"Jack" Potter and Other Harris

Great Form
Special to The Telegraph
Nassau, Bahamas, March 7.—While
blizzards are raging in the North and
Ilarrisburg is blanketed with snow and
sleet, and all the residue of a belated
■Winter, four Harrisburg boys are do
ing their level best hji this sunny
island, under the flags of two great
nations, to uphold the best traditions
of the Harrisburg Giants on a dia
mond hedged with royal palms, the
giant cotton and other tropical trees.
Up to date in the season's series of
games, the Colonial Giants, on which
team the four Harrisburg boys are
playing, have won ten games to three
for their adversaries, the Victoria
fctars. Snappy play is no name for it.
Their work is fine from start to finish.
All four were members of the aggre
gation organized by Colonel C. W.
Strotliers in Harrisburg and which
has a reputation all over Central
Pennsylvania. Their names are Jack
Potter, John Manning, Rube Jordan
and Ben Randolph. The last two are
pitchers and the first two fielders.
John Jones, another Harrisburg play
er, has been in the hospital since his
arrival on the island. They will re
main here until the 'latter part of
March, when the winter tourists begin
their northward flight. Jack Potter
took a prominent part In a Cakewalk
entertainment at the Hotel Colonial
last night.
Federals Lose Out
in New York Game
Special to The Telegraph
New York. March 7. Organized
baseball scored heavily yesterday in
the struggle with the Federal League
for the services of the players who
completed their tour around the world
early to-day.
The Boston Americans signed Trls
Speaker for two years for SIB,OOO per
year; the Detroit Americans closed a
contract with Sam Crawford and tho
St. Louis Americans kept Pitcher Lev
erenz in line with a considerable raise
in salary.
Although the Federal League mag
nates were in conference with all these
players, they were unable to secure
their services, and the best they could
do with Mike Doolan, of the Philadel
phia Nationals, and Dick Egan, ot
Brooklyn, was to obtain a promise to
consider the propositions made by the
new organization. "Steve" Evans and
' Lee Magee, of the St. Louis Nationals,
were also reported to be comparing
the offers of the two forces.
TECII HIGH LOST OUT
Tech High tossers hadn't a look-in
with Williamsport High at Williams
port last night, losing by a score of
23 to 15. A floor with four pillars
, made good work by Tech Impossible.
Tho use of Y. M. C. A. rules made a
further handicap for Tech. Tittle and
, Beck did good work for Tech, but
Williamsport was too fast and was at

Allentown, Pa., March 7.—lf Trl-
State baseball is not a succ' s in this
town, it will be due to lack of sup
port from the Allentown people. Never
in the history of baseball has there
been such strong boosting, as is now
in evidence.

in the game. At a recent meeting the
members of the local commercial
body decided that no better advertise
ment to the city can be had than
through a successful baseball team.

est musical organizations in the State,
wl l also assist in raising funds, and
will give a dance and concert, the en
tire proceeds to go to the support of
baseball.

most stringent management and It is
certain that the effort to conduct the
national pastime in the cleanest pos
sible way will be fully realized there

| Central high school second team, and
| a picked team from the P. R. R. Y.
j .VI. C. A. league.
j In the Penn line-up will be seven

I substitutes. The second game is a re
sult of a challenger from the high
school tossers who claim they have
[the pick of the scholastic and Inde
pendent teams in this season's stars.

Basketball "Eats"
a Big Inducement
Before the basketball season ends,
several Harrisburg basketball teams
will play McSherrytown.. In this vil
lage, there is a bunch of sport enthu
siasts who will not let anything stand
in the way of their basket) all aggrega
tion. They offer big inducements to
all teams in the way of "eats." Here
is a letter the McSherrytown manage
ment sent to Locust Gap regarding a
game scheduled for next week:
"Dear sir: If yous come down and
play us we will give you $25 and eat
yous or if yous don't want to do that
we will give yous S3O and yous can eat
yourselfs. Bring yure manager along
and we will eat him."
On Thursday next the Hassett tos
sers will play the Locust Gap team,
and it is probable that McSherrytown
will be seen here later. The Locust
Gap team made a favorable impression
while here before the holidays. This
g\me will be of special importance
because of the controversy among in
dependent teams in Central Pennsyl
vania of this class as to which is the
strongest.
