PUSEYS-HARLANS
N DOUBLE BILL.
Big Baseball Program An
nounced for South Side
Park on Saturday
BIG LEAGUERS
ALSO TO COMPETE

The greatest double-bill IN baseball
pfered the fans Of this city this sum
mer, Is contained in the bargain matt
nee at ihe Harlan Baseball Park ~e1t
Eaturdsy afternoon. Pusey and Jones
will line up against the Delaware River
League team Of Harlan's. and Bethle-
hem will endesyOr 10 stil further hum
bic the Steel League team from Har-
lan's.
-Four hours Of solid enjoyment for
the fans is the bill, beginning at i.3O
pollock. Harlan's and Pusey and Jones
will clash first, and II the game last
Saturday between these two teams was
a good one, this one Is likely to be
even better. The Pusey crowd surely
did surprise the supporters Of Bill
Gallagher and his friends, when they
wOl out. There were many reasons
Tor this, but the chief one was because
Bits bunch could not connect with
hits. at the oppOrtune time.
But that's no dlscredit 10 the Pusey
and Jones aggregation. They won
fairly and all honor TO them. But Cal
lagher stln believes that he has the
better team, and the opening game on
Saturday will give MIN another oppor-
tunity Of making good. Bill has had
his pets out this week practicing at
hitting the pill, and hopes 10 annlhilate
the next Pusey and Jones hurler, no
matter whom he may be. And the
Harlan r0oters hope no viii prove a
better prophet this week than he did
last
The game between Bethlehem and
Hsrlans big team viii Immediately fol-
low the Delaware River League contest.
Frol Payne has been busy since being
defeated at Fore River In manufao-
turing alibis, why the New Englanders
took his proteges into camp. The most
sredited and generally accepted report
was, because Dumont and Lake got
their signals crossed.
But IN the preparation for Saturdays
big game, the roOters nave begun 10
quit talking about the past and are
looking forward TO the future. Beth
lehem has been going very strong In
the Steel League, and Is within striking
distance OF flrst place. n it should win
on Saturday, Il might reach first place
from its third stall, at present. So the
team from Charley Schwab's head
quarters is not going 10 let any chance
slip by.
In addition 30 the two baseball teams.
there will be music galore. Harlan's
and pusey and Jones bands will doubt
less be there 10 do what footing they
can for "the home team, and besides
there will be the Bethlehem Band OF
900 pieces.
It's going 70 be some showdown be-
tween the Beihlehem and Harlan
Bands. There are some local critics,
who feel that In an emergency, Band
master Gox's crowd Of "umphers" and
"tat-taters'' and 'bOOm-bOoms" VIII be
able 20 make Just as credltable show
ing as the musicians from the Penn
sylvenla city, and they are all going
10 be there 20 prove their assertions.
payne's team that Is almost on the
sliding board, has a fine opportunity
20 tighten up the race in the Steel
League, and improve its position Dy ue-
featlnR the Bethlehemites. II they win
they will go ahead Of Bethlehem, and
might possibly land in second place.
SO there Is every inducement to win,
and Payne Is going 10 show some real
true "oome-baok" style he declares.
One Of the announcements Payne has
60 make. ls that Johnny Csrlln, who
has been playing such good ball for
Gallagher, will be I'm an inneld position
on the big team on Saturday. Carlin
has been whanging away at the ba1
and getting a hit oftener than some OF
his more celebrated colleagues, and
this do or die spirit OF Carllns is going
20 be recognized.
