Tonight's Game
Reading vs. Galahad.
Reading shut out Hick-A-Thrift
last evening in an Allison Hill con- i
test by a score of 5 to 9, in a I
pitchers' duel between "Don" Werts
and "Bobby" Clark. Each tosser
allowed three hits; in other respects
Werts had the better of the contest, j
Reading played errorless ball, help- j
ing in the white-wash that was
handed to the losers.
Reading tallied its first run in
the second inning when George
Levan singled. Ho stole second, and
was sacrificed to third. He scored
when Shartle tripled. Another pair
of runs came in the third. "Putty"
Lynch walked, and was given sec
ond on McCurdy's hit. Both ad-1
vanced a base on a passed ball. I
When Hinkle threw low to catch a
runner two runs crossed the plate.
Tim Euker reached first on a base
on balls, and eventually got home
station on an error. "Bill" Euker
made the final run in the fifth on
an error, stolen base and fielder's
choice. Hick-A-Thrift never threat
ened the plate as the result of the
clean handling of the ball as well as
by Werts' clever tossing. The vic
tory gives Reading a two game lead
over Rosewood their nearest rival.
Tonight Reading will tackle Gala
had, and the batteries will likely be
Levan vs. Biever. Following the
contest the officials will hold a busi
ness session at the regular place at I
which evidence will be heard in the
reading protest, and a president will
likely be chosen to succeed C. How
ard Reel, who has moved from the
city. The score:

Liverpool, July 10.—At the regular
meeting of the Liverpool borough
school board held Saturday night,
July 6, J. Park Holman was re-elect

treasurer. The term of school was
fixed at eight months, the term to
begin Monday, September 2. Plans
were laid to accommodate the pupils
which will besent from the town

schools which have been closed.
Teachers for the term are: Principal,
the Kev. Clyde W. Shaeffer; gram

date, R. L Shumaker; primary, Miss
Puera B. Robison; janitor, Mrs.
Lilly Stailey.
Rosewood colors to those of the
Hick-A-Thrift, is third with 4 73.
A glance at the list shows that
Reading stands at the head of the
league through its classy batting.
Quite a few of the railroads are
in the king-pin class. More than an
ordinary number of players in the
league have clean records to date,
when it comes to the fielding de
partment. The high average in both
the batting and fielding departments
indicate the grade of ball that Hill
residents are getting gratis from the
league. On the other hand the pa

