Before a crowd of over 1,000 Hill fans the fourth Allison Hill baseball series was ushered in last evening when the Reading nine trimmed the Galahad aggregation by an 8 to 1 j tally. Mayor Keister was on hand ; and tossed out the first ball, and the j game was on. In a few preliminary j remarks. His Honor paid a tribute to the great many players of the league who signed up with Uncle Sam. But with the signing of new j players he predicted that the league j would have another successful sea- j son. Manager Pressler picked George j Levan to toss for the railroaders and j the veteran of the league struck out j all of the Galahad players. It was j his clever pitching that held the 1 "Green Sox" to a single tally. The ' Galahads presented a team of , youngsters that look like a bunch of j comers with a little more seasoning. j The Reading nine looked formid- i able, with some of the best talent i in the city in the lineup. After two were retired in the fourth, the Gala hads had a temporary ascension and as a result the victors clinched the game with a quintet of tallies. To night the Hick-A-Thrifts and the Rosewoods will play. The lineup j and summary. GALAHADS AB. R. H. O. A. E. j Holland, ss ... 2 0 0 1 0 0 I Cobaugh.

The toughest luck experienced by I any major league pitcher this sea son fell to Leon Ames in the game at Forbes Field yesterday, when the Cardinal flinger was compelled to shoulder a defeat in spite of the fact that he allowed only two hits and not a Pittsburgh runner reached first base after the opening inning. Hard luck and Ames are not strang ers. The same kind of jinx has been pursuing him for years, and a search of the records probably | would disclose that he has lost more j l-to-0 and 2-to-l games than any i other hurler in harness. Yesterday's unfortunate break wasn't the worst that Ames ever got. He has even lost a no-hit game, or at least a game In which he pitched the regu lation distance without permitting a bingle. That happened back in 1909. in the opening game of the season on April 15, when Ames, pitching for New York, held Brook- j lyn hitless for nine Innings, only to ! be defeated in the thirteenth in- j ning. Ames, by the way, is the old- j est player in the National League in 1 point of continuous service in that circuit, following the retirement of Hans Wagner and Johnny Evers. He broke in as a member of the Giants In the fall of 1903. CAPITAL CITY SPORTS This afternoon Westcoat wilt meet: Solorzano in the fina.' match of the 1 first round of the Academy tennis' tournament.

The Freshies tallied 140, while the Jun iors had 90. Members of the fourth- I year class were to busy with com mencement activities to enter the 1 meet, and the three lower classes 1 will vie for the honors. Four events were run off, includ ing the 100-yard dash, one-mile run, low hurdles and shot put. The finals were: • 100-Yard Dash—Carl Beck, Ma lick, Wilsbach and Allen. Time. 10 2-5 seconds. One Mile Run—Hoffsommer, J. Beck, Sparrow, Shope and Ebert. Time. 5 minutes 2-5 seconds. Shot Put—Carl Beck, Wilsbach, Malick, Derrick and Garrett. Dis tance, 42 feet 11 inches. Low Hurdles—Oscar Miller, Carl Beck, Wilsbach and Heagy. Time, 2 9 3-5 seconds. The feature of the meet was the 100-yard dash which was captured by Carl Beck in 10 2-5 seconds. Con sidering the slowness of the track at the present time, the mark is con sidered _ phenomenal. First place counts 50 points, and each succeed ing place adds ten points less. While the first year class contains a large amount of good track material. It is likely that the Sophs will easily cop the meet. The Junior aggregation is handicapped by the smallest of the numbers who represent the third year colors. Events will be run off the first four days of this week, and a total will be taken to determine the win ner of the meet. To-day the sched ule includes the two-mile run. dis cus throw, high jump and 220-yard dash. Coach Hill is in charge of the events, assisted by Physical Director Miller of the Y. M. C. A. Lightweights Battle; Honors Even at Finish Frankie Callahan, of Brooklyn, nnd George Chaney, of Baltimore, two rugged, hard-hitting light weights, the latter a southpaw, bat tled for six rounds at Olympia, in Philadelphia, last night. At the end honors were even. Callahan had the bout won at the end of the fifth round by a slight margin. He weak ened in the sixth and after he got aeveral cracks on the jaw from Chaney's hefty left he lost his bear ings and began to clinch to avoid a decisive beating. In the semiwind-up Battling Leon ard outboxed and outfought Joe Men- 1 dell. Leonard used a straight right effectively, alternating from the body to face and he won by a good mar gin. In the opening bout Frankie Cline defeated Jack Nelson, whose seconds were forced to throw the sponge into the ring in the fifth round. At the time Nelson was wabbling badly from body punches. Cline was also tired, but able to land freely. Frankie Williams handed out a lacing to Johnny Duff, of Hoboken, in the Becond engagement. Duff start ed off well but weakened, while Williams retained his freshness and had his opponent bleeding from the nose and mouth at the end. Science was pitted against strength in the third bouc and the former won. Danny Frush, of Baltimore proving so elusive that Steve Morris, of Philadelphia, could hardly lay a glove on him. Frush had his oppon ent well battered at the finish, while he, himself, was unmarked. Baseball Manager Is Suicide in Chicago Chicago, May 7. "Ned" Egan, formerly manager of the Milwaukee baseball club, of the American As sociation, was found shot dead with a pistol at his side in a downto.vn hotel late last night. Egan registered as E. F. Egan. of St. Paul, on Saturday. He was not seen afterward around the hotel. Late last night when he failed to ans wer repeated knocks upon his door, the room was broken into and the body found, fully clothed, with a bullethole through the temple. A pistol was lying nearby. In a hand grip a letter was found indicating that he had accepted a position as athletic instructor with the Y. M. C. A. at Fort Snelling. Egan was known among baseball men as "King of the Bushes," hav ing gained a reputation for develop ing minor league stars. He managed the Waterloo, la., club, of the Cen tral Association, for ten years, end ing his connection with that team last year.

