HEAVY BETTING BEGINS TO FAVOR JACK DEMPSEY; GARVERICH STARS AT WEST END; Garverich's Three-Bagger Cleans the Bases For Motive Power—Win LEAGUE STANDING Team W. L. Pet West End 9 6 ,6l>o Motive Power 8 8 .500 Commonwealth 8 8 .500 Engineers and Firemen.. 6 9 .400 Nearly a thousand people of va ried temperaments and callings saw the Motive Power ball team take the old game away from the Common wealth Travelers on the^West End grounds isst evening. The score was 8 to 4 at the end of seven innings. The contest had its exciting aspect?; likewise its tense moments. There were three twirlars on the mound. Dewey Eisenberger pitched the en tire game for the losing club. Hart, a Carlisle moundsman, and Bamford, the tall, thin South Harrisburg slam er. were in the box for the Motive Power. Hart blew up in the fourth inning and gave way to Bamford. The Carlisle man could not get down to earth after Johnny Smith had sent a stinging base hit out of the diamond and Jerry Klugh, the lithe first sacker of the Common wealth, had mauled a fast one for a home run, sending Smith across the rubber ahead of him. Walter Smith, next up, banged out a two-bagger, whereupon. Mr. Hart lost his grip for the remainder of the session. He struck out Fields, then passed Kohl man and Eisenberger after which Howe, the stout backstop, whispered a few words to the wobbly Mr. Hart and he gave way to Bamford, who stopped the Travelers. One run was scored off Bamford's delivery before the close of the bat tle, Eisenberger hitting for four bases in the sixth after Fields and Kohlman had struck out, making the total tally for the vanquished four. George Handshaw, gang leader and rooter for the winning Motive Pow er, bit himself to see if he was awake and joined the procession of joyful rail men who made their way home through the fading light that fol lowed in tlie wake of a successful hour and forty minutes of play. The Motive Power players began scoring in the first inning. Hocker, who led off, hit a grounder to Eisen berger, who threw him out at first. Stewart bingled over third. Garve rich drew a pass, but went out at second when Wertz tried to advance him on a hot one to short. Howe, who has sent the chills up and down the back of more than one pitcher, got his eye on a swift one and sent it into right garden for three bases, scoring Stewart and Wertz. Weaver went to first on four bad ones, and stole second. Then along comes Eb erly and raps out a single, scoring Howe and Weaver, but himself going out at second. With three men on bases in the sixth Garverich rapped out a fast-going three bagger, scor ing Bamford, C. McCurdy and Stew art. Howe scored the eighth run in the seventh. After he had made a hit and stole second Weaver hit a long fly to W. Smith, who stepped over the embankment in center field and captured the ball. He scored on the throw in. It plainly was demonstrated that j no one loves sn umpire. Martin, who | worked with Cook, aroused the anger j of the fans by his rulings on balls j and strikes, Eisenberger suffering ' most.

"What kind o' em pirin' d'ye call that, you poor flsh," yelled a lusty-lunged rooter. "Git your glasses straight, you boob," "Back to the lunch counter" and kin dred sentences were hurled at the well-meaning arbiter, who plainly felt the enmity of the crowd and transgressed the more under the fir ing of his critics. Several times it seemed as though Cook would be obliged to retire to the first aid tent. At least three foul tips struck his mask so hard as to stun him. but he came up smiling after the shock had died away and officiated in good style. Hart, who had little preliminary t practice, blew up sadly. He could not reduce the speed at which he was 1 going in spite of the cautioning of Howe, who saw him working beyond his strength, and admonished him t<j slow down. The score: COMMONWEALTH AB. R. H.

Naudain Manager Hands Swatara Awful Roast; Tells Why Team Quit _To the Sporting Editor Telegraph: On Saturday, June 21st, Naudain played the Swatara ball team two games. Swatara winning the first. 4-3. The captain of Swatara said Sherer would have to pitch for them or there would be no two games. I said, why he joined us a week ago. He left the Swatara and told the captain he had left because they were always wrangling. However, we played the second game. Sherer pitched for Naudain. In the fourth inning with the game 10- 2 in Naudain's favor, Swatara put in outside boys from the Allison Hill League. In the ninth inning, a Swa tara man being called out on second by the impire immediately started a fight, using profane language. Women and young girls who had gone to see the game were highly indignant. The captain: himself told me he had 28 men to select from. Eight of# the Swatara team were | waiting to join the Naudains soon as we were organized; they were all disgusted at the team having dif ferent players in every game. We went into the league with good | intentions. A few cool heads were all that prevented a free-for-all fight on Saturday. That's why Naudain left the league. I feel perfectly justified in send ing this article In defense of the Naudain A. C. (Signed) FRANK J. STILE. Manager. The first game, 4-3, favor Swatara. Second game, 16-10, favor Naudain.

