GAME COMMISSION SPORTS OP ALUSQRTS AFTER "BLACK HAND' BENEFIT GAME FOR CHAMPIONS Although Attendance was Not What it Should Hare Been a Nice Sum was Realized. PRESENTATION TO K1TTREDGE Scranton's champions had their benefit game at the baseball park yes terday afternoon, the atendance being much smaller than it should have been.

Nevertheless, it is probable that the players will realize a nice sum from the contest, as it is understood that a treat many people bought tickets who did not go to the game. 'A strong team was presented 'toy the All Scrantons, who formed the opposing aggregation. Mike O'Neill played right for several innings and then finished the contest in the box. T. Crane, a.

Drofesslonal from Avoca, was on third, where he proved himself a good one, white M. McAndrews was on second and Ferris, of this city; on first, Crane, of the Villanova team, disported In centerfield while Moore, another college player, was in left, Young Boland, of this city, played at short. of the Montrose nine, started In to pitch, and did well until his arm gave out. The Scranton boys that there is the making of a fine pitcher in him. Young Steve O'Neill caught Whipple, and though clever, was far too light to handle the swift ones.

Sparrow umpired a satisfac lory game. In the midst of the contest the play i ers gathered about the home plate iwhile Manager Kittredge was present ed by the players with a silver shaving set and a beautiful set of brushes. Clarence Snyder was the orator of this event. The All Scrantons were first to score. After J.

Crane had struck out T. Crane whipped a single to left and moved to third on a wild throw over first by Beckendorf. He scored when M. O'Neill hit a high one to right that Robertson and Moran permitted to drop between them. In the third inning the All Scrantons scored again.

FOR THE BIG GAME. Special Train for These Wishing to See Carlisle State Contest. Special accommodations have been secured for the residents of this city Who will attend the big Carlisle Indian State College foot ball game to be played at the' Park, "WHkes Barre, on Saturday, October 3. This game promises to be the greatest gridiron struggle ever witnessed In Northeastern Pennsylvania. Th Indians, fleet of foot and always alert, have been practicing hard for this game, in fact the practice work is secret and some surprises are in store for the State College team.

On the other hand the State boyi say they have a fast team, the best in the history of the institution and will be ready to fight the Indians and win. Governor Stuart's presence Is also likely to bring many other notables from all parts of the state who will attend. Special excursion trains will be run from all towns within a radius of one hundred and fifty miles of Wllkes Ba Tre. DRIVING PENN HARD. Pennsylvania coaches are now driving the men in earnest.

Geo. Brooke, former coach of Swarthmore, yester 'day gave special coaching to thepunt iers'Tand drop kickers. Keinath, especially, is showing proficiency at drop kicking, sending ball between the posts frequently from around the 30 yard mark. All in all, however, the practice was poor as the scrub tore up the varsity line for big gains. Gaston is the only veteran back in the line, and the men will have to be worked incessantly to develop men of the Draper class.

The vacant date in Penn's schedule, October 31, has been accepted by Carnegie Tech. of Pittsburg, and they will play on Franklin field on that day. ANGELUS CAPTURES THE OCEAN YIEW Up a New Mile Record at Graves end of liSl 2 5 Hot Duel With Firestone. FIVE FAVORITES DEFEATED NEW YORK, Sept. 22.

Decisions. CINCINNATI, Sept. 22 At a meeting of the national baseball commission yesterday only five of the 18 minor league protests against the drafting of players were allowed. The protests allowed are the drift made by the Boston National league 'club from the Paris, 111., club, of Inflelder Staley; New York National league club from Savannah of Player Kieber; Cleveland American league club from Gulf Port of Player Lively; Cleveland American league club from the Houston club of Player Truesdale, and New York American league club from the Austin club of Catcher Killifer. In all the other cases the drafts as made will stand.

Hie Exouse. "Mr. Edison," said one of the great inventor's aslstants, "is going to abandon commercial work and go in for pure science. He will drop electricity for a time In favor of chemistry. He hopes that in these new fields he will not become a crank.

"Mr. Edison believes, you know, that over much research research that has no practical or commercial end in view tends to make a man eccentric. For example, he points to a friend in Flushing, a lifelong student of chemistry. "This old man, a retired musician, whenever there comes a ring at the door bell, goes to the door himself, a bottle of ink In his hand. Without a word of warning, throws the ink over the visitor's coat.

Then, in answer to the visitor's protests, he laughs and says; It's all right. Come this way, I have something to show "He leads his guest to the kitchen, dips a rag into a bottle of cleansing fluid of his own invention, and rubbing briskly the ink stained garment, he rattles away, as glibly as a street vender: 'This fluid is not corrosive. It removes, cleans and dissipates, with one application, all stains, smears, grease, paint' and so on for ten minutes or more. "This old man rarely, If evei, re stores these inky coats to their original condition. At every failure, he says reproachfully to his guest: wen, wen, wein it isn't all wool." Washington Star.

FLAYED ERRORLESS GAME NEW YORK, Sept. 22. The champions were on the warpath today and beat the Nw Yorks twice. Neither Ames nor Crandall could hold them and it was necessary to put. McGinnity in both games.

Kalbfus Says He is Satisfied That Italian Organization is Responsible for Many Violations. THREE GAME WARDENS KILLED Game Warden Lowry and his many assistant wardens of this section of the state are to rigidly prosecute all foreigners caught violating the fish and game laws. This is in line with the move of State Game Commissioner Kalbfus against the lawless foreigner and particularly the "Black Hand." "We proved conclusively that the 'Black Hand' has been operating in this state in the trial which ended in the conviction of Rocco Racca for the murder of a game warden at Newcastle," says Commissioner Kalbfus, "ana I am going to lay the facts before the attorney general so that the state can take steps to get rid of the organization." Dr. Kalbfus says that 14 of the same wardens have been shot at, four being killed in the last three years, and that this man was shown conclusively to have been a member of the "Black Hand" at the time he committed the murder. The evidence was given by Fred Surace, a "Black Hander," who turned against Racca.

The game commissioner says that the evidence should also go before the United States authorities, as it was testified that Racca committed 12 offenses in Sicily and entered this country on a forged passport. "The Italians have given us much trouble In our enforcement of the game laws and I have several times come into contact with the 'Black Hand, having received warnings from them about a year ago. The evidence at this trial I regard as the most conclusive I have heard yet regarding the operations of this band. Why, it was even shown that at a meeting held in HHItown, near Newcastle, 'Black Hand' leaders came from various states and held a council about Racca be cause of some of his said 1 he. The foreigners of this section have been particularly active in showing their disregard for the game and fish laws during the last several years.

It was only last winter that a game warden, one of the four killed in the state in the last three years, was shot to death above Archibald while attempting to arrest a foreigner who had been carrying on a war of extermination against protected birds on Sunday. The murderer escaped and was never taken to pay the penalty of his deed. Mirny incidents have been cited lately where wardens have been shot at, threatened with arms, and some even severely dealt with by the lawless Italians. Less than a month ago Game Warden Lowry took a force of four assistant wardens and went to Marsh )d in hopes of capturing a number of Italians who had drawn, a gun on a warden and who were known to have broken the game and fish laws. Fortunately for the foreigners they were not at home when the officers arrived.

So active have the foreigners become around Griffln lake, Clark's reservoir, Gravel pond and other bodies of water around Clarks Summit and Chinchilla that Assistant Game Warden Charles Singer, who patrols that section, has been forced to devote his entire time to guarding the ponds and streams. Within the last month he has arrested nearly two score of foreigners. IP NORTH END AND GREEN RIDGE. Jones and Morgan Milliner display Thursday and Friday. 23t3 Mr.
