Revenge! The kind that is sweet
and lasting came last evening to the
Motive Power team. "Snowball"
Winters was rolled into the dust,
and the West End leaders humbleA,
the score at the finish being 9 to 2.
It was a West End League post
poned game anil while there was a
goodly crowd on hand, the attend
ance would have been much larger
had some effort been made to en
lighten the public regarding the ex
tra game.
Smiling "Bill" Bamford, who, ac
cording to his way of thinking was
cheated out of a game Thursday,
came back strong and he handed up
everything that was possible in puz
zling curves. West End could land
but three hits, two of which were to
the infield. There was no denying
the fact that it was all Motive Power
last evening. In fielding, timely hits
and all-around work, the M. P.'s had
far the best of the argument. Win
ters retired in favor of Strieker.
West End Scores
The only scoring by the West End
leaders was in the fourth inning.
After that and previous to this spurt
the W. E.'s had loads of trouble in
getting a man further than second
base. Palmer walked and went to
second on T. Euker's out at first.
McKeever beat out an infield hit and
stole second. Bell went out, short to
first. Knight was safe on an infield
tap, scoring Palmer and placing Mc-
Keever on third. Knight and Mc-
Keever then worked a double steal
successfully and the latter crossed
the plate with the second run. Win
ters ended the inning by fanning.
Motive Power Busy
Motive Power's first run was made
in the second inning on a single by
Eberly, sacrifice by Stewart and an
error by Palmer. ,•
Four more were added by the rail
roaders in the fourth when Brown
opened up with a single and scored
on Garverich's triple. Eberly then
grounded out third to first; Stewart
went out, pitcher to first; Stewart
went out pitcher to first and Wea
ver walked. With two on base, Hip
pensteel drove the ball into deep left
for a circuit of the bases, scoring
Garverich and Weaver ahead of him.
Bamford ended the inning by
grounding out, short to first. Hip

I.AST NIGHT'S SCORE
Galahad, 7; St. Mary's, 0.
Art Black. Belmont and Galahad
star pitcher, slipped the black spot,
to St. Mary's last night in an Allison
Hill contest, and like "Billy" Bones,
they went down and out to a 7-to-0
count. Incidentally, Black set. a rec
ord for strikeouts in a league contest
when he whiffed 15 out of a possible
21 batters. Not content with his
twirling, he stole two bases and had
three hits. After that he was Just
beginning to get warmed up.
j Galahad had two big innings in the
second and fifth when they sent run
ners over the plate in bunches. Four
runners counted in the second and
three more in the fifth. Things look
ed Black the entire game for St.
Mary's. When runners were on bases
the artful tosser put on speed and
struck out the batter. Gluntz, Rheam
and Klrby were the only players to
connect with the ball. All three bat
ters struck out in the second.
Galahad's score would have been
much lower but for several fly balls
that dropped between center and left
that should have been .easy outs.
"Hun" Rheum caught three fly balls in
.the third inning, retiring the Galahad
side. Boyles had three outs in the
fourth round for St. Mary's.
The Sostar brothers, who look more
alike than the Siamese twins, started
the game as a battery, but Joe left
the catcher's box early in the con
test because of an injured finger.
Kirby replaced him.
Scorekeeper Bowers was puzzled in
the fourth as to how to score a play
in which Cobaugh and Gluntz figured.
"Marty" drove one over the edge of
the building in left field, and Co
baugh by brilliant running captured
the pill for an out. But Umpire Neb
inger had" run over to the third base
line, to see If the ball was fair, and
was unable to see the play made by
Cobaugh. In the meantime Gluntz
reached second, and since the umpire
did not see Cobaugh make the catch,
the runner was given a two-base hit
on a spectacular catch by "Cobie."

Entries For Big Contest
Are Not Coming Promptly
Entries for the local tennis tour
nament which starts on Monday
afternoon, July 28, are not com
ing In satisfactorily. Officials of the
Harrisburg Park Tennis Association
look for strong competition but
would like to have Ideal players
send in their names at once.
A meeting of the tournament
committee will likely be held on
Monday evening, when final regula
tions to govern the tournament will
be drawn up and a final date set
for the receipt of entries.
As originally announced, the tour
nament was to '"begin next Friday,
but members of the tournament
committee last evening expressed
their Individual belief that it might
become advisable to postpone the
date until Monday, August 4.
The Reading tennis team is sched
uled to meet the Harrisburg Park
Tennis Association next Saturday,
and the matches will likely be run
off on the Reservoir Park courts.
While this would not greatly inter
fere with the start of the city tour
ney, if> is believed that the Reading
match will afford spectators more
interesting tennis than the prelimi
naries of the big tournament. In
addition to this fact, the delay in
the forwarding of entries may make
it advisable to postpone the original
opening date of the city tournament,
as has been pointed out.

One-Thousand-Mile Fly
New Castle, Pa., July *26.—"Stum
py," the one-legged homing pigeon
owned by James P. Cook, arrived home
winning 1000-mile race staged by
the members of the New Cstle Hom
ing Pigeon Club, of the American
Racing Pigeon Union. "Stumpy"
made the flight from Kansas City in
seven days two hours and 31 min
utes. The flight was made through
rainstorms, strong winds and other
adverse weather conditions.
The bird is the only pigeon In this
city that has ever made a flight of
1000 miles, and is believed by local
pigeon authorities to be the only
one-legged pigeon that has won a
100-mlle race. The bird derived Its
nan\e from the fact that following
another flight the owner found it
In his loft with one foot hanging by
a mere shred. It has taken part In
the 600-mile race and two 60-mlle
events, since that accident.

nine in both games of a
doublehcader by the scores of 3 to
0 and 9 to 7. ' Vallee has won four
teen games to date. With fifteen
strikeouts to his credit, Hinkle was
easily the leading factor In the dou
ble victory. Hinkle and Emmanuel
each had two home runs, which
counted greatly in the scoring.
Brilliant field work by George, Bell
and Smith also featured.
MIDDLETOWN IS VICTOR
The Middletown nine last even
ing defeated the Harrisburg Giants,
score 4 to 0, on the Middletown- diu
mond. Concklin, pitching for Mid

ELEVEN BOYS
ARE DROWNED
Flat Boats and Canoes Arc
Tipped Over by
Waves
Springfield, Mass., July 28.—Eleven
boys, all members of the Springfield
Boys' Club, were drowned yesterday
hfternoon in Big Pond, East Otis,
when a flat boat and several canoes
in which they were being towed,
were tipped over by high waves.
The boys, who were in camp with
42 other boys on an island, had been
on the mainland for athletic sports
- and were being taken back for din
ner. About half way across, a high
wind came up, causing a wave to
partly fill a flat boat, with water.
When the launch towing them turned
to go back to the mainland, other
waves quickly filled the boat and it
soon sank. Scfme of the boys held
on to the boat, but when one of the
youngsters lost his hold, all of the
others 011 that side.of the boat started
to rescue him. This caused the boat
to turn over and all lost their hold.
Other boys, who were following in
canoes, paddled into the struggling
mass of humanity and some of these
were capsized also, accounting for
other Leonardo Santas
iero, who was one of the four direc
tors in the launch, when he saw the
panic among the boys, jumped into
the water in an effort at rescue. He
was soon pulled down by the struggl
ing boys and drowned with the
others.
