days program of the Pennsylvania

the program carried over until to-
day.
The first part of the match, con-

yards, was completed in the morn

distance of l 1000 yards, had bare

largest ever seen in this vicinity,
swept the ranges and drove the
marksmen .scurrying for shelter.

Expect Great Battle in
West End Baseball Game

Rain stopped local twilight games
last evening. The heavy rains dur
ing the day made it impossible TO
play on either the West End of Hill
League fields. The big game at
Fourth and Seneca streets will be
played this evening. Motive Power
will play the Engineers and Firemen
Both teams are on edge for this bat
tie. The Motive Power is anxious to
get near enough to the leaders TO
make the final result doubtful. To
do this it will be necessary to win
three games and West End lase
three.
The Engineers and Firemen have
been factors in the race and recently
have shown a pace that makes the re-
suit of every game doubtful. The
tailenders can make it very unpleas-
ant for the leaders and runners up
and will go after every game just
the same as if they were next to the
top. This means battle eXtraordi-
nary this evening. Both the rail
readers and Motive Power promise
some surprises. The bate ries will be
secret until this evening.

OF the Allison Hill and the West End
Leagues meet in the first of series
of five contests for the championship

battle up at the West End grounds.
The fourth game will go to the Island
Saturday afternoon. September 6. If
a fifth game is necessary. the date and
place of meeting will be determined
later So decided the officers of the
two leagues at a meeting last night.
While the setting of the dates and
the places for the battles was the
major item in the evenings discus
sion. practically every little detail was
worked out for the series. Reading
Railways will represent Allison Hill,
while either West Ends team. or the
Motive rower aggregation will be
the nine to fight for the Donors of the
younger circuit. The uptown leagues
pcnnunt will be decided within a
short time, between one or the other
of the two mentioned teams.
Game on Each Field
The arrangement of places for the
games will doubtless meet with the
approval of the city fans. Neither
the West End grounds nor the Ali
son Hill diamond will suffice to ac-
commodate the crowds, that will
gather. But one game cat least, will
be played on each field. and this
should meet with the approval of the
patrons in both cnos of the town.
After this argument has been set
tied in the city, the Dauphin-Perry
circuit and want a crack at the city
winners. All season there has been
standing argument in the DIP
as TO whether Harrisburg bali is
as fast as that played by the smaller
towns. Once the city championship
is decided. the winner of the Dau-
phin- Perry will come forward ready
to contend for the honors of Central
sylVania-.
While other independent teams will
also lay claim to first honors, it has
always been held the way to sift
down the question as to the premier

Return of the silk Tile"

When we fought to make the world free
for democracy, it was the high belief of many
hopeful persons that into the melting pot Of
war were cast outworn and oppressive GUS
toms of many kind Mankind was to come
out of the purging fires cleansed Of lot of
habits and ways that hampered him, and es
pecially those conventions of habit that re-
stricted him in his reasonable comfort. This
hope is being disappointed. From London
comes the dire news that the silk tile or
plug hat" is being revived This relic of a
time when men suffered much in order that
they might not appear odd was its last legs
when the crucibe of war swallowed the affairs
of humanity. Who would have thought the
"two-quart hat had any of the qualities of the
salamander, or that it would arise like the
Phoenix from its own ashes? If it gets foot
hold again, it carries with it the frock coat for
afternoon wear, and other things Happily,
we of this far hinterland of style still may CIR
die ourselves with narrow leather strap and
with "hay hat" upon our noble brows defy to
some degree the ardor of the July sum- but the
news from London disconcerts us just the
same-at least those who must look forward
to some time when they will be required to
absent themselves from the careless life of the
Missouri valley and sojourn among the devo-
tees of fashion nearer the sunrise.

Anna Howard Shaw's Legacy.

Reader: The legacy which DR..
Anna Howard Shaw bequeathed to
the cause Of suffrage is not one Of
dollars, nor one which can be meas
ured in terms of finance. She lived
a life Of service, and it Is impossi-
BILE for human calculation to assess
the value of it. If you were famil-
lar with the inside of DR.. Shaw's
leave but little money to the cause
which claimed her heart. Unlike
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. who in
herited independent means from her
husband and has given generously
therefrom to suffrage, DR.. Shaw
was entirely self-supporting. When
she became president of tn Nation
al Woman Suffrage association in
1904. the position carried with it no
salary. In 1905 and for five years
thereafter she received an annual
stipend from a memorial fund
raised in the name of Susan B. An
thony. DR.. Shaw never again re-
ceived a salary. She gave some
paid lectures and generous friends
looked after her bank account. This
was always the case with Miss An
thony, who never received a dollar
Of salary for her f1fty-fve years la
Dor. During DIR. Shaw's two years
of strenuous and absorbing work
for the government. which finally
resulted in her death, she never re-
ceived or would have accepted a
dollar. After she resigned the pres
idency in 1915. a few appreciative
friends, men and women, arranged
for an annuity of about $4,000

Was of the Professors

No class of institutions in the United
States placed itself more promptly or more
patriotically at the services of the government
when war came than did the universities and
colleges of the country. They gave of their
student body, of their faculties, of their labor
atory facilities freely and enthusiastically.
Many of them furnished men to the govern
ment who performed valuable service in the
scientific field. Few branches of the great war
were without notable contributions from the
university faculties. Thus the embattled pro-
fessors of the land covered themselves with
considerable glory.
Now most of the professors and instruc-,
tors who went forth from the academic halls
At the call Of their country are home again
like the greater part of the army that fought
in France And the question as to the spirit
they bring back and put into their attitude and
ieaching and administration is easily answered.
\ We may assume with good reason that their
Atriotic devotion has been reinforced by the
service they have so freely given; that they
now have a better and more militant concep
ton OF the part the university should play in
the general plans for promoting good citizen
ship; and that they will act always as force
to keep the universities in contact with the
great realities of national thought and national
feeling. Chicago News

cause he is detained for duty.
A few days ago one of the boys
told ME of friend whose wife had
written him that she was through
with him, that he need not come
home to his family because his out
fit had returned and he was held, as
she supposed, for veneral trouble.
Another boy, fine lad. told me that
he had just received a letter from
his mother. stating that she had
gone to meet his division as it re-
turned only to find that he was net
with it. She anXiously inquired if
he was held because of veneral dis
ease. These cases prompt me to
write this article in defense of our
boys. 1t is deplorable that such
situations should arise. The strong
est condemnation of any newspaper
or individual responsible for such
heart-aches and troubles is too mild
to say the least. Open your hearts
and arms to the boys and don't add
to their already heavy load. If they,
on the other hand, have erred, they
must pay the price. After some
months in France with combat divi-
sionS, l want to say that if the
folks at home knew half the story
of lonesomeness, privations suffer-

would get down on their knees to
the returning lads, instead Of view
