It is all over but the shouting in
the West End League. Motive Pow
er last evening Jolted the Common
wealth Travelers by a score of 1 to
0 and cinched second place. The
West End leaders apd Enginemen
Firemen, tailendcrs will play to
night. This will in all probability
wind up the West End Twilight
series. West End will start the
series with the Reading Railway
team of the Allison Hill League lext
week, for city championship honors.
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. The contest will be "called
promptly at 3.30 o'clock.
Edward Strieker, a star hurler of

Boiling Springs Team Is
Winner Over Local Elects
Gcrmer held Boiling Springs last
evening to three clean hits but four
bunts that went for hits on a bad
diamond anW coupled with a few
errors caused the P. R. R, Electri
cians to lose out, score 7 to 2.
The Elects had a great chance in
the sixth. Germer opened with a
single and stale second, Cook doubl
ed and stole third, Snyder walked
and stole second, Richards singled,
Cook scoring, Snyder going to third;
Rannan hit a hot one at short which
he stopped and caught Snyder at
home with still two on. Rhinehart
drove a long liner to left center
which Whitecomb caught after a
great run.
.Owing to the Ilick-A-Thrifts can
celling the Elects are without a

CINCINNATI IS
FAVORITE HERE
Leaders in the National Lea
gue RacelVleet Klein Team
Tomorrow
No matter how one figures Har
risburg fans will not pick any other
winner than Cincinnati, and the
Reds will be the choice of local en
thusiasts in the World's Series. Cin
cinnati has been a big favorite here
all season, and if the weatherman
is good enough to give the fans an
ideal day. Island Park will have a
record baseball crowd.
It does not often fall to the lot
of local fans to get a real cham
pionship team, but that is what is
due to play the Klein Chocolate
Company team here to-morrow.
Fans will be here from surround
ing towns. The upper end of the
county will send a large delegation
to give Jake Daubert their old
standby a great welcome. The Cin
cinnati team will arrive this evening
from York.
The game will be called at 3.45.
Manager Pat Moran is not certain
as to his battery. He assures the
local fans that his stars will all be
in the lineup and it looks as if he
would put In threo of his best pitch
ers. Manager Moran wants to keep
his men in shape, and will play
everyday from now until the world's
series, weather permitting.
Jake Daubert Coming
His lineup will include the famous
infield, Groh, Roth and Daubert.
The latter was born .at Llewelyn,
Pa., May 14, 1885. Ho bats and
throws left handed. His height is
five feet ten and one-half inches
and weights 160 pounds. In 1906
he was with the Lykens team and
played in the upper end of the
county. Scouts at once sized him up
as a comer., In 1907 he went to
Marion, Ind.,'played with Cleveland
and Nashville in 1908, Toledo and
Memphis, 1909, drafted by Brooklyp
1'909, wliere he has been since, fig
ured in a deal and joined Cincin
nati 1919.
Jake Is not only a great fielder
but one of the best hitters In the
business, leading the league two
seasons and never hitting below
.300. His last season record was:
Fielding. .991; hitting. .308. He is
another world's series player, hav
ing been with Brooklyn in the
world's series of 1916. He will
more than fill the place of Hal
Ctiase.
Ilclnie Groh
Heinle Groh, Cincinnati's third
baseman, was born at Rochester, N.
Y., 14189, bats and throws right
handed, height five feet, eight inch
es. weights 158 pounds. He start
ed and played in Oshkosh, 1908-09-
10; Decatur, 1911; fanned out to
Buffalo same season, with New
York, 1912-13, traded to Cincinnati
1913, where he has been since, being
captain of the Reds this season.
Helnie is acknowledged by every
baseball critic to be the best third
sacker in either major league, be
sides being a crack fielder he Is a
great batsman, hitting around .300
every season he has been with Cin
cinnati. His 1918 record is: Bat
ting, .320; fielding, .969.
Groh probably has the most uni
que position at the bat of any player
in the business, T>ut stings the ball
just the same as his 1918 record
shows. Besides being a star ball
player he is a crack bowler and
very popular.
Manager John Brackenridge, of
the Klein team, will have his star
lineup. He will pitch Walter Harn
ed. There may be one or two
changes, but the boys who made a
good showing against St. Car
■ dlnals and the Athletics will all be

Bill Ready For Wednes
day
Philadelphia, Aug:. 28.—Another nll-(
star program lias been arranged by'
Promoter Leon Rains for the Phillies' 1 ,
baseball ground on Wednesday even
ing, September 3. Every bout is a'
windup in itself and well worth the!
priees of admission. The following i
card has been arranged:
Joe Benjamin. Pacific coast light-;

adelphia.
Little Patsy Wallace vs. Walloping I
Max Williamson, both of Philadelphia.

seen in action Hi the opening bout.
Benjamin, in his initial appearance in:
Philadelphia, about a month ago, I
made a hit by outpointing Al. Thomp- |
son, the fighting Marine. In Koons, 1
Benjamin is facing a man who knows
nothing but fight during the time that
he is ii: the ring.
The second bout will bring together
two of the best flyweights in the East.
They are the slugging Max AVilliam
son and Patsy Wallace. Williamson
recently easily defeated Battling Mur
