Dauphin-Perry Notes They say responsibility helps a man. It has done something at least for Froggie Herman, of Marys ville. Froggie or Crumm, which ever you choose to call him, had been in a terrific slump, but last I Saturday when put In charg£ of the teiim. he clubbed the old liorsehide Rphereoid for a brace of hits, a dou ble and a homer and fielded bril liantly around the third sack in the absence of Chick Rutter. The A. O. B.—Ancient Order of Benedicts —is popular in the Dau. phin-Perry League this year. Marys ville has two men who enrolled this j year in the person of Chick Ruttert j nd Bugs Moore; Duncannon has! Abie Dearolf and Orville Mutza- i baugh. Landis Reeder is the sole representative of the Newport! m leaders to affiliate himself with the! organization this year. Rummers, Newport's new second sacker looks good. In his first ( game with the team, he fielded brll- | liantly around the keystone sack and his clubbing was more than fair, had at double ard a homer. Lester Garverich, Marysvllle's new hurler, not really new for he | was w,ith the team last year, showed 1 up well against Duncannon. He was with Hagerstown of the Blue Ridge League, earlier this season. The leaders have a I bunch of men who make known I their presence with the willow. The team has an average of something like .260. Landis Reeder, catcher, ! leads the team with an average of approximately .400. Stroup, Halifax's keystone guar- | dian, is one of the best players on the squad. He fields brilliantly and | he punishes the horsehlde with as much vengeance as the next one. I Harry Stees, ex-manager of the ' Marysville tenia, is coaching the Duncaryion team. Duncannon fans j say he knows the game. The Reithoffer United Shows ex hibited in Duncannon this week for | the benefit of the "steeltown" team. Coach Hanks appears unable to , get his Millersburg squad moving. Only one more defeat can be re- j corded until the team will tie the record for games lost, set in 1915 by Halifax. when 16 games were dropped in the 20 game series. Kid Strieker gets his old spitter working for Altoona Middle Divi sion team and is helping this squad to hang up victories in the railroad league of that place. War Demands On Lumber • . Billions of feet of lumber will be re- . J quired by United States during the period of war. Hundreds of merchant ships are being construct- 1 ed of wood. Camp sites i require an abundance of 1 lumber. , This extraordinary de- j mand on the lumber re sources of our country is bound to cause prices to increase. As yet, lumber prices have made but slight ad vances. Now is the time to build. After the war all the world will want building materi^s. Foratrr Jt Cowln St*.

MISS BEARD IS BIG SENS ATION Came Near Upsetting Tennis Calculations in Matches; McCreath Wins "Billy" McCreath, local tennis champion, and Miss Lucille Beard,! a fourteen-year-old star, were promi nent In yesterday's matches in the Greater Harrisburg Patriotic Tour-1 nament It was a day for local fa- ! vorites. All participants furnished interesting exhibitions. McCreath, in men's singles, ran through two straight sets in his' double match by scores of 6-2 and 6-2. Miss Beard caused a sensation in the tennis calculations in the early part of the afternoon, when she play-" ed a remarkable game against Miss Mildred Sheesley, dropping two sets after the hardest kind of a battle. The summaries follow: The Summaries Ladies' singles—Mrs. John Runkel defeated Miss Helen Heckert, 6-1, 6-3 (preliminary round), Miss Mil dred Sheesley defeated Miss Lucille Beard, 8-6, 6-3.

Secretary McAdoo Speaks at Monterey Country Club Waynesboro, Pa., Aug. 4.—One of the largest gatherings of people ever seen on the grounds of the Monterey Country Club at Monterey, wit nessed thjD gymkhana races and the military pageant yesterday under tho auspices of the club for the benefit of the allies. The program was open ed in the afternoon.- by a parade, which was headed by "Uncle Sain," i followed by a dozen young women attired In costumes representative of the allied nations, seven members of the Red Cross Society, fifteen girls carrying United States flags, a mili tary band and a detachment of sol diers of the Fourth United States Army, which came from Gettysburg along with Brigadier General Ken nedy, who has charge of the Gettys burg camp. Secretary of the Treasury William | McAdoo, who is summering at Buena Vista Springs, made an eloquent pa- j triotic address. He told why Amer- j ica was at war with Germany, and I that there was no possible way to avoid it, as Germany had added In sult to insult to our government and her people and had broken every rule that bordered on liberty and the rights of humanity. The races, participated in by boys j and girls, followed Mr. McAdoo'sj speech. Your Electric Toaster Your morning tonst quickly and deliriously crisp, made right on the table.

