SPORTS-JOE CHABEK STOPS EVEN BREAKS- KRAFT HITS FOR ELEVEN BASES-SPORTS FML HOME SERIES WITH PROVIDENCE International Leaders Next Attrac tion at Island Park; Dave Shean in Charge What promises to be the greatest series of baseball games that Harris burg fans have had an opportunity to witness in years will start to-morrow when the champion Providence club will open a three-day stand on the Island. There will be single games Thursday and Friday and a double header Saturday. The Providence club Is under the leadership of Dave Shean, the former Willlamsport second base man, who later went to the Detroit Americans and the Boston Nationals. Much imprtance centers in the Providence series, as the members of the Harrisburg club feel that if they can win a majority of the games or the series from the Grays, as the Provi dence club is known, they will be in a position to put up a great battle for the championship. It seems hardly possible for Harris burg to realize that it has a club that stands a chance to win the Inter national League championship, but every member of the club is full of the spirit of winning and such battles as are due for the next three days should be well worth seeing. Perfect Baseball Machine The Providence club is referred to as a "perfect baseball machine" and players and managers who have been here with other clubs have spread the word "See that Providence club." The pitchers for the Providence club are Joe Oescheger, the California boy who belongs to the Phillies and gainerf a place in the hall of fame by pitching a no-hlt. no-run game against Montreal a week ago; Cooper, who belongs to the Detroit Americans; Eayrs, the for mer University of Pennsylvania star, v.ho belongs to Detroit; Comstock, an other Detroit twlrler, who has won 11 games and lost 3 this season, and Tcots Schultz, another former Penn player, who was formerly with the Phillies when he left college. Tri-Stater in the Game The catchers are Casey, formerly with the Detroit Americans, and Haley, who belongs to the Boston Americans. At first base is Onslow, of the Detroit club, and at second Shean, who is well known by former Tri-State fans. At third base McNally, recently secured from the Boston Americans and said to possess the best throwing arm in the International League, is found, while at short Fabrique, of the Wash ington Americans, is found. In the outlleld are Shorten, of the Boston Americans; Powell, of Detroit, and Gill and Eayrs alternate in right field. Special arrangements are being made to accommodate the greatest crowd that has ever witnessed a game at the Island on Saturday.
