HARRISBURG STARTS NEW YORK STATE LEAGUE BASEBALL GAMES ON THURSDAY
RESTA WINS AUTO
RACE AT CHICAGO
De Palma Loses Lead When
Engine Goes Bad; One
Minor Accident
Chicago, June 12. Dario Resta
yesterday won the second annual 300-
mile automobile derby at the Speed
way here. Ralph de Palma was sec
ond, nearly a lap behind the leader.
Resta's time was 3 hours 2 minutes
and 31 seconds, an average of 98.7
miles an hour. Chrlstiaens was third,
Vail fourth and O'Donnell fifth.
De Palma and Resta raced neck and
neck throughout the contest, but two
laps before the end De Palma de
veloped engine trouble and was forced
to go to the pits, losing his lead. Dur
ing the last 100 miles of the race, up
to the time that De Palma's engine
failed him, he and Resta raced almost
within reach of each other, first one
and then the other taking the lead.
Only one minor accident marred the
race. Just before the end of the con
test, as Galvin was taking a curve at
high speed his car skidded, swung
about and rolled into the fence on
the inner side of the track. Both
Galvin and his mechanician were
thrown out but neither suffered
serious injury.
Twenty-one cars faced the starter.
Several other cars had qualified, hut
were withdrawn, their backers saying
that they would not countenance Sun
day racing. Ralph Mulford also with
drew, but offered his car to Ricken
bacher, who drove it in yesterday's
race.
According to the announcement by
tlie management, almost 100,000 per
sons saw the race.

With the official approval of the
transfer of the Troy franchise to Har
risburg will come a revision of the
New York State League schedule. The
most important changes will probably
be in the games scheduled for July 4.
According to the original dates, Troy
and Albany alternate on July 4. This
is impossible with the transfer. If
Manager Cockill can convince the Al
bany backers that Harrisburg will
draw the largest crowd with a double
header on July 4, the games will be
scheduled here.

WELLY'S kCORNER
A little bit late, but a certainty, is
the announcement that Harrisburg is
to have a New York State League
baseball franchise. If the good name
of Harrisburg as a baseball town is to
be maintained, according to the gen
eral belief, local fans will have to keep
busy. The first opportunity offered to
them to get on the job came to-day
In the placing on sale of coupon books.
The greater the sale, the stronger will
come the assurance that Harrisburg is
at last In a league where it belongs.
Throughout the city unusual en
thusiasm is being shown over the
prospects for fast baseball during the
balance of the season. Manager
Cockill has given his word that he will
strengthen the Troy team and be up in
the race in the near future. Local
fans know he always keeps his word.
Another assurance that the new game
is a good thing is shown in the fact
that both George Cockill and Walter
Blair have taken half Interest in the
new team.
Halifax trimmed Marysville in the
Dauphin-Perry League series on Sat
urday. The visitors played a fault
less game and hit the ball at the right
time. Biever was a big factor, fanning
13 men and allowing but 3 hits. He
also hit the ball and fielded his po
sition in fine style. Ryan, at second
base, was a fielding star.
The Globe Right Posture baseball
league is in the field and will plav a
series of thirty-six games. John G. Och,
manager of the boys' clothing depart
ment at the Globe store, is president.
There will be five clubs, including the
Blues. Reds and Grays, of the Posture
aggregation, and the Arrow A. C. and
Harrisburg Juniors. Each team has
been uniformed and games will start
this week. Most of the games will be
played in the evenings. Holiday con
tests are scheduled for July 4 and
Labor Day and on Friday afternoons
when the stores Inaugurate the half
holiday Beason.
From Bunker to Bunker
Good old Number 7 on the Reservoir
course is "getting goats" with the
same frequency as in former years.
Many a man is said to have traced his
loss of religion to "Shorty."
We have yet to discover "a bug;" more
keen on golf than Is Warwick Ogels
by, whose ever present figure on the
links of the Colonial Country Club is
rapidly becoming one of the land
marks of that institution. His latest
acquisition is an attachment to his bag
whereby he can place It on the earth
and immediately two wings fly out
and act as braces like the feet of an
umbrella rack. It looks as though
Mr. Ogelsby were a believer In com
fort first.
