Tired of un.iust criticism from York
newspapers and several alleged dis
gruntled applicants for free baseball
courtesies. Manager George Washing
ton Heckert last night announced that
he had completed arrangements for
the transfer of the York team to Lan
caster.
After a canvass of Lancaster yester
day, during which Manager Tleckert
■was given every encouragement, the
York manager went to Philadelphia
for a conference with President George.
M. Graham. It is probable that Presi
dent Graham will take a mail vote on
the transfer of the York franchise.
It is also understood that Manager
Heckert. if It is the wish of the Lan
caster backers, will step down and out
In favor of either "Pop" Foster or
Kddie Hooper. Manager Heckert said
last night that his one desire was to
show to the York people who have
heen knocking the team that baseball
is possible with proper boosting and
•support.

BROOKES CRIST. THIRD SACKER
The Boy Who Has Played On Two
Championship Teams of
the Tri-State.
By "I'mp"
Brookes Crist, the boy with the wal
lop, showed he was some player yes
terday at Reading. His sensational
work at third and the two long drives
that brought in runs put this young
man up in his averages.
Crist has always been recognized as
a man who could hit and who is valu
able as a general utility man. Not
until last season was he prominent In
infield work. Crist is an outer garden
toiler. His fleetness of foot made him
the leading Tri-State center fielder.
The actions of Crist in the outfield
are interesting. Setting himself when
he knows that a hit is coming in his
direction. Crist starts when the ball is
tapped. If it is a short hit he runs
in to grab the ball. If it is a long
drive. Crist runs with the ball, and
many times he makes a long reach or
jumps into the air to get the drive.
All the time Crist runs after a ball he
never loses sight of the fact that some
one else may be trying for the play.
If a call Is made for the other fellow,

HOUSES TO 00 OP
Bloughs Will Build Six Two-Story
Houses at Logan and

),n Continued operations

J /=y price show that the
/ 2K. impetus toward build
- . fcf- ing homes suital)ie for
occupancy by families
~' Tf\ with a moderate in-
_ _ PAL come has received no
check. Since the hous
%> ing conference brought
Ji d! forcibly to the atten
tion of Harrisburg land owners and
investors that such houses would read
ily find renters, and were indeed an
economic necessity, there have been a
number of such homes planned and
many under actual construction.
Whatever motive may actuate the
builders of these houses—and of
course the housing commission's ac
tivities are purely philanthropic—the
fact remains that tli«i builders are do
ing a great deal to solve some of the
city's problems in respect to finding
agreeable dwelling places for persons
to live in without going beyond their
means.
The latest row of this kind will he
constructed by M. H. Gettys for W. R.
and B. P. Blough. The contract calls
for the erection of six houses of two
stories each at Logan and Seneca
streets to cost $9,000.
Two Stucco Top Houses.—The type
of house with the stucco top, a
revived from Elizabethan days and
which has enjoyed a considerable
vogue of late years in this country,
will have two more stylish examples
when Robert Gross builds two of this
kind on the east side of Twenty
seventh street near Woodbine street.
The houses will be two and a half
stories in height. They will cost
$4,200.

Take t'p Infield Work
When young Byers was Injured early
in the season Manager Coeklll sent
Crist to third. This is the hardest
position to play on a team. A third
baseman must work and think and do
his playing at almost lightning speed.
He not only has bunts to look after,
but sometimes after fielding a bunt It
is necessary for him to get back to the
sack in time to make another play.
The third base line is also a good
place for a safe hit and the balls sent
toward third usually have more steam
than hits made to other parts of the
diamond.
Stopping a speedy drive and recov
ering in time to get the runner out Is
no easy ta«k. There are times when
a tnird baseman must make one-hand
plays, and if he misses it the fans call
him a "mutt." If he gets the ball and
makes the play he Is the greatest star
on the team. Third base Is the one
position where many runs are cut off.
A third sacker must also look after
foul flies and short infield hits. Fur
thermore, an important factor is let
ting the pitcher know what a runner
is doing on first base.
A Trl-State Veteran
Brookes Crist is a veteran Tri-
Stater. He started with Altoona and
was a big factor when the Altoona
team won the pennant. Crist is a
Brooklyn boy and while at school
showed his baseball ability. In games
around Brooklyn and New York Crist
was a star and after having had sev
eral tryouts with the Brooklyn team
('rist became a member of the Dodgers
squad.
Altoona grabbed at an opportunity
to get this player and made a good
find. For a time Crist played secono
base for the Mountain City team. In
1912 Harrisburg secured Crist and he
has been a valuable man ever since,
playing any position. One season Crist
led the league at the bat. Then he
slowed up and last season had a slump
until the middle of the season. His
hits came when most needed and they
are on time this season.
Up to last Wednesday Crist was
leading the Trl-State as a third sacker.
In 2 4 games he had 39 put outs, 49
assists and 4 errors. His percentage
la .957. In long hits Crist made 7
doubles, 6 triples and 1 home run. He
is third in the batting list for the num
ber of games played. In 44 games
Crist was at the bat 166 times, made
31 runs, 60 hits. 11 sacrifice hits and
stole 12 bases. His average is .3 61.
Crist was 27 years of age in April.
