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.
Wertz Relieved
The opposing twirlers last night
were "Lefty" Challenger and Don
Wertz. After Wertz left the box
Bruce Mellinger. a brother to the big
star went into the box and showed
plenty of smoke.
Right in the opening round the
West Enders made enough runs to
land the game. As in this first
game, "Bill" Euker drew a base on
halls. On a passed ball he went lo
second and home on McCord's drive
over the middle station. Shafer was
out at first, McCord going to second.
"Fat" Wagner hit to center fieid,
McCord scoring. Wagner advanced
to second on a wild pitch. Palmer
drove out a three bagger into the
crowd. Had not there been the
overflow, Terry would likely have j
made home on the drive. Palmer
scored when Tim Euker hit to F.h
ling who threw wild to first. 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.
Reading Came Back
Reading came back in the third
by nicking Challenger for five hits
and four runs. The losing team was
fortunate in bunching five of their j
six hits in the third. 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. George Swartz hit to center
scoring Levan. West End sent
Strieker to the bull pen where he
started to warm up. But from then
on, the Hillers got but one more hit.
This brought the total to 5 to 4, and
was the closest the two teams were
during the contest.
Then the West End total began
to swell until the game ended with
the score 15 to 4. Every player on
the victorious team had a hit while
five of them hit two times. While the
uptown aggregation has now won
two contests, the Hillers are plan
ning to fight back Thursday night,
and will not admit defeat until the
third contest has been played.
Strieker and Mellinger will be op
posing twirlers. Bender and Wag-

npftg *4©ataraTY
London, Sept. 3.—Eddy McGoorty,
of Oshkosh, Wis., was knocked out
by Joe Beckett, the British heavy
weight champion, last night in the
seventeenth round of their sched
uled twehty-round bout. It was a
hard battle from start to finish, with
Beckett proving to have more class
than he had been credited with by
many of the ring critics. By this
victory Beckett is considered to
have placed himself right in line for
a battle' with Jack Dempsey, the
heavyweight champion of the world.
In the main .preliminary to the
Beckett-McGoorty bout Fred Ful
ton, the rangy American heavy
weight, registered a one-round
knockout over Arthur Townley, Joe
Beckett's sparring partner, in one of
the preliminaries to the Joe Beck
ett-Eddie McGoorty twenty-round
fight at the Olympia here last night.
Townley, of Southampton, was a
ready target for the big American's
left. Fulton jabbed the home boy
freely, then flattened him with a left
hook to the Jaw.
This was the first European ap
, 1 ptarance of the big American.

To-nlKht's Game
Marysville at Duncannon.
What may be the deciding game in
the Dauphin-Perry League race, will
be staged on Rosboro Field, Duncan
non. this evening when the Marysville
leaders lineup against Duncannon. A
victory for Marysville would clinch
the pennant for that aggregation, al
though the best that either Newport
or Port Royal can now do, is to tie
up with the leaders.
Both teams promise to place their
strongest lineup in the field this
evening, and an interesting game will
be played. Marysville will use Its
regular lineup. Harry Biever, who
has won nine of Marysvllle's ten vic
tories, while at the same time being
charged with but two of the five de
feats, will be Manager Sttes' hurling
selection. Abner Hippensteel will be
behind the bat.
Strong nntterlcn
For Duncannon, the hurling choice
is somewhat uncertain. Edward
Strieker, star hurler of the team, may
not be available for use because of
the post-season series between the
West End and Reading clubs. In cjse
he is not eligible for use. It is ex
pected that Garverich or Nose will be
used. "Ossle" Waltz will be behind
the bat.
No matter what the result of to
night'sgame is, Marysville will go to
Port Royal on Saturday to play a
double header, its final games jf tho
season. Just now it is uncertain if
there will be any other games In the
league on Saturday. Newport has a
chance to tie and In case Marysville
loses to-night, It is understood that
arrangements will be made to p : ay
off the Newport-Duncannon tie at
Duncannon on Saturday.
Preliminary arrangements are be
ing made for a post-season series of
I' games between Marysville and West
End, who are practically sure of win
ning the Dauphin-Parry rag and the
city title, respectively. Preliminary
arrangements provide fur a throe
game series.

No Drafts From Minors
in This Season's Program
Chicago, Sept. 3. Club owners
of the National and American
Leagues will not draft star players
from the minor leagues this fall.
This was decided last night when the
National Baseball Commission re
commended that the privileges of
the draft be suspended for 1919 be
cause of the "uncertainty now ex
isting" between the major and minor
leagues of the country.
The commission ruled, however,
that the major league clubs be per
mitted to continue the purchase of
players if suitable arrangements
could be made with the minor league
clpbs.
