V/ITH THREE VICTORIES SOX EXPECT TO WIN SERIES TODAY; EBNER TO RUN TECH ELEVEN
___________
Red Sox Confident of Winning
From Cubs in Today's Game
"Yesterday's game gave us a big
edge on the series," observed Man
ager Barrow, of the Red Sox this
morning, according to a Boston dis
patch, "and I believe we will be able
to finish up things in to-day's battle.
It is my intention to work Jones In
the box with Mays in reserve."
Manager Mitchell maintained that
the Cubs have a fighting chance and
it was figured that he would let
Vaughn try again to-day or use Hen
drix.
Boston won the fourth game 3-2,
in such decisive fashion that hardly
a ten-cent bet could be made to-day
on the Cub's chances. Curiously
enough, the Cubs outbatted the Sox
by nearly 5 per cent., but their mis
plays more than made up for this
advantage. The series to-day stood
three for Boston and one for the
Cubs.
Chicago had changes galore to win
and tossed them away through in
ability to make good use of their
openings. They tied the score in the
eighth, only to present the Red Sox
with the winning run, and were un
able to hit the ball out of the infield
in the ninth, when they had two
men on bases and none out. There is
absolutely no excuse to be made for
the Cubs. They simply were unable
to deliver the punch when they had
Barrow's team set for the knockout.
Their most grievous error was one
of judgment, for which Manager
Mitchell and his board of strategy
are to blame. With two men on bases
and two out in the fourth inning,
"Lefty" Tyler tried to sneak the
third strike over on "Babe" Ruth.
He grooved one perfectly for the
burly southpaw and "Babe" busted it
far into rightfield, two runs scoring
while Max Flack was chasing the
sphere to the fence. Ruth landed on
third on his hit and would have
scored on Pick's wild relay to third
only that Bill Killefer backed up the
throw. Everett Scott was unable to
bring Ruth across, flying out to
Paskert, but the damage was done
and the best Chicago could do was
to tie the score in the eighth, only
to present the Sox with the winning
run in the same inning.
The Cub leader used every bit of
reserve power in the waning innings'
to even up the series, but while the
hitting of the Cubs was more timely
than-it had been in any of the games
so far, the batting was discounted
by fielding blunders. A passed ball
by Killerer figured in the winning
run, but it was a wild throw r on an
easy change by Phil Douglas that
sent Wally Schang speeding across
the rubber with the deciding tally.
Mitchell used almost his entire re
serve force in an effort to stave off
defeat. He called on one substitute
after another and it was his "pinch"
hitters which almost proved the up
doing of the Red Sox, but while
Claude Hendrix and Rollie Zeider
made good, Barber, the last of the
reserve squad to be called upon faled
hitting into a lightning double play
that ended the game.

and the squirrels chatter a welcome.
That enchanted bower, away from the
realm of civilization, where you can
commune with yourself, without in
terruption.
Nature's velvet carpet of grass and
the leaves of the giants of the forest
have been touched by the artistic
hand of Jack Frost, wielding and push
ing nature's brush which has been
dipped into the variegated shades.
t)ur first lesson in color blending tells
us that yellow and blue, when blendea
gives us the green. With one sweep
of nature's brush we have the green
immediately changed to the golden,
the green carpet has changed to a
corn husk yellow, the leaves upon
the trees have changed to incorporate
crimson red, brown dashes, with a
background of yellow. Leaves drop
from mid air, volplaning down on
to the undisturbed surface of the wa

TUESDAY EVENING, Harrisbcrg feflaiwSfc TKT.KGR.APH SEPTEMBER 10, 1918.
Ruth pitched mediocre ball, but
brilliant support saved him several
times until he helped Chicago to tie
the score by emitting a wild pitch
with two men on bases in the eighth.
Boston took no chances of a hit go
ing through and scoring two runs,
but played back for Flack, and the
latter's grounder to Mclnnis allowed
Chicago to score its first run. Hol
locher advanced the second runner
with a grounder to Shean and then
Mann came through with the single
which tied the count. Ruth was fast
Weakening and after Paskert had
singled and Zeider had been given his
second successive base on balls. Ruth
was chased from the pitcher's box
into left field and Joe Bush called in
from the "bull pen."
