18 BUFFALO TO PLAY ALBRIGHT TEAM BISONS PREPARE FOR FIRST GAME Plav Albright College Team on Island Field Tomorrow Afternoon By OT KIiON K With only a few hours left in which to whip his team Into Al shape for the first exhibition game of the season, to be played to-morrow on the Island grounds with "Pop" Kelchner's nine of Albright College, Manager "Patsy" Donovan led his trusty ball tossers to the grounds of the Harrisburg Acad emy early this morning to put them through three hours of real hard prac tice. Starting at 10 o'clock. Manager Donovan had the boys hard at it, batting, fielding and running the bases, while the pitchers and catchers were paired off warming up. One of the most notable features of the past few days' training has been the work and condition of Guy Cooper, the former Red Sox pitcher, who. after having played several games with the Georgia Tech team at Atlanta. Ga„ early this Spring, is in wonderful condition. His speed, curves and control are remarkable. He will pitch to-morrow. "Georgie" Gaw, who won the pennant for the Buffalo team last year by pitching a game which made history in the Inter national League, is ready to duplicate if necessary this year. Tv Tyson, who first gained promi nence by his pitching for a semipro team in Niagara Falls against Federal League teams, is also on the firing line with the other members of the pitching staff. Channell Bark in Game Captain and Right Fielder lister channel, who upon two occasions was identified with the Yankees, is back at his old position. Channel has a bad leg, having broken it three times in five years. His batting, which has given him an average of over "00 for the past five years, is greatly relied upon by "Patsy." In to-day's practice I.ester proved that his eye and heavy, steady swing has lost none of last year's qualities. Merlin Kopp, who came to the Risons in the deal whereby Judge and Jamison were sold to the Senators, is holding down center field. Bud Holmes, who batted 288 on the Lynn team of the New England League, is heing worked out in left field. Jack Hummel, the "old vet" from the Brooklyn Nationals, met with an accident in yesterday's practice which will keep him out of the game for a few days. Holmes, who was practicing some snap hits, threw his bat along the ground, stdiklng Hummel on the shin, inflicting a cut which necessi tated two stitches being taken in Jack's leg. The line-up for Saturday's game as near as can be told from the present outlook will be: Carlston, tirst base; O'Neill, second base: Lonergan, short stop, and McDonald, third base. The outfield will be Captain Channel, right right; Kopp, center, and Holmes, left field. Guy Cooper will open tin on the twirling, while Onslow will snatch from behind the bat. The schedule for next week will he: Tuesday, Susquehanna T'nlversity: Harrisburg Motive Power; Thursday. Dickinson College, and Sat urday.

O'Donnell's Duck Waddle Is Latest Football Rush Special to the Telegraph Lafayette, Ind., April 7. The Ger man army's famous "goose step" has not a thing on the new Purdue "duck waddle," introduced to the members of the football team by the new coach, Oleo O'Donnell. And the "duck wad dle' is no parade step, either, but a new mode of battle advance for the rush line. Crouched until knees almost touch the ground and with one hand dragging and feet far apart, the mem bers of the Purdue spring training squad are learning to cover the ground rapidly and to resist all efforts to over turn them or force retreat. When the grotesque figures first ap peared on the gridiron they caused much merriment among the students, but when placed against an opposing line using last year's tactics the smile of derision changed to one of appre ciation. The old style players were overwhelmed. O'Donnell will place 80 per cent, of his confidence in the advance guard in all games next sea son, he says. WELLY 5 CORNER Baseball will set a further boost to | morrow in Harrisburg when the Buf- I falo International League will line up against "Pop" Kelehner's Albright (college team. With tine weather a I record crowd is looked for. Manager | Pat Donovan is whipping his men into | shape, and an interesting exhibition j can be expected. j The West End A. C. will play Leb anon Valley college to-morrow after noon at Annville. With the first vic tory over Mereersburg, Manager | Frank Heiney is of the opinion that he will give the collegians a hard chase. Practically the same team that played at Mereersburg on Wednes day will go to Annville tomorrow. A 1 1-awson has not yet received a j permit to erect new stands and i bleachers at Lauer's Park, Reading, or j even make improvements. The build ing inspector insists on regular blue! prints and substantial evidence that the changes will be according to law, j and everything possible done to make! the seats safe for patrons. That AI Lawson scents defeat in his plan to launch the Atlantic league is shown in another failure yesterday to | com to terms with the State League j officials. Lawson agreed to give Presi- I dent Rosenbluth Reading and Pater son franchises providing the manage- | ment at Reading would be turned over j to Lawson. The offer was turned! down. Some lively milling is expected hv local fight fans on Monday night in the West End Republican Club box ing show at Chestnut street auditor-! ium. The promise of a 10-round bout has attracted much attention among Harrisburg patrons, and Frankie Mc-1 Guire and Joe Hunting have every body guessing as to the result.
