HARRISBURG BALL CLUB BLAZES
WAY TO SUCCESS FOR MINORS
Good Brand of Baseball and Decent Salaries Please Fans and
Satisfy Players, Proving Fallacy of Early Wails.
Boston Braves' Real Test hi Phil Series.
Two months ago club owners In tho minor leagues wefo crying about tho
hard limes, nnd declared thnt thoy would closo up their Rates If tho National
Commission did not como to their nld. They blamed tho major leagues and the
Independent Federal Lcaguo for tlieli troubles. At that time an nruc.e
printed In these columns in which blame for tho minor league troubles was
placed on the short-sightedness of tho minor league magnates themselves, wllo,
Instead of Incrcnslng their salaries In proportion with tho majors', during tho
hard times had cut the salary limit and. In many instances, raised tho prlco of
admission.
Lower Class of Ball Hurt Minor Leagues
It was pointed out at that tlmo that baseball fans all over tho country were
alike, Alt the talk of record salaries In tho major leagues had stirred tho fans
up so much that they wanted to sco a higher class of players. But, Instead of
that, thoy saw their good players go to other leagues uccauso nicy iuuUi
ntnv fnr Ihn iiinitll nnlnrlrs offered.
Tho Trlstato League was ono of hoso which cut tho salaries to such an
extent that tho players could make moro money Independently, nnd by holding
a business position at tho same tlmo. It was also stated that tho Trlslnto
League could bo made a paying proposition with a Bllghtly reconstructed circuit
and by giving the fans a. better brand of ball.
.
Hnrrisburg Disproves Predictions of CrltlcB
Tho great drawing ability of tho HarrUburg club In tho International
League Is tho best proof that can bo offered that theso contentions wcro right.
In Newark tho Bamo team failed to draw after tho Federal Lcaguo had placed
a club In tho samo city. Tho fans nro not supporting tho Federal League team
well, but they have not Ignored tho Feds entirely, as thoy did tho Internationals.
Whtjn tho Newark franchise nna transferred to Harrlsburg, local fans who
had followed tho fortunes of tho Trlstato League with great Interest declared
that It was a great mistake, becauso Harrlsburg had failed to support tho Trl
stato League.
But as soon ns tho fans In Harrlsburg realized that they wcro to be given
a higher grade of baseball, for tho samo admission, Interest was revived, nnd
Harrlsburg Is now supporting a Class AA team In better stylo than any other
city in tho International League.
Players Themselves ProBt by Transfer
Tho players, who had thrown away game after gamo at Newark becauso
they lost Interest playing to empty stands, seemed to bo inspired by tho enthu
siasm of tho Harrlsburg fans, and two weeks after tho team was snitched from
Newark to tho capital city, a winning streak was started, which has carried tho
team from seventh to fourth place, and at tho present tlmo thcro Is not a team
in tho league playing ns well ns Harrlsburg.
Without Handicap Hnrrlsburg Would Hnve Been in Running
Harrlsburg entered tho International Leaguo on July 2, and after breaking
oven until July 19, a. winning streak was started, and tho Indians havo captured
17 out of tho last 24 games plnycd, half of which havo been played on tho road.
Since entering the International Leaguo Harrlsburg has won 22 games and lost
12. If tho Pennsylvania capital city bad been in tno leaguo irom mo start or
tho season, or had not been handicapped by Newark's poor start, tho team would
probably bo battling for first placo with Providence and Buffalo.
As It stands, Harrlsburg has no chnnco for tho ptfnnnnt, but tho team Is
drawing better than any other In tho circuit, and tho splendid support of tho
fans proves conclusively that eastern Pennsylvania is not dead, so far as minor
league ball is concerned.
Braves In Better Position Than at This Time Last Year
For tho benefit of those who declaro that tho Braves havo but llttlo chanco
to win the National League pennant, the following figures may prove Interesting:
On August 2 of last year tho Giants were leading tho league, with 52 vic
tories and 35 defeats, or a percentage of .598. The Cubs wero in Bccond place,
whllo the Cards Wero third, both well over tho .500 mark. The Braves at that
time had won 44 and lost 45 games, with a perccntngo of .494.
Tho Btandlng on August 2 of this year found tho Phillies leading tho lcaguo,
with 51 victories and 40 defeats, or a perccntngo of .SCO, whllo tho Braves wcro
in fourth place again, with 47 victories and 46 defeats.
