No regrets are being expressed. While there are some disappointments, the one general opinion prevails that the Athletics are a bunch of real baseball players. Hero is the way Tom Ter rell, sporting writer, of Cleveland, tells about the recent victory of the Athletics over the Naps: "When a set of baseball players im prove upon tho generally accepted method of playing our national game, what chance has the opposition for victory? Echo answers 'None.' 'The Athletics elaborated upon the style of play exhibited in all other cities in the country and defeated the Naps in the second game of the series, 6 to 4. •' 'They're not human.' That ex pression from one of the disgruntled spectators crystallized the opinion of all of the other spectators, and the Naps, too. "The state the bald facts, the Ath letics clustered hits on 'Rip' Hager man in the fifth and seventh innings for five runs, while Bob Shawkey, aided and abetted by perfect fielding, refused to let the Naps gather more than four. "But Shawkey was merely an inci dent in the succession of events which brought victory to Mack's champions —yes, one might say, a minor inci dent. "Who couldn't win a ball game when Eddie Collins makes three, or four plays that no other human being could make, and when Jack Berry does the same, and Stuffy Mclnnes the same and Frank Baker the same, and Jimmy the same? "Why, if the truth were known, a wooden-armed pitcher could win games for that cluster of brilliants. The Naps at least harbor such an impression.' "American League pennant races would be much more interesting if a pennant were awarded to the Ath letics at the start and the other clubs were then allowed to compete for an other pennant. There's as much dif ference between the champions and most other league clubs as there 1b between a major and a class A club." "PET"' YOUNG IS SOLI) "Pep" Young, of Philadelphia, sec ond baseman of the Sacramento Coast League club and former shortstop of the Harrisburg Tri-State team, was yesterday sold to the Detroit Ameri cans for a cash consideration and a player.

COCKILL'S CREW CLEANS UP TIGERS Move Over Into Reading For Two Battles and Booster Day; Home Monday By "Ump" George Cockill and his crusaders moved over Into Reading to-day after having made a clean-up on the Jersey shores. The second game was cap tured from the Tigers yesterday, score 2 to 1. John Fox, who saved the day for the Ponies on Wednesday, was on the mound for Harrisburg. Morgan was the fiinger for the Ben gals and had a shade the better of the ironworker. Timely wallops were mostly responsible for Harrisburg'a runs. Emerson, Keyes and McCarthy were the willow wlelders. Costly er rors also figured In the victory. For two days Cocklll's crew will be entertained at Reading. Booster day was observed to-day and the pro gram called for a parade and a big celebration. A second day program I will be observed to-morrow. Reports I say a large number of tickets have | been sold. A marvelous catch by Foster off Fox's bat in the ninth was the real noteworthy feature of the engage- I ment, although Whalen and Cruik shank pulled off some plays worthy of meritorious mention. Fox was invin cible in the pinches and was backed up in flawless style. Neither clan was able to count a run until the fifth, when the Fi>s terites got under way for one tally. Williams, first hand up In this round, clouted out a single and moved, down to second when Morgan came across with a neat sacrifice. Poland drove out a scorching one-base blow and Williams raced over the gum on the crash. Harrisburg evened up the score In the sixth. With one out Keyes doubled and took third on Hammond's error of Crist's grounder and scored on a wild pitch. Harrisburg sent over the win ning run in the ninth. Miller was safe on an error by Hammond, took sec ond when McCarthy drew a pass and scored on a single by Emerson. The score: HARRISBURG AB. R. H. O. A. E.
