Galahad threw another jolt into the Reading team last evening, when for the second time this season they won from the railroaders by a score of 8 to 5. Shay and Fohl, the "kid' battery, played clever ball and stood off their opponents through a live inning tilt. "Red" Foiand proved a star in his first game for the winner. This grammar school lad landed on the first ball pitched for a home run. the bail rolling to deep center field. Bach of the bat he also handled all chances without a rniscue. "Kid" Shay was also on the job, fanning seven batters, while at the bat he was credited with two hits. Foland's homer in the first gave Galahad their first tally. They scored another in the second when Holland walked and came home on pitcher Shay's three bagger. They put the same on ice in the third when C'o baugh got to first on an error, stole second, and went to third when an error was committed on Hinkle's hatted ball. Hinkle stole and both runners crossed the plate on "Bill Reiff's double. Wingard singled, went to second on Miller's fielders choice and came home when Shay again hit timely.

McCurdy and Ehling were the heavy sticksmiths fbr the losers, while "Bill" Reiff and Shay batted timely for the winners. Manager Pressler protested the game, claim ing that the rules of the league were broken in playing only five innings. The rules read that seven innings shall constitute a game, unless rain or darkness interferes. At the start of the game. Umpire Shickley agreed with the two teams that only five innings should be played because of a drizzle that had already set in.

The announcement says that in one city a woman whose yard ad joins the ball park has been selling seats in a tree, the prices being five and ten cents depending on how high the patron has to climb. Re cently the price has advanced to six and eleven cents, the extra cent being added to the war revenues. "Ed" Colson, of Hutchinson, 111., has queried the attorney general for a suggestion as to how boxcar gaz ers at ball games may be compelled to pay a war tax. In many cities be sides Hutchinson, non-paying fans take in all ball games from the top of boxcars and houses near the park, and Mr. Colson believes that even If they do not pay admissions, tlyy should come across with their shares of Uncle Sam's war expenses.

