FEDS JIRLBUNCHED:
NEW RECORD LIKELY
Baltimore and Chicago Are Nip
and Tuck For First
Place ,
Due to the fact that Ave clubs in
the Federal League are well bunched,
the outlaws are attracting widespread
attention.
The Feds have a bis; bunch of boost
ers in Harrisburg and vicinity. Pres
ent indications are that the. Gilmofe
teams will establish a new record for
close scores.
Pittsburgh, Aug. 7. Baltimore
nosed Chicago out of the lead by
downing the Chifeds Tuesday, and the
Clilfeds, by beating the Terrapins, took
the lead, but the race from now until
the home stretch is reached in Sep
tember promises to be a seesaw event
between at least five clubs.
Chicago, Baltimore, Brooklyn, In
dianapolis and Buffalo are all con
ceded a chance to win, and some ex
citing brushes are expected as the
teams near the stretch. Chicago in
first place to-day is only six and one
half games ahead of Buffalo in fifth
place, with any one of the intervening
clubs liable to change places over
night.
That the rival managers will go the
limit in the efforts to land in front is
seen in the move made yesterday by
Joe Tinker, of the Chifeds, when he
landed A. Rankin Johnson, of Texas,
former speed marvel with the Boston
Red Sox, who, with Pitcher Coumbe
and Catcher Eagan, was recently
traded to Cleveland for the Nap star
\ean Gregg. Johnson jumped to
Tisker's team rather than join the
Xaps. He is expected to prove a val
uable acquisition and should bolster
'he Chifcd pitching staff for the re-

Harrisburg Southpaws Land Two
Victories; O'Neill Allows
But One Hit

crew traveled a fast pace yesterday,
winning two games from the Chicks,
scores fi to 2, and 9 to 2. Both vic
tories were won by Harrisburg south
paws. O'Neill allowed but one hit in
the second game.
In the first battle the Ponies romped

much in evidence and used up .three
Wilmington twirlers.
Harrisburg scored the first run in
the second inning.
Keyes drew a single and advanced
on Cruikshank's sacrifice and went to
third on Crist's out. He scored on
Cockiil's single. The two final runs
came in the sixth. Cockill walked,
went to second on Miller's hit, advanc
ed to third on Whalen's out, Miller
going to second, both scored en Mc-
Carthy's single.
In the second game Keyes and
Cruikshank walked in the first inning
and Crist was safe on Meyer's error.
Both Keyes and Cruikshank scored on
Cockiil's hit.
Wilmington sent one across in the
next half of the first. Shollenberger
walked and was sacrificed by Pedone,
scoring on Whalen's wild throw.
In the second inning Shollenberger's
error allowed McCarthy to get on. He
went to second on Emerson's out and

enth when Brown walked and went
