NO BASEBALL
IN MARYSVILLE
Collapse of Dauphin-Perry
League Makes War Garden
of the Town Diamond

Marysville, Pa, May 15.-After
furnishing the best kind of semi
professional baseball ever seen in
this county and some of the best
ever seen in Dauphin county during
the past three seasons, the Dauphin-
Perry League, operating in six towns
in the two counties, has gone out of
existence. At least it will not be in
operation during the 1918 season.
Organized in 1915. the league
continually bettered the grade of
ball played and with it advanced
the cost of supporting a team in the
several towns until during the lat
ter part of the 1917 season the costs
reached an eXorbitant limit for
towns the size found in the Dauphin-
Perry. SO with conditions in such
state of affairs the season of 1917
ended and the spark of enthusiasm
in most of the towns merely smould-
cred along If it did not die out alto
Sether. This condition, together
with the complications arising as
the result of the war, are the causes
which will prevent the Dauphin-
Perry from getting into action this
year.
For period, prospects were
bright for the league getting into
action with four of the six teams
represented, but Newport was the
only town that took any decided
steps to place team in the field.
There was absolutely no effort made
in the three Dauphin county towns,
Dauphin, Halifax and Millersburg,
to reorganize the associations in
those place with the purpose of
placing a team in the field. Dun
cannon would have lined up had the
other towns done SO, and it is be-
lieved Marysville would also have
fallen in line a month ago, but now
the only baseball diamond in the
town has been plowed up to furnish
food for the Allies, and so there will
be no baseball in Marysville this
year.
Thus ends the brilliant three-year
history of the Dauphin-Perry base
ball league.

It required the Reading team eight
over the Hick-A-Thrift tossers last
evening in an Allison Hill contest.
1t was the first extra inning game of
the season. When Bill" Euker slid
over the plate with two out in the
eighth, the shades of night were fast
setting in.
In an effort to land the battle,
both managers used two twirlers.
Hanson, product of the Milton Silk
League, started for the railroaders,
but was relieved by George Levan,
after the losers began to use their
bats to advantage. Jan" Irwin held
the winners to few hits, but with
two on in the final session and none
out, Garverich was pulled from
center field to make use of his
binding speed with darkness fast ap
preaching. But for an error by
Eyster at third, he would have held
the victors to tie score.
The "Hickies" outhit their oppo-
nents 10 to Z. George Levan hit safe
ly two out of three times at bat. His
out of eight times up. Carl Beck was
again on the job with his warclub,
whaling out a double and triple,
which scored most of the losers
tallies.
In the final frame "Vic" Ibach got
Texas Lacquer, and Bill" Euker
followed suite with another safety.
McCurdy struck out, but both run
ners advanced on passed ball.
Levan hit to the pitcher and Ibach
was nailed at home. When Carver
ich' threw to Eyster to catch w.
Euker off third, the latter busted for
home and tailed the winning run
when Eyster missed the ball. 1t was
the third defeat for the losers and
the third victory for the league lead
ers. The Hick-A-Thrift team played
hard game, and while they have
failed to register a victory to date,
they have lost all of their games by
close margins. Tonight the Galahads
will oppose the Readingites. The
postponed contest from Monday
night between Rosewood and Gala

PROFITEERING

n OR the public there is only
one course to adopt; that
is, economy in both essen
tials and non-essentials, par
ticularly the latter; also the
turning of all energy available
in money and muscle toward
helping the Government win
the war. Industry must be
stimulated at home to afford
this aid, but stricter discrimi-
nation is required as to what is
necessary and what is not.
There is a great deal of shallow
criticism concerning profitteer-
ing-a term which has not yet
been satisfactorily defined and
which is often carelessly used.
Profiteering is both a moral
and economical issue, and it is
frequently impossible to draw
the line. That any concern or
individual should exact exorbi-
tant profits out of war trans
actions, or take INSCRIPTIONS
advantage of the nations need,
or exploit food, clothing or
other public necessities, when
hundreds of thousands are
making every possible sacri-
flee, even offering their lives,
is abhorrent to every fairmind-
ed and patriotic impulse. Such
conduct depends mainly upon
the individual, and is FORUM
ateIy rare. 1t is difficult to de-
eide where profiteering begins
and ends, much depending up
on circumstances.-From the