Benny Leonard, of New York, lightweight champion of the world, who is now serving his country as boxing instructor to the army, with the rank of lieutenant, may be seen in the ring in Gettysburg on Me morial Day, if plans now under way are consummated. On that day a big sport carnival will be staged on Nixon Field, Gettysburg, by the Ta/nk Corps. U. S. A., stationed at Camp Colt, in which several boxing contests will be featured, Lieut. Tucker, direc tor of athletics at Camp Colt, yesterday communicated with the committee on war training camp activities with the object of obtain ing its authority to have Leonard appear at Nixon Feld. Lieut. Tuck er expects a favorable reply, if it is possible for the lightweight cham pion to be in Gettysburg on the day of the meet. Already a suitable opponent has been selected for the New York title holder, but his name will be with- Baseball as She Is Writ in Gay Paree As the Telegraph keeps Its read ers informed baseball is capsizing all other in Europe. A famous war correspondent of France, Adolphe Max, got so en thused over a diamond contest that he has penned this mad melee of description, saying: '•This game, of which our beloved comrades in arms speak in terms grand, is of a puzzle to the uninitl ater, and it is of this reason that I, who have come at once from one of the combats, should make all clear. Briefly, this game is performed with-, out the houses and a long instrument —she is of wood and is Jocularly denominated 'bat' —with which the players, of which there are eighteen divided in half, make collision with the ball, thereby escaping injuries serious. Stationed where they can not interfere with the viewpoint of the spectators are the players. "Now, my dear friends, that you a clear comprehension of this game have gained, I shall proceed as the sportman writers American do and apportion the battle into nine phase's: Alert! Again Alert! "Inning No. I—Alert! Nine of these players have the field travers ed. Each of* them have with cau tion protected their hands right and one has had the wisdom superb to safeguard his anatomique with a cushion pneumatique. Again, alert! a gentleman in uniform blue speaks with feeling of the artillery (in the technique of the game it is announc ing the batteries), a player takes a posture facing him and waves the 'bat.' i "It is possible he conspires to kill his opponent No. 9—he of the cush ion pneumatique who stands direct ly to the rear. Ah, yes! that it is —for see opponent No. 1, with thought of magnificent quickness, hurls the ball madly at this would be Apache. Caere! He has missed! But fast does he of the cushion pneumatique return the ball iyena.de to his savior. And the player with the great club? < "Palerme! he is hardened and plays with his victim, saying, "I'll get him on the one next.' "Once more, my friend —alert! See the bull grenade is again the air in! What rapidity! What certainty HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH held until it is definitely decided whether Leonard can take part in a bout. Benny Leonard proved himself one of the most patriotic boxers in the country when the cry went up for men to instruct the army in box ing, the science of which closely re sembles that of bayonet fighting. Leonard gave up a fortune and per haps his career in the ring to offer his services to the committee on Training Camp Activities. He has been stationed at Camp Upton in New York and has been instru mental in teaching the art of boxing to many thousands of soldiers. If Leonard goes to Gettysburg he will appear before the most prom ising fighters in the United States army. The Tank service—the "Treat Em Rough" outfit they call it, is composed of the finest fighting material that could be assembled, and with a few more months of training will be prepared to ride to Berlin in their armored Lizzies. of aim—ah, quake, thou Apache rasea of the club! But no! How this is. The villain degraded has cunningly hit the grenade with his club, the spectators by half are wild ly indignant (shouting 'toubaggere, toubaggere!' meaning, one of theni informed me, revenge). Toubaggere Means Revenge "Their clubber, his dark heart, it is no doubt to me, palpitating, takes to his heels. He runs with splendid quickness direct at a player who is standing on a mat. It is pax ap parent this player is a confederate, for the vile Apache converses with him amicably and stays there, It la no me - t0 for m a league for evil further. It is clear that here M. Max's at tention was diverted to something besides the Apache' and. incident ally the game, because he closes inning No. 1" by saying. "The players reversed their position, and a sign significant of zero was hung up to an accompaniment of cheers " Discussing the spectators. Max noted their strained expressions and attributed them to "the practice of drinking flavored water carbonique from bottles." He states that he was surprised to find spectators throwing these bottles at the "gen tleman in the uniform blue," and that he finally Inquired about it. A very polite soldier who had just hurled his bottle told Max that the gentleman was suspected of being a Bocne. Concluding his account, the French Journalist assures his readers that the hint about the gentleman being ®°^ he . didn't get past him, and that he immediately placed the gen tleman as "suspect" with the near est office of the intelligence service.

Mermaid Barred For Waywardness What do you know about this? Thte mighty nation of Australia would bar its cleverest woman amateur swimmer from competing in Amer ica because of "feminine wayward ness." And list to what they mean by waywardness. As told in the Telegraph yesterday, Fanny Durack, the star of star mermaids in the land of the kangaroo and boomerang, is on the way over here with the ob ject of proving that Australia can beat the world in the finny sport. Ahead of her came a cable from the Athletic Committee that she must not be allowed to compete here for reasons to be given later. It devel ops now, according to a story in the Sydney Referee, that: "Miss Fanny Durack has once more [ demonstrated the waywardness of ! woman by insisting upon taking the j law into her own hands in defiance ' of constituted authority. She said, j 'I won't' a couple of years ago when it was first suggested that one (or j more) woman swimmer should visit i America in response' to an invitation received from that country. "Miss Durack said 'I won't' again ' the other day when the same mat- i ter was bofore the committee or a i general meeting of the N. S. W. I* A. ■ S. A. These won'ts were not abso lute refusals to go to the United J States. Miss Durackf was as anx ious to see that great country as j ■most Australians are, out, woman- j like, she wanted her own way in the matter. She desired on the first oe- i casion that the outfit should be J wholly Durack—Fanny Durack, the ] representative, and Fanny Durack's sister the chaperon. Not Heal Amateurism "She did not desire the company of even Miss Mina Wylie. Whether Miss Wylie was barred by the latest won't, deponent knoweth not. Both won'ts were refusals to allow the Ladies' Association to appoint a chaperon who would also act as man ageress unless that body could be induced to look upon Miss Durack's demand with favor. This, of course, could not be thought of for a mo ment. It Is sisterly and natural that Miss Durack should endeavor to have a member of her own family as companion on a trip so pregnant with promise of pleasure. It was not, however, a purely family affair with the association; it was a matter of business, and the best-qualltled per son had to be selected. "If Fanny Durack's sister had the required experience and the necessary attributes, which amount to a great deal, that will easily occur to the. thinker, there would be nothing against the two sisters going on the long jaunt together beyond that it might be a free and easy sort of amateurism which allowed such a thing." Pennant and Cup For Tech Basketball Champions The annual spring meeting of the officers of the Central Penn basket ball league will be held at the Uni versity Club Saturday morning at 11 o'clock. The purpose of the meet ing is to arrange the schedule for the coming basketball season. The circuit will likely remain the same with possibly Lancaster admitted in place of Central. Lancaster was a member several years ago. but drop ped the sport because of the luck of a gymnasium. It is understood the new gym is ready for the indoor sport. Tech will also be awarded the pennant of this season, as well as the Reading-Times cup that is in possession of Reading. President C. E.

