<
With the near approach for start- j
ing preliminary practice and activity ,
on the part of Leo Groome and Man- ■ i
ager George Cockill, baseball fans are ! 1
showing old-time baseball spirit, j
Manager Cockill was scheduled to j .
arrive in Harrisbjtrg this afternoon, j l
Plans will be completed for sending 1
the Harrisburg squad to Bucknell next 1
week for practice. To-day's program 1
called for a conference between Man- 1
ager Cockill and a number of play- j
ers. It is expected that he will have j j
at least 20 players lined up for pre-! '
liminary work before leaving the'
city.
Leo Groome, the Harrisburg backer, ! :
and Abraham RosenblutTi owner of '
the Reading Club came to the city '
late yesterday afternoon and met! 1
Manager George W. lleckert of York, j
and Hank Ramsey the former Tri-1
State leader who was in charge of the '
old Altoona team.
Ramsey For Heading
It is probable that Manager Ramsey 1 !
will be identified with the Reading!'
team. He is very enthusiastic over ! 1
the prospects for the season and said: \ :
"This is the season for baseball and
I am anxious to get back into the;
gome." j 1
Speaking of conditions in the State 1
League, Mr. Rosenbluth said:
•"1 am more than pleased with thej
outlook. We have been up against I
some snags but so far have overcome
ali obstacles. We will get started on I
May 10. Territory is not lacking and
should any team fail TO materialize!
at the meeting, in Reading May 4,
there will be no difficult in tilling the j
vacancy. As the league will have!i
protection, there have been hundt-eds j
of applications received from players, j
and it looks like a fast game. Mr. j
Biooiri added:
"it is my intention to give Harris- j
burg the best possible in Tiaseball and i
with that end in view Manager Cock- [
ill and myself will sign tip a bunch |
of good men and fast younsters. The |
league will have protection. That is i
an important factor. Once the play
ers start work all doubts as to what !
is gofhg to happen will be removed.
It has not been an easy task to organ-1
; a baseball league."

WELLY'S A CORNER
Unless Coach Kirkpatrick can speed i
up his Central High relay candidates. ]
Harrisburg's representation at the 1
University of Pennsylvania Relay '
Carnival to-morrow will be one school
less. The only fast man available at I
Central is Houtz. The other mem- ;
bers of the regular team are back in ]
their studies. A large squad of <
substitutes were out yesterday and to- t
day, and every effort is being made i
to pick four speedy inen. , i
Harrisburg is again threatened j:
with a series of roller skating con
tests, and present indications are that
Mayor E. S. Meals will be requested l
to close one or more thoroughfares It
at intervals In the evenings, to permit '
skaters to enjoy the sport and partici- 11
pate in the matches. Miss Margaret l
Schoffstall, who has been prominent <
in exhibitions in North Fifth street I
challenges any skater for a series of (
matches to decide who is the cham- j 1
pion skater. She takes exception to ;
a recent publication that Harrisburg j I
did not have any fast skaters among
the fair sex.
According to an Associated Press i
dispatch from New York, another case i
of "Watch Skipping" has developed j
in connection with college boat ■
racing. In the mile and seven-eighths i
dual regatta at Princeton on April 20, 1 i
between the varsity eights of Harvard I
and Princeton, the time of the winning (
Princeton crew was announced as 9
minutes. 12% seconds. It is now
; stated that this is a full minute short
lof the actual time of the race. The ;
same thing happened at Poughkeepsie i
| last June.
The various shooting grounds on j i
I the outskirts of the city will again i
be crowded to-morrow with begin- j
j ners. The Tech, Harrisburg Academy j
J and Pennsylvania Railroad shooter's 11
will be out. Until the clubhouse is!

STANFORD STARTS CAMPAIGN '
Special to the Telegraph
I Palo Alto, Cal., April 28.—A cam- !
| paign to raise $7,000 to send the
varsity crew and track team East this
j year was begun yesterday by Stan
ford University student officials. Each
lof approximately 2,000 • student will
be asked for $2 and alumni are co
operating.
The fund is to defray the expenses

able to be accommodated at the traps.
However, within two weeks contests
will be arranged, and competition
promises to be keen.
Harrisburg is having plenty of base
ball and there is more to come. By
May 1 every amateur and semi
professional team will be in uniform.
One game that has been obsolete in
this sport has been high school con
tests. It was only a few years ago
when every high school in Harrisburg
and vicinity had a high school team.
Now they are a scarce article.
The Pennsylvania Railroad slafion
bowling team of the construction and
transportation, and maintenance of
way department athletic association,
will go to Coatesvllle to-night for the
tinal match between the Paoll team
of this association. One week ago
the Harrisburg bowlers went to
Coatesvllle but played only one game
because of the lateness of the Irftin
arriving from llarrisburg. The con
test to-night promises much interest.
Atlantic League officials who have
been clamoring about protection
might as well keep quiet. Their talk
ing will not bring the desired result.
As long as A 1 Lawson is connected
with the Atlantic l.eague protection is
impossible. Plainly speaking he Is
not popular with organized baseball.
One of the hardest workers In the
interest of the Pennsylvania State
League is Leo Groome owner of the
Harrisburg franchise. Had he been
associated with several good organ
izers in the beginning, there would be
no delays. However, he stuck to his
job and with Abraham Rosenbluth
aroused enough enthusiasm in many
cities. The State League will start on
May 10 and there will be some real
baseball until September 9. Air.
Groome takes everything cooly, and he
will spring something soon that will
island the Atlantic League backers on
I their heads.
