SNAPPY WORK IS
VICTORY FEATURE
Harrisburg Takes Game From
Bisons; Star Work by
Cook at Second
Winning yesterday's game from
Binghamton, score 6 to 2. Harrisburg
put up a game that would have been
a credit to any major league aggrega
tion. Walter Blair has his players do
ing sensational stunts In every inning.
It was worth the price of admission to
a dozen games to see an exhibition like
that offered by Harrisburg.
Parsons pitched and had several
brief intervals of weakness, but back
of bim was a loyal team. Hard hot
balls, labeled for two and three bases,
and several for home runs, were nip
ped by inflelders. and the outfield stars.
Cook was the sensational boy. Mills,
Elliott and Beed were in evidence,
too.
Binghamton Fights Hard
Binghamton was not an easy victim
by any means. Rapp pitched a good
game and was prominent in fielding.
Pepe and Brackett were fielding stars
for the Bingoes. The two runs by the
visitors came in the fifth on two sin
gles, and a pass, with long throws from
outfield.
Harrisburg opened with three runs
on two hits, sacrifice and error and
sacrifice fly; scored one in the fourth
on a hit by pitcher sacrifice and single;
and two in the seventh on two singles,
pass, sacrificed and stolen base. The

Island Pickups
Top notch baseball.
Baseball fans who miss the games
these days will be sorry.
Cook was a real robber at second
pulling in hits.
Blair's work on the coachline is a
big factor and interesting feature.
Those one handers of Cook's made
the crowd cheer.
Brown's foul catch along the fence
was one of the many sensational plays.
They happen every day.
Harrison covers his territory with
lightning speed
Mills had a hot yesterday. He is
coming round. This boy is moving
some at first base.
Xo games until next Saturday. Then
see both games with Utica.
Local patrons are overlooking many
good bets these days.
Brackett is a great star for the
Binghamton team.
"Red" Calhoun said last night, "I
will have to hand it to Blair and Cock
-111. They have a fast team."
Reed is keeping on all sides of third
sack these days.
There ought to be 1,000 people at
every game. The sport is as good as
any International game played last
season.

The U. S. War Department has just placed
an order for 198 additional Packard Chainlets
Motor Trucks, making a total of 716 Packards,
valued at more than $2,000,000, purchased by the
government since March 20, 1916.
This sixth repeat order, calling for more than
half a million dollars' worth of trucks, is based
solely on the performance of other Packards
already in the field with the U. S. Army.
The terrific grind of border service has proved
the superiority of Packard transportation for
military work, just as strenuous, every-day haul
ing in every line of trade has made the Packard
supreme in the commercial world.
It is highly significant that a very large pro
portion of the Packard trucks produced are being
absorbed by repeat orders from satisfied owners
of Packard equipment.

TWO NEW MARKS
ON GRAND CIRCUIT
World's Figures Change When
Russell Boy Makes Circuit;
Great Events
Cleveland, 0., July 22. All sea
son's and two world's records went by
the boards In the free-for-all pace on
the final day of the North Randall
Grand Circuit races, when Single G,
created a sensation, after Russel Boy
had won the opening heat in 2:00*4 by
coming on and nosing out Murphy's
pacer In the second heat, duplicating
the time of the first mile and then
taking the race by tramping the third
heat in 2:01%.
It was by all odds the greatest
speed exhibition In the history of the
Grand Circuit and in only the special
match race between Directum 1 and
William was the time even approach
ed.
The world's records were: The fast
est three heats ever paced, the three
heats averaging 2:00 92-1000. The
fastest second and third heats ever
paced by the same horse, averaging
2:01.
The season's records: Fastest first
heat, 2:00V4; fastest third heat, 2:00%
and fastest three-heat race, averaging
2:00 92-100.
It was a wonderful race, and the
only reason that the two-minute mark
was not excelled was that Murphy
saved Russell Boy at the finish of the
first heat and Curt Gosnell did the
same with Single G In the second
mile. Otherwise both miles would
have been below the two-minute
notch.
A. Shrelner and partner, Robert Shrein

The committee is more or less sur
prised at the little interest that has
been manifested thus far in the ladies'
events as no entries nave been receiv
ed for either the singles or the doubles
matches.

Winning 17 games and losing 11, is
the record of the Harrisburg team
since June 28. This Is an Indication
that Walter Blair is developing a fast
bunch. Harrisburg may have a tail
end team, but the playing is equal to
that of any team In the league. No
stars seen at Island Park In the past
season, or with other teams this sea
son have anything on Cook or Brown
when it comes to fielding.
Harrisburg wound up the home ser
ies to-day and will be away until next
Saturday when the team returns for a
double-header with Utica. The locals
will go to Syracuse to-night for a Sun
day game and will play there Monday
and Tuesday. On Wednesday, Thurs

the Islanders. The double-header will
be the first Saturday bargain day of
the season.

; four hits. Meyer, the second baseman
was a big star for Albany. The scond
was 1 to 0.