East End 16 8 .666 Swatara 13 8 .613 Liberty a 10 .307 St. Mary's 4 11 .266 Last evening's City Junior League contest between St. Mary's and East End was postponed on account of rain and will be played off later in the season. This evening St. Mary's Juniors of Stcelton will take part in their first game with Swatara. Some fast work is expected from these ooys and Swatara will have to play hard to show these boys up. The City Junior League has had a rather tempestuous career this season. Five clubs have been tried so far to fill the vacancy left by the dropping out of other teams. Leaves, West End Jrs., Algonquins, Nau dains and Peerless nines have all been in the circuit and quit on ac count of unsatisfactory reasons. All of these teams failed to make good and the only two teams which were with the organization last year, then called the Allison Hill Junior League and still with the league this year, are Swatara and East End. Swatara team was on the verge of breaking up within the last few weeks when eight players resigned and went with Naudain. but new players were signed up and now Swatara has one of the fastest teams in the city. The City Junior League lost Peer less Monday evening when they were defeated by the East End nine and gave no reasons for quitting. The Peerless boys were putting up a hard flight and gained third po sition during the time they were in the league and would have probably done better. The Liberty A. C„ which had been going the season at a good clip, will probably enter the league In the place of Peerless unless other ar rangements are made and will prob ably appear in their first game to morrow against East End. LEAGUE NOTES Swatara now has one of the fast est teams in the city since the new lineup has been made. Young, whom Swatara has signed up as a back stop, made his Initial appearance evening with three singles out of five times up. Nickey, who is holding down left field, has also made four safeties out of ten times up and has not had an error with six putouts. Kline twirled his first game for Swatara Monday evening against East End, only four hits being made off his delivery, but costly er rors by his teammates helped great ly for East End to pile up nine runs. Motter and Sharon are both put ting up a good game in center field for Swatara and are making timely hits. Matter, the star inflelder of Swa tara, is certainly doing his share in the stick work line. Matter is among the first ten leading bats men of the league. Hildebrand, of Steelton, has sign ed to twirl for Swatara the re mainder of the season. Swatara is after some fast teams for out-of-town games. Many Sat urday dates are open. All com munications should be addressed to Manager Mitchett, 154 3 Swatara street.

Rumor to-day has it that the selections will be Jack Welsh, veteran referee, of San Francisco; Bill Brown, of New York, and Ollie Pecord, official ref eree of the Toledo Boxing Com mission, under whose license the Willard-Dempsey match will be staged. Pecord is being considered in the capacity of referee, it was said, while Brown and Welsh are expected to be chosen the judges. "The referee question has been definitely decided," Rickard said. "I can state there will be two judges and a referee. Botlr men have agreed to this. I will make formal announcement of the appointment as soon as I have been notified by the Boxing Control Board." Dempsey money is flooding the fight city and as predicted in this 1 paper yesterday Dempsey is likely to be favorite. Among the arrivals at Toledo was D. G. Christie, of Chi cago, who has SIOO,OOO which he proposes to wager in the following way: SSOO to SSOO that Dempsey wins; SIOO to SSOO Willard doesn't last six rounds; SIOO to SSOO Demp sey wins with a K.

Dempsey. who knocked out Ser geant Bill Tate, his giant negro sparring partner, Sunday, all but knocked him out again yesterday. Tate boxed the first of six rounds that the challenger stepped in rota tion with the Jamaica Kid, Jock Malone and himself. He escaped damage in the first round, but when it came his turn to face Dempsey in the third, the chal lenger stepped Into a clinch and snapped over a left' hook to the chin that dropped Tate to the can ~vas. Trainer De Forest picked him up but promptly called time when Dempsey started to put him down for the second time. Wilard boxed eight rounds with his four sparring partners, but did not extend himself except In the two sessions with Walter Monohan, who was severely shaken up with right and left handers to the chin.

Princeton Golfers Win Intercollegiate Title Princeton won the team cham pionship of the intercollegiate golf association yesterday by the com fortable margin of thirty-one strokes. The Tiger quartet had a team total of 1255 strokes for their four rounds of the Merion Cricket Club's famous East course. The Orange and Black linksmen were so far in the lead at the end of the third round that it was obvious they could not be headed barring aj complete collapse by the entire j [ team. So interest shifted to the keen battle for second place between Yale and Harvard. And this turned out to be a bitter struggle, the Crim son combination landing the runner up position by a single stroke. Sid ney Scott, Jhe youthful Eli, who made such a fine showing at the Wilmington tournament last week, chucked the Blue's chance for vic tory away on the sixteenth hole. A live, the usual figure for the six teenth, would have given second place to the New Haven aggregation by one stroke. Harvard had a total of 1386 while Yale's was >1387. Penn was fourth with 1410, Columbia was fifth with 1489 while Williams was a bad sixth with 1513. Individual honors went to A. L. Walker, Jr., the Columbia captain who averaged eighty for a grand total of 320 for his four rounds. T. B. Davis, the Yale skipper, was a close second with 323 for his sev enty-two hole grind. R. Vf. Wool worth, of Princeton, was third with a total of 328. None of the others broke 330. J. S. Dean, the Princeton captain, who won the qualifying round medals at the recent Lynne wood Hall and Wilmington links' jocusts, fell by the wayside and took 337, being beaten by five strokes by Sidney Scott, who had a card of 332.

Sev enteenth and Chestnut streets, begin ning at 6.30 this evening, if weather is favoraole, between an all-star bunch of Hill players and the big league veterans who compose Man ager Breckenridge's famous Klein Chocolate Company's champions, who have conquered most everything in Pennsylvania and a few other states. Mayor Keister, who rarely misses an evening's sport at the Hill is ex pected to officially turn on the power by chucking out the pill and all sub stantial residents of that renowned section, known as the Hill, will have choice seats to witness an un common battle.

Mellinger will be the mound selec tion. There is an inside reason for stag ing this show, namely that Jack Breckenridge, a native son of Allison Hill and well known in baseball cir cuits for many a year, wants to help the league. His contribution via the Chocolate Company, will consist in putting on a noted line of ball play ers and also in furnishing a ton or so of delicious chocolate bars which is to be retailed all over the plan tation. The receipts are to be used in building more stands, for it is un derstood that this field will eventu ally be leased permanently to the Hill League. Breckenridge did not give out his battle array, but Don Werts is ex pected to do the flinging. In order to accommodate the ex pected large crowd the league has obtained permission from the City to rope off Seventeenth street and stop traffic between Mulberry and Chest nut streets from the hours of 6.15 to 8.30 o'clock.
