STEELTON PLAYS FORE RIVER TOMORROW ON COTTAGE HILL-TECH HIGH SECOND BEST CLARK LOSES FORSTEELTON Drops Ball Thrown by Stutz, Permitting a Brace of Scores For Wilmington Wilmington, Del., May 81.—Clark's error In the eighth Inning enabled Harlan to win from Steelton in a sensational game here yesterday In the Bethlehem Steel Corporation League, by the score of 2 to 1. Five thousand fans were on hand to witness this sensational battle of pitchers between Pierce, the former Cub hurler, and Dumont, formerly of the Washington Americans. Both pitchers displayed wonderful control up until the sixth Inning, no hits having been made by either team until this period. In the sixth inning Steelton push ed a run across on a base on balls, and an infield hit. Hunter, displaying some speed by scoring from second on the infield tap. * Harlan sent two runners over the rubber in the eighth. Payne walked, Wingate singled and Lake hit sharp ly to Stutz, who fielded the ball cleanly, but Clark dropped the ball, allowing both runners to score by a wonderful burst of speed. Joe Jackson played his first game as a war worker, but was unable to accomplish anything sensational with Ihe willow, contrary to expectations, as Steelton's outfielders played deep and were able to gather in his vicious long drives.

Per kiomen, the winner of the meet last year, made 28; Blair Hall scored 24%, and the rest of the twenty-five schools were strewn all the way from here to zero. It was a dull gray aft ernoon. The track was soft from recent rains and not altogether conducive to fast time and for the most part there was none. However, O'Brien, of Lawrenceville, lowered the time i for Lafayette interscholastic in the 120 high hurdle from the 17 2-5, which McFarlan, of West Philadel phia High, did last year, to 16 2-5, and in the low hurdles McLean, of the Central High School of Wash ington, in doing the distance in 27 flat, clipped two-flfths oft the La | fayette record. The Northeast High fotir-mile re lay team, composed of Reeves. Rod enbaugh, Riecks and Gronquist, easily won this event, and showed very good team work in doing it. Reynolds, in winning the high jump for West Philadelphia High, and the scoring of Earp in both the broad and high jumps, completed the point scoring for Philadelphia school boys. The meet was. from the start, a race between Harrisburg Tech and Beth lehem Prep, with Blair Hall,through a large number of entries, constant ly dangerous of becoming a factor in the flght for first position. The meet was opened with the reading of the President's Memorial Day proclamation, prayer by the Rev. Samuel A. Martin, of the La fayette faculty, and the singing of "America," in conformity with the wishes of the President of the United States regarding the observation of Memorial Day.

B. ball for a job in the Steel league have done so for no other purpose than to escape the draft. It is quite natural that these writers would side with organized baseball, especially when it is taken into consideration that teams minus star players are certain to crimp the gate receipts. It is but natural that if all the star players were to accept berths in the Steel league the.Major would fall in the discard. While continually "pan ning" the few who have been the targets l'or their criticism, it might l>e well if they took into considera tion the veterans over draft age who have decided to cast aside Major league ball and no doubt big salaries to do their country a service by working in shipbuilding plants anil munition industries. Then again how many players within the draft age who are playing ball in the Steel Co. league, are learning a trade that will be of use to them for life, and have not entered a claim for exemption. It is no more than can be expected that the big league man agers are looking out for their in terests and their interests alone and every time a player of note leaves they realize that his going may In jure the club. Their alibi is that when the country called them for service in the ranks they made IJO protest but were perfectly satisfied to have them leave. It would be a mighty foolish manager who would argue against the action of the United States government especially in war time, and it certainly would : The True Wartime Economy Spirit Calls Upon Men to 1 Buy Only the Best Clothes I j= And for this reason more men 3 - than ever before are wearing 3 I S who have been Hub | j= "regulars" and many hundreds of 2 | new r * en(^s have been im- | VAs pressed witji HUB QUALITY have H f \| come to this store this season with | t y&rm ie confidence that here their 3 | wlkli clothing money will secures | the greatest possible value. 1 V\ 'V Smart, distinctively styled | I jpjjll 1 S2O to S4O | £ ill 1 1/4 II STYLEPLUS CLOTHES = £ J. .11 Ijijlim s2l and $25 fc I THE SAME PRICE 3 t If "tfll!C M ™ E NATION OVER - I jVI 9 IP/I il I' PALM BEACH SUITS 1 I ' IA I I ill- K summer comfort-giving =j t V i //I'll I I " clothes—as light as a feather and as =j K j I l/Ai 11 cool as the proverbial cucumber. = I /Il I ' Plain and st "P ed eff ects.

So what else had they to do but take it good na turedly. However, they now see the Steel league looming up as big as the Majors and are directing their attacks against this organization. Do they for one minute think that it took them to call attention to the fact that players are seeking a refuge in the Steel league to evade the draft when the country is repre sented strongly by agents of the de partment of justice and secret service upon whom devolves the duty of ferreting out draft evaders? While their arguments might be just in several cases, it is probable that they have gone a bit too far and the con dition will no doubt be satisfactorily adjusted, not through their medium, but through the government experts detailed to this work. Taking all in all there are always two sides to an argument and the city sports writers naturally take the side in which they may be the most beneficial. The list of players are available and the league manage ment no doubt would be only too glad to furnish these writers with the names of the star players who are over draft age and those who are within the limit and have not filed a claim for exemption. Great Crowd to See Steelton Play Fore River Another huge crowd is expected to morrow by the management of the Steelton baseball club to witness the battle between the local Steel League nine and Fore River. A number of magnates in the Steel Trust have ask ed for reserved seats in the exclusive front row, and a number of motor par ties have secured tickets. Society is as much excited over the big league invasion as the ordinary fan. Steelton's wretched luck yesterday, when Clarke lost the game by muffing a throw, sharpened the appetite of local rooters, for it Is almost certain that Eddie Plank will be seen here for the first time in this game. Pierce and Ramsey each have done well, and it is Plank's turn to waft 'em over with his magician's south paw. Fore River has many old-timers of fame, like Clyde Engle, Mammaux and Dugan. The lineup will probably be as follows: Kopf, s. s.; Dowd, 2d b.; Twqmbly, 1. m.; Jacobson, c. f.; Engle, Ist b.; Dugan, r. f.; Connelly, 3d b.; Murphy, c.; Harris, c.; Mammaux, p.; Pennington, p. 17 WEST END A.
