AN ALL-STAR SHOW FOR JULY 4-THINGS SAID ON FARRELL CIRCUIT ABOUT CITY
FIRST BIG SHOW
BY EMPIRE A. A.
Wind-up Feature Strongest
Ever Offered Local Patrons;
All-Star Bill For July 4
Harrisburg's first boxing show un
der the direction of the Empire
Athletic Association will be an all-star
offering. It. will probably be held at
Chestnut Street Auditorium at night.
The first Intention was to have it in
the afternoon at Island Park. The
baseball games will prevent this plan
being carried out.
Johnny Kilbane the champion, was
booked for appearance In Harrisburg,
but he specified in his contract that
he would not meet certain contenders.
This made it impossible to arrange a
match unless a novice was put In
against the champion. As all bouts
by this association must he evenly
matched, it would not have been fair
to local patrons. The price asked by
Kilbane was agreed to.
Strong; Windup Feature
In the event of the games being
played in Albany it is planned to
carry out the afternoon program. The
windup feature will be between Joe
Heiterman of Philadelphia and
Frankie McCann of Rochester, New
York. Fight fans know these boys
as two of the best in thetr class. Each
has a reputation for delivering the
poods.
The semiwindup will be between
Joe Tierney of New York and Young
O'Neill of Scranton. This match, it Is
believed, could not have been ar
ranged for other dates, as both boys
have a long -list of engagements and
intended to train during the summer
foi Fall battles. Frankie Erne of
Lancaster will meet A 1 Murphy of
Scranton.
These bovs gave a great exhibition
several weeks ago, and their battle is
still the talk of the town. Erne is now
ir> training and anxious to square
things for the beating he received
from Murphy. There will be no
change in prices. Seats will be on
sole four days in advance. Tickets
rim be had by next Monday.

FAVORABLE COMMENT COMES
FROM THE NEW YORK CIRCUIT
No Games Yesterday Because of Rain; Await Orders For
Double-Headers; Good Words From Wilkes-Barre
No sanies were played in the New
i'ork State League yesterday. The
schedule for to-day will be the same.
An order is awaited from President
Farrell starting double-headers, as
there are a large number of postponed
games piled up.
Harrisburg moves to Syracuse to
morrow and will not return until Tues
day, when the opening game will be
played here with Wilkes-Barre. Man
ager George Cockill is still in the city
arranging details for the first game
and negotiating with prospective new
players. Until the team reaches Har
risburg. Lew Wachter will look after
the business management and act as
secretary. Walter Blair will have
charge of the team on the field.
Favorable Comment
Much favorable comment is heard
from all over the circuit regarding
Harrisburg. Tt is said the only oppo
nents were Albany and Syracuse. Mike
O'Neil. manager of the latter, was
afraid of expensive jumps. The
Wilkes-Barre Record prints the fol
lowing:
"Scranton and Wilkes-Barre have
voted in favor of Harrisburg as have
a majority of the clubs. It will cost
the Utica club about $356 to make the
trip to Harrisburg, and, should there
be small crowds or rain so only the
guarantee would be received, the Utes
would get but $225 on a three days'
stand. Which means a loss of quite a
bit of money for the local club, of
course it is much more handy for the
Wilkes-Barre. Scranton. Binghamton
and Elmira clubs ana would not mean
Cornell Freshmen Win
Final Poughkeepsie Race
Special to the Telegraph
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 20.—A
powerful Cornell freshman eight pre
vented Syracuse from making a clean
sweep of the three races of the an
nual intercollegiate regatta here by
pulling their frail craft to victory in
the freshman two-ml'.e race yesterday.
The Ithacans were two lengths ahead
of Syracuse, whose shell nosed in front
of Pennsylvania by a scant foot. Co
lumbia was a poor fourth, ten lengths
behind.
The official times were: Cornell,
1 1.05 4-5; Syracuse. 11.15 3-5; Penn
sylvania. 11.16 1-5; Columbia, 11.20 2-5.
The race to-day was postponed from
Saturday on account of the unfavor
able weather conditions on regatta
day. The water was only a trifle bet
ter when the crews came up the river
to the starting point at noon to-day,
but no further delay was possible. On
Saturday Syracuse won both the Junior
afid varsity races, with Cornell second
in each event.

Special to the Telegraph
New York, June 20.—Harry Sallee.
star pitcher of the St. Louts National
: League team, has been indefinitely sus
pended by Manager Miller Huggins
i following the altercation between the
| player and manager last week. Dur
ing the argument, it is said, Sallee tore
up his contract and later left the city.
"Sallee has been disgruntled and
dissatisfied for some time," Huggins
said. "He had not broken training,
however. There have been rumors for
some time that he was to be pur
chased by the New York club and
these reports added to his dissatisfac
tion with the St. Louis club.
"There was no foundation for the
reports, as the New York club does
not tamper with players. There is no
deal on in which Sallee is involved and
he will not be sold or traded to any
club."

Craig Biddle, of Merion, and the New

annual tournament, played yesterday
on the courts of the Merlon Cricket
Club at Haverford.
Biddle put up an unexpected strong!
game and as Davis was a bit slow in i
getting started and somewhat wild and
erratic in his play before he settled
down, Biddle won the first set by seven
games to five. This seemed to put Da
vis on his mettle, however, for he
sailed in and won the second set by !
breaking through Biddle's serve on the
second game, and as he won his own !
service in 'the first and third games, he
jogged along to an easy victory by six
games to three. For even if Biddle
did carry off his service in the next
three games, Davis had too much of
an "edge" for Biddle to hope to catch
him. Summary:

Just why Mike O'Neill should be j

When he played here O'Neill was

sidered the inflicting of a heavy fine

tice to other clubs that such announce

One of the largest weekday crowds
of the season atended the game, drawn
partly, it is presumed, by the news
that in Walsh's attempt to come back
