lantic City, and Edward Bortlett, of
Baltimore, who tied for third with i
93. Just before the close of the match
a strong easterly breeze began to blow i
and several noted gunners who were i
competing experienced some difliculty
in hitting the ••pesky" targets, when
the treacherous breeze sent Lh»m fly
ing off on a tangent.
Ralph Spots, of the Xew York A. C.,
amateur champion of America, did '
not have his shooting eye pealed. The
best he oould collect was 85. Charles
N. Newcomb, holder of the inter-State

TUESDAY EVENING,
• IWELLYS CORNER |
Rain put a crimp in th« attendance
at yesterday's baseball game. The
strike may also have been a factor.
However, there would have been more
fans present had there been definite
' information about the game. Local
! baseball fans do not like rain. They
also dislike to walk to Island Park,
get a rain check and return to the city.
According to a general belief there
1 should be a system for letting local
patrons know what is going on. Now
that telephones have been installed,
someone should be delegated to spend
bulletins to various places in the city,
telling what is going on.
Island park patrons are kicking loud
and long because there are no scores
of other Xew York State League games
hung up on the score board. The old
board In right field needs fixing up.
and Secretary Frank Seiss is waiting
for the completion of repairs in order
that he may start the other scores.
The removal of Creager yesterday
from the game because he used rosin,
was the first time the punishment has!
1 been meted out to a player in this.
; city. Rules of the League prohibit the i
use of anything on a baseball by a j
pitcher. Umpire Daugherty discov
ered the rosin when he tried to throw 1

HARRISBURG (dSfiftl TELEGRAPH
'DOUBLE-HEADER IS
j TODAY'S PROGRAM;
Harrisburg Unable to Hit; Lose
to Elmira; Binghamton
Here Thursday
Cockill's crew tackled Wtd Conroy's
pennajit chasers In a double-header
to-day. The first game started at 2 ;
o'clock with Huenke and Parsons on
the firing line for Harrisburg and |
Creagor and Jordon for Elmira. The I
final game of the series with the Con- j
roy bunch will be played to-morrow.
It it> probable that Downey, who has
been on the hospital list, will get into
the game to-day. Gough is still unable
to play. If there is a switch in the
line-up, Downey may go to first base.
Elmira expected to have Casey, the
new catcher, in the games to-day.
Uingluuuton Here Thursday
The next attraction will be Bing- !
hamton. with "Red" Calhoun. The
opening game on Thursday, weather
1 permitting, will be witnessed by a
| large crowd. Much interest is mani
| fested in the series with the Bingoes
: 'pecause of Calhoun's leadership. The
program for "Calhoun day" is working
out nicely. ,
In answer to many requests the 1
management will start the game Fri
day afternoon a 4. 2.30 o'clock. It will
be "Railroaders' day" and a big crowd
of rooters from the local shops and
roundhouses, with the usual large
\ turnout of trainmen, is expected.
Harrisburg: Lacks Hits
Failure to connect with Wilhelm's
puzzlers yesterday brought a defeat
for Harrisburg. Elmira won; score, 4
to 2. It was some fast battle, even if i
it was played between raindrops. The
wet grass made fielding rather diffl- '
cult. Elmira got all the lucky breaks.
Manager Wid Conroy started Creagor
in the box. He had a pocketful of
! rosin and was using it in place of
emery. League rules forbid the use of
, either and Umpire Daugherty put
, Pitcher Cteagor out of the game, wil-
I helm proved a good substitute.
Burns pitched for the Cockill bunch I
; and was wild at times. He was not hit
I hard; errors back of him figured in
two of the runs. Elmira hit timely, j

He said: "I do not know whether
he is coming at all." Herrmann would
not say what the "several points" are