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
BASEBALL WAR
IS NOT LIKELY
Tener May Resign but Major
Leagues Cannot Afford to
Split at This Stage
——— ■ 1 ■ —i k
JOHN K. TENER
Any one who has followed the Ins
and outs of organized baseball for
a decade will grin at the desperate
news of the American League and
National dissolving. Time and again
rumors of this have spread and cat
astrophy has threatened but we no
tice that the two leagues keep going
right along, ruled by their national
commission, for the wise men in
baseball know that scrapping does
not pay in this game. It is all a club
can do to come through the season
with profit and withtense competition
only a few cities like New York and
Chicago could thrive. Hence, we will
no doubt see the Tener incident blow
over like its forerunners.
When one appeals to baseball's
"supreme court" there is no further
to go. Common law has been dragged
in several times to settle baseball
disputes but it is never satisfactory.
Barney Dreyfuss 'brought action
against John McGraw at Boston
some years ago and it was a farce.
The point emphasized in this in
cident is that a feeling of bitterness
Still exists between the two major
leagues, and old National men never
will be amiable to the American
which is comparatively a newcomer,
and which has prospered in great
measure through Ban Johnson's bull
dozing, high-handed, determined
reign. Here is what Johnson said to
day in Chicago: "Replying to the
statement of John K. Tener, presi
dent of the National League, that he
would have no further dealings with
the National Baseball Commission in
any cases in which the American
League is a party, I fear no break
in our relations with the National
League, as 1 understood President
Tener will shortly resign.
"The contemplated resignation of
President Tener from the presidency
of the National League occasioned
me no surprise. From advices I have
received from several sources, the
course he has taken is absolutely
necessary for the welfare of base
ball in view of the fact that he de
voted so little attention to the affairs
of the game.
"Morally and technically, Manager
Mack, of the Philadelphia club, can
be justified in the position he has
taken In the Perry case.
"I presume the parent body will
find no difficulty in ably filling the
position Governor Tener has finally
determined to vacate."
According to Connie Mack, Presi
dent Tener has some cause for pro
testing at the Perry decision due to
August Herrmann. Mack says: "Ten
er bases his objection on the fact
that we have not abided by the
decision of the national commission.
The fact that the commission was
wrong and operated against the in
terests of the Athletic ball club is not
considered.
"I have always liked Governor
Tener personally, but if he quits the
national commission or resigns as
president of the National League he
has only August Herrmann, chair
man of the national commission, to
blame.
"Herrmann has botched the Perry
case from beginning to end. He
knows this. We are prepared to show
where Herrmann has made his own
rules. We are all supposed to follow
the leter and spirit of the national
agreement. Herrmann has not done
this.
"Three National League clubs had
a crack at Perry. Each one of them
gave him the cold shoulder, and he
was left to drop into obscurity. Not
until I pulled him off the seat of a
motor truck, took him south and
made a winning pitcher out of him
di dthe National League show any
interest In him. Then the National
League <began to sit up and take no
tice.
' I don't care what the National
League does; It will never get Perry.
.Half of the story about the Perry
case has never been told, and If It
ever comes to court we will produce
evidence that will make the heads
of certain persdns swim."
With the prospect of John Tener
resigning from his Important position
and a possible rift In major leagues
It Is Interesting to know precisely
what happened to bring on this cris-
AROUND THE BASES
Word has been received at Prince
ton University that Billy Moore,
Tiger football star in 1915 and 1916,
has won a Distinguished Service
Cross in France for supplying the
Marines with ammunition under ter
rific lire. Moore now is a lieutenant.
He lives in-New York City.
Secretary Daniels sent a cablegram
to Vice Admiral Sims, congratulat
ing the American Navy baseball team
for its victory over the Army tqam
at London on July 4 in a game wit
nessed by King George. The mes
sage said:
"Greetings and congratulations
to the Navy boys on their victory
in the great American game. It is
but one more proof that the Navy
can do well anything it undertakes."
Paul (Muggsy) McGraw, quarter
back on the Duquesne University
football team, is 100 per cent, pa
triot, but a slacker on teeth. The
Marine Corps turned him down on
account of the absence of two lower
jaw molars, so he had a dentist rig
him up a pair. Trying again, this
time at a Navy recruiting station, he
was almost accepted when In the
pending exercises his fake ivories
tumbled out and once more he was
rejected.
"The most remarkable pitching
feat I have ever witnessed," says
John Evers, "was performed by Dick
Rudolph. The Reds were playing in
Boston and Dick shut them out, 3
to 0. He was anxious to go home
for a day or two at that particular
time, and after blanking the Reds
said to Manager Stallings:
" 'lf I pltfch again to-morrow, and
win, will you let me go home for a
day?'
"Stallings replied that he would,
whereupon Dick faced the Cincin
natti batsmen on the following day
and beat them, 1 to 0. To pitch two
games in one day is quite a feat,
but to pitch two games in two days
is even a greater one, particularly
when both are shutouts." ,
F. M. Troeh, of Vancouver, is the
leading trapshooter of the country,
according to the Interstate Associa
tion averages for the season to June
15. The northwestern amateur has
an average of .9763, having broken
1,074 targets out of 1,100 sprung
from the traps in front of his gun.
Troeh's average is also some forty
points better than that of the leading
professional. Ed. Mitchell, of Los
Angeles, who has shattered 1,453
clays out of 1,500 sprung, for an
average of .9720.
Lack of interest in baseball, due
to the war, coupled with the re-
is. The decision of the national com
mission in the Scott Perry case was
announced in Cincinnati June 12.
Because a minor league was invol
ved two additional representatives
sat in judgment upon the case. The
personnel of the commission consist
ed of Chairman August Herrmann,
president of the Cincinnati National
League club; President Tener, of the
National League; B. B. Johnson,
president of the American League;
J. H. Farrell, secretary of the Na
tional Association, and R. H. Raugh,
president of the Southern Associa
tion.
The evidence submitted, upon
which Herrmann, Tener and Farrell
awarded th eservices of Perry to the
Boston Nationals, while Johnson and
Raugh did not concur, showed, ac
cording to the commission report:
Perry was sold to the Boston Na
tionals by the Atlanta Club, of the
Southern Association, under an op
tional agreement for $2,000. Perry
deserted the Boston cll'.b in June,
1917 after the latter organization had
paid SSOO of the purchase price.
Boston was assured its rights to the
player would be protected If Perry
ever returned to organized baseball.
Early in the present season the
pitcher returned to the Atlanta club
and was sold to the Philadelphia
Americans and is playing with that
club.
"When the decision of the National
Commission was made public Connie
Mack, manager of the Athletics, ob
tained a court injunction at Cleve
land on June 17, preventing the Bos
ton Nationals from interfering with
the activities of Perry until the case
could be argued on its merits before
the court and final decision given.