AROUND THE BASES "McGraw has gathered up a won derful ball cluii," says Pat Moran, of the Phillies. "The old Cubs un der Chance were a wonderful com bination. I know, for I was a silent member of that array, and I had plenty of time to size 'em up and get a real line on their ability. I have seen many teams come and go since that club was broken up, but not until the 1918 Giants took the field did I see one that had an edge on Chance's outfit. The Giants are a better club than the Cubs were, if for no other reason than that they make things easier tor their pitch ers than the Cubs did. Brown, Pfeister. Overall, Lundren, Ritchie —and those old pitchers of ours had to work mighty hard for every game they won, because the team, bril liant, defensively, was not so strong on the attack. Most of our games were won by scores of 1 to 0 or 2 to 1, or similar counts, but a Giant pitcher of to-day regards it as pretty tough afternoon if he doesn't have at least three runs to work on." Eddie Collins, captain of the Chi cago American baseball team, has established a record by playing in 478 consecutive games. His first miss since 1914 was in yesterday's lineup at Detroit. His records beats Sam Crawford's of 472 games. Ralph Mulford, the "smiling dare devil" racing driver, has entered the Liberty pstakes. the feature event of tht season's opening meet at the Unlontown speedway. Mul ford is a star of the first water. He became famous as a racing driver while piloting the Lozier mounts, and has participated in all the big events held in this country in recent years. He won the world's record last year at Sheepshead in a Hud son, twenty-four hours' stretch, without calling for relief. On July last Mulford won first place at the Omaha speedway, and was the star driver on the Hudson team, which was managed by Arthur Hill, former manager of Dario Resta. Last fall, when the Hudson team disbanded, Mulford bought a Frontenac from Louis Chevrolet. Chevrolet, by the way, has entered two cars in the Liberty Sweepstakes. The famous Frenchman, who was the winner of the first Universay trophy race at the local track, will drive one of the Frontenacs himself. The first baseball game ever play ed in Spain took place on April 30 between a Spanish and an American team, which resulted in the defeat of the Americans. 22 to 12. The American team had for its cap tain Paymaster William Ormesby, U. S. N., prominent American ath lete, formerly of Brown University. A Captain Gonzales led the Span iards. Three of the Spanish ball players were bullfighters. Mathewson remains the cham pionship checker player of the big leagues. Ty Cobb ,who never met him at the game, had his chance the other day and was willing to bet he could wallop Matty; he had trimmed everybody on the Detroit team. Cobb never knew what hit him, report the spectators. Matty made about three moves and Cobb was hand cuffed. Matty has many a divert ing hour with his checker skill. His team was playing an exhibition game in a Texas town last spring when the champion local expert, old "Col" Something, beat all comers before the assembled town gathered on the square. A tall, well-dressed man strolled up and challenged the champion who accepted, though he did not know who Mathewson was. Matty cornered him in jig time, much to the amazement of the na tives. Fred Plum, a druggist from At lantic City, known among trap shooters as the "Jersey Peach." won the thirteenth annual amateur trap shooting championship of the Unit ed States at the Travers Island traps of the New York Athletic Club with the remarkable total of 197 out of a possible 200 targets. His individ ual strings were 24, 25, 25, 25, 25, 24 and 24. On his way to the title Plum smashed all of the Travers TIADI wn © JACK TAR FOR SAI-E BY DIVES. POMEROY STEWART Island trap records. His grand total was the best ever made there. He also smashed the continuous run rec ord by breaking 154 straight targets.

The eight red and blue oar blades of Pennsylvania's sturdy crew sent the Quaker shell over the mirrored surface of Carnegie so fast that the Princeton and Columbia crews were left far in the rear, and in the last flashes of the glowing sunset old Penn made a procession of the Childs' cup race, winning by more than five lengths. This was the first time that Pennsylvania ever won the Childs' cup race since the event was contested by eights. It is the second time thnt Penn has beaten Columbia in the eleven years of Jim Rice's coaching and the worst beating Columbia has ever suffered since Rice took charge. It was a big day for Pennsylvania, because In the Freshman race the Quaker cubs beat Princeton by a margin of two lengths. Announcing the Appointment of The Overland - Harrisburg Co. V as Representative of the C/tdvancod Qngirxoorincf THIS car represents advanced engineering, and authorities predict that the Marmon idea of construction will be taken by automobile builders generally as their guide in the next re-designing period. Indeed, it has been already, in many quarters. . | "Such frames as the Marmon," sajrs one great American Motor Jour nal, "are typical of the future." This car is surprisingly different from old-style construction. An engineer of European training says: "It is the easiest handling car of American manufacture I have ever driven." A half ton lighter weight, yet unexcelled road ability, and riding ease— a long wheelbase, yet short turning radius— | wide, deep seats, yet exceptionally low bodies— great speed and power, yet-small fuel and tire / consumption. . It is the dominating car to-day in North America, and the preference of distinguished personages overseas- Local demonstrations can be arranged by communication with our new representative.
