Cockill's Crew Chalks Up an
Eleventh Inning Victory;
Fox Is Lucky
By "l T nip''
Winning an uphill fight from, Rea
ding in the eleventh inning yesterday,
score 3 to 2 was the hardest proposi
tion the Cockill crusaders have had
this season. 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-

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.
