It required the Reading team eight
innings to nose out a 5 to 4 victory
over the Hick-A-Thrift tossers last
evening in an Allison Hill contest.
It was the first extra inning game of
the season. When "Bill" Euker slid
over the plate with two out in the
eighth, tho shades of night were fust
setting in.
In an effort to land the battle,
both managers used two twirlers.
Hanson, a product of the Milton Silk
League, started for the railroaders,
but was relieved by George Levan,
after the losers began to use their
bats to advantage. "Jan" Irwin held
the winners to few hits, but with
two on in the final session and none
out, Garverich was pulled from
canter field to make use of his
blinding speed with darkness fast ap
proaching. But for an error by
Eyster at third, he would have held ■
the victors to a tie score.
The "Hlckies" outhit their oppo
nents 10 to 7. George Levan hit safe
ly two out of three times at bat. His
record for the season is seven hits
out of eight times up. Carl Beck was
again on the job with his warelub,
whaling out a double and a triple,
which scored most of the losers'
tallies.
In the final frame "Vic" Ibach got
a Texas leaguer, and "Bill" Euker
followed suite with another safety.
McCurdy struck out, but both run
ners advanced on a passed ball.
Levan hit to the pitcher and Ibach
was nailed at home. When Garver
ich' threw to Eyster to catch W.
Euker off third, the latter dusted for
home and tallied the winning run
when Eyster missed the ball. It was
the third defeat for the losers and
the third victory for the league lead
ers. The Hick-A-Thrift team played
a hard game, and while they have
failed to register a victory to date,
they have lost all of their games by
close margins. To-night the Galahads
will oppose the Keadingites. The
postponed contest from Monday
night between Bosewood and Gala-'
had will he played Friday night. An
other crowd of over 1,000 was on
hand for the game. The lineup and

Tech Tennis Stars Will Go
i Alter Academy This Season
With but four more # weeks of
school, the Tech High school tennis
wielders will go after the local
scholastic honors of the city in the

up in the city championships, and a
member of the Harrisburg tennis
team, is arranging contests with the
Central and Academy teams.
The drawing in the preliminary
matches is: Sam Arch vs. Joe

George 'Beard vs. Fink, Saltzer vs. (
Stehman Bell, Brough vs. Hartmire,

opposing institutions.
The team is under the direction !
of Professor IT. B. Shreiner. a mem
ber of the faculty. While Tech has
won from the other high school, for
the past three years they have been
losers to the up-river lads at the
Academy. They will direct their ef
forts this season to landing a vic
tory from them.
SUNDAY BASEDAII, AT CAPITA!,
WnNhlnsrton, May 15. Sunday
baseball will be played in Washing
ton, starting next Sunday, May 19,
by American League clubs. The
Board of Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia yesterday legal
ized playing of professional games
on Sunday by rescinding regulations
prohibiting them. The large increase
of the population of the District
since the war and the need of pro
viding recreation and amusement
were given by the Commissioners as
the reasons for their action.
NO BASEBALL
IN MARYSVILLE
Collapse of Dauphin-Perry
League Makes War Garden
of the Town Diamond
Marysville, Pa., May 15.—After
furnishing the best kind of semi
professional baseball ever seen in
this county and some of the best
ever seen in Dauphin county during
the past three seasons, the Dauphin-
Perry League, operating in six towns
in the two counties, has gone out of
existence. At leqst it will not be in
operation during the 1918 season.
Organized in 1915. the league
continually bettered the grade of
ball played and with it advanced
the cost of supporting a team in the
several towns until during the lat
ter part of the 1917 season the costs
reached an exorbitant limit for
towns the size found in the Dauphin-
Perry. So with conditions in such
a state of affairs the season of 1917
ended and the spark of enthusiasm
in most of the towns merely smould
ered along if it did not die out alto
gether. This condition, together
with the , complications arising as
the result of the war, are the causes
which will prevent the Dauphin-
Perry from getting into action this
yea r.
For a period, prospects were
bright for the league getting into
action with four of the six teams
represented, but Newport was the
only town that took any decided
steps to place a team in the field.
There was absolutely no effort made
in the three Dauphin county towns,
Dauphin, Halifax and Millersburg,
to reorganize the associations in
those place with the purpose of
placing a team in the field. Dun
cannon would have lined up had the
other towns done so, and it is be
lieved Marysville would also have
fallen in line a month ago. but now
the only baseball diamond in the
town has been plowed up to furnish
food for the Allies, and so there will
be no baseball in Marysville this
year.
Thus ends the brilliant three-year
history of the Dauphin-Perry base
ball league. i

