WILL JOURNEY SOUTH
FOR YOUNG PLAYERS
Manager George Cockill Was Here
Yesterday; Brought
Good News
Plans outlined by Manager George
Cockill yesterday during a brief stay
in Harrisburg at an informal confer
ence with a number of Harrisburg of
ficiate, if successful, will give to this
city the liveliest kind of sport.
Manager Cockill will journey to the
South this week for the purpose of
looking over young recruits, and he
will bring some of them to Harris
burg. While every effort will be made
to land another pennant, Manager
Cockill is. of the opinion that a fast
bunch of -youngsters fighting hard all
season, will furnish enough excitement
to keep un baseball enthusiasm.
Cockill said yesterday:
"I am going after youngsters. If I
ciin get a bunch of good boys, who will
play the game, it will mean additional
revenue when the sale and. drafting
season is on. The men I have already
signed 1 believe will make good. I
am pleased over the signing of
"Chick" Emerson, and he is glad to
get back. I will put the young pitch
ers under George Therre, and will
watch the fielding squad myself. I
may have to don a uniform and keep
in the game until the college season:
ends. Cruickshank. who is captain at
Bucknell, cannot get away until that
time. I may try Brink on first base.
When I get back I likely will have
some real good news to hand out"
