MARYSVULE HAS
HARD GAME AHEAD
Rejuvenated Duncannon Team
Want Leaders' Scalp; Other
Important Contests
Marysvllle, Pa., Aug. 11.—As a re
sult of last Saturday's games the Dau
phln-Perry League race has been
tightened up considerably. Marysvllle
Is now leading by 1H games. Three
games are scheduled to-morrow. The
rejuvenated Duncannon squad will
Journey to Marysvllle; Newport will
go to Halifax and Mlllersburg will play
at Dauphin.
The Hallfax-XewDort game promises
to be a good one. Halifax has been
using a number of youngsters who
have been showing good form and will
give Newport a hard battle. Which
ever team wins to-morrow will occupy
third place. To secure this coveted
position Halifax will use Biever and
Minnich as its battery. Newport will
probably use Wertz and Emerlck in
the box with Hart, the Lancaster
catcher, doing the receiving end.
Dauphin Plays Mlllersburg
The Dauphin team expects little
trouble with Mlllersburg to-morrow,
but the Millers may put up a hard
fight to prevent the lower enders from
making a clear, sweep of this year's
series. Franks and Bufflngton will
probably be the battery choices for
the upper enders. Manager Lyter may
vise Gilday in the box, although it is
Flnnen's turn to work on the mound.
Waltz will catch.
The Marysvllle leaders are not sure
about Duncannon. The Duncannon
EQuad has been reorganized and may
put up a good fight. A new pitcher
may be used by the steel workers.
Marysvllle will use Wertz and Kurzen
\knabe.

Crackerjack While Rooting
For the Winners
Washington. Aug. 11. The annual
house baseball game went Republican
yesterday by a score of 18 to 13. It
was the first pemocratlc defeat in
four y^ars.
The Republican representatives
boasted that their well-balanced team
was responsible for the victory, but
the Democrats laid it at the doors of
a country Chautauqua. They said
the star Democratic pitcher, Yates
Webb, of North Carolina, who for
years has held the Republicans at his
mercy, fell over a bench while reach
ing out to shake hands with an ad
mirer after a speech in Virginia the
day before and sprained his left arm.
This alibi aroused derision among the
Republicans, who pointed out that
Webb is a right-hander.

STARS TO MEET
IN TENNIS FINAL
Church and Murray Qualify
For Crucial Contest; John
son and Griffin Win
Seabright, N. J., Aug. 11. —The East
will once more be pitted against the
West when the final round of the Sea
bright invitation tennis tournament is
played this afternoon. The two who
came through the semifinal round yes
terday were Robert Lindley Murray,
the Palo Alto star, and George M.
Church, of Tenafly, N. J., and the
winner of this match wil face Rich
ard Norris Williams, 2d, of Phila
delphia, in the challenge round for
the Achells cup on Saturday. Church
advanced by eliminating one of the
strongest of the California group now
invading the East. Willis E. Davis the
match going to Church in straight
sets, 6-4, 6-4. Murray's progress was
at the expense of the plucky little
Japanese, Ichiya Kumagae. It re
quired three sets for the Californian
to encompass the defeat of his Oriental
rival in a match that held many
moments of keen competition, in
which the credit to the vanquished
was little short of that gained by the
victor.
Johnston and Griffin Win
William M. Johnston and Clarence
J. Griffin, the national doubles cham
pions, reached the final round of this
event by virtue of a victory over a
pair of brother Callfornians. Eugene
Warren and Edwin McCormack. The
titieholders won the nrst set with
ease, 6-1, but there was a merry battle
for the points in the second encounter,
and Johnston and Griffin were forced
tb 12 games before they could claim
the verdict. Warren and McCormack
made their way to the semifinal
bracket through the default of the
Japanese pair, Kumagae and Mikami.
The latter sprained his ankle yester
day In his match with Davis and was
unable to play to-day.

Any Nose Knows
You can't tell how a tobacco will taste by the
way it looks. You can't tell by the way it listens,
either—when the other fellow tells you how delicious
it is. But there's one way to tell, before you smoke
it, just how it's going to taste. Here's the test that
can't fail—"put it up to your nose."
Shake a little TUXEDO into your hand and rub
it briskly between your palms until the friction brings
out the aroma. Then smell it. Test all the other
tobaccos you can get hold of —the more the better —in
the same way. One—and one only—will stand that test
That's TUXEDO. Your nose will tell you—
quick—that TUXEDO alone has the sweet, fruity,
appetizing fragrance that proves the flavor, the mild
ness, the complete satisfaction you're looking for.
The test is sure. Your nose never fools you. Your
nose knows tobacco —instinctively—unmistakably.
One pipe of TUXEDO—or all the pipes you can smoke
from morning till night—will prove that your nose
is right Put it up to your nose —today.

Special to the Telegraph
Binghamton, Aug. 11.—Mills, the
big first sacker from Harrisburg had
his big willow stick yesterday. His
hits in both games of a double-header
were factors In the victories for the
Islanders. Red Calhoun's leaders fell
in the first battle, score 7to 6. It was
a thirteen Inning struggle. In the
second Walter Blair and his sensa
tional bunch had everything their
own way.
Volz 'Wins His Game
Volz was a factor in the second con
test, keeping the hits well scattered.
Mills, whose doubles scored most or
the runs In the first game made his
home run in the second game, driving
in Elliott ahead of him. It was one
of the longest drives of the season.
Brown and Layden were also timely
hitters and fast on bases.
Connie Mack who brought his regu
lars here for an exhibition game to
day was a spectator at yesterday's
game. According to a special arrange
ment Scranton was to lay off at Utlca
to-day, and Harrisburg piay the game.

I WELLYS IT CORNER
By reason of two victories over
Binghamton yesterday, Harrisburg
moved up closer to Elmira, the latter
losing a game to Albany, score 3 to 2.
The Senators rallied In the last two
innings. DeVinney was hit in bunches
in the first and last Innings. Wllkes-
Barre put a crimp in Syracuse's pen
nant chances, score 4 to z. Doherty
was hit hard, but kept the bingles
scattered. Scranton had an easy vic
tory over Utlca, score 11 to 3. The
Utes put up a loose fielding game.
If baseball fans want better base
ball than they are getting in the New
York State League, they must go to
the majors. None of the recent games
in the International League have any
thing on those played on the Farrell
circuit. There is no denying the fact
that the old league Is the best, and
gives promise of doing still better next
season.
Harrisburg is represented in tie
races at Altoona by "Allle B," a pacer
owned by George Snyder. This big
winner is entered In the 2:17 class ana
was to have started yesterday.
