"RED" WHALEN
Came Back With His Stick and Wins
a Victory.
"Red" Whalen's timely triple in the
thirteenth inning brought a hard
earned victory for Harrisburg at ILan
caster yesterday; score, 3 to 1. While
errors figured at intervals, the battle
was fast. This victory puts the Ponies
within reach of the lead. Harrisburg
plays Allentown to-day.
Mark Adams, the young Harrisburg
southpaw, was a factor outside of the
wljlow wielding by the Cockill crew.
In the thirteen innings he allowed but
five hits. Whalen was the real star of
the game. He pulled off sensational
plays and was there with his bat when
needed. Crulkshank as also in evi
dence with his circus catches. The
game was the most bitter battle eier
staged on the Red Rose diamond.
As now constituted the Lancaster
Roses have on their roster four young
players from he St. Louis Americans
-—Took, Jarosiek, Bold and Ritter.
Harrisburg scored one run in the sec
ond inning, when Miller singled and
advanced when Hooper made a bad
throw after Whalen grounded. McCar
thy sacrificed the pair and Miller
scored on Emerson's out at first.
The Roses came back strong in their
session of the second and tied the
score when Bold got on on Coekill's
error, advanced on Jarosick's single
and scored when Whalen threw the
ball into the grandstand.
The game was nip and tuck until
the thirteenth, although the visitors
threatened to score in the seventh
when Whalen pulled a two-bagger,
Emerson got on when Ritter made
an error and Adams was passed. Cook
then tightened up and got out of a
most dangerous hole.
In the thirteenth inning Crist, the
first man up, was an easy out at lirst.
Cockill'and Miller singled and scored
on Whalen's triple. Whalen was
caught at the plate trying to stretch
his hit into a home run. Lancaster
seemed to be disheartened in their half
of the thirteenth and went out in
order listlessly. The score'

STODDARD POLO LEADER
Special to Telegraph
New York, Jul 29.—Louis E. Stod
dard, considered one of the most bril
liant polo players in America, may
lead the American team, which pro
poses to invade England next year In
quest of the international trophy. At
present he is the most favored candi
date for the position.
There will be one important change
in the team. Larry Waterbury has
found it irksome to train. It is a well
flnown fact that he carried many
pounds of superfluous weight in the
contest this year. It affected his speed
and also slowed up his mounts.

Second Big Stake
Goes to Dick McMahan
Special to The Telegraph
Detroit, Mich., July 29.—Dick Mc-
Mahan yesterday won his second $5,-
000 stake of the year when he drove
King Couchman to an easy victory in
the Chamber of Commerce stake for
2.13 class pacers, the event of chief
interest, on the grand circuit program.
Eel Direct and Grand Opera were
close up to King Couchman nearly all
the way in the first heat of the Cham
ber of Commerce. Entering the
stretch, Thistle Patch came from he
hind with a line show of speed to get
second place from Eel Direct. The
lirst four horses were lengths apart at
the wire.
In the second heat, Thistle Patch
was the contender all the way, but
never had a chance to get alongside
the flying King Couchman. The clip
in the last half of this mile was too
hot for the majority of the starters,
und only six of the original thirteen
were left for the final heat, which
King Couchman won in 2.05 %, the
fastest time of the race. He had
plenty in reserve, and had he been
extended could have done considerably
better. A stiff wind which the horses
had to breast on the back stretch pre
ented record time being made.
