FARRELL LEAGUE AFTER THIS CITY Hopes Some One Will Come Across With Cash For Their Franchise Throughout New York State League circles there Is a strong belief that Harrisburg will land the Troy fran chise. In this city boosters are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Manager Cockill, and some indication that Harrisburg has a chance, and will produce the backing. A dispatch from Scranton says: Wacliter Is Willing "Lew Waehter, owner of the Troy team of the New York State League, refused to state to-day whether he has agreed to sell the team to the Har risburg men, who have raised part of the money to buy it. It is understood however, that Waehter will sell out quickly if the Harrisburg buyers come across with the $3,000 price that Lew has set on the franchise. The Trojans have not been drawing either at home or on the road and Waehter is looking for a spot to fall. That the Harrisburg group is in earn est is evidenced by the fact that they have already succeeded in collecting J 1,300 and expect to get the rest of it by the end of the week. It is un derstood that they have been given two weeks in which to close the deal, and then it is hinted Waehter wilt sell, whether President Karrell and the State League managers like it or not. Tinker Hands Out Slips to Mike Doolan and Yerkes Special to the Telegraph Philadelphia, Pa., June 8. A bolt of lightning struck the camp of the Cubs yesterday. In a low whisper, Press Agent John Seys announced that Shortstop Mike Doolan and Sec ond Baseman Steve Yerkes had been sold to the Atlanta club, of the Southern League. The players im mediately left for Dixie. A week ago Manager Joe Tinker asked for waivers on the two veter ans. When he arrived here he was notified that the seven other National League clubs and the eight major league teams had waived claim to Doolan and Yerkes, which left him free to close the deal with Atlanta. Tinker had to take this action to keep within the twenty-one-player limit. Edward Mulligan, his 21-year old* St. Louis rookie, who has been tried off and on at short since last season, becomes permanent, guardian of the post, while Alexander Mc- Carthy, who is not much bigger than Joe Tinker's Elk charm, will have exclusive charge of the second-basing rights on the team. Zimmerman, of course, stays at -third, and Victor Saler will be found at first as usual. PAST CHANCELLORS ELECT Special to the Telegraph Mechanicsburg, Pa., June 8.

COACH COURTNEY TO QUIT ACTIVITY Last Year at Cornell; May Con tinue as Adviser; Probable Successor I Poughkeepsle, N. V., June 8. Charles E. Courtney, Cornell's rowing ] coach for the last 30 years, announced yesterday that he would retire from active coaching after the races here on June 17. although he might act in an advisory capacity thereafter. Courtney, it will be remembered, [fractured his skull on his way here la year ago and spent six weeks in the hospital the past year recovering his : health, and though he has been acting in an advisory and partially active capacity for the last season it has i been against the wishes of his doc j tors. The Cornell crews have been in charge of John Hoyle, coach of the Cornel] freshmen eights and one who thoroughly understands the "Old Man's idea of rowing." Now that Courtney, who is 69 years of age, is not to be the active Cornel! coach, another year of specu lation is rife as to who is to succeed the master, for he has truly proved himself the possessor of such a title in the intercollegiate rowing circles.

WELLYS k CORNER i Sensations were in order in rowing I circles yesterday. The announcement that Courtney would quit activity at Cornell was expected but not so soon. It was the belief that he would hold with the Ithacans In some position at least for another year. They want him stronger than an advisor. Penn was all wrought up yesterday over the results of a four-mile race be tween the Varsity and Junior eights. The latter ran away with the event, making it in 21.02. In the afternoon the trick was repeated notwithstand ing that both crews were warned not to race. Indications are there will be a lively skirmish for basketball dates this sea son. The Harrisburg Basketball Asso ciation will again be in the field, and with prospects of two additional teams In the Central Pennsylvania Scholastic League, there will be few open dates at Chestnut Street Auditorium. A number of college games have been booked by alumni associations, Includ ing a game with Yale varsity five. The Empire Athletic Association is also ar ranging a schedule for an entertaining sport program every week. President Emory C. Lutz, of the Dauphin-Perry League has announced a change in rules governing players. The clause allowing only three non resident players on each team, to play at one time, was retained. The new rule permits seven nonresident players on the list. t Newspapers in the East are saying Smokers Are Lighting King Oscar 5c Cigars One Right After Another This 25-year-old quality brand is giving satisfac tion to thousands of smokers daily -:- Are You Letting This Good Thing Pass By ? JOHN C. HERMAN & CO. Harrisburg, Pa. nMWIII many nice things about. President John G. Martin of the Harrisburg Sportsmen's Association, who made a record of 150 straight breaks in a tar get shoot at t'atawlssa. It was the greatest exhibition of target shooting seen in Central Pennsylvania in many months. The Philadelphia Inquirer says: "Martin's marksmanship was superb from the start. He centered every one of his targets and there « never was the semblance of doubt as to the killing of his bird. He drew many a hard quartering clay, but they were smashed just as easily as the straightaways. It was phenomenal shooting and when the Harrisburg crack finished his 150 breaks he was given an ovation by the gunners and the spectators." Rain kept the Athletics idle yester day. Manager Connie Mack put in the day telling about the prospects for his team and praising players. He predicts a gerat future for Meyers, the former Mechanicsburger. It is seldom Mack says much about players, and his predictions regarding Meyers is looked upon as being unusual. It is nearly two weeks since Leo Groom left Harrisburg after announc ing his intention to return to the city and square his debts. There are still four bad checks, one of them Issued by Mr. Groom that must be settled. Creditors who have been waiting for a settlement are of the opinion that criminal action should have been taken against the bad check men. The amount of cash given as security may not cover all claims. 13
