111- THE PITTSBURGH GAZETTE TIMES, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1916. mi WILL PLAY AGAINST SYRACUSE MfiDDnvj CAPT. FAY CAPTURES RIFLE CHAMPIONSHIP oe Schultz' Bat Working Overtime ITUfl MUTPHFQ In the Western Valley of Sunshine1 Ben Earl Wins 2:12 Pace in i ARE PLAYED IN 1 Athlete from Beltzhoover Is Compiling Fine Mark, For Consecutive Hits. By CHARLES J. DOYLE.

On tho highways and byways of life on this terrestrial globe one always will find that the rewards of perseverance are sweet. Witness the case of Joe Schultz, a young and deserv edly popular resident of Beltzhoover, who refused to be frightened by dark clouds when they loomed up on his baseball horizon. Joe, as every fan is aware, had serious trouble with his arm. His wonderful basehit smashes carried the true poetry of motion as they tore through the opposition, but unfortunately Joe found has arm ailment healing slowly. Finally Cal sent him to Los Angeles of the Pacific Coast League.

Out among the orange groves where they play baseball in the warm sunshine until November 1, Joe got a fresh start, and it i3 said his arm gives him no further trouble. His bat, however, is giving the pitchers of the circuit all kinds of worry and when the latest tabulation were made it was found that Joseph had hit safely in 19 consecutive games. Joe was up against a severe mental hazard In attempting to get his arm in RECRUITS FROM COAST LEAGUE DISSATISFIED Graduates Into Major Circuits Complain Ping Bodie May Not Join Athletics. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19.

Rumor has It that several of the Coast leaguers who have been sell to the big leagues this season are dissatisfied with the contracts offered them, and may refuse to sign. There is a provision in the laws of organized baseball that any player advancing from a minor league to a major league shall be given an increase in salary of at least -5 per cent. The big league magnates have observed this, but they offer contracts providing for an Increase of 25 per cent on a monthly basis. Thus a player getting $300 in the Pacific Coast league would get a contract for $375 in the American or National. But he gets seven months' work in the Pacific Coast league, making his season's salary $2100, while in the big leagues he would get but six months' work, making his sea-son's salary an actual increase of but $150.

or a fraction more than 7 per cent. It is whispered that Ping Bodie Is not at ail satisfied with the contract offered him by Connie Mac. Ping figures that if he cannot get a good salary in the majors he might just as well remain here. And the increase offered him by Mack is not sufficient to tempt Ping from San Francisco. Another player who cannot see any attraction in his contract is Swede Risbenr, who has been bought from Vernon by the Chicago White Sox.

Uisbcrg has been offered a contract which gives him the increase on a monthly basis. Hishcrg does not feel that he has been made a fair offer, and it is doubtful if he will sign with the Sox. WASHINGTON. Oct. 19.

By RICHARD GUY. JIM MORROW will probably be In the Pitt backfleld when the local eleven lines up against Syracuse University in the first football meeting be-, tween these two institutions tomorrow In the Syracuse stadium. Coach War- tier began to shift about his back Held following the return of the team from Annapaolis. and the past two days he nad Morrow working along with Hast- bigs, McLaren and De Hart. The fact that Morrow was wcrklns with the combination the greater part of the two afternoons, and that Jimmy De Hart was calling signals, is taken by those along the side lines that the Pitt coach has determined upon a new I combination.

Warner did not commit himself upon the shift, but it is quite likely the aforementioned players will form the backfleld against the Orange. Morrow has been used because of his peed and ability to head interference, and such a player is required for tne Warner system. Warner has practically eliminated the old-style play of the quarterback. He looks for a larger man. one with speed and power, and he makes him run with the ball as often as he does any other man in the back-field.

The pass from Capt. Peck at center is liable to go to any one man In the backfleld, and the quarterback does net handle it on an average of once In five passes. McLaren-who was badly shaken up In the game at Annapolis, reports him-elf in shape. He has not been in scrimmage this week, and he regards ilmself as in good trim. However, should he be unable to participate long In the play tomorrow Miller or Meadows would get back In the backfleld.

provided, of course. Morrow starts the game. Sies will j)lay Soppitt's guard at Syracuse. Earlier in the week Warner was undecided as to whether he would select Sies or SiedeL Ths Pitt team will leave here this morning and will reach Syracuse this evening about 8 o'clock. The student band will go with the team.

While the varsity Is away the Pitt Freshmen will play the Syracuse Freshmen tomorrow at Forbes Field. Coach Craig Dickson of the East Liberty Academy eleven has a backfleld that gives great promise. He has as quarterback Harry Lytic, a very fast-moving youngster with a good head. His right half is Jacobs, who was one the best high school players in the city last year while at Allegheny High. He is very promising.

