EISENBERGER IS STAR Eisenberger Is Puzzle to Motive Power Sluggers By the score of 6 to 1 the Com monwealth Travelers trounced the strong Motive Power team on the West End league grounds at Fourth and Seneca streets last evening. The crowd was one of the largest of the twilight league season, spilling over into the playing space of the teams. Eisenberger and Bamford were the opposing twirlers until the latter lost his cunning on the mound und gave way to "Buck" Ramsey in the linal minutes of the sixth inning. that distressing period the ▼•Sommonwealth team collected three runs. They previously had gathered two off the usually puzzling Bam ford. Just to show that the Motive Power twirlers were looking alike to them they snatched another run from Ramsey and put the game on ice, to the joy of a lot of rooters Avho had journeyed from various Sections of the city to see them win. Eleven Hits The Commonweath batters gather ed 11 hits oft' Bamford and Ramsey, S off the slim South Harrisburg moundsman and a quarter of a doz en oft the former Tri-State League hurler. Four of the 11 hits were three baggers, the heavy clouters being Fields. Eisenberger, Gerds and Walter Smith. McCurdy also hit one of Eisenberger's slow balls for a triple. Howe, the heavy-hitting hack-stop for the Motive Power team, rapped out a double. Motive Power scored its only run .of the game in the final inning, Weaver romping across the rubber when McCurdy hit for three bases. "Weaver got on first base with a class A single. He went to second when Minnich sacrificed, the latter going out at first when Eisenberger field ed his infield bingle to Klugh. Ram sey who followed Minnich, was hit by Eisenberger. L. Bell ran for him, and was caught at second on a quick peg to Walter Smith. Eberly end „ed the game when he hit to Boss, "who made a splendid throw to ' CKlugh. Commonwealth Scores The Commonwealth's runs were k made by Gerdes, Klugh. Walter Smith, Eisenberger and Fields, the latter of whom tallied twice for the Travelers, once in the second in ning after he had sent the old Spalding sphere far into left garden and out of the reach of Garverich and Brown. When the ball reach ed the infield Fields was resting at the third sack; not long, however, for the crafty Mr. Lightner, who came down from his Marysville home to help defeat the Motive Power, rapped out a genuine single on which he scored. Much of the credit for the victory ■ goes to Eisenberger. who pitched big league ball until the final inning, v hen he seemed to case up. He struck out seven of the Motive Power batters, the usually depend- j Are Your , Folks Away? Cj If they are you will want a good place to eat.

Dial Phone—Long Distance, 39-Z THURSDAY EVENING, • I able hitters falling victims to a puz . zling inshoot that completely baft'l led them and had them wrangling \ with both umpires. In several in stances Motive Power batsmen with i j three balls and two strikes called ; started for the tirst sack, certain jthat the ball was wide as it neared the plate had failed to curve over i the rubber. But it curved over all I rig'ht and Eisenberger smiled in | quite satisfaction over his success. Great Pitching ; He really was pitching better than ; he knew how. He did not allow a 1 single rival a base on balls and ; three of the five hits were to the | infield, and of the kind called sus | picious. Eisenberger fielded his j position well, too, having four out of i eight assists on hits that failed to i get out of the diamond. Gerdes led at the bat for both teams, having three hits out of four times at bat. Walter Smith, who was playing out of his position, committed two er rors, but they did not prove costly in the final analysis. In his eager ness to field what proved to be a long hit Gerdes probably prevented Boss from retiring a Motive Power batter at first. Boss was directly 1 in line to capture the bingle when he was disconcerted by Gerdes, who 1 could not field it, although he made the effort. He could not be charg ed with an error inasmuch as he did not touch the ball, bu* with a quick field captain on the job he would have been told to allow Boss to take it. t'nable to Score I Each team hud six men left on ! bases. Ramsey gave the Common j wealth Travelers two passes and Bamford also walked two. The Com monwealth had the better of the contest throughout the seven in nings, for their moundsman showed himself master of the situation. Ramsey, who succeeded Bamford, must be credited with four runs j against him, although it was while Bamford was in the box that the sacks were filled by Commonwealth runners. They scored while Ramsey was hurling. Likewise, the Com ! monwealth excelled in stolen bases, ! the pilferers being Lightner, Gerdes, ; Killinger (who stole twice) and ; Eisenberger. Stewart got the only ! stolen sack for Motive Power. The | game was full of interesting plays j and situations and the big crowd j enjoyed the battle thoroughly, i The score: COMMONWEALTH AB. R. H.

Blame Uncle Sam For Perry League Troubles Uncle Sam's mail came in for blame I at the Dauphin-Perry League meet i ing last evening, in the controversy i raised by the protest of Newport of ! her defeat by Duncannon at New i port, on June 28. Manager Duncan j presented a strong case and the game I was permitted to stand as played, j by a unanimous vote. The protest arose over the eligi ' bility of Pitcher Noss, of Duncannon, | who hurled throughout the game in ! question. | Newport contended that the name I had never been filed and circulated • among the several teams and this j contention was borne out by ether j representatives. On Duncannon's side of the case, a letter was pro j duced, dated June 6, in which It was j mentioned that additional names of resident players had been mailed to President Krauss three days earlier. Newport continues to hold down the second rung in the league ladder, two games behind Marysville in the first place. Millersburg is one-half a game below Newport with Dun cannon trailing one game back cf Millersburg. Umpire and discipline questions were among the other business mat ters considered.

For the first time this season "Lefty" Levan, captain and pitcher for the Reading Railways nine was given a defeat in the Alison Hill League after having gone through 11 weeks of the season without once having tasted defeat. Rosewood emerged the winner by a 7 to 0 tally. Rosewood started the bombard ment in the third inning and kept up the barrage in each of the next four innings, combining singles with a quartet of doubles. "Lefty" Chal lenger was at his best for Rosewood and fanned 10 of the Readingites. He was ably supported by Catcher Cocklin, who is rapidly coming to the front as one of the very best, A No. 1 back stops. "Dutch" Conner, who injured his right knee recently while pitching, was forced to retire from his place in left field when he again injured the member in chasing after a fly | in the fifth inning. ' Ellenberger, the Reading shOJ-t stop, showed his interest in the team when he took the field in his work ing clothes, after having come in from work on the railroad. "Tally" Davies reached into the air and picked out a ball labeled for a homer in the fifth with much of the abandon displayed by any "kid," reaching up for a luscious sample of the Burbank's plums. Rosewood played errorless ball and deserved to win. Challenger struck out the side one, two. three in the second. "Bill" Reiff, center fielder of the Galahads in years gone by, saw the game from the grandstand. "Bill" has just re turned from two years overseas. Reift was always one of the league's leading hitters, and he may try out in the game to-night against St. Mary's. Rosewood started its scoring in the third inning when Harle singled to right field and stole second. Dun kle drove him home with the first run of the game with a timely sin gle. In the fourth round Emanuel singled to left field and pilfered second bag. Thompson sent him across the rubber with a well-placed drive to center field. Four runs came across the plat- ! ter in the fifth. After Harle flied out to center, Fortna singled. "Bill" came home when Dunkle doubled, the ball getting away from Conner who injured himself at this stage of the game. Bender, Emanuel and Thompson doubled in succession, making the fourth successive two base hits, clinching the game. Lev an struck out the next man and the inning ended. Harle reached second base on Davies' error of a fly, and raced home with the final score of the game when Fortna doubled. Thi3 latter player is now belting the ball over the 400 mark, and last night had three hits in four trips to the plate. The same teams play again Friday night and Reading will be out for revenge.
