Rosewood vs. Reading.
Two big innings gave the Rose
wood team a victory over tjie Hlck-
A-Thrift aggregation in an 8-6 score
in an Allison Hill contest last even
ing. It was the second game of the
series and the opening corttest for
the two teams.
Another large crowd was on hand
to see the teams battle and a bit of
fortune favored the victors. With
the score tied at live and two men
on bases, "Eddie" Harris hit one of
Ziegler's shoots, driving it to center
held. Caverick was fast pursuing the
ball when he was interfered with by
several lads who had another game
on in the extreme outfield. As a re
sult, Harris made a circuit with two
fellow players crossing the rubber
in advance. Earl Killinger was fast
on the bases, stealing four different
times.
Carl Beck, the Tech all-around
athlete, was on second for the Hick-
A-Thrifts and proved that he is a
second "Jim" Thrope by cracking
out two hits out of three times at bat.
One of them was labeled for two
bases and drove in two other play
ers. He scored a run and handled
four chances in clever style. Both
teams played good ball, but were a
little loose in fielding.
To-night the Reading and Rose
wood will battle and the winner will
haae undisputed possession of first
place. The summary:

Time was when a visiting ball
player had to tie his glove and bat
to him for fear of being robbed by
the home players in addition to the
umpire. They still observe ancient
customs in the town of Martinsburg
according to accounts from Roaring
Springs whose team could not col
lect its guarantee of $6. Soma of
the vfßitors were also frisked of
their bats and uniform, so that it
will be a long time before a re

The Island track is being put into
shape for the annual High school
meet May 23. The Track Athletic
Association of Harrisburg will again
he in charge and the members prom
ise some interesting events. Tech will
again be prominent for the shield.
.Steelton will enter as will Lebanon,
Williamsport, York, Lancaster, Al
lentown, Reading and South Bethle
hem. Norristown is contemplating
sending a team here, as is Downing
town and Lower Merion High school.
The fifty-mile rule prevents the Phil
adelphia High schools from enter
ing. Other smaller High schools will
also enter the field.
A" schedule of matches for the
coming season will be drawn up this
week by A. S. Black, New Cumber
land, chairman of the Harrisburg
Park Tennis Association. The courts
opened last Saturday at Reservoir. It
is believed that this will be the live
liest season ever known, for many
youthful stars in the game are com
ing to the front, having the chance
to practice at the city courts, The
city championship therefore, is go
ing to be hotly contested and the
championship well defended as it was
last season in contests with out-of
town challengers. It is expected that
A. S. Black, always in the thick of
it, Charles Tahn, Glenwood Beard
an dßay Clark may make one com
bination to defend the Capital City
title. Other possibilities for team
candidates are the veterans Charles
Pollock and Clarke Koons, Charles
Dasher, Robert Shrelner, Charles
Fager and John Kunkle, Jr.
Mrs. Chris Sauers, Miss Mildred
Shecsley and Miss Ruth Starry form
the nucleus of what appears to be
the best women's team put in the
field in any past year by the local
aggregation. Mias Starry's return to
the game after a year's absence will
undoubtedly strengthen the local
team.
Miss Marian Black and Miss Lu
cille Beard are two of the younger
"•layers whose form In last season's
city turney make them possible
memberß of one of the teams this
year.
In the Academy tennis tournament
yesterday only one match was play
ed. Solorzano winning over Westcott,
fi-4, first set: 6-2, second set. Neither
were up to form. N'ewlin will meet
Green to-day.
Every Harrisburger who has ever

It looks as though Jake Daubert,
first baseman, of the Brooklyn Na
tionals, is in for a big comeback
this season. Jake was a great dis
appointment last year at the bat and
also on the field. In the games
played b>- the Dodgers since the
opening. Jake has batted the ball
with the old time vigor and is also
fielding in the forjn that make him
the idol of the Brooklyn rooters.

