Rosewood vs. Hick-A-Thrlft.
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

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.

CARL BECK STAR
AT TRACKMEET
His Skill Gives Tech Sopho
mores Victor}' in Island
Park Games
In the first of the series of daily
; track meets held by the
classes of the Technical High school
on the island, the Sophomores land
ed high honors with 360 points. 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

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.

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.

relieving the public mind from
brooding over the big business at

tory. With the workmen running
at top speed and upon whom their
chiefs nly, more cr less, it is evi
dent that they must have reaction to
maintain their efficiency. This is in
