O'Neill pitched a good game except
in those two innings when the Ben
gals scored.
Harrisburgs outer garden men
played for lon drives. Some easy
outs were scored as hits.
Manager George Cockill is scouting.
He visited Bucknell yesterday. The
regular lineup was expected to-day.
Reading is here to-day and to-mor-
row. Two victories will help.
Yale looks like the seasons baseball
winner in college circles.
Joe Chabek is a veteran only in
baseball service. He is like q two
year old when working, and must not
be considered as in bill" Clays class.
Real baseball fans know the value of
this boy.
O'Neill should let his crJssfire alone
until his curves get along right.
Umpire Glatts should have had
four pairs of eyes yesterday. Too
many things happened for one man to
see them all.
President Graham should impose a
fine on managers who announce line
ur and change it when men come to
bat without giving notice.
Baker A. A. will play the Keener

on Cottage Ridge field.

Kid Stutz Outs Teutons;
Graves For Faster Company
Johnny Castles Short Field Star Hands Over Uniform and
Leaves For His Philadelphia Home

Little Kid Stutz has quit Allentown
and the Tri-State. This eccentric in
dividual on Monday handed over his
uniform and took an evening train for
Philadelphia. The only explanation
Stutz gave was that he believed he be-
longed in faster company and woulo
try to get berth with major league
team.
StutZ has not been as lively since
he was fined s25 for the fight with
Catcher Nagle, of Reading, on Me-
mortal Day at Allentown. His tactics
in every baseball game, in every town,
has also brought many unpleasant re-
marks Baseball fans had no ill feel
ing for Stutz. They knew that he
could not stand the jeers. In Harris
burg there Is an army of fans who
would take up for the little fellow any
time. Stutz may 80 to the Phillies.
The Allentown Chronicle-N News says:
r = .,>A
"Stutz is laboring unuer the deIusion
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-06-17

that the Philadelphia Nationals have
offered $4,000 for his release. 1t has
always been his ambition to get into
the big show and now when oppor-
tunity knocks StutZ says that the Off
Gals OF the Allentown club are pre-
venting him from realizing his fondest
dream.
The officials of the Allentown club
announced last evening that the Phillie
scout, who was here to give Stutz the
once-over returned to Doom without
making an offer for his release. The
club Is willing to sell providing a fair
offer is made.
Since coming to this city Stutz has
been the victim of many practical
Jokes perpetrated by his friends Fake
kilograms offering him large sums of
money to jump to the Federal League
were forwarded to him. These mis-
siVes only served to delude Stutz into
the ldea that he ought to be in the
main tent instead of a sideshow like
the Tri-State."

There are no great factories over

represent the toll of three or four
years. The hope OF the industry, in
case of a war at this time, would be
shifted to the shoulders of the chill

of a rug maker in Asia Minor is not
more than or cents a day"

FOREIGN TRADE

Billion Dollars a Year Waiting

\ foreign trade of nearly a billion
dollars a year is enough to make the

country. and Argentina crowded that
figure last year. To be little more
exact. it was about $3.50, 900. That
is nearly SIPS per capita. The foreign
trade of the United States is about
S4420 per capita. Evidently Argen-
