Tech Ball Players
Beat Mount Union
in Circus Finish

An eighth-inning ''over-the-top'
at Mount Union on Saturday won an
interesting game for Tech, 7-2. The
score stood 10 in favor of the home
team until the eighth when things
began to happen. Hinkle singled and
stole second. Hoerner followed with
another and also stole the second
bag. Both of these men scored when
l.. Bell shot a daisy cutter through
second base that was good for one
bag. Bell stole second and scored on
Corners hit. Germer then stole sec
ond and made third safely on pass
ed ball. Here occurred very pretty
squeeze play. Germer started for
home as the ball was pitched and
Fortna who was at bat laid down a
pretty bunt along the first base line.
The sphere reached the catcher just
too late to nail Germer and Fortna
arrived safely at first before the
ball. 1t was mighty nifty play.
Right there the Tech batters ham
mered the Mount Union twirler for
hit after hit and this did not stop
until Tech had seven runs and u lead
of five.
The Tech nine claims that Mount
Union was the hardest proposition
encountered this season. Fetterhoff,
the home team hurler, held Tech
scoreless in a well-pitched game
throughout seven innings. But he was
fuond in the eighth and hammered
numerically. Loose fielding in the
inf1eld gave him q serious handicap.
Germer, Tech twirler, pitched a
good game and allowed but seven
hits. He might have had a shutout
were it not for two muffed flies IN
the outfield that counted for scores

Can DR.. Roller Repeat
His Defeat of Draak
Here on the End of June ?

1t is up to Tommy Draak, the Bel
gian-Netherlands graphing cham
pion, to show the Harrisburg fans
whether DR.. B. f. Roller, great physi-
cian-athlete, dropped him twice to the
mat last Tuesday night by accident
or otherwise. Draak is firm in his
conviction that the Doctor was lucky
and can't repeat the trick.
The two men will meet again in
this city one week from tomorrow
night in the Chestnut Street Audi
torium in another show. which will
be under the promotion of Maxwell
Baumann.
The wrestling fans who witnessed
the match between Draak and Roller
in the Chestnut Street Auditorium last
Tuesday night. are still eloquent
about the attraction and the next
meeting of the men is the talk of the
town. Draak will be welcomed here
knows when he is licked. and Roller
will be acclaimed as the man who
brought back clean sport to Harris
burg.
According to Baumann, Roller. al
though he always keeps himself in the
best of condition. is really training
for his match, for the clever physi-
clan must defend his reputation this
time. He doesn't want Draak to turn
tho tables. He wants to show
Tommy" that he is not an accident
wrestler, but really Draak's superior.
Draak meets John Peterson tonight
in Grand Rapids. Mich. in fight to
the finish at catch s-catch-can style.
After Peterson, Roller is his next
scheduled opponent.

The West End baseball team opened
their Saturday season with the Mid

scored nine runs it was seen that the
Middletown club was completely out

patrons the many twilight stars pres

substituted for Middletown. This COM
blnatlon of players made West End
hustle all the way to win by a score of
4 to j. Before the Middletown game
was called Embick. the Wss- End
clouter, had long home run and Il
slashing single to his credit.
Lefty Challenger started again st
Middletown. but was replaced by Tim
Euker in the other game. Tim is be-
coming very reliable pitcher and the
Enders expect to use him in many of
their twilight game. Cocklin. the
youthful catcher. is the fastest in the
league, this being his first season. He
has very bright prospects.

Superb Pitching of Alcorn
Stages Comeback For
Great Victory, 9-8

Hummelstown Chemical Fire
Company defeated Lebanon Beth

by score of 9-S. The real feature
of the entire game was the superb
pitching of Alcorn after his oppon-
ents hit him for five safeties and
five runs in the first inning. He
came back strong and allowed only
six hits in eight innings for a total
of only three runs, which was scored
in the second inning on three hits.
After this inning they never saw the
strike. Humme elstown got busy in
the second inning and scored three
runs and came back in the third and
pulled Alcorn to the top of the pile
with the count of 9-S and from that
time on there was a brand of ball
played at Hummelstown that was
never seen before. The work of the
infield was great. Bordner. who got
a hot one from "Hobey" Light, the

was allowed to remain undiSturbed
until such time as he chose to arise.
A maid in nearby residence along
about 8 o'clock on Sunday afternoon
noticed that the light in his room
had been burning all day and she
made inquiry as to whether or not
the occupants of the house were at
home. When attention was called
to the burning light the head
of the household called Mr.. Romls,
repeating the call several times. Ke-
ceiving no response he went to the
room, opened the door and found the
body lying on the floor.
Family Is Notified
A physician was called at once and
said the young man had been dead
for several hours. Word Immediately
was sent to Federal Judge Charles
B. Wilmer, an uncle. at Sunbury,
and he in turn notified the young
mans father, c. l. Romig, who
fastened to He. "isburg by automo-
bile. Coroner Eckinger was notified
and ascribed heart disease, super
induced by indigestion. to have been
the cause of death. The body was
removed to the Mauk undertaking
rooms at Sixth and kelker streets,
where it was prepared for burial.
Genuine sorrow was expressed IN
many quarters during last evening
and to-day when the news of the
sudden going out of this young re-
porter became known. He had been
a member of the reportorial staff for
two years, being assigned to the work
of reporting public meetings, re-
ligious gatherings. Federal and alder
manic courts, coroner's department,
war work and since the opening of
the Penn-Harris hotel had covered
the news of the big hotel.
For a year he had been in charge
of the church department of the
Telegraph and frequently, because
of his musical ability and undaunt-
ed enthusiasm, had been given the
important assignment of covering
concerts and recitals. his last work
in this direction having been the
Courboin organ recital, in Bethle-
hori Lutheran church. His energy
was almost limitless and he was
altogether without selfishness in the
pursuit of his calling. Many persons
who spoke in sorrow when told of
his death to-day referred to his good
nature. his cleanness of thought and
his wholly unselfish makeup. He was
every ready to give without stint his
time and energy to any good cause
that appealed to his sense of worth
mess. He was particularly good in
working up human interest stories
