Following the suggestion of the
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH, local
baseball managers are showing activ-
ity in an effort to arrange a. series
of games for Thursday afternoon of
each week. 1t is understood that the
soldiers will offer good sport at Island
Park. West End has a good field
with grandstand accommodations and
large crowds can be accommodated
there.
Martinsburg and Hagerstown are
still fighting hard, the former holding
the league lead by small margin.
Games on the Blue Ridge circuit are
attracting large crowds in most
towns. The race is interesting and
there is plenty of excitement for the
fans.
Boys from the Sycamore school last
night walloped Maclay boys in an ex-

contest took place on the Sycamore
playground, the score being to 3.
The Sycamore team piled up FIVE runs
in the sixth inning. Tomorrow eve
ming the second game will be played
on the Maclay street grounds. This
sport is popular with the youngsters
and the games are played in the eve-
nings.
st. Marys c. c. team will play at
Carlisle Saturday. The Steelton
champs will be entertained by the
Lindner team. A good game is ex-

MUCH INTEREST
IN BIG BATTLE
Leonard-Kilbane Bout One of
Best Arranged in Many
Years

Philadelphia, July 24.-The interest
of the boxing enthusiasts of the coun-
try will be conferred this week on the
six-round bout between Benny Leon
ard. the worlds lightweight cham
pion, and Johnny Kilbane, of Cleve-
land, premier boxer in the feather
weight ranks. which will be held to-
home of the American League base
ball club.
This contest, while it is only for
six rounds. stands out as one of the
bringing together. as it does. the
leading boxers in the two most popu-
lar classes of the ring sport. The
amount of the guarantees for each
of the promoters behind this big bout,
and indications point to the fact that
this confidence in the drawing power
of having two champions as oppo-
nents will not be misplaced. ALREADY
the promoters have received requests
for seats from boxing followers in
various parts of the country. and
there will be large, delegations of
Cleveland.
Working on a Guarantee
The boxers are both working on a
guarantee of $4,000 each. tidy sum
for an athlete to receive for eight
cen minutes actual work If the ex-
pectations of the promoters are full
filled the event will draw a forty
thousand-dollar gate.
The probability of a knockout is
cidedly remote. although by no means
an impossibility. Both boxers will
extend their best efforts to the work
of ending the contest in convincing
style, but, with two such clever ana
brainy glovemen facing each other,
the chances of a decisive ending in
such a short bout are slim. They are
conceded to be the two cleverest box
ers in the ring, and in this connection
kilbane has an edge on his younger
and more inexperienced adversary.
kilbane Veteran
Kilbane's eXperience-he is vet
eran of several years of hard boxing
ALSO gives him a slight edge on
Leonard in the matter of hitting abil-
ity, for the Clevelander is known for
his ability to finish an opponent with
a short, snappy blow which travels
only a matter of inches, while Leon
ard, in all his latest bouts ending
with knockouts in his favor. has
shown that he must batter down a
rival before being able to put over
the decisive blow. In the matter of
weight Leonard will have an advan-
tage, but this advantage will be small
for it is said that Kilbane has grown
too heavy for his own class and rs
much nearer the lightweight limit OF
1913 pounds than he is the feather
weight poundage.

New Orleans, July 24.-Bantam-

GOOD BASEBALL

American Teams Furnish In

Big Star

Here is a story from abroad on a
baseball game, sent to the New York
Herald:
About one hundred and fifty per-
sons went out to the Colonies dia-
mond yesterday afternoon and saw
the baseball team of the American
Ambulance at Neuilly defeat by a
score of 8 to the nine of the
American Field Service, 21 rue Ray
nouard, in a practice game full of in
terest.
Both mines distinguished them
selves by good teamwork, and 1t was
only in the last few innings that
the big bats of the Ambulance lads
connected with the benders of the
Field Service pitcher.
Loonis On First
Ted" Loomis, the crack runner of
the Chicago A. A, played the first
bag for the losers in a manner TO
make Hal Chase take notice. In
cidentally, Loomis won a safety razor
set for getting the longest drive.

Abbott was right above the pier head
now. He looked down at it through
the struts and floor beams and braces,
fastening his gaze on the questioned
member. There 1t stood satisfactorily,
of course. Yet, something impelled him
to walk out on the nearest floor beam
to the extreme edge of the truss and
look down at it once more, leaning far
out to see it better. He could get a
better view of it with nothing between
it and him. 1t still stood bravely. 1t
was all right, of course. He wished
that he had never said q word about ii
to anyone. He did not see why he could
not regard it with the Indifference that

all about the protest of the younger
Meade. The father had told him just
what he intended to do with it.
Shurtliff might have been a great
man if left to himself or forced to act
for himself. But pursuing great pas
sion so long as he had, he had merged
himself in the more aggressive person
ality of his employer and friend. He
had received a good engineering edu-
cation, but had got into trouble over
failure, a rather bad mistake in his
early career, too big to be rectified, to
be forgiven, or condoned. The older
Meade had taken him up, had been
kind to him, had offered to try to put
him on his feet again, but his big fail
ure had increased his natural timidity,
so he stayed on. He had become a
part of the old mans life.
Young Meade had never been able
to get very far into the personality of
Shurtliff, but he liked him and respect
ed him. He realized the mans devo-
ton to his father, and he understood
and admired him. Aside from that
| jealousy the old man could not but like
the young one. He was too like his
father for Shurtliff to dislike him. The
secretary wished him well; he wanted
to see him a great engineer. OF course
he could never be the. engineer that
his father was. That would not be in
the power of man. But still, even if
he never attained that height, he could

RuIIet-Pronf Glass

A new glass, transparent, tough and
strong, has all the advantages and
none of the defects of brittle, fragile
window glass, has been invented.
A % caliber bullet cannot penetrate
it, a brick cannot shatter it, heavy
man thrown against it under all the
terrific momentum of a collision would
not gather it, but would be thrown
back from it uninjured by flying glass
because none would fly; stone
thrown against it will bounce back
like a golf ball.
The secret of it's strength is a sheet
of white, transparent celluloid twen-

which is placed between two pieces Of
glass. The glass and celluloid are
simply welded together under high
temperature and tremendous pressure,
the resultant being a solid sheet pos
sessing all the transparency of the
best plate glass, combined with the
strength of a sheet of metal.-Popular

The message was received in ghast-
ly silence. No one spoke for a moment,
None moved. Colonel nlingworth's
face was fiery red. Bertram Meade
was whittier than any other man in the
room. He was thinking of his father.
The girl moved first. Her father
and the young engineer were the two
most deeply touched. They were both
in agony; both in need of her. Unhesi-
tatingly she stepped to the side of the
younger. And the father saw and un-

Europe's Largest Dam.

The largest dam in Europe has just
been completed near Barcelona, Spain.
It is built across the chasm through
which the Noguera Pallaresa river
flowed. Abutting on almost perpendic-
ular cliffs, the dam is constructed of
concrete, and measures $50 feet in
height and 100 feet in length. The
thickness is $50 feet at the base, grad
ually decreasing to IA feet at the top.
The valley above the dam was bought
from the various landholders at a cost
of near $1,000,000, and now filled with
water forms an artificial lake 151a
miles long and 3% miles wide. The
water that now passes through the
power house yields an electric current
of 10000 horse power. Later it will be
increased to 10000 horse power. The
water is carried by a system of canals
into an arid district, where it irrigates
a surface of nearly 100 square miles.