Coach Pritchard Picks
Academy Tennis Team
as He Leaves For Front
The Harrisburg Academy tennis
squad met yesterday at the close of
school and Coach Pritchard an
nounced that he had chosen a tem
porary team consisting of Schreiner,
. Sheaft'er, Zea, Newlin, Lee and
Campbell. Only four of these men
will participate in any varsity con
tests and these four will be chosen
by competition as any man has a
right to challenge another for his
place on the team. A large num
ber of challenges will probably be
made but it is doubtful if these will
be any changes as these six men are
those who remain in the tennis tour
nament now in progress at the Acad
emy. Lee is an exception to this,
having been defeated by Zea with a
narrow margin.
The tennis tournament has been
interrupted but will now continue
and the semifinals will be played off
this week. The winner of the tour
nament will bo selected as captain
and the winner and runner-up will
serve as a committee on prizes. The
doubles tournament will begin soon
after the close of the present tour
nament and should be an interesting
exhibition of tennis.
Coach Pritchard is soon to leave
the school to join the colors and will
leave a hard vacancy to fill. He has
shown ablity as both a baseball and
tennis) coach, being familiar with
both games.
Railroad Motive Power
Men Will Have Big Time

THISTLE SEED
IN CATTLE FEED
State Authorities Round Up
New Kind of Crooks in Sur
vey of the Foodstuffs
Five prosecutions against dealers
or manufacturers selling mlsbranded
feeding stuffs, one found to contain
thistle seeds, were ordered this week
by Secretary of Agriculture Charles
E. Patton. The feeding stuffs cases
consisted of a sample representing a
shipment which contained 50 per
cent. less food elements than
claimed and was adulterated with
ground buckwheat hulls and cocoa
shells. Another sample represented
a feed adulterated with ground cocoa
shells with a false statement of com
position and supplied only three
fourths of the food nutrients guar
anteed. The other feed cases were
ordered for prosecution as the analy
ses of sample showed false and mis
leading guarantees for protein. Two
tines of SSO each have just been re
ceived in feeding stuffs cases ordered
in March, where the analyses of
samples showed false guarantees
and adulteration with low grade by
products also consisting of buck
wheat hulls and ground cocoa shells.
Secretary Patton says: "Although
the supply of feeds is restricted and
many products entering into the
preparation of mixed feeds are
scarce, owing to war conditions, it is
no time to manufacture and sell
feeds which do not comply with the
requirements and which are clearly
cases of adulteration and fraud. The
present high prices of feed should be
all the more of a reason why the
best .feeds possible should be sup
plied and why consumers should not
be taken advantage of during this
time. It is a patriotic duty on the
part of feed producers to' te'll the
truth with respect to guarantees."
Two turpentine prosecutions con
sisted of two cases where shipments
were sold as pure turpentine and
which were found, upon analysis, to
be adulterated with mineral spirits
to the extent of approximately 16
and 38 per cent.
One seed prosecutions was result
of the examination of a sample
which was found to contain Canada
thistle in excessive amounts.
Dauphin Gives Fifty-Two
of Its Youths to the War;
Off For Columbus Barracks
Fifty-two lads from Dauphin coun
ty, twenty-live of whom were from
Harrisburg. who left the Pennsylva
nia railroad station for Columbus
Barracks, Ohio, at 8 o'clock last
evening, this morning were sworn in
as a part of the great National
Army of America. Three hundred
and three men were in the train of
fourteen coaches which assembled at
the station last evening.
"We must win this war, and to do
it a lot of fellows must leave home,
but we are coming back again with
victory."
This assurance on the part of one
of the registrants as he boarded the
train last night was a summary of
the spirit shown by all the men. The
draft contingent last night showed
the same earnest spirit to do its besf
that has marked the attitude of ever;
draft contingent that has yet beei
sent from the city.
At the station there were nume
o-
us scenes of hardship where the
loved ones of the draftees found the
pain of parting- too great to be hid
ien even from the eyes of the
srowd. One young girl, parting
from her sweetheart, was. unable to
stand the ordeal and fainted as the
moment of departure drew near.
