MONDAY EVENING,
TWO GAMES TODAY
WITH SYRACUSE
Islanders Home Saturday For
Double-Header With Utica;
Locals Move Fast
Harrisburg is scheduled for two
games at Syracuse to-day. The Sunday
game was called off in order to allow
an exhibition game between Boston
and Syracuse. On Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, the Islanders will play
at Utica. It is probable that one
doubleheader will be played there.
The team returns home for a double
header with Utica next Saturday.
This will be the first visit of Utica
to Harrisburg. Harrisburg must win
from the team higher up In order to
make a showing and get out of the
cellar. Records to date show the
Cockill crew to be moving with great
regularity and from now until the
close of the season rare games may
be expected. The doubleheader nevt
Saturday, it is believed, will prove a
big attraction.
Hinghamton Team Wins
Binghamton won the final game on
Saturday by a score of 4 to 0. Har
risburg could do nothing with Sitton,
whose curves were a puzzle. The most
that Harrisburg could do was to hit
the balls in the air. Burns pitched
a fairly good game. Sensational team- |
work back of him kept flown the
score. Not until the sixth inning did]
the Bingoes connect with successful
safeties. j
Two games were played in the New
York State League yesterday. Elmira
trimmed Wilkes-Barre, score 3 to 2, l
and 1 to 0. Both games were featured i
with exceptional work by the fielders. <

"Dick" Nallin in Trouble;
Fans Mob Umpire on Field
Detroit, Mich., July 24. Chicafeo
defeated Detroit, 12 to 9, yesterday in
the wildest, wicrdest game played here
in a decade. Chicago made twenty hits
and used five twirlers. The Tigers ob
tained fifteen safe drives, but had four
pitchers battered. ' Ness was the star
slugger with two singles, two doubles
and a triple in six times at bat.
The teams, arriving from the East
this afternoon, reached the ball park
an hour late and then battled for two
hours and 47 minutes under a broiling
sun. Close decisions were numerous;
there was much wrangling, Manager
Jennings was put oft the field for dis
puting a decision and at the close of
the game Umpire Nallin narrowly es
caped being mobbed. With two out in
the ninth and two men on bases, Bush
sen up a high foul. Schalk crashed
against the stand, caught the ball,
doubled up and then regained his foot
ing. Umpire Nallin allowed the put
out, and thousands of persons swarm
ed on the diamond. Nallin was escort
ed to the clubhouse by Detroit and
Chicago players.
Nallin is well known in Harrisburg
having played on the original Tri-
State team, and made his home in
Harrisburg for several years.
Tennis Tournament Starts;
McLaughlin Not on List
Boston, Mass., July 2 4.—Many lead
ing tennis players will appear to-day
on the courts of the Longwood Cricket
Club for the opening of the twenty
sixth annual tournament, the oldest in
the country under club auspices. The
competition will afford tennis followers
an opportunity to compare the work of
the two Japanese players, I. Kumagae
and H. Makami. with that of the rank
ing American stars, who are expected
to approach too form at this time.
There will be no challenge round, as
Maurice E. McLoughlin, the former
national and Davis cup champion, who
won permanent possession of the
Longwood cup last year, will not de
fend his title. A new trophy will be
placed in competition and will go to
the player who wins it three times.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
AMATEURS MEET
MANY OBSTACLES
Local Games Scarce on Satur
day; Dauphin Takes Two
From Duneannon
Lack of trolley facilities to get the
teams to and from battling grounds,
scarcity of stars because of players
being required to work Saturday aft
ernoon, and the signing of local stars
by minor leagues, were factors in
cutting down the number of amateur
games on Saturday. Only seven were
played.
Keener A. C. trimmed Camp Curtin
Fire Company, score 10 to 2. Magill's
pitching was a big feature. The Keen
ers hit the ball hard. Hershey blank
ed Lebanon, score 2 to 0; and the
Stanley A. C. walloped the Belmont,
score 5 to 3. Taylor's work at second
base for Stanley was prominent.
Waltz pitched a good game, received
j brilliant support, and fanned 10 men.
! St. Mary's won from Llnglestown,
score 8 to 2 In a seven-inning game.
Palmyra shut out Harrisburg, score
5 to 0.
League Battles
In the Dauphin-Schuylkill League,
Lykens shut out Tremont, score 2 to
0. Klinger pitched for the victors
and allowed but two hits. Pat |
Reagan's catching was a big feature.!
He is hitting the ball ror Lykens.
Tower City won from Wlir.amstown, j
score 4 to 1. Adams the former Tri-
Stater pitched for Williamstown and '
was hit hard in two innings.
In the Dauphin-Perry ueague the
| Dauphin team was the big sensation
In Saturday games, taking two from
Duneannon, scores 5 to 2, and 11 to 2.
Gilday pitched the first game, Keep
ing the hits well scattered, and Finney
won the second by clever work on the
mound, allowing Duneannon but two
j hits. Dauphin's fielding was a sensa-
I tlon. In the second game the hits came
i in a big bunch in the fourth inning.
Marysville, the leader, had a hard
battle with Halifax, winning by a score
lof 3 to 1. It was a pitchers' battle
| between Biever and Wertz. The lat
j ter kept his hits well scattered. Cost
i ly errors back of Biever were factors
jln Marysville's scoring. Millersburg
won over Newport, score 9 to 4. Frank
pitched for the winners, and was hit
hard. Fast fielding prevented a large
score. Newport's fielding was ragged.
