Opening Game on Wednesday With
York Will Start a Busy
Season
Harrlsburg fans have two more days
to wait until the shouting begins. On
Wednesday the Tri-State teams move
to the front for a season's chase. Judg
ing by the work of the teams to date
It will be some race.
Most of the teams, including Har
risburg, were lined up to-day for final
practice. Tuesday, the day preceding
the opening, is always devoted to pick
ing our regulars. This will be done
flt Island Park to-morrow. Harrlsburg

task.

ernor John K. Tener is scheduled to
toss out the first ball. Ticket books
ore finding a liberal sale, and baseball
fans are ready to start a boosting game
that will increase in enthusiasm every j
day.
Amateurs' Busy Day;
Many Teams Start
Amateur teams were busy on Satur
day and the games showed baseball
spirit. The young fellows had their
first ideal baseball weather and it was
n good opportunity to size up the fu- j
turo greats.
Inability on the part of the scorers'
makes it impossible to give much in
teresting information. Every available
field in Harrisburg and vicinity was
occupied. The amateurs showed a
pace that indicates a lively season. The
total scores of the various games will
be found in another column.

Central Pennsylvania League
Has Auspicious Opening
Large Crowd on Hand to Boost the Game at New Cumber
land and Hrhspire; Games Were Fast
Prying the lid off the Central Pennsylvania Baseball League season
Saturday was one of the biggest events fans in neighboring towns have
witnessed in many years. New Cumberland and Highspire had the first
chance to celebrate.
It was like a national holiday. Flags were unfurled and any person
who talked anything but baseball was considered a "down and outer." Pa
rades were the order in both towns. Concerts were also held at the baseball
grounds. At New Cumberland the president, F. A. Steese, was on hand to
boost the game.
u. u Th ? secretar >' of th e league, J. M. Donavan, looked after the game at
Highspire where there was another big crowd. The Central Pennsylvania
if.'To. l league was organized to till a long felt want. Next Saturday
Mlddletown ahd Steelton will have opening features.
Highspire Champs
Bumped Steelton :
in Exciting Battle
That old-time "pep" game which is
not decided until the last man is out,
was seen at Highspre on Saturday,
when Steelton A. C. went the first
[route to defeat, score 7 to 6. Steelton
had the game tied up and then let it
[slip slowly out of their hands.
I It was the opening game in the
[Central Pennsylvania baseball league
jand was witnessed by a crowd much
I larger than attended the Tri-State
| games last season. The turnstile
showed that 482 people paid admis
sion to the Highspire baseball field
and the big crowd of rooters included
many Steelton folks and a large rep
resentation of women. Right here it
should be sain that Highspire boasts
of more enthusiastic women baseball
rooters than any town of its size in
the State.
The game started at 3 o'clock, after
the Highspire band, club officials and
players from Steelton and Highspire,
and backers, paraded the principal
thoroughfares. Dr. H. McDanel, an
enthusiastic baseball fan, tossed out
the first ball and Umpire Deckard
called "play."
The game started well for Steelton.
Taylor who has had little chance to
warm up was an easy proposition and
in the second inning he went to the
tall timbers, his arm having played
out. Saylor, who followed, was all to
the "mustard," and while he had some
bumps, this young fellow became
stronger each inning.
It was a great battle for five in
nings during which Highspire man
aged to connect with Biever in several
bunches, pulling out a run and vic
tory. There was some loose playing
on both teams, but errors were not
chalked up unless they were rank.
Players showed speed, and the work
of "Dusty" Rhoades and Saylor was
a feature. The work of each team in
dicated something still better as the
season advances. The score is as fol
lows:

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
Left to right, Roy Balmer, captain of Middletown team, greets Captain
Winfield Geistwhite, of New Cumberland. Band and officials en route to the
baseball grounds after parade through the principal streets. The New Cum
berland band was a big attraction at the game.
New Cumberland Fans
Get First Victory;
Home Runs a Factor
New Cumberland opened the Cen
tral Pennsylvania League season at
home Saturday with victory. Middle
town lost, score 6 to 4.
The game was preceded by a pa
rade and the raising of the pennant
won last year. The New Cumberland
band led fifty automobiles carrying
President F. A. Steese of the league,
the players of both teams, New Cum
berland club officials and influential
backers of the game in New Cumber
land through the principal streets.
The ceremonies at the ball park
were much after the fashion of grown
up league openings. With the band
playing "Under the Double Eagle,"
President Steese run up the pennant.
The large and enthusiastic crowd,
patient with the formalities, was eager
for the umpire's "play ball." furgess
Wilson tossed out the ball. Nine
rounds of gilt edged game followed.
New Cumberland maintained a more
or less comfortable lead. However,
there was no time when a home spec
tator could lean back in his seat and
satisfied as to the final outcome.
Both teams put up a game that needed
' close watchiner.
The box score shows the game in
| detail but it doesn't explain the stimu-
I lus responsible, perhaps, for the high
| percentage of home runs figuring in
the score. Home runs have a money
value with the New Cumberland team.
The batsman who tallies a home run,
or some home runs, draws a dollar
apiece for same. Out of a total of four
home runs made in Saturday's game,
New Cumberland players were cred
ited. or rather paid, for three dollars'
! worth. Three trips did the ball make
| over the "21,000 homes" of the Tele
graph fence ad; three times did the
band blare out, "This Is the Life, This
Is the Life." Read the score:
