COCKILL'S CREW TO TRAIN AT BUCKNELL—FINAL PREPARATIONS FOR RELAY
FEDERAL STARS
SHOW BAT FORM
Major Hitters Have Not Reach
ed Stride; Joe Gedeon Re
comes Prominent
By Associated Prtss
New York, April 24. While the
big league players have hardly got
Into their stride for the long pennant
races, the batting averages for the
initial week of the schedules show
that the heavy hitters of the Federal
League have in a number of cases
been able to hammer out a place for
themselves among the .300 batters. In
the National League, Hal Chase in his
few games with Cincinnati has been
bitting at a .455 clip as against his
.284 in the Federal League last year.
Konetchy. of Boston, Is given .400
after batting .810 for the entire sea
eon of 1915.' Rariden. of New York
bit for .278 as a Federal, but since
donning a Giants' uniform he lins
climbed to .333. Benny Kauff, the
star of the Federals last year with
.344 is tied with Rariden at .383.
Federal Itfapie Star
The Federal League representation,
In the American League Is consider
ably less than that in the National
and the heavy hitters of the junior
league have crowded out of the .300
or better class, all of the independent
league players of 1915. Lee Magee,
former manager of the Brookfeds who
batted .330 a year ago, is the nearest
approach to the select class. At the
end of the initial week of play for
the New York Americans, Magee was
credited with .286.
"Home Run" Baker who came to
the same club from the Philadelphia
Athletics, after a year's lay-off due to
bis dispute over salary with Connie
Mark, showed that he has not lost his
batting eye by bitting for .385 as
against .319 in the American League
for the season of 1914. Joe Gedeon,,
■wlio came to the New York Americans
via the Federals without having
actually played with the latter organ
ization, also demonstrated his ability
to hit the ball hard and safe. His j
batting average while a member of j
the Salt Lake Club of the Pacific 1
Coast League in 1915 was .317. Pur- :
Ing his first week with the Yankees
be landed on the ball at a .400 clip.
New Railroad Ball Team
Includes Many Local Stars
Considerable Interest is centered in
the new Pennsylvania Railroad En- !
ginemen and Firemen's ream, on ac- |
count of the strong material from 1
which they have to select a lineup. {
The following former P. R. R. Y. M. i
C. A. stars are on the team:
O. E. Waltz who is captain; "Gor-'
don Ford," "Babe" Alcorn and I
"Cuurt" Harling; C. M. Richter the
star outfielder of Dauphin's team,
"Dick" Snell of New Cumberland,
"Eph" Klerner who showed such
pood form last season on the East
End team at short; Hits who played
with Newport and a goodly bunch of
newcomers.
Captain Waltz expects to have the
team in good shape by May 1. Man-,
ager R. A. Fulton is looking for a
number 1 of out-of-town games, butt
will also give-local fans an opportunity I
of witnessing a few good amateur'
games with this crack team.

New Track Records Cause
Big Stir in Eastern Circles
fly Associated Press
Philadelphia, April 24.—Results of j
i the relay races at Des Moines. lowa, i
I last Saturday when two world's ree- \
I ords were broken show that the West
will be more strongly represented at I
the University of Pennsylvania relays
on April 28-29 than had been antici- j
pated In this section of the country.
The showing of the Wisconsin ath- j
letes has made them a favorite here I
in the sprint medley over Harvard j
and Pennsylvania, who, it was thought, '
would have to fight it out for first,
place, and also In the mile relay.
In the special 220-yard university!
dash, the feature event of the pro
gram, Hoyt, of Grennell College, won j
In 21 2-5. According to Coaches Stagg, .
of Chicago, Farrell, of Michigan, and '
Gill, of Illinois, Hoyt's time represents I
a new world's record for the 220 on
a curved outdoor track.
The best previous record for 220 i
yards on a track similar to the Drake)
course was made by P. J. Walsh at I
Montreal, September 21, 1902. He ran I
in 21 3-5.
In the half-mile relay Wisconsin i
made the second world's record in ;
1.28 4-5.
Investigating Fire
Which Burned Office
Building in Washington
By Associated Press
Washington, April 24. lnvestig
ation was under way to-day to deter
mine the origin of the fire in the busi
ness district here last night which
burned out the general ofUce building
of the Southern Railway, destroying |
valuable records and doing damage
estimated from between SIOO,OOO and]
$150,000. Tl-.2 general theory is that
the blaze was due to spontaneous com-I
bustion or crossed electric wires.
A fireman was seriously injured by
the glass face of the clock in the!
tower of the building which fell upon,
him.
The three top floors of the six-story
building were destroyed and the lower
floors were flooded with water. Many
valuable records kept in fireproof
vaults were not damaged.