It was at this stage that "Stuffy"
Mclnnis executed one of the most
brilliant plays of the series and broke
the Cubs' back. With runners on first
and second and none out, Mclnnis
ran almost to the plate and pounced
upon Wortman's perfect bunt. It I
would have been Impossible for j
either Schang or Bush to make a
play on it, but Mclnnis seemed to
guess just where the ball was going
to land and was right on the spot to
pick it up and shoot it to Thomas
for a forced out at third. It was a
brilliant effort, studied out and per
fectly played and it robbed the Cubs
of their last chance to score.
The Chicago delegation had their
chance to cheer in the eighth. Ruth
was wobbling badly and Carl Mays
and Joe Bush were rushed Jo the
"pen" as Killefer drew a pass. Claude
Hendrix, one of the Cub pitchers
who had been warming up, batted
for Tyler and lined a clean single
to left. Flack tried to bunt and then
hit one to Mclnnis, advancing the
runners. Hendrix had run almost to
third and Mclnnis lost an easy
chance for a double play which
would have prevented \ Chicago's
scoring at all. but he overlooked the
place and Hendrix scrambled back
tc second. McCabe was sent to run
for Hendrix and on Hollocher's
grounder to Shean. Killefer scored.
Mann slammed a single to left and
McCabe dashed home with the tying
run. Paskert rolled to Thomas for
the third out.
Douglas, a spitball pitcher, faced
Boston in the eighth and Schang was
sent to bat for Agnew. Wally made
good with a single and landed on sec
ond a moment later when one of
Douglas' spitters slipped through
Ivillefer's mlt. Hooper laid down a
perfect sacrifice bunt and Schang
came in with the winning run when
Douglas threw the ball against the
rightfield foul fence. Hooper dashed
tor second and made the bag on
Flack's poor throw, but Shean and
Strunk hit flies to the outfield and
Deal tossed out Whiteman.
Ruth attempted to finish the game
but with two on bases and none out
Bush replaced him on the mound,
and the play of Mclnnis, followed
by the double play on a grounder
hit by Barber, who batted for Kil
lefer, disposed of the Cubs.

Nervy Knabe, of Cubs,
Will Take Defeat Hard
If the Chicago Cubs take the
count to-day no one will feel the
blow more keenly than Otto
Knabe, who has been acting coachi
or the team and who was an im
portant factor in the develop*
ment of the machinery. Knabe, in
his prime, was one of the trick
iest of iniielders. He possessed thei
nerve of a lion and never feared
to attempt anything on any ball
player. The individual made no
difference to him. He probably
has had more fights and argu
ments on the ball field than any
other man in the game, and that
does not bar Johnny Evers,
Charlie Herzog and Miller Hug
gins. Knabe loved to dispute; it
was part of his aggressiveness
and he could not play She game
well unless he wrangled with one
of his opponents.
He did not lose many battles
and seldom failed in any of his
tricks, except once. That time he
was outguessed by Joe Tinker,
who then managed the Cincin
nati club, in 1913, and it is an
event in Knabe's life that he will
remember as long as he lives.
And it was being outguessed in
that play that caused the mem
orable fight Tinker and Knabe
had at second base in Cincinnati,
for which both were chased from
the field and later fined by the
president of the league.
Knabe was always a quick
thinker on the field. He was do
ing things to upset the plans of
the opponents. This day Tinker
was perched on first base. A
ball was driven to right field on
a line. When it was hit, Knabfe
saw that Tinker would attempt
to make third on the play and it
was up to him to slow Joe up and
make him cover more ground. To
do this he placed himself in such
position that Tinker would have
to go around him, thereby losing
time. Tinker was on the alert and
instantly saw Knabe's bit of strat
egy and acted.
