    THIRD GAME IN CITY SERIES TONIGHT --- JOHNNY GILL SHADES FRANKIE McGUIRE
THIRD GAME IN
CITY TITLE SERIES
Big Event This "Evening on
West End Field; May
Decide Championship
The third and what may be tho
final contest for the City Champion
ship. will be played this t...i at
six o'clock between Reading Rail
ways and West End teams, winners
of the Hill and uptown league pen
nants. The battle will bo waged at
Fourth and Seneca streets, the home
of the West Enders. /
In order to keep in the running.
Reading Railways will have to land
this contest. West End was the victor
in the two first games, and as the
championship is for the best out of
five, should West End win to-night,
the series will end. and West End will
then have a chance to battle with the
Dauphin-Perry champions.
Mellinger to Pitch
It is quite likely that Manager
Pressler will play his aee, Clyde Mel
linger in a last chance. Mellinger will
win with any kind or support and
good hitting back of him. Manager
Householder will have Strieker and
Winters to fall back on, with the odds
in favor of Strieker. Since Winters
has not been given a chance in the
series, he may be chosen by the West
Enders.
Local patrons have been flocking to
these contests by the thousands, and
even though West End has the edge,
another big throng will be sure to be
on hand to-night at the battle. Um
pires White and Xebinger will be the
arbiters. White will call strikes and j
balls, while Xebinger will take care
of the bases'.

GILL HAS SHADE
BEST OF M'GUIRE
! Leads Fighting For Joe Bar
rett's Opening Show
at Steclton
...-' J
SOLDIER DOT OnX
Tn the windup of Joe Barrett's
opening boxing show at Steelton
last evening, Johnny Gill, of York,
had a shade the better of Frank:e
MeGuire, of Williamsport, in six i
rounds. Gill had the edge on M: • !
Guire as far as condition went, and
led the fight all the way through.
In the second round McGu.io
showed a shade of his former light
ing ability when he sent some ter
rific punches into Gill's midsection.
In the other rounds, MeGuire did
considerable holding, making it dif
ficult for Gill to gauge any time his
blows. Several times Gill landed
hard on McGuire's face, but was un
able to put across the sleeper. Me-
Guire tried hts old tactics of laying
on the ropes and springing at Giil,
but Gill was more than a. match
for him in this kind of fighting, and
was the better infighter of the two
as well.
Preliminaries Went Bad
The show as a whole was rather
disappointing. The preliminaries
did not last more than a round
each. Uneven matches was the
cause of this. As an opener, Joe an
nounced that Young Wagner, of
York, would not be present to meet
Young Shay, of Harrisburg, due to
the death of Wagner's sister at Co
lumbia. This match was called off.
The second preliminary was brought
on after a long wait and only lasted
about two minutes. This go was
between "Kicker" Peck, of Carlisle,
and Danny Fortna. of York. Fortna
outweighed Peck by at least fifteen
pounds, and was a much more ex
perienced man. "Kiaker" was
knocked down twice in the first
minute of fighting and was willing
to take more punishment, but "Tim"
Proney, the referee, stopped the
fight.
One Blow Was Knougii
The next match was between
Harry Miller, of Glen Rock, and
Ben Atticks, of Harrisburg. Attick3
landed one real, solid one as an
opener and Miller failed to revive at
the count of ten. These two boys
were evenly matched as far as
weight went, but Miller never got
a start.
In the semiwindup. Young Silar,
of York, took the count in the sec
ond round when Billey Angelo, the
Greek lightweight champion, landed
a solid blow on the point of the
chin. Angelo proved that he is
some scrapper. He is built like a
real fighter and carries a punch in
both hands. Before the fight he is
sued a challenge to Sammy Schiff
or any other lightweight in this sec
tion of th- country.
Promoter Barrett announced that
he has leased the building at the j
corner of Front and Locust streets,
fho lton, and will remodel it into
a first class clubroom. The next'
show will be held in these rooms |
in about two weeks. It is probab.e ;
that Johnny Wolgast will be one of I
the principles in the windup. Bai
rott is trying to match him with I
Johnny Gill.

