REDS WHO WERE
WITH WHITE SOX
Roush Star Hitter Was on
Trial; ''Hod'' Eller in
Training

Chicago, Sept SIT is a singu-
lar coincidence that Ave members OF
the CINCINNATI Nationals formerly
wore the uniforms of the White Sox
the team they are to play for the
worlds championship.
Eddie Roush. star batter and out
fielder with the Reds. was with the
White Sox for q tryout under the
management OF Jimmy Callahan IN
1918, but wns released to Lincoln.
Morris Rath, the Reds second base
man also with the White Sox under
Callahan. He was released to the
Kansas City club where he came
to the front as q 800 hitter. He
was signed by Cincinnati last sea-
son-and made good from the start
''Hod" Eller, who has been pitch
ing remarkable ball for the Reds,
was on the White Sox roster during
the spring training trip of 1915. but
was released to the Moline club of
the Three-I League. Eller started
his professional career in the Three-l
League, which also produced Clar-
encs Rowland, whom kid" Gleason
succeeded as manager of the White
Sox. Rowland w0s the first to recog-
nige Eller's major league possibili-
ties and gave him a. chance to quail
ify in fast company.
F,ller's Rise Rapid
While the team was in training
at Mineral Wells, Texas, Eller
"palled" with Dave Danforth and
other pitchers, and picked up q lot
of valuable information. His rise
to baseball fame with the Reds has
been rapid. Like Eddie Cicotte, one
of the pitching stars of the White
Sox, Eller's best year previous to
this season was in 1917. He won ten
out of ffteen games. He has been
one of the pitching mainstays of the
Reds staff this season.
The Sox also contributed two
more players to the Reds, concerning
whom little is heard. They are
Henry Schreiber, utility infielder.
who was with the Chicago club time
in 1911, later going to Minneapolis.

Hummelstown defeated Marys-

HunJnelstown, and Biever, for

with Biever having the slight edge
on his opponent. However, the
Marysville support was shaky and
accounted for the donation of the
game to Hummelstown. In the

which the speedy Reilly won first

second and Zerance and Marisco
running a dead heat for third prize.
This was followed by a half-mile re-

which won the purse for his team.
Chicken and Waffle Dinner
From Hershey the party drove
through the beautiful Swatara Val

Hotel Lingle's famous chicken and
waffle dinners was cleaned up in
such manner as only athletes know

for Allentown High School that can

The Commonwealth team was COM

No less than five former Tech and Gem
trail captains were in the lineup. "Muzz"

Lloyd, captain and quarterback OF the
1917 Maroon team played halfback
position Saturday. "Bin" Britsch at
quarter and Eddie" Harris at left
hen were the other two Tech leaders
OF yesteryear. mob" Frank. brother

captain of the last eleven ever to rep

"Art'' Fields Plays
In addition to these stars were Art
Fields, one of the hardest plungers ever
developed in the city. Hank" McFar-
land and Stehman Bell, fornly of
Tech, and "Bilr' Bennett the former
Academy star Supplementing this
aggregation were Dill and Howe, two
heavyweights who played ball in the
West End League as catchers.
Tech looked strong. and while II
must be taken into consideration that
the Commonwealths were not any too
we'll organized. 1t is doubtful If bet
ter team will oppose Tech this 'Eason.
Many of the players were in good con-
dition, as they had been playing right
along in France. Techs total of 67
points shows how good they were on the
offense. That the Maroon line held this
,ggregation to first downs shows how
good they were on the offense.
Tech Has Fine Team
Tech has a fine team, so much so
that none of the other High school teams
in the State want to play Harrisburg.
Wilkes-Barre is scheduled to play on
the Island this Saturday and they
seem to be developing cold feet" dur
ing the last several days. The coal
region boys would rather come to Har-
risburg They say that they did not
understand that game had been sched-
uled. A new faculty director has come
TO Wilkes Barre, and he did not under
stand the agreement made by the
faculty adviser last season with Tech.
So Tech will have to look around for
another opponent for this Saturday.
