Cifside Oxfords
Have A Walkouer

The Cliffside Oxfords easily defeat
ed the Leonia Field Club by the score
of IT to 3. The Leonia team came
with a big reputation, but they came
just when the Oxfords had a good
hitting day, making a total of seven
teen hits, and G. Perraud was at his
best, allowing but four hits.
Joe Mitchell clouted the ball for a
home run in the first inning, which
was one of the longest hits of the
season on the local grounds. l.. Per-
raud, Wellbank, Shelly and Mitchell
were the heavy hitters, while Golman,
j. and E. Delaney fielded in good style.

Notes On The Game

Ed. Greer is certainly putting some
thing on the ball. Honest to good
ness, he had the Sunday school boys
granting in their efforts to reach
'em. He has never been in better
form Much obliged to Paul Brady
for coming down and winning the
game for us.
Charles Logan wasn't at himself
with the stick 1t is one of the few
times he didn't land on the ball safely
in game. The down hill side of the
diamond at third, also, effected his
throwing to first. But at that he had
four put outs and four assists, be-
sides sacrificing in run which helped
to win the game.
George Beckmann was in there
whaling the ball again with three
safeties, two of them doubles. Great
boy, George.
That boy Goemann is some pump
kins on the initial sack. He goes
after them anywhere.
The catching of Inninger wasn't
bad except when Ed Greer turned
loose his moist ones. Then the divvil
got into things. What he needed was
a bag.
Dreyfous has the making of good,
good ball player in him.
Cadien had sore hand is why he
muffed fly. Otherwise he was as
handsome as ever.
Thompson was as quiet as church
mouse in this game. He has re-
formed.

The poet wandered through the
streets. 1t was dark and the rain
began to fall, slowly, but without
force. In his hand he held letter
from home. Home, across the seas,
in peaceful U. S. A. The letter spoke
of jubilee, where the fireworks were
grand and the cannon roared it's
voice of exultation necessarily -
BOOM! Twas the crash of iron
against the church steeple and down
it toppled to Earth.
The poet ran to safety; then paus-
ed, his letter from home still in hand
"A jubilee and eXultation of cannon"
Hell! Such World!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Ana the
towns most prominant buildings
were rent asunder. Art, the work of
ages; the inspirations of past mast
ers, which future man can never re-
place. Gone forever!
BOOM! Hear the cries beneath
the roofs and under the wreckage
Scenes of hell, wrought by the will
of man in power.
BOOM and more iron is hurled
into the heart of an innocent and de-
fencless town. Iron, such great
need and so greatly abused. Mined,
heated, mans neutrality-suspicious.,
foul air-life's ebb slowly departing,
and all of this, for why? To make
life depart the sooner!
BOOM! This time small house
crushed. Two aged parents dead.
They gave the world five strong sons
and all answered the call to arms.
Four reported dead, but the parents
had yet to hear of it. For once the
crash proved a blessing, ere they
learned.
And the poet, still unhurt, wonder,
ed, pondered. At his feet lay hell
and across the seas jubilee.

Manager Peek, of Nordhoff, wanted
to win, so he got Foxen, of Tenaf1y,
to pitch, and Tommy is some pitcher.
But Nordhoff backed him up poorly
and when the Arrows saw they
couldn't catch ball they started to
pound the leather and then laid it
down and the Nordhoff players either
missed them or fell over them.
The Arrows got twelve clean hits,
and every man on the team scored
one or more runs. There were no
individual stars on the Arrow side,
for they all played great ball.
The Arrows can be counted among
the best teams in this section of
Jersey and will give any team a run
for it's money. The Arrows are all
home boys and all members of the
club, which is something that very
few of the teams in this section can
say. Manager Chamberlain believes
his team can defeat any home talent
team in North Jersey. They have
shown vast improvement in the last
few weeks in both fielding and
batting.
Backstrom pitched good game
Well, did he ever pitch any other
kind? Its the same old story with
Backstrom. All he did was to al
low Nordhoff three hits and two Of
them were fuky, or nearly errors.
He struck out ten men. Some people
say he is losing time pitching around
here; but he is not after the money;
he is working for the club and you
may believe he is some worker.
Nordhoff can have their Foxens and
the rest of the teams their stars, but
the Arrows stick to Backstrom. The

BARROW IS HOME;
IS NOT HOPEFUL
Finds Time to Hand Another
Knock Against Harrisburg;
Poor Chance For Minors

