in Allison Hill Battle
In a four-inning Allison Hill

tho Reading team trimmed the Stan

a former Dartmouth college pitcher,
who is now teaching at the Academy,
held the Stanley player to one hit,
which was secured in the last inning.
For the Readingites, "Putty"
Lynch played well at first, while at
the bat he secured two hits. "Don"
AVertz was also there with the stick,
and twice cleaned up with timely
solid singles. The railroaders looked
formidable with last night's line-up,

ONCE you get this big, vital point firmly fixed in your mind, your
lubrication-problem will be settled for all time. No one oil could
be expected to be exactly right for every car undor every driving
condition. But —a group of four is broad enough to meet every need
of a motor, no matter which, what, when, where or how.
The Big Four group of Atlantic Motor Oils is the result of patient
research and exhaustive tests on the part of the oldest and largest
manufacturer of lubricating oils in the world.
This group is recommended unreservedly and emphatically. Ask
I your garageman which of the four you should use. Ask him also for
your free copy of the "Why" booklet, which goes into the subject of
car-lubrication in a big, broad way. If he cannot supply you, drop us
a postcard direct and we will mail it to you.
Atlantic Motor Oils increase the gasoline-mileage, too. Get

Under Tlircc Flags
(The Stiirs and Stripes—the Tricolor —the Union Jack.)
There they fly to the breeze,
All of the self-same hue.
Thrown to the waiting winds.
The lied, the White an,< 3 the Blue;
i One from the heart of France,
One from the English loam,
And one from the eagle's restinK plp.ee
Over the fields of Home.
Hovering over the crash.
All of the self-same blend,
on to the last frontier,
On to the story's end;
Roll by roll to the depths,
Staff by staff to the gale.
Wherever the clan goes driving 011
Or ship of the realm may sail.
Having loosed the so-called Dogs of War, they are now taking their hides
out in taxes.
Early Season Stuff
The start is a minor detail in a pennant race. In 1911 the Tigers won
eighteen of their first twenty games—and then linished ten games back.
One season Cleveland was 113 points ahead on June 20. Only to finish
fourth.
In 1906 the White Sox were in seventh place in July. They were world
champs in October. In 1914 the Braves were last in July. They were world
champs in October. In 1914 the Braves were last in July. They were also
world champs in October.
East season Cleveland and New Tork were out in front late in July. They
finished in the rut.
The Red Sox were fourth last' June. But they were a trifle better than
second in September.
Hope is permitted to spring eternal in the baseball breast up to late Juno
or July. But the form months are August and September. The stretch only
belongs to class.
The Need
Sir: All discussion as to whether ballplayers or bowlers or cricket players
are better bomb throwers is out of place. What we need is to find a set of
pitchers or outfielders who can stand on this side of the Atlantic and toss
cabbages and potatoes into England and France. PLATO PETE.
Oiitllrlding
"Is it true," asks F. R. 1... "that Speaker is a better outfielder than
Cobb?" As a defensive outfielder Speaker is the greatest wo have ever seen,
bar no entry in spiked shoes. Cobb is a fine outfielder, but in a defensive
way he isn't up to the Cleveland premier, who is better at handling ground
balls and a trifle more consistent in outfield range. Speaker is a first class
pitching staff without any further aid.
In Passing
England thought as we do, once.
That the war was far away;
Why get worked up to a froth
When we live beyond the fray'.'
Since no storming foe can land
< >ll our shores with hostile tread?
But the fields of France are thick
With the graves of English dead.
There used to be an old saying that the Game of Elfe didn't consist of
holding a good hand, but in playing a poor hand well. But the game of
life to-day consists of holding a good hand and playing it to the last bet.
Why?
"Why," asks a reader, "should some ball clubs be more brittle than
others? In age, condition and physique there is no great difference. Why,
for one example, should llie New York Yankees be more easily hurt than
the New York Giants or the Boston Red Sox?"
Perhaps there is an answer attached to this query, and perhaps there
isn't. Life is replete with quaint, odd little angles beyond the limited hu
man ken. And this is one of them. All we know is that the records show
that certain clubs are constantly broken up, while others rarely are. And
the records fail to go in for reasons. They stop at the bleak barrleado of
facts.
It has been suggested that major league clubs cut down their forces to
seventeen men. If this move is passed the Yanks will need conscription and
a quota of volunteers to complete the schedule—provided no sudden change
arrives in the allotment made by fate.
If the armies of Europe had suffered the same wounded list in propor
tion to Yankee injuries last year, over 8,000,000 men would have been re
tired in one season. And this isn't a guess or a random remark.
By holding on to the Hon. Stuffy Mclnnis the season's records begin to
indicate that Mr. Mack's dome of thought was working in its usual fancy
fashion. The Hon. Stuffy is so far beyond Collins, Baker and Barry that
the latter three can't even see his dust along the winding Highway of Swat
BARONE WINS OX POINTS

