To-night's Game
Rosewood vs. Galahad.
After playing rather listless ball
for six Innings last evening, the
Hick-A-Thrift nine suddenly came
to life in their final turn at bat and
before the game was over, they
| had sent a quartet of tallies across
! the pan. But the damage had al
ready been done and the contest
ended with the Rosewoods leading,
6 to 4. The result causes a tie be
tween the Rosewood nine and the
Galahads for second position. These
two teams play their postponed
game from Monday night this even
ing and a close game should result.
Goodiel started in the box for the
losers, but after tossing one and
one-third innings, he was succeeded
by "Shorty" Ziegler. "Jing" John
son was on the mound for the
"Rosies," and except for the last
inning when he eased up a bit," the
Pine Streeters never had a chance.
I In the first inning, Earl Killinger
scratched a hit to third base. Lyme
walked. G. Killinger singled, scoring
his brother. Lyme came in on
Beck's error. In the next frame,
the winners duplicated with another
duo of runs. "Bill" Hoerner walked.
Johnson singled to right. Lyme's
double scored the two runners.
Another pair came in the fifth.
Lyme was given a pass. The young
er Killinger walked. Mell also was
given the first bag, and the total
was brought to six when "Eddie"
Harris landed a solid single to cen
ter.
Murray Washburn's team took on
new life in the final inning. Goodiel
walked for the third time. After
fouling off seven balls, Catcher
Kirby singled to left. Ziegler crack
ed one to center field and Goodiel
scored the first tally. Garverich
tripled over first base and two more
runners crossed the plate. Beck's
single through short brought the
total to four. Frank popped a fly
to Mell, and Wilsbach struck out,
ending the game. George Bender
broke into the game at first for
Rosewood. He played a smart game
in the field and secured a triple.
"Doughnuts" Wilsbach was on first
base for the "Hickies." The sum
mary:

BAN JOHNSON IS
AFTERSLACKERS
Takes Issue With Charles M.
Schwab on Ball-Playing
Shipbuilders
Chicago, May 16. —Baseball play
ers of the major leagues who have
sought employment in shipyards and
other war Industries in an apparent
attempt to evade military service
"should be yanked into the Army by
the coat collar," President Ban
Johnson, of the American League,
said in a statement given out here
to-night.
President Johnson said he had
taken up the question with Charles
M. Schwab, who is in charge of the
government's shipbuilding program,
and that the latter assured him that
no overtures would be made to play
ers in Class A-l to engage in ship
building work.
Joe Jackson, star outfielder of the
Chicago Club, is the latest American
League played to engage in the ship
building industry. When informed
by his exemption board in Green
ville, S. C., that he had been ad
vanced ' from Class 4 to Class 1,
Jackson went to work in a plant at
Wilmington, Del.
Contradicting previous reports,
Connie Mack, manager of the Phila
delphia Club, advised President
Johnson last night that neither Mer
lin Kopp nor Robert Gearv. two
members of his club, had left the
team to engage in shipbuilding work.
West End at Lancaster;
Red Rose Boys Strong
There will be a good game of ball
at Fourth and Seneca streets to-mor

Tech Boys Go to Pittsburgh
to Compete in Trackmeet
The Technical High School ath
letes left to-day for Pittsburgh to
compete in the University of Pitts
burgh intercollegiate and loterscho
iastic field and trackmeet at Schen
ley Oval to-morrow afternoon. Ev
eryone in Harrisburg should be in
terested in the outcome of this Im
portant event, for the capital city Is
right now turning out stars of the
first water, who bring great honor
to the community. The criticism has
been made that Harrisburg does not
recognize her heroes until toey
achieve renown after leaving town.
This was said of Clarence Beck, now
a national phenomenon. His young
er brother. Carl, is the best bet in
this squad of youths who left ♦o-day
for the purpose of keeping Harris
burg on (he map. Beck cleaned up
at the Middle AtJantic states meet
recently In Philadelphia and he will
undoubtedly be hearo from to-mor
row. "Tony" Wilsbach, discus
thrower, Is going to give all hands a
battle at Schenley Ovat for the laurel
wreath, and Coach Hill has plenty
of other talent which should give a
good account.

expects to be elected. His campaign
cards say: 'He has always stood and
will stand for a 'dry' state and nation,
and for the rights of men and women
in our shops and on our farms. Un
able to walk since childhood, yet with
the assistance of a devoted mother's
musical ability was educated and won
out over hundreds of others in school
and college."
