this evening nt Yonah Hall, 2T27 West
Columbia avenue. when Hancock. win
ner Of the American League pennant.
plays Dobson, titleholder of the Ameri-
can League. It has been several sea =
sons since the minor title was contested
for. us the Americans had the exclu .
siye field since the former Industrial
League circuit disbandcd.
The rivalry between the respective
leagues IL decidedly keen. Both clubs
are veteran cage organizations, and
have been playing the game for many
years without lct-up. and that man
aged to continue the game during the
war period as members of the Ameri
can League.
The winner Is matter OF personal
opinion as the players nrc evenly
matched Roth started the year by
failing to live up to their reputation NJ
consistent winners, but as the season
passed by gradually forged to the front
In their respective organizations, ana
nj present are playing the best ball OF
the season. The final score will find the
winners but n few points in front Of
the loser. and as fast game should
draw the largest crowd Of the season,
It was the opinion of many that the
series should be played in Musical Fund
where more spectators could secure al :
mittancc. but it was finally agreed that
as all the games had been contested IN
Yonah Hall the series should be staged
there. Trautwcin Bros, Of 1916 West
Columbia avenue. will present every
player on the winning team with a
fancy vest. In the preliminary Powers,
Wcightman 4 Roscngarten meets st,
James, Of Manayunk.
Germs Game Behind
Germantown is a game behind Cam
den for the Eastern League lead. anc
It appears the followers of these teams
are not satisfied with the cage situation
The league managers awarded thu
Skeeters the game with Trenton whel
the Pottcrs walked off the floor last
Wednesday night, and 1t is difficult tt
see how any other decision could hav'
been reached.
But the fellows who pay tribute tt
the box Office are a peculiar crowd
Germantown fans have criticized Dav'
| l,ennis for the decision. claiming tina
! had Camden lost the suburbanites woul'
| have been on even terms for first place
which is all very true.
The rooters figure IL the Jerseyme

will be tainted and they are openl
advocating n series with Germantow
and Camden. no matter how the rae
ends. Camden fans say that neithc

Prison experts from all parts
Of the world are interested in the
novel prison now partially COM
pleted at Lockport, Ill. The first
unit of the prison has been COM
pleted. 1t is designed to give
the prisoners more 5anitary quar-
tiers, eliminates much of the re-
straint and in many ways brings
the handling of the prisoners
nearer the modern ideas Of pris-
on methods. The units, each de-
signed to hold 24S inmates, are
built in circular form. The pris-
oners' quarters are more like
rooms than barred cells and are
arranged about a circle, all fac
ing an inner court, which is well
lighted. The circular formation
eliminates much of the tempta-
ton to escape and makes possible
the lessening of bars, ratings
and other features of the cd
type of prison.
