HUGE CROWD SEES EDDIE PLANK WIN FOR STEELTON-TECH TRIMS ACADEMY IN TENNIS
BIG CROWD SEES
STEELTON WIN
Eddie Plank Toys With En
emy Batters, Aided by
Good Fielding
A 1 Mamaux. one-time star pitcher
for Pittsburgh, had nothing but a
smile and a prayer at Saturday's big
league game In Steelton, and so
George Cocklll's swift clfcult veter
ans romped away with the first vic
tory on home grounds to the tuna of
6-1. With a three-run lead in the
fourth. Eddie Plank, hero of Gettys
burg. of the Athletics, and adapt at
southpaw slanting, was happy as a
clam in high water. His Immortal
port wing warmed up in the hot sun
and with u wide grin he kept lob
bing up the pill to the enemy vet
erans, who swung peevishly, usually
rolling an easy one to Eddie him
self or to a nearby gardener.
The event again proved that big
tent baseball will pay out In the
"provinces," for at least 2,500 fans
did the Han Juan stunt climbing Cot
tage Hill without even a murmUr.
The city and neighborhood appeaT to
be hungry for good baseball, and a
victory now and then is decidedly
appetizing.
The great crowd went away thor
oughly satisfied, for it had a good
run for its money. There was Um
pire Rudolph, with hair like a Bol
shevlki and intensity of eye. who
save all hands the full value of ad
mission coin. Mr. Rudolph was ac-
cused of favoring the home team and
was told so in many novel languages,
particularly by Mr. Mamaux, who.
however, was not entirely responsible
for his words.
fore RiveV has just as good a team
as Steelton, and, indeed, the whole
league is well balanced. But Ma
maux spilled the beans for his team
and mr.de it easy for Eddie of the
south fin. Jacobson and Hunter each
made a circus ratch, the former
holding Stutz's long drive as he
nabbed it running with the ball.
Another brilliant performer was
N'elld. at third base, who reminded
one of Arthur Devlin in his palmy
days. Hunter, the old reliable
Brooklyn outfielder, was chief with
the bludgeon for Cockill, pasting out
three clean ones. Steve Yerkes, too,
came across with a stinging double,
which sounded like the days of Bos
ton Bed Sox, and his work around
second compares to the speed he
showed five years ago.
On Wednesday the Steelton club
will play the P. & R. railroad team
and her next league contest here is
with Lebanon on June 15. The

Clarence Beck Star
at Camp Crane
CLARENCE BECK
Harrisburg is being kept on the
map in military athletic circles by
Clarence Beck, to judge by the way
he cleaned up at Allentown where
Camp Crane inaugurated its track
and field sports on Decoration Day
before a huge crowd from all over
Pennsylvania. The program called
forth one continuous burst of amused
applause for there were some un
common stunts, such as the dressing
contest, race in gas masks, horse
back and obstacle races and 220-
yard dash in Arrrfy shoes.
Clarence Beck, with the ambulance
unit, cut loose with his usual pranks
right at the start, winning the 16-
pound shot put. The next event he
entered was the 100-yard dash in
heavy marching clothes and this,
too, he won, showing what he could
do if sicked onto the Huns. As a fin
ishing stroke he shared with Corline
the honor of beating all in the 50-
yard horseback sprint, and in short,
he was the cynosure of the huge
field. Breen, of Battalion 12, came
next to him in victories.
The next word from Harrisburg's
star athlete will probably be fiom
Italy, for It was rumored to-day from
Allentown that thp ambulance unit
ss likely to receive orders'any min
ute to start. It was also announced
that Clarence Beck had been pro
moted to corporal as an opener to
higher commissions.

clouter of the Monarchs, came across
with three healthy stabs in the game
on Saturday with the Steelton

that in future the box score be made
out more carefully if "Home Run"
Baker wants to see his stunts accu
rately advertised.

