A. to Open Title Series With Reading Saturday West End A. A. last night won the tcss and will play the first feame with Reading: Railway nine. Hill champion*, at Fourth and Seneca streets, on Saturday. The second contest will be played on the same field, Monday afternoon, and the third on Bj field to be picked later, and played Saturday, September 8. All games will start at 3 o'clock. At a meeting last night representa tives of the two teams discussed plans. Owing to the fact that no admission can be charged at Seven teenth and Chestnut streets field, It was decided to play on West End field. The Hill representatives were anxious to get at least one game, but agreed to Manager Charles J. House holder's sugestion that It would bo a better-paying proposition to have an enclosed bailfleld. Rcjtulnr I*lnyer Only It was agreed that no player be put in the game who has not been ir. the line-up of each team through out the entire season. Ben Kline, who has been the star catcher with the Hill team, is the property of West Knd and will play with Manager Householder's aggregation. Killinger will do the catching for Reading. It is probable that an umpire will be secured from the Dauphin-Perry "League to officiate. George McCahan will be official scorer for these con tests. Special accommodations will be afforded women who attend. Prep arations also will be made to handle large crowcjs as there is much inter est in these contests.

AMHlH.anck I'HONI.S NEWPORT'S CHAMPION BASEBALL TEAM PENNANT WINNERS FOR D. P. LEAGUE Winning this season's pennant brought to Newport more baseball honors. This town has aljvays been on the map as yne of the most active for its size in sports of all kinds, and has been a leader in baseball. The Dauphin-Perry League champions won the flag and hung up a new reccrd for games won and lost. Every player was in the game to win. The best kind of sport was offered. In the above picture are all players who were factors in victories except Eddie Hooper and Jack Sommers. They were late comers and have since re turned to the Blue Ridge league.' Manager H. E. Prevost and McAndrews, the coach, played a big part and have won much praise. Having a good leader is important and Manager Prevost proved to bo the right man. The players as pictured abovn are: Standing (reading from left to right)—H. E. Prevost, manager; Smith, second base; Rush, right field; Gutschall, shortstop; Reeder, catcher; H. Wagner, left field; Lear, pitcher: Stricter, pitcher; W. T. Hanley, president. Sitting—Peterman, utility; Coxe, utility; McAndrews, coach; W. Wagner, substitute; R. Wagner, first base; mascot in front, Glenn Clouser. ' Harry Coveleski Is Returned to Minors * m j HARRY COVELESKIE Detroit, Mich., Aug. 29. Harry Coveleskie, of Shamokin, Pa., the 1 left-hand pitcher of the Detroit Am-, ericans, has been released to Provi dence, of the International League, President Navin announced yester day. Coveleskie was one of the star pitchers of the league last season. His arm went back on him during the spring training trip and he has never recovered his effectiveness. It is believed a few months on a minor league club will help Coveleskie to regain his strength and his old-time confidence. Coveleskie at one time pitched for the Phillies and earned the title of •"Giant Killer" because he beat the Giants several times in one series and kept them out of a pennant. It became known here that ar rangements recently were made to send Covelski to Toronto, but that he declined to go. It is not known whether he will report to Provi dence, but Manager Jennings said Coveleskie should join the club for the rest of the season or remain in Detroit and work out with the Tig ers without pay. Suggestion to Eat Shark Meat Shocks Shark meat will take the place of beefsteak and porkchops on Amer ican tables If housewives throughout the country follow the latest advice by Herbert Hoover, National Food Administrator, sent to. women •here, and which has made them gasp kwith astonishment. The proposal recalls the arrest of a man not long ago in Cape May Courthouse! a member of an old Philadelphia family, who was prose cuted for forcing his children to eat shark meat. Another ironical fact in connection with the matter is two summers ago sharks took a sudden fancy to human flesh rather than man to shark meat. Boys Urge Ordinance Prohibiting Cigarets A committee of five boys repre senting the Boys' Wyandotte Club, appeared at the city hall, Kansas City, Kan., the other day and asked _ that the city officials frame and pass' an ordinance In conformity with the State anticigaret laws. The club has 5,000 members, all pledged to fight the clgaret. The boys promised to help enforce any law the city officials would provide. Mayor Harry Menaenhall Instructed the legal department to frame an ordinance to eliminate the cigaret from the Kansas side.—St. Louis Star. Bones Identified as Those of Lost Settler Bones identified as those of Sam uel Willis, who disappeared in Au gust, 1914, havo been found near Daggett, Cal. Willis, who was 76 years old at the time of his disappearance, left his home in Long Beach, and with two other men. took up some land near Daggett. Then he left his compan ions on tho land and started after a load of supplies. When he failed to arrive at Dag gett, search was made, and his team foftnd, half-starved, but no trace of Willis was ever discovered until re cently. , FniF.NDSHII* COMPANY FESTIVAL Myrlads.of -electric lights will be strung in "Third street between Chest nut and Mulberry for tho ice cream festival and street dance given by the Friendship Company.

