Umpire—Dick Nebinger.
For the sixth time in the eight con
teats played to date, an Allison Hill
baseball contest was won by the nar
rowest. of margins, a single run. St.
Mary's nosed out Galahad in a pitch
er's battle, 1 to 0. It was a pitching
duel between "Lefty" Hummel and
Zerbe, recently discharged from the
Navy. Ho is a former Tech and Last
End athlete. , , ..
For six innings, neither team could
gain an advantage. In the latter Part
of this inning, Hohn doubled, went to
third' on a fielder's choice, and came
home with the victory when Captain
Sam Books cracked one on the nose
for a drive over second base.
Another large crowd was on hand
to see the battle that was either
team's until the last man was re
tired. Hits were as scarce as hen s
teeth. St. Mary's had five while Gal
ahad smashed but three. But one mis-
Play was made during the entire
fray. Books led at the bat while
Rabbit Zerance was the star afield.
The entire Galahad nine played swift
ball, and a little more punch at the
bat would have landed the contest.
It was the third game that Galahad
lost by a lone tally.
Wednesday night will be 'Dough
nut Night," officers of the league
have announced. Salvation Army
lassies will be on hand to serve the
crowd. So come early, before sup

the movement will be given a button
that will entitle them to a reserved
seat in the best part of the grand
stand. To those who support the
movement a seat is promised for the

estimated that if 100 fans will con

Strieker Pitches Swell Ball;
West End Beating Commonwealth
Ed. Strieker, one of the greatest
near-great baseball pitchers in the
country, hypnotized a couple thou
sand fans at the West End Twi
light League grounds last evening,
and also put the jinx on Common
wealth, who did well to~"Ticore three
runs to West End's six. This Striek
er phenom used to work in old
Chambersburg; he had a tryout
with Connie Mack and in 1917 he
pitched Newport to a pennant in the
Dauphin-Perry. He comes within
an ace of being a nationally famous
twirler.
He squeezed Commonwealth down
to four hits last evening, his spit
ter being in fine control. Common
wealth put up a battle all the way,
leading in the score up to the
fourth. In the fifth West End tal
lied a brace on successive hits. The
victory was decided in the seventh
with two more runs, and the huge
crowd had the best run of the sea
son.
The hitting of Fields, Evans, Le
van, McKeever and Wriglitstone
featured the game, the latter hav
ing a four-base clout to his credit.

Dr. B. F. Roller, famous wrestling
doctor, will meet Tommy Draak,
Belgian Netherlands mat champion,
to-night in a grapple to the finish
at catch-as-catch-can style of wrest
ling in the Chestnut Street Audi
torium.
Draak arrived in Harrisburg yes
terday in the pink of condition and
Roller is due here early this after
noon from New York. Both men will
weight in singside within a few
pounds of the other and the youth
and strength of Draak will counter
balance the experience and clever
ness of Roller. So the match will
be as even a one as could be de
sired. The two famous grapplers
have not met in a ring since the
New York State tournament in
1916 when they wrestled to a two
hour draw.
Since that meeting there are
those who will claim that Roller
has been side-stepping Draak, but
the doctor vigorously refutes these
claims. He asserts that he has nev
er side-stepped Draak or any other
wrestler and that he is anxious to
enter the ring with his opponent to
night. Draak has been doing them
right and left for the past several
years and has rapidly grown into
one of the foremost wrestlers of the
day. At least he is the cleverest
mat artist that the European coun
tries have ever turned over to
America.
A fifteen-minute preliminary will
bo staged prior to the star event in
which Julius Kamsky and "Ed"
Fair. Tech athletes, will meet. This
match will begin at 8.30 o'clock
sharp and the main struggle will not
get under way until 9.15. This time
has been set in order to give the
Allison Hill and West End baseball
the match after the twilight games,
league fans an opportunity to see

office at the Chestnut Street Audi
torium will open promptly at 5.30
o'clock. Ladies are invited ,to see
the card to-night as well as the
gentlemen, for wrestling is a sport
that appeals to both sexes.
In a letter to Promoter Baumann,
Draak states that he is anxious to
meet Madras, who has challenged
the winner of the match to-night.
It is possible that Baumann may
arrange that match for this city in
the very close future.
The ring to-night will be placed
in the center of the auditorium in
stead of on the stage as It was last
Saturday night This will give a bet
ter view to the spectators from all
angles of the house.

Good Roads
X
and Good Gasoline
"They shall not pass" was a noble resolve
against an unscrupulous oppressor; but it is an
expensive slogan for the nation's highways.
Acting on this belief, the Pennsylvania legis
lature recently passed a measure authorizing
the expenditure of fifty million dollars for
road-building and improvement.
\
Good roads and Atlantic Gasoline—there's a
combination that spells maximum efficiency in
truck and passenger-car operation.
For there's terrific energy in every drop of
Atlantic Gasoline. Tremendous power—more
power than you need for the hills and more than
you will care to use on the straightaways.
Use Atlantic Gasoline in your trucks and
passenger-cars. Take figures off your gasoline
bill and put them on your speedometer where
they show to better advantage.