Maisley, the left half, is an 18-year-old boy who etands 6 feet and weighs 180 pounds. He Is strong and fast, and can tear into a line with force. The captain of the team is another tS-year-old who Is developing Into a giant. He is Barrack, a six-footer, and weighing ISO pounds. Maisley comes from Homestead High and Barrack from Carnegie.

CARNEGIE TECH. Coach Walter StefTen of the Carnegie Tech football squad welcomed the rain of Wednesday night and all day yesterday, as it will have a doubly valuable' effect on the fortunes of his gridders. It gave him a chance to send his men through yesterday's workout with a wet ball to handle. The second reason for the elation on the part of the Plaid coach Is that the Tech gridiron will become a good deal softer for tomorrow's game with Allegheny College. No change from the scheduled practice was made yesterday.

The players simply went through the defensive tactics planned against Allegheny plays and then ran through their own new formations. The Tech players all are in good shape for the game. Altdoerffer, the fullback, left last night for Pitcairn to visit Dr. Collins who cured a number of the Skibos of charley-horse legs and other injuries this season. W.

J. WASHINGTON. Oct. 19. It will be a rearranged W.

A J. varsity that faces Westminster at College Field Savnrday afternoon. Two reasons will cause this. Some of the regulars are bruised and battered and they will be rested so that they will be in condition for Tale on October 28 and Coach Sol Metzger is. also, anxious to give some of his second string men a chance to show their worth and further season them.

Neither Tressel nor Whitehill will likely get in action. Tressel is slightly injurwd and the Red and Black coach does not want to take the chance of having his hurts aggravated. Whitehill is sound again. Jack Drew lias been ill the greater part of this week. Herbert Ross, the Marietta player who had an old Injury rehurt in the frame here last Saturday and has been confined in the Washington Hospital since, is showing improvement daily.

He has been visited daily by members of the W. J. team and Manager R. M. Murphy.

Today the entire squad remembered the injured player, taking a collection and sending him a huge bouquet. Honor Goes to Marine Corps Member in Jacksonville Competition. JACKSONVILLE. Oct. 19.

Outshootinsr 663 competitors at the Xa- tional Rifle tournament here today, Capt. W. Garland Fay, United States i Marine Corps, won the title of indi- vidual military champion rifle shot of the United States. Captain Fay's score in the contest, which is known as the President's match, was 290 out of a pos- sible 300 points. W.

H. Richards of New Haven, Quinnipiac Club, finished second with i 289 points and G. W. Chesley of the same club, was third with 2js5 points. The firing today was in the 1.000-yard stage, as the rapid fire and the 600-yard stages were competed last Tuesday.

At that time Capt. Fay led Richards one point, which advantage remained with the marine captain through the 1,000 yards firing, as both today had 98 points out of a possible 100. Besides the title of champion, Capt. Fay got a gold medal, cash and a letter of congratulation from the President of the United States. Silver and bronze medals and cash were the prizes for second and third places.

The pistol team match was won by the Mound City Rifle Club of St. Louis, with a score of 1,760. Indiana National Guards with 1,748 was second and Wyoming National Guard third with 1,739. Banners and cash were the prizes. G.

W. Chesley of the Qunniriac Club, Xew Haven, with a perfect score of 50, was high man at the conclusion of the 600-yard stage of the members' match today. Archie Farquharson, gunnery sergeant, marine corps; El-wood Groeebeck, first lieutenant Company Second New York Infantry, and R. L. Best of Idaho, tied for second place, each scoring 9 points.

ALLEGHENY COLLEGE. MEADVILLE. PA, Oct 19. Real fight characterized scrimmage this afternoon. All of the plays tried went on" with a bang, forwards went for good gains, halves circled the ends for long distances, and the ball waa carried through the line frequently an to good advantage.

Altogether th showing made by the men speaks well for their chances against Tech in Pittsburgh on Saturday. Coach Ham-mett used the lineup that he has been working with for the past week. The team probably about 19 strong will leave Mecdville tomorrow afternoon for Pittsbu-gh, so as to give the men a good night's rest before going up against the Skiboea. Coach Hammett has not yet given out his official lineup, nor the names of the extras whom he will take with him. MARIETTA.

MARIETTA Oct. 19. With the two hardest games on the schedule out of the way the Blue and White squad can expect easier going than they have had in the past two weeks. On Saturday the fast St. Mary's College team of Layton will be met.

All the members of the varsity came out of the W. J. game in good shape except Ross, who was ininr.rf to such an extent that he will not be in the game any more this season. Eaton was pretty badly bruised, but will no doubt be in the lineup Saturday, as he is getting into shape again. INDIANA NORMAL.

