DOINGS IN SPORTLAND—INDIANS LAND TWO FROM HUSTLERS—IN THIRD PLACE
TWO FOR INDIANS !
FROMJOCNESTER
Harrisburg Hits Came in Bunches
and Timely; Poor Fielding
Back of Hoff
Kcthester, N. Y., Juy 28.—The In
dians' watchful waiting policy yester
day brought a double victory over
Rochester. The first game ended with
the score 6 to 3. The second battle
went ten innings, Harrisburg winning
on a bunch of hits; score, 7 to 6.
The first game found Rochester in
the up to the eighth, when Hoff
weakened and allowed four hits, two
of which were rather scratchy. The
Indians took advantage of the poor
fielding behind Hoff in that Inning
and, aided by the hitting, scored four
runs.
Schacht Goes Out
Schacht went in to start things for
llr.rrisburg in the second fray, but was
benched in the first inning, Rochester j
getting to him for three runs. He was :
replaced by Lee, who pitched a good ;
game, holding the Hustlers well in
check. The visitors were right on their
tees and although four errors were
chalked up against them they did not
figure in the scoring of the local nine.
With the score tied in the ninth
Harrisburg went out, one, two, three. ;
In the tenth they pulled one of their j
well-known come-backs and pounded
Herche all over the lot. A two-base |
wallop by Eddie Zimmerman scored
Kraft and Zimmerman. Rochester'
scored two in its half of the tenth, J
but was unable to put over tha win
ning count, Lee tightening and making
the locals pop to the infield. The
scores:

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
'HITS BALL TOO HARD;
GETS HIS RELEASE
That I< Why "Bill" day U Not
Working in the Bine Ridge
League
"Bill" Clay, the home run clouter
in Tri-State days, is out of a Job be
cause he hit the ball for Chambers
burg. This may sound funny, but it
is the truth. An up-to-date manager
generally lands players who can use the
stick effectively. This is not the pol
: icy in the Blue Ridge League.
When Chambersburg held the los
ing end of the games several weeks
ago. It was attributed to lack of hits.
Clay was signed and there was a rapid
change for the better. It was not long
until "Bill" was leading the League.
Then came a charge of unfairness and
Chambersburg was said to be paying
more than the salary limit In order to
get Clay. The former Trl-State star
cleaned up things in every game.
Owners For Fair Flay
Chambersburg owners stand for
fair play, and rather than have it said I
they won a pennant unfairly,, "Bill"
Clay was released. Here is how the'
Public Opinion of Chambersburg ex
plains it:
"Just to show the other teams in'
the league that we want to give them I
a further handicap, the local magnates |
gave "Bill" Clay his release. That
sounds like a joke, doesn't it? Give I
"Bill" Clay, who is leading the league]
in batting, his release!
"That is the very thing that hap-,
pened yesterday. They gave "Bill"
1 Clay his release. No more will he
worry, f»r us, the pitchers on the!
other side. They won't have to hand \
him his base on balls. And we won't !
see him swat the old ball and drive j
in runs, like he has been doing hight |
along. When a batter leads the league
in hitting he is bound to drive in runs, j
but we do not care to have any more!
runs. It seems. With "Bill," in his i
old batting place yesterday, we might
have won. Stevens was glad "Bill"
idid not face him. What's the use?
Left fielder Klein was also released."

The Resolute won over Vanitie yes

TROUBLE BREWING
HI UPPER El LEAGUE
Dauphin-Perry Managers Desire
Understanding on Rules and
Protests
Trouble Is brewing in the Dauphin-
Perry League. Reports from Marys
vllle and Dauphin indicate a meeting
of managers and representatives in the
near future. There Is no likelihood,
however, of disruption.
Some clubß say they are not getting
fair treatment in official rulings and
they want an understanding.
On Saturday at Millersburg, the
League president, it is said, ran on to
the field and protested the game.
Dauphin officials could not under
stand the action of President C. W.
Rubendall. Hla right as League
leader to enter a protest is questioned.
It was said Dauphin had three men
in their line-up who were outsiders.
Dauphin is a sufferer because of con
tract jumpers, and signed new men.
Notice was given the Millersburg cap
tain of the change in the line-up, and
he told the Dauphin manager to go
ahead and play his team, intimating
there were others who were in the
same boat with Dauphin. The pro
posed meeting will probably be held
at Dauphin. Rules will be discussed
and an understanding had regarding
future rulings.
DAUPHIN-PERRY LEAGUE NOTES
The first four teams, Millersburg,
Marysville. Duncannon and Newport
are now practically tied for first place,
with Dauphin right on their heels. A
margin of one game and a half now
separate the first five teams. Some
race!
Finnen, of the Steelton Central
Pennsylvania League team, twirled for
Dauphin on Saturday. He gave Mil
lersburg five hits.
"Ducky" Rhoads continues to catch
a classy game for Dauphin. Satur
day he clouted out three hits off Bow
man of Millersburg.
Hart, of Marysville. continues to es
tablish the strike-out record. On
Saturday he whiffed 12 Newport play
ers.
Bailor, who caught for Newport at
the beginning of the season, has don
ned the mask for Halifax.
"PI" Hunter, Duncannon's ex-catch
er. who has been developed into a
second baseman, established the
league record for assists In the Hali
fax game last Saturday,when he tossed
out eight runners.
The eleven-inning Duncannon-Hall
fax game was played in record time,
but 75 minutes being consumed. Lack
of hitting had nothing to do with this
either, as 21 hits were registered.

SFTER SECOND PUCE
111 LEAGUE STANDING
Chief Eddie Zimmerman Is Anx
ious to Oust Bisons From
Second Place
Eddie Zimmerman's tribe was busy
doing war dances at Rochester yester
day. As a result, two more scalps
arc dangling at the belts of the local
Indian chief. This double victory puts
Harrisburg up in third place again, the
Montreal Royals having lost out yes
terday.
With the local pitchers working,
Harrisburg expects to return home
either in second place or close to
Buffnlo. Hits are once more in evi
dence in the local scores. In fielding,
Manager Zimmerman's bunch is keep
ing well to the front, although down
the list In percentage. It must be con
sidered that the International League
race Is close, and big changes are
made almost daily in the line-up of the
fielding and hitting stars.
Secretary Douglass Busy
During the absence of the Indians.
Secretary William R. Douglass will be
a busy man. He is no*r working hard
to land Hughey Jennings and his
Detroit team for an exhibition gam«
on August 13. Secretary Douglass Is
a big hustler for the local team, and
has proven his ability in the past. He
is also in communication with other
teams. Washington and Boston Am
ericans are also a strong probability.
It was through the efforts of Secre
tary Douglass that interest was started
here for International League baseball.
In his canvas for supporters during
June he assured the fans tnat special
attractions would be a reature and he
is now working day and night to make
good his promise.
