KEhLINGER WILL ASSIST
 BEZDEK AT PENN STATE
Penn State Football Candidates Re- port for Work
 Saturday

State College, Pa, Aug. 2S.-Foot- ball practice opens at Penn State next Saturday when squad of about 30 candidates will report to Coach Hugo Bezdek for the first workout. Most of the players have notified Graduate Manager Neil Fleming that they will reach here on Friday so that they will be in readiness right from the start.
 Dezdek faces a big task in building team this fall and it is fortunate that he is to have as his right-hand man Glen Killinger, former All-Amer- ican star at the Nittany institution. Killinger is at present playing ball with the Atlanta Club of the Southern League, but will report here for the opening of the practice.
 The Penn State coaching staff will be a small one this fall from all in- dications, just Bezdek, Killinger and Trainer Nate Cartmell. This is the smallest staff since the s. A. T. c. year when Bezdek played almost lone hand with great success. The addition of Killinger to the coaching staff gives Bezdek a helper who is thoroughly versed in his system and who was himself a product of that system. It was Bezdeks coaching that carried Killinger to the heights and the latter will now be able ito work side by side with his former. teacher in the perfection of the 1923 grid ma chine.
 Most of the members of last years team will be on hand for the practice this fall, the only losses being Bentz center; Logue and McMahon, tackles, and Hufford, end. It is also possible that Bill Hamilton, sub center, will be absent. The returning veterans are Capt Bedenk, right guard Flock, left guard; Frank and Artelt, ends; Palm, quarterback; Wilson and Patton, half backs, and Vents, fullback. Dick Schuster. big tackle who was ineligible last year, will also be on deck and will solve one line problem, while Boyd, Ellwood and several other substitutes will be fighting hard for line berths. All of last years freshman squad will also be available and the 1922 yearling eleven was one of the best ever de- veloped at Penn State.

THURSTON'S FEAT IS NOT
 DUPLICATED IN BASEBALL
White Sox Pitcher Emulates Magician Namesalze; Retires Side on Nine
 Straight Strikes

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-The feat of Pitcher Thurston of the White Sox in retiring the opposing side on nine straight strikes is without parallel in major league ball as far as discerned by the records.
 Pitching against the top of the Philadelphia batting order in recent game, which the Athletics finally won in IS innings, Thurston retired the hard hitting As on nine pitched balls.
 The first pitch to Outfelder Me- Gowan, leadoff man, was called strike. He swung at the next ball and missed. The third was a called strike. McGewan went to the bench for the customary drink of water
 Up steps Chick Galloway, hard-hit- ting shortstop. Galloway swings at the first pitch and misses. The second pitch is a called strike. A healthy swing that fails to connect with the third pitch send Galloway bench- ward.
 The crowd is beginning to erthuse over the unusual feat
 The slugging third sacker, Sammy Hale, is next up. Hale swings at three perfect strikes. missing each and every one by a healthy margin.
 Thurston had retired the side on nine pitched balls, three called strikes and six missed strikes. Not so much as puny foul was made off his de- livery in that inning.
 Practically every one of the nine pitches was identical; the ball was II d corner of the plate, about six inches above the knee.
 T would have called every one of the pitches strike if the batters had failed to swing at them" remarked Umpire Hildebrand, who was back of the plate.
 T never saw pitching feat quite like it in all my years of experience" commented Connie Mack, manager of the Athletics.

WILL SET TIME FOR

Charity Corp. Directors Also Will Pass on Applications of Salvation
 Army and Jr. Achievement

The trustees of the New Britain
 Comm unity Charity corporation will
 meet in the Chamber of Commerce
 rooms at o'clock this afternoon to determine whether or not any new organizations will be taken into the association this year, the time of the campaign to be conducted this spring and how money will be raised if a deficit is incurred before the end of the fiscal year, March 31.
 Leon A. Sprague, secretary of the corporation. stated this morning that cnly so per cent of the desired quota was raised last spring. As n result the funds are low and if the calls for money and aid increase within the next two months it will be necessary to secure funds some way or another to complete the work of the present year. If the calls, however. are as few as they have been the past month there is sufficient money in the treas ury 10 carry out the work until the next campaign. NIT. Sprague said.
 The question of admitting the Sal vation Army and the Junior Achieve ment league into the corporation will be discussed.

50 STAMPS BRING LETTERS
 FROM EUROPE TO U. s. A.
Relative of John Street Man Writes There Is No Work in Strip Be-
 tween Poland and Germany.

It took GO stamps to convey two letters from Poland to Joseph No viski of 16 John street, due to the present differences between the Polish and the |. s. postage rates. One letter had 40 stamps of five marks each on it; the other letter had 20 stamps of 20 marks each. Both were letters which would go under a two-cent stamp in this coun- try.
 Noyiski's letters were from his brother, who lives in a neutral zone between Poland and Germany. He is required to obtain permission from the Polish government officials be- fore he can mail a letter across the boundary line.
 The -lfother intends to come to this country and. although he already has his passports and passage ticket secured, because of the fact that the quota from Poland to America, under the present immigration laws, has been filled, he must wait until next August before sailing.
 In his letter, the brother says there is no work in the section where he lives and there are no schools. He says the postal system is so unsatis- factory over there that the only let .ers he ever gets from his relatives across the water are those which are

MUST ACCEPT OR REJECT
 TAX LEVY IN ENTIRETY
Too Late to oncr Amendments Such ns Were Proposed at Finance and
 Taxation Board Meeting

Since no amendments to the busi- ness to come before the city meeting board Friday evening have been of- fered within the prescribed time, there is no course open for that body but to accept or reject in its entirety the proposal to lay a tax of IS mills to provide for departmental deficits.
 At the meeting Of the board of fi- nance and taxation, at which the rec ommendation for a tax levy was de- cidcd upon, opposition was voiced to making up such deficits as were caus- ed by the councils refusal to cut sal ary lists by 1 per cent. and 1t was stated that this fight would be carried to the city meeting board. Committee men F. s. Searle and W. s. Bacon favored refusing to pay city employees the present scale of wages, making it necessary for the employees to sue the city if they persisted in their demand. The charter requires amendments to be offered at least five days before the meeting and since the session is to be held Friday evening, this will not now be possible.