ON FACING FATE Far be it from me to suggest you keep grinning When Fate has bcstraddled your neck; Or to say to you—"Smile"—when the other man's winning And you are three-fourths of a wreck; The system, or style, is a personal matter, With which I have nothing to do, Smile on, if you will—or get mad as a hatter. But don't let the charge break through. "The man who can smile" has come in for the praises Of more than one dealer In junk; Perhaps I am wrong, but I hold that the phrase is A meaningless muster of bunk; For smiling or cursing won't carry you through it When Fate begins driving at you, There's only one answer—there's nothing else to it, Don't let the assault break through. Was the ancient prophet referring to the draft when he remarked. "Many are called, but few are chosen?" The Red Sox motto has generally been as follows: "Stick around and they'll come back to you; if they don't, go get "em." FREAK INCIDENTS Dear Sir; In calling your attention to the record of the Birmingham club, which scored 3 runs in 3' days and won 3 games, another record was overlooked. Some years ago Cincinnati Journeyed to St. Loui3, and in a four-game series scored but 1 run, while St. Louis scored 11, yet the Reds got an even, break on the series. The scores were, St. Louis, 11; Cincinnati, 0; Cincinati, 1; St. Louis, 0; Cincinnati, 0; St. Louis, 0; Cincinnati, 0; St. Louis, 0. Here are a few other odd achievements I gather from my eight volumes of dope: Bender one year pitched one ball in a game—and lost it; Bluejacket with the Brookfeds, did not make a single pitch, yet was officially credited with a victory. Here's another odd one l —in a Scranton-Elmira game, the bases were full; the Elmira pitcher threw to third and caught the runner off the bag; after considerable tossing back and forth the Elmira pitcher found himself thre feet from third base, ball in hand, with three runners on third base. He lunged at the group, which scattered, and in the throw ing which followed, after the smoke cleared away, Scranton had her 3 runners back on first, second and third without an error charged. EDWARD BIELE. The freakiest golf shot we ever saw was' a brassie shot, hooked out of bounds, that crossed a road, struck a telephone post, bounded back in on the green and dropped into the cup for a 2. The same being no part of a myth, fable or fabrication. RIVAL INFIELDS A sedate bystander desires to know which has the better infield—the White Sox or Red Sox. Hobby and Gainer make a stronger combination than Gandll at first*, Oollins has a shade on Barry, but only a shade; both are stars; Sott has something on Rlsberg at short —enough experience to count. Gardner and Weaver are about 60-50—but Gardner knows more than third-base play. "Wlllard has lost 20 pounds since he bought out the circus in which he was formerly employed." Jess might add another ring and get down to fighting weight without training, i Matty started from the South Pole this season. He hasn't worked his way to the North Pole yet, but he passed the Equator and has his Reds at !ast housed in the Temperate Zone. With a few additional suplies of Pemmican an.d gum drops he expects to push rapidly on next spring and anchor for the summer somewhere above Baffin's Bay, at least. AFTER THE BIG FELLOW Fred Toney, the Tennessee! Turmoil, or the Red Redoubt, will m<-.ke a terrific effort to bag rriore victories this season than Alexander,, who has led his circuit for a good many campaigns. Alex has been attaching 30 or more victories right along, but he is a trifle behind his old mark for late August. He is still within fairly close reach of the Red star, and the finish should be fairly well replete with fuzz. Toney, with 23 victories along the dotted line, expects to reach 30 by the finish. If he does the Philly Premier will need a fast drive through the stretch to regain his old camping ground on top of the pitching peak. The Browns and Pirates are now in favor of the government taking over the Standing of the Clubs and distributing the output to all alike. Why not? "What good," asks G. L. F., "will it do to teach our soldiers how to box? I never heard of the Chinese Boxers wlnnjg many wars. Or didn't they?" ORELAND RING.

Owned and driven by Harvey Ernest, of Kamms, Ohio, ■yesterday won the Poughkeep sie 2.11 trot for a purse of $3,000, the feature event of the opening day of the Poughkeepsie grand circuit meeting. Royal Mac, driven by Thomas W. Murphy, won the first heat, showing a remarkable burst of speed In the homestretch and over taking Ima Jay, who was leading. Ernest sent Ima Jay out in the lead when the word was given in the sec-1 ond heat and, setting a fast pace, tfce mare was never headed. Murphy again challenged in the last furlong, but Royal Mac did not respond. The time for this heat was 2.06 >4, the fastest heat of the race. Ima Jay won the third heat in a driving finish from Bacelli, with Royal Mac third. North Spur, the Philadelphia trot ter, was picked to win the 2.21 trot, but the Brook Farm horse Suidlne had too much speed for him and won in straight heats, although the fin ishes were very close. The 2.13 trot went six heats before Jess Y., the popular choice, was re turned a winner. Indra won the first heat and the American Girl the sec ond. A costly- break in the third caused the letter to be shut s out, Jess Y. winning. Jess Y. also won the fourth handily, and had a sub stantial lead in the fifth, when she went to'a break in the stretch, Cox winning with Boastess Mobell. The final heat was comparatively easy for Jess Y. In the special pacing race between Butt Hale and Russell Boy the latter showed too much speed for Murphy's young horse and won handily in 2.04 and 2.03.
