The United War Work ball is at the
corner of Gordon street and Kansas
avenue. sWhen a thousand dollars
have been raised in the interest of the
boys over there the ball will be
rolled to the white way pole SO plac
arded, and SO on, until the North side
quota has been raised. The boys need
our help now, and for months to come.
Let us show them we can give as glad
ly as we can celebrate.
Two negro men were discussing the
peace celebration yesterday, and one
asked the other what he thought Of
the news that the war was over. "Ah
DON believe it," he answered. "Ah
never did believe it, an All don't now
This celebration is jes' bluff to keep
the public satisfied"
The rope stretched across Kansas
avenue on which the War Work ban
ners are hung, was cut within six in
ches of the end last night by a stray
shot. The banners were rehung this
morning, entailing considerable work.
The War Work ball was placed at
the corner of Gordon street and Kan
sas avenue last night at nine o'clock.
At II o'clock it was found at the Union
Pacific tracks. where it had been
rolled by some practical jokers.

MY Word" +" They Did
Jolt John Bull

London, May 20.-An eleven-inning
game marked the opening of the
American baseball season in England
yesterday. The score was:
r. H. e.
Army ....... IL b
Navy .... =
Admiral Sims threw out the first
ball. The umpire was Arlie Latham,
the former New York Giant star. 1t
was the first baseball game ever
played at the Arsenal football
grounds at Highbury. The spectators
included Admiral Palmer, of the
British Navy; Captain William Arch
er Redmond, son of the late John
Redmond, and many Londoners, who
saw baseball played for the first
time.
The American rooters were so ex-
cited in the ninth inning, with the
score a tie, that three airplanes
sailed over the field almost unno-
ticed.
When the nearly 1000 Americans
stretched after the seventh inning,
as per Polo Ground etiquette. the
British boobies, disconnected by the
unusual scene, started an investiga-
tion.
The Londoners were much amused
by the American baseball slang. A
league has been formed with three
teams from the American Army and
one from the Navy, an international
rivalry being attained by an equal
number of teams from the London
| headquarters.

Eddie Plank Outpitches Bill

Three Hits

The Lebanon team of the Steel
League defeated steelton on Satur-
day "over there" before a big crowd
of Schwab magnates and a populace
hungry for another pennant. Leba-
non flung high it's flag won last year
and that should have been enough to
make them lose Saturdays battle.
Pitchers figured prominently in this
opening fray. Eddie Plank. who has
been warming up gradually down at
the Cottage Hill, went the full nine
innings and the enemy touched him
up eight times. while Steelton was
gathering eleven wallops off Bill
Ritter Plank, who sometimes cuts
up in this fashion, had three hits in
four times up. and Bill Ritter banged
out double, which figured in the
scoring. The score:

Academy Up in the Air,
Loses at Lancaster

An eighth-inning batting rally de-
feated the Harrisburg Academy nine
at Yeates Saturday, when the team
went completely up in the air and
let in 10 runs. The final score was
13 to 10.
Up until the eighth the Academy
played air-tight ball and only two
hits reached the outfield. Just when
victory seemed certain Yeates began
to hit and with the aid of several
bad errors began a merry-go-round.
The Academy team went to pieces,
having probably been overconfident
and ten men crossed the plate before
the side was retired. In the ninth the
Academy filled the bases with one
out and had hopes of a rally but
grounder to third.
Catcher Stone was absent from the
game and Loudermilch took his
place, Newlin covering the first sack,
which was Laudermilch's regular
post. The feature of the game was
Esquerro's home run in the sixth,
which drove in Stewart. Bert star
red for Yeates at the short field.
Chicago, May 20.-Grover Cleve-
land Alexander may yet be seen in a
Cub uniform in several games this
summer. Other National and Amer
lean League stars who are in the
Army and Navy may also return to
their teams for brief periods of
work. 1t will be up to the players
and the clubs to arrange the mat
ter in conjunction with the military
authorities awards of furloughs and
leaves for the men.
