TONIGHTS GAME
Hick-A-Thrift vs. Rosewood.
Shay, the youthful Galahad twir
ler, won his second league contest
last evening, • giving the Reading
tossers their first taste of defeat for
the season. The railroad team ap
peared too confident after having
started the season wit,h three
straight triumphs. Only once did
Shay show signs of weakening, when ;
the losers bunched hits for a total of j
three runs. The "Green Sox" went
right after the game from the start,
and secured a lead that Manager
Pressler's nine could not overcome.
The losing team played rather list
less ball the first three innings and
when they finally awoke, the game
was lost.
In addition to tossing superb ball,
the youthful Shay knocked out three
timely hits, two of which went for
two sacks. On the first double two
runs crossed the pan. His final
double scored another run that won
the game. It is likely that the lad
will be given a chance to do some
more hitting, by being placed in the
outfield when he is not in the box
for Manager Fritz.
In the second inning "Bill" Reiff
goL the first of his trio of hits. Mil
ler sacriced. Gilbert knocked out a
neat single. Shay's hit scored ReifE
and Gilbert. T'he Galahads repeated
the trick in the next session. Co
baugh got a two-bagger. Fortna
went to first on an error, Cobaugh
going to third. Reiff drove in both
runners with a clean single.
The Reading bunch pulled itself
together in the fifth frame, counting
a trio of tallies. With Piatt retired,
W. Euker tripled; McCurdy drove]
out a double that scored Euker.
Shartle followed with another tJTree!
bagger that sent McCurdy across the
rubber. On Levan's sacrice fly,
Shartle tallied.
The "Knights" scored their win
ning run in the sixth when Wingard
doubled. Gilbert made an infield hit,
and F' y'.s double scored the decid
ing lally. In the final half, the
losers tried hard to tie the score.
Shartle got a life on Holand's error.
Gilbert had two passed balls, and
Shartle landed on third. The latter
scored when Levan lifted a sacrifice
fly to deep center. To-night the
Rosewoods lineup against Hick-A-
Fhrift. To-morrow evening, the post
poned contest of Monday will be
played by the Galahad and Rose

STAR ATHLETES
PICKED FOR MEET
Tech Boys Will Do Their Best
to Bepeat Victory of
Last Year
Sixteen members of the Tech track
team will leave Friday afternoon at
2.4 7 for Pittsburgh, where they -.vill
participate in the twelfth annual
intercollegiate and interscholastic
field and track meet held under the
auspices of the University of Pitts
burgh. The event will begin Satur
day at 12.30 at Schenley Oval.
Last year Tech sent a team to the
Pitt meet for the first time, and
the Maroon lads ran away with thp
pick of the teams from Western
Pennsylvania, as well as those from
Ohio. A majority of the athletes
are members of the freshman and
sophomore classes, and while the
squad is not as well-balanced as last
season, Tech stands good chances
because of the heavy scoring power
of several bright, particular stars in
the squad.
Carl Beck, who proved his worth
at Franklin Field several weeks ago,
is entered in eleven out of the twen
ty-five events. While time will make
it impossible for him to take a whirl
at all of them, yet if given a chance,
it is likely that he could land a place
in each one of the eleven events
in which he has been entered. While
Beck is the bright spot in the list of
athletes whom Coach Hill hi.s
groomed to bring home the honors,
supporting the Tech sophomore are
a number of clever athletes who are
not to be denied.
The entire squad that will make
the trip includes C. Beck, J. Beck,
W. Keane, Wilsbach, Garrett, Ma
lick, Hoffsommer, Sparrow, Boyer,
Heagy, Ebner, Oscar Miller, Hinkle,
Shue, Ebert and Doyle. The entries:
100-yard dash—C. Beck, Garrett,
Wilsbach. Malick and Miller.
220-yard dash—entries same as
the century.
4 10-yard dash —C. Beck, Malick,
Garrett, Ebner, Miller, Hoffsommer.
Half-mile run —.T. Beck, Hinkle,
Keane, Sparrow, Hoffsommer, Shue.
120-yard high hurdles —C. Beck,
Boyer, Heagy, Miller, Wilsbach.
220-low hurdles —same as the high
hurdles.

Broad jump—C. Beck, Boyer, Eb
ner, Miller.

While Ray Caldwell Is regularly
employed by the Yankees as a pitch

a pinch hitter. In two recent games
with the Tigers at the Polo Grounds
he was called upon as a pinch hitter
on two consecutive days, and deliv
ered a hit each time. In another
game, while pitching against the
Tigers, he made a two-base drive
which scored two runners and cinch

"Bobby" Clark, born and raised in

closed with the score handcuffed,

with Duncannon in the Dauphin-
Perry League and with the# New
York State L.eague since he quit
school at Susquehanna University.
He made good yesterday for Man
ager Cockil! with an almighty wal
lop that cleared left field fence by
thirty feet, sailing over the score
board. It was a real haymaker, the
longest hit made on the Steelton
grounds, and it will be a good while
before anyone smites a longer
thrust. Pierce was tattooed by the
Philadelphia cops like honest voters
in a Philadelphia election riot.
Pierce, however, is troubled with in
cipient pleurisy and cannot show his
best at this stage.
Sam (Red) Crane, the shortstop,
who learned baseball on the lOnola
lots, has been dubbed by big leaguers
who are watching him In Atlanta as
"the greatest shortstop in the game,
the equal of Maranville or Bancroft."

GOVERNOR ASKS
CHIEFS TO WORK
Tells Heads of Departments
of the State Government to
Line Up For Denny O'Neil
All heads of departments of the
state government in the city to-day
were summoned to Governor Martin
G. Brumbaugh's office and told by the
Governor without waste of words that
he was keenly interested in the nom
ination of J. Denny O'Neil for gover
nor and that he deslfed them to do
what they could for him and also for
the nomination of men who would be
favorable to the ratification by the
legislature of the Prohibition amend
ment. The notice was the first to
come from the Governor, although
for weeks word has been going out
from the Governor's offices to line up
people for O'Neil.
It was simply a family gathering.
I invited them to come here and ask
ed that they do what they could for
the amendment and Mr. O'Neil," said
the Governor after it was over. "I
hope they will do what they can," he
added.
The Governor was not expected here
to-day. He came here front Pitts
burgh instead of going to Philadel
phia before going to Reading and
after telling of the great Interest
which he thought the people were
showing in the campaign gave his
talk.
While the Governor was telling his
desires, committees were covering
the Capitol seeking contributions
from Dauphin countians for the O'Neil
campaign fund. Even the stenograph
ers and women clerks were not" ex
empt. They were told that contri
butions would be "appreciated." Some
snags were struck, notably at the
State Insurance Fund where one ot
the "salary tappers" was told that
the employes preferred to have State
Treasurer Kephart, chairman of the
board which runs the fund, give the
orders and not outsiders.
"Bert" Thomas and 'Lou" Irwin, a
couple of clerks, were active In mak
ing up the lists, it is understood.
Thomas declared, when asked about
his activities that it was "all a fig
menijßt aome reporter's mind," and
that "newspapermen's fertile brains"
were responsible for the stories. He
alleged he was engaged in War Stamp
