16 IN LEAD SATURDAY ' SAYS GEORGE COCKILL This Is the Week When Oppor tunity Knocks at Harrisburg's Doors By "Ump" With one goal in view—first place by July 4—George Cockill and his crew started an important week at Heading to-day. Harrisburg must show special speed to push the Chicks out of first place. Two games from Reading will bring Harrisburg home close enough to move into first place by defeating Wilmington on Wednesday when the Chicks appear at Island Park. A Thursday victory over Jimmy Jackson and his leaders would sinch the place. In the game on Saturday with Tren ton, ' Harrisburg won, score 2 to 1, breaking the hoodoo. John Fox was responsible for the undoing of the Bengals. He not only held them to six scattered hits but sent a single to left field in the tenth that brought the winning run. It was a pitchers' battle between Meehan and Fox. Both teams had good backing except in one Inning, when Harrisburg faltered in their pace. Meehan was a bit wild and his wlld ness figured in Trenton's loss. The score follows: TRENTON AB. R. H. O. A. E.

HARRISBURG BUYS WHAUEX; MILWAUKEE APPROVES SALE j Fenton Whalen, the popular short stop on Cockill's crew is now the property of Harrisburg. On Satur day a deal was closed by which this [youngster was purchased from the Milwaukee team of the American As sociation. Whalen was sent to Harrisburg from Wilkes-Barre. As the Barons j have a good man at short, Harrisburg | was given the opportunity to make! the purchase, and jumped at the chance. The price paid was not men tioned. Negotiations are on for two I other players. sack and it is for this reason that he is a valuable man on any team. Cruikshank Is a product from West Somerville, Mass. He was the real baseball boy when at school, end when on the high school team In his home town, was the star that brought the victory to independent teams, anxious to bring their towns into prominence would seek Cruikshank out for spe cial games and many towns in Massa chusetts boasts of a championship be cause Cruikshank hit in a winning run; or stopped a long fly that would have given the other fellows a victory. | He's Only 22 It was on April 17, 1892, that Frank Cruikshank first saw the light of day. He took up athletics at the age of 16 and this brought him into the base ball game. After Cruikshank had played independent baseball in Penn sylvania, in the Huntingdon League and in the New York State League, Hank Ramsey, who was manager of Altoona, discovered him. Cruikshank next played on the Reading team and came to Harrisburg in 1912. Cruik shank is a Bucknell University foot ball star, and last season was captain and coach of the Bucknell eleven. He has another year to go and will gradu ate next June. Being a Bucknell boy, brought Cruikshank into close touch with George Cockill. His ability was sized up by Harrisburg's leader, and while it required some special efforts Manager Cockill landed a good man when he brought Cruikshank to Har risburg. It was his work at first, and in the field that helped Harrisburg move up near the top last season. His Record Up to last Wednesday Cruikshank played sixteen games. His batting average is .250. He was at the bat 64 times, made nine hits, three sacri fice hits and three stolen bases. In the outfield Cruikshank has played fourteen games, and scored twenty hits, four assists and made two errors. Since his appearance with Harrisburg the lad has been picking up in stick work. He is fast in the outfield, and his work has been a big feature in a number of games. At the close of the present season ; Cruikshank will return to Bucknell. 'Johnson to Play "Othello" on the American Stage Special lo The Telegraph Paris, June 29.—-Jack Johnson, bane of the white hopes and the traffic squad, has heeded the call of art. j Pugilism is a low-down profession, i any way, he has decided, and so after | his engagement here with Frank Moran on Saturday Johnson an-1 nounced that he would devote Sunday afternoon and evenings to uplifting the stage in America —or rather part of it. To this end he signed a contract with Sam McKie, of the Brighton Beach Music Hall, for a tour of the United States in "Othello." The negro champion will take the lead, be sole star, and draw a regular Harry der salary every Tuesday night. Johnson has been worrying about the American drama for some time, and now this opportunity has come to elevate it nothing will stop him, he says. Not even the fact that the moment he steps on an American dock he is due to be taken in hand by the Federal authoritien and rushed to a cell for a five-year term. \ Important Battles Fought by Johnson Ver- Opponent and Place.