GALAHAD TEAM
TIES DILLSBURG
Local Ball Team Plays Great;
Game; Black Has Puz- j
zling Curves
The Galahad baseball team and !
Pillsburg battled to a 4 to 4 tie in j
seven innings lats night on the Dills-1
burg A. C. diamond. Art Black was
on the mound for Galahad and twirl
ed a good game striking out eight
batsmen but cosily errors in the sec
ond inning enabled them to tie the
score.
Two weeks ago Galahad defeated
Dillsburg in a slugging match and
last night Dillsburg was out for re
venge. Mac Williams was the mound
selection and it looked as if Galahad
was going to come home with the j
bacon again when they tallied four |
runs in the second on two singles, two.
doubles, a hit batsman and a base on j
balls. Dillsburg came back strong in j
their half of the second and on two ;
singles, a hit batsman and a base on j
balls and a costly error netting them j
three runs.
Smith Holds Galahad
Smith was then sent in the box j
for Dillsburg, and he held tho Gala
ihad team scoreless the balance of the |
game. With darkness falling over the
field Dillsburg tied the score in their
half of the seventh inning when Sim
mons singled, stole second and came
home with the tying tally when the
Galahad catcher left the ball get away 1
from him.
The game was witnessed by a large j
crowd of rooters and if cheering would j
have won the game there would have j
been nothing to it, for it was a very;
jubilant crowd throughout the game.

Eighteen-Year-Old Is
Still Showing Good Speed;
Remarkable Performance
One of the most remarkable perform
ances ever made in harness racing oc
curred recently at the Readville track,
near Boston, when Hawkins won an
amateur race in 2:1534. This horse
was foaled in 1901 and therefore is 18
years old. He made his record of
2:16% at Dover. X. H„ ten years ago.:
Goldsmith Maid is the only horse that
ever trotted faster than Hawkins at
the same age. She was 17 years old
when she set the world's record at 2:14
to high-wheel sulky. At 18 she trotted
in 2:14%. at 19 in 2:14 and at 20 in
2:14%. after which she was retired
and produced two foals, one of which
was the noted sire. Stranger.
The fastest record ever made by a
trotter in the teens was Country Jay's
2:0514. in 1910. The horse was then 14
years old. He trotted in 2:09% at 15,
but this fell short of the record of 2 :09
made by the Iong Island trotter. Van
Zandt, when she was 16 years old.
That many trotters retain their speed
to an unusual age is further proved by
Went worth's record of 2:04%, when 12
years old; by Sonoma Girl's 2:04% at
11. Sweet Marie's 2:02 at 10 and
Uhlan's 1:59 % when 9 years old.
Among pacers, Johnston, 2:06%, is a
notable example of perennial perform
ers He first lowered the world's rec
ord in 1883. when 6 years old. Ten
years afterward he was fast enough to
win a heat in 2:09%. and at 17 he
paced a mile in a race in 2 :12%. Prince
Alert was 12 years old when he paced
i a mile In 1:59%.
Boston Teams Plan Series
For City Championship
Boston. Sept. 4.—Chances of a
city series between the Red Sox and
| the Braves in October are good. Babe
: Ruth, with the chances of big money
I beckoning to him in the early fall, is
the only one of the Red Sox not defi
nitely committed as in favor of a city
series, and It goes without saying that
the Braves are keen to show what
they can do against the American
Leaguers.
Ruth says that the moving picture
people are after him rather strong. If
he had got into the world's series again
the intention was to build a hero film
around the big boy. As it is. there are
several scenarios waiting for him. But
he has not signed any agreement. He is
a good business man and is waiting to
see "what looks the best."
CAUSE FOR SUSPICION
"Senator Smugg has the manners
of a Chesterfield."
"Yes," returned old Festus Pester.
"Ho is always so polite and deferen
tial that he keeps rnc wondering
how much he wants v to borrow."

