Newsboys' Clubhouse
Benefits by Game

The defeat of the Department OF
Labor and Industry's baseball nine by
the Harrisburg Newsooys' Association
on Saturday places the newsboys in
the position of being one of the strong
est amateur teams in the city. 1t is
probable that in the near future other
games will be arranged between the
boys and various departments on the
Hill. where a league has been formed
consisting of teams from the Health.
Labor and Industry. Highway, and
other departments. The proceeds from
the sale of tickets for the game on
Saturday will be used by the News
boys Association for the purpose of
improving their clubrooms in North
Second street, above Pine
The game on Saturday was closely
fought and was won largely through
the splendid support which the news
boys gave their pitcher. The boys hit
in the pinches, too, and 1t was Klaw-
ansky's single to right field in the
eighth inning which brought in the run
that decided the contest. Emanuel on
third base showed big league form for
the newsboys. and Lopkin and Koplo-
vitz, as catcher and left fielder respec-
lively, put up star games. The team
was well-balanced one and was a
match for the older and more ex-
perienced players on the Capitol Hill
team. The score by innings follows:
