CINCINNATI SURE FLAG WINNER McGRAW CONCEDES IT —BIG GAME THURSDAY INTEREST AT FEVER HEAT IN CHA MPIONSHIPSERIES; FOURTH BATTLE THURSDAY With the series evened up between the West End, champs of the West End Twilight League, and Marys vllle, pennant winners In tho Dau phin-Perry, and with arrangements definitely made for the fourth and ►fifth games, interest remains at fever heat between these two con'.''".:;snts. The best semiprofessional baseball ever seen in this city is the manner in which it has been characterized by many baseball fans. Never has any baseball series in this city aroused the Interest that this one has, and never have local fans flocked to any series as they have done in this. Saturday s rec ord-breaking crowd on the Island, surpassed this year only by the one that came to see the Cincinnati Reds, National League champs conquer Klein Chocolate, is expected to be equaled in both remaining games. Marysvillo, by her victory on Saturday, evening up the series, has become the favorite in many sec tions in which the odds in betting have been placed on the Perry doun tiana. West End. however, remains a favorite in many Bectlons and some of h<r supporters are placing odds on the uptowners. In most sec tions, however, betting is even. Fourth Game Thursday The fourth game will get under wav on the old 11. A. C. grounds in island Park on Thursday promptly at 5.15 o clock, whl.e the fifth contest will be staged on Sat urday afternoon on tho same grounds e.t the same time in the afternoon. If a Hixt.h game is necessary, it will bo staged next week. In the fourth game on Thursday, the same teams that lined up last Saturday will again be seen in po sition, with slight changes. Biever. for Marysvillo, and Striker, for West End, promise again to be the hurling selections. Strieker, how ever wil| likely have a new receiv ing mate in the person of "Benny' Kline, replacing Paul Knight, who had a finger nail torn off in Satur day's game. Marysville's lineup in the last two games has included eight of the nine players who figured in the open ing game of the Dauphin-Perry sea son against Duncannon. The new face is Abner Hippensteel, behind tho bat, who replaces Earl Killinger, who left the team in the latter part of July.

That the squad looks nromising, was the consensus of opinion of the former Maroon ath lete*. I •IdlUfflp Harry "Fat" Ellinger, who has nad three years experience on the Tech scrubs, made his first appearance with the team last evening, and showed splendid form. He was fast on the line and broke up many of the plays that were lauitched at him and his side of the line. He should make a strong bid for one of the line po sitions.

