Players Picked For
Tech Game at Island
Baltimore Polytechnic Is
Here For Game With Tech

Twenty members OF the Baltimore
Polytechnic Inst titute football team
arrived in this city this morning
chockful of confidence as to the
outcome of the game with Tech on
the Island this afternoon. The clear
weather brought one of the largest
crowds of the season to the Island,
hopeful that the Monumental City
eleven would give Tech a battle.
Maroon cheer leaders and the band
were also on hand.
At LAS Captain Matters reserves
lined up against the East End Ju-
niors. At 8 o'clock the big game
started with Butler and Moffatt as
referee and umpire. C. w. Miller
was head linesman.
Already there is talk of cham
pionship teams throughout the couh-
try, and Tech stands ready to meet
any and all of them for the pre-
mier honors. Techs record to date
is even better than last season. To-
day Tech started its strongest line
up, but once the game is won, Coach
Smith will not take any chances with
injuries to his players, because of
the game at Mercersburg next Sat-
urday when Tech undoubtedly will
have the toughest contest of the
season.

Edison Juniors Today
Play Palmyra High Team

The gridiron warriors of Edison
Junior High School journey to Pal
myra to-day where they confident
ly hope to attach the scalp of Pal
myra High school to their belt
The braves will assemble at the Edi-
son building shortly after noon from
which place they will go by truck
to Palmyra. They leave about
1890.
Most of the equipment has been
received and distributed to the boys.
Although the team has been very
much handicapped by this lack they
have worked hard and will give Pal
myra a hard fight. The inclement
weather this week prevented scrim-
mage practice and practically the
only work done this week was sig
nal practice, most of which took
place on the gym floor. The coach
has intimated that the following line
will start the game:
McLinn, left end; Heagy, left
tackle: Jones, left guard; Bihl, CEN
ter; Cassell, right guard; Selser,
right tackle; Kelly, right end; Lentz.
quarterback; Nye, left halfback;
Snyder. right halfback; Barringer,
fullback.
Seven other boys will make the
trip and will doubtless get into the
game. These boys are: Fellers,
Blumenstine, Dreese. Challenger,
Prowell, Rietz and Shirk.

Campaign Against
the Cigaret Next,
Says DR.. Wilson
Ian Aaaocinted Press

Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 1S.-Dr.
Clarence True Wilson, temperance
secretary of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, told the international
convention of Disciples of Christ
yesterday that "the cigaret must go'
as one of the next moves of the
reformers," which was his subject.
Others given are Sabbath observ-
ance, and world prohibition. DIR.
Arthur Holmes, president of Drake
University, Des Moines, Iowa, said
college degrees are worth $4,000 at
five per cent. every year, and high
school diplomas are valued at $1S,-
500 at the same ratio. The preach
er's salary is below the average
because ministers are not paid ac-
cording to their earning power, DR..
Holmes explained. When the church
pays more, the ministry will be more
attractive, and the present dearth
of preachers will be more nearly
met, he stated.

'WOMEN'S RIGHTS
ROUSE CHURCH
Presbyterians Seek Opinions
of Laity Throughout
United States

Whether women shall have equal
rights with men in all the functions
of membership in the Presbyterian
Church in the United States is to be
determined by a canvass of the
Presbyterians of the country.
Three questions are to be decid-
ed: whether women shall be Or
dained to the eldership; whether
they shall be ordained to the min
istry of the church, and whether
they shall have the same rights as
men in the sessions, presbyteries,
synods and assemblies of the
church.
These questions were propounded
to the general assembly of the Pres
byterian Church by three presby-
teries and were referred to a spe-
cial committee on official relations
of women in the church. This COM
mittee consists Of: The Rev. s.
Hall Young, chairman, New York;
the Rev. Edgar w. Work, New
York; the Rev. William L. Barrett,
Bellefontaine, Ohio; John T. Man
son, New Haven, Conn.,, and Rush
Taggart, New York.
The committee was appointed by
DR.. John Willis Baer, moderator of
the Presbyterian Church, in accord
ance with the action of the last
general assembly, The Rev. w. H.
Roberts, of Philadelphia, stated
clerk of the general assembly, is
eX-officio clerk of the committee.
The committee has delegated to
DR.. Young the task of obtaining the
consensus of opinion from the men
and women of the church and the
general argument pro and con. 1t
has instructed DR.. Work to report
on Bible deliverances on the sub
ject.
DR.. Barrett will assemble the
facts as to the usages of other
churches. Mr.. Manson is to report
on cases regarding women's places
in the church which have been de-
cided or are now pending, while
Mr.. Taggart is to look up Presby-
terian law and also the equity in the
case.
The committees policy is not to
precipitate, any open discussion of
the question before it makes it's re-
port to the assembly. inasmuch as
it anticipates that overtures will be
sent down to the presbyteries and
when this is done will be the proper
time for open discussion of the ques-
ton.
The committee announces, how
ever, that it does desire to receive
freely from men and women of the
Presbyterian Church their opinions
on this delicate and important mat
ter in order that the committee may
make a complete and intelligent re-
port to the Presbyterian General As
senably,

BASEBALL MEN
NOW IN POLITICS
Winter Game Will Be Fight
to Gust Johnson and
Hermann

