/VHITE ROSE BUNCH
WON FIRST HONORS
lanager Heckert Smiles as He
Walks Off With First Scalp
on His Belt
By "UMP"
Wireless signals went wrong for
Jeorge Cockill yesterday. His left
iand also lost its cunning. These are
easons for York taking the opening
'rl-State game from Harrlsburg, score
to 2. Let the other fellows worry,
'he season has just started. The
rorst is yet to come for York.
What happened yesterday figures in
11 regular baseball games. Losing out
'M the only part of the day's pro
ram that went wrong. Everything
lse went off just "too lovely for any
hing." The 3,000 fans certainly did
ate to see- that scalp dangling from
feorge Washington Heckert's belt
,-hen ths battle was over.
It was anybody's fight until the last
nan was out in the ninth inning,
tarring two costly slip-ups. Harris
urg played the best game. Manager
leckert brought with him a carload
f horseshoes and they hung like
pangles all over the York team.
I Mark Adams, the Williamstown
wrier, had the Indian sign working
■ six innings. Early In the seventh
Bpsed wires caused a collision be-
Ben Manager Cockill and Adams in
neffort to get a bunted fly. Adams
bok the count and went out of the
lame. Up to this time this young
fellow was a star. His pitching, lut
ing and llelding was 100 per cent,
erfect.
O'Neil, the Philadelphia left-hander,
ame in without a chance to limber
p. This I>oy did remarkably well and
ad the game tied up in the ninth
•ith two men out. Hopka and Swayne
aohf got a ball to their liking and
ingled. "Rube" Hers hey, the next
»an up, who was an easy proposition
11 afternoon, struck at the lirst ball,
t went sailing toward Coekill at first,
eorge put up his right hand. The
lue had all been washed off the palm
nd the ball slipped out. It was an
asy out at first even at that had
>meone been on the bag. Hershey
ad a clear road. So did Hopka, who
as on third and came home with the
inning run.
"Doc" Milliman, a York veteran,
ad some trouble in holding Harris
urg down. Fielding back of him was
factor. In pinches Milliman was a
•ifle stronger. He carried his share
t luck charms and pulled out of sev
ral bad places in a creditable man
er.
The sensations were all on Harris
urg's side. "Chick" Emerson pulled
r»wn a hit from "Bill" Clay's but that
as labeled for four bases. McCarthj
Iso made an acrobatic catch in the
Khth that would have brought a run.
ork's first two runs were the result
C a trio of singles with a sacrifice
it and stolen base to help. Both were
irned.
A pass, sacrifice and single gave
arrisburg the first run in the third,
dams triple and Bvers* single
rought the next run. The score-

Festival by Nomad
Cycle Club May 13
Nomad Motorcycle Club is to con
duct a festival May 13 in front of their
clubhouse, Thirteenth and Walnut.
Funds will be used in connection with
motorcycle races on the Middletown
track. A parade and concert and mo
tion pictures of motorcycle speed
meets will feature. At a smoker at
the Nomad club Friday an effort will
be made to have the Harrisburg Mo
torcycle club, which will be the guests
of the Nomads, affiliate with them.
The third sociability run will take
place Sunday when forty cyclists will
ride to Lebanon.
SENATORIAL SIFTINGS
To-day's battle at York.
The Teutons minus "Bill" Coughlin
and plus Johnny Castle will be here
to-morrow and Saturday.
It wa sa good game with thrills
and frills.
Perhaps it is too early, but that one
decision at first base when Tom
"Walker called Yale safe gave York
the life that put the White Roses in
the running,
Gohon and Phillips were scheduled
for work at York to-day, with O'Neil
and Adams ready for an emergency
call.
Cockill's wireless will be working
better to-morrow.
Byers and Rumsey, two youngsters,
were popular with the big crowd.
Those 3,000 fans certainly did salute
Old Glory.
"Bill" Clay may be in the G. A. R.
as to Tri-State experience, but he still
has the "pep" that helps win baseball
games.
Keyes and McCarthy are good men.
Joe Chabek came to town yester
day. If he warms up well to-dav he
might be given his first trial. The
fans enjoyed seeing Chabek around.
Not to be selfish, but if Harrisburg
only had one more southpaw to join
with Adams and O'Neil.
Harkins is a fast man back of the
bat. He was not hitting yesterday.
Hopka and Yale are two good finds
for "V ork. Hershey, a York county
product, fields nicely, but cannot hit..
Gus Dundon, the Harrisburg con
tract jumper, is captain of the York
team. Local funs told him a few
things yesterday. Ungratefulness has
its reward even with baseball rooters
Swayne and Clay are two of York's
'trusties." If they fall down in their
part. Heckert would be sore at heart.
Kunkel, the York twirler, will be
sold to Raleigh, N. C.
Mayor John K. Royal can throw a
ball. He turned over the decorated
souvenir to his son.

STARS FIGHT HARD
OX TELEGRAPH TEAM
With ginger to burn the Harrisburg
Telegraph Regulars last evening went
at the Yanigan squad and won out,
score 4 to 1. There is a hot fight on
for positions on the Telegraph team

HIGHLIGHTS OF YESTERDAY'S GAME
Captain "Habey" Baker Coming
For State High School Meet
Famous Football Leader From Princeton Will Be One of
the Officials
Glad news came to the members
of the Harrisburg Track Athletic
Committee to-day in the announce
ment that Captain "Hobey" Baker of
the Princeton football team would be

Bchool meet on May 16. Captain
Girl Introduces
"Hesitation" Drop
Wellesley, Mass., May 7.—And how
comes a new baseball curve, the "hesi
tation" drop! A Wellesley girl. Miss
Ruth Hoyt, mothers the new shoot,
and with its deceiving downward
jump defeated the Senior class ball
ninq, by 21 to 14, thus bringing the
Wellesley college championship to the
Juniors.
The "hesitation" drop, according to
those intimate with its vagaries, floats
up to the plate as large a% a saucer.
It hangs in the air—hesitates—then
dips suddenly downward, landing Hush
in the catcher's glove. The Seniors
went through every conceivable twist
in their efforts to land solidly on the
dancing, dipping hesitation, but all to
no avail when a hit was needed in the
pinches.
CENTRAL LEAGUE PLANS
TWO MORE OPENINGS
Interest will switch in the Central
Pennsylvania Baseball League on Sat
urday to Steelton and Middletown.
Arrangements have been made for
appropriate opening exercises in each
| town. At Steelton New Cumberland
: will be the attraction, and Middletown
will entertain Highspire.
Officials of the league last night met
at Steelton and heard testimony on
Middletown's protest of last Saturday's
game. The game was ordered to be
played over. The protest arose on
the umpire sending a runner back to
second after two men had scored on
jan error at third base.
