Two former college pitchers en-
gagged in a great battle last evening
in an Allison Hill contest in which
the Reading team won out over
Rosewood by a 10 to score. Platt,
formerly of Dartmouth, won the de-
cision over Vreeland, wearing the
Red and Blue of the University of
Pennsylvania. While batters on both
teams hit the ball at a lively clip,
Plat had IL strikeouts, while VTee-
land whitfield Just one less. The larg-
est crowd of the season was on hand
TO see the battle, which was for first
place in the league standing.
Next in importance to the pitch
ing of the college tossers, was the
great batting of George Levan. In
tSJI trips to the plate, this versatile
player collected two three-baggers
and two singles. The remainder of
the hits We're we'll distributed among
the other players.
The losers played a plucky game
and did not give up until the last
batter was retired. The railroaders
played the more consistent game and
deserved to win. Pete" Shickley did
commendable work in the role of
umpire.

Holland Will Resist
Invasion by Enemy

Observation-Disclosures will resist any
invasion of her territory, said DR..
Henry Van Dyke, former United
States Minister to The Netherlands,
at Pittsburgh, in discussing the pos
sibility of a break between that
country and Germany. Ftve-sdxths
of the Dutch are anti-Germau, he
declared, and he doubted that Ger
many would make any move at this
time to add another Nation to the
group of her enemies.
DIR. Van Dyke, who was in Pitts
burgh to speak at the commence
ment exercises of the Western The
illogical Seminary. was of the opinion
that the German-Dutch crisis would
be settled on a compromise basis, at
least for the present.
In my opinion fiVe5sixths of the
people of Holland are ant-Germap,
because they know that Germany,
their nearest neighbor, is their most
dangerous neighbor." DR.. Van Dyke
said.
The Hollanders are first of all
pro-Dutch; that is, they want their
own Independence. For a long time
the Germans have wanted the mouth
of the Rhine, and the mouth of the
Rhine means Rotterdam. If Ger
many wants Rotterdam badly
enough to pay the price she will take
it, and no moral scruples will detain
her. doubt very much whether she
wants 1T badly enough to make an
other enemy for the sake of getting
it.
1T has looked to me from the
beginning as if the present difficulty
between Germany and Holland
would work out on some sort of a
compromise. The latest reports in
the newspapers indicate that this is
the case, but no man knows what
may happen next month or next
year. Only one thing is certain,
Holland will resist any invasion of
her territory from whatever quarter
It may come"

FOR CARL BECK
Tech Athlete Again Leads in
Track Events; Preparing
For Saturdays Classic

In the third day of the Tech in
terclass meet, Carl Beck captured
two of the three events run off by
Coach Hill assisted by w. D. Meikle.
Beck won the broad jump and also
the high hurdles. Zip" Malick was
the winner of the 440-yard dash,
making the quarter in SO seconds.
Sophs were again much in evil
dence taking most of the places and
adding to their large total so much
so that they continue to top the other
two classes. Beck topped the high
timbers in IS 2-5 seconds, followed
by ken" Boyer, Ossie Miller and
Loot" Heagy.
In addition to Malick in the quar-
ter, the other winners were Miller,
Birdie" Sparrow, Carbon Allen and
'Hennie" Shope.
Beck leaped 20 feet in the broad
jump, followed by Malick, Shader,
Kohlman and Strawhecker. The pole
vault was postponed because of the
high wind. This afternoon the coach
contemplates completing the events
with the pole vault, javelin throw,
half-mile run, hammer throw and
the class relay race. The second-year
lads hold such a commanding lead
that they will not likely be over
taken.
The events this week have been in
preparation for the meet at Pitts
burgh, Saturday a week, while the
following Saturday will see the big
classic over on the Island On Deco
ration Day the entire squad will go to
Lafayette; where they will meet stiff
opposition from the Mercersburg
Academy team, as well as other lead
ing prep schools from this section.

Tallest Hotel Ever
Will Be Murray Hill

New YorIS-The tallest hotel
building in the world is projected
for the block covering Fortieth and
Forty-first streets and Park and
Madison Avenues, in this city.
The high structure will be the
Murray Hill Hotel, which will be a
unit of the five-part group of hotels
which surround the Grand Central
Terminal = The Biltmore, Belmont,
Manhattan, Murray Hill and Com
modore-which are now under the
direction of John NICE. Bowman and
B. l.. M. Bates.
Sufficient information as to the
projected structure has been given
out to make it plain that it will over
top the highest hotel building now
extant and may even rear it's head
above the Woolworth pile.
The new hotel will be thirty-two
stories in height in its main struc-
ture, and from its quadrangular cen
ter will rise a tower, the height of
which has not yet been determined
The Murray Hill is the oldest and
smallest of the five hotels involved
in Sundays amalgamation. 1t was
about 600 rooms.
The Belmont extends five floors
underground and the new Murray
Hill will have the same depth. There
will be between them central distri-
button points for everything in the
way of service. 'E
The ne-]a5er of rooms which the
new Murray Hill will have could

he did say that there would be more
than 1900 rooms having a southern
exposure.

CAPITAL CITY SPORTS

In free-hitting game yesterday
the Academy nine walked away with
the Central 'Informals" by a score
of 10 to 5. The game was close un-
til the eighth inning, when the
Academy walloped Smith for seven
runs Smith showed signs of firing
at the end of the game, though he
pitched good ball at the outset. He
was a trife wild at all times. For
the Academy, Esquerro pitched with
ability. tanning a large number of
men. NOVEL; Hawkins and Newlin
We're the Academy's best bets, both
doing fine stickwork. Goodiel was
the star for Central. doing good work
behind the bat. Central presented a
weaker lineup than that which de-
feated the Academy a few weeks
ago, but they were dangerous until
the end of the game. This is the
first victory of the season for the
Academy and they are hopeful of de-
feating Gettysburg Academy when
they meet here on Saturday.
The score by innings:
central -. "a 90 0 o 1 o. s

In the first match of the second
round of the Academy tennis tourna-
ment yesterday afternoon Schreiner
defeated Solorzano in two fast sets.
Schreiper, who drew a pass in the

81 and 6-2. This afternoon Green
met Newlin in the second match of
the second round.
In the second game of the Central
Iron and Steel League last evening
the Open Hearth nine trounced the

AROUND THE BASES

The baseball world continues to
stare in wonder at the work of Earl
Hamilton, the pirate southpaw,
whose record as a come back pitch
er this spring is the most sensation
al chronicled in the major leagues
in recent years.
BY virtue of his 7-to-2 victory ov-
er the Cubs at Forbes Field the 9TH
er day, Hamilton to-day is the lead
ing pitcher of the country. He has
won five games in succession and has
yet to suffer defeat, and the only
other hurlers in the big show who
approach these figures are Tesreau
of the New York Giants and Will
liams of the Chicago White Sox,
each of whom has won four games
and lost none. And Tesreau, though
his record still is clean on paper,
failed to go the distance in his last
game and had to be relieved in the
ninth inning
Contrary to general report Yale is
opposed to the resumption of inter-
collegiate football neXt fall. Prince
ton, Harvard and Yale were to have
met in New York last Friday aight
TO decide on a course of football
action for next fall, but the session
had to be postponed until late this
week. Princeton and Harvard have
determined to so ahead with for
NAL football, Princeton is worst off
as far as material is concerned. 1t
has fine set of backs, but no line.
However come what may it will
send an eleven onto the field and
it hopes that Yale will see fit to
follow suit.
Yale still cliugs to the stand it
took last fall-that it is not in good
taste to play formal football While
the war is on, and that such COM
petition would interfere with mill
