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. Lebanon Valley.

Officials of the Pennsylvania State

Lancaster was visited yesterday,
and this morning President Rosen

Arrangements were made to take over
a plot of ground near the central
portion of the city.
President Rosenbluth announced on

ter, with I. B. Reinhart as president,
and "Wild Bill" Dahlen, of Brooklyn,
or BUI Phillips, National Leaguer, as

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. Both
fighters are training hard for this bat
tle.
Frank Filling who will be director;
general of the boxing show at the
Auditorium Monday night has been

order to go up against out of town

Harrisburg enthusiasts, will be in the
ring at the Orpheum next Wednesday
