While Rome burned and Nero
fiddled, the story goes, a valorous
Roman bent on doing things detected
a discordant note in the fiddler's play
ing, The unharmonious sound dis
concerted the purposeful citizen so
greatly that he thereafter failed in
what he had set out so earnestly to
accomplish, whatever it may have
been. So it happend that when
* Harry Biever, the Engineers and Fire
men hurler, determined to shoo the
jinx away from the railroaders at
I West End Park last evening it seem
ed that after Umpire Henry had call
ed what seemed to be a perfect strike
ball he lost the cunning he meant to
employ to discomfit the West End
team. It was his first slant across
plate. William Euker was at the bat.
In spite of all he could do Biever
could not get the sphere to cut the
rubber but once while Euker waited
and the shortstop drew a pass. He
was followed by Shafer. The flr.-t
ball delivered was a strike, the next
one a ball. The third one Shafer wal
loped for three bases and Euker came
home with the first tally. To make
k matters worse, Embick, third man up,
rapped out a single and Shafer tallied.
Palmer got-on first when he banged
out the third West End hit. Embick
advanced on the play. Timothy Mc-
Keever, fast felt fielder, drew the sec
ond pass of the inning, filling the
sacks. Timothy Euker followed with
a clout, sending both Embick and
Palmer home, making the total ac
cumulation of runs four. Bell, Knight
and Strieker went out in order, leav
ing McKeever on base. It was a bad
start for Biever, but he recovered his
nerve and the West Enders were able
to collect but one run after that, Bell
scoring on Strieker's three base hit.
Strieker was caught between third
y and the home plate. That ended the
run-getting for the victors.
The Engineers and Firemen made
their two runs in their half of the
• fourth inning. Madden started off
t with a single. He was resting quiet
ly near first base awaiting develop
ments when Wagner, who was cover
ing left garden, swung on an easy
one Strieker handed over and mauled
it far into right field. Before the ball
was returned to the infield both Mad
den and Wagner had crossed the rub
ber.
Strieker pitched good ball. He
struck out seven men and passed but
three, while Biever gave four passes
and struck out three. While the En
gineers and Firemen had six hits off
Strieker they were not bunched and
' in spite of the topnotch base steal
ing of Rote and the splendid rally
of the Engineer and Firemen they
could get no more than the two runs
scored in the fourth inning. Five of
their batters were left in the paths.
The crowd was one of the largest
of the season and it was hilariously
enthusiastic. There was only one
fault to be found with its conduct
through the seven innings played. It
had the bad manners to hoot and
jeer at the work of the umpire. It
may be true that Henry transgressed
at times, but the odds are that he
umpired a splendid game. He had
several difficult decisions to give and
there were those in the crowd who
admired his pluck in sticking up for
what he believed to be right. The.
sooner the officials of the West End
League determine that their players
shall cease abusing and wrangling
with the arbiter the better it will be
for the game at West End Park.
While the public is a fickle aggrega
tion, according to one Phineas T.
Barnum, there are sensible citizens

who quickly become disgusted at the
conduct of the players who persist
in wrangling with the umpire. The
sensible batter, unless the decision
be so glaringly wrong as to merit
criticism, bows to the good Judgment
of the umpire and it spoils the temper
of the umpire, the good humor of the
crowd and the glamor of the game to
try to win ball contests except upon
merit. Rivalry becomes keen and
players keyed to a high pitch of in
terest, but to abuse the umpire is as
foolish as it is uncalled for. More
ball players have lost their popularity
and prestige through crabbing than
for any other cause. The records of
the game in big leagues prove the
truthfulness of this assertion.

To-night—Rosewood vs. Reading.
Last night—Galahad, 9; St. Mary's
4.
Galahad tramped all over St.
Mary's last night in an Allison Hill
game winning hands down by a
score of 9 to 4. The "Knights" got
the jump on their opponents in the
very first inning, and kept the lead
until the end of the contest.
Reilly and Foland won a dollar
each, offered by the Allison Hill
Trust Company, by driving out home
runs. But of the four sockers went
to right field. In each instance run
ners were on base, and these two
drives counted for four of the nine
runs.
"Red" Foland had on his batting
clothes, driving out two other hits
in addition to the homerun. Boyles
was the real clean-up man for St.
Mary's. He had three hits, two of
which were doubles. His first hit. a
single, sent two runners over the
rubber. Campbell was also there
with the willow, clubbing out two
timely bingles.
"Marty" Gluntz Wild
"Marty" Gluntz mounted the peak
for St. Mary's and while he had
seven strikeouts, hq was wild, giv
ing five passes to first. "Dick"
Clark was wild on the bases, pilfer
ing second station three different
times.
Galahad tallied In the first when
Colkaugh hit to third base, and when
Zerance threw wild! the batter went
to second. Starry's fielder's choice
placed him on third, and the first
run was scored when Clark singled.
A second run came in the next
inning when Givlin scored on Fo
land's hit. St. Mary's gave the con
test away in the third with two
men out. With Hawley on third and
Fetrow on second both Lutz and
Givlin whiffed. Foland's single to
right brought in two runners. Reil
ly. then knocked out his four-base
fly, bringing the count to four for
the inning. Foland's three hits
were responsible for five of the Gal
ahad's nine runs. It was timely
stick work on "Red's" part.
St. Mary's scored a pair of runs
on two different occasions. In the
third inning with the bases loaded,
Boyles doubled to left and two scor
ed. In tl\e fifth Campbell sent Gluntz
over the platter with a solid drive,
and Campbell tallied on Shaeffer's
whack.
To-night Rosewood and Reading
play ■ a postponed contest. Wednes
day night Rosewood waxed Reading
7 to 0 with Captain Levan pitching,
and the railroaders will be out for
revenge to win the game. Rosewood
will try to annex another victory for

in the lead of "Dutch" Conner, his
nearest opponent.
One main reason for Reading's stand
at the top of the league is the heavy
hitting of the team. Levan, Conner
and Ellenberger are all Reading stars.

Kelchner had a chance last week

local bosses do not want to load the
team with other clubs' property, as
they are looking ahead for next

YOUR car will have a bigger trade-in

of a motor-vehicle is gauged by the life
of its engine.
Perhaps Atlantic Polarine is the very
oil you should use. Perhaps Atlantic
