Schedule For the Week
To-night—St. Mary's vs. Rosewood.
Tuesday—Galahad vs. Reading.
Wednesday—Galahad vs. Rosewood.
Thursday—Galahad vs. Reading.
Friday—Reading vs. Rosewood.
Monday—St. Mary's vs. Galahad.
Only six more contests remain in
the Allison Hill League to determine
the champions of the Hill district, and
while the standing of Rosewood and
St. Mary's cannot be changed, the
fight lies between Galahad and Read
ing for the pennant These two nines
will meet twice this week, on Tues
day and Thursday nights.
When the two leading teams clash
Tuesday and Thursday evenings, the
largest crowds of the year will be on
hand. Both aggregations have large
followings who will be there, to lend
a hand to the cheering for their fav
orites. Just one and one half games
separate the two leaders.
Three Hard Lames
Reading has three hard games,
against Rosewood and Galahad. If
Reading can win one game against
Galahad, the best the latter team can
do is tie with the railway team. This
would make a postseason series nec
essary. Last year Reading and Rose
wood were tied for the honors at the
close of the regular schedule and
played off an extra series.
"Dutch" Conner surely has earned
for himself the name of "iron man."
Friday night he twirled seven in
nings for Reading Railways against
Galahad, and Saturday afternoon lie
pitched and wone a seventeen-inning
game for Newport at Duncannon In the
Dauphin-Perry League. Duncannon
bunched three hits and a brace of
runs in the second inning. For the
next 15 innings Duncannon did not
cross of the plate.
Following the close of the Allison
Hill season, the winner will be kept
in condition for a post-series with
the winner in the West End League
for the city championship.

City Junior League Meets
Today to Discuss Future
At a meeting to-day officials of the I
City Junior League will confer on
Placing a new club to succeed St
Alary s Juniors of Steelton. Both Har
ris Park and tho Summits under *llO
management of "Mose" Swartz are
anxious to finish up tho season in the
place of St. Mary's. 13
Hygienic will move up to third
place through this change, being in
the league before Harris Park or
Summit, whichever team is chosen to
enter the circuit.
The City Junior League has been
unsuccessful this season in keeping
teams. Swatara and East End are the
only two teams playing the entire
season through. Seven other clubs
have been tried but all were unable
to stand the strain. The league of
ficials are doing their best to develop
young talent.

Saturday's Results

Marysville-Millersburg, 2 games
postponed.
In one of tho longest, best-played
and most sensational games of the
'seasoh. Newport Won out from Dun
cannon in 17 innings on Saturday on
the Duncannon field by a 6 to 2 score.
Both Connors, on tho mound for New
port and Strieker, hurling for Dun
cannon, went the full route.
The game was full of thrills
throughout. Neither team scored af
ter the sixth inning, when Newport
tallied a single run and deadlocked
the score. Several good opportunities
to score were lost, but gilt-edged
pitching and air-tight support pre
vented any further runs being pushed
across the platter until the fatal sev
enteenth. "
Nawport and runners on second and
third several times with but one man
out, but in each instance Strieker
tightened up and managed to stave
off any run getting.
Strieker Fulls on Squeeze
Failing to get the signal for the
squeeze play in the sixteenth, Striek
er himself, lost a good opportunity to
pull the game out of fire for Duncan
non. Leading off in the sixteenth
with a single, he was sacrificed to
second by Waltz and stole third. With
one out. the signal for the squeeze
play was given and De Haven laid
down a perfect bunt. Strieker had
not gotten the signal and had but a
short lead off and was an easy out
at the plate.
The outstanding features of the
games was the high class hurling of
Strieker and Connors, with the latter
having a slight edge. He managed
to keep the eight hits gathered by
Duncannon, scattered well through
out the seventeen Innings of play and
was seldom in trouble. He whiffed
15 steel town lads and Issued but one
free pass. Strieker was slightly be
hind in strike outs, having an even
13, but was inclined to be a trifle
wilder, issuing four paaaes. Seven
teen hits were collected from his de- i
livery.
Veteran Features
Several exhibitions of high class I
fielding thrilled the audience during !
the game. Old "Pi" Hunter, who :
played ball long before most of his i
teammates and opponents were born,
playing the last part of the game in '
right field, brought the crowd to its I
feet by a sensational running catch i
along the foul line in the tenth in- |
ning. Rush, Newport's third sacker,
made a sensational stop of a hard
drive over the sack on a drive by
Strieker and saved some trouble for
Connors.
Kepner did some class fielding while
Shreffler featured with his stock
work. H. Wagner and Doner each
had triples, both of which were re
sponsible for runs. 11. Wagner's came
in the first inning when he was I
West End, With Challenger
Pitching, Defeats Highspire
Challenger was the big boy Satur
day winning his game for West End
over Highspire, score 6 to 1. High

hits were all they could gather from
Challenger. AVest End hit lively.
