Strengthen Claims to Cham

Game From Hershey
Hummelstown Fire Company
team last evening eliminated Her
shey A. C. from the county cham
pionship race, taking the game,
score 4 to 0. Hassler let the Her
shey batters down with but two
hits. Hershey at no time looked
dangerous. The Firemen outplay
ed their rivals at all stages.
The fire laddies got next to the
famous "Dutch" Connors' spitter
and slammed it to all corners of the
field in their half of the fifth in
ning, scoring three runs and putting
the game on ice.
Hershey tried hard to land this
game from Hummelstown, adding
three new players to their list, in
cluding J. Smith, Zinn, the former
Albright star, and "Dutch" Connors,
who won fame in the West End
League.
Real Ball Playing
Hippensteel played a wonderful
game back of the bat, and caught
the famous star, T. Heagy, in trying
to steal second. Out of three times
at bat he had two hits, one scoring
two runners and a neat sacrifice hit.
His catching was of high caliber.
Keller played a good game at sec
ond, accepting five chances without
an error and made a clean hit with
two down, sending the third run
across.
McCurdy played a good game at
first as usual, accepting nine chances
without an error and out of three
trips to the plate had two runs and
two singles.
Hassler has been pitching won-

Fans must hand it to those West
End champions. They must also
give Edwin Strieker all that is com
ing to him, and then some more.
West End last evening whitewashed
the Enginenien and Firemen, score
4 to 0. Strieker was a big factor,
in fact he has been one of the boys
who played a big part in winning
the Twilight League pennant. This
makes 16 games won and live lost
for Strieker. He is the leading
pitcher in the league.
Moe Eveler was on the mound for
the railroaders and he too pitched
a good game but lacked support. He
had one bad throw. The lust contest
of the season will be played this
evening with the Enginemen and
Firemen. The champions want to
keep in shape for the opening game
in the City Championship series at
Island Park Monday afternoon.
West Eiul Scores Run
West End scored in the third in
ning. Kline opened up with a single
to left. Strieker flied out to short
and W. Euker fouled out to Dill.
McCord singled and Kline crossed
the plate. Shafer ended the inning
by grounding out. second to first.
Two more runs were added in the
fourth. Embick singled and
Palmer then worked a double steal
successfully. T. Euker flied out to
Madden. McKeevcr grounded out,
short to first, Embick scoring on
the play. Kline followed with Abase
hit, scoring Palmer. Strieker flied
out to Waltz and ended the inning.
The fourth run was made in the
fifth, after W. Euker and McCord
had been retired. Shafcr singled and
stole Dill threw to Win
gard, who left the ball roll to cen
ter field and the runner started for
third. Ford recovered the ball, and
when he threw to third base to catch
Shafer at that bag, the ball went
over Scheffers head and the West
End thirdsacker crossed the plate.

Golf Was of Lowly Origin;
Did Not Start in Scotland
According to Some V/riters
"If tennis has a royal lineage,
golf, which was later regarded as
a rich man's game, had most
plebeian beginnings. Contrary to a
widespread belief, it seems not to
have originated in Scotland, but in
Northern Europe. Apparently it
was first played on ice, being one
of the winter sports adapted to the
physical geography of the Low
Countries. Even in the North,
though, it evolved to a terra firma
stage, as indicated by a sketch in a
book illuminated at Bruges, which
shows three players, each with a
ball and one club, playing on turf.
By the Fifteenth Century golf had
attained such vogue in Scotland that
' it threatened the cherished archery,
! and it is classed with "futeball"
and other "unprofitable sportis" by
James IV. That monarch, however,
seems to have disregarded his own
edict, as did enough other Scotch
men to keep the game alive.
Like tennis, golf was played by
both sexes. Critics of Mary Stuart
cited in evidence that her husband's
fate weighed so lightly upon her
heart that she was seen playing the
game in the fields near Sgton.