Hazleton Boosts
Jimmy Mattern
JIMMY MATTERN
Fame cannot be muffled by an
alias. Witness the following com
munication to the Telegraph from
the Hazietons Boosters Association:
"Dear Sir: Enclosed please find a
! picture of James Mattern, draftee
j fro mthe third district in Harris
i burg. He has been playing ball for
j the Hazleton professional team as
i shortstop. He played sensational ball
here under the name of "Jack Calder,'
I hitting over .400 in three games. He
injured his hand while working as
chief inspector at the munitions
plant and It was only when drafted
that we learned his real name. He is
said to have been prominent in
athletics at Harrisburg Tech where
he graduated. He also played ball in
the Blue Ridge League with Fred
erick fn 1916, and the Pullman Auto
Company, of York, in 1917. Hoping
you will let us show our appreciation
by a little writeup, we remain, yours

WINTER WILL SEE
HIGHER STEAM PRICES
[Continued from First Pago.]
not nearly reach the New York and
the Wilkes-Barre 'ates.
Costs Increase
The proposed new rates are made
necessary because of the increased
cost of r'ver coal, of higher taxes, of
labor costs and of higher rates. With
the 'ncreased demand for heat, the
supply of river coal has become in
adequate to supply all needs and so
small anthracite coal is needed and
this adds to the higher costs.
While the rates per thousand feet
will be higher for Harnsburgers this
year, Manager Kaltwasser does not
anticipate proportional increases in
the consunmers' bills Ho believes
that with the increased rates, con
sumers will conserve their supply
much more.
That there may be no repetition of
last year's unfortunate shortage of
I heat, officials of the local plant are
| now endeavoring to increase the ef
ficiency of their plant. The four
stokers which were installed last
September, and which caused con
siderable trouble throughout the
winter, are being torn down and
will be entirely rebuilt during th
summer months. They are expected
to be in high grade condition when
, the plant again reopens on October
1 after the summer shutdown.
Install New Equipment
Workmen are now busy at the
local heat producing plant preparing
for the installation of new blowing
equipment that will double the blow
ing power of the local plant. Two
new double fans and two 160-horse
power turbines to dnve them are ex
pected withn a short time. Every
thing Is in readiness for their in
stallation.
Priority claims have been filed
with the government for a new boiler
with a 610-hojsepower normal rat
ing. This boiler is capable of pro
ducing 1,000-horsepower. Many of
these boilers are being comman
deered by the government for naval
purposes. The foundation is already
installed. The normal rating of the
boilers now in use is between 3,800
and 4,000-horsepower, so the instal
lation of the new boiler would do
much to Increase the efficiency of the
local plant.
Altogether, Harrisburg consumers
may expect better service this winter
than they had during the past one
with its excessive cold. With better
Bervice from all Btokeru and with the
doubling of the blowing equipment,
affairs are in a fair shape, while the
addition of the ncvNboiler would put
everything in flrst-clas* condition.
TO REGISTER ALILN WOMEN
The polfco department this morn
ing emphasized the necessity for ull
women owning allegiance to the Ger
man government, or German women

TENNIS TITLE
WON BY TECH
Big Crowd Sees Academy
Stars Defeated at Reser
voir Courts
The Tech tennis team decisively
defeated, the Academy team Saturday
at Reservoir with a score of 4 to 1.
The match was well attended and the
spectators saw some good tennis.
The first game was between John
Beck and Sam Fisher, Beck being a
Tech man and Fisher representing
the Academy. Fisher started out
strong winning the first game easily,

6-2. The second set also went to Beck
6-0. Fisher showe<T signs of tiring
near the close.

