              Twilight League
First Game Friday
Evening, May 13
At a meeting of the Baseball Com-mittee
on Thursday evening, it was
decided that the first game in the Twilight
League will be played on Friday evening,
May 13, game to be called at 6:00 o'clock.
In this contest the "Owls" as managed
by "Johnny " Gates will be pitted against
the "Polly " Henry's aggregation, the
"Bulldogs. " Each team may well boast
of its chances for success for each presents
on paper at least , a formidable appear-ance.
On Monday evening, May 16, the other
two teams will grapple in mortal com-bat.
Lester Smith, better known as
"Shmitty" is priming his crew, the "Colts"
to take the measure of the "Eagles" led by
John ("Mac") Mclnerney. Each team
seems "rarin '-to-go" and quite an aus-picious
opening is anticipated.
Each manager has a list of players whom
he will use during the succeeding three or
four weeks. At the expiration of this
period final adjustments will be made and
the four teams placed as nearly as possible
on an equality of playing strength. With
the lineups as then arranged each team
will have to go through the season making
only such substitutions and changes as
may be permitted by the rttjes:
Due to certain unavoidable circum-stances
an organization has not yet been
affected nor have the rules and regulations,
under which the league is to operate, been
devised. These questions will however be
taken care of in good time so that no
handicap or confusion will result thereby.
It is hoped fellows who are asked to
play on these various teams will endeavor
to arrange their respective personal affairs
as to permit them to reply affirmatively.
Aside from the fun , pleasure and recrea-tion
accruing to each man who participates
there will be something else of tangible
value to work for. Prizes for most num-ber
ol hits, per man, most number runs,
least number errors, etc., will be offered
besides a grand prize to the team winning
first honors. These prizes will all be
worth while and should prove worth work-ing
for. The list will be published as
soon as completed—keep on the watch
for it.
This baseball project is going to go
over—all that 's needed is a bit of enthusi-astic
response from the community at
large. Every city, town, village and
hamlet in this wide expanse of terra firma,
which Columbus discovered years ago,
knows the peculiar joy and fascination of
hearing the imperial arbiter , His Majesty,
the "Ump, " cry "Play Ball. " Its one of
the most popular expressions ever carved
out . of the English language . We all
listened to it and were thrilled by it when
youngsters and as we travel on through the
years adding gray hairs (o chestnut and
black , we are still thrilled and fascinated
by that alluring something which clings
tighter and close to it.
Last year in this famous little com-munity
we did not hear the familiar cry
for , sad to relate Hershey did not run true
to tradition. Missed indeed it was, if
one can rightly judge by the lamentations
which ascended from all quarters of our
beauti ful village. All round and about us
box scores were being tabulated. Each
of our neighboring villages were repre-sented
by ball teams but all we could hear
was the echo, just the faintest echo, of the
cry "Play Ball" as our neighbors went
forth to conquer on the field of our national
pastime.
However, the sun of hope is looming
bright on the horizon presaging a return
to a period of activity in this great out-door
sport. Hershey will have baseball
this year and once again we shall sit in
the stands to be thrilled by the cry "Play
Ball. " Will you be willing lo contribute
to wear a "booster button , " to attend a
benefit movie, to attend the games? Will
you lend your moral support and <i bit of
financial support? Yes then baseball
for Hershey is assured. Remain on the
alert for developments.
TROLLEY CREW'S NARROW ES-CAPE
Serious accident, and disaster In which
there would have been unquestionably a
long list of fatalities was very narrowly
averted on the lines of the "Tb'onervillo
Trolley " when the "Skipper " but we
must. wait. The entire story will be told
on Tuesday, Miiy 17, at. the Park Theatre
when there will bo shown "The Skipper 's
Narrow Escape, " a two-reel comedy which
will surely please. This picture will be
shown in connection with Buck Jones'
largest picture , 'Two Moons" for the single
admission of .'15 cents. Benefit of baseball
team.
seem to feel the kiss of the breezes carrying
the mingled laughter and happy shouts of
the merry throngs, seem to hear the song
of many bird s, see fields of clover in
fragrant bloom and acres of waving grain
slowly ripening into a golden brown under
the warm caress of a summer's sum. All
of this and more does a May Hop mean to
us and we welcome with joy its coming.
For the occasion the Banjo-Saxo Or-chestra,
of Harrisburg, will furnish the
music. This splendid orchestra hardly
needs comment for its reputation is already
established far and wide. Dance patrons
here, know that this organization , than
which Dauphin County has none better,
will bring the very best from music's realm
for this happy May event. The Banjo-
Saxo Orchestra is a stellar attraction— are
even better now than in former years—
and the Park management is to be con-gratulated
upon successfully arranging to
bring them to Hershey for this occasion.
Dancing will start promptly at 8:15 and
continue till 11:15. Be sure not to miss
this Spring event which will surely prove
a most enjoyable and delightful affair.
Seventh Annual
Park May Hop
on Wed. May 25
Cards are out announcing the seventh
annual May Hop for Hershey Park Pa-vilion.
This delightful attraction will be
held on the evening of Wednesday, May
25.
This is an occasion which has become an
important factor in the activities of the
Park and proves more popular as year
succeeds year. Each May Hop is at-tended
by a large enthusiastic crowd who
through the long winter months have been
looking forward to this gala event.
When another May Hop is announced
there is brought to this entire section the
significance that the spell of winter is
broken and merry 'king summer' will
ascend the throne to reign supreme
through an entire season. It is a clarion
call to come out from the narrow, re-stricted
realms of winter to the freedom,
the purity and goodness of the great out-doors.
It is the turning in lifes highway.
Here we bid goodbye to indoor activities
and st ep out into a realm of boundless
activities. And we picture the days
ahead in which 'warm sunshine, vacation ,
picnics, auto trips, fishing, excursions,
baseball and merry parties combine to lend
an unresistible air of beauty and fascina-tion.
And as we look on this picture we

