Newspaper Page TextIN FINAL BATTLE HARRISBURG WINS Susquehanna Lacks in Hits; Fair Rooters Make a Big Hit Harrlsburg's final practice game was played yesterday with the Susquehanna team. The Suskles lost, score 8 to 0. £nd thereby hangs a tale. South Har ■f burg's champion team had every thing but hits. Outside of the fast work by Harris burg and the effective pitching by local twirlers an interesting feature was the rooting by a young woman on Ihe grandstand. No baseball fan has stood by a team more loyally than did this ardent supporter of Susquehanna's cause. Mark Adams pitched for three In nings and in that time fanned six batters. Gohon was not so successful, Williams getting a hit, but O'Neil, the Philadelphia twirler, who arrived yes- | terday, showed he had something in the way of puzzling southpaw tlingers.

'OFF 60ES THE LID 01 THETRI-STATE Royal Will Throw Out First Ball; Parade From Square to Island I Harrlsburg vs. York, Island Park, I Wednesday, May 6, 3.15 p. m. Off goes the lid of the Tri-State to-morrow. No need to worry about [the rain which started last night and j continued the best part of to-day. Those clouds filled with moisture will likely be pushed far enough away by to-morrow. Old Sol is expected to do the rest in time for a successful start of George Graham's league to-morrow. Baseball fans in Harrisburg and surrounding towns are ready with an overflow of rooting spirit, and it is to be one continuous boosting game this season, not only in Harrisburg but throughout the Tri-State. Reports from all Tri-State towns to-day were encouraging. The youngsters promise something interesting. Arrangements for the opening game in Harrisburg were completed last night. It promises to be a memorable event, unless the weatherman falls short in his forecast. All over the city there is a desire to see Harrisburg's squad at work. Due to the uncertainty of Governor Tener's being in Harrisburg, the offi cials last night arranged for an open ing address by Mayor John K. Royal, who will also toss out the first ball. The parade will start from Market Square at 1.30 o'clock. Automobiles will be provided for the Harrisburg and York team and Harrisburg offi cials. The Commonwealth Band has been engaged and will give a concert in Market Square from 1 o'clock until the parade moves. Following a concert at Island Park the flag-raising ceremonies will take place, and then will come the parade of the two teams across the field, the tossing out of the ball by Mayor Royal, and the game will be on. York will send 200 rooters to Harrisburg for thU game, which will start promptly at 3.15. Harrisburg Man Wins Promotion in the Telephone Field John C.

The schools and organizations met at 3 o'clock and the line of three abreast was over a mile long. In the line were seen American Hags and hymns were sung as the army of Christian people marched onward. The tabernacle, which seats 3,000, was entirely filled and many remained on the outside. The choir of 300 voices, directed by Professor Hemminger, was the delight of all. The Rev. Mr. Nich olson delivered a masterly address on the subject "What Ts a Revival?"

BRUMBAUGH URGES VOCATIONAL SCHOOL Philadelphia Superintendent Says That There Is Necessity For Such Lines The necessity of the vocational and continuation schools and a greater co operation with the teacher on the part of the parents were urged by Dr. Mar tain G. Brumbaugh in addressing the Walnut Street Business Men's Associa tion in Philadelphia yesterday. "Illit eracy is a' menace to our democracy," stated Dr. Brumbaugh. "Unless our people can read and write we cannot play the game. The great need Is to recognize what our boys can do. Of course, as things are now, somebody somewhere knows what the boy can do. But that is not enough. The qualifications of each boy should be known, there should be nothing hap hazard about his selection for a posi tion. "It is a foolish thing to have a law which declares a boy cannot work be fore he is 14 nor until he is 16, without a certificate. It results in the proposi tion that one (lay we have a st ident in school dealing with theory and the next day a working boy dealing with practical things. The change is too sudden. There should be a gradual transition from the days of learning to the days of earning. The continua tion schools provide for this. "Another problem is what are we to do with the leisure of our working people. Working hours have been shortened and leisure hours length ened, and here in Philadelphia we have made but little provision for the leisure of our people. It should be made easy for them to find pleasure in the hours they are not at work. In the public schools we are trying to teach the children that they must live with knowledge, live to earn and live to enjoy their leisure." Dr. Ryan Arrives Safely in Capital Under Guard Special to The Telegraph Mexico City, May 6.—Dr. Edward W. Ryan, of Scranton, who was con demned to death at Zacatecas, arrived here late last night. He was taken from the train by a strong guard of so!dlers, which accompanied him, and conducted to the National Palace. He was expected to reach here on Satur day, and the delay in his arrival caus ed some anxiety. On Sunday night it was announced by the War Depart ment that he had got only as far as Aguas Calientes. To-day at the National Palace it was stated that Doctor Ryan would be handed over to-night to the care, of the Brazilian minister, who is looking after the interests of the United States, and who later will put him on board a refugee train for the coast.