Valley is not far from Reading, and
it is one of the pioneer trap shooting
points in this part of America. The
event will come off, rain or shine,
starting promptly at 10 o'clock with
two sets of traps. One of the novelty
prizes is to be a Thrift Stamp spe

Harrisburg will compete.
In a fast game yesterday after

Carl Beck must lookout for his
laurels if Wilsbacli continues to im
prove. Yesterday he hurled the dis
cus only two feet behind the Island
record, established by Elscheid in
109 feet in 1914. Beck's prowess and
fame are helping to ginger up the
whole Tech school on athletics and
this is as good advertising as we

The Harrisburg Academy nine will
meet the Central "Informals" on the
Academy diamond this afternoon at
4 o'clock. Esquerro and Stone will be
the batteries for the Academy and
Goodiel and Fields will probably do
the work for Central. The Academy
crew has shown improvement since
the last game between the two
schools and hopes to make a good
showing. In the former game the
Central team included several alumni
and professionals who will not plan
this afternoon. The Academy lineup
with the exception of the batteries,
was not given out by Coach Gavin,
but will probably be as follows:
Laudermilch, Ist base: Stewart,
2d base: MacDougal, 3d base: Wren,
shortstop: Bateman, left field: New

Women tennis players have tak
en upon themselves to help win the
war. As they cannot fight and the
Kaiser is not willing to settle the
European contest on the courts, the
only thing left for the women is to
raise money and assist in making
garments and hospital supplies.
The new organization, which will
! be incorporated under the name of
the National Tennis Women's War
Relief Association, has elected Mrs.
R. Lin Murray, wife of one of Amer
ica's ranking ne: stars, to the presi
dency. Although this organization
is going to perform any duty which
it believes will aid the cause of the
Allies, the primary object is to get
all women who play tennis and who
belong to clubs affiliated with the
United States National Lawn Tennis
1 Association Interested in collecting
! money for war relief work.
In order that the movement may
bring results, the association is ar
ranging a schedule of tournaments
to be played in every section of the
country. Every cent of the receipts
of these matches will be given to the
association for war work. In this
way the women hope to raise thous
ands of dollars by having some OT
the high-grade racquet wielders go
to us many of the tournaments ES
possible. The fee for membership in
the new organization is sl, and men
as woll as women are eligible. The
idea of this association was well
conceived and it is certain it will be
properly carried out and that much
benefit will result.
HXJtTUSBURG TELEQICtPfII
JIM THORPE, ONE OF THE GREATEST
SPRINTERS IN NATIONAL PASTIME
JIM THORPE ON
LEAGUE SPRINTS
Offers to Bet None Can Run
Bases in Eleven Seconds,
Including His Rival
Sorne of the grandest ball players
have been marvelous sprinters also.
To run the bases in fourteen seconds
flat was once a rare accomplishment
but big leaguers have been getting
faster and faster, although Jim
Thorpe, the Carlisle wonder, now
with the Giants, doubts any 11-sec
ond performance of men in baseball
uniform. The wily Redskin in some
goer himself and he has offered to
bet that no man in the National
League can do this. Says he:
"There are several men who go
down to first at the rate better than
eleven seconds, but I don't believe
any of them can keep it up for the
entire 100 yards.
"Eleven seconds is fast traveling,
and it takes training to do that.
When I was at my fastest in a trask
suit I never could beat 10 1-5 and I
know I am nowhere as fast now as
I was during the Olympic games.
"Some players lose much of their
speed when weighed down with a
baseball, or more especially a faot
ball uniform. Mount Pleasant, the
old Carlisle quarterback, was one of
these.
"He used to run away from me in
the 100-yard dash, though I could
pick him up in the 220. but in a foot
ball uniform I could beat htm. He
was a little fellow, and the excess
weight in the moleskins and cleated
boots showed him up at least a
second on the 100 yards.
"Perritt might run the 100 in less
than eleven seconds in a baseball uni
form but I doubt it. He is the only
one on the Giant team I would p.'ok
to make a stab at it. Nor can I
think of any other player in the Na
tional League, fast as are Max Carey,
Jack Smith and others of the boys,
who could make eleven seconds on a
stralght-away in a baseball uni
form."
It ia said that Thorpe will have
another real sprinting rival in the
Giant cast, the coming season In Ross
Young, the peppery Texas, whose
general work in the preliminary ro
ing has been so highly touted.
"Nix on Honeymoon,"
Says Wife of Jockey
On the Telegraph sporting page
last Saturday was carried an enter
taining narrative of Jockey Johnny
Williams, now riding at Pimlico. and
his wife who waf formerly u Miss
Marfle, of Lancaster. An error was
made in saying that Mr. and Mrs.
Williams had only been married six
weeks and were, therefore, spend
ing their "honeymoon" at a friend's
home over on the West. Shore.
"We've been coming here for years
to spend our summers" corrected
Mrs. Williams to-day, "and while we
are just as hapny as on our honev
moon 1 should Hke to have the mis
take adjusted."
BETTER ROADS
ON WEST SHORE
Borough Councils Co-operat
ing With State in Improve
ment of Highways
Borough councils along the West
Shore, county and state officials are
co-operating in a move for better
roads in that section of the county.
Camp Hill has been gft'en state aid
and is anxiously awaiting the
awarding of bids for repairing Mar
ket street. New Cumberland has ap
plied for state aid; West Fairview
and Wormleysburg, assisted by the
state, will oil tile streets, and Le
nioyne Council at a meeting last
evening decided to help the Lemoyne
Welfare League in oiling Hummel
avenue and Rossmoyne street,
Tho West Shore Firemen's Union,
through Judge Sadler, is seeking bet
ter roads for Enola. This town is
located In East Pennsboro township
and the streets are in a deplorable
condition. Appeals to the supervis
ors on several occasions have faHed
to bring results and members of the
union gone to those higher up
in an effort to have * the streets
placed in good condition.
Judge Sadler has recognized the
appeals of the West Shore and Ilar
risburg Firemen's Unions and lias or
dered supervisors and constables to
make the necessary repairs to roads
in East Pennsboro township, it is
understood.
The State Highway Department has
notified West Fairview and Worm
leysburg Councils that the main
streets through the town would be
oiled this year on the same con
ditions as last year. These condi
tions are that the borough and state
divide the cost of repairing and re
surfacing the streets. Councils in
both these boroughs at their month
ly meetings this week passed reso
lutions agreeing with the state to
pay half the expense. These resolu
tions have been forwarded to the
State Highway Department and work
can be started at any time.
Camp Hill will make temporary
repairs to Market street until the
state is able to build the street. Bids
have been received by the Highway
Department, but have been too high
and therefore rejected. Market
street at the present is in poor con
dition and repairs are necessary.