The Mammoth Booster Meeting, held
by the Hershey Volunteer Fire Company
on last Friday evening was a huge success,
if the size of the crowd and the enthusiasm
manifested may be used as a fair and
sound basis for judging the success of the
occasion. It was probably the largest
Community gathering ever held here and
it was a fortunate circumstance that such
a large and splendid hall , as is the Winter
Dance Hall, was available. Every nook
and corner of the Community sent a large
delegation , and everybod y came early.
Every chair was occupied long before time
for opening the meeting and several hun-dred—
men, of course—were obliged to
stand , which they did with customarv
patience and forebearance.
The parade, headed by the Hershey
Boys Band , was the opening number on
the evening's program. The Hershey
Fire Company, Boy Scouts and Girl
Scouts, carrying appropriate legends and
banners, marched on Choc olate Ave.,
Industrial School Road, Areba Ave. and
Cocoa Ave., disbanding at the hall where
the band rendered several enjoyable
selections before the meeting was opened.
S. D. Clark , ' Committee Chairman,
presided over the meeting. His intro-ductory
remarks were timely and well
delivered. He introduced Mr. Charles F.
Zeigler, who led the large crowd in a sing
in which everybody enthusiastically j oined.
Each one, a paiody, carried a distinct
punch for they were exceedingly well and
cleverly arranged to suit the occasion.
Hon. G. H. Moyer, of Lebanon , was
introduced as the speaker of the evening.
Without announcing any subject he
launched into a vigorous address which
profoundly impressed every hearer and
was richly enjoyed throughout. With all
the eloquence of his voice, the power of his
logic, and the force of many illustrations
and stories he sank into every heart and
mind a realization of the responsibilities
resting upon each citizen , of the obligation
to actively participate in vital community
questions, of the power of consolidated
effort and united purpose. His address
was brimful of the things that count—
enthusiasm, interest , earnestness, confi-dence,
determination—and these virtues
were quickly transferred to every unit in
the vast audience.
No more forceful lecture on Community
questions has ever been heard here and it
may be confidently claimed , on the force
of this lecture alone, the question at issue
was made secure for a speedy enactment,
into the most satisfactory solution.
Following another brief sing, led by
Mr . Zeigler , there was read a report on the
present equipment of the Fire Company.
Refreshments were thereafter served in
Cafeteria style by Messrs. Snavely, Leib-fried
, Leithiser and Gates. Adjournment
followed a brief social session.
Solicitors as announced in last week a
issue of "The Press" are canvassing the
community. It has been demonstrated
that the needs of the .Fire Company are
very urgent. Present equipment will not
suffice. New and additional equipment
is an absolute essential. We want our
Fire Company to stand on a thoroughly
capable and efficient basis. We want
adequate fire protection and we must each
lend a hand. No shirkers, no jerkers , but
everyone of us a worker in this worthy
cause for the welfare of the community.
Do your best when approached by a
member of the solicitors staff . We can
put this thing across. Then let us do so.

Inspired Crowd at
Booster Meeting
Contributions to the fund being raised
by the Hershey Volunteer Fire Company,
for the purpose of securing a fire truck-have
started rolling in. Up until Tuesday
evening with a large number of the
solicitors not heard from, the total had
reached $469.50. Now this is hardly
more than a start considering the distance
we must travel. An- up-to-date, thor-oughly
modern fire truck , one that will
fill the complete needs of the community
cannot be purchased for less than $8,000.

doubt abou t that. Just watch this list
grow and the total rise. Get your name
on next week's list along with the amount
which you honestly think you can and
should give.

BABY WEEK AT STORE
Baby Week , observed at the large De-partment
Store on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday of last week, proved more
interesting than ever. Two hundred and
fifty babies, each under the tender age of
fou r years, were registered in this unusual
event. This number is an increase of one
hundred and fifteen over the number
registered in last year 's Baby Festival.
This fact is significant that the Community
is rapidly expanding and also that the
Hershey Department Store is growing
in the goodwill of the entire countryside.
The drawing was held and the award of
prizes made on Saturday evening. First
prize, five dollars worth of needs for the
baby, was won by Tola L. Goodling;
second prize, two and a half dollars worth
of needs for the baby, won by Hazel
McGill; and third prize, one dollars worth
of baby accessories, won by Margaret
Elaine Slesser.
An interesting feature of the festival was
a playground which had been constructed
for the kiddies enjoyment. Here, in a
space of ample proportions, was found
sand , with shovels and pails, chutc-the-chutes
, see-saws, hobby-horses, tricycles,
kiddie-cars , and many other devices and
means designed to entertain and amuse
(he little ones.
Baby week was an occasion marked by
success. Enthusiasm and interest was
manifested , not alone by the kiddies , but
by many grown-ups as well. This, the
second time the idea has been tried , proved
in every respect far more successful than
the initial festival. It is gratifying to
t hose who planned and made possible this
Baby Week , to note the growth of the idea
and it is expected that this feature will
become a permanent annual event.
