BASEBALL SEASON
TO START TOMORROW
Harrisburg Independents Meet
North York Team in First
Game; Wertz to Pitch
Minus the thrills of league baseball,
but full of promise for excitement,
Harrisburg's baseball opening will be
held officially to-morrow afternoon.
The city's representative team, known
as the Independents, will meet the
North York team at Island Park. Play
starts at 3 o'clock.
The one feature that has caused
much enthusiasm in this city, is the
attraction. Harrisburg for many years
has had a York team here for the
opening game. North York will have
a few Tri-State players and a number
of college stars. The team is said to
be the strongest independent organ-1
lzation in York.
Pick liine-np To-day
The Harrisburg line-up will be an
nounced after practice to-day. Man
ager J. Harry Messersmith is anxious
to have his regular line-up in the
game. Local fans have been looking
forward to this game with unusual in
terest because of the presence of a
half-dozen local stars.
Every effort is being made to have
Oovernor Martin G. Brumbaugh attend
the game. City and county officials
have sent word that they will be on
hand. Box seats have been reserved
for the guests. It is probable that
Wertz, who pitched in the Tri-State
last season, will be on the mound for
Harrisburg. The York line-up is as
follows:
Keesey. center field: Dousm. second
base: Billet .left field: Rowe, first base;
Kleindinst, shortstop; Hildebrand,
right field: Landis, third base; Het
rick, catcher: Smith, pitcher, and
Blessing, Hall and Yingst, substitutes.
RAIN THREATENS TRACK MEET
Central high athletes were In prime
form for the annual intercjass meet
to-day. However, it was feared that
rain would interfere with the program.
Central high students are also enter
ed in the Penn-State meet to-morrow, j
It is probable the program will be
carried over until Monday.

Joe Chabek Makes Good;
Is Pitching For Newark
Joe Chabek, who last year was the
pitching sensation in the Tri-State
League, winning twenty-eight and
losing but three games for Harris
burg, is going just as good in the In
ternational League this season.
Pitching for Newark, he almost put
over a no-hit, no-run game, blanking
Montreal and holding their hatsrnen
to two hits.
If Chabek can keep up this kind of
work, it's an even bet that he won't
linger long in the International.
Chabek is the property of Brooklyn
Nationals.

CART. CROSS
Local Veteran Canoeist who is also
an inventor.
Warm weather and the prospects
for an early completion of the river
dam, is causing activity among local
canoeists. Equipment is being over
hauled and everything put in readi
ness for a busy season.
Harrisburg lias a large number of
canoeists. Some have been following
this sport for a long time. Among the
veteran local canoeists is Carl Cross
who is a familiar figure on the river.
Mr. Cross does not confine his sport to
Harrisburg alone. He makes frequent
trips, some for long distances.
His favorite trip, he says, is that
between Boiling Springs and this city,
a large portion of which is over the
I Yellow Breeches creek, which empties
into the Susquehanna river at New
Cumberland, and offers a number of
ideal conditions for that sport, such as
the shooting of rapids.
Mr. Cross is the originator of a ca
noeist's camping outfit, which is said
to be complete and efficient. He
claims that his tent is especially
adapted to the comfort of the occu
pant. as the flaps are so arranged as
to admit cool air in warm weather
and warm air when the nights are
chill.
