LAST CHANCE TO SEE BASEBALL AT STEELTON TOMORROW; ATHLETE'S TRAGIC DEATH SEASON ENDS ATSTEELTON Great Crowd Will See Eddie Plank Tomorrow Try to Re deem His Recent Defeat Bethlehem Steel League STANDING OF THE CLUBS W. L. PC. Steelton 10 6 .625 Bethlehem 9 7 .563 Wilmington 7 7 .500 Sparrows Point 7 8 .467 Lebanon 6 7 .462 Fore River 5 9 .357 Yo, Eddie! Every baseball, fan in the neighborhood will turn out to morrow to see Eddie Plank, port-side (linger extraordinary, recover his reputation in the gentle art of fling ing the horsehlde. Eddie met a Waterloo at Bethlehem last Saturday and to-morrow, by all tokens, Steelton Is due to win. For one thing, it 4s the last championship game to be played at Cottage Hill. The other five games are away from home, making Manager Cockili's task even more dif- Itcult. . Lebanon is away down in the club i standing, but she has been ripping; things up lately, chiefly by the smart twirling of Jess Buckles. But the team I is very well balanced and considerably ; stronger than when Steelton beat it in \ the early season or later at Lebanon, i That the Cockill boys will make every I effort to cop this critical battle goes without saying. To win the pennant the first year in the Steel League is going to be a great honor, for these industrial leagues have come to stay. Dropping a couple contests may mean losing the gonfalon, and Steelton will he on tip-toe. Plank has faced the Lebanon hitters and this should be an advantage. The game starts at 2:30. and the line-up will probably be as follows: Kteelton Lebanon Hunter, rf. Stowe. ss. . Knight, 3b. McConnell. lb. Beall, If. Mowery, 3b. Kauffman, lb. Clauser. rf. McCarty. 2b. Shultz. cf. Roach. S. Babbington, If Miller, cf. c. Edmondson, c. Buckles, p. Plank, p. M The game will be doubly interesting to regular fans because of the first appearance here of Cockili's two new men. Beall and McCarty. Yesterday Steelton. with "Buck Ramsev and "Tom" Phillips pitching, kept the Middletown fliers down to two hits. Both looked very good, and if necessary either could jump in at a pinch to-morrow. The score was o-0, loose pitching by the Middletown flingers being mostly responsible.

Fanning thirteen hitters is going some, thought a big crowd of Ki wanis members who witnessed the battle last evening between their team and the Suburban. May be It was their encouraging presence which urged Pitcher Hinkle to thus extend himself. Hardly less skillful, was the work of Cooper whose slants were so puzzling that the score was kept to 2-1. There was no panic, riot and "carrying-on" at this game, although much criticism fell upon Manager Belsinger, of the Suburbans, for showing up with seven players. Ki wanis very generously allowed him to use Harle, first base for West End, and Lick, second sacker for Apple by. With this due the team wasi strengthened 50 per cent, and took some beating.

Carl Beck alone beat him in totals. Davis registering thirteen and running sec ond on the Harrisburg comet. Davis, whose home is in California, was killed yesterday afternoon while en route from Atlantic City to Cam den. He was working as a bralceman on the P. and R. railroad. He plan ned to enter Pennsylvania University in the fall and was working on the railroad to earn enough money to pay his tuition. ' , It is said that Davis believed his car had a hot box and leaned out when the train was in motioji to look underneath the coach. An iron fence which is erected at places between railroad tracks caught his chest, and he was torn and spiked across the body before the train could be stop ped. He was dead when picked up. Jimmy Curran, the Mercersburg trainer, regarded Davis as an athlete of great promise. He competed for the blue and white in all of tho track meets last spring and aided in the many victories attained by Currants boys.

And while he stood, fearful, aghast— An officer, one of the staff, pointed out A quaint gure arise from the ranks Of hundrcas and thousands of cheering, brave men— Those hundreds and thousands of Yanks. In frenzy, the Hun autocrat trained his glass; Wrath, futile, tight shackled his jaw; And as the tall specter drew leisurely near. They all heard his mirthful "Haw-haw."' "Been lookin' fer you, Hohenaollern, some time, And all y'r good friends from Potsdam; And seein' as how you ask who's fighting here, Why it's me—your old Uncle Sam. "I'm one o' them.

CAMERON FARM BUILDINGS BURN Bolt of Lightning Causes De struction of Big Barn and ' Old Dwelling at Donegal Mount Joy, Pa., Aug. 9. —Fire caused by a bolt of lightning in J Wednesday evening at 8.30 o'clock destroyed the large barn, dwelling house and several outbuildings on the farm of ex-Senator J. Donald Cameron, at Donegal Springs, ten anted by J. H. Martin, causing a loss estimated at approximately $20,000, partly covered by insurance. The blaze occurred on the farm next to the one of George Endslow, where a barn was destroyed about ten days ago. With the barn and dwelling was also destroyed five calves, hay from twenty-five acres, forty-three acres of wheat straw, ten acres of oats straw, 300 bushels of seed wheat, 200 bushels of oats, the pig-sty, and several outbuildings. The corn barn and tobacco sheds, although endan gered, were saved. A gale of wind carried the sparks for nearly a half mile, and the reflection was seen more than fifteen miles away. • Members of the Martin family ! were fitting on the porch at the time. They succeeded in saving ten I ltorses and sixteen head of cows, 1 but were unable' to rescue the calves. Sparks blowing onto the dwelling house, situated across the road, a distance of about sixty feet, and di rectly in the path of the Kale, soon ignited that building.

More than 700 big poultry raisers at the all-day chicken "fete" ap plauded Senator Sproul when he said Pennsylvania with its 12,000,000 head of poultry was playing an Important role In food production and food conservation, but that It will produce three and four times as much poul try with proper legislation.

Senator Sproul urged that the poultry organizations of Pennsylva nia unite In a strong body and sys tematize poultry-raising in the state.
