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.

Motorcycle Records Made
by 'Butch' Lineaweaver
Officials of the Keystone Motor
cycle Club, of Harrlsburg, and a num
ber of contestants in yesterday's his
toric show at the Lebanon fair
grounds who live here got Into town
early this morning with tired bodies
but with much enthusiasm. One
Harrlsburger, Harry Nichols, was
lucky to escape death, for his front
tire flopped on him as he fell In front
of the grandstand In the fifteen-mile
race.
This big event was one continued
triumph for Bill ("Butch") Linea
weaver, of Lebanon, who broke the
track record of the Lebanon fair
grounds and split two-fifths of a sec
ond off the unofficial world's cham
pionship for a mile on a half-mile
circle dirt track before 2,500 specta
tors who gathered to see the annual
Memorial Day races staged by the
Keystone Motorcycle Club, of Harrls
burg. Lineaweaver, in addition to
playing havoc with previous records,
took S6O in prize money. The track
record of 1.03 3-5 held by "Shorty"
Matthews, of Springfield, Mass., an
Indian factory rider, was established
at last year's meet. The local man
lowered it by exactly one minute.

Bethlehem Prep Wins Great
Interscholastic Meet at
Easton
Bethlehem Prep, on March field,
Easton, yesterday, won the Lafay
ette interscholastic meet by a total
of 61% points, Harrisburg Tech
came in second with 32 points. 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.

STEEL LEAGUERS
NOTSLACKERS
Two Sides to Argument and
Federal Government Is
Not Agitated
The sports writers in the cities of
Major League ball are "riding" the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation League
hard, contending that the players
who have deserted the ranks of O. 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

not create any favorable public senti
ment if they did. 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.;

Smart Plays at Battle Which
Was Easy For the
Pressler Boys
A rattling: good game, teeming with
uncommon features, -was pulled off
yesterday afternoon, the morning:
event being postponed, between West
End and the P. & K. Division team,
winding up G-2, In favor of Manager
Pressler's active squad. The Railroad
ers never had a chance. West Knd
jumping at their throats for three tal
lies in the very first frame, and piling
up three more in the third.
For smart, big-league baseball two
stunts of yesterday would be hard to
beat. In the eighth, Giblin, of the
Railroaders, negotiated a double play,
lone hand, at a critical moment, and
in the sixth Euker. of West End,
made an instantaneous return to
home plate from a hot grounded,
nailing the runner at home. Killlng
er then shot the ball down in time to
catch the other runner trying to
stretch to third.
