Tonight's Game
Hick-A-Thrift vs. Galahad.
"Bobby" Clarke's home run wal- (
lop in the third inning with two lads
on base gave the Hlck-A-Thrift team j
of the Allison Hill league a victory
over the Rosewood tossers last even- ;
ing by a score of 4 to 1. His drive ,
was a feature of the contest, coming
as it did at the psycho moment.
The Cray was one of the best of
the season, chuck full of thrilling
plays. To enumerate them would'
be to mention nearly every player.
In the first inning. "Bill" Fortna
struck out three "Hickie" batters.
Hinkle stopped a hard hit ball by,
Garverich. stepped over and touched
second and doubled the runner at j
rirst. "Soups" Campbell made one
of the niftiest stops ever seen on'
the Seventeenth street diamond and
threw out the runner at first. Waltz
was also credited with a one handed
catch of a line drive. To cap the
climax came the home run wallop.
"Babe" Alcorn made his initial :
appearance with the winning ag
gregation and tossed a good game.
He kept the hits well scattered, and '
not a Rosewood player threatened
the plate until the final inning.
"Bill" Fortna fanned seven batters
and allowed only four hits. But for
the four base lick from Clarke's
bat, "Bill" would have had a great
chance to win the game. •
The Hick-A-Thrift nine scored in
the second when Clarke had a pass.
Campbell put down a neat bunt, and
when Fortna threw wild to second
"Bobby" chased home with the first
score. In the third. Minnick drove
out his second single through short
stop. "Bill" Hoerner was hit by the
pitcher. On an error Minnick took
third and Hoerner stole second.
Then came the deciding blow.
In the last inning Rosewood put
upa strong finish. Waltz singled and
stole. On an error by the catcher
he reached tha third station, "Ed
die" Harris hit one to right that sent
"Os" waltzing home with the lone
Rosewood tally. McCleaf pmch-hit'
for Fortna. and singled to right.
Harris went to third and McCleaf to
second when Reidell left the ball go
through his legs. E. Killinger was
passed and the bases were full \yth
two out. Shafer rolled to Hinkle.
ending one of the most exciting
games of the year. To-night the
Hick-A-Thrifts will endeavor to
rawl farther up the percentage
table at the expense of the Galahad
earn.

The Cheapest Sport Under the Sun
Is Kaiser Bill the Hated Hun
Sporting writers throughout this i
country, Canada, and even Mexico, ■
have been concentrating their com- ,
ment recently upon the German Em
peror who js universally judged to ,
be the "cheapest sport that ever
lived." His crime has been pretty
well advertised, but it was so flag
rant that the details should be em
phasized. Be it known, then, that
this swellhead butted into the In- j
ternational yacht racing sport in j
1905. offering a $5,000 "gold" cupli
as trophy, the same being won by
William Marshall, flying the colors
of the New York Yacht Club. Up to |
that time this international race was;
the greatest single sporting event in
the world. Thousands came from all
parts to enjoy the sight. It was pos
sible to witness a race for the small
sum of £5 cents, so that rich and
poor were patrons. It was the only
opportunity afforded many inquisi- i
tive folks to personally toy with sen-'
unine seasickness. It made,a hero
of Sir Thomas Lipton who gamely j:
kept after the championship, defeat j<
after defeat. It was always conduct- t
ed with strictest rules of fair sport. ! :
A short time ago Mr. Marshall's son :
was killed in France flying an air-j
plane and the patriotic father offer- j

brought $125,000. The subsequent;

Tankers Want Saturday
Game With City Team
Here is a chance for some lively
Harrisburg ball team to hook up on
this Saturday with the husky players
of the 329 th Battalion. Tank Corps,
stationed at Camp Colt, who have
trimmed everything there and are
now looking for more worlds to con
quer, also to raise money for the
athletic and overseas fund. Lieuten
ant Logsdon. battalion athletic di
rector, writes: "Our team would very
much like to play some fast club in
Harrisburg and show the followers
of the pastime there what the Tank
ers can do. We feel that the people
of Harrisburg are very friendly to
us. having shown us courtesies and
given us help in staging our Mem
orial Track and Field Meet, and we
should like to stage an entertaining
game there. Could the Telegraph
sporting editor arrange through his
columns a game for us in Harrisburg
next Saturday, June 29? Some fast
team that would afford a good ex
hibition and drawing card, of course,
is desirable. As for the monetary part
of it, we are not well versed. As has
been said, the team is playing for the
battalion athletic and overseas fund.
We can't now put up a purse, if that
is permissible, but perhaps the
Harrisburg team can find some
inducement to accept this meek
challenge."

chronicled the crime is now urged to
run down the outlaw and prints the
following terse description for his
apprehension:
Hohenzollern, according to the
federal otficials and the police de

man, with a wife and six unwounded
sons. The oldest son, Fred, is describ
ed by Big Tom as a young man in
his thirties, who. again, according to
the marshal, lacks just enough brains
to be half-witted. Fred Hohenzollern ,
is in business with the old man. j
Marshal McCarthy says, and is also
wanted here and in various European
capitals on charges of murder, arson,
burglary, trespassing, chicken steal

wrecking, babv killing, shooting
without a •permit, speaking the Ger-i

is his father, breaking the back-i

Would Abolish Jury
Trials During Strife,
Boston Tells Lawyers
Bedford Springs, Pa., June 26. j
| In a scathing arraignment of tbe i
j lack of uniformity of state laws, the
! tendency to slavishly follow ancient j
! errors in submitting to judicial de
j crees having old and outworn prece-:
'dents, and the construction of laws
under conditions that have entirely

