged debt he said, was
loan of sS,718.65 made by B. B.
johnson and the National Commits
sion to the old Buffalo club, of the
International League, to enable it
90 fight the Federal League. No
other club, he asserted, had any re-
sponsibility in the matter.

Marysville at Port Royal 2 games.
Marysville clinched the 1919 Dau-
phin-Perry League gonfalon last
evening when she easily won from
Duncannon on Rosboro Field, Dun
cannon, score, 10 to /. in a post
poned game. Marysville has been i'll
the lead since the opening of the
season, gaining undisputed possess
sion of the first rung in the league
on Memorial Day by winning both
ends of a double header. Since then
she has never been headed.
The result of last evenings fray
was never in doubt. Marysville
jumped into the lead at the outset
of the game when one run was scor-
ed four singles. The other nine runs
came in punches, three being scored
in each of the third, seventh and
ninth rounds. A total of 20 hits, two
of them doubles and one a triple,
were pounded out by Marysville
clubsmiths, Is of them being secur-
ed off Stricken during his innings
reign on the mound. The last of
the game developed into q farce,
when numerous substitutions were
made.
Leading Hitters
Herman Rutter and Moore led the
Marysville contingent at the bat, the
sterling first sacker hitting safely
four times. Rutter and Moore each
secured a trio of hits. Every mem
ber of the team had at least one hit.
j. Lightner, Hippensteel, Ellenberg-
er and Stees each securing a brace
of safeties.
Only five MarysVille batsmen were
retired by strikes. Only one inning
passed without a Marysville hit be-
ing recorded. Eleven runners died
on base.

retired, Dearolf drove the ball into

of the Hill and uptown league PEN

In order to keep in the running,
Reading Railways will have to land
shis contest. West End was the victor
in the two first games, and as the
championship is for the best out of
five, should West End win tonight,
the series will end. and West End will
then have a chance to battle with the

1t is quite likely that Manager
Pressler will play his ace, Clyde Mel
l:nger in last chance. Mellinger will
win with any kind or support and
good hitting back OF him. Manager
Householder will have Stricken and
Winters to fall back on, with the odds
in favor of Stricken. Since Winters
has not been given a chance in the
series, he may be chosen by the West
Enders.
Local patrons have been flocling to
these contests by the thousands, and
even though West End has the edge
another big throng will be sure to be
on hand tonight at the battle. I'M

were the series of 1909 and, 1912.
The 1912 series lasted eight games,
as there was one tie. One series
that of 1914, was played in four
games, and seven have been played
in five games. That seems the
favorite length. Four have gone TO
six games.
Heretofore the National Com
mission always has frowned on eff
forts to increase the length of the
series, and in justice to the COM
mission it must be said that it did
this in spite of the fact that by
keeping it in a seven game limit the
rival clubs lost considerable money.
Worlds series have become so
popular in recent years that clubs
sell tickets for the series, and usual

an amount after series have been
terminated in five games.
