E. M. Hershey Secures
Title to Hester Farm

+. NJ. Hershey obtained title to-
day to the Gabriel Hester Farm
situate in SusqHehanna Township.
Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, along
the River Drive from the Gabriel
Hester heirs who were in the city
to-day. The consideration was not
made public.
The farm consists of seventy acres
upon which is located the Augustus
O. Hester mansion and two small
tenant houses. About sixty acres of
the land is planted in an apple and
peach orchard.
The plot has been laid out into
building lots by E. NJ. Hershey, the
owner, and is known as Estherton,
the new River Drive Suburb. The
name "Estherton," was selected as
the name of the beautiful suburb on
account of the associations surround
ing it. 1t is, said that William Penn
named the island in the Susque-
hanna river, directly opposite the
property, "Estherton" in the origi-
nal conveyance from the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania and this
name was later adopted by the HES
ters as the name for their property.
The Hester farm has been
changed considerably, speedy i'm
provements have been made. thor
oughfares opened up, and the farm
has changed from a beautiful grow
ing orchard into a city layout.
Under the management of Will
liam j. Sohland sale of the lots will
take place Saturday next, May 5.

Eddie Cicotte's no-hit, no-run game
against the st. Louis Browns was the

earliest ever pitched in either major

April IA is six days earlier than
the only other no-hit championship
game registered by an American

tai, the late Addie Joss, of Cleveland,
turned in a no-hit game against the

the only other no-hit feat in the John
son league accredited to the month
of April.

no-hit games twirled during the
month of April. Incidentally they
both were registered on the same day.

against Boston, and Breitenstein, for
the Reds against Pittsburgh, bagged
these early hall-of-fame conquests.

Harvard to Play Yale;
Proceeds For Red Cross

Cambridge, Mass, May 1.-Unoffi-
cially Harvard's athletic authorities
view with favor the proposition
made them by Yale for a baseball
contest between the two great rivals
in June. The advisory baseball COM
mittee will decide definitely on the
proposition later in the month.
Harvard's proposition for the con-
tests will be to waive the one-year
residence rule so freshmen can play;
allow only students under the Platts-
burg age of 20 years and months
to compete, and award no letter for
the contests.
No admission will be charged, or
II there are gate receipts, they will
be donated to the Red Cross. The
games will probably be arranged for
the first week in June. one here and
the other at New Haven. Under
these conditions, however, both
teams will be deprived of their best
players.