Reports from New York City re-
garding next seasons baseball pros
poets for Harrisburg are not very en-
couraging. Edward c. Barrow, presi-
dent of the International League does
not intend to do much for this city ac-
cording to the following dispatch:
'It will be bittah. bittah year for
baseball" So said Ed Barrow, presi-
dent of the International League back
in New York to-day with a lot of
bear stories gathered at the minor
league meeting at San Francisco.
From Barrow's predictions, 1t is gath
cred that the minor leagues will have
to sell chances on automobiles, rafi1e
off season tickets and collect dimes
from old ladies to finance their sea-
son. And it is to be a skinny year for
the players. Retrenchment, said Bar
row, is to continue.
Some changes in the International
league are in the offing President
Barrow admits that Harrisburg has
proved unsatisfactory. If the Eastern
association, reported to be on its last
legs. gives up the ghost, the Harris
burg franchise may go to Springfield
or Hartford"

FINAL BATTLE TODAY FOR SEASONS H
CENTRAL MEETS
STEELTON RIVALS
Final Scholastic Battle in Tri-
angular Series; School Spirit
Strong; Students Parade

Harrisburg's one big game at home
to-day was at Island Park between
Central and Steelton. Because of the
recent come back form of the Taggart
bunch, increased interest was mani
tasted in this contest. While Central
was the favorite many enthusiasts
were of the opinion that Steelton
might spring a surprise.
1t was an ideal day for a football
game. A crowd almost equal to what
may be expected next Thursday wit
messed the spirited argument which
started at 2:30 o'clock.
School. Spirit Strong
School spirit was strong. Student
bodies from Central and Steelton
made the welkin ring with cheers
The Commonwealth band figured in
the local enthusiasm. Central stu
dents marched to the game and the
procession included large represen-
tation of the "co-eds"
Steelton came to Harrisburg on spe-
cial cars. With Coach Taggart and
his team were at least 600 rooters in
cluding many high school officials
They marched to the Island over the
Market street bridge. The lineup OF
the two teams up to the time the
game started was an uncertainty.

got it on Yale's 3S-yard line. Guern-
sey dropped back for a kick, but in
stead Wilson dove through for four
yards. Guernsey tried kick, but
pass was poor one and he muffed
it, recovering the ball on the 20-yard
line. Guernsey punted to Watson in
the center of the field and there was
no run-back. Mahan punted over the
Yale goal line for a touchback. The
ball was brought out to the 20-yard
line. Yale started another wing
shift but Guernsey could not gain a
yard. Another wing shift netted Bing-
ham two yards. Guernsey dropped
back for punt. Watson caught 1t
on Harvard's 43-yard line. King
wiggled through Yales center for five
yards. Two more yards were added
by King also through center. On the
next play, Harvard ran off one of its
deceptive plays and King went

Guernsey Hurt
In tackling King outside the line,
Guernsey was hurt by being thrown
against the fence. His right arm was
hurt and he was obliged to leave the
game. His loss was a hard blow for
Yale. Chatfield Taylor went in. Ma
han on fake kick took the ball to
Yale's Syard line around right end.
Harvard gained half the distance to
the goal line as Yale was offside. AL
thought the pass was a poor one, Ma
han picked it from the ground and
easily dashed around Yales left end
for the second touchdown. Mahan
sent the ball between the posts for the
goal. Score: Harvard. 10; Yale, 0.
Way kicked off for Yale. The ball
went to Boles on Harvard's 1O-yard

on Harvard's 21-yard line. 1t was
Yale's ball and the Blue team started
another wing shift play. Vannos-
trand tried Harvard's right end and

Mahan with gain of only two yards.

How to Kill Scale

State orchard demonstrations. which
have been a feature of the educational
work of the State Department of
Agriculture for almost a decade, will
be resumed in something like 400 or
chards throughout the State within
the next fortnight. The plan is to
have from two to six demonstrations
in each county according to the num-
Der of orchards or farms containing
fruit trees, Philadelphia being among
the number which will have visits
from men who show how to spray
prune and treat trees.
1t is estimated that there are 225,-
600 orchards in the State and that the
production of more than half of them
has been improved in value through
adoption of scientific methods, while
commercial orchard work on an eX-
tensive scale has been developed. The
demonstrations will be conducted as
long as weather permits
State farmers Institutes, which have
been conducted for twenty years or
more were resumed this week in five
counties. These meetings will con-

be played to-day with interest center
ing on two contests-the Chicago-Illi-

two contests because of the claims
of Illinois and Minnesota, both unde-
feated this season, to the western con-
ference title. Illinois and Minnesota
