V HOFFMAN'S HOLDUPS CRIP HARRISeURO Cockill's Crew Too Anxious to Win and Overlooked Several Good Chances By "I'mp" Overanxiousncss on the part of Cockill's crew lost an eleven Inning game for the Harrisburgers at Island Park yesterday. Reading won, score 4 to 2. It was the second time this season that Izzy Hoffman's bunch put chances. Reading played better ball than Harrlsburg. It was the best game Reading has played in three weeks, and was further evidence that Hoff man and his crowd handed Allentown four games in the last series. The lineup that represented Reading yes terday was a regular ball team. Al lentown played a picked team. John Fox pitched, and had the goods, but the deliveries were not sys tematic. Fox used his saliva twisters. They were responsible for at least one run in the first. An easy grounder to Fox was not fielded because Fox could not pick up the wet ball. In the final spasm, Iz/.y Hoffman who coijd not find the pill during tho game, was walked after two strikes and two balls were called on him. Coaching on the part of Emerson also figured in the loss of one run for Harrlsburg when he failed to stop Miller at third. All these mis takes will happen with bail teams. The game was interesting and a fast battle, the eleven innings being play ed in one hour and twenty-five min utes, a record for the Tri-State. Reading I'layed a t.ood Game Reading put up a brilliant battle, giving Ramsey the best kind of sup port. Ramsey was hit in one Inning; while Fox was touched up in two in nings. Reading's stars were Gleason and Cruthers. Whalen, McCarthy, Crulkshank and Emerson were mov ing with good results. Each team had a bunch of sensational plays. Reading scored two runs in the first inning. Joyce singled by Crist at third, and went to second on Hopjtc's out from short to first. Whaien had a chance for a double, but 'Jtoprßled the ball. Covaleski hit to Fox who was unable to get the ball in his Angers, Joyce taking third. Cova leski took second on Hoffman's out at first. Gleason's single scored Joyce and Covaleski. In the sixth Harrisburg scored two runs and tide up the game. Cruik shank singled to right. He stole sec ond and went to third on Roelzle's had throw to second. Cockill put down a slow hit to Ramsey and beat the throw to first, Cruikshank coming home. Cockill scored on Miller's triple. Tivo Runs and Victory In the eleventh, Joyce singled to left and went to third on Covaleski's single. Covaleski walked to second, Fox being asleep at the switch. Hoff man who had don£ nothing, was walk ed. Gleason singled, the ball going through Whalen's legs, taking an ugly lump. Two runs scored. Harrisburg :ould do nothing in their half of the eleventh. During the game a number Df valuable merchandise prizes for tpecial work was given as follows: Charley Miller, suit of clothes from Dives, Pomeroy and Stewart, for mak ng the greatest number of extra bases >n a hit; a leather dress suit case for making the most timely bingle, from he Star-Independent; and an order 'or five dollars' worth of merchandise it Doutrich and Company, for the first nan on the home team to make a lit.

Snodgrass will he replaced on first base by Fred Merkle, the old occupant. There is a rumor abroad that McGraw intends letting Bescher out. The manager is displeas ed with the ex-Red's showing on ac count of his individuality, in spite of the fact that his hitting continues good.

Y., Aug. 27.—0n1y four horses started in the King George V $5,000 for 2.14 trotters, the feature of. the second day's Grand Circuit races at the Fort Erie track this afternoon. The track is still hard and no records were shattered. The big race was won by Lassie Mc- Gregor, but for a time it was thought [Margaret Druin would drajv down first money. Lassie McGregor was install ed favorite and won the first two heats rather easily, Margaret* Druin being the contender. In the third heat Murphy's horse went to a bad break, going down the stretch, and Walter Cox's mare finish ed first. In the fourth heat Lassie McGregor duplicated and finished sec ond. The* fifth heat found Murphy out in front and the daughter of Jay McGregor winning from Margaret Druin with little to spare. McClos key was distanced in the second heat. After Oakdale had won the first heat of the Queen City stake for 2.08 trotters, the judges ordered all bets off on the heat.

SIXTEEN PLAYERS 111 ITIHL MITCH McLoughlin Wins Hands Down; Player Uses Ammonia to Get "Pep" Special to The Telegraph Newport, R. 1., Aug. 27.—The large field in the national championship was reduced to sixteen men yesterday, fif teen matches being played during the morning and one in the afternoon. Twelve of the matches were won In three straight sets, while the other three went to five sets. The Inman-H. C. Johnson match took exactly four hours to finish, while the Touchard-Whitney and Major- Thayer contest consumed a little over three hours. The first struggle finished was be tween "Sid" Thayer, of Philadelphia, and Addric Major, of New York, the latter winning, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, 10-8. Thayer put up a great up-hill game and pulled out of a bad hole in the fifth set, when the score was 5-2 against him, only to finally lose, 10-8. The Touchard-Whitney contest was extremely interesting, being between a back court and a net player, and was won finally by Touchard, 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 4-6, 12-10, after Whitney had been four times within a point of the match. The other five-set affair be tween F. C. Inman and H. C. Johnson, of Boston, settled down to a question of endurance, and although Inman was the most "fagged" of the two he "squeezed" out a victory after having consumed much aromatic spirits of ammonia, and then, that having little effect on him, he tried some regular household ammonia brought to him by "Dick" Williams, which almost burnt out his throat, but at the same time gave*him the requited "pep" to win. The championship court was given over to Maurice E. Mclaughlin and Irving Wright and proved to be about the poorest match of the day. Mc- Loughlin showed no mercy on his op ponent and literally smothered him, Wright only securing three games in as many sets. The scores were 6-0, 6-2. 6-1. The afternoon match on the big court between Robert Leroy and Karl Behr, both of New York, was a funny exhibition; both high-strung men, they showed their nervous tension in differ ent ways. Behr ranting around the court when he a shot and Leroy with his stalWng tactics created quite a little amusement to the spec tators. and it was not until four sets had been played that Behr, through sheer aggressiveness, was returned the winner, 6-2, 6-4, 2-6, 6-3. BITS OF SPORTS One gone. Must now win one more from Al lentown. Winning spirit was too strong in the first Inning. Mistakes will happen. It was due for Harrisburg to lose. How could Allentown win without Reading giving up? "Buck" Ramsey said he was a sick boy when he went into the game yes terday. John Breckenridge, the Harrisburg twirler with Wjlkes-Barre, won from Albany yesterday, allowing but two hits. Lolly pop day was the big feature at Island Park. Red Cross day will be observed to-morrow. Charley Miller pulled down a big bunch of prizes. Llnglestown and Penbrook will de cide honors for the three towns of Progress, Penbrook and Llnglestown Saturday afternoon In the final game of the series between the three teams at Llnglestown.

Walter Hagen, New Open Golf Champion WALTER HAGEN Walter Hagen. the 22-year-old Rochester professional who won Fran cis Oulmet's national golf title at Chi cago, says his success is due to heed ing Harry Vardon's advice to "shoot straight to the. flag." Hagen, like the famous English champion, sacrifices distance for accuracy and the results speak for themselves. Hagen, a well-built youth, weighing about 145 pounds, doesn't play a flashy game. Probably one of his best ac complishments is his steadiness. Op position must be very keen to rattle the steady-going young national champion. Hagen was born in Rochester, took up the game of golf early and most of the time played in his native city, although frequently he golfed in Can ada with his friend, George Murray, one of the leading Canadian players. Hagen first showed signs of his ability at Brookllne. TRI-STATE LEAGUE Lancaster Wins a Game Special to The Telegraph Lancaster, Pa., Aug. 27.

For Mrs. Roehm. who in private life is the wife of the owner and producer of this interesting vaudeville novelty, is looked upon as an authority on the subject of feminine health and de velopment. Those who have seen not only Mrs. Roehm but any one of the quintet of athletic misses must admit that they are Just about perfect phys ically. They all possess a glow of health together with beautiful devel opment and excellent muscular con trol that might make ninety-nine out of the average hundred women almost envious. Mrs. Roehm is a decidedly Interesting conversationalist and she is looked upon as an authority on physical culture for women. After the matinee to-day the ladies in the audi ence were invited to remain to hear what Mrs. Roehm had to say on a sub ject that is of interest to every woman. At the request of the management Mrs. Roehm consented to deliver her talk.

Kitchener Praises Work of English Soldiers London, Aug. 27—In his first speech In the House of Lords as Minister of War Earl Kitchener said that British forces in Belgium had been in contact with the Germans for thirty-six hours. He said that the war undoubtedly would strain the forces of the empire and entail sacrifices and intimated the possibility that the war might be long continued. "The terms on which I am serving," he said, "are the same as those under which some of the finest portions of our njanhood, now so willingly step ping forward to join the colors, are engaging. That is to say, my term of office is for the duration of the war, or for three years if the war should last longer than that. It has been asked why this period has been limited. It is because if this disastrous war be prolonged, and no one can fortell for a certainty its du ration, after three years of war oth ers will take our places and see this matter through." AT THE COLONIAL "Joseph in the Land of Egypt," a beautiful biblical feature film In four parts, will be a special attraction at the Colonial for the remainder of the week in the way of moving pictures.
