SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH MAY 9, 1914
WRIGLEY'S TIGERS WIN
ONIJY TRI-STATE GAME
Special to The Telegraph
Reading', Pa., May 9. Trenton
grabbed the first game of the series
with Reading yesterday after six fast
innings. Score, 1 to 0. It was the
only game in the league.
The game was stopped on account
of rain when Trenton was at the bat
in the seventh inning and Baker put
the first one over on Heist for a strike.
Rasmussen, the big Swede, was on
the rubber for the Tigers and pitched
great ball, allowing Reading only two
hits, one of which was scratchy. He
was opposed by Oscar Baker, whom
Reading obtained from the Athletics,
and the latter also pitched a clever
game, keeping the six hits scattered.
The score by innings:
Trenton 0 0 1 0 0 o—i 6 i
Reading 0 0 0 0 0 o—o 2 0

An up-to-date touch is seen in the
announcement of this week's "Pleas
ant Sunday Afternoon" meeting which
appears in the sporting pages of this
issue of the Telegraph Instead of
among the church notices. This is
in line with one of the main objects
of the Allison Hill Men's Christian
Association which aims to reach the
man who does not customarily at
tend church. The speaker for to
morrow is John H. Farmer, an up
to own laymen, whose subject is an
nounced as "What's the Score?" al
though it will not deal with our na
tional pastime but refer to the more
serious "game" of life. Mr. Farmer is
employed at the Lucknow shops of
the Pennsylvania railroad, where he
is well and favorably known. He ts
a fearless speaker, nnd his address is
sure to be well worth hearing. Harry

MUST AWAKE
In Time to Vote at the
J. Benjamin Dimmick gll^HH
For U. S. SENATOR
The organs of the Democratic and Washington Parties are waiting breathlessly for
the nomination of Penrose, when they will sweep in and shatter the Republican strength in
Pennsylvania. Remember public sentiment is against Boss Rule. Penrose must be defeated
to preserve the Republican Party.
In J. Benjamin DimmicU we have a leader bold enough to accept the challenge of Pen
roseism—a man of high character, of sound scholarship, of clear vision and a complete under
standing of State and national issues.
By nominating J. Benjamin Dimmick, we can remove the only issue which the Washing
ton and Democratic Parties have and thus we can insure a normal Republican vote and victory.
Every day the army of men is increasing, who believe that the Republican Party on May
19th must choose between
PENROSE and DEFEAT or DIMMICK and VICTORY
