The Galahad players were re tired in one, two, three order throughout the innings. On the other hand they played anything but haseball. In all they committed a round dozen of errors. Boatman, a new player, was in the box for the losers, and because of his wildness he had himself in a bole continually. In the very first inning, Earl Killinger bounced a hard hit ball off Shay's shins. Then Boatman walked three men in suc cession, forcing in a run. Lyme singled to center, scoring Geary and Bender. When Catcher Gilbert in terfered with the batter, both John son and Lyme came home. Five runs were scored in the first frame, and from then on it was just a ques tion of how large the score would be. McCleaf held the "Green Sox" in check at all times. In addition to being unable to hit, they were un able to hold the ball and twelve er rors were chalked up against them. The winners were credited with twelve stolen bases. It was a mis erable exhibition, and by far the poorest game of the season. Monday night Heading and Rosewood, tied for first place, will fight it out, and the largest crowd of the season wilt likely be on hand. In their first game the Reading team won a hard contest from the Rosewood aggrega tion. The line-lip and summary: ROSEWOOD AR. R. H. O. A. E. K.

Capital City Sports nazleton, May 18.—Hugh McGee han, of this city, a student at Villa nova College, where he is on the baseball team, has been offered a berth with Steelton, of the Bethle hem Steel League at the expiration of the school term. McGeehan comes from a family of baseball players. His father, Patrick McGeehan, now deceased, was a noted infielder and his uncle, James McGeehan, man aged the Allentown and Tamaqua teams of the Atlantic League in 1908. McGeehan's brother. Connie, pitched for Holy Cross, the Philadel phia Athletics and for Toronto until his health failed and he died. The first of a series of "Twilight Shoots" was held last evening on the Harrisburg Sportsman's Association traps at Second and Division streets.

Fourth and Seneca streets grounds will see a good battle this afternoon when the West End A. C. tackles the Engineers' and Firemen's Club. A feature of the game will be the fact that the Waltz brothers will oppose each other, one playing the back stop position for the Engineers adn the other hurling for the West End ers. The game will be called at 2 o'clock, instead of 3, so that it will not interfere with the mammoth Red Cross demonstration. On Sunday aft ernoon the West Enders will play the Eighth Ward team, of Lancaster, on the latter's diamond. A large crowd of local fans will make the trip with the team. / Cobb Still Active 1y Cobb is in his thirty-second year. He has been playing with the Detroits since 1905, the only year in which his batting average was less than .300. The Georgia peach has been the champion batsman of the American league at the end of each campaign since 1907, excepting 1916, when Triij Speaker had a better average. Cobb's greatest batting record was .420, being hung up in 1911. Last year he battd .383, and never played more brilliantly. In spite of advancing years, Cobb is still is in his prime. He is easily the greatest ball player of all time, and he is worth the $20,000 sal ary which the Detroit club lias been paying to him since 1914. As a drawing card, Tyrus Ray mond stands at the head of the class. TRACK STARS OF HARRISBURG WHO COMPETE AT PITTSB ■' . 8 ■BHWMP Jh P *PI ... 'PM CARL BECK Watch the ticker to-day for re-] suits at Schenley Oval where two Harrisburg athlete heroes, Carl Reck and "Toney" Wilsbaeh, will be competing with the crack stars of the intercollegiate and interscholas tic world gathered in Pittsburgh un der the auspices ot the University of that city. The Tech squad left in charge of their trainer early yester day afternoon in order to get a rest and be in prime shape for the big event to-day when Beck will set himself to clean up as he did re cently in Philadelphia. It is believ ed by the sharps here that Wils baeh will run uway with the discus record of ail competitors after his showing the island, but then you can never tell an umbrella by the cover. One thing certain is tht all in the party were in good shape with no sore muscles and if they do not pui a dent into Pittsburgh it will be be cause there was better talent in the state schools. The most interesting contestant fro ma Harrisburgviewpoint is this same Carl Beck who has been win ning laurels with ease and precision for many a day, in some instances outdistancing his renowned brother, Clarence Beck, now in the Ambu lance Corps at Allentown and book ed soon for France. These lads were born and reared liere of a sturdy father and mother who to-day gave a Telegraph representative some facts about their early tutelage, showing that any boy or girl can overcome handicaps of weak consti tution. "Neither Clarence or Carl were strong children," said Mrs. Beck. "Indeed we thought they would The Funniest Play "Thn funniest play I ever saw in baseball," says Miller Huggins, "happened one day in a game be tween Pittsburgh and the St. Ijouis Cardinals when Roger Bres nahan was manager. Mike Mow rey hit-.a ball to right center. Mike started on the hit and after turning second saw the coacher at third waving him to go back, as he thought the ball would be caught. Mike turned back and was running at full speed with his head down when Evans came along toward second base, also with head down. The two heads met and the two players went down and out. The ball was thrown in and both were tagged. They were out then, sure." Academy Team Plays at Lancaster Coach Gavin put his Harrisburg Academy nine through a light prac tice last night preparatory to their game with Yeates School at Lan caster to-day. Though Yeates made a poor showing In football last fall against the blue and gold their base ball ability is not known. The Academy has usually come out on top in past contests and hopes to land a victory to-day. Manager Shreiner will accompany the team and has made all arrangements. The attempt to start the Blue Ridge League with Frederick, Mar {insburg, llagerstown and Cumber land as the circuit, has met with all kinds of stops and starts. After heroic measures apparently had Martinsburg fixed up, along comes news from Frederick that the or ganization in Barbara Frletchle's town "has gone to pieces. Several things have contributed to the fail ure to start. First, people have other and better places to put their money than in financing baseball clubs. In the second place, bigger leagues have overblu themselves for players, and the draft has taken most of the material Into the Army. ■FT /i ■L. - "TONEY" WILSBAqjI never grow up, they were so sickly until about six yeais of age. Goins to school seemed to help both of them and as they began to take part in sports they improved rapidly." "You allowed them to go in for sports, then, did you?" Mrs. Beck laughed heartily and Mr. Beck blinked somewhat abash ed. "W®r, he," pointing to her better half" was dead against all athletics and he used to punish both Clarence and Car] for playing ball. I was the one who stepped in and took their part. No, Mr. Beck couldn't see it thnt way until the boys began to attract attention." Mr. Beck duly acknowledged his wife's omniscience. He is a very husky person himself, with mighty arms and deep chest and it is not remark able that the boys have great strength. "What did you feed these athletes on?" was asked Mrs. Beck. "Anything and everything," she smiled. "Meat and cabbage mostly. I should say. They always got enough and that's one reason why they are so husky." In the Beck family, yet to be heard from, is another athletic child, namely, Sarah, aged fifteen who with Annie Emmanuel promises to_ be come a champion swimmer. "Yes, Sarah can do l.icst anything the boys can." related Mrs. Beck, and to tell the truth she is jealous of their fame. She would like to do what they are doing. Perhaps she will become the greatest woman ath lete: I would not hinder her, be cause I think athletics are a very fine developer of character. Clar ence is so kind to children; on an evening he will be surrounded with a dozen youngsters who know him and love him because he is kind." Schreiner Defeats Campbell in Academy "Tournament Paul Campbell arrived at the finals of the Academy tennis tourna ment yesterday when ho defeated Nelson Schreiner in the semifinals. Campbell took the first set 6-1 and seemed on the way to an easy (Vic tory, but Schreiner tightened and took the next set 6 to 3. The last set was hard fought, several games going to duce. Campbell finally triumphed with a score of 6-3. The match was attended by a large number of spectators. Tennis seems to be absorbing more Interest than baseball at the uptown school for the first time. The final match will be played early next week between Campbell and Mennert Newlin. The outcome is being watched with in terest by the members of the school. JKG CX O{.\\\Q*YKOMG£|K ; H A.

