Eastern League Basketba'l Is Impossible in Harrisburg There May Be a New Circuit Formed With Six or Eight Good Towns; Plans to Be Taken Up at an Early Date An Eastern league basketball team In Harrisburg is out of the question for several reasons, but the formation of a leaguo here Is believed to be a certainty early next Fall. Harrisburg would have to arrange for a seating capacity of at least 1,500, to make Eastern league basketball a paying enterprise in this city. Furthermore, it is said, there is no likelihood that a vacancy will occur This Man a Samson; Can Lift a Street Car Marion, Ohio, Feb. 28. Walter Hutchinson, the big young pitcher signed by Frank Chance of the New York Americans, will be the strongest twlrler physically In the major leagues the coming season if he still retains the phenomenal strength he displayed here when he was a raw recruit with the Marion Diggers in the Ohio State League club. Hutchinson could lift one end of a street car without much effort, apparently. He also could lift the hind quarters of a horse with the j ease that a blacksmith pick up an ani mal's hoof to shoe it. Edward C. Staiger, a director In the old local Ohio State League club, says he has seen Hutchinson perform both of these feats of strength. "If Rube Hutchinson could ever learn to control his delivery he could be the world's greatest pitcher," Staig er declared. "Jack Taylor's protege | stands six feet and one inch. He's a i blacksmith by trade and strong as an ! ox. When he played with Marion he j was more verdant than paris green, but mighty proud of his strength. The I boys used to kid him about it and get j j him to lifting. That's how he happen-1 ied to life one end of a street car, j standing out on a siding at the ball; park one day. I saw him take a horse j at the fire department and life it clear ! up so it almost stood on his head. | "Rube Hutchinson has a world of I speed and curves with it. If he ever | gets control he'll burn up the Ameri -1 can League." | Hassett Boys Won; Result Is Disputed < >fficial records of last night's game between the Hassett five and the Alt. Washington Lyceum tossers, of Pitts burgh, show a score of 32 to 32. This result was vigorously questioned by Manager Burke, of the Pittsburgh team, who says the referee blew his whistle to close the game before the final Hassett goal was tossed by Sour bier, which would have made the score 32 to 30, in favor ol' Pittsburgh. Manager Burke went home much displeased following an offer to play the game over on any neutral floor for a purse varying from SSO to SIOO, with an Eastern League official as rel'eree. The timekeeper denies that he blew the whistle on the final goal. The Forney Grammar School girls played a remarkable game, winning from the Lincoln Grammar girls; score. 13 to 12.
