A Bit of a
HILL'S BINGLE
ROUTS THE TEUTONS
Punches Pill on the Nose in the
Ninth; Drives in Winning
Run
By "Ump"
Hitting the ball squarely on the
r.ose in the ninth inning at Island
Tark yesterday with two men down,
Commander-in-Chief Cockill ended a
record day at the bat, landing victory
for Harrisburg; score, 4 to 3. Eraer
eon romped home with the final run.
The Teutons dropped to fourth place.
Cockill stepped to the plate five
times yesterday. Each time he drove
the ball out clean. His final swat was
pood for four bases. It not only
brought victory, but made a small boy
happy who picked up the ball and ran
home with it. The boy can keep the
ball.
Sizzling spitters by Joe Chabek,
timely hits and brilliant fielding fig
ured in the glorious achievement by
Oockill's crusaders. It was an exciting
battle between Chabek and Topham,
two iron men on the mound. While
Topham was more successful in
squirming out of tight places, Chabek
had the backing. Every put out or
assist in the box score was important
In yesterday's game.
Cannell hit to left in the fourth.
McGeehan was hit by a pitched ball.
A passed ball by Miller scored one run
find put a runner on third. A sacrifice
fly scored the second run. Crulk-
Bhank's error with Boyle's hit brought
the third.
Harrisburg opened with two on a
jiass for Keys, an error by Topham,
r single by Cockill and Cruikshank's
triple. In the fourth Cruikshank
eingled, went to second on Whalen's
sacrifice, scoring on McCarthy's
double. In the ninth Emerson reached
•irst on Stutz's error. Chabek struck
>ut. Keyes went out on a fly to Castle

His ability to hit makes Charley
Miller the most valuable backstop Har
r' burg has ever had.
Catcher Charles Miller is a clean
cut player. He has not missed a game
back of the bat since he landed in
Harrisburg. Accidents or sickness
alone will keep him out. His return
to Harrisburg was another good move
in the effort to bring the second pen
nant to Harrisburg. Charley Miller is
one of the boys picked by local fans to
do a big part in this season's race.
Miller is a young man. He was born
April 14, 1887, at Williamsport. Com

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
turn out pood men in Williamsport.
Miller began his baseball career on
town lots. All stars do that. His first
engagement that brought him a
monthly stipend was in 1907. when he
accepted a position with Scotdale, In
the Western Pennsylvania league. A
Cincinnati scout picked him out and
he was drafted by the .Reds. Cincin
nati sent Miller to New Bedford, Mass.,
in the New England League.
Wilkes-Barre picked Miller and he
played with the Rarons for a season,
when the St. Louis Nationals took him
by draft. Having a surplus of catch
ers when the season started, Miller
was sent back to Wilkes-Barre. He
next with Binghamton and
lotcr with Montgomery (Ala.) and At
lanta. Brooklyn took Miller, but At
lanta bought him back. From Atlanta
Miller went to Louisville in 1911, and
from there the popular catcher came
to Harrisburg. He was a big factor
in winning the pennant for the Sen
ators in 1912. Pittsburgh took Miller
from Harrisburg and sent him to
St. Paul, Minn. This year he is back
again In Harrisburg.
Miller has a business interest that
keeps him in the East. Being in
minor company enables him to look
after his business and at the same
time gives him an opportunity to keep
in working form. He is still in line
for faster company and would be gob
bled up in quick time if he wanted to
get. away.
Miller is a player who is in the game
with a conscience. In every game he
does his very best and he listens to
wiser heads. Harrisburg is blessed
with a number of men of this caliber
and it means much in a pennant chase.
Up to last Wednesday Miller was bat
ting at a .359 clip. He was in 33
games; at the bat 115 times; scored
<!8 made 41 hits, 4 sacrifice hits
stole 3 bases, and has had 6 twol
baggers, 2 triples and 2 home runs
Back of the bat he had 156 outs, 28
assists and made only 14 errors. His
fielding average is .974.

111 BIGBOAT DACE
Syracuse Rowers Look Good as the
Runner Up, and Second
Best
By Associated Press
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 26. —The
sJx rowing colonies of Cornell, Colum
bia, Syracuse, Pennsylvania, Washing
ton and Wisconsin were astir early
this morning with their 120 oarsmen
keyed up to high tension for the day's
rowing contests on the Hudson.
There were no changes in the bet
ting overnight and Cornell continued
the favorite in all three races, several
bets at even money being reported on
Cornell against the fleld. There were
many bets of even money on Wash
ington against Pennsylvania and some
wagers that Syracuse would not be
third or better in the varsity race.
The morning trains and excursion
steamers brought thousands of visitors
into the city. The river presented a
beautfl'ul marine picture, pleasure
craft of all types lining the east side
of the course near the finish. The
United States revenue cutter Mohawk
and the cutters Hudson and Manhat
tan were on the scene for police duty.
Among the early arrivals were the
Vanderbilt yacht Warrior and Vin-
I cent Astor's yach Noma.
The first race, between the junior
eights, was set for 4.15 o'clock; the
second race, for freshman eights, at
4.45, and the varsity race, at 6.15.
Local rlvermen stated that the two
first races would be rowed against the
last of the flood tide, giving the inside
crews, Cornell and Columbia, the ad
vantage. For the varsity race, a strong
ebb tide was indicated.
The officials were as follows: Ref
eree, John E. Eustis, Wesleyan; tiine
| keeper Hugh Cabot, Harvard; assist
i ant timekeepers, Harry A. Fisher, Co
llumbia; Frederick D. Colsen, Cornell;
I John W. Townsend, Jr., Pennsylvania;
