By "I mp"
Juicy curves by Joe Chabek and
circus catches by Chick Emerson were
big factors yesterday in winning the
game from Trenton; score, 2 to 1.
Island Park patrons never left their
eeats until the last man was out for
Trenton.
It was the second time Harrlsburg
chased the Tigers to cover on the
heme field. Williams, the Tiger twirler,
had puzzlers and speed. He lost his
own game when he tapped Chabek on
the elbow in the seventh inning with
a pitched ball.
Emerson's greatest one-hand catch
was in the sixth, when he made a long
reach and sta'>bed a four-base drive
from Johnnie's stick. Cruikshank was
also mixed up in a stabbing affray.
AVhalen and .Maurer had a close race
for brilliant work at short.
Pop Foster was on the job as man
ager for the Bengals'and was given a
warm welcome. His presence brought
increased ginger into the work of
Tronton. In the first three innings
Chabek had difficulty in getting the
hall to break right. In the third in
ning Hammond hit to left field for a
double. Meyers put down a Cincin
nati bingle and Hammond romped
home on Johnson's sacrifice fly to
center.
Harrisburg scored in the fourth
Miller reached first on Meyers' error;
Whalen sacrificed and McCarthy
doubled to left. In the seventh Cha
bek was hit. Keyes sacrificed, and
when Cruikshank sent a hot grounder
down the first base line and beat it
out Chabek came home. The score:

kind. The Central League officials re
port good finances and the game Im
proving each week.

terest will he manifested because of
three teams hecomong factors in the
race. Steelton has been playing in
hard luck but still has time to get to
gether and give the other clubs a
I chase.
Kurzcnknabe is doing all the catch
ing for New Cumberland, while Yeager
is warming the bench. Joe Leedy was
given a stiff line for his run in with
Umpire Deckard. Peardorf is doing
tine hitting for Highspire.
Wilson, who pitched Highsplre to
many victories last season, is having
trouhle with his arm.
Peters, at pitcher from Susquehanna
College, has joined Highspire.

Coleman had his eye on the ball and
had live hits for the July 4 games.
Leo Houck, the pride of Lancaster,
showed that he was able to play base
ball-as well as handle himself in the
roped arena.
Landis is being played in the field
for his hitting by Manager Wharton,
of the Middletown team.
For real rooting no one has It on
"Kid" Lynch, the popular comedian

Outfielder Twombley, of the Haltimore
International League team, had been
obtained by Cincinnati. He said
Twombley would be tried out Imme

Outfielder John Bates yesterday was
unconditionally released by Manager
Herzog. Bates has been with the Cin
cinnati team for several years. Hq
formerly played with several other
National League clubs, including the

Fenton Whalen Star at Short;
Major Scouts Watch the Soy
By "I'mp"
More star inflelders have been
' turned out by Harrisburg than by any
I minor league team in the state. Eddie
| Foster was a HarrisburK product and
iis now a Washington star. This year
! Fenton Whalen is the boy who is ex
j pected to be picked up by one of the
! major teams.
Whalen is showing work that gives
; him prominence. There is no player
' on the team who plays harder than
| this youngster. 1.1 is record at short is
j a proof that he is in the game to make
I good. Errors do not worry the sorrel
| top inflelder. The same can be said of
all players on the Harrisburg team.
| Whalen. however, takes chances few
I ball players would go after.
; At the bat Whalen has been a factor
In many victories and if Is work con-
I tinucs as it has been for the past
I month there is very reason to believe
he will be snatched up in short order.
Whalen is fast on his feet and covers
a large territory. He is on the job
I every minute of the game and has a
| whip that makes It impossible for the
j fast runners to beat out a hit to deep
! short. Working with McCarthy at Sec-
I ond. Oockill at first and Prist on third,
j Whalen is a valuable man.
Whalen is a native of Lockport,
IX. Y. He Is 2 4 years old. He broke
| Into the Ohio State ' League with the
t'hilllcothe team. Next he went to
| Mansfield and then to Ironton. Mil
waukee drafted Whalen from Ironton

LIGHTWEIGHT FIGHT
K DISAPPOINTMENT
"Billy" Rocop of Philadelphia
Sends Real Facts Regarding
the Results
According to a cahlegram to the
Public Ledger of Philadelphia the
Ritchie-Welsh fight was not a big suc
cess financially.
The veteran sporting writer, William
H. Rocop, of the Public I/edger, who
is in Europe, and witnessed the battle,
sends the following to his paper:
"While all Europe is discussing the
result of the Ritchie-Welsh bout to
day, promoters are busy balancing ac
counts. The gate were a dis
appointment, being only *21,000, and
American finance, a» often before, tri
umphed. Ritchie received his $15,000
guarantee and SIO,OOO for his share of
the moving-picture money, already de
posited with Billy Gibson, of New
York. Tremendous expense was at
tendant upon the v ontest, and after
all expenses were deducted Welsh re
ceived little more than a reputation. He
is already booked for music halls, and
expects a great revenue from that
source.
"There was a great argiiment£fn
clubs and hotels to-day over RefS?e
Corri's decision. Many claim that nie
Welsh crowd at the ringside made it
for him. The dispute may revolution
ize decisions of championship contests.
The margin of last night's bout Is said
to be insufficient to lose the title.
"Ring followers are not kindly dis
posed toward incessant clinching,
holding and running away. Welsh
proved a pastmaster at this art. A
private view of the moving pictures
tells Its own story, for it shows Welsh
playing an evasive game, with Ritchie
the aggressor in the majority of the
rounds. Welsh's light blows scored
frequently and won the decision."
