Mr.. George is hurrying to get the crop

NEW STAR FOR
LOCAL TOSSERS
Sam Moorehead Will Play
With Independents; Here
Saturday

Sam Moorehead, of Philadelphia,
regarded as one of the best center
men in professional basketball cir
cles. has been signed to finish the
season with the Harrisburg Inde-
pendents. He will take the place OF
big Hoss" Haggerty, who intends
to finish the season with the Read
ing club of the Eastern League.
Moorehead played against Hag-
gerty here in the opening contest
of this season. with the st. Eliza
beth five, of Philadelphia. and his
work in that contest was of high
order. While not quite as accom-
plished in the handling of the ball
as Haggerty, Moorehead is a faster
floor worker, and is a more able
dribbler than the big boy.
The big Hoss" has been a mem.
ber of the Reading club for several
years. Last year the Eastern League
was not organized, and Haggerty
had little difficulty in getting out to
play with other clubs. The reorgar-
ization of the league this season took
him back to the Reading club, and
league rulings prevent his playing
with any teams outside of the
league.
Moorehead Plays Saturday
In order to lower the inducements
for outside play, the Reading club
has increased its salary roll consid-
erably, and Haggerty received such
an excellent offer that he has de-
cided to confine his activities to the
Reading club alone this season.
Moorehead is to play his first
game with the Independents Satur-
day night of this week against the
Vincome team, of Philadelphia. He
will be opposed by either Jack Law
renee or Larry Pasqurillo, and the
battle of the centermen should pro-
vide an interesting feature of the
fray. Moorehead will take part in
one of the practices to be conduct
ed by Manager Ford and the other
members of the Independent squad
this week. and, should be in good
shape to make things hum when the
team lines up against the Vincomes

MUST CARE FOR
CAVE JEWELLERS
Red Gross Sees That Refu-
gees Are Unable to Look
After Themselves

Omsk, Nov. 12.-Several thousand
cave-dwelling refugees in the out
skirts of Omsk, facing Siberian
winter only a month or two off, liv-
ing in hand-to-mouth fashion with
nothing in the way of clothing but
the rags in which they stand, con-
stitute a problem for the American
Red Cross, practically the only or
ganization to which they can look
with any hope of relief. The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent accom-
panied Major Charles Mcdonald and
DIR. A. F. Jackson, Red Cross man
ayers, on a tour of inspection to-
day. They were trying to gauge the
necessities and match them against
their resources already badly
strained with relief work among
refugees and troops.
The first group of huts visited
numbered a hundred and forty, COW
ering perhaps an acre of ground and
averaging five persons to a hut.
There were two other similar set
Elements in the neighborhood. Most
of the huts were burrows, sometimes
with little window peeping out
close under the clay covered roof.
Crude steps led down into the dark
interiors which one entered by dou-
bling up like a jackknife. Stoves
contrived out of bricks and stones
and scraps of sheet iron, a wide
bunk or platform which served as
sleeping accomm odation for the en-
tire family, table made out of odds
and ends and a stool or two con-
stituted the usual furnishings. To
be sure there were more preten-
tious ones here and there with wood
sheathing against the clay walls,
whitewashed or papered with news
papers. and having board floors,
but these were the "bourzhui"
among the refugee proletariat.
One cave about eight feet by ten
feet had originally housed seven
people. To-day there were two; the
others had died during eighteen
months in the settlement. Most of
those living in these huts have been
refugees since 1915 when they were
driven from their homes in Poland
and Lithuania by the Russian army
during its first advance against the
Germans. Many of them had been
farmers, prosperous in small way,
or factory workmen or tradesmen.
Nearly all of them find employment
enough to eke out an existence and
the Omsk government provides food
for those who are not able to work.
