Nyquist and Huston, com i ing under the wire in one. two, three order. Noble Frank secured an advantage , at the start that his opponents could not overcome, and as a result he will I have the honor of being the highest | individual scorer, when the final av- j j erages are compiled. He has one i more game to play against Tech. Fri day night, and he is sure to retain his lead because of his wonderful 'ability to cage fouls from the fifteen foot mark. Captain Nyquist, of Reading, has caged more field goals : than the local lad. but Frank L far superior as a foul shooter. .Miller Recortl Breaker Miller, the clever Lebanon guard, j broke league records for three years, by tossing in 16 field goals while guarding Nyquist at Lebanon Saturday night. The highest score previously made was 11. This mark was reached several times this year, ' and was first set by Glenn Killinger, of Tech. against Lebanon, during the tirst year of the league.

"As I see it, the added hour of I day light under the new law, will be a boon to baseball," said Johnson.j i "We can start our games an hour; later by the watch and still have' 1 plenty of daylight left to finish. By : beginning at 4 o'clock this season. we will be following the old style, as, • far as the sun is concerned. "I will take up the matter with! our league immediately.

JUDGE RULES OUT TRIAL EVIDENCE ' [Continued from First Page.] j I to the towpath along the canal near; | Middletown, where Ephraim Silber ' man, the murdered junk peddler, was found, and Richcreek's demon stration of how the shooting oc , curred. Richcreek's defense is that ; he shot at a bird but missed his | mark, the'charge striking the old j peddler, who waa sitting on the! r other side of the towpath. An effort to introduce targets | made by shots fired from the gun ; ; which Richcreek had used was 1 ; stopped by Judge Johnson, who \ ' ruled that the evidence was not ad-i mlssable. At the former trial the' targets were admitted, showing the force of the shot at close range and ! ! the spreading effect at long range, i Evidence Ruled Out | Judge Johnson also refused to ad- j mit as evidence a, small canvas bag which it is claimed belonged to Sil-! berman. District Attorney Michael I E. Stroup offered it together with I several other exhibits, including the I i shotgun.

[ | Other witnesses called during the; ! morning session included Harry i Henry, who testified he found the 1 bag about seventy-five yardß from the place where Silberman was killed; John Alleman and Mrs. John Ridley, the latter having seen Sil berman count his money frequently and identifying the canvas bag as I similar to one the peddler carried.

ACTIVE PART IN | FOOD PROBLEMS Merchants May Organize To night; Plan Cash and Carry Liberty Store An organization of grocers to do i cide all questions of interest to the 1 food merchants, is .likely to lie the 1 outcome of the meeting of grocers j in the Technical High school this, evening. The meeting will be nd-i dressed by Wiggins Smedley, secre-J tary of the Retail Grocers' Associn-, tion of Pennsylvania. All the sroc-j ers of the city are asked to attend i the meeting. The cash and carry system for 1 j purveying fooiistuffs to the consumer i I will not be forced on the grocer. Mr. | I McCormick, county food administra-j tor, said this morning. The idea of the meeting to-night is to show the | grocers the advantages of some sort of organization to take up matters of interest to all the grocers and work on them when the occasion arises. The organization to be effected probably will take the form of ai I committee or executive body appoint-' cd or elected from among the groc-l ers. These men would have author- 1 jity'to act for the entire body -of I grocers, and decide matters of inter-1 i est. One o£ the acts of such an . xe cutlve committee would be for them] to meet with the food administr-.i-; tor twice weekly when he compiles ■ the retail grocery price lint for con sumers. At the present time tliisj j list is compiled by a few of thej grocers. To Open Liberty Store It is likely that a Liberty Sto-e j will be established in the city soon, ] it was said by Mr. McCormick this ; morning. This store wjtl be on the i cash and carry plan, selling fruits j and vegetables only. ' The conimo • dities will be on display done up in i packages, and the consumers will i help themselves, and pay the cashier jas they pass out. The stores are in I vogue all over the state, and effect : a considerable saving in some com- I modifies. j A curb market in the locality of | the locations of the former Kelker : and State street markets is another project being considered by .the food administration. The market may be established on vacant lots, or along the streets, la the latter case, spe cial action by Council must be se cured. The following committee has been | appointed to take *p the matter: j William Bowman, chairman; F. L. j Wright, Mrs. J. C. Jesscup, Jr., F. , L. Cook and H. D. Reel.

A number of unusual service cases not covered in the report by J. W. ! Ledoux, of Philadelphia, are being j considered, and Mr. Ledoux may be | called upon to make recommenda i tions for meeting these conditions. The contract for 500 tons of as j phalt for the city highway depart ment was awarded to the Atlantic Refining Company, at the bid of $33.50 it ton; an ordinance was Intro duced increasing the amount of money to be expended for a sewer In Schuylkill street from S4OO to $560.
