I LOUD S ( 6AGYS HEAP HOW / THOUSANDS SEE STEELTON WIN Eddie Plank at His Best in Great Overflow Jubilee at Cottage Hill An enthusiastic crowd of over 3.000 saw Steelton beat Lebanon on Saturday at Cottage Hill by the score of 3-1. The fans, many of them very critical and hard to please, had to admit that the Steel League did Just what it promised, introduce big league basebdll into small cities. The exhibition of Saturday displayed Eddie Plank at his best, for which superb craft he bombarded the Leb anon batters with wily curves, the treacherous slow ball and now and then sent over a speeder. It was high art in pitching and the multitude of watchful rooters could relish the en tertainment. The next league show will not take place until July 4, when a real symposium will be set forth with Wilmington and its bunch of stars as the attraction in the game. Meanwhile there will be some mid week contests played on Thursdays, which are well worth seeing. To show how hungry this community is for high class baseball, it need only be said that many could not be accom modated on Saturday though the stands and bleachers have both been enlarged. In addition to Plank's clever twirl ing the Steelton leaguers of experi ence toed the mark and gossip has It that there will be a shakeup in this club to the end that the whole team be standardized. Steve Yerkes, again showed his value, scoring in the sec ond after rapping out a two-bagger. Stutz and Neill were other prom inent players in this battle. Jack Knight, the schoolboy wonder, was on the bench, but his two weeks will not be up for some days. He will be on the job for July 4. •"Bud" Weiser pulled a couple of phenomenal stunts in the field, robbing Marhefka of a long hit with a one-hand grab, but his batting was far from the record he made recently of five hits. On the Lebanon team were noticed LaLonge, formerly of the American Association and of the Toronto team. International League; "Lefty" Buck les, of the Scranton team of the New York State League; Mowery, Cincin nati Reds, and Brooklyn player; Babhington. formerly with the Head ing Tri-State team; McConnell, of the Boston Americans; Trout, of the In ternal >.il league, and Clauser. of the York Tri-State League team.

IMITO RAIHAIORfII BURNS PASSES SISLER AT BAT Athletics' Hero Leads League With Bludgeon; Merkle First in National - - That demon George Burns broke out in front of the American League hitting last week, just passing the phenomenal Sisler. Erank Baker, ; who has been picked to head the i list when the season ends, held his | own pretty well and will take some j beating. In the National League the ! old favorite Larry Doyle, with his , fifteen games is still "champeen" i though Allen, of Cincinnati, is really : ahead of him now. The clubbing of Ered Merkle is the talk of th® lea gue, for Merkle was supposed to have ! seen his best days. Time was when the whole baseball world condemned this chap for his famous blunder that lost the rag for the Giants and gave it to the Cubs. It' took him years to get over his disgrace, but he has come back with a vengeance. Among the pitchers who have an average of .700 or over, Big Jim j Vaughn has worked in thirteen games, winning ten, the best record he ever made, ani he, too is a cast off. Of course. Earl Hamilton, with six wins and no defeats beats him In percentage. The averages of men in the National, hitting over .300 are ' as follows: Ave. This Players. Clubs. G. A.B. H. S.B. Wk. Doyle. N.

Slmim, with the Amer ican Army in France, relates in a let ter to his aunt, Mrs. George A. Haws, 214 Yale sireet. his adventures in the trenches. He tells of an air battle between French and German planes. "Don't worry about me. for I am just as safe here as I would be at home," he counsels. "My home now is under the ground and where the German bullets cannot reach us. This afternoon there was a battle In the air above me. It was between the French and a German plane. chased them home faster than they came over. They stand no show with us. Once in a while they send a shell over, but it doesn't get any of us. It only makes a little hole In the ground, a hole that you could drive a four-horse team in and you couldn't see it. "Tiie shells and bullets are not to be afraid of. It is the gas they send over, but for that we have the gas masks to save us, so, you see, it is pretty hard for them to get us. The only way they can get us is when we are asleep, but that we won't do. When we go to bed we sleep with one eye open. "I am going over to visit the Ger mans one of these nights if I get a chance, and got a prisoner. You see, we send patrols out onte in a while. They go over No Man's Land to the German trenches to see what they are doing and then when they come back they bring a few back with them. There is one thing Huns hate to see or run across, and that is tße American boys. They give up right away. We got them licked, only they're too stubborn to give in."

BOITO, A NOTED COMPOSER, DEAD Italian Musician and Post Was Friend of Verdi and Hugo Milan. —Senator Arrigo Boito, 76 years old, musical composer and poet, died suddenly this week. His most noted work was the opera "Mettstofele." Born In Padua In 1842, Boito was the son of an Italian painter and a Polish weman. Although educated as a musician at the Royal Conserv atory of Music at Milan, where he made his home the greater part of his life, he early manifested a liking for literature. In his youth Boito contributed much to Italian newspapers. His literary bent also brought him to the notice of Victor Hugo, who tried in | vain to get him to establish himself, in Paris as a man of letters. Later Boito became the librettist of Verdi, and their friendship was only terminated by the latter's death. For Verdi he wrote the libretto of "Otello," "Falstaff" and other poems. He also wrote some poems and a novel, "L'Altier Meno." The greatest work of Boito was "Mefistofelc," first produced in 1868 at La Scalu, Milan, as a feature of the annual carnival. It caused such a violent controversy the police re fused to permit its repetition. In 1875, rewritten in a form more suitable to the operatic stage, "Mefis tofele" was revived at Bologna, and has been given the world over. New Jurist on Job; Hands Down Findings I Philadelphia. Justice Alexander 1 Simpson, Jr., is displaying the same I characteristic dispatch on the bench : .as he evinced at the bar. Although he has teen a member of ; the Supreme Court but little more j than a week, he handed down three : decision this week, the first of his • career as a jurist. Justice Simpson's first decision | against a suit brought by a taxpayer against the Borough of Berwick i which did not, as the law requires, [ have for its purpose the common In | terest of the community. In decid ing against the taxpaj'er he said: "A taxpayer's bill is essentially a class bill and can only be filed in the common interest of ail taxpayers of a municipality to prevent the wrong : ful expenditure of the money of a I municipality* or wasting of its assets. This bill, however, is not filed to pre . vent the expenditure of the money of the municipality, but to compel its i expenditure for the benefit of the ; plaintiff and other property owners i on the said streets Improved." Next Judge Simpson had to decide ! on the case of a man, blind In one ; eye, who had ran in front of a motor ; car to board a trolley, and had been ' knocked down. The lower court had I found the injured man negligent and ! this was affirmed by the new justice 1 in deciding in favor of the defendant. | It found in favor of damages for the plaintiff, however. In the third and ; last case, that of a man injured by a | trolley car.
