West End's pennant winners—the West End nine stepped a rung noaror the City Championship last night on the Allison Hill diamond by giving the Reading Railways team a real trouncing, la to 4. Liio losers hail two bad innings, the first and the fifth when West End tallied live anil six runs, while two more were added In each of the fourth and seventh rounds. Reading looked really dangerous In the third inning when they scored a quartet of runs, and all but tied the count. This victory was brought about by heavy hitting on the part of the West Enders. They drove Wertz from the box scoring 13 runs in five innings, three triples and two doubles being in the number. West End looked far the better of the two teams, and for the Allison Hill champs to win they will have to take three straight. Manager Press ler will play his last big card in Mellinger, who is now tossing for Klein Chocolate. He will be the Hill, selection for Thursday night at. Fourth and Seneca streets, while j Strickler will likely mount the peak for West End. With any kind of support, Mellinger will be sure to cop his game for the Hlllers.

Euker continuing around the bases while the Reading players threw the ball awav. McKeever and Knight were easy outs. Three hits and two errors with a base on balls netted the vic tors five runs.

Wertz drove a Slashing single to center. Shartlc j struck out. C. Swartz and Ellen berger singled, filling the bases. | George Levan hit one for three sacks into right center, bringing in three runners. With Gioliti out. second to first.
