GOCKILL'S CREW
METIS WEEK
Start Week With the Wilmington
x Chicks; Teutons Return For
, Two More Games
if
Cocklll's crusaders will do most of
their fighting at home this week.
Jimmy Jackson and his Chicks will
ecratch at Island Park to-day and to
morrow. On "Wednesday and Thurs
day, Harrisburg will invade the White
Rose dominion. Johnny Castle and
his Teutons will wind up the week at
the island.
Weakness in the pitchers box is the
only thing that appears to me worry
ing George Cocklll at present. He has
ta controversy on hand with Trenton
(regarding Cruikshank's services which
-may terminate in an appeal to
president George Graham. Trenton |
•claims the popular first baseman be-,
Jongs to them. That he advanced
money to the Bucknell player.
On the other hand, Manager Cockill
eays he has not turned Cruickshank
over to Trenton, that the Tiger man
agement failed to agree on terms and
that Heist, a part of the deal, refuses
to plav with Harrisburg. Local base
ball fans are raising a howl over the
likelihood that Cruickshank will not
be with Harrisburg. He is a hard hit
ter and is making good on first sack.
Manager Cockill says that as long
as Cruikshank Is not needed in Har
risburg he may prove a valuable as-
Bet in landing a good pitcher. Eddie
O'Connor, who helped to pull Harris
burg through last season, may re
port to Harrisburg most any day, ac
cording to reports. President Graham
will be in Harrisburg this week and a
conference will be held on the Cruick-
Bhank controversy.

Cockill's Twirlers
Are Easy Picking
Harrishurg's pitchers were easy at
■Reading on Saturday. The "Pretzels
nosed out a victory, score 7 to 6.
Olunn the pitcher who holds the run
less and hitless record in the Tri-
State. was bumped by Harrisburg, but i
bumps came too late.
Adams started for Harrisburg. Fail-1
•ure to get support at critical times,
and raw decisions on balls and strikes
put the Elizabcthville boy in the air.
Phillips settkd down after he had a
few wild heaves. Clunn showed a
weakness in the last four innings,
and was saved from defeat by brilliant
playing back of him. The score:

"Bobby" Scott Quits;
Not in Condition
Special to The Telegraph
Allentown, Pa., June 8. —After los-1
lng Saturday's game with Wilmington,
Robert Scott. Allentown's star pitcher,
called on the management and, in
sisting he was not in condition and
dissatisfied with his work, announced
•his intention to go into temporary vol
untary retirement. Scott led the Tri-
State's pitchers last year, and was re
garded as Allentown's most valuable
asset. The reason of his failure to
make good so far this season is a mys
tery both to his admirers and himself.
Manager Castle and the officers of
the club had thought for a moment of
retiring or suspending him. Scott will
continue his work with the Pennsyl
vania Railroad in Philadelphia, and
resume pitching when he feels he
can do justice to his team and him
self. The situation was so uniciue that
lit took some time to dope out his
exact status. The only rule of the.
game fitting his case was to suspend
him for Insubordination. This covers
his own desire to recuperate without
pay, and Is entirely mutual and

for the amateur championship.
The game was played at Enola and
was an interesting contest from start

Daugherty and Ibach for the Tele
grap, and Swingle and Gibson for
Enola made the game attractive. Kline
did not weaken until the last inning.

Teutons Get Kunkel;
Joins Allentown Today
Pitching a good game for New
Cumberland against Middletown on
Saturday won for Voung Kunkel a
place on the Allentown Tri-State
team. Kunkel will be given a trial
by the Teutons either to-da.v or to

through errors back of him. He fan