New York, Oct. 1S.--All fronts in
the drive for the scalp of Ban John
son, American League head, are re-
ported quiet.
The force of Colonels Rupert and
Huston and their, aides, Owners
Comiskey and Frazee, are marking
time while Justice Wagner. of the
supreme court, is preparing a deci-
sion in the Mays injunction case.
Meanwhile, a score or more of
Yankee players have palms itching
for their share of third place money
which has been held up by the pro-
test of the Tiger boss, Frank Nevin.
While the big guns in the fight
nave been silent for some time, the
Yankees have been undergoing a ha-
RAISING fire from the Detroit fort.
Navin has been proving himself a
thorn in the side of the two colonels.
First he protested a double-header
played on the Polo grounds in Sep
tember. Then, when Miller Hug
gins and his black hosed tribe were
looking through catalogs for places
to invest their third place earnings,
Navin came along and said they
were not entitled to 1t, as every
6dlllS StlII Mays won was illegal,
PreXy Johnson can't decide the is
sue until the court acts on the in
junction suit.
Hermann Is Soaring
Garry Hermann is so high in the
clouds of baseball bliss over his
worlds champion Reds that he seems
to have forgotten the request that
the anti-J ohnson barons made for
his resignation as chairman of the
national commission.
Presidents Baker and Veeck, and
Colonel Rupert, who are the only
members of the committee to name
a new member of the committee
since Navin resigned, say they
haven't forgotten the ultimatum,
and that if the Red boss does not
step down gracefully they will eject
him this winter. The National
League, they assert, is we'll lined up
against Hermann and has the sup
port of Boss John Heydler. Five
clubowners of the American circuit.
however, are with Hermann, be-
cause he is the buddy of johnson.
When the issue finally comes to a
showdown, as it will this winter, it
will bring an interesting disclosure
of the strength in the major league
circuits and, in addition, it will pro-
vide plenty of fuel to keep the win
ter fires burning in the hot stove
league.

BucknelI Returns to Track
Malcolm Musser in Charge

Lcwisburg, Pa, Oct. 1S.-After a
lapse of two years, Bucknell has re-
sumed track athletics. Application
has been made for membership in
the Middle Atlantic States Athletic
Association. Two dual meets will

F. and M. in Hard Game
With P. M. c.; Marshall
Out; May Play Alfred

Lancaster, Pa, Oct. 1S.-Coach BY
Dickson put his Franklin and Mar
shall squad through only slight sig
nal drill last evening, in preparation
for the fray with Pennsylvania Mil
itary College this morning. A big
squad of players left Lancaster over
the Pennsylvania Railroad this morn
ing for Chester.
The same team that defeated AL
bright last Saturday are scheduled to
start the game against the cadets.
Marshall was expected to start the
game in the backfield, but bruised
hin received in the scrimmage last
night will keep him out of it. This
accident comes as the latest bloW
to Franklin and Marshalrs football
enthusiasts. Marshall was rapidly
rounding into shape and had skirted
the ends several times for big gains
against the scrubs before he met
with the accident. His absence from
the Varsity comes as a big disap-
pointment to the coach and makes
the fifth seriously injured player to
date. ED" Mellinger will also be
out.
P, M. c. is expected to try lot OF
oren playing, which should make
easy picking for the alert F. and NJ.
defense. Coach Dickson expects to
score by playing straight football, as
his team has proved their superiority
in that style over every opponent this
season.
Interest among the players has
taken a Jump lately and three or four
teams are out every night. Manager
Schaffner yesterday received a good
offer to take the Franklin and Mar
shall team to Hornell. N. Y. to play
Alfred University at a big Armistice
Day celebration on November II. The
trip is under serious consideration.

CHARLEY SPENCER
IS REAL SHOOTER
Holds Remarkable Record at
the Traps; Is Well
Known Here
By PETER P. CARNEY

There are hundreds OF trapshoot-
ers in this good old u. s. A. who
would cough up their last nickel and
a few other things IL they could
break 90 targets in 100 just once.
That to them would be q wonderful
feat. 1t is no small achievement.
For every shooter who averages
better than 96 per cent, there are
thousands who average below that
mark-yet we havewith us a shooter
who would feel sadly out of form
and place if he didn't better Sc. not
only one day, but every day and over
a term of years.
That individual is Charles G.
Spencer, of st. Louis, Mo. He is well
known to Harrisburgers, and was
here recently with the winchester
team. With a trapgun, Spencer is
just as good as they come. If fig
ures do not lie. he is the best. His
record is a most remarkable one.
Beginning in 1909 as a professional
shooter, his poorest year was 1918,
when he averaged 96 per cent. on
something in the neighborhood of
$500 targets. That was poor for
Spencer. That would have been ex-
tremsly high for thousands. In
other years Spencer was above SO
per cent. and twice he averaged 81
per cent, and for the ten years he
compiled a grand average of .9677.
Leads Professionals
Twice he lead the professionals of
the country in the averages in 1903
and 1915. He has always been
chosen for the All-American team
of professionals. always being in the
first ten. Here is his average for
ten years, which gives one of the
hest ideas of his ability.

vide for the construction of the new

will be closed before very long so
that the work can be advanced.
