To-night's Game
Rosewood vs. Hick-A-Thrift.
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. Hinkle cracked out
another hit and stole second. "Bill"
Reiff was again on the job with a hit
that scored Hinkle.
Reading had a big session in the
third when they scored a quartet of
runs. Piatt reached first on an error,
and immediately stole. Davies walk
ed and both runners scored on Me-
Curdy's threc-basger. Levnn was
walked and stole. Ehling singled and
two more runners counted. Their last
run scored in the fifth when McCurdy
signed, went to second on a fielders'
choice, and came home on another
hit by Ehling.
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. At
the end of the fifth inning the sun
was shining, and Manager Pressler
claims that the game should have
proceeded until the end of the sev
enth inning. The protest was handed
in to President Reel. To-night
Rosewood and Hick-A-Thrift play,
while Friday evening the postponed
game between Galahad and Hick-A-
Thrift will be staged.

Something Will Drop On
Slacker Baseball Fans
Washington, May 22.—Persons
who sell seats on any roof or struc
ture overlooking a baseball park
will be obliged to pay a war tax to
the government according to an an
nouncement issued to-iKay by the
Bureau of Internal Revenue The
tax must be collected and paid by
the enterprising owner of occupant
of the building who receives pay
ment for the seats occupied by
'perchers."
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 To Treat 'E m Rough At Gettysburg.
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

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. Bilheimer, of York, is the only
officer who remains on the job. Sec
retary and Treasurer Mahlon has
gone to the Army, and Leroy Ught
ner is no longer a member of the
Reading High school faculty. Each
team will play two games with each
of the other quintets.

Central High Wins Final
Game From Academy
Central took the deciding game
of her series with the Harrisburg
Acaejemy yesterday, 11-0. 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. Both
Fields and Stone worked well behind
the bat, holding the deliveries and
throwing well.
There were several changes In the
Academy line-up, Newlln changing
from third to first, Laudermllch tak
ing Newlln's place. In the outfield
May and Wescott, two nejv men on
the team were ?iven a tryout, acquit

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."

Not Pass"

Wilson Signs Sedition
Bill; Measure Drastic;
Carries Heavy Penalties
Washington, May 23.—Enemy
propagandists in the United States
find themselves In a close-meshed
net, followingMhe signing by Presi
dent Wilson yesterday of the "sedi
tion bill."
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.
The Department of Justice an
nounces that registration of women
