HANDS FANS
POOR QUALITY OF BASEBALL;
KLEIN TEAM IS THE WINNER

Washington handed Klein Choco-
late Company team and local fans a
frost yesterday, playing indifferent
baseball, and doing other things that
did not meet with approval of the
spectators. Johnson pitched but
three innings and then went inte the
field where he did not show ans
form. Ellerbe at short permitted
two balls to pass him, and Rice in
the final inning threw a ball that
looked as If he wanted the game to
end. Klein played well. and won
in the twelfth with a score of to 3,
one man being down when the win
ming run was scored.
Washington came here with but
nine men and did, not have a bat
with them, using the Klein bats.
There were times when the Senators
looked like real players, but the lack
of pep" took much interest away
from the game. There was a rec
ord crowd in attendance, the esti-
mate being 10000. OF this number
about 5000 were soldiers and their
friends. 1t was Soldiers Day." and
there were many interesting side
features.
Ground Rules
Due to the big crowd ground rules
were necessary. 1t was impossible
to hit better than two bases no
matter how far the ball went. Klein
players went after the ball no matter
where it was hit, but Washington

The Eighth Regiment Band was
on hand. so were the boys with the
flags of allied nations, nurses and
women "Y" workers. They marched
to the field. Through the Y. N. c.
A., the soldiers and their friends
were we'll fed during the game. Ice
cream, pretzels, cigars, cigarets,
candy, chocolate bars, and apples
were distributed by the "Y" girls.
There were times when soldiers held
in their hands at one time, apples,
ice cream bricks, cigars and choco-
late bars, but they got away with
1t. There was plenty on hand.
The Boy Scouts were a big help
in taking care of yesterdays record
crowd. They lined the field and
kept the spectators back. and also
were kept busy carrying water in
their canteens to thirsty spectators.
The Scouts were on the Job all the
time and were accorded much praise.
How the Runs Came
Klein started the scoring in the
third inning. With two down, Hun
ter lifted one out to right field
which would under ordinary condi-
tions have been more or less of an
easy out, but went for two bases.
Wrightstone sent a rolling grounder

shortstop made little effort to get.

Leonard drove q liner down the third

HUSKY BOYS TO
FIGHT FOR TITLE
Interest Strong in Bouts on
Barrett's Schedule For
Tomorrow Night

Joe Barrett, Steelton boxing pro-
moter, announced to-day that he
had received word from all the out
of town boxers, saying they would
positively be on hand tomorrow
night, at the Olympia A. c., in Steel
ton. 1t is the greatest fight card
he has arranged for this locality.
No fighter on the bill, is worlds
champion, but they are all doing
their level best to gain that goal,
and can be depended upon to go at
top speed. Those who saw the two
wildcats, Billy Logan, the coal fields
lightweight champion, and Bully
Angelo, the Greek lightweight cham
pion, go at breakneck speed two
weeks ago, in their six round draw,
will not miss the opportunity to
see them fight it out in ten rounds
tomorrow night.
Many Challenges
Challenges have been received
from crack lightweights all over the
county, among them being such men
as frankie Britt, who defeated Joe
Tiplitz, Rocky Kansas, of Buffalo,
George CLANCY. of Baltimore, Larry
Hanson, the Durable Dane, who
fought Lew Tender, to a standstill,
and frankie Brown, of New York.
Another feature on the card, is
the six round bout between Young
Fulton, Allentown's best bantam
weight, who beat all his opponents
in local rings and elsewhere, and
Kid Richmond, of Baltimore, Kid
Williams boxing partner, who is
touted by the Baltimore sport
writer's as the logical bantam to fol-
low the great Williams shoes,
should williams fail to regain his
lost crown, in a battle with Pete
Herman, the present worlds cham
pion.
Jack C1eaver, another Allentown
boxer, is on the cards to meet Billy
Atticks, the local knockout artist,

boxers, Frank Bear, his manager,

PANAMA BOY Is
HARD PUNCHER
Meets K. o. Willie Loughlin in
Ten-Round Bout Next
Week

Jimmy Liggett of Colon, Panama,
who has been secured by the man
agement of the Motive Power Ath-
letic Club to fight K. o. Willie
Loughlin in the star bout of their
boxing show to be held on the eve
ming of Tuesday. October 7, makes
his initial appearance in Pennsyl-
vania in this bout. Liggett comes
here with good reputation earned
in the South and Canal Zone, where
he has fought Jimmy Taylor, Gus
Christie, Sam Hicks and others. He
holds a decision over Panama Joe
Cans.
Lggett arrived in Philadelphia
several weeks ago for the winter
season, and expects to be busy in
the large cities and the New Eng
land States. In agreeing to fight
Loughlin he fights the greatest well
ter in the country and the outcome
will be eagerly watched by match
makers over the country.
Clark Is Good Man
AL Clark of Philadelphia, who
fights Joe Marks, made a great rec
ord of scoring knockouts in his last
six bouts in Philadelphia, and now
finds himself being sidestepped in
Philadelphia. In Marks, however,
he will find one of the cleverest box
ers he has been called upon to meet.
Marks fought Jimmy Hill, the Aus
tralian Featherweight champion in
a twelve-round bout to a decision at
Lynn, Mass, last Thursday might,
after the Lynn people had about
given up in despair in getting an
opponent for Hill.
Marks probably makes his last
start in America in the coming Mo-
tive Power show, as his manager, AL.
Lippe, has contracted to send him
to France to participate in five
bouts, one with Charley LeDoux,
the French featherweight
The other bouts win be Nat Isaac
man vs.. Red Singer Of Dauphin;
Young Willis VS.. Billy Atticks, and
Kid Shultz VS.. Young Gladfelter.

on Atticks. Bear says his boys will
take back the bacon. Harry Cronic,
the York featherweight, who meets
Hal Shay, Harrisburg's gamest
featherweight, in the opening bout,
is another who is anxious to win.
Allentown sports have arranged to
drive to the fights from their city,
in autos to root for their home boy.
while many Workers, who saw An
gelo and Logan mix it in their last
show, will be on hand also. The first
bout will start at $50 sharp. There
will be plenty of room with good
view of the ring from any part OF
the house. Tickets are on sale at
Fairlamb's, in Steelton, and Bogar's
Sporting Goods Store, in this city.