Harrisburg Players to Practice
at Bucknell; Twenty on List
Ready to Report
. Manager George Cockill returned to
1 Lewlsburg Saturday night with a
signed contract to look after Harris
burg's State League team this season.
Leo Groome. the owner, was always
certain of the popular leader, but held
off until he was sure of protection.
Arrangements were made to have all
players report to Manager Cockill at
Bucknell University the latter part of
this week. Kegular training will not
j start until Monday, May 1. Players
; who go to Lewisburg this week will
practice with the Bucknell varsity
: squad. The first preliminary game
will be played in Harrisburg Saturday,
May 6, probably with the Motive
Power team of the Pennsylvania Rail
road.
Twenty Players On List
To date Manager Cockill has signed
| twenty players, but will not make pub
; lie his complete line-up until all con
| tracts have been received. To-day he
was the guest of his former teammate
! and partner, Hill Coughiin, manager
of the Scranton New York State
League team. Manager Coughiin has
promised to give Manager Cockill all
suiplus players.
Among players signed for the local
team are "Eddie" Elliott, a second
baseman, who has been making a big
hit in the West; Stutzman, a fast boy
of Mount Carmel; White, the Lebanon
Valley College pitcher, and he expects
to have Eddie Rote, the local scholas
tic star, with him. Negotiations are
also on for Pitchers Winter and Ben
ner and Infielder Hocker, local stars.
FINAL TRYOUTS
FOR RELAY MEET
To Pick Local High School
Teams This Week; Former
Winner With Penn State
Track athletics will receive close
attention at the local high schools this
week. Inability to get sufficient out
door practice has delayed the picking
of relay teams for the University of
Pennsylvania Carnival next Friday
and Saturday. The Harrisburg Acad
emy team will be elected to-morrow.
Tech athletes who will go to Phila
delphia will be picked from a squad
of ten runners, each of whom has
shown good work. Local coaches have
been unable to get a line on speed
and for this reason do not care to
make a selection until It is known
what each boy can do.
Additional interest is manifested In
the carnival this year because former
high school athletes are among the
entries. Clarence Beck, Tech's last
season all-around athlete and "Fat"
Clark, the former Central football
star will wear Penn-State colors.
Beck has entered in the Javelin,
throwing the discus, broad jump, 200
meter dash and 1,500 meter run.
Clark again promises to be prominent
in the weight events.
Marysville Loses First Game;
Errors Feature Opening Bill
Special to the Telegraph
Marysville, Pa., April 24. The
Marysville Dauphin-Perry League
team lost their opening exhibition
game of the season to the Baker A.
C., of Stoelton on Saturday by a 8-6
score. The game was dull and inter
esting at times. The chief attention
of the two hundred fans who occupied
bleachers, grandstand and sidelines
was chiefly centered on keeping them
selves warm.
The weather was cold and neither
side was able to do their best work.
Marysville did not have all their pros
pective players out, because of a mis
understanding caused by the bad
weather conditions.

WILSON OF CRIME
[Continued from First Page]
he said with his "eyes open." Rasing
his statement on the crisis which this
country faces and the danger of war
if Germany refuses to meet o.ir de
mands, the Colonel said, referring to
his sons:
"I would far ratlier see them dead
than see them flinch from their duty
when the honor of our people Is con
cerned. But If we now go to war these
young men and all their fellows will
die In thousands of fever and dysentery
and lung trouble In the camps because
we have not prepared in advance, be
cause they and those who would lead,
and care for them have not been train
ed in advance.
"They will be butchered needlessly In
battle because we have failed to pre
pare masses of artillery and machine
guns and motor trucks and shells and
aeroplanes, and have failed to provide
and train the men who shall manage
all the formidable and delicate mech
anism of war.
"Twenty-one months have passed
since the great war began, and during
all this time we have not prepared In
even the smallest degre in order, if
possible, to avert war from us, or, if it
could not be averted, to wage It effi
ciently and successfully.
"The pacifists and antlpreparedness
people have had their will, and our
rulers at \\ ashington have bowed to
them and left us helpless; and wuj,
fWELLYS€|cORNER
Amateurs did not get a good start
Saturday. The cool weather and rain
kept many local stars indoors. Most
of the games were practically played
between nines picked from squads
that were out practicing. 4 Four or five
days of real warm weather is neces
sary to put the ruture greats in trim.
The Lucknow Shop League started
the season to-day. A large crowd was
on hand to see the opening of the five
game league. This year the four |
teams will contest for a handsome!
silver trophy presented by E. Z. !
Gross. City Commissioner, and Super- '
lntendent of Parks.
Manager Pat Moran of the Phillies'
and Connie Mack, leader of the
Athletics announce that no change l
will be made in the teams for the i
present. Catcher Killifer is said to
have recovered his throwing arm, and
and Mack's pitchers are looming up
stronger In each game.
The demand for professional ten
nis instructors is increasing with each
succeeding season and there is every
Indication that the supply will prove
entirely Inadequate during the com
ing summer. Every English coach
now in the United States is tied up
with some prominent club, and under
conditions that will mean a big cash
, ofter to get them to change positions.

months ago we had so acted that Ger

twenty-one months, we have railed to

Penn's varsity crew triumphed over,

when I think of the young men my
heart grows bitter that their fine and
gallant lives should be sacrificed, not

folly."
The Colonel's statement was made
after a careful consideration of the
Wilson Administration since the Euro

the President which the Colonel con
sidered verging on hypocrisy because of
the Administration's failure to carry
out an adequate preparedness program
served also to rouse him.
