Wilkes-Barre, Pa., May 4.—The ban has been placed on Sunday baseball in Luzerine county. Sheriff Lewis P. Knlffen, who hit the trail while Billy Sunday was conducting a campaign in this city a year ago, yesterday In formed William 11. Kessler, secretary of Wilkes-Barre New York State League, team, tht he would not permit iny Sunday baseball In the county. Secretary Kessler immediately called off the Wilkes-Barre-Troy game sched uled for yesterday afternoon at Boule vard Park. During the afternoon Sheriff Kniffen, with his deputies, made, a tour of the, county and threatened to arrest teams that insisted on playing. Not a game was permitted in the county where an admission fee was charged. j 1 ■KADttII«RTItIM rail 1 SHIRTS SIDES & SIDES BASEBALL OPENING STIRS Hp " 1,, i Central Pennsylvania League Has Auspicious Opening Large Crowd on Hand to Boost the Game at New Cumber land and Hrhspire; Games Were Fast Prying the lid off the Central Pennsylvania Baseball League season Saturday was one of the biggest events fans in neighboring towns have witnessed in many years. New Cumberland and Highspire had the first chance to celebrate. It was like a national holiday. Flags were unfurled and any person who talked anything but baseball was considered a "down and outer." Pa rades were the order in both towns. Concerts were also held at the baseball grounds. At New Cumberland the president, F. A. Steese, was on hand to boost the game. u. u Th ? secretar >' of th e league, J. M. Donavan, looked after the game at Highspire where there was another big crowd. The Central Pennsylvania if.'To. l league was organized to till a long felt want. Next Saturday Mlddletown ahd Steelton will have opening features. Highspire Champs Bumped Steelton : in Exciting Battle That old-time "pep" game which is not decided until the last man is out, was seen at Highspre on Saturday, when Steelton A. C. went the first [route to defeat, score 7 to 6. Steelton had the game tied up and then let it [slip slowly out of their hands. I It was the opening game in the [Central Pennsylvania baseball league jand was witnessed by a crowd much I larger than attended the Tri-State | games last season. The turnstile showed that 482 people paid admis sion to the Highspire baseball field and the big crowd of rooters included many Steelton folks and a large rep resentation of women. Right here it should be sain that Highspire boasts of more enthusiastic women baseball rooters than any town of its size in the State. The game started at 3 o'clock, after the Highspire band, club officials and players from Steelton and Highspire, and backers, paraded the principal thoroughfares. Dr. H. McDanel, an enthusiastic baseball fan, tossed out the first ball and Umpire Deckard called "play." The game started well for Steelton. Taylor who has had little chance to warm up was an easy proposition and in the second inning he went to the tall timbers, his arm having played out. Saylor, who followed, was all to the "mustard," and while he had some bumps, this young fellow became stronger each inning. It was a great battle for five in nings during which Highspire man aged to connect with Biever in several bunches, pulling out a run and vic tory. There was some loose playing on both teams, but errors were not chalked up unless they were rank. Players showed speed, and the work of "Dusty" Rhoades and Saylor was a feature. The work of each team in dicated something still better as the season advances. The score is as fol lows: STEELTON A. C. R. H. O. A. E.

Band and officials en route to the baseball grounds after parade through the principal streets. The New Cum berland band was a big attraction at the game. New Cumberland Fans Get First Victory; Home Runs a Factor New Cumberland opened the Cen tral Pennsylvania League season at home Saturday with victory. Middle town lost, score 6 to 4. The game was preceded by a pa rade and the raising of the pennant won last year. The New Cumberland band led fifty automobiles carrying President F. A. Steese of the league, the players of both teams, New Cum berland club officials and influential backers of the game in New Cumber land through the principal streets. The ceremonies at the ball park were much after the fashion of grown up league openings. With the band playing "Under the Double Eagle," President Steese run up the pennant. The large and enthusiastic crowd, patient with the formalities, was eager for the umpire's "play ball." furgess Wilson tossed out the ball. Nine rounds of gilt edged game followed. New Cumberland maintained a more or less comfortable lead. However, there was no time when a home spec tator could lean back in his seat and satisfied as to the final outcome. Both teams put up a game that needed ' close watchiner. The box score shows the game in | detail but it doesn't explain the stimu- I lus responsible, perhaps, for the high | percentage of home runs figuring in the score. Home runs have a money value with the New Cumberland team. The batsman who tallies a home run, or some home runs, draws a dollar apiece for same. Out of a total of four home runs made in Saturday's game, New Cumberland players were cred ited. or rather paid, for three dollars' ! worth. Three trips did the ball make | over the "21,000 homes" of the Tele graph fence ad; three times did the band blare out, "This Is the Life, This Is the Life." Read the score: MIDDLETOWN R. H. O. A. E.
