WEST END-MARYSVILLE SERIES STARTS TODAY-KLEIN TEAM WALLOPS MACK CREW
EXPECT REAL BASEBALL
IN CHAMPION GAME;
TEAMS EVENLY MATCHED
Hundreds of persons from Harris
burg, Marysvllle, the several towns
of the Dauphin-Perry circuit and
other surrounding totyns of Dauphin,
Perry and Cumberland counties, are
expected to throng Island Park late
this afternoon. Starting promptly
at 5.15 will be started the first of the
series of five games between West
End, winner of the title in the West
End Twilight League and winners of
the city title by virtue of their de
feat of Reading, and the fast Marys
ville combination, winners of the
Dauphin-Perry League.
Both teams are in fine fettle for
the opening game of the series,
which has been anxiously awaited
for several weeks. West End, after
winning the last game from Reading
last week, kept in trim by playing
a picked team and has been working
faithfully that it may not go stale.
Marysville wound up its race last
week, with three games. Clinching
the title by defeating Duncannon on
Wednesday evening, the players took
it easy and did not extend themselves
in the double conflict at Port Royal
on Saturday. They may be expected
to arrive in Harrisburg slightly early
to-day to work out on the Island field
and get accustomed to the grass in
field.
Look For Four Games
Neither team is expecting to take
the series in three games, and it is
fully expected that a fourth and
probably a fifth game may be neces
sary to decide the honors. The
fourth game, in every probability,
will be staged at Marysville, where
the fans are anxious for a home
game. A fifth game will likely be
staged on the Island, if necessary.
Arrangements for the second and
third games call for their being
played on the Seneca street grounds

and the Island, respectively.
Betting Is Strong
The battery work to-day will be
taken care of by Harry Biever, vet
eran of veterans, on the mound,
and Abner Hippensteel, catcher, a
battery known throughout the com
munity. Biever has twirled a re
liable game this year for Marysville,
winning ten of the team's eleven
victories, being credited with but
three of the team's seven defeats.
Both of these men have been seen
this year in the West End Twilight
Lague, Biever being connected with
the Engineers' and Firemen, and
Hippensteel with the Motive Power
team.
The West End team is expected to
go on the field with practically the
same lineup that easily won out
from the Reading team. For the
first game "Kid" Strieker, star hurler
of the uptown aggregation who was
with Duncannon In the Dauphin-
Perry this year, is expected to be
on the mound. Knight will catch.

NEW MACK TEAM
IN GAME TODAY
Athletic Leader Has Been
Busy Lining Up New
Material
Philadelphia, Sept. 9. Baseball
fans who went to Shtbe Park to
day saw a big change in Connie
Mack's lineup. Tired of being in
the cellar and having an aggrega
tion that is easy picking for the
Klein boys and other teams
throughout the State, Manager
Mack intends to move tor some
thing better. Youngsters are a
hobby with the Athletic leader and
he has developed some great stars,
but this year's team has made a
poor showing. Old reliables who
have stood by Manager Mack are
also getting tired trying to do the
impossible in whipping a winning
team into shape.
Seven new players were in to
day's lineup. The latter included
Styles, catcher; Zinn, pitcher; Grif
fin. first base; Dugan, second base;
Galloway, shortstop; Thomas, third
base; Wingo, left field; Welsh, cen
ter field; High, right field. This is
the revised team of the Athletics and
after they get warmed up, Manager
Mack will try and have another
game with the Klein Chocolate boys
and other teams and show them he
can pick a winning team. Most of
them are from Atlanta,
Other Newcomers
Incidentally, there are other new
comers who will receive locker
space at Shtbe Park. In addition to
Styles, Griffin, Galloway and Wingo,
three Atlanta pitchers will check in
at Twenty-first street and Lehigh
avenue, at noon to-day. This makes
a total of seven players from At
lanta, the pitchers being Boone,
Roberts and Hasty. They left the
Georgia city yesterday at noon. The
fact that they traveled all night
failed to make Mack change his
mind to have them break into the
lineup as soon as they arrive here.
Zinn, who will twirl for the A's
today, is a newcomer, but is not as
fresh as the Atlanta boys. Zinn
broke into a boxscore with the
Mackmen last week. He is a Texas
youth. Charley High also has ca
vorted in a game or two. As for
Dugan and Thomas they are the
only Mack regulars in the battle
array that will show for the first
time against Detroit.
Welsh Duo To-day
Outfielder Welsh will arrive on
the same train with the Atlanta
delegation. Mack desired to use
one of the new pitchers Boone,
Roberts or Hasty, but figured it
would be rubbing it in to have them
step from a Pullman after an all
night's ride and ask them to foil
such hitters as Cobb and Veach.
One of the trio will work Wed
nesday.
"I have a flock of new players."
said Mack last night, "and I intend
to lose no time in learning just how
good or how bad they are. There
will be new faces in the lineup
from now on tq the end of the sea
son almost every day until I find
what I think is the right combina
tion."
Ruth Breaks Records
For Home Runs in League
New York. Sept. 9. Boston de- !
feated New York in both sections
of a double-header here yesterday.
The scores being 3 to 1 and 3 to 0.
The second game was played over
the protest of the Detroit club.
In the eighth inning of the first
game, Babe Ruth hit a home run
into the right field stand, for his
twenty-sixth circuit clout of the
year, breaking the established ma
jor league record. Buck Freeman,
of the Washington National League
Club, had held the record for years,
when he hit twenty-five home runs
in 1899. Ruth tied the record at
Philadelphia last Friday.
In the third inning, Ruth crash
ed into the left field fence in catch
ing a difficult foul from Fewster.
The compact knocked him down
and injured his right elbow. He was
put out of the game for five minu
tes.
Hummelstown Ready to
Play Middletown Team
Harrisburg will have another cham
pionship series. Hummelstown and
Middletown will mix it up. The first
game will be played on A. A. C. field,
Saturday afternoon, September 13,
starting at 3 o'clock. The winners of
i this series will play West End and
Marysville.
I To-morrow evening Hummelstown
i will play the All-Star of the Dauphin
' Perry league, starting at 6 o'clock.

"You never show the slightest sign

I other men's wives do."
She was roused to a first faint
flicker of interest.
"Do other men's wives call you
i 'dear'?" she asked Pearson's
Weekly.

HOUSE HEARS
OF OVERCHARGE
Few Kitchen Units of Equip
ment Cost United States
$171,687
Washington, Sept. 9. Seven
breadboxes, twenty-five kitchen
cabinets and sixty-six tireless cook
ers cost the government 9171,687,
according to testimony yesterday
before the House subcommittee in
vestigating ordnance expenditures.
The Steinbern Camp and Field
Equipment Company, of Chicago,
received a "War Department check
calling for 22,000 breakboxes, a con
siderable number of cook's chests,
or cabinets, and tireless cookers. It
delivered seven breadboxes. twenty
five chests and sixty-six tireless
cookers and put in a claim for $216,-
502, in addition to the contract
price for the goods delivered. Wit
nesses charged claims Included $7,-
760 for 'overhead charges and $5,-
363 for interest. The war claims
board allowed the company $171,-
687, in addition to full contract
price for the goods delivered.
The testimony regarding this set
tlement was given by .T. I>. Ben
nett, an investigator employed by
the committee.
The American Can Company, it
was testified, contracted to make
for the government about 100.000 -
000 eight-ounce hard-bread or
cracker cans. Two of its contracts
called for a price cf 6% cents a can,
but the bulk of its contracts stipu
lated a price of 5 % cents per can.
The war claims hoard allowed the
company, In addition to the con
tract price for all cans delivered,
about $3 42,000, which figure repre
sented the difference between the
purchase and the market price of
tin on hand when the contract was
canceled, freight and an allowance
for special equipment, such allow
ance being made on the basis of
part of the cost prorated on the
portion of the contract canceled.
For instance, on a contract for
$1,000,000, if special equipment
costing $lOO,OOO had been installed
and the contract canceled when
one-fifth executed, the government
would have paid four-fifths of that
cost, or $BO,OOO. The company, of
course, retailed all material and all
such special machinery.
Rensselaer H. Ismon, secretary
and treasurer of the American Can
Company, was the chief witness ex
amined by the committee. Mr. Is
mon explained the basis of settle
ment. asserted that the allowance
was not inordinate, and contended
that in order to meet the demands
of the War Department for con
stantly increased production, re
gardless of cost, his company was
put te extraordinary expense. Re
garding the allowance in 'he com
pany's salvage claims, only 10 per
cent, of the cost of the machinery,
its value after the armistice, Mr.
Ismon asserted that much of It
was virtually valueless to the com
pany. it having been Installed, es
pecially to make the type and size
of cans required by the govern
ment.

KLEIN TEAM IS
AGAIN WINNER
Win Over Athletics With Very
Little Effort; Few
Thrillers
Baseball fans were tabooed yes
terday by Connie Mack's Athletics.
They came here for a second game
with the Klein Chocolate Company
team for the purpose of having re
venge. They fell down in their ef
forts, for Klein won score 8 to 2. |
The game played by the Athletics I
could have been duplicated by any
team in Harrisburg.
Some fans who do not know base
ball may claim the Mackmen hand
ed the game to Klein. The Phila
delphia team played the best they
knew how. It Is rather costly for
a big league team to hand out gifts
iin exhibition games. Players are
too much interested financially to |
stand for any losses and it is a
loss to them in money to bo handed i
a jolt. Yesterday's exhibition was
strong proof why the Athletics are
in last position in the American
league. The £,OOO fans who witness- I
ed the game got few thrills from
the Mack crew.
Klein Boys Glow
Johnny Bracken ridge's boys from
Elizabethtown played a good game,
but not up to their usual standard.
There was a lack of the pep which
has been in evidence in the past. Of
course no very great efforts wore
necessary to land a victory yester
day. There was poor ftelding by
both teams. Thomas and Thomp
son figured in great catches, and the
home runs by Thomas and Wright
stone were thrillers.
Harned pitched for Klein Choco
late boys and was hit at intervals,
but used his head to a good advan
tage in pinches. His teammates
tightened up in critical times. The
two runs by the Athletics included
a home run and a score resulting
from a bad pitch. Noyes on the
mound for the Quakers, showed good
form, pitching at intervals a puzz
ling spitball, but he weakened
when his team failed to furnish the
necessary support.
In the crowd were 75 soldiers
from the Carlisle Hospital. They
enjoyed the game, and had lots of
fun with a big squad of soldiers
from tho local recruiting station.
The Carlis'e boys were guests of the
local Jewish Welfare Association.
Tho members of the Telegraph
Athletic Club were also guests of
the Klein management.
How Runs Came
In the third iriYilng High opened
with a two bagger by first base. He
went to third on Wa'ker's out from
second to first and scored on a wild
pitch by Harned. The second run
was the homer by Thomas who sent
a terrific drive to deep center
field.
Klein had but one hit up to the
sixth when eleven men faced Noyes.
and toyed with the spitball artist.
An error by Noyes gave Kauffman
first base. Then came four hits in
succession. Harned was walked,
and when Kauffman came up for
the second time he singled. This
mixture with fielders choice p'ays
netted the Chocolate crew six runs.
Wrightstone sent the ball to center
field in the seventh for four bags.
In the eighth with one man down
Gerdes singled, stole second and
went to third on Thomas' error. He
scored on a wild pitch.

Veteran Pop Geers Is
Injured at Syracuse
Syracuse, N. Y„ Sept. 9.—Edward
"Pop" Geers, veteran grand circuit
driver, is in a hospital here, suffer
ing from serious internal Injuries as
a result of a collision in the 2.16
trot at the opening of the Grand
Cireuit race program yesterday.
Physicians reported they were un
able to report the exact extent of
his injuries, but they stated Geers
would not be able to drive again
for some time.
It was in the third heat when the
accident occurred, and the veteran,
driving Heglar, was caught in a
pocket. During his effort to get
clear, one of the jther horses broke
and threw Heglar out of his stride.
