With Scoreless Game;
Pitchers' Duel
The Galahad Recreation Club and
the Beading nines opened the Hill
League season last evening on the
Seventeenth and Chestnut Street dia
mond, with a four-Inning, no tally
contest. Prior to the game the 600
people present participated in a flag
raising during the singing of the
"The Star Spangled Banner."
The contest was a pitching duel
between George Levan of the Read
ing team, and "Bill" Fortna of the
opponents. Out of a possible 12 outs
during the four innings, Bevan took
the measure of 9 of the Galahad bat
ters. Forma was almost as effective,
making live Railroaders fan the air.

Hitting on Short End •

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
TECH SENIORS
WIN ON TRACK;
NEW RECORDS
, Technical high school seniors car
ried off the annual interclass meet
on the Island yesterday afternoon,
scoring 52 points. The fieshmen
were second with 41 tallies. The
sophomores followed with 24. while
the juniors brought up the rear with
15 points.
Gilbert Ebner, a sophomore, broke
( the only record, when he made a
leap in the broad jump of 21' feet, 8
inches. The previous State high
school record for the Island was 20
feet 6 inches. Harry Eyster, a sen
ior. was also ahead of that mark,
with a jump of 21 feet.
The fourth year lads were handi
capped by a rule allowing each indi
vidual to enter but two events. This
gave the first year boys a chance to
enter their stars in as manv of the
competitions as they desired. As a
result they secured an early lead
which they held during 10 of the
events. In the eleventh and twelfth
events, the two mile run and the
high jump, the seniors scored 14
points, and clinched the honors.
Track Was Heavy
Many of the seniors 'would have
been able to pile up their scores had
they been allowed to compete in
more events. Carl Beck was a star,
and a big factor in running up the
Freshman total. He tallied 16 points
carrying off first place in the shot
put, javelin throw and high hurdles,
while he finished fourth in the broad
Jump.
The track was heavy and the time
was comparatively slow. The relay,
hammer throw and discus throw
were held over until to-day because
of the lateness of the hour. As a
result of the meet, Coaches Peet and
Hill made their selections for the
State high school meet that will be
held at State College over the week
end. The winners with the time in
yesterday's meet were as follows:

On Beyond
"America in, this war is only following a dream." —Berlin exchange.
So we shall follow as brave a dream as ever a dreamer knew;
A dream that leads out endless years through the sweep of an unknown
track;
And whether the way be primrose-starred, or whether the road be rue,
We shall face the sun and the storm that wait with never a turning back.
Brave hearts and bold for the'journey here. For none but the stalwart soul
Has a place in line for the quest now marked for the rollcall of the troop—
Xo craven knight with a shaken lance who dares not seek the goal,
Though it lay where the light of the world is dim and the flags of the
ages droop.
Brave hearts and bold that only know when the silver bugle calls,
When the roll of the drum breaks on the rest in the gray of the dawn's
first light—
That the way leads forth through the crimson rain to the top of the frown.-
ing walls,
Where death is the fairest fate to know when it comes in a gallant fight.
We shall hear the voice of the night that calls for rest for the weary feet;
And Love will come with a summer rose and eyes of the rain-wet biue,
Of violets deep in the iields of May, and a song that is ever sweet
From lips that plead that we stay our course till the spell of, the spring is
through.
But the land and sky and the seas beneath are red as the wrath of hell,
From the blood and flame that have stained all life with a crimson world
at bay.
But he shall hold to the road's far end, whatever the bitter spell,
Till life and peace nd the things worth while again have the right of way.
Tlic Player's Future
If baseball is stopped next season, as Ban Johnson, figures it will be,
provided the war is still raging, the player will be up against it to a
certain extent, but he Wjlll have no trouble earning a living. With the war
on a year from now there will be no trouble at all for a husky, able-bodied
citizen to secure a job at good living wages. The Cobbs and Speakers, the
Johnsons and Alexanders will not be raking in from $12,,000 to $13,000 a
year, but most of the high-salaried stars have enough laid aside to tide
over a break in the schedule. Those not married will be in the army or
navy by 1918 and those who are will have no great difficulty in diving head
long into steady work. It will not be quite as cheerful as rapping out three
base hits, but if this war is on for another year there will be very little
cheerfulness anywhere else.
The Spell of Jack Coombs
The system which, certain pitchers have of establishing a spell over cer
tain ball clubs is a queer and weird adjunct of the N. P. A number of years
ago Tom Hughes, the first, could beat Cleveland with his left hand, and
Tom was a right hander exclusively. One season he shut out the Cleveland
club five times in a row.
Richie had the Giants festooned and garlanded for a few years, but
no pitcher in the game has e\'er exorcised a greater spell over one club than
Jack Coombs has employed over the aforementioned Giants.
The second wherein John Wesley looms against the horizon the Giants
are a battered and a beaten division. Their goat immediately goes far
I away, bleating a song of exile and despair.
I Jack got his first bead on the Giants back in 1911, toiling then for the
'Macktncn. He rumpled them into a shapeless mass that fell.
Later on he assumed a pitching attitude with the Dodgers. Since his
arrival under the Brooklyn banner the Kennebunk Kxpress has continued
to run over the Giants and roll their mangled bodies into the first waiting
ditch.
The Giants can beat Alexander and Rudolph and Vaughn and Toney and
all the others at stated intervals, but against John Wesley Coombs they wilt
away from the firing line. •
Since he reached the National League Coombs has beaten the Giants ten
straight times. He lias them spellbound and reeling. Coombs is no pipe
for any club, but the others beat him here and there. The others do, but
not the Giants. In the history of baseball we fail to recall another case
where a pitcher's mastery over one club was so decisive for so long a spell.
Johnson and the Yanks
In the same way, with a reverse twist, Walter Johnson bumps against
a tough barricade when he faces the Yanks. The Yanks, never a hard
hitting array, have always been tough birds for Johnson to snare. One dav
last season Washington gave Johnson five runs in the first two innings
Even this allotment \yas not enough.
The Yanks have already hooked Johnson twice this season and the cam
paign is still young and beardless.
They don't always hit the Speed Mandarin hard, but they manage to
annoy him intensely one way or another.

There may be a better fighter for his weight, and his inches than Johnny
Kllbane, the Buckeye Grenade, but so far he hasn't loomed against the sky
line. If it wasn't for the bother and annoyance of carrying two crowns and
a brace of pcepters Johnny would have no great trouble ln%dding an addi

NO BEAN BALL PITCHER
JACK BARRY'S TEAM;
ACCUSE TWIRLER MAYS
Boston, Mass, May 9. —Jack Barry,
Bed Sox manager, declares there is
no truth in the report circulated by
American League batters that the
Bed Sox pitchers, especially Carl
Mays, are guilty of using the "bean
ball." Barry says that he knows
none of his pitchers has intention
ally aimed a ball at a batter's head
and that the report is all bunk.
Frank Thrasher, the young Athle
tic outfielder, has accused Carl Mays
of trying to bean him on several
occasions and of succeeding on one
of them. Thrasher says that he
managed to dodge a number that
were aimed directly at hts head, but
that one of them he could not avoid
and was severely beaned. Leo Ma
gee made a similar charge against
Mays a few weeks ago and by most
accounts Mays was guilty.

tactics on the ball tlold and he has
declared that he. will rid the league
of anything of the sort. He has in
structed his umpires to keep a sharp
eye on anything that might be con
sidered a deliberate effort to bean a
player and to banish all twirlers who
are found guilty of such a thing.
Jack Barry believes that his Red
Sox are being unjustly accused and
that there is something of a con
spiracy among the other American
League teams to "get tho Red Sox"
at all costs. Barry points out that
he has the best behaved and most
gentlemanly crew of ballplayers in
the business and that all who say
they are using such tactics speak
without proper deliberation. How
ever this may be. it is clear that the
"bean ball" must be dismissed and
that offenders hereafter will be
properly published.
