KING'S DAUGHTERS MEET
New Cumberland, Pa., July 15.
I Mrs. Earl Smallng of Seventh street,
will entertain the King's Daughters
Sunday school class this evening.
On the long, steady pull or a sudden rise in the road ahead, give 'er the
gas and she'll make it on high—with tried-and-true Atlantic in the tank.
For, hill-hesitation has been extracted from Atlantic Gasoline in the making.
The formula demands that.
MI ATTANTIHOI ■ Yes, Sir! A tankful of Atlantic Gasoline is a tankful of terrific power,
challenging the throttle to go the limit. When you want power, you press the
accelerator and the Atlantic delivers instantly.
An organization of refiners with fifty years' experience and a conscience
sees to it that the vaunted uniformity of Atlantic Gasoline is an actuality, never
deviated from.
Test this out for yourself. Pull up along the curb where you see the
Atlantic sign and tell the man to crank up.
Then when the steep climb looms up, give 'er the gas.

Travelers Play All Around
Engine Crew in West
End League Game
Six hits and alx error* gave the
Commonwealth Traveler* a 6 to 4
victory over the Engineer* and Fire
men at the West End ball park last
evening. With their rivals In the
lead by a narrow margin of one run
the Commonwealth players went' to
bat In tho third Inning and when
the smoke of conflict had cleared
away they had collected flvo runs,
adding another tally In the sixth, or
a total of a half dozen during the
twilight session. "Dutch" Connors
should, by all the rules of the game,
have won his duel with Herbert
Washlnger, who was on the hill for
the Commonwealth. Besides allow
ing the Engineers and Firemen six
hits he struck out six of them as
against three by Washlnger, but one
of the six hits was a home run by
Gerdes, and another a two base
clout by L. Bell, made at times when
runs were needed. On the other
hand Wagner and Oscar Waltz
smote out doubles, and Rote, the
fast third sacker, clouted for three
bags.
It was apparent that the sym
pathies of the hundreds on the
bleachers were with the defeated!
team, which has played in the hard- i
est kind of luck throughout the sea
son. The kindly feeling of the I
crowd for the Engineers and Fire- I
j men was shown repeatedly, although
the splendid playing of the winners,
who are charged with but a single
error, and that one by the usually
reliable Mr. Hinkle, drew forth ap
plause in plenty. For instance,
when Gordon Ford made a one-hand
catch of a fly ball in right field the
applause did not subside until he
raised his cap in response' to the de
mands of the fans. Wagner, like
wise, had to doff his cap after he
had caught a hard fly in left field.
The umpiring of Cook called forth
considerable adverse comment.
Gerdes hit a long fly close to the
foul line in right field. From the
scorer's box it seemed certain that
the ball hit on fair ground. So cer
tain was Gordon Ford that the ball
had gone foul that he made no spe
cial effort to catch Gerdes who was
racing for the home plate. Cook,
who has umpired In satisfactory
fashion in many games called it fair
and maintained that his decision was
correct, but the bleacherites thought
otherwise and showed their disap
proval by hooting the arbiter.
After the game members of both
teams admitted that the conduct of
the fans If persisted In would result
in lessening the crowds at the games.
They said, too, that it was a hard
matter for the people on the bleach
ers to hold their peace when their
favorites were losing. The games at
West End Park have given much
pleasure to thousands of lovers of
the pastime. "I wish for the sake
of the sport," said one of the league
officials last evening, "that crowds
would be a little more patient with
the work of the umpires chosen to
officiate at the league contests.
Umpires are only human. They do
not make mistakes Intentionally.
Besides that, they're In better posi
tion to Judge plays than the crowds
who many times—are not In posi
tion to say whether the umpire has
made an error. Let's be fair and

Knockout; Harry Grcb
Also Is Winner
Philadelphia, July 15.—Fight fan*
were kept on edge last evening In
one of the best ring exhibitions ever
seen at Shibe Park.
Lew Tendier defeated Joe Welling,
of Chicago, in six hard rounds. Tend
ier set Welling such a terrific pace
that the Chlcagolan was weak and
clinched at every opportunity in the
final round. Tendier <tld not show
his opponent any quarter In the final
frame with Welling hanging on al
most continuously. Tendier ripped
home six-inch Jolrs with his left to
the body and to the chin that had
Welling looking wistfully toward his
corner.
| Harry Greb, of Pittsburgh, with a
| "regulation" hair cut and a willing-1
; ness to fight, was handed n tough
! assignment In his bout with Buttling
I Levlnsky. Greb won, but In earning]
i the verdict he was confronted with ;
! the problem of solving Levlnsky's de
fensive tactics.
"Kid" Lrirls Draws
Ted ("Kid") Lewis, of England. |
former holder of the welterweight |
title, was lucky to earn a draw with ;
Steve Latzo, of Hazleton, In the third
contest. Lewis, who several months
I ago had the 145-pound crown wrest
ed from him by Jack Brltton. had
j visions of being deprived of another
| chance at the present champion
! when he was dropped twice in the i
initial session. The spectators, keyed j
to the highest pitch by the unexpect- j
ed termination of the Chancey-Tlp- i
lit* bout, were brought to their feet t
yelling wildly when Latao floored !
Lewis twice. The bout had barely 1
started when the Hazleton slugger 1
rushed Lewis to the Englishman's
corner. Here Lewis was the target j
for a shower of blows to body anil ]
head, and the Briton crumpled from
a left hook that caught him flush on 1
the Jaw. Lewis took a short count, j
and a few seconds late another fusil- I
lade of rights and lefts sent the j
Englishman to his knees. He again
took a short count, and gaining his ]
feet clinched and stalled until the |
bell.
Tlpllts Scores Knockout
"Joe" Tiplits duplicated the feat of '
his sparring partner. Lew Tendler. I
by knocking out George Chaney, of I
Baltimore, In the third round. It was j
a left uppercut to the point of the j
jaw that turned the trick. Chancy
received a wide swing and promptly j
sank to the canvas. He was drunk ]
from the blow and did not show signs J
of coming to life until Referee j
O'Brien had nearly reached the end I
of the count. When Chaney regained ]
his feet he was weak and tottering, j
Tiplitz rushed and buffeted the Bal
tlmorean with crashing rights and |
lefts to the head. Chaney did not |
appear to have u chance and the ref
eree wisely ended hostilities.
Harry Pierce, the veteran from
Brooklyn, whose ago is known to be
somewhere under 50, weathered six j
rounds with "Eddie" Moy, of Allen- j
town, in the opening bout, Pierce's
tactics put the crowd In good humor. \
with his bald pate glistening under 1
the rays of the arc light,, he stood j
up under a continuous shower of J
Jolts. Pierce crowded a lot of fight ,
Into the encounter. Moy had to ex- i
tend himself, as the veteran rushed !
and slugged throughout.