Davis and Hughes Take Place of Bill James,
It must be admitted that tho National Leaguo Is better balanced this season
and that four of tho clubs aro not loafing as thoy wore at this tlmo a year ago,
but it must also be agreed that tho Braves are stronger than they wero in 1914,
notwithstanding tho fact that Bill James has been almost useless. Tho great
improvement of Davis and tho acquisition of Itngan and Hughes, two dependable
twirlers, havo more than mado up for tho loss of James, now that tho rest of
the team hosfound its stride.
f
Phillies Must Beat Boston in Next Series
Miller Hugglns, of tho Cardinals, says: "I am playing only to finish ahead
of tho Braves, becauso If I do thnt we will win tho pennant." Hugglns has sized up
tho National League rnco correctly In that ono sentence, and It is safo to say
that Pat Moran agrees thoroughly with him. Last year the Braves practically
won the pennant by capturing seven out of eight games from the Giants late
In the season. This year tho Braves atill have eight games to play with tho
Phillies, and It is upon tho result of theso that the pennant chances of each
team hinge.
Tho Phillies' greatest and only chance lies In Alexander, and as the king of
pitchers has had Boston at his mercy for two years, there Is much hope for tho
Phillies, regardless of the lack of confidence among local fans since the present
slump In the West.
Only Six Batsmen in League Can "Find" Alexander
There is no better evidence of the wonderful pitching of Alexander the Great
than to cite Just what batsmen have been able to connect with the shoots of the
Phllly star. There aro only six National League players who havo hit safely
against Alexander in every game they have faced him. Tho six are Fltzpatrick
and Evers, of Boston; Max Carey, of Pittsburgh; Zach "Wheat, of Brooklyn, and
Herzoe and Wndo Ktllefer, of the Reds.
Of this group, Fltzpatrick has been the most consistent, ho having faced
Alexander in four games, in which ho made seven hits. Kvers has batted
against Alexander In only two games, making a single hit In each, so he cap
hardly be considered.
Seldom has a pitcher been so effective against all hitters, and it is a safe bet
that none of these players hit Bafely in their next appearance against the king
of pitchers. That is Just the difference between Alexander and the average
pitcher, who must have opponents picked for him.
Pogue, Illinois Star, Probably Lost to Football
Harold Pogue, the brilliant halfback, of the champion University of Illinois
eleven, probably will leavo college because of falling eyesight, and even if he
returns, it is not likely he will bo available for football in the fall, Pogue was
the sensation of the West last fall, and within another year, under Bob Zuppke,
II was freely predicted that the West would forget the palmy days of Eckeraall,
Heston, Garrels, etc. But the Illinois star is paying the penalty of ignoring his
physician's orders.
'Although it was not generally known, Poguo's eyes were in euch poor con
dition last fall that he wore eyeglasses when not In public, and he was ordered
to wear them throughout the summer, He went to a summer camp for boys In
the woods of Wisconsin in June and failed to take glasses with him. This care
lessness caused Pogue to suffer so from the glare of the sun that he almost went
blind. He is now under the care of a specialist, who declares that Pogue can
hardly return to college, aa It may destroy his sight entirely.
Kid Ptrjcker, a Jocal boy, who formerly played in the Northeast League,
pitched a no-hit game for Chambersburg against Gettysburg in the Blue Ridge
League yesterday. Strieker won his game, 1 to 0. He walked seven men, but
always had his strike-out ball working when Gettysburg threatened, 10 of Ira
Flank's team going out on strikes.
Charles Breoklebrede, of the St. Charles Natatorlum Club, of St. Louis, is a
swimming prodigy, and will have to be considered when the next ten-mile A. A.
V swimming championship is held. In a recent rtve-mlla race he was beaten
only 30 seconds in actual time by the (scratch roan and former national champion,
Chauncey Heath.

THE MEXICAN MARVEL
Ramon Oliveras Has Some Trouble With English But He Is in
Fair Condition And He, Can Play Ball Cards He Knows a
Little, but the Ca-rap Game He Will Learn Manana.
By CHARLES E. VAN LOAN
The World's MobI Famous Writer of Baseball Fiction.
Joey Bostwlck, scout for the Orphans,
discovers a marvelous second bnso player
down South, Ftor obvious reasons lluil
Huckncr Is Ineligible, but If he can be
Eaised ort as a Mexican his color will not
e ngalnst him Kelly, tho manager. Is
suspicious of the trick,
Duckner Is smooth, knows Spanish nnd Is
willing, The scheme Is worked, and at the
beginning of the training season Kelly
sends Carter, another scout, to make the
discovery of Hamon Olheras, who Is Uuck
ner. Hamon nrrUes In Mexican costume.
(Copyright, 1012, by Street & Smith)
"What do you know about that!" he
thought. "He's gono and mado himself
up for tho parti"
Scnor Oliveras hesitated and looked
about him, as If puzzled. Kelly strodo
out from tho group and held out his hand.