Rumor hath It that this same golflst
uses a special pair of glasses that an
able him to concentrate on the ball
and see nothing else. On hearing this
it occurred to us that someone might
make a mint of money by inventing
a pair of magnifying glasses that
would enlarge the ball to the size of
a white 16-pound shot, after which
the request to "keep your eye on the
bail" would be unnnecessary, for to do
anything else were a physical impossi
bility.
Former Governor John K. Tener
played a couple rounds at the Harris
burg Country Club on Saturday with
Sam Todd and seemed to be in pretty
good form. He declared that he had
given up his wooden sticks and found
that he could get just as long a drive
with his irons. We believe him, judg
ing from results.
"The executive committee of the
Harrisburg Park Golf Club extends a
hearty invitation to every golfer in
Harrisburg to enter the annual compe
tition for the chamvionshlp of Harris
burg and hopes that the best players
of the country clubs will compete so
the winner may be the real champion
of this district." Such a cordial invi
tation will undoubtedly prove a brist
ling challenge to the pill-chasers of
the two clubs and should find a ready
response. The tournament started to
day.
As a special attraction to visitors,
the announcement that ground has
been broken for the new locker rooms
of the Harrisburg Park Golf Club at
Reservoir Park, permitting the instal
lation of hot water in the shower
room, will come as a pleasing shock
to enthusiasts of that club.
A match which excited considerable
interest among the players at Reser
voir on Saturday was that between the
popular professional, Stewart McEwan
and M. S. Kelley, well-known as an
amateur. A large crowd followed the
match which was won by McEwan on
the last green, one up.
Summer tournaments are getting
under way rapidly. The qualifying
play for the annual summer match
play at the Colonial Club started on
Saturday. Cups will be given to the
winners of each sixteen and each
eight.
The finish of the leap year tourna
ment at the Harrisburg Country Club
on Saturday found the two scratch
pairs with exactly the same score.
Robert McCreath and Miss M. Flem
ing, and W. C. Fownes and Mrs. W. H.
Gaither, both completed the eighteen
hole one ball two-some In 96, but Mr.
and Mrs. Howard Blngaman with an
18 handicap slipped Into first place.
MAHAN DEMANDS BONUS
Special to the Telegraph
Cleveland, Ohio, June 12.—Eddie Ma
han. Harvard's crack varsity pitcher, is
an amateur, but he has the professional
attitude, if what comes from Boston
is t.-ue.
According to the story, a "repre
sentative of Mahan" approached Lee
Fohl. manager of the Cleveland Amer
ican League club, and asked what
bonus he would give Mahan for sign
ing a contract.
"Bonus?" replied Fohl. "Get off your
foot. Tell this Mahan person to come
out to the ball park and let me look
him -over. If he's any good I'll give
him a trial. If he isn't, I'll take back
the uniform."
JINX FOLLOWS WARHOP
Special to the Telegraph
San Francisco, June 12.—Little Jack
Warhop, who was famous with the
Yankees just a few seasons ago, has
been turned adrift by Cliff Blanken
shlp, of the Salt Lake Bees.
Warhop cost the Bees a pretty
penny and was drawing a fat Balary,
but he could not win. When he was
with the Yankees Warhop was called
the hard luck pitcher of he big lea
gues. Few earned runs, were chalked
up against his record, but he was never
a winning pitcher.
ATLANTIC LEAGUES IS TOTTERING
Reading, Pa., June 12.—The Atlantic
League, organized by A 1 Lawson, Is
tottering and unless hot weather and
nioney arrive, may soon collapse. Law
son, now In Boson, lias thrown up the
sponge. Several oilier towns in the
league are la similarly bad shape.
JUNE 12, 1916.
The Empire Athletic Association
will meet to-night to complete the or
ganization. Officers have been elected
and the rules and regulations will
come up to-night for approval. The
matchmakers have been busy and ex
pect to announce a program that will
make local fans sit up and take notice.
The first entertainment is scheduled
for July 4.* Application for a charter
will be made next week.
