8 BASEBALL, TRACK, AUTO AND MOTORCYCLE RACES HOLD EYES OF SPORT WORLD WISCONSIN QUITS WITH NEW YORK Charges Commissioners of Me tropolis With Failure to Punish Freddie "Welsh Special fo the Telegraph Milwaukee, Wis., May 30.—The Wis consin boxing oommlsslon yesterday broke away from a working agree ment with the New York boxing com mission. This action was taken fol lowing the refusal of the New York body to observe the ruling made re cently whereby Freddie Welsh, light weight champion, was suspended for four months from taking part in a contest In Wisconsin for delaying the recent contest with Ever Hammer. The agreement entered into by the two boards several months ago pro vided for recognition of suspensions by both commissions should either deem it necessary to punish a boxer for Infraction of rules. Chairman Walter Llglnger, in a let ter to Fred A. Wenck, chairman of the New York commission, reproved the Empire State body for having taken action before learning the na ture of the evidence submitted in Welsh's case. The communication de clared in adroitly couched terms that the New York commission «u In fluenced by "one (meaning Welsh's manager, Harry Pollock) who origi nally caused the complaint." The suspension of Welsh followed his bout with Hammer here, when Welsh kept spectators waiting half an hour before appearing In the ring. In explanation of the delay Pollock de clared it was understood that the champion was to receive $1,500 and that upon asking for the purse before the bout found that the amount to taled only $l,lOO. Welsh was found guilty of violating the rule which requires contestants and cluhs to enter into written con tracts and of having failed to post a forfeit. t \ Want Amateur Scores Immediately After Game Managers of amateur and semi professional baseball teams are re quested to send full box scores to the offlce of the Telegraph imme diately after the games.

WITH BARED HEADS CITY PAYS TRIBUTE [Continued From First Page] I were taken care of yesterday the big program opened this morning when several hundred youngsters of Tech |nical high school marched to the Sol- Jdiers and Sailors' monument at State !and Second street and placed a great j wreath of roses at the base of that I pile. The placing of the wreath is to be an annual event. Then, the Parade Then at 1.30 o'clock this afternoon, was "the parade " I As the old soldiers each year ap jproach nearer to ever-growing ranks of the Grand Army that is marching | beyond the veil, is it just imagination lor is that queer feeling In your throat and about your eyes, real? Say, for I instance, to-day when the tiring squad | of Post 58 marched by? Or when you I noticed that the train of autos that carried the "veterans unable to march" jwas much longer than last year? Or when you turned to your companion and surprisedly asked where "old Ben So-'n-So was" or why "old Sergeant, etc., wasn't in the parade?" By 1 o'clock the marchers were pretty well assembled and half an hour j later the column started cn its riarch to the Harrisburg cemetery from Front and Market streets. George L. Sel i lers, chief marshal, with William D. Rhoads, chief of staff, led the way. What l)lrt (he Chimes Kay? On out Market to Fourth the col umn trudged and as it swung into Fourth street, the chimes of Old Zion church pealed out a tribute to the pas sing warriors. Then on over the Mul berry street viaduct—of late years the | marshals in mapping out the parade routes, have seen fit to eliminate Mar ket and State street hills. They're growing a little more tedious each year to climb. Here is the order in which the vet erans and those who paraded in their honor, marched: The Marchers Platoon of police, chief marshal, George L. Sellers; chief of staff, William D. Rhoads; assistant mar jshal, E. Laubenstein; aids,. Charles 'Beaxer, F. H. Hoy, C. H. H6uck, R. ! A. Fulton, F. Newcomer, F. Drucker, jW. E. McDaniel, H. D. Myers and E. L. Wagner.

Hoy, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Empire Makes Record Transcontinental Run When Bobby Hammond, drlslng an Empire car from San Francisco, landed in New York at 1.59 p. in. May 23, he established a new trans continental record of 6 days 10 hours 58 minutes, clipping 25 hours from the best previous time for a tour from coast to coast. Hammond left San Francisco at 12.01 a. m. Wednesday. May 17, carry ing a United States mail sack contain ing 'greetings from Mayor Rolfe, of Saji Francisco, to Mayor Mitchel, at New York. Practically without stop he drove to Ogden, Utah, in 36 hours; thence the route was via Cheyenne, Omaha, Clinton, Fort Wayne. Canton, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia to New York. The direct mileage on this route is 3,485 miles, or about 80 miles far ther than the southern route. This gives an average speed of about 22.50 miles per hour. It Is the course of the Lincoln Highway, and the record, therefore, stands also for his trans continental road. Outside of Ham mond's run from Frisco to Ogden, the fourth day's run was the most sensational, when, without companion, he drove from Omaha, Neb., to Elk hart, Ind., over 600 miles, In about 17 hours. Hammond and Wasson carried their mall sack to the mayor's office upon arrival In New York, where, In the absence of the executive, Secretary Martin broke the seal and emptied the sack. Only once on the long trip did Hammond run foul of the authori ties. This was nearly the end of his trip in Jersey City, when he was ar rested for speeding, but was released on cash bail; but for this delay and an accident near Pittsburgh, he prob ably would have taken other hours ofl the record. The Empire driven on the record breaking tour was a regular Empire chassis fitted with passenger type body and extra tanks for gasoline, oil and water. The car is the lowest priced machine which has ever held the transcontinental record or even gone after the mark. Except for the loss of one head lamp, the car was in ex cellent condition on arrival here. Hammond figures his gasoline con sumption as 14 miles to the gallon, ex cept in mountains, where the average was cut to 11 miles. This performance stamps Bobby Hammond as the champion distance driver of the world. Immediately upon completion of the trip he wired the Empire Automobile Company as follows: "With your good work and good wishes, broke world's record from San Francisco to New York with your car. Am satisfied that I can get any record the Empire company wants. Best wishes for success." commanding; Commonwealth band; Post No. 58, G. A. R., F. H. Eckel man, commanding; Sons of Veterans' drum corps; Post No. 116, G. A. R., William A. Moore, commanding; Per severance band; Post No. 500, G. A. R., J. M. Auter, commanding; car riages and automobiles bearing speak ers and veterans unable to march. At Thirteenth and Derry streets, the column halted for a brief moment—to permit the first division to swing off toward Mt. Calvary Catholic cemetery. Post 520 marched on to Lincoln ceme tery to lay its flowers and fire its sa lutes and call its "taps" over the graves of colored heroes, and then the second division marched on to the Harrisburg cemetery. As the right of the line passed through the entrance the musicians ceased their brisk rag-time for a mo ment—and then the band swung into the majestic strains of the military funeral march from "Saul." "Shure.Tom," softly murmured a sil very haired veteran of a famous Irish brigade to his companion with an empty sleeve, "SJiure, me hoy, • and whin they play thot fer ye, all yer dibts is paid " In the cemetery the soldiers "gripund arms" and the exercises began. The Rev. A. M. Stamets, pastor of Augs burg Lutheran church opened the pro gram with a prayer. With the same thrilling note that the veterans heeded it under widely different circumstances 50 odd years ago, Miss Irene Wagner sounded the "assembly" on her bugle. When you hear Miss Wagner "call" you regretfully wonder why it is that you couldn't get that appointment to West Point. The Memorial day oration was deliv ered by the Rev. H. A. W. Hanson, pastor of Messiah Lutheran church. In paying eloquent tribute to both the living and the dead heroes who helped keep the necessary number of stars in the flag, sounded a note of warning as to the duty of those who are following, to keep the same old flag intact, untarnished and free from insult and slur. Chaplain Huggins of Post 58 offered a prayer and W. H. Moore, delivered another stirring ad dress. General John A. Logan's Me morial day order was read by N. A. Walmer, adjutant of Post 58 and Lin coln's address at the dedication of the national cemetery at Gettysburg, waS delivered by J. D. Saltzman. Then the veterans scattered in twos and threes and little squads to place the flowers and firing squads moved off to various parts of the cemetery. Soon the hills 'round about re-echoed with the rattle of salutes. And now and then after the volleys, one heard the piercingly sweet call of— "Taps!" FRANK R. BOWMAN Funeral services for Frank R. Bow man, who died in the Harrlsburg Hos pital yesterday morning will he held at his home, 616 North Eighteenth street, to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock. The body will be taken to Halifax by Un dertaker C. H. Matik, Sixth and Kelker streets, for burial. UP TO FARRELL ON LEAGUE DEAL Proposition Must Come First From New York State Leader No real news reached Harrisburg yesterday about the New York State | League locating in Harrisburg. Mana-j ger George Cockill was here and had a ] conference with some of the officials of the Pennsylvania Exhibition Com- i pany regarding the transfer of the lease of the Island Park grounds. There a conference on Sunday. What happened is a secret with Pres ident Farrell of the New York State League. One thing was assured. Harrisburg's entrance into Class B baseball does not depend upon Read ing or any other city joining in the j movement. Of course, it is a well- j known fact that either Reading or; York would prove good rival towns. 1 York's Offer a Surprise The surprises yesterday was the. business-like offer from York. There appears to be a feeling against Mana-1 ger Heckert. notwithstanding he gave York the only successful baseball the i city ever had. Reading's promoters j are unknown to Manager Cockill. If! Reading wants to come on. there will have to be something doing soon. Harrisburg is ready to make good, j The proposition must come from Pres- , ident Farrell. It is understood the franchise must he purchased outright., and that it wil have to be a cash transaction. More definite informa- j tion is expected within the next 10! days.