OPENING DEFEAT
West End Will Try to Redeem
Itself in Saturday Battle
With Highspire
The West End A. C. will play
Highspire on their lield next Satur
day at 3 o'clock p. m. The West
Endcrs will have their full lineup
for this same as Bill Euker, the j
brilliant shortstop, will he in his po- |
sition and this means considerable 1
strength added to the team.
Jim Russell, the big tirst sacker,
will make his last appearance in a
West End uniform as he leaves on
May 14 for an Army cantonment,
making six players from last year's
club to join the U. S. service. How
ever the management has secured
from Wrightstone. another clubber
to fill Russell's shoes.
West End is now practicing hard I
to complete the team work that
stood out so prominently last season '
and which was missing in last Sat- j
urday's game against St. Mary's
when they were defeated by a close i
margin. "Bud" Lingle, of Technical j
High, and Earl Walz will be in uni- j
form. Both youngsters are comers j
and will be valuable to the team.
Highspire will bring a strong j
club on Saturday and several former j
Central Pennsylvania League play- !
ers are in their lineup. West End is j
a representative team of this city |
and deserves all the encourage- 1
ment the fans can give, so it is
hoped that a big crowd will witness !
the battle.

Since the start of the champion
ship season, Owner Harry Frazee of
the Red Sox has been offered more
than SIOO,OOO for one ball player,
and. of course, his name is George
H. "Babe" Ruth, collossal southpaw
pitcher and hitter most extraordin
ary. The magnate turned down the
offer.
"I might as well sell the franchise
and the whole club as sell Ruth,"
said Frazee. "The sum named was
three times as much as was paid for
Tris Speaker, and, of course, is far
and away bigger than any figure
that has been used in baseball. But
it is rediculous to talk about it.
Ruth Is our Big Ace. He's the
most-talked-of, most- sought- for,
most-colorful ball player in the
gume."
The lease of she Red Sox on Ma
jestic Park, Hot Springs, expired
this spring and it Is probable they
will not condition themselves ;it the
Arkansas spa vor a year or two.
Harry Frazee is understood to be
contemplating taking the team to
Honolulu next spring. It seems
that he promised the players this
treat. What advantages there will
be in such a iunket nobody can see.
as after leaving Hawaii they will
lie idle for six days or so on th-ni

them the Honolulu holiday the Sox
will train in California in 1919.
