    KLEIN HANDS WHITEWASH TO BOSTON-WASHINGTON HERE MONDAY-FOOTBALL STARTS
CITY OF CINCINNATI READY
FOR ARMY OF BASEBALL FANS
VISITORS TO HA VE PROTECTION
Cincinnati, 0., Sept. 26. —Baseball
enthusiasts from all parts of the
country will come to Cincinnati to
see the Cincinnati Nationals and the
Chicago White Sox clash in the
world scries games, if letters re
questing seat reservations aud hotel
accommodations can be relied upon.
President "Garry" Herrmann, of
the Cincinnati Nationals, was be
sieged weeks in advance of the clos
ing of the National League season
for tickets for the games by Cincin
nati followers of thy "Rods" and by
fans from every section of the coun
try, who desired to witness the
/fames to be played in this city. Ho
tels also reported that hundreds of
requests for room had been received.
To give every attention and conveni
ences to visitors during the world's
series games, the Cincinnati Cham
ber of Commerce planned to co-op
erate with the Cincinnati club man
agement.
Acting on the request of President
August Herrmann, the convention
and puhlicity department of the
Chamber of Commerce named a spe
cial committee of five to devise
means for best meeting the desires
of Mr. Herrmann.
Take Care of Visitors
The committee arranged to estab
lish a hotel bureau, in charge of a
competent staff to look after all re
quests for accommodations. It was
decided to list every available hotel
room, and to add to these accommo
dations a survey of every room in
boardinghouses and private resi-

■ -J
_ IDAY EVENING,
dences where visitors could be
lodged. All those rooms were to be
Inspected in advance so there Could
be no question concerning their de
sirability.
Word was sent to Washington,
requesting the co-operation of the
railroad administration in the matter
of obtaining desirable parking places
for special Pullman cars carrying
large private parties to the games.
It was expected that many visitors
would utilize their cars for sleeping
purposes while in the city, providing
they had parking places.
Arrangements also were in prepa
ration for suitable parking places for
the automobiles of out-of-town visi
tors and for parking places in the
vicinity of the baseball park during
the games.
Plain Clothes Men Busy
l For the protection of patrons vls-
I iting Cincinnati and Chicago d'uring
the playing of the series detectives
who are specialists in dealing with
pickpockets and auto thieves will be
very active in both cities. A large
number of Chicago plain clothes
men will be on duty here while the
teams are in Cincinnati and in turn
the local experts will mingle with
the crowds when the scene shifts to
Chicago.
Time was when the pickpocket
clans gathered from the four quar
ters of the country to follow the pen
nant-winning baseball teams to the
fields of world's series combats. But
times have changed, say the police,
and now it is easier to steal automo
biles than to extract a fat purse from
the pocket of an excited fan. The
professional "dip" still attends
world's championship battles but his
profession has fallen into decay. The
one-time adept at sniping a sparkler
from a scarfpin whose artful meth
ods combined courage and a sort of
legerdemain is as scarce as radium,
according to detectives.
Picking pockets always was haz
ardous and stealing automobiles has
become profitable with even less ele
ment of risk. So the pickpocket fra
ternity hag many members to
the easier means of unlawful profit,
say the plain clothes men.
Arrests Inst Season
Besides, of late years the police
have catalogued the pickpockets
pretty thoroughly. As a world's
series or other national gathering
takes the stage, detectives go on
watch at the railway stations. The
light fingered gentry are met by the
reception committee and escorted to
rooms at detective headquarters
where they remain, as guests usual
ly, until those with whom they
hoped to brush shoulders have gone
away.
Some "dips" escape the net, how
ever, and practice their artwith more
or less success. A world's series
game invariably is the scene of op
erations for a number of them.
Other thieves are there, too. The
automobile thieves predominate.
In three days of world series con
tests between the Chicago Cubs and
Boston Red Sox in Chicago last year,
the police arrested elghty-fiVe sus
pected pickpockets and auto thieves.
Nearly 100 motorcars were driven,
away from the vicinity of the base
ball park by persons not their own
ers. The majority were recovered
but many were not.
PENRROOK'S FIRST GAME
Penbrook will oj >en the football
season to-morrow, playing St.
Mary's eleven of Steelton. The game
will be played at Twenty-third and
Herr streets and will start at 2.45
p. m. Penbrook has been working
hard for tfiis contest. Coach Dunn,
a college star says ho has a fast
aggregation.

the seventh and players on second
and third, C. Deckard popped a fly
back of first base which Lentz failed
to see because of darkness, and
Gampey and Freed came toddling
home with the winning runs. Wed
nesday evening Liverpool will come
to Harrisburg to play the second
game of the three-game series on