Hitting Is Weak Hitting in the series has not been especially heavy. Both teams are batting under .200 with West End having a slight edge. The West End average is .196 as compared with .184 for Marysville. Biever has a slight edge on Strieker in strikeouts, the figures being 27 and 26. In bases on balls, Strieker ha* yielded three, all to Rntter, Marys ville's clever third Backer, while Biever walked only one man, W. Euker, the first man up In the first game of tho series. Marysville has used the sacrifice hit on five occasions, while the West End champs have called it into play but two times. West End has a slight edge in base stealing, having seven pilfered sacks to four for Marysville. West End recorded six of their stolen bases In the first game. Gcrdes Is Leading Gerdes is leading both teams at the bat with the percentage of .455. He has had five hits In eleven times at bat, two of his drives being for three sacks. Wagner, of West End, and Moore, of Marysville, are the only other .300 hitters, both having averages of .333. Four of Wagner's hits have been for extra sacks, two being for doubles and two for triples. He scored West End's single run. W. Euker, McCord and T. EukV are tied for the base stealing record with two each. Strieker, of West End, and Stees, of Marysville, lead in strikeouts, each having whiffed five times. Figures on the series follow: of the Tech Varsity for three years, he knows the ins and outs of the game. Another lad who made a great show ing last night was "Midge"Matter. The only thing this boy lacks for a regu lar berth is a little more avoirdu pois. Last night he showed his old time speed displayed last winter on the basket ball floor. Ho was placed at end, and practically nothing could pass him. Faculty Director Grubb has landed Allentown High School for the initial i contest, Saturday a week. From then on there will be a game every Saturday for Tech on the Island with two exceptions. The team will go to Greensburg and Mercers burg. On those dates college contests will be staged in this city. With baseball on the decline, the thud of the pigskin will soon be heard as welcome music to the ears •/; the sport followers of the city. SNOODLES By Hungerford , ] | ( wwe i KING OF HOME RUN HITTERS; HOW HE SET HIS RECORD Babe Ruth has no sense of news value. He had to pick out the day General Pershing returned to bust Buck Freeman's home-run record which had stood for a third of a century. And then ha expected to get his picture in the papers. Any how, Babe did it. He selected one of Herb Thormahlen's curves as it approached him about knee-nigh and sent it into the ri£ht field stand at the Polo grounds. That was his twenty-sixth home run of the sea son, Freemen made his record of twenty-five homers in 1889 when he was a member of the Washington , club,, then in the National League. Bable Ruth, in establishing a new record for homo runs, has played no favorites. Twenty-one different pitcher 3, scattered over seven of the eight clubs in the league, have been vic tims of his crashing drives, and only five have had to watch him make the circuit twice. These five are Bob Shawkey, of the Yankees; "Jing" Johnson, of Philadelphia; Urban Shocker, of St. Louis; George Dauss, of Detroit, and "Doc" Ayers, of Detroit. Three New York pitchers have felt the power of his blow—Mog ridge, Shawkey twice, and now Thormahlen. His full record to date follows: April 23—Mogrldge, N. Y., at Now York. May 20—Davenport, St. Louis, at St. Louis. May 30—Perry, Philadelphia, at Philadelphia. June 7 —Dauss, Detroit at Boston. PROMISE THRILLS FOR FIGHT FANS Joe Barrett's Second Bill In cludes Gill and Wolgast in Windup Showing form ten percent, better than he has ever been, Johnny Gill opened up his training in Steelton yesterday. This boy is always in shape for a good battle, and when he shows an improvement thero is always something doing. Gill meets Johnny Wolgast, of Lancaster, at Steelton to-morrow night. It will be a ten-round match. This battle is the headllner on Joe Barrett's second bill for his new Olympla A. A. at Front and Locust streets. Gill will have a much tough er proposition than he did with Mc- Gulre. Another big feature form to morrow night will be the semi-wind up between Billy Logan of Allentown, and Bill Angelo, the Greek fighter. It is staged for six rounds. Good Preliminaries The two other bouts of six rounds on the card, is of more than passing interest locally, as Billy Atticks, the fast rising middleweight, who gained fame two weeks ago by knocking out Harry Miller, the light heavyweight in one punch, will meet Walter Kuhn ert, Steelton's best in the middle weight class. Another local boy, whom Barrett says is going to make his mark in the fight game, owing to his gameness, and hitting power is Hal Shay, who meets the tough Young Wagner. York and Allentown fans as well as Lancaster will be very much In evi dence. Harrisburg is Interested in every bout on the bill. The big pro gram starts at 8.15 sharp and there will be no delays between the battles. AMATEUR TEAMS TO MEET Cleveland, 0., Sept. 16.

Salleo pitched brilliantly and was given very fast support. He did not pass a man or strike out a batter. Benton was hit freely in the first five innings. Duncan Hits Ilomer Duncan's home run to right field gave the Reds their first run in the second inning. In the fifth, after they had filled the bases on hits by Schrieber, Sallee and Rath, Benton weakened and forced in two runs by passing Daubert and Duncan Long and accurate throws from tho outfield cut off New York's chances to score. In the first in ning Neale threw ut Burns at third base aftfer stopping Kauff's hit to right and in the second, Duncan caught Kelly's long fly and threw out Statz at the plato when he tried to score from third after tho catch. Statz, who tripled in the second inning, was the only New York player to reach third base. Following the Reds victory Man ager John McGraw conceded the championship to Cincinnati and con gratulated Manager Pat Moran. A victory to-day for the Reds will clinch the pennant.