"Aha!" exclaimed OUveraB, dropping
both suitcases, also his cane and um
brella, and removing hla hat to show his
wavy black hnlr. "Aha! It mus' bo this
Is the Scnor Kally? SI! I greet you,
senor! I am please'. I am mos' delighted
to meet you!"
To savo his llfo Kelly could not repress
a grin, but ho, too, removed his hat and
grasped tho hand of Sonor Oliveras.
"Put her there!" ho said. Then, under
his breath: "Do, you're Immense! Im
henae!" "The senor will pardon my English,"
said Oliveras. 'I do not yet speak him so
good."
, "You're doing fine, old top!" aatd Kelly.
"Come and meet tho push."
Introductions followed, and to each
newspaper cot respondent Oliveras made a
low bow.
"Yes, yes," ho said; "I know what he
Is this power of tho press. I have In
my portmanteau some vcr' excellent
cigars of my country. We shall bo good
friends, no?"
"Not no yes!" said tho newspaper men.
And they gathered around this most
amazing recruit and piled him with ques
tlona. Oliveras answered them all smil
ingly, showing his white teeth.
"In the firs' place, senores," ho said, "I
shall not say I am ready to play ah tho
game of my life. That Is customary, no?
I shall not say that. I mus' only do the
best I know. A photograph? I regret I
havo not any. You have a camera?
B tie no! Ooodl"
Then Kelly and. Oliveras again clasped
hands for tho edlllcatlon of the far-away
fans In the home town, and, this formal
rite being completed, the procession start
ed for the hotel, Kelly and the new re
cruit walking slightly In advance of the
others.
"Great stuff!" said Hank Marston, rep
resentative of the Morning Flashlight.
"This fellow will be good for a column a
day. It won't have to be the old stuff
this year."
"Painfully polite, nln't he?" said Pnll
Hawes, of the Evening Boom. "I wonder
it he'll take off his cap before ha tags a
man out at second?"
"He'll get over that," said Johnny Mc-
Shane, of tho Dally Breeze. "All Mexi
cans are polite the high-grade ones. And
get onto the cut of his clothes! I'll bet
they were made In the City of Mexico."
Opt in front Kelly and Oliveras were
talking In low tones.
"How 'bout It, Mr, Kelly?" asked Senor
Hamon. with, a grin. "Did I get by with
them newspaper reporters?"
"You bet your Ufa you got by!" said
the manager. "Where'd you get it all?"
"Hanging around those Mexican swells
at the hotel In El Paso," said the recruit.
"Play actln' comes easy to me; I used
to be on the stage."
"That's how you happened to dress the
part," said Kelly, with a sldewlse glance
at the cutaway coat.
"Yes, Indeedyl" said Oliveras quickly,
"That was a tight good notion. These
rags will coat you 10 bucks. A tailor In
Juarex mads 'em for me out of a 10-year-old
fashion plate."
"It's worth It," saia Kelly. "And now
you listen to me a minute. I'm going to
tell you something I don't want you to
forget You can pull all this high-toned
Mexican bunk around here that you want
to spring It on the reporters and on the
ball players but don't come any of it
with me, savvy? You ain't a Mexican to
me, understand?"
"Yes, sir. Mr. Kelly, yes, sir." said Oli
veras humbly. "But at first I've got to
do a certain amount of It to get by. Ones
I get my spangles oo I won't be actln'
no more. "I'll bo workln' at my tradol
Yes, sir, I know my place."
"Keep It, then," said Kclley. "What
kind of shape nro you In?" '
"Fair," said Oliveras. "I been work
ing right along."
When Senor Ramon Ollvoras mado his
first nppoaranco on tho field with the
othor recruits, overy newspaper man was
present, and tho press squad grunted
with amazement as tho Moxican marvel
unllmbered himself. .
"Whero did ho get It? Where did
ho get It?" said Johnny McShane. "Why,
he goes after a ground ball as If ho'd
never done anything else all his life,
and look at tho way ho whips 'em over
to first!"
Oliveras was, tnded, a marvel. Light
ning fnst on his feet, possessed of two
good hands, seeming to field a ball by
Instinct, and getting It away from him
llko a flash, ho mado a tremendous Im
pression upon tho manager, as wpll as
upon all others who watched him at work.
At batting practice, he stood up to tho
plate well, choked his bat short, and
stepped In with a powerful, choppy swing,
and, after a hit, was off for first baso llko
a 10-second man.
By the tlmo the blase regulars arrived,
some of them fat and lazy, others lean
and nervous, Oliveras was the sensation
of tho camp. IHs bearing, when pre
sented to the real big leaguers, was
j'S.""-' .."'"'AfjiifiW1 . &w
"Put her there," he said.
charming in its deference, and he fairly
took "Scrappy" Kernohan's breath away
with his Intimate knowledge of that great
mans' batting -record.
