Fans Get Surprise Another big surprise was handed to the fans last evening when "Bibe" Brown, the centerfielder was sent into the box to twirl for the M. P.'s. It looked like a huge joke to the spec tators, who were of the opinion that the runners up were backing down. However, they soon learned that their dope was wrong. Brown is a pitcher, and he proved it last eve ning. He held the Travelers to two hits. Brown had speed and curves. The two bingles came in the fifth inning. In the final round Johnnie Smith connected with one of Brown's swift shoots and drove it to deep left field, j The ball looked as if it was labeled extra liases, but just as it was about to go over Garverich's head, this fleet footed little fielder leaped high into the air and caught it with one hand. Had this hit got away from Garverich, it would have, without a doubt, been a home run vhich would have tied up the score. Only One Run Washinger was on the mound for Commonwealth. He pitched a good game, but his support fell down at critical times. However, most of the niiscues were omission instead of commission. The five hits by the Motive Power were scattered. The lonely run came in the first In ning. Etter filed out to short, but McCurdy got safe on Winkle's error and stole second. Garverich Hied out to the catcher, after Wh Brown drove a fly to center whi 0 W. Smith misjudged and permitted to land safely. On this Lit, McCurdy crossed the plate. Hippensteel ended the in ning by flying out to Washinger. l.beul Series The first game in the local series will be staged on the Harrisburg Athletic Club grounds on Labor Day afternoon.
