Dauphin-Perry League Notes
For the first time this season, MU
lersburg now has no claim to first
place, Marysville holding down that
coveted position with Duncannon a
close second.
Millersburg continues to skid, hav
ing dropped six in a row after win
ning seven straight.
Bailor, Halifax's receiver, took re
venge on his former Newport team
mates, when he pounded out three
hits off Wertz, which produced enough
runs for Halifax to vanquish her oppo
enets.

again with Duncannon at centerfield |

"Pi" Hunter, of Duncannon, is some |
utility man. In the early part of the j
season, he worked back of the bat;
later, he substituted at second base
and last Saturday, he held down right'

valuable man to have in the line-up j
at almost any position.
Brownie Zeigler, of Newport, is
getting his eye on the ball now. Dur- j
lng the early part of the season, he
was hitting poorly, but in the last i
three games, he has slammed out five
hits. This should fatten his batting
average somewhat.

signed articles for their battle at
Brighton Beach, N. Y., September 11.
The purse to be divided by the boxers
amounts to $32,600 and is said to

Gibbons will return to St. Paul to

Vanity Wins Race;
Resolute Towed Ashore
Special to The Telegraph
Newport, R. 1., Aug. 4.—Boisterous
weather virtually disintegrated the
racing contingent of the New York
Yacht Club cruising squadron yester
day. Starting for Newport from New
London in the forenoon ofT Fishers
Island, the yachts bumped Into a cross
sea and a twenty-five knot east wind,
which at once put several yachts out
of commission through breaks and
strains of various sorts, and drove
other craft to seek the shelter of a
harbor.
Chief of the disabled vessels was the
Resolute, one of the America's cup
candidates, which met with an acci
dent to her top hamper and was
towed to port.
The Vanitle finished at 3:16 o'clock,
after a thresh of thirty-eight miles.
The Enchantress was the second boat
to finish. The Samuri and the Gray
ling. of the fifty-footers, finished in
order.
The Vanitie gains the credit of a
victory, since once a yacht crosses the
starting line in a race she must keep
herself together and loses the con
test if she leaves it, as did the Reso
lute.
