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

THURSDAY EVENING,
• I able hitters falling victims to a puz

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

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. The score:
