ST. LOUIS CARDINALS HERE TUESDAY AFTERNOON-TENNIS TOURNEY MOVES SLOWLY
Lefty" Heathcote Plays
With St. Louis Cardinals;
Meet Klein Team Here
Three of the fastest men in base
tall will line up with the St. Louis
Cardinals, of the National League,
'when they play the Klein Chocolate
Company team in Harrisburg next
Tuesday. They include Clifton
Heathcote, the York county marvel;
Burt Shotten and Jack Smith, who
comprise the outfield of the Mound
City club.
Main attention, as far as this lo
cality is concerned will be directed
towards Heathcote, familiarly
known as "Lefty," who is proving
to be one of the real stars with the
western aggregation. Although
playing his second season with the
Cards he is the youngest member
of the team. Heathcote went di
rectly to the outfit last season with
out having had any preliminary
minor league training.
Made Good With Stick
He made good right off the bat,
and was kept with St. Louis
throughout the entire geason al
though he did not earn a regular
berth last year. He is reputed to
be one of the real finds of the
season and has been hitting the
ball at a .300 clip all season and
covers his position In the outfield ill
sensational style.
Heathcote was sent to St. Louis,
largely through the influence of
"Pop" Kelchner, now manager of
the Reading International League
team, who had the lad under his
eye for several seasons before he
thought him ripe for big league
service. Scouts of the Philadelphia
teams of both leagues had had their
attention drawn to him on different
occasions and in one case Connie
Mack took his aggregation to York
to play a picked team there, that
he might have a look at the sensa
tional youngster. Philadelphia
teams did not think him ripe for
big league experience, and ever
since Quaker City newspapers have
been rubbing it into the manage
ment for their judgment In Ileath
cote's case. i
Heathcote was picked up by the

"Old Jimmy Hoodoo," was still
around last evening at Fourth and
Seneca street grounds. He lingered
long in the camp of the Motive Pow
er team and Commonwealth walked
away with the game, score 7 to 4.
The Travelers had an easy job.
"Buck" Ramsey had his famous arm
working nicely, but the fellows back
of him lost several good opportuni
ties to score the run. On the other
hand the Commonwealth players were
in the game from start to finish.
Their work last night was of a classy
kind, and had it been the West End
leaders the result would have been
the same, a victory for Travelers.
Last night's defeat for the M. P. boys
put a crimp in their pennant race
chances.
Score Two Runs
Commonwealth scored two runs in
the fourth inning. Gerdcs beating out
an infield hit. J. Smith walked and
both runners were advanced on Ford's
sacrifice. Fields hit a fielder's choice
to Weaver, who threw Gerdes out at
home. Bell followed with a single,
scoring J. Smith.
The Travelers added five runs in
the fifth, on three hits. Lightner
doubled. W. Smith was safe when
Weaver dropped his pop fly and Ger
des singled. Stewart, who fielded
Gerdes' hit, threw the ball to first to
catch the runner, but McCurdy drop
ped the ball. J. Smith walked, after
which Ford drove a liner to Brown
in center field. The ball hit the field
er's knee and went far into hight field
Before it could be fielded Ford had
reached third base, and W. Smith,
Gerdes and J. Smith had crossed the
plate. Ford was only given credit
for a single and Brown an error on
this play. Fields went out, short to
first. Ford scoring on this out.

To-night Reading vs. Rosewood.
Umpire Nebinger.
Last Night Galahad, 2; Read
ing, 1.
History repeated itself last night
in the Allison Hill League. Just
as "Dewey did it" away back in 1898,
so "Dewey did it" last night, only
this time it was Dewey Shartle,
| namesake of the famous Admiral,
[ who made history for Hill
fans by trimming Reading Railways
by the narrow margin of 2 to 1.
Scoring took place in just the sec
ond inning when Reading drove one '
over the plate, and then Galahad
came in and aided by two triples, ,
rushed a pair over the pan. After ,
that the plate was kept clean.
The opposing twirlers were
"Dutch" Conner and Eisenberger,
and but seven hits were made by
both of the teams in the seven in
nings. It was anybody's contest,
with Cobaugh largely responsible for
the victory on the part of the Gala
hads. This left fielder broke up a
rally in the second inning that
would have won the game for Read
ing, but for a wonderful catch in
left field. It was the final out, and
had the ball escaped "Cobie," two
more runs would have scored as>
the bases were full at the time. An
other large crowd was on hand to
see the battle, and not a person was
disappointed with the brand of ball
that was handed out by both of the
teams.
Big Game To-night
To-night will be another scorcher
with Reading opposing Rosewood.
If Reading wins to-night they will
clinch the pennant. Should the
Roses annex a victory, it will mean
that Galahads and Reading will end
the season in a tie.
"Lefty" Challenger will be on the
mound for Rosewood with Cocklin
receiving. Manager Pressler was
unable to say who would do his
twirling.
Reading scored first in its half of
the second. H. Swartz beat out an
infield hit. Conner singled, and with
Shartle's base on balls loaded the
sacks. "Kinney" Swartz drove out
a one-base hit, and Mose scored for
the only run of the game by Read
ing.
Gnlaliad Wins Game
Galahad won the contest in its
half. Reilly tripled to right field.
Eisenberger hit to Levan, Reilly
scored. Giblin tripled to center
field and Eisenberger came ' home
with the winning tally of the game.

Hungry Fans See Great Game
on H. A. C. Field; Sen

Several hundred baseball fans
went wild yesterday over a game
at H. A. C. lleld. Island Park. Klein
Chocolate Company boys, who never
quit until the game ends, nosed out
a victory over the Baltimore Dry
Dock team, score 5 to 4. It was a
great game, the kind that local fans
enjoy.
There was sensational fielding in
every inning. Four double plays
featured the game, and one-hand j
catches with long running grabs I
kept the fans on edge. Eddie Zim-1
merman's bunch looked like winners
at the start with Flaherty in the box. I
There was another twirler in thoj
game. He had little at the go off, [
but just like his teammates, came
back strong before the finish. Big
Bill Kay grabbed a long drive with
his bare hand spoiling a three bag
ger.
In the second, Irving singled and
Trout threw wildly to second when
he went down, Irving reaching third.
He scored when Elliott lined a hit
between third and short. Brennan
muffed Wahlen's grounder. Harned
hit the opposing pitcher, Flaherty,
and the bases were loaded. Elliott
scored when Bates drove a long
sacrifice fly to Hunter.
Kay lost St. Martin's fly In the
sun and it went for a double. He
went to third a moment later when
Irving's attempt to sacrifice went for
a hit, and on the first ball pitched
Irving stole second. Both runners
scored when Rufsel drove a hit
through short.
In the fourth Cranston walked and
Wrightstone hit. Brennan walked,
filling the bases. Flaherty juggled
Kauffman's offering and Cranston
scored.
AVrightstone doubled and Kay
walked in the sixth. With two down
Kauffman hit a triple between center
and left, sending both men home.