Two bad innings for the Academy did the damage when Central pounded the ball freely and there were a number of infield errors. The rest of the game was tight. Esquerro held the mound for *he Academy and pitched good ball out side of the two bad innings. Goodiel's work for Central was excellent, as he held the Academy to two hits.

I COLLARS FOR SPRING CASCO-2W<>u I MAY 23, 1918. bIL CARROLL W. FITZGERALD Big Blow on Flanders Front Now Looked For London, May 23.—The Manchester Guardian military expert says: "Indications are slight, but so far as they go they would seem to point to the possibility that the main weight of the German attack in Flanders will be at the two extreme ends of the Allied lines, north of Givenchy and north of Ypres. The object of such a maneuver would be to get athwart of any possible re tirement from Ypres should their next advance meet with initial suc cess. "The mere occupation of Ypres by their armies would be a hollow vic tory if the army that has held it so long were to retire, and their aim Is not so much, at this stage of the war, to win positions as to reduce the effective fighting strength of the Allies. Small successes dearly bought are worse than useless to them. Unless they get all, they had better have rested content with noth ing and economized their manpower. Therefore, when the Germans do at tack it will be on a great scale". "What they would like most of all would be to break through toward Amiens and south of the Sommc, for that would separate the two armies and destroy the efficacy of the united command, which they recognize to be the most important victory of Allied military policy since the occupation of Passchendaele Ridge. Failing that, they would like to make some strategic coup which, while not sep arating the British and French, would cut off a portion of the Allied forces in Flanders. "But, except by a surprise, they have no chance of bringing oft the victory they desire. It will be a sur prise of weight: that is to say, while they will probably attack all along the line, they will choose some important point at which to concen trate, as they hope, overwhelming forces. That is why our reconnais sance work Is the most important work that our air service can do. The days of natural fog are drawing to a close, but therb is such a thing as artificial fog and it must be re membered that what gave the Ger mans their first start at St. Quentin was the early morning fog."

This measure Is the most drastic ever enacted to catch and punish the enemy agent who commits an overt disloyal act. It imposes a prison term of twenty years, a fine of SIO,OOO or both on any person who writes, prints or utters anything tending to obstruct a Liberty Loan campaign, recruiting for the army or navy, or anything villifying the government or officials, or tending to incite resistance to them or who by word or deed favors the oause of Germany or her allies. It takes away mail privileges from persons convicted of violating it. If a man violates the act, no mail ad dressed to him and none sent out by him, will be delivered. It is one of a trio of laws Presi dent Wilson asked Congress to enact to strengthen the government in dealing with internal enemies. The others are the hills penalizing sabot age and destruction of war materials and that including women under the terms of the enemy alien law. All are now in effect.
