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.
Reading scored both of its runs in

To-night's Game
Commonwealth vs. West End at
Fourth and Seneca streets.
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-

errors and hits were jammed to

East End to hand Swatara the de

poor support. He walked out of the

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.
The Intense beat of laat week
rendered "Dick" Neblnger unable to
umpire two of the three scheduled
contest# in which he had been ex
* pected *0 eWcieta. At M"vavUle p
ticks was walked and Biever was hit
with a pitched ball. At this point cf
the game Mower retired In favor c.f
Alcorn, who issued a pass to Waltz,
which forced in the fifth run of ihe
inning. The inning and scoring end

the afternoon of the Fourth he was
compelled to .retire adid at Duncan
non on the following day, he was
unable to go on the field at all.
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.
