BASEBALL AND SPORTS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE
ELMIRi WINS SECOND
CHiIPIONSHIP GAME
Victory Comes in the Fourteenth'
Inning After the Hardest
Kind of Fighting
Fourteen innings of the most sensa
tional and hardest kind of baseball
featured the second game between
Harrisburg and Elmira at Island Park
yesterday. The New York State
League champions won out; score,
2 to 1.
Joe Chabek lost the game through
his own wildness. Jim Swift, star
twirler in the New York State League,
opposed the Tri-State premier pitcher.
Swift had the speed and while Har
risburg was not slow the Elmira
champs moved faster and with better
results. Chabek was best in pinches.
With three singles in succession, Har
risburg could not score in the twelfth.
ja»!t was not until the game went into
Mtra innings that Harrisburg man
aged to get to Swift. Chabek was
hit in most every inning, but man
aged by good head work and strong
backing to pull out of a number of
bad places.
Umpire Eckman thanked the pat
rons for their hearty support. Last
evening both the Elmira and Harris
burg players were entertained at the
Orpheum Theater.
Harrisburg scored the one run In
the fifth on McCarthy's double and
Emerson's single.
In the sixth Elmira tied up. John
soft tripled to center and scored on
Wagner's sacrifice fly. There was
nothing doing In the run line until the
fourteenth, each team putting up a
great fight. Wagner was passed, stole
second when Miller dropped the ball,
went to third on Conroy's sacrifice
"and scored on Nicholson's hard hot
grounder to short. The §core:

MEANING OF TRIPLE ALLIANCE
(•eratuny. Austria and Italy Formed
I ague For Co-operation in War
What has been known as the "bal--
ance of power" In Europe up to the
time of the many declarations of war
was maintained by the Triple Alliance,
which comprised Germany, Austria-
Hungary and Italy. This combination
was formed at the close of the Franco-
Prussian War. Then the Triple En
tente, comprising Russia, France and
Great P.rltain, was brought together
during the early years of the twen
tieth century. About two years ago
another political force appeared,
known as the Balkan League, and was
composed of Servia, Bulgaria, Mon
tenegro and Greece, which carried on
a determined war with the Ottoman
empire, at the conclusion of which
quarrels arose amongst themselves
over the division of the spoils of the
campaign.
Since the present great conflict is
changing the map of Europe nobody
will know who can claim the "balance
of powder" until the outcome. The
Telegraph Is distributing a war map
hy the use of which the dally story of
the war printed In the newspapers can
be. easily followed. This map is
printed in five colors and was origi
nally prepared by the greatest Euro
pean mapmakers. It Is folded and en
cased In strong covers, being easy to
carry in the pocket. For a short time
this useful map will be presented to

ment planted among you discord and

continue.
"On the contrary, my sole aim is that
each and every one of you may grow
and prosper and keep at the same
time the precious inheritance of
language and faith of your fathers. Let
every one of you, united to his broth
ers, live in peace and harmony with
your neighbors, respecting their na