INDIANA. Oct. 19. (Special.) Light practice was held at Normal Park this afternoon in a final workout before meeting Mansfield tomorrow. Capt.

Pet-tier's men. with the exception of Joho-vics, Lentz, Mellican and C. Gile. are in fine condition and expect to capture the normal school championship. The squad 2 in number, will leave here Friday morning.

The coaches are worried ovr the outcome of the game, but the players are full of confidence. KISKI. SALTSBTTp.O. PA, Oct. 19 Coach Marks took advantage of the rain today and coached the team on handling, a slippery ball.

A lot of changes were made in the lineup. Clawson was again taken from end and put into the backtield. Lee did not report for practice today and Steele was put in his place. A signal drill followed by light scrimmage closed the day's workout. WEST VIRGINIA.

MORGANTOWN, W. Oct. 19. (Special.) No scrimmage was engaged in this afternoon, but there was no letup in the amount of work done on that account. On the varsity squad both Rodgers and Hite are among the injured.

They will both, however, be taken to Annapolis Saturday, but it is doubtful if they get to play. Practice consisted chiefly of Jong and incessant signal drill, not only the first eleven, but every man on the varsity squad was made to go through the plays until he knew his place perfectly.

19. Deprived of the privilege of witnessing a 100-mile automobile race this afternoon by the rain and cold the members of the Jovian Order attending the national convention here enjoyed themselves by taking over practically all of the local theaters tonight. Henry L. Doherty of Xew, York will be the ncrt reigning Jupiter of the order.

Coming in for second, third and fourth places respectively were Spring Maid, second in two heats; Young Todd and Peter Pointer. Peter Pointer, driven by Pop Geers, was a poor fourth in each of the three heats. Tha best time was made in the third heat, when Ben Earl, piloted by Childs. paced under the wire with the mile in to his credit. The most sensational performance of the card was the third event, a 2:07 class pacing race, won by Altawood with Murphy at the reins.

The little gray mare took the first, second and fourth heats, making only third place in the third. Her best time was in the second, Ben Earl came out between scheduled events in a trot to lower the track record of 2:05. made by Goldie C. last Tuesday, and did it easily, covering the oval in 2:04.

It will mean a close shave for the players, anyhow. If the Purple does not win a game this season fans may be afforded the unique spectacle, of a bearded batch of Beloit boys bobbing around the gridiron pe'tine forward passes tangled in their whiskers. The Rrim fact Is that piavers on the team have agreed not to shave until they win a game. It literally will be a "hair-raisinfr" experience for the boys If they go not win.

Has any one stopped to figure out just how much Owner Lannin made out of the Speaker pnle raft April? Speaking of high finance, which quite a few are, this pale was the record breaker of thern all. To begin with, Lannin got JjO.000 in cash.

In the next place, he saved $10,000 worth of salary with Walker in Speaker's place. In the Ihirri rlice. instead of break-around August, as he would have d-ine with Tris on liami hitting he played to big crowds through the West in September.

Oct. 19 InfasUle paralysis has invaded Harvard football. Tonight Edward C.inn of Winchester, a Junior and halfback on the second team squad, which is daily in crimmige contact with the varsity, was removed to the Stillman Infirmary with the dread disease. The case is reported as mild and the medical staff of the college states that there is no reason why the entire college should be quarantined. But as a precautionary measure the members of the football squad will be quarantined and under very careful supervision and will not be permitted to leave the vicinity of the university for the present.

Harvard plays the Massachusetts Aggies Saturday and the authorities of both institutions say hat there is no reason why the game should be cancelled or postponed. STATE COLLEGE. STATE COLLEGE. Oct. 19.

Twenty-two players in charge of Coaches Harlow and Whitney left here tonight for Philadelphia, for the Penn game on Saturday. This afternoon the three varsity teams had a long signal practice in which formations that will be used Saturday were gone over thoroughly. Clark again spent over a half hour's time punting. Clark has been getting distance to the ball and today's practice showed that he could place his kicks. The team will arrive in Philadelphia tomorrow morning.

A special train carrying over 800 students will leave here tomorrow night. The State headquarters will be at the Hotel Walton. WEST VIRGINIA WESLEYAN. BUCKHANNON, W. VA.

Oct. 19 (Special.) Wesleyan's workout today was extremely strenuous in view of the fact that the Reserves go to Fairmont tomorrow to meet Fairmont Normal in a hard game. In spite of this, however, a stiff scrimmage was ordered. For the scrubs Grimm and 1 Glenn made some good gains and were hard to stop. Harris was out in uniform for the first time since the W.
