Additional glory came with the victory in the defeat of Al lentown by Wilmington. This gives Harrisburg a two and a half game lead. With his Ponies, Manager George Cockill left to-day for Wilmington, where three games will be played. If Harrisburg can get two out of three from the Chicks, fans in general will be satisfied. On Friday the Ponies will be the attraction at Rossmere Park, Lancaster. The last Saturday game at home will be played with Lancaster at Island Park next Satur day. John Fox started in bad form yes terday, but pulled together after the fourth inning. Luck was with him, as only one run was scored on four hits in one inning. Clunn had the best, of Fox, and pitched winning ball throughout the game. Both teams played a listless game for six innings. Then came the greatest battle seen by fans this season. Sensational fielding featured every play. Close decisions put Umpire Applegate in bad. Cova leskie spoiled a chance for Harrisburg to win with a perfect throw in the tenth, cutting off Cruikshank at the plate. In the eleventh, he made an other perfect throw, but Nagle drop- W c»p«. -««bv Me ?' get into the know that Prince Albert can't bite your tontme W ' can / parch your throat.

AT PAXTANG There is one thing that can bo satd for the Japanese, those that appear on the stage can be relied on to give a first-class entertainment. The Kuma troupe appearing at the Paxtang Park theater this week have caught the American vaudeville idea and do a lit tle of everything. The child in the act KiriK-s admirably well, something un usual for a Japanese, while the othor two members of the troupe do some clever juggling, acrobatic work and Oriental magic. The act Is a wholo show In Itself, and one that may bo ranked with the very best. Another act on this week's park bill that is making a great hit with the audience Is Uestivo, an Italian acor dionist. Restivo confines his efforts to the popular ragtime selections, and that is what seems to please. Repeated en cores are the rule whenever Restivo trios to finish his act and leave the stage. Mrs. Dougherty's trained Fouchere, bicycle expert, and the Don ley Trio complete the balance of a most Interesting park vaudeville show. On Friday evening there will bo an other free fireworks display at the park. If this week's exhibition Is as good as the previous ones have been, it will bo a welcome evenings entertain ment, and should draw a record-break' Ing crowd.—Advertisement. 9
