It yequired thirteen chapters an • the scenes were enacted at Fourth and Seneca streets grounds. The title of the story is "The Passing of the Jinx." Baseball fans who witnessed last evening's West End League gan.e know this interesting story. The Motive Power boys have been in hard luck, but they chased the jinx and bumped the tailenders. This game went seven and one-half in nings, but it is still being played by the rooters who back the victors in this groat struggle. Played Off a Tic It must be handed to the Motive Power boys. They played with loads of ginger, snapping off every play j in a manner that made victory cer- i tain. Both teams put up a great ; tight. Headwork won. Wertz, who i twirled for the Motive Power, out- j pointed his opponent, Biever. It re- I quired just sixty-five minutes to j play this game. The contest was a playoff to decide the 1 to 1 eight inning tie of a week ago. Every boy who had a chance in this game won distinction. It was a battle bo tween stars. The Engineers and Firemen were the first to get a man across home plate. It happened in the fourth •nning. Madden started with a sin gle. Rote sacrificed and Wagner singled, scoring Madden. There were other doings but Werts held j the men on bases. Tie l"p the Score Motive Power tied up the s_ore j on a double by Brown. Garvei ich I hit to short and was out at first, j Brown going to third, scoring on a wild pilch by Biever. The winning run in the fifth came after Stewart had fanned, Weaver was passed, reaching second on a single by Eberly. Etter was an easy out. sec ond to first, and McCurdv walked, billing the bases. Eberly had Biever's nerve by play ing off second. Biever sent the ball j to Waltz, who dropped the bail. It was a good toss. Eberly was jafe on the bag.

Pet. Reading 19 8 .704 Galahad 16 9 .640 Rosewood 11 15 .423 St. Mary's 6 20 .231 Last night's score —Reading, 4; Rosewood, 1. Reading Railways, managed by Charles F. Pressler. won last night's game from Rosewood by a 4 to 1 score, and carried away the fifth Allison Hill Baseball pennant. It was the third time that the rail roaders did the trick. Last night's game was bitterly fought. Reading secured Harry Menear, the Royalton youth, who has been the season's sensational to twirl the winners to a victory. While he was hit harder than his opponent, he kept the hits well scattered. Challenger was given ragged support in spots and errors, rather than hits, defeated him. He had two hits to his credit off Menear. The pennant winners got away to a strong start by capttiring the first eight games without a loss. It looked like a runaway for the rail roaders until Galahad got busy and gradually cut down the lead until the result of the pennant hinged on last evening's game. While Gala had had two games for next week, one each with Roswood and St. Mary's, it was practically agreed that for Rosewood to win last night meant that Galahad would tie for the pennant. Win in Second Inning Reading won the game in the sec ond inning when they scored two runs on nary a hit. Errors proved Rosewood's downfall. The losers made six hits to the winners' four. Rosewood was charged with four bad misplays at critical times. Re ran was tirst up in the second in ning and was hit by the pitcher. Tim Euker sacrificed. George Swartz hit to Challenger for what should have been an easy out, but the toss to first went wild and Re van raced home. H. Swartz was given a base on balls, and when Bowman hit to the pitcher the first baseman dropped the ball and G. Swartz scored. Bowman was caught napping off first base. Two runs were scored without the semblance of a hit. Reading added another in the third when Bill Euker led off with a triple to centerfield. Emanuel muffer C. Swartz's grounder and Euker tallied. It was another dis astrous misplay. An error also fig ured in the scoring in the last in ning. W. Euker was given a base on balls. He stole second, and took third on C. Swartz's fielder's choice. Ellenberger grounded to Bell, and when Bender dropped the throw, Euker scored for a second time. Four runs, and each attributed to an erron Rosewood got its only run in the fourth when Geary led off with a slashing two-bagger. Challenger singled to left and Geary scored on a slide to home. Levan made a nice return of the ball. While Rosewood's misplays were costly, Reading was primed to win the game, and deserves the pen nant. Any Hill fan, loyal to the league, believes that last night's contest, is the first step for Reading. Reading has a great team, and will make them all hustle to defeat them. While the players are re sponsible for the pennant, too much credit cannot be given Manager Pressler, whose untiring energy kept the team on the jump at all times. Two more games remained for Galahad for next week, but as the ! club standing would not be affected, the games have been cancelled, and j the season closed.

FIELD TUESDAY FOOD PROFITEERS MAY BE INDICTED Members Will Be Called Upon Also to Act on Cases of Ac cused Liquor Dealers Philadelphia, Aug. 9.—The an nounced crusade against food goug ers by the government simultane ous with the drawing of the Grand Jury for the September term of the United States Court will more than likely result in that body being called upon to indict accused hoard ers and profiteers. It was said in the United States District Attorney's of fice that the selection of the jury at the same time a Federal investiga tion is being instituted was a co incidence. It was admitted, how ever, that the duties of the incom ing Grand Jury will be more im portant than those of any similar body in recent years. One phase of their activities will be the hearing of cases resulting from roundups of liquor law viola tors. Ernest Harvey, acting United States District Attorney, in the ab sence of District Attorney Kane, who is on his vacation, said that as the food investigation only started Thursday he had not obtained any evidence as yet upon which to pros ecute food profiteers. He further stated that agents of the Depart ment of Justice are at present busily engaged in investigating complaints of violations of the government food control bill. If this information should develop into evidence of profiteering and food hoarding. Mi. Harvey said he most certainly would present it to the Grand Jury and ask for indictments of the ac cused. ' Included in the lists of Grand Jurors is the name of Charles Sauers, who conducts a hotel and bar at Fortieth and Filbert street.,; Cyrus H. K. Curtis, magazine and newspaper publisher; William L. Austin, former president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, and Franklin N. Brewer, general man ager of the Wanamaker stores, are also named in the list of twenty four jurors.

SECOND DIVISION GETS OVATION Several Harrisburg Boys Are Members of Famous Fight ing Organization Several boys of Harrisburg and nearby towns figured in the parade of the Second Division in New York yesterday afternoon. Tho divison is composed of one brigade of marines and one of doughboys, in addition to their artillery brigade and engineers, and they received a tremendous ova tion as they marched up Fifth ave nue behind their leader. Major Gen eral John A. Lejeune, himself a "leatherneck." Leroy Manbeck, of Hummelstown, is a sergeant in Battery E. Twelfth Field Artillery, and has been in the service for over four years. He went through all the heavy fighting .vith his battery and is now ready to get out of the service, but as he is a pre-war regular, must go to the boarder with the Twelfth to-day, and serve out his "hitch." Sergeant Man beck said he would not even be al lowed a furlough for some time, but will be stationed at Camp Travi3, Texas. Harry W. Wilhelm, 1419 Market street, is another local boy who fought throughout the campaigns with the Second. Ho was in Battery A of the Twelfth Field all the time, and says that though he likes the life, he will be pretty glad to see Harrlsburg again and expects to come home on Monday. His father and mother were in New York to meet him and see the parade yesterday. A. H. Stackpole is another local boy who was in "A" Battery. A Famous Unit The Second Division is, with the original American Division, the First, one of the best known of all the A. E. F. Going overseas in the winter of 1917, the divison took the line for the first time in March, near Verdun. They had a quiet sector for a month or so, but were then moved in to stop the gap at ChateaU Thierry, and thereafter were in it hot and heavy until the armistice. A story is told in connection with their first ap pearance in the line: The French had sort of an understanding with the boche to let well enough alone and not stir up the sector. The marines took over a section of trench, and immedi ately began sniping off a few boches, who were unaware of the change in force opposite them. In the midst of this a French officer came along and roundly berated one of the "leather necks" for firing; one of our own officers heard it and told the private to go to it, then he said to the French man: "Where do you get this quiet stuff; you don't think we came 3,000 miles to sleep in your doggone trench es, do you?" And the sniping con tinued. Mnile Wonderful Hrrord The division hung up numerous rec ords for itself. It captured 228 boche officers, 11,738 men, 343 pieces of ar tillery. and ,1,350 machine guns. Its loss in prisoners was only five of ficers and 152 men. The total ad j vance against the enemy was 62 kilo meters. At the same time its losses were heavy.
