WELCOME HOME FOB
ZIMMTS INDIANS
Double-Head Attraction at Island
Park This Afternoon; Big
Boost For Harrisburg
Harrisburg's second home schedule
opened at Island Park this afternoon
with a double-header with Richmond.
The Indians reached Harrisburg from
Providence this morning. Manager
Eddie Zimmerman hopes for better
luck at home. Three of his players,
Mensor, Chabek and Kraft were ill
during the trip. Callahan and Schacht
are out of the gaioe with Injuries.
Harrisburg has received the great
est amount of advertising through its
International League Club that this
city has ever received from any source.
A great deal depends on the patron
age during the next home stay of the
club as to whether this city will have
a franchise or not in the league next
season. The fans are all with Eddie
Zimmerman and his players and great
er crowds than during the initial se
ries are expected.
As one businessman expressed It:
"Let's go over to the Island and give
the boys a welcome that will outdo
anything a Harrisburg club has
ever known before."
On Monday the Indians will start
another great series with the Provi
dence club, playing single games on
Monday and Wednesday and a double
header on Tuesday in celebration of
Thorpe Day. Next Thursday and Fri
day are open dates and next Saturday
the Jersey City club will be on the
Island for a double-header. Here is
what the Providence Journal says
about Harrisburg:
Championship "Pep"
"Harrisburg showed an entirely dif
ferent brand of ball than the aggre
gation, then wearing Newark silks, put
up in the last series at Melrose Park,
showing championship timber with
the old pep oozing out at tap and
bung. The Tigers were after the spoils
and never ceased to bite and tear with
tooth and nail until the final play was
made."
"Toots Schultz faced the fiery crowd
from the banks of the Susquehanna
and he got the worst of a splendidly
pitched game. Thines broke against
him at every turn, the saddest blow
being the one Enzmann wafted to deep
center on which he completed the cir
cuit."
"Both games were loaded to the
muzzle with dazzling, almost phenom
enal fielding. McNallv had such a day
as seldom falls to the lot of a ball
player. Of his 12 chances a dozen of
them were covered with spangles. His
work while bristling all through the
double bill, was especially deadly in
the tenth when Harrisburg threatened
twice running in for bunts and get
ting the ball to second ahead of a run
ner off to a flying start."
"Out in the center pasture of the
Harrisburg team Mensor browsed
around in fine shape and during the
afternoon collected 10 flies, everyone
of a hair-raising variety. Mowe at
?hort field repeated the fine work
shown in the previous games. Kraft
nearly repeated his great stunt of last
Tune by driving the ball over the left
field fence, but it was foul about 10
feet."

He Is Worth Ten Million
Special to The Telegraph
Springfield. IU.. Aug. 14. Newton
McGrath. of Buffalo. 111., a village four
teen miles from here, got more in one
mail yesterday than he would have
earned in 264,866 years at his present
occupation, that of section hand on the
vY abash Railroad.
McGrath. dropping his pick and
shovel, tore open a letter from a New
York law firm advising him that his
share of the $50,000,000 Mercer estate,
In which he is an heir on his mother's
side, is about $10,000,000. He read the
letter twice, stuck it in the back
pocket of his overalls and resumed dig
ging.
As soon as Mrs. Henry Stillwell, a
sister, last heard of in Missouri. is
found, the fortune will be divided, says
McGrath. Until then he will keep on
working at $1.25.
