Harrisburg lost to j Scranton, score 3 to 1. It ought to' have been a score of I to 0 for Har- i risburg, with a probability of a no- j hit game for "Buck" Ramsey, the veteran twirler. But things do not always happen the way they should. . Ramsej had as his opponent Keeley, j The latter used a "spitter." It was , working successfully yesterday.

He was called home to Bridgeport,' 'onn., by death. Elliott was not at short. He was called back to college to get his marks that will bring him a diploma later on. Holmes played a good game and is likely to do bet ter to-day. Boley lost opportunities . at short. However, ail the miscueg happened during the first two in nings. It was a battle royal after that and the game was full of thrills. | Purtell's single to center, sacrifice I by Brenner and Strait's single to center brought one run for the Miners in the first.

If married men are not made sub ject to the first call, practically the entire Sox team will be exempt. The, roster boasts of only six bachelors. Some of these are mere youngsters. Jourdan being twenty-one years, Jenkins twenty-four and Felsch twenty-six. Lynn, Scott and Faber are twenty-seven, twenty-nine and twenty-eight respectively. Five of the Cab regulars are abso lutely exempt from the first call, whether or not married men are pressed into service. They are Dem aree. Zeider, Wilson. Wolter and Archer.

TENER FAVORS DAYLIGHT SAVING; BIG HELP TO BASEBALL PRESIDENT JOHN K. TENER President John K. Tenor, of the National League, Is a strong advo cate of (he proposed daylight saving plan. He believes it will be a great benefit to baseball. In a recent issue of the Baseball Magazine he says: "The general merits of the propo sition are conceded on every hand; Indeed, 1 have yet to hear person ally or have the information con \eyed to me that the "daylight sav ing plan' has been seriously opposed by any person, society or corpo ration. Perhaps there are those who have or will oppose such a propo sition from the standpoint of per sonal interest, but I apprehend that compared with the almost universal approbation which the scheme seems to have, any opposition that may de velop against its adoption in this country will be slight and entirely lack concerted action. "It requires only a moment's thought for one to realize that there are many viewpoints from which this question may be discussed in aWdition to the three cardinal divisions of economy, efficiency and health which almost instinctively suggest them selves. \ot a Now Thing "We all know that the subject is not a new one. It has been dis cussed and argued for fully a quarter of a century in this country, hut it often takes heroic measures or tragic events to overcome precedent and tradition when innovations and un tried theories are advocated for ac tual practice. This was the case of daylight saving in Europe where a terrible war wrought such a change almost without discussion and cer tainly with little opposition. "The subject of 'Daylight Savins' should appeal strongly to e,very man, woman and child who loves the open, who finds the greatest charm in life that of seeking recreation outdoors, whether this recreation is a partici pation in some form of physical ex ercise that has sport as-its basis or whether it be from the mental pleas ure and stimulation derived from witnessing some sort of athletic ac tivity.

In i our modern day the greatest sport- I loving people in the universe are those of the English-speaking race, on which the sun never ceases to shine and in whom the spirit of lib erty is more strongly implanted than in any other people since the dawn of creation. "The American game of baseball never has had an equal as an out door sport and It is hardly conceiv able that it ever will. It seems that this game of our own invention in cludes and embraces every essential that stimulates the mind, re-creates tho exhausted faculty, amuses the jaded sense, revives the sluggish j blood, makes strong the weak mus ] ele and impels a vigor and health to jthe body that no other form of ex ; ercise combing the element of sport jean accomplish. Popular In n Day It became popular almost in a day, was by common and universal con sent and indeed mandate, dedicated as our national game. Not by acci dent is it so-called, nor is it a mis r<midr. It has increased in popular ity and gained in volume of compe tition and interest as the years have rolled on until its future immensity cannot be foretold. Thousands of young Americans engaged in the game of baseball either as a means of pleasurable ex ercise and recreation or as a means of honorable livelihood, while mil lions witness the playing of games, both professional and amatuer. All professional games are played under what is known as organized baseball, a system that represents the consummation of fifty years' work by the most able and far-see ing men who have been identified with the sport in that period of time. This system has placed baseball up on a solid and enduring basis, ife in tended to widen its scope to the largest possible national extent and to make It tho typical and represent ative sport of the American people. System for Conservation It is in essence a vast system for the conservation and. protection of investment, for the steady and lu crative employment of a small army of athletic Americans and for the maintenance of the absolute integ torv of the sport of any nation. Tear ization, its legislation and exposition, and in all these respects it lives up to its ideals and fulfills its purposes to a degree unexampled In the his tory of the spora of any nation. Tear down the fabric cf organized base ball and chaos reigns in your na tional game. A vast part of the world's work is accomplished by the aid of day iight. This is nature's provision to assist us in our daily tasks. And the same is true of our outdoor sports, amusements and recreations. Most of them are played and enjoy ed while the sun is shining. Any device or method that can add to the sum of human happiness, enjoyment, amusement and recrea tion in God's free sunlight and pure air should receive the aid and sup port of the great mass of people, and I take it that the proposition under discussion will have the effect of giv ing us one hour more of daylight during the summer months, when the call of the open is irresistible, and that millions may find more time for the physical and mental en joyment derived from every form of outdoor sport and amusement that is permissible only during daylight hours."

THE OLD, OLD TURN "I inten.d to retire from the game in a few months as tho unbeaten lightweight champion."—Freddie Welsh, April 5. J Unbeaten Champion! That's the old dream, Old as the suns Or the red stars that gleam; Old as the world Is, Old as all time: Old as the metre Of this lagging rhyme. Unbeaten Champion! So Jeffries said When from the highway Of battle he sped: That's what they all say On through the years. While they still dally And look to the cheers. Unbeaten Champion! Each In his turn Springs the old story That no man can learn; Just one more battle, Then, out of the game; I'nbeaten Champion? What is his name? ONE BY ONE Gans—Nelson—Wolgast—Ritchie—Welsh—and now Leonard. Just how does the new lightweight king compare with the others? This is a query that our old pal Doc Time alone can answer. Leonard, of course, isn't a Gans. Not yet, at least. He hasn't the rugged capacity of Nelson, nor yet the savage, tearing-in smash of Wol gast. He may not be one of the great lightweights, but he is very good— and he should be quite a trifle better later on. Just figure this in: Within a few months he knocked out two of the best lightweights in the game—and in less than ten rounds. To turn these two tricks he needed the punch. He can hit and he can box. There are few who have been any faster. Whether or not he has the rugged capa city to last as many of the others did is still to be proven. But outside of Johnny Kilbane there is no one now at hand to *:lve him an even battle. And it is a very doubtful matter whether or not Kilbane can master him. A melee between these two should round out the best engagement of many years, provided they swing in line over the 20-round trail. THE UNBEATEN DREAM As for remaining an unbeaten champion, retiring with the title intact— it can't be done. Jim Jeffries overwhelmed all opposition and withdrew. The California bear remained away from the field for four or five years. But they lured him back an.d he finished with his face in the resin. Jack Johnson was another who was to retire before he was beaten. The big Zulu* was never to know the conqueror's heel. But he, also, fell for "the one last fight." .And against a supposedly raw product the big black finished on his backNvith his face upturned to a Cuban sun. There are at least three things in the way of any champion retiring un beaten. before he is forced from the top: 1. The vanity that all champions have—the belief that they can always win that last fight. 2. The old thrill that comes from the applause of the crowd. No man can quite pass this up until he is driven from the top. 3. The lure of the last purse. It is no easy matter to quit when there is apparently anywhere from SIO,OOO to SIOO,OOO waiting as an easy bit. CONCERNING BABE RUTH . He can hit himself, And, to add to the glim, He can keep the others, From hitting him. R.D.S. Dope is dope, but facts still remain facts. The Red Sox are a veteran machine. Most of their athletes are well along in years or in campaigns. This has been a rough, cold spring, where the veteran is supposed to be at a disadvantage. Yet the Red Sox. usually a slow starting club, have drawn the swiftest start of their historic careers. What, if any, is the snappy reply? Colonel Damon Runyon rises to this remark: "In naming the game's greatest first basemarn, just how is any one going to leave out Stuffy Mc lnn.is?" Stuffy hasn't be&n quite as great a hitter as Pop Anson and not quite as great a fielder as Hal Chase. But he has outfielded Anson by many miles and has outhit Chase by a number of leagues. To prove that any single first baseman ever had anything to spare over Stuffy is enUrely too intricate an assignment for this late In the week. # The hoodoo, or whatsoever you may care to call it, that still pursues the Yankee outfield is appalling. Last season Donovan, started with six outfielders and than had to drag Rube Oldring from between the handles of a plough. A few weeks ago he left the South with six outfielders in rare shape, and five weeks later was forced to play a pitcher and an In fielder along his picket range. The only answer is to try &as masks and armor plate.

"Freak Ball" Not Illegal, President Johnson Rules Chicago, June s.—After examining I baseballs used by Pitchers Cy Falk enburg, of the Philadelphia club, and | Eddie Cicotte. of Chicago, President Johnson, of the American League, ruled that the protest filed against the alleged illegal delivery was with out foundation. Clark Griffith, manager of the Washington club, protested against what he termed the "shine" ball used by Cicotte, and Manager lTohl, of the Cleveland club, against the "licorice" ball hurled by Falkenburg. Fohl and ' Griffith , said the alleged tampering ; with the balls caused them to hop freakishly in their delivery. The balls | were sent to Johnson for his exami nation. Benny Leonard Outclasses Joe Welsh in Six Rounds Philadelphia, Pa., June 5. —Benny Leonard, the new lightweight cham pion of the world, completely out classed Joe Welsh in the windup at the Olympia last night, the local box er being on the defensive in every round. There was ample evidence in each session that the champion did not want to inflict unnecessary punishment on his opponent, as there were many times when he re fused to take advantage of the tight places he would have Welsh in. Many times when Leonard brought his right hand into play Welsh was covered up and the blows landed on his gloves, or he was too far away for the punch to be effective. It was announced ffom the ring that the match had been made at 140 pounds, and that neither man weighed that much. Welsh had an advantage in height and reach. Joe seemed timid from the start and did not box with his usual speed. Leonard forced the fighting and had Welsh on the defensive from the first round till the end of the contest. Susquehanna University to x Meet Bethlehem Leaguers Manager "Shorty" Miller of the Bethlehem Steel Company's League team has arranged for an attractive game to-morrow.
