West End was pitted against the Commonwealth Travel ers, and up to the time darkness spread over the field- it was one ; great battle, with thrills almost ' every minute. The leaders had Menear on the mound. He was effective up to the fourth when the Tra%*elers got busy. Washinger pitched for the Commonwealth and after the first inning looked like a winner. He had the best of the hit argument. With one of the West Enders out In the beginning of the sixth and ® another on second base, Washinger -claimed that his catcher could not i see the ball on account of the dark ' ncss, and he left the field. The . West End players thought that the • inning should be completed, but the Commonwealth pitcher would not t return to the mound and the game . ended. The West End management 1 may insist on being given the game , 9 .to 0, as it was up to the umpiro to call the game. However, it is . the belief that sportsmanship will J prevail and the game played over. West End Scores West End scored two in the first inning. Tim Euker started with a single to center.

DECISIVE GAMES IN D-P LEAGUE Marysville to Clash Tomorrow Afternoon—Port Royal Plays at Home STANDING OK THE LEAGUE Teams W L Pet. Marysville 9 5 .643 Newport 8 7 .533 Port Royal 6 7 .462 Duncanon 5 9 .357 SCHEDULE KOR SATURDAY Newport at Marysville. Duneannon at Port Royal Marysville and Newport, the two leaders in the Dauphin-Perry cir cuit will meet to-morrow afternoon at Seidol Park, in what may be the deciding contest of the season for the pennant. Should MarysviUe win from Newport, it will mean that Manager Stees' aggregation can lose all of Its remaining contests, allow ing Newport to win its remaining games, and the worst that can hap pen to MarysviUe is to be tied .at the end of the season for first place. Jumping into the lead on Memorial Day by winning a double header, MarysviUe has kept to the fore with a goodly margin until injuries to players crippled the team, and the nine hit a slump. Now but one and a half games separate the two lead ers, and a victory for Newport will cut down the lead to half a game. Saturday's struggle will be the last contest played at home by Marysville, the latter team having three games on foreign soil. Should this team win Saturday, its total of contests would be 10 won and five lost. With three games away from home, Marys ville could afford to drop all of them and wind up the season with a rec ord of 10 won and 8 lost. More of the Dope Continuing the "dope," provided Marysville waxes Newport, this latter team would then have 8 won and 8 lost. Should it win on August 30, it would close the season with 9 wins and 8 losses. One game that ended in a tie with Duncannon would then have to be played over in order to give Newport a chance to tie Marys ville. Should a victory result, Marys ville and Newport would each have a record of 10 won and 8 lost. But the "dope" nearly always goes wrrng, and if the D-P wants to play the City champions for the local honors, no time can be lost in playing oft a tie. Newport takes the view that to win Saturday will just about mean an other pennant for Manager Taylor's crew, who aro the heavy clouters in the D-P circuit. This would bring the two leaders within a half game cf each other, and place Marysville at a disadvantage by having to play all of its contests away from home. May line Veteran Ilitttery It is likely that Marysville will use Hippenstecl and Harry Biever as a battery to-m >rrow afternoon. It is hoped to have Gerdes back on the job at short after a vacation, while Lightner will be absent in centerfield, having left the team to play .at Waynesboro. With Hippenstecl catching, It is possible that Keller will be switched to the outfleld. "Dutch" Conner has been keeping himself in good trim for Saturday, and has promised Newport to turn in a victory. George Swartz will do the catching. This will put Kerns in the outfield. Doner has been prov ing a good find, and Newport will continue to season this High school lad with the hopes of making a star out of him next year. He has been hitting timely, and pls.ys with the ease of big leaguer.

Game at Port Royal Port Royal, the youngest member of the circuit, will play its opening contest Saturday on the home grounds entertaining Duneannon. Manager Duncan's outfit has a win ning streak, capturing the last two games. With Strieker pitching, there is hope of the tailenders coming out of the cellar position. "Ossle" Waltz will be tho choice for catcher. Port Royal will in, all likelihood use Tioutman in the box with Bailor re ceiving. The newcomers have split even on their two games to date. Should Duneannon win this tilt, there will bo but half a game between third and fourth place. "Clint" White has been assigned to Marysville as arbiter by the presi dent, while "Dick" Nebir.ger will go to Port Royal. Next Saturday will see the close of the league with Marysville at L'lincannon, and Port Royal at Newport. A post-poned doubleheader has been set for Sep tember 6, at Port Royal with Marys ville. but this date may be changed to Labor Day, so that the season may close earlier, providing the holiday date is agreeable to both of the con testing teams. Rhine Best Rifle Shot; Wins President's Trophy Caldwell, Aug 22.—Sergeant J. B. Rhine, U. S. M.
