MANAGER COCKUL
OUTLINES PLANS
Tells Conditions Under Which
New \ork State League
Will Send Club
If Harrisburg wants New Tork
' State League baseball. It Is up to local
fans. According to an opinion ex
pressed by Manager George Cocklll
yesterday, "everybody may not be In
a position to aid financially, but they
can boost, and show by their boost
ins: and later by patronage that this
city wants good sport."
Manager Cocklll came to Harris
burg yesterday expecting to meet
Groom. While in the city he con
ferred with a number of businessmen
and was more than pleased with the
encouragement received. He has a
good proposition from President Far
rell of the New York State League
and would like to close a deal within
the next two weeks.
It is proposed to call a meeUng and
ascertain how much stock will be sub
scribed tor. Manager Cockill was
giveit a list of 10 businessmen who are
re.idv to take stock, as soon as it is
shown the New York State League is
ready to transfer a franchise.
C4ub Conies to Stay
It must be understood that if a club
is placed in Harrisburg it is here to
s.ay. It will not be a repetition of the
Inurnatlonal League game played
last season. Two franchises are on
the market, but it is understood that
Le v Wachter's wanderers who were
driven out of Troy by poor patronage,
will come here if sufficient backing is
secured. Manager Cocklll said:
"We must have a regularly organ
ized corporation. If there are any
person® in Harrisburg willing to take
stock I wish they would inform me
through the Telegraph. As soon as I
know under what conditions a club
may be secured I will be slad to meet
those willing to back a team."
Persons desiring to join in the
movement to get Class R baseball may
communicate with the Sporting Editor
of the Telegraph. It is desired that
something definite be known in time
to start the game on or about June 15.

Signs College Players to
Strengthen Athletic Team
Sfecial to the Telegraph
Philadelphia, June 2.—According to
a report circulated yesterday, Connie
Mack will have eight college players
with his team when the Athletics re
turn from the western trip. One of
the players is Captain La wry, of the
University of Maine, and another is
"Jing" Johnson, o;' Ursinus College.
The latter is a pitcher and in a game
on Wednesday fanned seventeen men.
Manager Mack is reported to have
said he intended to keep Lawry on the
bench for a time in order to give him
a chance to learn the style of play in
the major leagues. Mack did the same
thing with Eddie Collins when he first
got him from Columbia College. Mack
expects Lawry to prove one of the
greatest players thai ever came from
the college ranks and says he has sev
eral others who are sure to make good.
Wally Schang. who was hit on the
hand by a pitched ball at Washington,
will very likely be out of the game for
some time. The Athletics left for the
West last night and will open the
series at St. Louis to-morrow.
