West End's chances for taking the
pennant this season in the West End
Twilight League was crimped last
evening. The boys who put the
screws on the leaders were the, Mo
tive Power aggregation. It was a
5 to 0 score. It was an humbled
bunch of pennant pacemakers that
left the field last evening. The crowd
was large, between 5,000 and 6,000
fans getting thrills on most every
play.
Predictions made regarding this
game were fully carried out. It was
a battle for blood all right, and root
ers for each team had a busy session.
Hart did the twirling for Motive
Power and had his opponents at his
mercy all the time. This boy was
never in danger and the best the lead
ers could do was two hits. Hart also
fielded his position nicely.
Stewart at short and Eberly at
second played a nice game, and Brown
in center field pulled down three hits.
Strieker pitched for West End. He
had good control and was given
strong backing. He was outguessed
in five innings. W. Euker and Shae
fer, put up a great fielding game.
Shaefer and T. Euker were the only
batters who solved Hart's delivery.
Motive Power scored in the opening
inning. Etter hit to center for three
bases. McCurdy and Brown struck
out. Garverich singled, scoring Et
ter. Hippensteel forced Garverich
out at second and the inning ended.
Another run was added in the sec

given a base on balls. Eberly sacri-

JUNIOR LEAGUE GOSSIP
East End, this season's cham
pions, is one of the fastest junior
teams in the State. With the two
famous batteries, "Louie" Karmatz
and "Chess" Strine, East End was
easy winners in the City Junior
League. Only eight defeats were
chalked up. •
To-night Swatara will meet the
champions in an independent game.
These two teams seem to be hav
ing the best battles and to-night's
game should be hot. Karmatz will
hurl for the champs and McLinn
for Swatara.
East End team claims the junior
championship of this city. Any team
having no players over 20 years of
age and claiming this title also
should communicate with Captain
Stoufer, 1833 Berryhill street, or

MRS. SAUERS IS
CITY CHAMPION
Retains Title by Defeating
Miss Mildred Shecjsley in
Challenge Match
Mrs. Chris Saucrs, 1719 State
street, retains the city tennis cham
pionship for women. In a challenge
match yesterday, Mrs. Sauers de
feated Miss Mildred Sheesley, of
Paxtang, 6-2 and 6-3. The match
was interesting. The winner, how
ever was never in danger of losing.
Her experience and splendid tennis
form was in evidence throughout
the play. Miss Sheesley played well
at times, but was a trifle nervous.
It was the second time Mrs. Sauers
has defeated Miss Sheesley. It was
a great day in the Greater Har
risburg Tennis Tournament. The
match was played at Reservoir
Park.
Mrs. Sauers won the first five
games playing almost perfectly. Miss
Sheesley showed brilliant work at
periods. It was the general be
lief that the serving of Miss Sheesley
was more accurate than that of the
champion, but the serving of Mrs.
Sauers was speedy and carefully
placed.
Miss Slicesley Comes Hack
After losing five games straight
in the initial set, Miss Sheesley
showed improvement and by a series
of clever placements and corner
shots, succeeded In annexing two
games. At times, however, Miss
! Sheesley played brilliant tennis and
J forced her opponent to the limit.
| Mrs. Sauers' superior generalship
counted. At no time did she appear
I much concerned about the ultimate
j outcome, though apparently some
what surprised at her challenger's
flashes of brilliant work.
The second set was much a repe
tition of the first, with the exception
I that Miss Sheesley seemed more
at ease and played a surer game
than at the outset. The final result,
however, was little in doubt after the
initial set.
I This is the second time that Miss
! Sheesley and Mrs. Sauers have met
lin the challenge round, owing to
war conditions, no city tournament
was run off last season, but two
years ago Miss Sheesley also won
the ladies' singles and opposed the
champion in the challenge round.
Two years ago Mrs. Sauers won from
Miss Sheesley by scores of 6-1 and
6-2, and-, the year before that she
took two straight sets from Miss
Kuth Starry by scores of 6-3 and
6-3. This is the fifth time that Mrs.
Sauers has wone her right to the
I title of city champion in ladies'
singles.

HYGIENIC TAKES
JUNIOR BATTLE
Wins Final Game by Timely
Bingles; Pitchers Show
Great Form
Hygienic won the closing games of
the City Junior League series last
evening defeating Swatara, score 4
to 3.
The winners took a big lead in
the opening stanza when Sharon,
first up, singled to left, stole second
and Niekey's slow grounder to Kirby
sacrificed Sharon to third. I. Avery
singled to right and Sharon scored.
Avery stole second and H. Hilde
brand's bunt sacrificed him to third.
A single by C. Hildebrand scored
Avery and another hit by Eshelman
scored Hildebrand. Evans fanned
and the scoring rally was over.
Swutara's Comeback
Swatara came back strong in the
third and it looked like Hygienic was
done for. Shaefer, first up, was hit
with a pitched ball. Matter's hot
grounder was too much for Cooper
and Shaefer went to second. Kirby
flied out to C. Avery. Kurtz fanned,
Shaefer next made a neat steal to
third and Simmons' long drive to
center scored both Shaefer and
Matter. Zeigler singled to center,
