ANOTHER CHAMPION
FOB UNITED STATES
Jay Gould Defeats George F.
Covey in Court Tennis by
Decisive Scores
Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, March 19. —Jay Gould
is court tennis champion of the world.
He defeated George F. Covey three
sets to one at the Racquet Club, yes
terday, thus bringing tho match to a
close in two days' play.
The American champion won four
straight sets on Monday and his three
sets yesterday gives him the victory
by the very one-sided score of seven
Bets to one.
Gould scored 247 points against 170
for Covey, and he won 47 games to 19
for his opponent. It was a most
overwhelming defeat for the British
professional champion, who at the end
readily admitted that lie had been
beaten by a better man, id by an
amateur at that.
The experts who witnessed the play
declare that Gould proved himself to
be the greatest exponent of court ten
nis that ever lived. Covey seemed to
be below his usual form, but that was
probably because of the wonderful
■work of his opponent, who held the
whip hand in every set except one, the
third yesterday, when • the British
champion scored the single victory that
Baved him from a "whitewash" defeat.
The scores yesterday were 6-2, 6-3,
E-6, 6-1.

Don't continually burn the same kind of
coal year after year when it is not giving
you the very .best results.
We have two coal yards. One on the
Reading Railroad and one on the Pennsyl

"RUBE'S" STILL A-TWIRLIW
The former Harrisburg southpaw Is being watched closely by Manager Connie Mack. Indications are that
lis youngster if ho continues to show improvement, will be retained on the Athletic staff as an emergenc man.

ith the Baltimore International League club, but Manager George Cockill will try to have Bressler sent back to
arrisburg in the event of Manager Mack having a surplus of players. Should the lefthander return to the

Within the next two weeks a new

Baron Carl Gromadzlnsky, who died
at New Rochelle of apoplexy a m'onth
ago, were shipped yesterday by par
cel post to his old home In Germany
by his friend, Robert Lesfter.
The package, weighing eight pounds,
cost $1.05 to send and was addressed
to Baron Sondermann at Samter,
Posen. Baron Sondermann purchased

one weak spot this j'ear will be in the
pitcher's box and it will be worse next
year. The Tri-State can only carry a
certain number of men on each team,
but there Is nothing to prevent any
person from carrying on a business in
pitchers. That is what we are going
to do. We will sign up promising
youngsters and place them with lower
class leagues or In the Tri-State if
passible. They will be our property
and when the major league scouts
come along, the future greats will be
furnished by the Harrisburg Company.
Sounds good, eh? It will look better
later on."

Injunction For Boston
Will Keep Feds Away
By Associate J Press
Macon, Ga., March 19. George
Stallings, manager of the Boston Na
tional League baseball club, last night
announced that h % had obtained an
injunction to prevent agents of the
Federal League from having commun
ication with any member of the Bos
ton club.
The Injunction was obtained from
Judge Mathews, of the Superior Court
hero, under provisions of the Georgia,
contract labor law. "If any Federal
League representative comes to Macon
or any point in the State of Georgia
and attempts to get my players away
from me, I'll put him in Jail aa sure
as he gets oft a train," said Stallings.
"The Georgia labor contract law is
explicit on that point. When an em
ployer has signed an employe to a
contract calling for his services for a
stated time, any other employer is
violating the law when he attempts to
get the employe under contract to vio
late that contract with a view to tak
ing employment with another party."

the business manager, Miss Susan
Shaffer. Arrangements were made
for the reception to be given to the
Penn Hall girls after their game here
Saturday afternoon.