BIG CHIEF BENDER WILL
PLA Y IN WORLD'S SERIES
HAS JOINED CINCINNATI
Chief Bender will be in the
world's series. That is certain.
Cincinnati will have him in the line
up when the big games start. He
is there now and may pitch a game
this week. It was probable Bender
would be sent in yesterday against
Chicago. Bender was never in bet
ter form than he is at present.
The "Chief" whose career started
in Harrisburg, has been managing
a team in the Virginia League. He
brought his club from the cellar to
the top and won the championship.
Other managers were after Bender
but Pat Moran was the one man
who could get next to this star
twirler. He left Norfolk on Sunday
to join the Reds.
Oldring Pick Chief
In the same league with Bender
was Rube Oldring. He has been
watching the "Big Chief" all sea
son. and tells the world that he is
the only Indian who has ever came
back, and that Bender is better than
he ever was. Oldring says, "you
can give Bender all the credit pos
sible and then will not give him all
that is due. Words do not express
the form shown by this twirler,
now classed as a veteran. He has
speed and a good head, and puts
them over in the same manner that
won him fame in the past."
Many Friends 'lleiyr
Bender has a number of friends
in Harrisburg with whom he spends
part of the fall hunting season
every year. They have been in com
munication with this star and are
backing him to be a big factor in
winning tho world's championship.
Bender also has the backing of a
big army of rooters in Harrisburg.
He was always popular here and
his many friends are glad to see
him back in his old time form.
Tho proposed nine game series
is not new. It was tried once he
fore. Back in 1903. the first year
in which the champions of the Na
tional and American Leagues met.
The Boston Americans defeated
Pittsburgh in this series in eight
games, tho Red Sox winning five
games to three for the Pirates.^
The rival teams conducted their
own series that year and in 1904
the New York Nationals refused to
play the Boston Americans. When
the National Commission took
charge of the world's series in 1905
and drew up the world's series rules
it decided on a series of seven
games having decided that the
series of 1903 had been stretched
out too long.
Since then there have been sev
eral efforts made to increase the
length of the world's series to nine
games, the main argument used be
ing that so few series ever run out
to the full seven games and that
the fans would like to see more of
the games.
Few Series Go Limit
' The only series that stretched out
I to the full seven games since the
♦ National Commission took charge
were the series of 1909 and- 1912.
The 1912 series lasted eight games,
as there was one tie. One series,
that of 1914, was played in four
games, and seven have been played
in five games. That seems the
favorite length. Four have gone to
six games.
■ Heretoforre the National Com-
I mission always has frowned on ef
| fort 3 to increase the length of the
! series, and in justice to the com
| mission it must be said that it did
I this in spite of the fact that by
i keeping it in a seven game limit the
j rival clubs lost considerable money,
j World's series have become so
| popular in recent years that clubs
' sell tickets for the series, and usual
j ly it is necessary to refund quite
j an amount after series have been
I terminated in five games.

I CRITICISES haseiiam, i,eaoue
I Editor, Harrisburg Telegraph.
; Sir: I saw an article in your paper
; that a movement is on to have this city
i retain daylight saving next summer,
| despite the action of Congress, in re
i pealing the daylight saving measure.
[ Representatives of the "West End and
I Allison Hill Baseball League propose
to have an ordinance introduced in
Council to have all clocks turned for
ward an hour. I cannot see that it is
a benefit to the working class, but only
a benefit to the cheap baseball sports,
who are too cheap to support a flrst-
I class team, but shoot off hot air about
I baseball in the daily papers. What we
j want is an ordinance to benefit the work
| ing class, not only the baseball sports.
| Congress saw the measure was not
j a benefit to the working class and that
. is the reason for repealing the measure.
] I hope the next coming Council will see
> the same as our Congress did. X think,
it is time for the working class to wake
up and take notice and have some say
about the affairs of our city and not
have a few run the city. So wake up
all union men and send a petition to
your next CoAncil, asking them not to
interfere in what our Congress has
done in Washington. Hoping that the
workers in our big industrial plants will
do the same. For the standard time
was good enough for us years ago. Why
is it not now.
Yours truly,
A CITIZEN.