BOSTON FALLS
BEFORE KLEIN
Chocolate Boys Take Red Sox
Scalp in Fast, Sensa
tiona IGame
Klein Chocolate team, 4; Boston
Red Sox, 2. Did they play ball?
The best they knew how. Fans who
have not reached the conclusion that
the Klein team is some aggregation,
are convinced now. At Island Park
yesterday with "Babe" Ruth the
Home-Run King in the lineup, pitch
ing and trying to hit, and all the
big starts except Schang, the Eliza
bethtown boys landed another vic
tory over a big league team.
There were some fans among the
4,000 spectators who were of the
opinion that the last three runs by
Klein were easy picking.. That may
be true, but they were earned. A
score of 1 to 0 for Klein would have
resulted had not the trio of runs
been chalked up later, and no one!
can say that Boston did not try to
get men on bases.
It was a pitchers' battle with fast'
fielding teams doing all sorts of cen-j
sational stuff. Bill Ritter had the|
best of the argument and he showed
he was not a bit frightened. Ruth'
fanned twice and did not even get a
hit. The spectators gave him a great
welcome and he tried hard to do
something. McGinnis and Walters
managed to connect with Ritter's
curves but the Klein twlrler was
never in danger. Jones pitched good
f * u . slx inn'ners and then Ruth
tried his puzzlers. It was on Ruth's
deliveries that Klein got real busy
with the stick.
In the seventh Kay reached first
op Shannon's error, was sacrificed
to second by Kauffman and scored 1
on Graffs two bagger to left field.
In the eighth with Ruth pitching,
Ritter opened with a triple to left.
Hunter walked and Wrtghtstone lilt
has s. the ball going to left
field, scoring two runs. Cranston
was an easy out and Kay walloped
one to right for a clean hit, scoring
Wrightstone.
Bill Ritter was a big star at field
ing as well as with his curve. He
retired the side In the eighth making
one great one-hand stop of a hit
over his bead. Thompson was also
fast, pulling down several drives
that were lpbled for hits.
At Lancaster to-day. IQetn met
Boston in a second game. To-mor
row they will play Williamsport and
on Monday come here for a game
with Washington.

Dickinson Athletes Are
Planning Strong Eleven
First Game With Albright
Carlisle, September 26. With .a
week of preliminary work, Dickin
son College football men are getting
down to business In preparation for
the opening game of the season
which will oe on tho list one week
from to-day when the Albright Col
lege men come here for the curtain
raiser. Dickinson has some old ma
terial and much promise Is shown
by the new men. The plan of cam
paign is to have a fast team making
up by speed for lack In weight.
Prof. F. E. Craver is again In gen
eral charge of athletics. "Bob" My
ers, former star now an Instructor
at Dickinaon Law and Trainer Mac-
Andrews are also on the job. Shel
ley, 'l7. Is. In charge of the freshmen
and a schedule is being arranged for
the youngsters Who will have good
preliminary training In brushes with
the regulars.
The Army haa aent back several
veterans, among them Palm and Cor
onoway for the backfleld, Prltchard
at end and Hendricks the sturdy cen
ter. Among the most promising new
men are Pepper, Young and Lahoda
who had some experience last year.
While from present prospedts the
team will be slightly below the .av
erage In weight the plan is to have
a fast .team with a good supply of
r.ew plays, fepeed Is the watch word
In the preliminary training,
TECH'S SQUAD IS j
READY TO BATTLE
Double Lineup May Go Into
Game With Allentown
Tomorrow
Captain Frank and his Tech High j
School football warriors are primed i
for their opening contest on the
Inland to-morrow afternoon. They '
will meet the Allentown High squad I
at three o'clock. Last year Tech j
scored 697 points to 10 by their op- j
ponents. This season "Haps" Frank
and his colleagues will try to equal [
that mark that brought nationwide 1
championship honors to this city.
Last year spectacular field run
ning characterized the work of the ]
Tech backtield. With the backtleld
again in operation with one excep
tion, patrons will see "Big Wils" I
battering down the opposing line
with his 185 pounds of muscle.
Then "Buddie" Lingle will squirm
through the sihallest hole in the line,
and to cap the climax, Carl Beck
will make a long end run that
brought fame to -him and Tech too.
Up on the line will be several
veterans who are largely responsible
for the big runs that Tech made.
Two of the Tech players who will
make lbng runs possible are Tackles
Arnold and Captain Frank. "Johnny" j
Arnold is playing a game on the line
that has never been surpassed by a
Maroon lineman. He has plenty of |
weight, and uses his head at all
times.
Two Teams Ready
Coach Smltli has two seta of
players whom he will use. Interest
will also be centered In Comfort at
guard. He came to Tech from Terre
Haute, and at once made a hit with
the players and coach. Comfort and
Hoffsommer will likely start the
game at guard. "Snaps" Emanuel j
will be the other wing lad. Coach
Smith will likely use this lineup
against the Lehigh countians:
