10 HARRISBURG IS FLIRTING WITH NEW YORK LEAGUE-HALL HAS COSTLY ERRORS STATE INSURANCE TEAM IS WINNER Take, ScYon-Inning Game From Labor and Industry De partment Players Seven innings of bloodthirsty base ball were played at Island Park yes terday afternoon between teams from the State Insurance Fund Department and the Department of Labor and In dustry. With the aid of Jacob Light ner, director of the bureau of employ ment of the Labor and Industry De partment, the Insurance Fund team v/on, score 7 to 6. Darkness, stiff joints and sore hands prevented the tinish of the game. The result was very unsatisfactory because of failure to play out the nine innings. To-day purses are being planned for a sec ond game. The money will be posted before the close of the week and a date an nounced. Capitol Is Deserted When 4 o'clock was announced by the clocks on Capitol Hill yesterday, every department was deserted. Crows were seen wending their way to Island Park. The game was the talk on Capitol Hill for weeks. The fair sex was not excluded from the gossip and they were a big army of rooters yesterday. They had no particular team as favorite, but picked out players on each teams for special cheers and applause. It was a regular pitcher's battle for three innings, when Dick, of the Labor and Industry Department made an aeroplane ascension. Errors back of him at third base and other places helped. "Bill" Rid dle retired in favor of Commissioner of Labor and Industry, John Price Jackson. The latter came too late to save the day for his boys, but played a wonderful game. The teams lined up as follows: Insurance Jacob Lightner, fired from the Labor and Industry team, pitcher;, Miller, catcher; W. W. Smith, first base; E. L. Smith, second base: Albert L. Allen, assistant manager of the State Insurance Fund, shortstop; Kehoe. third base: Finley. left field: Ellis, centerfield; Stephenson, right field.

LAWSON DENIES MERGER RUMORS Says Stories Are All "Bunk"; 1 Willing to Take in Harrisburg Special to the Telegraph Reading, Pa., May 25.—A1. W. Law- ; son. president of the Reading Atlantic League baseball club, put an abrupt end to his stay in New York on hear- j ing of the story that the two rival leagues wore to consolidate by inune- ! diatel.v rushing to this city to Inform ! the public that the rumor was abso lutely false and he branded it as "all bunk." He had intended remaining in New York until late to-day, but the story of alleged consolidation caused him to liurry home on Tuesday evening. He said the Atlantic Lieague has never considered such a thing and never will. Continuing, he stated: "Why should we consolidate with a league that is about to disband? It would mean that we would have to saddle all the debts contracted by the other fellows. Vtlantic l.eagtie Money-Maker "Every club on our circuit is milk ing money and there isn't a manager in our league who would agree to ••0111- bine with the other league. The other league is about to disband. There will be no consolidation as long as I am at the head of the local club. lam per fectly satisfied with the attendance at the games here. We have played to paying crowds every game at home and we will draw even better when the weather is more settled." Mr. Lawson is in favor of admitting Harrisburg. Lancaster or York to the Atlantic League circuit providing they can show strong financial backing. In case the State League disbands, Mr. Lawson will go after several of the players of the rival organisation, but will not touch them as long as the league continues. / V Big News Boiled Briefly For Busy Folk > / —Former Resident HI.

The I stories look plausible. Those men tioned as a part of the deal refuse to! talk. Fans would like to see fast base- j ! ball. According to reports the Penn sylvania State League will have to be | disposed of satisfactorily, all bills I paid, and sufficient backing furnished i j to assure success for Class H. baseball. Perhaps the reason for Secretary i Farrell withholding his action on pro | tections for the Pennsylvania State j j League may be duo to the fact that i there Is some foundation for the talk 'about transferring the Albany team to i Harrisburg. Whatever happens, Leo I Groom wants it understood that he has not changed his opinion about I the State organization. Hiram McGowan Simmers president \of the Enola Shop League team is i lining up a fast traveling organiza j tion. Star players from the four j league teams will be picked and sent jon the road. He is ready to arrange I for games in and out of the city, and I would like to have two games for j Decoration Day.

The Navy Regulations spill over with the. term. Search its pages for the words "Preparation for War." Weigh in youi own mind, what we shouM have to do on going to war. Remem ber that in every war the peace or \ ganization of our naval machine has broken down and a special temporary body had to be formed to plan at;d carry one the campaign.

As yet there are no ade quate plans of campaign, no trained perse nnel to man even the ships we have, and no adequate organization for increasing the personnel in time to be of use during a war suddenly de clared, no reserve to supply the wast- I age of war. Adequate provision for I supplies, munitions of war and their transport is yet wanting. There are ! many navy yards which are useless, j but no naval bases of any real use to j the fleet (none in the Pacific) in time of war. And the fleet, deficient in capital ships and auxiliaries, is insuf ficiently trained in war exercises, and it has no system of fleet battle tactics for combined operations.