Saturday's Games
Marysville at Port Royal 2 games.
Marysville clinched the 1919 Dau-1
phin-Perry League gonfalon last'
evening when she easily won from j
Duncannon on Rosboro Field, Dun-|
cannon, score, 10 to 1, in a post-1
poned game. Marysville has been ill
the lead since the opening of the!
season, gaining undisputed posses
sion of the first rung in the league ;
on Memorial Day by winning both ]
'ends of a double header. Since then
.she has never been headed.
The result of last evening's frayi
was never in doubt. Marysville
jumped into the lead at the outset |
of the game when one run was scor- i
ed four singles. The other nine runsj
came in bunches, three being scored !
in each of the third, seventh and j
ninth rounds. A total of 20 hits, two |
of them doubles and one a triple,!
were pounded out by Marysville j
clubsmiths, 15 of them being secur
ed off Strieker during his 7 innings!
reign on the mound. The last ofl
the game developed into a farce, |
when numerous substitutions were
j made.
Loading Hitters
j Herman Rutter and Moore led the
| Marysville contingent at the bat, the
sterling first sacket- hitting safely
four times. Rutter and Moore each
secured a trio of hits. Every mem-
I ber of the team had at least one hit.
:J. Lightner, Hippensteel, Ellenberg-|
|er and Stees each securing a brace |
i of safeties.
Only live Marysville batsmen were:
retired by strikes. Only one inning
passed without a Marysville hit be-1
ing recorded. Eleven runners died j
on base.
Harry Biever, Marysville's star!
liurler, twirled a high class game, j
blanking Duncannon until the ninth!
lining. Then, with two men already
I retired, Dearolf drove the ball into
I deep left and scored when Stees was j
unable to lodnte the pellet. * Biever I
fanned an even dozen of Duncannon j
batsmen and allowed but five hits.
The Marysville contingent played j
a strong game throughout. J. Light
: ner had a busy day in the center gar- i
den, gathering in a half dozen
drives, several of them after hard
runs. Harp in center for Duncan- j
non made several nice catches. The!

Dave Fultz Resents Claim
of National Commission
New York,' Sept. 4.—Denying that J
the new International League is in- j
debted to the National Commission,
David L. Fultz, president of the
league, to-night replied to an ulti
matum of the commission demand
ing payment within thirty days of
$8,700 alleged to be due, on penalty
of withdrawal of protection from
"those cities which were represented
in the old (international) League."
Mr. Fultz said the threat to with
draw protection was of "little con
cern," but that the international
"resented the accusation that the
league members have failed to pay
their indebtedness."
The alleged debt, he said, was a
loan of $8,718.65 made by B. B.
Joljnson and the National Commis
sion to the old Buffalo club, of the
International League, to enable it
to fight the Federal League. No 1
other club, he asserted, had any re- i
sponsibility in the matter.

West End Will Have Strong
Football Team This Season;
Former School Stars Play
West End Athletic Club will be in
evidence on the Grid again this sea
son. This organization has for sev

aggregation. It was "West End who
first put a real independent football
team in the field and played opening
games with college and preparatory
schools in neighboring counties.
The boy in charge this year is E. .T.
Flickinger and lie is certain to pick a
good team. Among the candidates who
will be with him are a number of scho
lastic stars. To start off with there
are four good boys after end positions.
Art Winn, who played one of Central's
flanks in 1915, will have for opponents,
Heiney. McCain and Flickinger, of last
year's team.
Two former Tech stars, Jerry Frock
and Snitz Snyder will battle for the
pivotal post. Seven candidates will
