Captain Scot Guards.
After reading the note Sullivan lit
fresh cigar, put on his coat. and,
turning to the bearer of the note,
said:
"Well, tell the Prince and Drum
mond I won't disappoint them"
Then turning to bis friends. who
expected to see Sullivan duck un-
der his honors, he remarked:
If the Prince was not such a So
ciable, nice fellow I would not go
there tomorrow, for I'm dead tired,
and this means getting UP early.

FAST BASEBALL
FOR ALLISON Hill
League Opens Season on Mon
day With Reading, and
Prospects Are Bright

Officials of the Allison Hill Base
ball League will hold meeting at
7.15 tonight to perfect plans or'the
opening contest Monday evening be-
tween the Galahad and Reading
mines. Tuesday Rosewood and the
Hick-a- -Thrifts will clash. All con-
tests will be staged at Seventeenth
and Chestnut streets, and indications
point to the best season in the his
tory of the organization.
Manager Allen Fritz has a bunch
of veterans mixed with youngsters, a
com bination that he hopes will keep
the other teams hustling to beat out
for the pennant. Manager Pressler
has practically the same team that
handed the flag last season. He ex-
poets to repeat.
Earl Killinger has signed up an
other fast aggregation, one that will
bring more honors to the Rosewood
Club. He will pit his team against
Murray Washburn's team Tuesday
evening. The latter aggregation is
made up of a fast group of young
sters, who are out for victory.
During the past ten days the dia-
mond has been put into condition,
and the grounds will be in better
shape than ever before. While the
war time conditions have taken play
ers from all the teams in the league,
other material has been added to
the playing roster, so that the league
will likely be faster than ever.
Candidates for the position of UNI
pire will be given a thorough tryout,
and the final selection will not be
made for several weeks. The UNI
pires will be given entire control of
the contests, and they will call the
games at $50 o'clock. Seven innings
will be played, unless there is a tie
at the end of that period.
Increased cost of all playing ma
terial has added to the expense of
operating the league. AS no admis-
sion is charged to the games, the
league officials are depending upon
their patrons to come to their as
sistance. Treasurer Allen II. Fritz, 80
South Eighteenth street, is in charge
of the contributions.
Hill residents claim that they wit
ness the fastest brand of amateur
ball in this locality, as practically
every star is a member of this
league. Beginning Monday evening,
baseball will hold the attention of
East End residents, and good games
are anticipated until the latter part
of August. To-day the Rosewood ag-
gregation held a practice on the
grounds.

Baldwin Plant Will Be
Able to Handle Big Order

Philadelphia, May 2.-Govern-
ment locomotive orders at the rate
of 47O at one lick have no terrors
for the Baldwin Locomotive Works.
Stretched out in a straight line the
| finished product costing close to
$S1, 100000 might be expected to
present a formidable appearance.
But as for the government setting
the company on its head by stipu-
lating the contract must be COM
pleted by December 81, listen to the
comment of high official of the
company yesterday:
"It will scarcely affect our regu-
lar business. We are turning out
eleven locomotives a day on an
average. This order will be COM
pleted at the rate of twenty-five a
week when we get started"
Baldwin's has not been advised of
the complete details of the contract.
The order has been closed. but the
government has not specified the eX-
act number of engines in each of
the six classes desired. The figure of
$31 100000 approximately states the
full size of the order, although it is
subject to alteration, depending on
the class of engines purchased.
The relative size of the order can
be appreciated by the fact that the
company built and shipped 2,74S
locomotives last year. The capacity
of the plant has been increased since
then by the construction of a plant
for tenders at Eddystone. The num-
ber of employees, 10000. is about the
same as was on the payrolls at the
high-water mark at the close of
1917. The present order will be
handled entirely at the Eddystone
works.