THE NEW YORK DILEMMA j New York's array of fanatical rooters have been caught In a queer Jam of late. They have been pulling lustily all year for two National League ; results: , One Is for the Giants to win. The other is for Christy Mathewson to upset ancient Red traditions. They still remember Matty, and if the old Giant favorite should lift his people to the top the cheers would likely be even louder than those follow- I ing a Giant conquest. There are undoubtedly as many fans in New York pulling for a Mathew ■ son triumph as there are fans pulling fer the Giants. At their last clash in New York the bulk of the crowd was with the Reds in every inning of every game. VANISHED DECADES If Mathewson should hold his Reds in second place all records for forty years would be cracked, smashed and splintered. In their entire NaUonal League history the Reds have finished second I but once. Tikit was a matter of thirty-nine years ago, back in 1878, when J. N. W. Nelt came n.ear carrying them to the top. i Thirty-nine years form quite a parcel of time. A number of things have happened since 1878, taken here and there, and if Matty arrives this close to the front his name as a manager will be established. He will belong with the few geniuses who have achieved the impossible. THE END OF COMPETITION A few days ago we ran across George Myers Church, the famous tennis player, who stopped McLoughlin at Forest Hills last summer. • Church was arrayed in khaki, awaiting his lieutenant's commission in the aviation corps. "So far as tennis championships are concerned," he said, "I am through. I will still play the game if I am around at the end of the war, but I never expect to be anywhere near championship form after this work is over And I doubt very much whether I will ever enter another national cham pionship. Once you lose your grip upon this game, there is very little chance of ever getting back again among the front rank." As most of the leading tennis players have entered service, there will very likely be a new list of names when championship play Is resumed in the distant future. - BOSTON'S SPORTING EMPIRE With Harvard football over for a spell and with the White Sox threat ening to drive the Red Sox from the top, Boston still has entries left to fight for her sporting ramparts. The next move will be to send her two star golfers, Francis Ouimet and Jesse Guilford, against Jerry Travels and Oswald Klrby, representing New York. There will be a home match, and, if possible, the winners will later on face Chicago's two stars, Chick Evans and Bob Gardner. These matches should add several thousand dollars to the Red Cross fund contribute more than a trifle to the sporting calendar. GOLF MAXIM He who putts an,d moves his body Will soon require an extra toddy, L. L. T. While he who jabs the bally sphere Will say things ladies shouldn't hear. Any lingering doubt as to where Bobby Jones belongs among the golf ers was settled when he won his first four matches, foursomes and singles, against some of the leading professionals of the country. The records have a tidy way of announcing the goods. G. F, S.—To bat above .400 for the entire year, Ty Cobb must bat around .420 for the remainder of the campaign. He has been batting around .425 since the last of May, so the trick isn't beyond his reach, pro vided he isn't sefted in the annoying grip of Henry W. Slump at some West Fairview Councilmen Want Tax Books Settled i West aFirview, Pa., Aug. 4.—Coun cil at Its meeting on oMnday night will pass a resolution forcing the settlement of the tax collector's books for the year, according to a member of council to-aay. It in said that tax collections to the amount of about $1,600 are still outstanding In the hands of the collector. For several years the school tax and borough tax fell due at different times, but this year they wire fixed to 'come due at the same time. The taxes were pay able some time ago and no settlement has been made, the councilman said. A prominent resident said to-day that If council did not proceed, resi dents and taxpayers Intended to do so at once. PROF. lAHJiE DHt RIED New Cumberland, Pa.. Aug. 4.

Stromboli Wins Handicap in Sensational Finish Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 4. ldeal Saratoga weather prevailed yester day and there was largely increased attendance at the races, which were run over a track that was dry, but not so fast as It was yesterday. The footing was described by horsemen as "mealy." A steeplechase of about two miles, which had seven starters, resulted in a victory for the Glen Riddle Farms' Elect, a 10-to-l chance, and the death of the favorite, the Green Tree Stable's Royal Amber. Faulty per formances marked the entire race. August Belmont was present to witness the success of Stromboli in the Schuylerville handicap, but he did not know whether or not his horse had won until the winning number was posted . James Butler's Capra made the finish one of mo mentous interest. With 106 pounds on her back against 124 on Strom boll. she came into the stretch like a winner. For fully 250 yards the pair alternated In leads of noses and heads. Right at the end Butwell. who had put away his whip, gave Stromboli one desperate rally and gained the verdict. Indiana Pacer Wins in Big Kalamazoo Event Kalamazoo, Mich., Aug. 4.—The free-for-all pace failed to develop the expected sensation in yesterday's grand circuit program. Single G win. nlng easily by his well-known ability to speed up in the stretch. In both heats the Indiana pacer trailed to the half before starting his spurt, and neither heat was considered ex ceptionally fast, the time being 2.02 and 2.03 U. Single G was a 25 to 20 favorite in the betting. The 2.07 trot was the only real contest of the day. Grand Chimes, the favorite, winning after Miss Per fection had made a strong bid by taking the. second and third heats through strong finishes in the stretch. The son of Kentucky Chimes rallied in the fourth and fifth heats, however, though hard pressed to the wire. Marjorio Kay upset the betting calculations in the 2.17 pace, winning handily in each heat by showing the needed reserve In the stretch. Bay- I mar was the choice of the field, sell | ing for $25 as against $7 for Mar i jorie Kay. TO CUT OUT BASKETBALL Hazleton, Aug. 4. —Indications are that Wartime conditions will put the Pennsylvania State Basketball League out of business for next sea son.

WELLY'S jf CORNER Belmont A. C. and Mlddletown crossed bats this afternoon on the State street grounds. Beltiont play ers are rather sore over the report from AVest End that they canceled the game scheduled for Fourth and Seneca streets. According to the Kast Enders there never was a game scheduled with West End. Belmont Is willing to play Manager House holder's team any time and often. In the Allison Hill League yester day the Reading Railway team won out, score 4 to 0. They played the Oalahads. The leaders batted timely in the third inning, icing the game. McCurdy was a factor, allowing but two hits. Martlnsburg Is holding the lead In the Blue Ridge League. Yesterday the leaders took Cumberland Into camp by a score of 9 to 5.
