Phillies Lose Fortune
Through Downpour of Rain
Special to the Telegraph
Boston, Mass., July 5.—A conserv
ative estimate is that the rainstorm
which kept the Phillies and Braves
from playing either morning or after
noon cost the champions' owners about
$15,000 and Percy Haughton and his
associates $25,000.
Braves' field, the largest in America,
was built for holiday games and con
tests of critical series. The recent
spurt of Stallings' men regained every
adherent of the team which in 1914
started baseball by winning the pen
nant and world's series.
When the miracle men toppled over
the mighty Alexander on Monday the
fane were in a frenzy. The Braves
were on one of their old-time rushes
and no doubt 25,000 would have turned
out for the morning game and 40,000
In the afternoon, perhaps more.
The interest was here and the teams
had the park to accommodate bat
talions of fans, yet the program was
spoiled by a heavy rain. The money
lost will never be regained. There
won't be another Independence Day
■until next year. It is no wonder that
Percy Haughton and the visiting offi
cials were glum last night. The hazard
of baseball investment was never more
forcibly demonstrated than vesterday.

Philadelphia Girl Winner
in Western Swimming Races
Special to the Telegraph
San Francisco, Cal., July s.—Miss
Olga Dorfner, of Philadelphia, won the
woman's 100-yard national swimming
championship by covering the distance
in 1.08 3-5, which is a new American
record.
The raco was in a salt water tank.
She led the ontire way and beat Miss
Claire Galligan, of New York, who was
second, by a length. Miss Dorothy
Burns, of Los Angeles, was third. Miss
Frances Cowlee of San Francisco, was
fourth, and Miss Bernice Lane, of
Honolulu, fifth.
Miss Dorfner*s wonderful swimming
created a great impression on the larg
est crowd that has ever watohed an
aquatic event for many years in this
city. The other competitors remarked
on the power of her stroke, which she
attributes to gvmnasium work.
Miss Dorfner hersel* held the Ameri
can record prior to to-day. She awam
the distance in 1.09 3-6 last year at
Lafayette on the Schuylkill river.

Harrlsburg baseball fans rallied
yesterday. Notwithstanding there
were many counter attractions
throughout the city, and excursions to
many points, the attendance at Island
Park morning and afternoon was
gratifying. The attendance did not
reach former figures, but it is the be
lief that everybody who patronized
yesterday's games will be a booster,
ard that future games will be well
attended. Due to the fact that the
games scheduled for yesterday were
not officially announced until five
days ago, many arranged to go else
where.

Flynn yesterday was decisive.
There was some disappointment
over the failure to have a boxing show
for July 4, but those who know the
game are praising the ottlolals of the
Empire A. A. for the stand taken. It j
is the belief that Joe Hefferman was'
afraid to meet Frankie McCann. Joe i
Tierney had not received any notice'
of cancellation, and came here. The
local club kept its agreement with
him, and want It understood that it
will be fair play all the time. The pub