"Whateyer he is as a ballplayer," said
Scrappy, on his first evening at the camp,
"you got to hand it to him for knowing
things. Why, he had my record down
pat for Ave years back) Some of the
time you can't understand him, of course,
but I will say tor him that he's a well
read guy!"
After all, ability to play the game Is
the open sesame to the heart of a pro
fessional ballplayer, and when the regu
lars had watched Oliveras for a few days
they decided that "he belonged," as
IJRrry Watson put it.
"Of course,' he qualified, "I don't like
them deep brunettes, on principle, but I
suppose he's a gentleman in his own
country, at that. Last night he was
tellln' me all about how they grab rub
ber out of trees."
"Scrappy" Kernohan, the centre fielder;
Frank Browning, the pitcher; Mike
"Walih, the first baseman; and "Pickles"
Bagby, the shortstop, were first to dis
cover that Senor Oliveras played a very
strong and discriminating hand of draw
poker; but, oddly enough, Oliveras could
not be lured into the crap gam&. Though
they explained tho rules of tho fascinat
ing pastime many times, nnd nt great
length, Oliveras shook his head hopo
lcssly. "Cards I know a little, si," ho said,
dcprecatlngly; "but theso ca-rap gome
with tho dlco, I do not understand him."
"Well, if you're going to bo a big
leaguer," said Bagby, "you'll havo to
learn. Craps Is tho ballplayer's national
pastlmo; didn't you know that?"
"Then 1 will learn him some day," said
Senor Oliveras, "but not now. Manana."
"What Is that manyana thlng7" de
manded Pickles, "You hear It all over
down heic."
"Oh," said Oliveras, "she mean the
iamo as 'tomorrow.' 'By and by,' no7
In Mexico everything It Is manana."
But thcro was no "manana" in the way
Scnor Hamon played baseball, and tho
other recruit Inflelders despaired when
they watched him flashing about tbo
keystone sack. When tho regulars began
their work as a team, Ollvoras was
dropped Into tho line-up, and the way
ho fell In with tho working of tho sea
soned machine gladdened tilck Kelly's
heart. Even old Mush McKnlght, who
had been prophesying a streak of yellow,
changed his mind when ho say how
Oliveras went after sliding baso runners.
"What do you think of him. Mush?"
asked Kelly ono afternoon, ns they wero
trudging bark to tho hotel.
"Tho best second baseman I've seen In
a dog's ago!" said tho old-timer, prompt
ly. "If he's got a weakness. I don't know
what It Is I was afraid at first ho
might havo a streak, but I'vo changed
my mind. You tako my tip, and send
Bill Carter down Into New Mexico nnd
Arizona; you might find another ono
llko him."
"No," said Kelly, smiling to himself,
"I guess thcro ain't any more Just like
him anywhere."
"You never can tell," .said Mush,
oracularly.
"I can. if you can't," said Kelly. "But
at that he's a wonderful ballplayer.

FEDS WANT "ALEX,"
COLLINS AND M'INNIS
"If Money Can Get Them, We
Will Have Them," Declares
Gilmore.
ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. . The Federal
Leafhie threatens another raid on organ
ized baseball In the fall, according to the
decision reached here at an Impromptu
meeting of President James A. Gltmore
and other magnates of the organization.
The Independents have eyes on from 12 to
15 players, among whom are J, Franklin
Baker, Eddie Collins, "Stuffy" Mclnnls
and Alexander. "If money can get them,
we will have them with us on the spring
training trips," said President Gilmore.
Baker is spoken of, it Is understood, as
being the logical man to lead the pro
posed team In New York city, which Will
be the only change In the circuit next
year. No verification could be obtained
of the rumor, but there were no attempts
at denials, and the fact that the Feds
have been negotiating with Baker gives It
support. Bt. Louis wants Mclnnls, and
Chicago would spare no money In luring
away Alexander and Eddie Collins. The
Identity of the other stars could not be
learned; but negotiations are understood
to be on with several stars with the Pitts
burgh Nationals and Detroit Americans,
Otto Knabe'a Baltimore Terrapins are
likely to be switched to New York, ac
cording to the rumors following the
gathering here. It s understood that the
Monumental City magnate are not sat
isfied with the returns there and are will
ing to change. Kansas City was reported
as the only ctub making money In the
league at present President Gilmore will
open ofllces shortly In New York city,
and the league's headquarters will here
after be in that city.

his preliminary workouts Tcndler tipped
the beam at 121 pounds, says Glassman.
An endeavor Is being made by a local
