Like Caesar, who fought many battles and never lost one, is this team of cholocate tossers. After mopping: up the teams in this vicin ity. a trip was made last week to Philadelphia and vicinity, where thev won other victories. Like Alex ander. they are now sighing for fur ther conquests, and feel confident that they can trim the pick of the Hill league. With five years of experience to back it. this Hill organization will make a desperate effort to make a good showing against this New York State and International band of stars. Walsh. Cranston. Trout. Harned, Berger et al.. have been known as clever players for years past. Now they are adding to their laurels, and giving Elizabethtown a brand of ball that is making those staid old Lancaster county farmers shout their heads off.

Every one rather suspects that Pitcher ilellinger will be given a chance to hand out some of that Ursinue brand of ball that he has been twisting over the plate for a dozen strikeouts a game. He is a newcomer in local ranks and if he takes the mound will be sure to make a good showing. Every team in the league will be represented, and at the close of the regular games this week the team that will represent the Hill Thurs day night will take the field to de velop team work for the big battle.

Pa., June 23—After con ferences lasting nearly two months, grievances of the carpenters' union were adjusted and the men went to work to-day on a new scale of wages —7O cents an hour and eight hour day—granted by an arbitration board. The men at first held out for 80 cents.

When the session ended the score was 3 to 2 in favor of the railroaders. Throughout the entire game the in terest was keen and it was anybody's old ball game until the last man was out in the seventh inning. The opposing twirlers were Gordon Ford and Earl Waltz, the latter of whom had insisted that if a red headed youngster with a cast in his eye would move from the right hand bleachers to another spot he might be able to put the game on ice. It was his first victory out of six ef forts. It developed after the game that the sorrel-topped jinx is at home with the measles, therefore the downfall of the railmen. The train men collected 8 hits off Waltz's pitch ing, while the Commonwealth came out of the battle with a total of 10. Ford, who is no relative of Henry's, and doesn't relish being associated with flivvers, pitched good ball, al though J. Lightner and Earl Kil linger walloped his curves for healthy bingles to the outer garden and just at times, too. when hits helped the score. Madden, a lusty youth who covered first base for the Engineers and Firemen, connected with one of Waltz's shoots for a stinging two-base clout. There is nothing certain about how balls will behave after being sent their Journey out of the diamond. For example, Mr. Gerdes, the Com monwealth third sacker, hit what would not have been more than a single toward the score board. Nor man Ford set himself to get the ball on a bound, but with all the coquet tishness of a woman the pesky sphere just bounced over his head and Mr. Gerdes romped joyfully around the bases for the home plate, which he reached before the ball could be re turned. He scored the first run of the game. In the second inning Walter Smith drew a pass from his friend Ford. He waited a bit to see what J. ■-<-■ >pw*n SAXtRIBBCrRO ttiSßft TEXXX3RAPIC Lightner would do and when the tall, left handed batter swatted the ball for a double, W. Smith went to third, but was thrown out at the plate by Oscar Waltz who had gath ered in a brisk bingle from Hinkle's bat. With Lightner on third and Hinkle on second it looked as though the Commonwealth would tally their second run. Then Earl Waltz came to bat. He hit one to Rote who threw him out at first, permitting Lightner to score. Earl Killinger scored the third run for the Com monwealth in the fifth when Klugh singled and drove him over the plate. The inning looked bad for Ford, but with the same deliberation with which Henry makes his millions the young man pulled himself out of the hole. Oscar Waltz and Hoover scored the two runs for the Commonwealth's rivals. The batting honors of the session went to Gordon Ford, Earl Killinger and Lightner, the latter of whom showed up much better than in previous games. The Engi neers and Firemen had 10 men left on bases and the Commonwealth 0. Cook proved a competent umpire. Mr. Jackson, who has been officiat ing in many of the games, went to a hospital in Philadelphia yesterday for an operation, and after the sur geons are through with him he may again be seen behind the plate. "Fat" Dill caught a good game. He had a passed ball, but it was on a low shoot and was excusable, in asmuch as "Fat" doesn't bend as eas ily as do some other catchers in the twilight games. To-night the West End Motive Power teams play and It was said to day the Motive Powers would do their darndest to win the battle. If necessary they may do worse than that. In any event they say they are going to the ball field with bells on and if the West End beats them they'll know they've been playing the old game all right, all right. The score: E. AND F. AB. R. H.

