If the popular Mr.. Hoover knew
how much food had been conserved
BY the members of the Allison Hill
League during the past season. il
would not be at all surprising TO see
him at the games Tuesday and
Thursday nights of this week. It's a
safe bet that every member of the
league including the managers have
missed meals in their great hurry to
rush from their places of employ
ment TO the field in order TO have the
contests start promptly at $50. With
the players working until $50 and 6
o'clock each evening, it's a case of
missing either the ball game or the
meal, and usually the 4atter was
neglected.
George W. Bogar is displaying in
his windows the cup that will be
given TO the winner of the series be
tween Reading and Rosewood. The
trophy will be presented Immediately
at the close of the post-season
series.
should Rosewood win the next
game on Tuesday night, the season
on the Hill will close. In case Read
Ing wins Tuesday it will take an
other game Thursday night TO decide
the honors.
Patrons Of the league contributed
literally to the Red Cross fund coll
lections taken recently and both the
final games will be for the Red Cross.
Much favorable comment was
heard about the officiating of Al.
Baxter Thursday night. His decisions
were accepted by the players with
out a murmur. He will be in charge
of both of the final contests.
With two out in the final inning
and the score > to l on Thursday
last. it was up TO Don Wertz to tie
his own game. He drove out long
fly that looked good for the circuit,
but Thompson was lying in wait for
just such a drive, and by a splendid
catch ended the contest.

Standing of the Clubs

A stunning defeat at the hands of
Big jeff Tesreau on Saturday con-
Siderably jolted our local heroes,
headed by Eddie Plank, far famed
as port-side pitcher. 1t is said that
Eddie had just received word that
his peach crop down at Table Rock,
near Gettysburg, would be a failure
and instead of throwing a horsehide
Reach he thought he was handling
the succulent, soft, salivating peach.
Anyhow, the Bethlehem busters had
no trouble scattering Eddie's shoots
all over the garden, even Big JEFF
having a double and a single. 1t
has been a long time since any club
stuck Plank for thirteen wallops in
one afternoon.
Steelton did not fall asleep by any
means. She was trying, at least
for eleven men were left on bases,
showing that the breaks did not
come in Manager CockilIs camp.
Jack Knight let the snow collect on
his feet long enough to permit
some scoring, balling up Fishburn-s
bounder. Roxy Beach, on the con-
trary, pulled another of his Barnum
and Bailey stunts, travelling to left
for a difficult fly a2d doubling man
at second.
The Steelton lads were not dis
couraged, but Cockill will have some
hard workouts this week, for he
wants this seasons pennant. Leba-
non will play here Saturday and the
fans will have a chance to see
whether the absence of Steve Yerkes
has weakened the infield. Both
John Beall, in left, and Joe Nc
Carthy, at second, Cockills new tall
ent, were in the battle with both
feet and looked very good. The
Sp0ra.

The American League baseball
schedule will be played out until
September without any readjust-
ment, and a worlds series staged
starting September 3. 1t was de-
cided at Saturdays special meet
ing of American League owners.
Early indications were that the
American League owenrs would
vote to close the season between
August II and 20. But the atti-
tude of Barney Dreyfuss, president
of the Pittsburg National League
club and representative OF the Ma
tional League on the National Com
mission. changed this aspect.
Dreyfuss, while clothed with au-
thority to act for the league. had
iron-clad instructions that his
league would not be a partw to an
earlier closing than September 2.
He was also instructed to make
on agreement for a worlds series
to begin before that date.
President Johnson addressed the
magnates. saying that his inter-
iretation of Secretary of War Bak-
er's ruling on the work or fight"
order was that baseball should
close down before September /,
After some discussion the owners
agreed to put the situation to n
test by agreeing to close the sea-
son Labor Day and then starting
a worlds series September 4 IL per-
mitted by the Government.
There will be no changes in the
schedule because OF the curtailed
season.