Pitcher Winters, of the Rosewood
A. C„ has one of the best records of
any t.wirler in Harrisburg. Ho has not
been knocked out ol' the box this sea
son. The report that the Stanley A. C.
had hit him hard in a game last week
was incorrect. He succeeded Hain in
the box and held the Stanleys down.
Winters has been picked as a comer
and has been offered positions in
minor leagues, but prefers to remain
at home another season.
The Atlantic League may not last
until July 4, according to reports. In
every town the owners are selling out
and quitting the game. It is under
stood that the businessmen of Read
ing who have taken over the Lawson
interests are thinking seriously of get
ting busy with a proposition for a New
York State League team.
Newport won over Mlllersburg in
the Dauphin-Perry League on Sat
urday: score, 6 to 4. Rote and Buf
fington were the hard hitters. Rote is
playing a great game for Mlllersburg
at third base. Both these boys have
been factors in all games to date.
The Motive Power team of the
Pennsylvania Railroad League of this
city is a good second in the race. On
Saturday the locals won over the Bal
timore team; score, 7 to 0. Fry's ex
cellent pitching brought the victory
for the Harrisburg railroaders. The
fielding and hitting was far above that,
of Baltimore.
Benny Leonard Battles
With Jack Dundee Tonight
Special to the Telegraph
New York, June 12.—Benny Leonard,
the lightweight Idol of Manhattan, must
make good; his boast that he can knock
out Johnny Dundee, when these young
ring gladiators meet at Madison Square
Garden to-night. Ever since their last
meeting, Leonard has been claiming
that the next time he meets the
"Scotch-Wop," he can call the roundl in
which he will deliver the sleep wallop.
To the layman, whose opinion is un
biased, it looks as if Leonard Is im
bued with a little too much confidence.
TABER DKXIRS TRACK STORY.
Special to the Telegraph
Providence, R. 1,, June 12.—Norman
Taber, the holder of the world's rec-%
ord for the mile run, denies empha
tically that he has any intention of re
suming track work for the purpose of
trying for the quarter or half-mile
record.
On his return from Oxford Univer
sity over a year ago, Mr. Taber entered
a banking house in this city, and to all
Intents and purposes he has laid aside
the spiked shoes forever.
FRED HEIIRESHOFP LOSES
Special to the Telegraph
New York, June 12.—Oswald Klrby,
of Englewood, N. J., amateur golf
champion of New Jersey, won the Met
ropolitan Association title Saturday on
the links of the Nassau Country Club,
Glen Cove, L. 1., by defeating Fred
HerreshofC, of Garden City, 3 up In the
final round of 36 holes. Both of the
finalists have won the Metropolitan
honor in previous years and Herres
hofC was runner-up on two occasions
for the national amateur champion
ship.
FITTSBL'RGH LOSES SISLER
Special to the Telegraph
Cincinnati, Ohio, June 12.—The com
plaint of the Pittsburgh National Lea
gue Baseball Club against a decision
of the National Commission declaring
Player George Slsler, of the St. Louis
American League Club, a free agent
previous to his signing with St. Louis,
was dismissed by the National Base
ball Commission. The commission fur
ther directed the removal of this
player's name from the reservation list
of the Pittsburgh Club.
BASKETBALL STAR TO WED
Special to the Telegraph
Trenton, N. J„ June 12.—Mr. and Mrs.
Harry M. Tilten, of this city, announce
the engagement of their daughter. El
mire H. Tilten, to Rudolph L. Marshall,
also to Trenton. The wedding will
take place the latter part of June.
Marshall is a widely-known basketball
player, having been with the Trenton
Eastern League team and also with
several Independent clubs. He is in
business here.
COUGHLIX IS IN BAD
SpeXal to the Telegraph
Scranton, Pa., June 12.—Manager
Bill Coughlin, of the local New York
State League team, put through a deal
that does not find much favor with the
local fans. Last night he announced
having completed papers with Man
ager McConnell, of Utica, that call for
the .transfer of Mickey Corcoran, the
crack lnflelder of the locals, to Utica
in exchange for First Baseman Tony
Walsh. Manager Coughlin thinks it
is a good deal. The fans are of the
opinion that it is, too—for Utica.
