FANS AFTER HECKERT;
WANT NEW MANAGER
Favor "Pop" Foster as Leader of
the White Rose
Aggregation
York baseball fans are clamorlngr
tor the canning of George Washington
Heckert,and the election og "Pop" Fos
ter as leader of the White Rose team.
Manager Heo.kert was In Harrlsburg
late Saturday night en route to York
for a conference with the backers of
the York team.
One thing was missing with Man
ager Heckert—his smile. This means
that there is something going on in
York. Manager Heckert denied that
he would quit, but admitted that there
was some dissension and that the
fans in his town were using large
sized hammers. Manager Heckert
said:
"If they cah get any person who
will do better than I am, it is up to the
York officials to act. It Is not my
fault that I cannot get players. Men
who acn deliver the goods Cannot be
had at Tri-State prices, and it' is some
task to get youngsters who can get
into the gam® at the Tri-State pace
at this time."
The York Dispatch says:
"For manager of the York Tri-State
League baseball club Clarence E.
•Pop' Foster.
"This is a slate selected by the fans
of York as a solution of the present
mess into which the White Roses have
(fallen. George Heckert has failed to
produce in his capacity as leader of
|the team and York wants baseball.
iHeckert has made promise after
promise, all of which have failed to
materialize. With the exception of
one condition, that of the scarcity of
players as compared with other years,
there is no excuse for the failure of
•George W.
"In Foster, however, York would
have a playing manager of proven
ability. A man well liked and of high
standing in the baseball world, who Is
in close touch personally with all of the
hig fellows and. a man who could set
« high example to the other members
of the club. At least this is the way
the fans dope it out. It seems to be
n general impression that Heckert has
done his best and failed. Surely a
change could be no worse and there is
a first-class chance that it would im
prove the situation materially.
"George Heckert made his mistake
by loafing on the job before the season j
opened. He did not forsee the neces- '
sity of getting players early. He failed
1o read the trend of the times in base
ball, caused by the sudden jump into
rthe limelight of the Federal League,
which has caused'a shortage in play
ers. Other managers did see It and
were prepared. Heckert made prac
tically no effort to get good men until
ell other teams had their rosters com
plete. Then it was too late."
Radical Changes
in Polo Lineup;
Second Game Tomorrow
By Associated Press
New Yorwk, June 16. A redical
change in the make-up of the Amer
ican polo defenders because of Satur
day's defeat at the hands of the British
team, seems assured, judging lrom the
talk heard in polo at Meadowbrook.
The new line-up It is expected will be
Lawrence Waterbury, No. l; j. m.
Waterbury, No. 2; Malcolm Stevenson,
No. 3, anjl Devereux Milburn back.
This, It is said, is the strongest com
bination of players that the commit
tee can bring forward at this time.
It means that three members of the
•unbeaten big four will be in their old
position. H. P. Whitney cannot re
sume his place on the team because
of lack of condition as he has not
played polo for nearly a year.
Malcom Stevenson, a substitute on
the American team, is in the handdi
cup list at seven goals—a rating equal
"with that of Rene Lamontague, who
many experts thought, was largely re
sponsible for the defeat of the* cup
Saturday by a score of 8%
to 3. For several days Stevenson has
been a player close to the first rank.
year it was a question whether he
or Louis Stoddard would be selected
to fill J. M. Waterbury's place when
the latten was injured in the first
game of the series.
The second game of the series will
bo played to-morrow. Because of their
brilliant play and victory Saturday the
Britons are now strong favorites in the
betting.

Harrisburg Takes a Tumble;
Start Week in Fourth Place
Team Needs Pitchers; Kunkel a Castoff Won For Teutons
in Saturday Game
By Dmp
Harrisburg starts the week in fourth
place. This fact might be something
to worry over during previous seasons,
but it is not a bad place at this time.
Four teams in the Tri-State are well
bunched. One or more games either
way will cause changes all around.
Harrisburg lost to Allentown on
Saturday because the only pitcher on
the Cockill team. Joe Chabek, played
in centerfield, and had pitched on Fri
day. Two of the three men tried out,
O'Neill and Phillips did anything. Ad
ams held the Teutons down during the
time he pitched. It is understood that
Manager Cockill was on the job to
day looking up better material for
the pitcher's box.
Harrisburg Park
Golfers Win Series
Winning by a score of thirteen
matches to three, the Harrisburg Park
Golf Club on Saturday won from the
Country Club golf team permanent
possession of the Boyd-Payne cup.
Harrisburg Park team has won four
victories in the series, and two went
to the Country Club golfers.
On Saturday sixteen matches were
played on the Reservoir links. The
summary follows:
Perry won from Payne, Longnecker
! lost to R. McOreath, Devine won from
IL. McCreath, Clement lost to A. M.
I Sides in 20 holes; H. C. Miller won
from Bent, Lesher won from Ely, Har