Rev. J. Bradley Murkwurd.
sultant poor uttendance, and .the
operation of the "work or fight'' or-
to-day resulted in the formal
closing of the Pacific Coast Interna
tional League.
A Cincinnati boy, novy in training
with the machine gun squad of the
light tank corps at Camp Colt, Get
tysburg, Pa., gives the best of rea
sons for continuing the national pas
time in its professional aspect. He
says: "I'm hoping that they will
not knock out baseball with thois
'work or fight' order. There is no
reason why they should. There are
plenty of boys in these camps with
out drawing on a few hundred ball
players.
"The first thing these boys turn
to when they get a paper is the sport
page, and then they'll be telling you
how many hits So-and-So got yes
terday, and who pitched for the vari
ous teams. Baseball is the one thing
back home that they can all follow."
This is an unanswerable argument
<or keeping this sport on a firm
basis during the war."
Benny Kauff, the heavy hitter of
the New York Giants,* donned the
Army khaki a few days ago at Camp
Sherman. He had to go through
the usual process of innoeulation on
his arrival. Coach Ed. Conner, the
division athletic instructor, has of
fered New York's heavy hitter a
berth on the camp's baseball team,
but he will have to wait until Benny
has spent two weeks in the deten
tion quarters before he can derive
any benefit from Kaug's proficiency
with the br.t or in the outfield.
When John (Shano) Collins, of
the White Sox was in the Connecti
cut State League, playing with
Springfield, the Waterbury team had
Harry O'Hagen on first base and Col
lins vouches for the truth of this
story on Harry. It seems that for
more than two seasons O'Hagen had
amazing success trapping runners on
first when the game was unusually
close.
If Waterbury simply had to get
that one runner, O'Hagen would
never fail. It got to be almost a
superstition among players. The
real reason came out, finally, but
not before O'Hagen had aided his
team on innumerable occasions.
He carried a hat pin, and would
insert it in his glove Then he'd sig
nal and the pitcher would throw the
ball over to him. Harry would jab
the runner with his glove. The
pin would stick him slightly and he'd
jump off the sack in surprise.

The role portrayed by Miss Theda
Bara is totally different from her pre

A. Seymour Brown, in "Pardon Me,"
at the Paxtang Park Theater this
week, is again making il •
Pnxtang hit as one of the cleverest
I'urk comedians in another
Theater pleasing musical comedy.
The show is classy all the
way through. The musical numbers
are especially good and well handled.
The comedy is clean, mirth-provoking
and original. There is nothing stale
about "Pardon Me." It is the most re
freshing hour of entertainment wa
have had in a long time.
This Is the third week the Krlvlt
Company has furnished the attraction
at the park theater, and to say that
their engagement has been a success
is putting it mildly. The plays they
have produced have been heartily re
ceived, and to see them in the clean,
healthful atmosphere of the big open
air theater at Paxtang brings the
summer theatrical entertainment to
a point where It is really enjoyable.
