RICE IS DROPPING
IN HIS SNATTING
By LOUIS A. DoUGHER.

sam Rice, who has been washing
tons one proud boast as q bstsman
ever since the curtain went up on the
1919 campaign, is dahgerously close 20
slipping out OF the/.3O class. When
he ended his days work on August II,
Rice owned a clouting average OF .325.
Today, after swinging around the
Western wheel and appearing in two
double-headers ct the Polo Grounds,
with yesterdays contest here thrown
in for good measure, Sam stands at
the .3o2 mark.
Since August II Rice has made Just
II hits in 81 times at bat. This is a
batting average OF .164. explaining his
speedy tumble from .325 to 500 in
about two weeks. Here are Riee's
figures on august II:

Use Airplanes To Get
Course Views

Judging by a picture of the
Seattle Golf Club links, taken by
Lieut.. Leland Miller, U. S. Army
air service, while flying in a sea-
plane, it is possible to get bet
ter view Of an eighteen-hole
course in this way than in any
other manner save actual play.
When the average stranger be-
fore starting out from the first
tee glances at a map Of the
couyse that may be hanging near
BY, he gets only a vague idea Of
the layout. With an airplane
picture, however, practically the
whole course is reproduced at a
glance, and it may be that at
some distant day this sort Of
photography will be used As an
aid in portrsying the efforts of
the contestants in important
tournaments.

chance to subscribe $40 each for
their soldiers, sailors and other war
workers. So instead of asking four
or five hundred men to conduct a

Washington, Oct 10. - President

eThe President had another

continued to improve and he
is now taking as much food
and of great variety as we de-
size.

Despite the progress the President
is making toward complete recov-
cry, the physicians will insist on a
long period of absolute rest and
quiet. DIR. Grayson said 1t would
not be safe to do other than follow
this course of treatment.

$50 More Rooms May Be
Added to Penn-Harris
to Meet Urgent Demand

While no official action has yet
been taken by the directors of the
Harrisburg Hotel Company, owners
of the Penn-Harris, regarding an
enlargement of the hotel to provide
additional rooms, it became known
to-day that the owners are seriously
considering an extension of the
building with a view to meeting the
the increasing demand foraccommo-
dationS.
From the beginning the Penn
Harris, regarded as large enough at
the outset for number of years,
proved so popular that the public
has been clamoring for more room
to supply the demand. Thousands
of people have been turned away
from the desk unable to secure
rooms.
w. L. Stoddard, the architect, has
been consulted regarding the best
plan of enlargement and will prob
ably be ready to submit his sugges-
tions when the directors conclude to
90 ahead. E. z. Wallower, presi-
dent of the Harrisburg Hotel Com
pany, is now in the West and a meet
ing of the board of directors will
probably be called on his return.
Generally speaking, at least $50
additional rooms are necessary ow-
ing to the constant increase of pa
tronage and the growing importance
OF the city as a meeting place of
conventions and important confer
ences. No hotel in the United States
!. has proved so successful in meeting
he expectations of the public as
She Penn Harris and this has been
due not only to the character of the
building itself and its modern ap-
pointments, but also to the efficiency
