10 GRAMMAR SCHOOL TRACK MEET TODAY LEAGUE CHANCES RATHER GLOOMY Nonappearance of Leo Groom May Put Crimp in Plans For Fast Baseball Failure on the part of Leo Groom to reach Harrisburg yesterday as sched uled may interfere with a New York State League club coming here. No word has been received from Mr. Groom since his departure. It is the belief of his Mends that Tuesday be ing a legal holiday interfered with his plans, and that he will reach Harris burg sometime to-day. On what Groom intends to do to ward getting New York franchise de pends final arrangement for securing fast baseball, according to a statement made last night by a close friend of the New Yorker. It Is understood that President Karrell must know not later than to-morrow morning what Harris burg is willing to do. Because of the proposition submitted by Leo Groom to Manager George Cockill, the latter does not care to take any further action until he hears from the Pennsylvania Slate league pro moter. Claims Came First There are a number bills and claims unsettled in Harrisburg which must be loked after before there Is any chance for a New York State League team for this city. In addition to the bills there are also several protested checks to be ad justed. William R. Douglass, who was president of the Pennsylvania State League, said last night he would not take any action until he heard from Mr. Groom. He added, "There may be a reason for his nonappearance. I think he is adjusting financial matters and will be on hand in time to help along the efforts for a New York State league team." There are a number of local enthus iasts ready to take stock in an associa tion to back a Class B club, but those interested do not care to take any ac tion until they hear from Manager Cockili, and receive front hint a propo sition. The latter was expected to come to Harris burg- to-day providing Leo Groom was heard from. WENDELL a new "beauty" that'! make your eye twinkle with pleasure. COLLARS " Known as the Best" •10. P.

That this city wants fast baseball is evident by the interest taken in the movement to get Class B sport. To-day the chances are not very encouraging. Those who have expressed a willing ness to contribute ax-e getting tired waiting. If there Is a New York Stale I«eatuie team located in Harrisburg, it will have to be a strictly business proposi tion. Stockholders will not receive any inducements in the way of books for contributions. Those who take stock will go into the project with a view to putting Harrisburg on the baseball map in proper style. Books will be sold, but not for the purpose of making sure a baseball team. The delay in Retting proper weather conditions has had its effect on gram mar school athletes. These boys who are to-day holding their ninth annual track meet at Island Park, whll'e showing plenty of enthusiasm, have not had an opportunity to get into proper shape. Most of the training has been in school yards and open fields. Runners have been practicing on asphalt streets. Notwithstanding these drawbacks, it was expected that new records would be made in to-day's events. The anouncement that the Harris burg Sportsmen's Association woulld start a special weekly shoot for be ginners has brought to the front a number of candidates. The first shoot will be on June 10.

A shooter who has not shot at 500 targets prior to May 1, is eligible for the beginner's class. The St. Mary's team last night de feated the Dauphin A. C., score 8 to 7. The game was a fast exhibition. The yot.ng players showed remarkable form and their work was watched by a large crowd of spectators. It was a pitcher's battle and was played at Fourth and Seneca streets. The St. Mnry's team had Young Hershey on the mound. He fanned three men straight in the first inning. In the Allison Hill League series last evening the Stanley A. C. won over the Philadelphia and Reading team, score 14 to 2. The hitting of the Waltz Brothers for Stanley was one of the many Interesting features. Tl.ere were three home runs in the game. The Stanleys are showing im provement in each game and look strong as pennant winners. , According to newspaper reports things are not moving smoothly in the International League. Here Is a clipping from an Eastern paper: "Things are not any too bright ror the International. They are pulling boycotts in both Buffalo and Newark. In the latter town they wouldn't turn out for a team that won thirteen games In fourteen starts. In Buffalo a lot of fans wouldn't go under any conditions. Both towns, like Baltl ir.ore, were fooled into the belief that they were in a major league when they got Federal League franchises. They object to a minor league that plays far better ball."