Jack Demp sey, challenger for the world's heavyweight championship, will celebrate his twenty-fourth birth t27<say punches with his sparring partners in preparation for his title contest with Jess Willard here July 4 Children living in the vicinity of Dempseys quarters, with whom he is a prime favorite, planned to surprise him with a birthday cake. Willard planned to resume boxing to-day after yesterday's layoff. The champion said he was entirely satisfied with the progress he is making and thought a day of Idleness would be beneficial to his condition. Dempsey considers honors even for the jolting that Sergeant Bill Tate, a giant negro sparring partner, gave him in their work out Sunday. Dempsey knocked Tate out yesterday. In the first round Tate went along easily, seemingly content to stay on the defensive and back away from Dempsey's driving at tack. But when it came Tate's turn to face the challenger again Dempsey tore into him and in less than ten seconds had him stretched on the canvas. It was the first time in three years that Tate had been floored? Jack Malone, the St. Paul wel terweight. made his first appear ance as a sparring partner for Dempsey yesterday. OLD FRANK ERNE GETS BEATING OF HIS LIFE Venerable Frank Kmc who has been a pugilist since padded mits were invented, got the lacing of his long career last night from Young Silar, a patron of Joe Barrett, who promoted the entertainment at Quar tet Hall in the remote regions of Steelton. It was a six-round affair, and the Silar had made a mighty good impression for his aggressive ness and energy. He was on top of the old boy at tap of gong, and not in years has Steelton seen as fast and furious scrapping. In the iirst round Frankie hit the saw dust, but was up in a jiffy, with the fans howl ing for Silar to go after the veteran. It must be said for Erne that al though he was shaded considerably in the six rounds that he put up a gallant fight, being pretty thorough ly marked up at the finish. Erne had all the best of the second round; but the young fighter was entitled to the third and fourth and some refer ees would have given him the fight when Erne deliberately turned his back and started for his corner, as though to say; I'm through." Billy Hinden, third man in the ring, prac tically coaxed Erne back instead of immediately giving siltr the match. Young Wampler, of Y*ork, was thrown heavily in the opening bout by Walter Kuhnert, of Harrisburg, when the two got tangled up in fighting. Two Steelton physicians were right on the Job and "after a shrewd examination advised the lad to have an X-ray used immediately, as it looked to them that something was fractured. Paul Wagner, of York, in the sec ond fray, knocked Billy Morton, of Harrisburg cold in the first round; but Morton gamely asked for a re turn match. After the Erne-Silar go, Y'oung Gilley, who has an alias of "south ern lightweight champ" tackled Tim Droney, of Lancaster, who made him look like a broken crutch. Whoever dubbed this weak party a "cham pion" does not understand the Eng lish language. He had nothing but a smile and that wore off suddenly until in the third round his corner men tossed in the sponge and the fight was Droiiey's.

Finds Literature Dedicated to Animals Dublin, June 24.—Dr. Douglas Hyde, professor of Irish in the Na tional University of Ireland, has been delivering a series of lectures on Irish folklore at Alepandra College, Dublin, and has made any interest ing new discoveries. He said thero must have existed in the Middle Ages in Irelfind a whole cycle of lit erature dedicated to famous animals. He had recorded some surviving specimens of it and translated them for the first time. He showed that the ancient Irish were familiar with the transmigra tion of souls and that even In the last century some traces of the be lief remained. In County Roscommon a poem was written a century or a century and a half ago telling of a pig which, having eaten an Irish manuscript, spoke and told the owner how it had been a great singer aong the Turks, fought at Aughrim against the Irish and been a hackler in France. ITALY WILL SIGN, PAGE SAYS Paris, June 23.—Thomaa Nelson Tage, United States Ambassador to Italy, who arrived in Paris to-day is confident the changes in the Italian Government an dthe peace delega tion will not prevent Italy from sign ing the German treaty, and advised member of the American delegation to this effect. Mr. Page expects to leave for London on Wednesday. iJUNE 24, 1919. NO-HIT GAME ON THE HILL "Dutch" Conner, pitching for Heading Railways, twirled the first no hit, no run game of the season In the Allison Hill circuit, wh£n he blanked St. Mao's by a score of 7 to 0. It was the second successive white wash that the rail roaders have given by the identical score. The victory gives Manager Pressler's nine a tighter hold on first place. The only semblance of a hit came in the sixth when O'Connell was given a hot one to handle at third corner. It was chalked up as an error in the opinion of the scribes, and Conner was placed on the honor roll. The only other run ner to reach first base was on the single base on balls that "Dutch" issued to a St. Mary's runner. Wagner in right Held for the los ing aggregation, made several bril liant catches that won the applause of the spectators. Bo.vles was also the pivot of a fast double play that he started, completing the play to Books at first. George Swartz had his batting trigs on rapping out three nice sin gles. Reading had eight hits and all were of the single variety. Bunched hits in the second, third and fifth won the game. To-night Galahad and Rosewood will oppose each other. Much interest is centering on the Klein Chocolate game for Thursday night, when the crack Lancaster countians will come to the Hill dia mond to play the pick of this or ganization. They have a string of 12 straight victories. The best of the Hill League will oppose this crowd, and a record attendance for the city is predicted. The score: READING AB. R. H. O. A. E.