6-0, 6-4. Both put up a good exhibi
tion but the Tech man was victorious
in two sets. Captain Newlin, of the
Academy, lost to Manager Glen
Beard, of Tech, 6-0, 6-2. Newlin was
decidedly off color and played a dis
appointing match for his school.
Beard, on the other hand, put up a
clever battle and was easiiy the star
of the afternoon.
Shreiner nailed the Academy's
•orrty triumph when he defeated
Knissley in three sets. After the pair
had divided the first two sets, Knis
sley Started the last meeting with
four successives victories and Shrein
er seemed lost, but he came back
strong and triumphed finally 8-6.
This match was the most interesting
of the afternoon.
In the doubles Tech scored the
winning point when Beck and Beard
downed Newlin and Shreiner 6-3,
'6-3. Tlic remaining matches were not
played as it was growing lata and
Tech had the winning point already
tucked away.
Says Foch Is Ready
to Deal Hard Blow
•
An Atlantic Port, June 3. Officers
arriving here yesterday from the front
and who left France three weeks ago,
said there was no need for alarm at
the German advance to the Marne. as
they would never be allowed to reach
Paris. It was an attempt to widen
the Amiens salient, and the attack had
not been expected. Surprises in mov
ing troops were carried out by hiding
the troops in woodland and taking
them out at night, as the British did
before they attacked Cambira.
The French had two armies in re
serve and the British had more troops
in Fiance now .ban there ever were
before. After the big offensive start
ed on March 21 reinforcements were
rushed over at the rate of 25,000 a
day. General Foch was waiting his
time, and would deliver a smashing
blow to the Germans in a day or two,
when he considered that they had be
come sufficiently exhausted by their
d")"*e on the Marne and Amiens fronts,
the officers said.

waters, of the British Isles and France with a remarkable low
loss of life.
Submarine blockade in the principal transport lanes and about
the territory containing the principal embarkation ports for the
American Army has long been counted upon by American naval
officers as one of Germany's last cards and preparations have been
made to meet it.
Attacked by Two U-Boats.
One of the ships sunk was the Edward H. Cole, a sailing vessel. The
crew of the Edward H. Cole has been landed here. The Edward H. Cole
was an American schooner of 1,791 tons gross, owned in Boston.
Two submarines attacked the Edward H. Cole, according to the
commander of the vessel, Captain Newcomb. They appeared simul
taneously, one on each side of the vessel and signaled the captain to
heave to.
Blown Up by Bombs
The commander of one of the submarines then boarded the schoon
er in a small boat and gave the crew ten minutes to leave the ship. The
crew took to their own boats immediately and the German sailors then
planted bombs on the vessel and blew her up.
Just before the explosion occurred i
an American steamship appeared in
the offing and the other U-boat im
mediately gave chase. The last Cap
tain Newcomb saw of the steamer
she was making off at full speed.
Crews Escape Second Time
The crew of the Edward H. Cole
was subsequently picked up by an
American auxiliary naval vessel,
brought to an Atlantic port last
night and thence sent by train.
They were taken in charge by navy
officials. "
According to the survivors the
Edward H. Cole was sunk 75 miles
oft the highlands of New Jersey yes

sel carrying the Edward H. Cole's
crew was pursued by the submarine

planting of fish able to take of them
selves which we did the last year,"
declared the Commissioner. "We
planted approximately two and three
quarter million trout and streams
which had been closed were opened.
The fishermen themselves helped us
a great deal."
The trout season runs until August
1, that day included and by that
time It Is expected that some figures
will be available. A good many
brown trout have been caught. This
fish has been extensively set out.
In a few days the Commissioner of
Fisheries will have sent to wardens
a circular relative to the limit of
trout that may be taken. Mr. Buller
was in consultation with the Attor
ney General and his duties re
garding the mooted question of
whether the twenty-five trout, which
are the maximum, must all be taken
on one day. The instructions to the
wardens will go out in a few days
and Mr. Buller says he hopes to
evolve a plan that will meet the dif
ficulties.
The preliminary reports on the
bass are good. This season opens
on July 1. and it will be the first
season under the new fish code and
a new limit has been established.
The frog season starts on July 2,
and there Is a limit of 25 in a day
and 50 In a season.