As he approached the middle
bag. Tinker, instead of running to
the outside of Knabe, shortened
his tride and turned to the in
side. Asi he reached the inflelder,
he hooked him on the jaw with
his right hand, dazing him and
sending him out of the way. Fbr
a moment Knabe did not know
what had happened, but he turn
ed in time to see Tinker slide
safely into third. His trick had
failed.
That was not the end of the
combat. Two innings later Tinker
was again settled on first and a
long fly was driven to deep right
field. Tinker, as soon as the ball
was caught, broke for second. He
made the base easily and Knabe
knew it, but nevertheless he took
the throw and to avenge himself
for the punch he received he
dived into Tinker, throwing ail his
weight into him and punching at
the same time. In a flash they
were mauling around the ground.
No damage was done and they
were separated and banished.
STAR TECH FOOTBALL TEAM TO
BECAPTAINED BY GILBERT EBNER
Gilbert Ebner, one of the best all
around athletes ever developed at
Tech, was unanimously elected cap
tain of the football team at a meet
ing held last evening after school
by the "T" men from last season's
squad.
"Eb" is one of the most popular
lads in the school. He is president
of the seinor class, has played two
previous years on the football team;
he was the star forward of the
basketball quintet until he was put'
out of the cage game last season by
an attack of diphtheria. He is also
a star track man. holding the school
record in the broad jump with a
leap of 21 feet 3 inches. In every
field of sports he has excelled, hav
ing won a "T" in track, football and
basketball. '
At last night's practice Ebner was
placed at quarterback. Last season
he played a halfback position. The
prior season he held down an end
position. He is undoubtedly one of
the best all-around athletes in the
institution.
Coach Smith held his first prac
tice last night on the island in prep
aration for the initial contest Sep
tember 2 8 with Mount Carmel. The
coach put Beck and Wilsbach at
punting with the rest of the squad
doing the catching. Limbering up
stunts were numerous with falling
on the ball, and a little tackling as
part of the program. Captain Ebner
and Hoerner were used at quarter
back,. with Wilsbach back at full,
and Lingle and Beck as the half
backs. "Hennie" Kohjman and
"Bud" Bell were at end. Frank and
Peifer played the tackle positions.
Lauster and Arnold were at guard
with Bihl at center.
Practices will now be held daily,
and prospects for a first-class team
were never better at Tech. Ebner's
selection was a popular one and un
der his leadership, Tech should
prance through its schedule in the
best of shape.

Looking in France For
'That Dutchman's Brother' 1
It was an exciting moment at By
ron Murray's electrical welding and.
blacksmith shop on the Jonestown
road near Cameron street when the
postman at last brought a letter with,
all kinds of queer foreign marks on
it, for all bands knew it must bo
from "Sam."
The departure of Samuel T. Beard,
blacksmith, now in Co. C, 316 th Ma
chine Gun Brigade, A. E. F., had an
uncommon significance and "kick'
to it, for Sam was urged to enlist
early in the fray partly because a big"
German working for Murray uttered
harsh things about America and was
always bragging about his brother
Adolph who had skinned out oc
America and was soon writing to
Harrisburg about his brave deeds
for the fatherland. Boss Murray had
set the early morning hour when ho
intended to start the American part
of tile war with the German black
smith, but the latter was too crafty
and beat it at midnight. This moved
Sam Beard to immediate action and
the last thing he yelled on leaving
Harrisburg was: "I'll get that Dutch
man's brother over there it I got to
go clean to Berlin fer him."
The letter, which was posted "In
France" first assures the boss that
his reliable helper is "still alive" and:
"I received your card through father
and was glad to know thnt somebody
thought enough of me to hang out
a service flag. I won't forget that,
boss, of you. And say, keep it flying
until I get back and then I will take
it down. If you see Joe tell him
that I am looking all the time for his
brother, but if they keep going liko
they have been for the past two
weeks 1 don't think I will ever bo
able to wing him.
"I have been doing lots and see
ing much that I can't write about. I
guess you heard about the battle
with the submarine on May 30; well,
I was right in the thick of it and
engaged in the fighting. Outside of
that I had a very pleasant trip with
no seasickness at all. Good luck to
all."
