Last night—St. Mary's. 4; Read me Fans at the Allison Hill game last light were still smacking their lips 4ver the toothsome Klein chocolates ' that were distributed the previous evening. To think of the "night be fore" put the crowd in a sweet hu mor. and once Umpire Nebinger called for the start of the contest, the crowd fettled back in their seats and saw one of the best games of the season In which St. Mary's won out over Reading Railways, by a score of 4 to 2. "Slippery Elm Bob" Hackett made bis debut for the St. Mary's crowd, and made a fine job of his evening's work. He gave but four hits during the play. "Sam" Books, veteran base man, garnered in the first special prize of one dollar offered by the Allison Hill Trust Company for each and every home run made in the league. "Uncle Bill" Hoerner opined that it was worth a dollar any time to see "Sam" circle the bases. "Jersey" Bowman electrified the crowd in the seventh when he climbed half way up to a telephone pole on Seventeenth street, and pulled a foul ball, cracked from Hackott's bat, oft the telephone wires. It was teal shocking. Coming up ol the street cars from Oterlin prior to the game. Boyles and Gluntsz planned to pull oft a stunt, it alone was worth the price of admission. It was a fast double play worked on the railroaders in which the aforenamed pair took "Sam" flboks into their confidence. Buyicg nailed a fast liner to second, chucked the ball to "Marty" who thre-.v out another runner at first base. The play was so fast it took the breath of Um pire. Nebinger who had scarce wind enough left to call "out" twice in lap id succession. Young "Marty" also scooped up Shartle's grounder in the first inning, with much abandon. Manager Pressler presented the Swartz brothers battery, and they made a good Job of It. Neither pltoh •i gave a base on balls* throughout li.e <onte?t.

Twelve hits were totaled oft Pitch er Mower by the Engineers and Fire men at W*est End grounds last eve ning and Motive Power looked foolish when she finished the game white washed. After the ripping show put up by this aggregation recently the fans were expecting something un common last evening, and the betting was all Motive Power. But Manager Rodenhaver was not asleep. Re calling to his mind that there uiill lived an ancient old guy who started to play ball when Noah first saw tbe clouds gathering he rang up that vet teran Harry Biever. who sometimes helps out Marysvllle in the Dauphin- Perry. Mr. Biever said he would be on the Job, and he was. Harry Bie ver saw that but three hits were gathered off his venerable claw, only one rolling beyond the infield. This disaster held off until the fifth when O. Waltz singled clean for the Engineers. They nailed him stealing second, but his daring urged Madden to try the steal after he got ? n Jl rßt with a little safe hit, and Madden made good. A this critical moment Harry Rote was on tho Job with a home run. sending Madden across the plate ahead of him. Wag ner went out, third to first and Hoo ver doubled. Dunbar drove the ball to deep center for a circuit of the bases scoring Hoover. The bases were filled when Ford singled. At- Swatara Takes Count From the East End Standing of the dobs r- * „ W. L.

DAUPHIN-PERRY NOTES With Newport neartng Marysvllle In first place, great Interest is he mg displayed In the fourth sched uled game between these two teams, which will be played on Saturday at Marysvllle. Managers of both teams promise to send their best line-npa in this game. Duncannon and Millershurg will hook up In the other fray at Millershurg. Kerns Is proving a find behind the hat for Newport. The youth, recently discharged from Army service after being with the United Statea forces for several years In Panama, is somewhat inexperienced hut hla work thus far marks him as a comer. Newport has a dangerous bunch of heavy artillery and the com bination la now neartng the top of the pile In club batting.

Marysvllle feels the need of an other experienced outfielder to fill the vacancy created by the injury to "Freddie" Lightner, when he slid into second base at Newport several weeks ago. Lightner is out of the game for the season and several new players may get tryouta. Harry Mutch and Robert Miller, both of whom returned home recently after serving months overseas with the American forces, have been signed and may receive early tryouts. The Marysville infield* is playing a topnotch fielding game, but the hitting of most of them has fallen below expectations. Gerdes, alone has been hitting the ball consist ently. The errors of "Chick" Rutter, Marysville's third-sacker, at New port on the Fourth, were hightly ex cusable. The third corner at New port Is a number of Inches below the remainder of the grass infield makes the position exceedingly difficult to play. Millershurg has been weakened lately by the desertion of several S t yer go t0 the Dauphin- Schuylkill League. Manager "Bud" I" ry may be expected, however, to speedily stiffen up his team. Gerdes is playing a brilliant game at short for Marysville. His field ing and hitting have both been of the highest order, and he is becom a favorlt among the Marysville fans.
