The management was urged to postpone one of the double-header games to be played on Saturday to this other date, but the Steelton management that x the August half holiday would givo an opportunity for a htunt de luxe. And so Harry Bent will figure a* a big-league manager for a day, at least. He is to handle a team made up from the whole vast Steelton plant, while W. W* Leek is to be in charge of a representative nine from the Rolling Mill Depart ment. Everybody in the city of steel is expected to turn out, with choice seats reserved for the husky men who make the Hun-killing stuff, and the finances wil all go to the Bed Cross. On this Saturday the best bargain of the season, possibly the only double-header bargain, is to be of fered with Sparrows Point, the early battle starting promptly at two o'clock. Manager Cockill said to day that Kddie Plank, past grand master of the pill, will aim the bulb in the opener, and "Lefty" Pierce, sing the swan song in the second. Cockill had a notion that Steelton will face Allen Russell, just secured by Sparrows Point from the New York Americans. As a general rule he would not be eligible for one month, but the calling of Pitcher Monroe to the draft, leaves Spar rows Point in the lurch and the rule provides that exception may be made. However, the Steelton swat ters care not who Spurrows Point elects for victinf. Russell played in the old Tri-State with Wilmington, went to New York and has been there ever since. That the Sparrows Point outflt is not lacking In its array of former big leaguers, an dmost at the height of their career at the present time, is Indicated by a glance at the line up. The entire team has practically been reconstructed. Three new men who have added wonderfully to the strength of the. HARRISBTJRG (AFIAL TELEGRAPH wer ® unt " recently members of the New lork Yankees.

July 19.—Prince Albert,' the second son of King George, was given a rousing reception by Amer ican soldiers and sailors at the Na tional Sporting Club last evening, the Prince having gone there unan rounced to witness boxing bouts be tween American fighting men. No one in the large crowd of spectators, mostly Americans, suspected the quiet, modest looking young oMcer of being the king's son. He was not known until Sir Randolf Baker or °f , we *^ l y boxing exhibitions, stepped into the ring during an in terval and announced yiat the Prince was present. The crowd rose and cheered. Then it sang l> or He's a Jolly Good Fel low, and called for a speech. The Prince responded thanking the as sembly and expressing his pleasure at being able to attend what he re ferred to as a "great and noble light. More cheers greeted the speech and then the boxing was re sumed. ULDFIEtD HIS LAST RACE Duray, Frenchman, Breaks Down and Barney Gets .SIO,OOO Prize Barney Oldfield, nestor of motor racing., had the dealre of his sound, steady heart, realized yesterday when, at the Uniontown Speedway, he made the Frenchman, Duray, re semble a chapter from "Paradise Lost." Barney had to be coaxed Into this contest and he vowed it would be the very last of his career. It was also reported that tie had a no tion some fatality would befall him. being slightly superstitious, as are ali racing drivers. Barney came within an ace of disaster yesterday, but not in the world's championship drive which carried with it a purse of SIO,OOO. Duray was forced to quit in account of tire trou ble, and the old master had things his own way, averaging 101 miles an hour. The prime feature of the day was "Louie" Chevrolet's finishing first in the Independence Derby with a Frontenac car, distance 112 miles. Before 15,000 spectators, worked up to a fierce tension, Chevrolet finish ed about one-fourth of a lap ahead Omar Taft, who made one change of tires. Twice Chevrolet was com pelled to gain a lap on a competitor. For a time Ralph Mulford and Chevrolet seesawed for the lead, the former losing several laps when his right rear tire went bad on several occasions. In the seventh lap Old field had a narrow escape from death when he blew a tire on the southeast turn while traveling a hundred miles an hour. His car swerved back and forth, but the vet eran driver managed to' steer it to the apron safely. With only one lap to go and running a good second, Eddie Hearne, driving a Dusenberg special, blew a rear tire and skidded dangerously in front of the grand stand, his car being thrown directly across the track. He ran his car into the pits just as Omar Toft flew past him in second place. Hearne changed his tire in record time and finished third. As the twelve ears swung into po sition for the start, George B. Gard ner, driving a Hudson, collided with De Lloyd Thompson and Fred Mc- Carthy, putting himself and the lat ter out of the race. Gardner's car crashed through the lower guard rail but he was uninjured. His car was a wreck. Ju st as Red Fetter man, in his Peerless, waited at the scratch for the beginning of the Aus tralian pursuit race, his car back fired and caught fire, being almost destroyed. He was thus Cut of all events. Following are the summaries of the Independence Derby: Chevrolet, first, time 1.11.22.45; Toft, second, time 1.12.37.78;Hearne, third, time 1.13.08.67; Mulford, fourth, time 1.15.16.37; Milton, fifth, time 1.19.16.66; Oldfleld, sixth, no time.