■ nationally prominent attorney, of
i New York city, and honorary ora-|
j tor here last night before the Penn- !

towards orthodoxy.
. In addressing the several hundred.
| members gathered at the first ses-j
; sion of the twenty-fourth annual!
j meeting of the association and thej
j eleventh to be held at this resort, |
■ Mr. Boston declared that he might
, even be considered a heretic when
i he expressed the opinion that ♦.hel
civil jury system is antiquated and j
an unnecessary and uneconomic in-;
stitution.
"I question whether from the,
standpoint of man power and as aj
war measure," he said, "we should 1
not speedily adopt legislation to dis- 1
courage jury trials in civil case?.'
or voluntarily and as a profession do'
what we can to dispense with them
as a wasteful tax in the same spirit
1 that under the selective service law
, steps have been taken to drive men
out of relatively useless occupa
j tions.
"The Jury system is not so wise,
I so economical nor so inerrent in as
j certaining the truth, nor so free
i from prejudice or shortcomings that
and made public to-day. The mes
time of war. when man power is so
essential, should be either compelled
or allowed to submit a dispute to
thirteen men instead of one."
To Cut Off Coal Supply
Where Landlord Gouges
Gouging landlords will receive

j state fuel administration lust night
| and made public to-day. The mas
| sage is to the effect that wlere a
I landlord forces a tenant otit of his
house in order that a higher rent
; can be secured from another ten
: ant, the local fuel administration is
! to cut off the supply of coal to that
; house.
Such action on the part of the fuel
administration is thought to be the
most effective means of breaking up
the practice of some landlords of
forcing tenants out of their houses

MAYCARE HERE
FOR INMATES OF
OLD. ALMSHOUSE
Dauphin County Ready to Of
fer Aid to York During
Building Period
Tentative proposals are expected in
Harrisburg either to-day or to-mor
row by officials of the Dauphin
County Poor Board and of the Penn
sylvania State Lunatic Hospital to
care for some of the inmates of the
York county almshouse. These pro
posals are expected as a result of
the State Fire Marshal's Department
decision yesterday in refusing to re
scind its declaration that the York
county buildings were unsafe and
the order that other quarters must be
found for them at once.
The Fire Marshal's Department de
cision was issued after a hearing con
ducted by Charles D. Wolfe, chief
assistant state tire marshal; Edward
Wilson, assistant general agent of
the State Board of Public Charities,
and J. P. Quinn, of the State Depart
ment of Labor and Industry, before
whom appeared a committee repre
senting the York Manufacturers' As
sociation, York Chamber of Com
merce and other bodies of citizens
of York county. Senator Wasbers and
Representative K. S. Spangler, of
York, also attended.
The committee was informed that
the state authorities would not
change the orders and would expect
immediate compliance. The State
Lunacy Commission has also called
for removal of the insane patients
on the Kround that the facilities are
not up to the standard called for by
the state for care of Insane.
Definite proposals from the York
county board to the Dauphin county
officials asking that some of the in
mates be cared for. are not expected,
however, until after Friday when the
York Poor Directors will meet. At
this meeting, the York county of
ficials will take some definite action
with the possibility of the selection
of a new site and the distribution
of the inmates to nearby counties
for temporary care.
Provisions could be made at the
Dauphin county almshouse for the
care of thirty-ftve or forty of the
York county inmates, officials said
this morning. The matter, however,
would first have to be referred to
the county solicitor and to the State
Board of Charities before the York
countians could be given shelter In
the local Institution.
Two hundred inmates can be cared
for in the local institution, Frank
B. Knavely, of Hummelstown. presi
dent of the Dauphin County Board
of Poor Directors, said this morning.
At the present time between 1(0 and
16a inmates are lodged there.
The increased number of inmates
would not cause any serious food in
convenience. it is said. Under the
present management, the county poor
farm has been made one hundred
per cent, efficient. Gardens have been
greatly enlarged and these together
with the entire farm now present an
appearance such as Is decidedly pleas

tem has been evolved to aid in keep

ciency. The piggeries enlarged, too
are well filled and will keep the In
stitution's Inmates well supplied with
meats.
Officials at the Pennsylvania State
Lunatic Hospital this morning said
that York countv has be*n sending
practically all or Its Inmates, whose
condition warrants it to the hospi
tal. If there are any more such In
mates under the care of the York
county officials, thev could rasilv b

BIGGEST CROP

Washington. June 26.—The big

by the federal government was fln-1
ished last n'ight with the expiration ;
of the time for paying excess profits
and income assessments without!
added penalties for delinquency. |
Estimates placed the sum collected]
from these sources at $2,775,000,000, j
and exact figures probably will be
known next Monday or Tuesday. Al- I
most a half-billion came in yester-'
day from corporations and other big \
taxpayers who postponed payment as j
long as possible.
. Payments not made yesterday are j
subject to penalties of 5 per cent.,
with one per cent, a month interest.
Hundreds of small business and ,
professional men and other Individ- \
uals failed to file returns or to make j
payments, however, and against
these an intensive campaign will be
waged, starting in two or three
weeks. They will be required to make
belated reports of incomes, ahd to
pay heavy penalties to avoid prosecu

"Benny" Leonard, lightweight
champion, bested "Jack" Britton, one
of the foremost welterweights of the
country, at Shibe Park last night,
before a crowd of 8,000 spectators,
who cheered loudly at every ex

• No specious arguments are necessary in
telling you about the thrift and economy of
the Hupmobile.
Let us demonstrate what the Hupmobile
can do. We will be glad to give you a road
test.