AROUND THE BASES "King" Lear, of Greencastle, old Princeton athlete, who worked in the Dauphin-Perry League at New port one season, has been released to Toronto by the Chicago Cubs. At present Lear is working for the Bell Telephone Company, in Harrisburg. Tris Speaker recently pulled off a double play unassisted. This de fensive stunt is of rare occurrence. Tris' play, which was pulled off April 23, was the first one in the American League since October 1, 1916, when it was performed by Bobby Roth retiring a pair of White Sox. Earlier that same season Tilly Walker pulled the play against the Yankees, and the year before it was done by Elmer Smith, Bert Shotton and Pete Daley. Boxing experts who have been giv ing Benny Leonard the up and down say the lightweight champion has grown so heavy it is doubtful if he can again make the weight limit. Harrisburg can furnish no dupli cate of the great wrestler from our neighboring town of Lebanon. Jack Ozar. This lad is now rated middle weight champion wrestler of the world. lie won two bouts the other night at the Winter Garden in New York, defeating Rocco Valich, of Brooklyn, in twelve minutes with a head, scissors and an arm lock. The very next night he won from Bob Emmett, of Macon, Ga., in twenty three minutes with a body lock. Both were one-fall bouts. Ozar re cently conquered Pinky Gardner, known us the Southern Cyclone, putting his shoulders down with a double body lock in sixty-one min utes, after one of the most exciting wrestling frays ever witnessed. He looks to have the championship pretty well cinched now. Earl Clauser, "Jiggs" and Mike Mowrey, both once Maroons, are now playing third base and short stop respectively with the Lebanon club. St. Mollis, May 18. —George Whit ted, star outfielder of the Philadel phia Nationals, announced yesterday that he has joined the Army, and will report at Camp Merritt, N. J., May 21. Whitted has been referred to as one of the luckiest ball players in the game, owing to his good for tune in b.eing traded to clubs that won the pennant the year he was obtained. He is 27 years old. Friends Say C. M. Bower, "Dry," Will Win in Perry New Bloomlield, Pa., May 18.— With the primaries at hand and the campaign near its close, it is freely predicted in Republican circles that C. M. Bower will win the Republi can nomination for member of the Assembly. Mr. Bower not only has been a staunch Republican of years standing but his stand for national prohibition, being in line with his life-long principles, has won for him a host of supporters. A friend of the candidate to-day said of him: "A farmer himself, Bower is strong with the farmers who have not had a representative in the House at Harrisburg for forty years. He has been for a number of years Perry county's member of the State Board of Agriculture and 1s a member of the executive commit tee. At the fiftieth anniversary con vention of the Perry County Sab bath Schools' Association last week he was unanimously elected presi- - dent of the organization. He is an upright citizen, a man of superior intelligence and he deserves to win." GALEN HALL P Mountains WtRKERSVIIIE, PA.

School Tax Increased Mill and a Half to Meet Budget Advances For New Year To meet an increase of $94,000 in the school district budget for the coming year the board at its meeting yesterday afternoon increased the tax rate from 10 to 11% mills for 1918. The addition in the budget is made up largely in salary increases for teachers and all other employes and because of the advances in maintain ence costs due to war conditions. The personal, or occupation tax, was fix ed at $1 per capita. The recommendation of Dr. F. E. Downes, city superintendent to em ploy Drs. Henry Snyder and James H. Van Sickle to make another High School survey, was approved by a vote of 5 to 2, Directors Werner and Keen opposing it. and Directors En ders, Bretz, Boyer, Baer and Witman favoring it. A discussion was start ed in the meeting when the recom mendation was made, Directors Wer ner and Keen stating under existing war conditions it would be unwise to make any further building plans at present.
