All members of Troop 15 showed up, but when they saw the stalwart huskies of Troop 11, "like babies" they got scared and immediately forfeited the game to Troop 11, 9 to 0. The historian for Troop 11 writes that this not only puts a blot on Troop 15 as an athletic organ ization, but also as a scout organ ization. Scouts when they enroll are told to fight to the very last. If the game had been played following is the probable line-up: Troop 11— R. Waller, p; Seigh man, c: Murray, lb; A. Taylor. 2b; P.

( f ) RACKET CHICAGO TAKES LEAGUE LEAD Gleason's White Sox Beat the Lowly Athletics and As sume First Place The Chicago White Sox let out a whoop yesterday on the occasion of winntng three straight and of taking the lead in the American League by trimming Connie Mack's outfit, 9 to 2. The latter will stage a game here in Harrisburg July 23 with the Klein Chocolate Company's team and all the critics may then have a chance to tell what is the matter with the Athletics and why they consistently stay in the cellar position. • There was no mystery about how Chicago won yesterday. Claude Williams, one of the two aces held in Gleason's hand, was on the slab for the Sox, and simply breezed through to get practice for the New , York team when it comes along later on. He gave the Macks eight blows, four of which were made in the final rounds, when he wasn't putting anything on the ball except his hand. Three mistakes were made by the Mackcrew and every one aided the Sox in piling up a count. They went out and banged one home in the first inning on a double by Leibold, a sacrifice by E. Collins and an out by Weaver. Then they took a command ing lead in the third, when two tallies were 'registered. Williams began the third with a walk and Leibold bunted and was safe when Naylor mussed things up. E. Collins then pushed the two run ners along with a sacrifice and one of them scored on Weaver's infield hit to Witt while the other came home on Jackson's sacrifice fly. Naylor suppressed further damage until the sixth when he began by walking Felsch. Gandll gave the hit and-run sign, then with Felsch on the go, tripled to the right field cor ner, sending Hap home. McMullin was hit by a pitched ball after which Schalk produced a sacrifice fly that let Gandil count. McMullin went to second on the throw and onto third when it got past McAvoy. The Sox then tried to squeeze McMullin home but Williams missed the ball and McMullin would have been caught off third but Thomas let McAvoy's throw get away and McMullin raced on home. Following this, Leibold singled and stole second from where he scored on E. Collins' single. Naylor left the game after that in ning and Grevell came forth to start the seventh. Joe Jackson was first up and swatted the first pitched ball for a triple to right. Felsch rolled out but Gandil produced a sacrifice fly that let Jackson romp home. In the final round. Lynn, who had re placed Schalk, led off with a double 1 and went to third after Williams' fly to right. Liebold walked and was forced at second by E. Collins, Lynn scoring. Witt's single and Thomas' three bagger after one was out in the eighth, tallied the first run for the Macks. In the ninth Burns led off with a single then went to third when the ball got through Liebold. He scored while Kopp was being thrown out on a roller to Eddie Collins.

Newport will grapple with Marys ville in the third contest between the two teams in two weeks on the Seidel Park grounds. Marysville, in a desperate effort to tie up with Marysville. A victory for Newport will mean a deadlock for first place, but Marysville will put up a desper ate fight for the game. Newport Strong Contender Gaining three victories last week, two of them over the Marysville leaders, Newport moved fitm a poor last to a strong contender for first place, and every efTort has been spent this week In getting the team into shape for the fray of to-morrow. The team has been working out faith fully four evenings this week, and is in fine fettle. The revapiped line up, used in the three games of last week, will be used to-morrow. Kerns will be behind the bat, but the hurl ing choice Is somewhat unsettled. Chances are in favor of "Buck" Gil day, former Dauphin hurler, being selected although "Lefty" Wertz may be called.
