PHONE B't RAIDERS FACING HARD WEEK END Probably the hardest job the Harrystown Raiders will have on. their hands this season, will bo over this coining week end when they travel to Mont Alto, on Saturday to clash with the team of that place and on Sunday go to Winchester, to meet the Athletics of that town, one of the fastest semi-pro teams on the field today. The Raiders will be given the acid test in both of these games and followers of the Red and White, who are planning to travel alous with the club should see two of the hardest fought contests of the year.

Manager Baker is working his team hard this week in preparation for these games and judging from the brand of ball the Harrys- tovvners flashed last Sunday, when they downed the strong Ilagerstowu Blue Sox in a ten inning contest at the stadium by a. to 7 count, they should be primed for the battles of their lives. Pennsylvanians Strong In meeting the Mt. AHo team, the Raiders are going against a team which is. composed mostly of former Blue Ridge League, and college i players and a team that is-hard to whip ou their own diamond.

who hurled for Wayuesboro several years ago in the Blue Ridge League do(-s the pitching for the Pennsylvanians, and if this fellow is sent at the Raiders, the locals are going to find a rough road to travel. It will be remembered that last year the Blue Sox were the only team out of this neck of the woods that went to Pennsylvania and handed the Mont Alto boys a setback. Manager Raker is still undecided as to whom he will start on the mound for the Raiders, but it in THOMAS BLANKS DETR01TERS 3 TO 0 Chicago, April 29 Thomas, after being of pz-actically no use to the White Sox for an entire year, returned to his old form this afternoon and blanked the Detroit Tigers, tho Sox winning 3 to 0.

Now that the low cost of golfing has been figured out by the Sheffield and Tuscumbla golfers, a suggestion for lower scores is in order.

"The Pauper's Country That's the official name has been formed with a nine hole course, a borrowed clubhouse and a life membership foe of 60 cents. W. 1,, Foard. of Sheffield, president, has solved the upkeep question by assigning two members of the club to each of the greens, which they are to keep in soort condition without assistance. Knickers are barred and not more than three clubs are allowed a player.

A fourth or fifth club, or possibly a seventh, may be used by paying a line of seven to 2l cents, de- ponding on the club. Numbers' arc taboo on the soil course, and the holes arc named instead of numbered. They are in ordor: "Coolidge's Pocket," "Hoover's Veto," "Poverty Knob," "Poisoned Liquor," "Potter's Field," "Government "Soldier's Bonus," "Farm Relief," and "'Suicide Pact." The E. M. Waite stall starting- gates, which are being used this year at Belmont Park, N.

Havre De Grace aiu' uirei, will see service during, the 0 'erstown Fair Association's live-day spring meeting, beginning May 12.. In addition to making this important announcement today, Race Secretary Edward J. Breunan stated that Edward S. (Long Taw) Welter, who dispatched the fields last year at Hagerstown would again handle that important position. Welter, according to horsemen, who saw him perform the past winter at Oriental Park, Cuba, is a much better starter than a year ago.

If such is the case, then visitors to Hagerstown are going to see near perfect starts for Welter did great work last year. The decision to use the Waite stall gates meets with the approval of every horseman and race rider. The Waite gate which is the most up-to-date of its kind now being used in America, has been greatly remodeled since last year and Starter Welter should not experience any difficulty in getting his fields aligned. General Manager Walter D. Will- sou has had the Hagerstown plant all dolled up for the forthcoming meeting.

There are scores of horses already in training there and if good weather exists throughout the meeting, new attendance records will likely result, us the session follows on the heels of the present Pimlico racing.

Whitney's hopes of winning the $50,000 Preakness here May 9, none too bright with the condition of Equipoise doubtful and Mrs. Payne Whitney's Three Stars showing brilliant workouts, received another blow today when Hideaway failed to run in the money in the Towsou Purse.

HOFFMAN-CHEVIES MEET STRONG TEAM This Sunday, May 3, the Hoffman Chevies baseball team vail travel to Winchester, to meet the strong Co. I team of that town. The Chevies are out for revenge for the double licking handed them last season by this team on the Virginia field.

To elate the Chevies are undefeated and are anxious to keep a clean slate for the year, but will have to. show a real brand of ball in order to take the Virginians. Winchester boasts of two of the finest twirlers in semi-pro ball In this section in Heed Lunsford, a right hander. and Lefty Artz, a portsider, and just the Chevies can do against such pitching remains to be seen. Manager Day has not as yet announced his starting line-up but there probably will be some changes made in the outfield.

All of the pitchers are in good shape and are ready to go the full route. If the weather turns out to be warm, Lefty Smith will probably get the assignment as always shows up to better advantage on a hot day. However, Barnes and Powers are both ready arid are sure to give the Southerners plenty of trouble should they get the call. Minnick and Berger have shown well this year and can be expected to give a good account of themselves should they be called on, as both made excellent showings against this club last year. Practice will be held both Thursday and Friday evenings on the country club field and all members are expected to be present.

All members are asked to meet at the Hoffman Chevrolet Parts Dept. no later than 12 o'clock Sunday from where they will leave Winchester. DEATH CALLS JIMMcALEER Fourth Noted Basebal Figure To Pass Along In Little Over Month's Time Ybmigstown, 0., April 29, Death today ended the career of another baseball leader, James Ft. (Jimmy) McAleer. Gtj, one of the organizers of the American leader, former owners of the Boston Red Sox, and former manager of the St.

Louis and Washington American League clubs. Starting his major baseball career with Cleveland, McAleer was regarded as one of the fastest outfielders the major leagues ever produced. Leaving Cleveland, he became manager of the Browns for nine years and later managed the Senators for two years. About 1910 he became the big stockholder of the Boston Red Sox. After differences with Ban Johnson, then president of Uie American League, he sold his holdings and came to Youugstown.

where he lived in retirement. Ke was president and manager of the Red Sox when they won t'ne league pennant. Great Outfielder Known as one of the greatest outfielders of all times, it was McAleer, back in the 90's, who was the first outfielder to chase a long fly ball without keeping an eye on it while he was running. McAleer, once he saw a bail sailing up to go over his head, would estimate with uncanny accuracy where it was going and he would race with, all his speed to that spot, not looking backward over his shoulder. Almost invariably this great player was waiting for the ball ahead of time when it came within distance to catch.

McAleer was the fourth important figure in. big league baseball to die within a little over a month. All were Ohioaus. The others were Ban Johnson, E. S.

Barnard, president of the American League, and August "Garry" Hermann, former chairman of the extinct National Baseball Commission and former owner of the Cincinnati Reds.

Far back in seventh and eighth places were the co-favorites, Tem- narchus and Portlaw, three to one in the betting.
