The Braves' captain, taking excep tion to a decision by Umpire Rigler, who declared Bob Beacher safe at the plate on a close play, was quoted In a newspaper as having shouted: "They're trying to get the crowds out; they've ordered a close race; leave them alone, boys; they're only following Instruc tions."

DAUTTIIIX-PERRY LEAGUE NOTES Stewart, the Harrisburg Tech High star has been signed by Dauphin. Anspach, MarysviUe's shortstop will be out of the game for sometime with several badly torn ligaments in his right arm. Bowman, Mlllerburg's star slab art ist, is confined to his bed, and will not get Into the game any more this sea son. Kepner, Mlllersburg's little second baseman was in the game last Satur day, after being out several weeks with an attack of typhoid fever. Frankhouse continues to whale the pill for Duncannon, banging out three hits In the game against Dauphin last Saturday. "Buck" 'Williams, who was with M&rysville before the opening of the season, broke into the league last Saturday with Dauphin. Millersburg still manages to hold down first place. Marysville is just one game behind: Duncannon and Newport are tied for third place, and Dauphin and Halifax are fifth and sixth.

Marysville clubbers are finding their! batting eyes now. Herman leads thej stickers with an average of .333. i Hippie and F. Palmer are the only other .300 clubbers on the team.

The Telegraph Art & Engraving Departments 216 Locust Street FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JULY 16, 1915 HARRISBURG'S B From the lots right Into the big league Is the record that Wyatt Arn old Lee, better known as "Big" Lee is proud of. Lee is the only southpaw twirler on the staff of Eddie Zimmerman's Indians and he has been shoot ing his slants across the plate since 1900 and looks as if he is still good for a number of years' service. , "Watty" Lee acknowledges that he was born in Lynchburg, Va., in 1882. In 1908 he drifted to Kansas City where he was employed by the Heimes Brewing Company and played two baseball games a week with the crack team which the company organized. Lee started to pitch and play the out field and his work was so remarkable that In 1900 he was signed by the Kansas City club of the American League. Lee made good from the start In fast company and In 1901 when the Kansas City club was transferred to Washington he went along. .i Th S..P lg . sou thpaw made good with Washington and in 1904 he was sold t0 Pittsburgh Nationals with whom he finished the season. In 1905 ?^», 1 -? 06 . Lee as with the Toledo club of the American Association and in 1907 he jumped to the Altoona Tri-State League club. This was in the old. outlaw days when the Tri-State was employing stars at fabulous salaries. Lee was with Altoona in 1907 and 1908 and became a member of the Har risburg club in 1909 remaining here only part of the season when ho went to Toronto. The next season saw him In Toronto again where he pitched brilliant ball and occasionally filled in as an outfielder. In 1911 he wc tto Newark where he has played ever since. In addition to being a clever twirler Lee has always had the happy faculty of being able to hit and he is looked upon In the International League as the slugging pitcher."
