He all lowed two singles, one of them an in field scratch, in the first seven in nings, and in the seventh he started the batting onslaught which clinched victory for his team. He tripled to deep center with one out, scoring on Bancroft's single. McGaffigan followed with a single, and Stock drove both home with a double to center. Con- way threw wild trying to catch Stock going to third. and the latter scored the fourth Philadelphia run of the inning.
 Mayer had Boston shut out till the eighth. when two consecutive fumbles by McGaffigan allowed Pinch Hitter Bailey, who had hit safely, to score konetchys tumble, Smiths single and Conway's sacrifice fly scored run for Boston in the ninth. Score

dent of Allison Twilight

For the third successive year, C.
Howard Reel will head the Allison
Hill Twilight League, in the ca
pacity of president. More credit
belongs to him for the success of
this organization than any other
person and Hill fans will be pleased
to hear of his selection. Allen H.
Fritz will again act as secretary and
treasurer. He has been connected
with the league since its incorpora-
ton, and has always been a booster
for the success of the league.
Plans Up Next Week
e. e. Knauss was selected vice
president, and Harold f. Cobaugh,
assistant secretary and treasurer.
Officials of the league will endeavor
to start the season about May 1.
This weeks meeting was more in the
nature of an organization meeting,
and when the managers and officers
meet again, more detail work will
be taken up. Secretary Fritz has
called the next meeting for Thurs
day, April 4, at the Y. NJ. C. A.
Four teams will start this seasons
race, the Stanley A. c., Galahad r.
c., Philadelphia and Reading, and
Hick-A-Thrifts. There will be one
new manager, Pitcher Johnson will
lead the Stanley's.

international League Fails
in Efforts to Start Plans

New York, March 2S.-After an
all-day session at the headquarters
of the International League here, the
club owners adjourned until to-day
without having reached any definite
agreement as 10 the future of the
organization.
Acting President Chaplin, OF Ro-
chester, said after the meeting:
We discussed a number of impor-
tant matters to-day, but the future
Of the international League or what
is to become OF it was not one Of
them. l cannot say what our club
owners will decide to do, but for my
self 1 state that if minor league
baseball is to be played it must be
dcne on a war basis. The public is
not concerned about baseball at the
present time. There are far more
serious matters occupying the public
mind.
zone thing I am sure of. however.
is that the club owner who protects
his franchise this year will be we'll
pleased later on that he did so.
Probably by tomorrow 1 will be in
{ position to say exactly whether the
international League will operate or
not during the coming season"

FIX RULES FOR
BASEBALL TAX
Those Exempt This Summer
Include Boys Who Gather
Home-run Hits

Washington, March 2S.-"Ladies
Day at baseball parks will not be
affected by the war tax, according to
an announcement made by the Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue. The bu-
reau has ruled that the admission
of lady on a gentleman's ticket
without extra charge is not taXaDl
because the same ticket covers both,
even though an unaccompanied
lady must pay the same admission
as a gentleman"
Others who are exempt are base
ball writer's, telegraph operators,
bona fide employees of the baseball
associations, public officers on Off
cial business and children under the
age of IL, who are admitted free.
The term public officer" includes
policemen and firemen only when in
attendance in the course of their
duty.
There will be no change in the
time honored custom of admitting
gratis, the boy who RECEIVERS the ball
after it has been knocked over the
fence, the statement says. The bu-
reau has decided that holders of
season boxes or seats must pay the
tax for every game whether the
seats or boxes are occupied or not.
In announcing that the tax is to
be paid by the person paying for the
admission, the statement quotes the
regulations to the effect that the
proprietor is not allowed to pay the
tax for his patrons and no place
where taxable admissions are charg-
ed would be permitted to display
any sign, notice or placard to the
effect that war tax is not charged"

Prospects Bright in
Dauphin-Perry Towns;
May Change Circuit t

Prospects are now fairly bright
for the Dauphin-Perry Baseball
League entering the field again this
year, and having successful sea-
son. In all probability, however,
this league which has furnished such
excellent sport throughout Central
Pennsylvania during the past three
years will likely exist in changed
form this year. a meeting Will be
he'd soon.
Several of the smaller towns feel
that they will be unable to sup
port league ball. Consequently the
league will likely open with but
four teams in the field.
Informations has come from Dau-
phin that that town will not be rep
resented on the diamond this year.
Reports are fairly encouraging from
the other five towns, Newport, Dun
cannon, Marysville, Millersburg and
Halifax.
Activity at Duncannon
Stewart Duncan, of Duncannon,
one of the leagues most enthusiastic
supporters, is working hard to make
the league a reality this year. He
reports that Duncannon is especial
ly desirous of having league ball
this season. Newport, which won
the pennant last season, is lining up
in good condition. With the league
assured, the ball needs only to be
started rolling at Marysvile. One
team from the Dauphin county cir
cult will round out the wheel.
Millersburg will likely have a team

been called to the attention OF the
advisory board of the association.
In the absence of the president and
secretary, both of whom have left
the school, because of the wartime
conditions, Gilbert Elmer acted as
president and Jerry Frock as secre-
tary.
At the chapel exercises this morn
ing, two trophies were awarded to
the school because of the splendid
work done by the basketball team
during the past season. To the
winners of the schedule were given
the Rensselaer, Polytechnic cup by
the alumni association of the insti-
tuition. The cup is one of the most
handsome that Tech possesses. 1t
stands on an ebony base, and the
cup itself is fifteen inches high, and
IL inches wide.
Another welcome gift was the Die
ner trophy, presented to the school
by Mr.. Diener. 1t is a splendid piece
of workmanship, and is as welcome
as the football trophy, presented
by the same donor. Both gifts will
receive prominent places in the
trophy case. The Reading Times
cup will also come to Tech, but will
have to be won three times FOR per-
manent possession. The Rensselaer,
and Diener trophies have come to
stay.

Big Shoot at Marietta
Takes Place Tomorrow

Marietta, Pa, March 2S.-The
members of the Lancaster County
Gun Club are looking forward to
Friday afternoon, when with the
weekly shoot on that afternoon,
handicap trophy will be started. The
trophy, handsome silver loving
cup, will be started on the first leg
of its journey. The member of the
local club who secures three. legs
on the cup will become the perma-
nent possessor of it. The winner of
each weekly shoot will be given a
leg, so the first gunner to win three
of the shoots gets the trophy.
This cup will be shot, of on the
handicap system, which gives all
the members of the club an equal op-
portunity for a win. This will most
likely make the race long and hard,
and it is now believed that the third
leg may not be won until in the
summer. However, this handicap
shoot is proving of great interest
among the members of the club, and
a score or more of the local gunners
will probably enter the contest and
stick it out to the finish.