Utica, N. Y., May 15.—Harrisburg
came through yesterday with another
victory, defeating Utica. score 11 to
8. It was "a weird contest. The
Islanders walloped the ball and made
a victory certain when six runs were
scored in the fifth inning. The other
feature of the game was the loose
manner in which the visitors played
and won out. They had 10 errors
chalked up in the miscue column. I
Bunched Hits Count
Bunched hits in tho opening frame
brought a trio of runs. Just to be !
liberal the Cockill crew let the Utes
have two in the second in order to
make the game look like real base

by Cooper and Fergueson brought
110 scores for each team. The fourth 1
inning was Even Steven, bunch hits!

errors in those scored by the Utes.

New York State League will end 1
the first two weeks of baseball to
day. Runs scored by Harrisburg
will count in the summing up of the
total in tho award of tho season
ticket for the best guesser as to what |
the Islanders would do. Secretary)
Frank Seiss said the understanding 1
was for two weeks of playing. |
Judges were busy to-day enrolling I
the guesses in the order they were I

Secretary Frank Seiss to Harrisburg. 1
Local fight fans will be largely j
numbered at the big boxing show at j

MAGNATES POSTPONE TALK
ON LATER SEASON START;
TO COME UP NEXT FALL
New York. May 15. ln giving to
the press !ro results of the special
meeting held by tne National Lea
gue in New York on Saturday, Sec
retary Heydler stated that tho sub
ject of starting the championship
season later than the date decided
upon by the major leagues for tho
lust ten years was broached by two
of the magnates. While the matter
did not develop any extended dis
cussion nor were any details brought
out, there was a majority opinion
against such a move. Mr. Heydler
said by general consent the matter
was deferred until the annual meet
ing of the league in December, when
It will be thoroughly discussed from
every angle.
An Old Question
This is an old question that has
forced itself before the councils of
both leagues on numerous occasions
in tho past, but the weight of facts
has always been against delaying the
opening beyond tho middle of tho
second week of April. To prove the
postponements due to bad weather
this year do not ejtceed those of past
seasons the following figures are
given covering the last live years,
inclusive of 1917:
The total number of games post
poned in the National League this
year, including last, Saturday, were
twenty-seven. In the same period

conference to be held in the Swedish
capital by the Socialists.
M. Vandervelde Is In Stockholm, and
is said to have attended as a guest a

Keystone motorcyclists report 12
I entries to date for the big races on
the Lebanon Fair tracK on Decora
tion Day. Local cyclists have been
holding these events annually, and
large crowds attend from aU over
Pennsylvania. This year there will
be new aspirants for honors. Temopt-
I ing prizes are offered.
I in 1914 and 1916 tho identical num-
I ber of games were postponed. On
! the other hand, in 1916 only thir
j leen games were prevented by bad
weather and in 1915 less than half
i the games of this year; only twelve
were postponed up to and inclusive
l of May 12. Of course, the weather
; in 1915 was exceptionally open and
j forward and in that year neither St.
, Louis nor Cincinnati had a postpon
ed game.
Sonic localities Favored
Even in the worst years there are
always localities tflat are specially
favored. For instance, in 1914, when
I this year's record' of twenty-seven
postponements was equaled, there
was not a single postponement at St.
Louis and only oiw In Chicago. St.
! Louis has been greatly favored by
| early spring weather. Only five
] games have been postponed in the
Mound City in the last five years,
and three of these were this season.
Pittsburgh also has been highly fa
vored, as only nine games have been
| postponed in the Smoky City in five
I years. As a matter of fact, statis
tics prove that the West in more fa
j vorcd by spring conditions than the
I East. In Chicago and Cincinnati
in the same period thirteen games
in each city have been postponed,
as against eighteen each in Philadel
phia and New York, sixteen in Bos-
I ton and nineteen in Brooklyn.
Interesting Schedule For
Harrisburg Academy Players
Coach Phipps, of the Harrisburg
Academy squad, has planned the fol
lowing schedule:
On May 19, Gettysburg Academy, at
Gettysburg; May 26, Columbia High
School, at Columbia; June 2, Tech
nical High School, at the Reservoir
Park. The team is: Robert Shrelner,
captain; Karle Bortell, Robert s\er
cur, John Lynch, Dana Gurnett, Cleve
land Hicks.
These men may be challenged and
the person winning two out of three
sets takes the player's place on the
| team whom he defeats.
