EHMKE BIG STAR
Helfrich Gives Sensational
Twirler Hard Battle in Great
est Game of Season
Syracuse, X. Y., July 25. Helfrich
the Harrisburg youngster gave Ehmke
the Syracuse pitching sensation the
hardest fight in his career yesterday.
The locals won out in the thirteenth,
score 3 to 2. Harrisburg was in the
game from start to finish, and out
side of Ehmke's work, Syracuse had
nothing on the Cockill crew. It was
the greatest game of the season in the
New York State League.
Ehmke turned in his twentieth
straight victory. The tall youth, who
hasn't been beaten since early in May,
hurled a remarkable game. He al
lowed the Pennsylvanians but three
hits and struck out eighteen batters.
He lost control momentarily in the
seventh inning, and Harrisburg
bunched bases on balls and a hit for
two runs.
Before and after this tliey were
helpless before the baffiing speed of
the lad who is much sought by big
league clubs.
Helfrich. pitching for Harrisburg,
gave the local star a keen fight. He
was hit safely nine times. Syracuse
registered Its first run in the opening
inning and another in the eighth, and
then didn't have another chance until
the winning run was chased over the ]
plate in the thirteenth.
Both teams fielded sensationally, j
Cook, at second, with five outs and
five assists, led the visitors in the field,
while aside from Ehmke's wonderful
pitching, the clever all-around playing
of Madden i.» right field, stood out in I
the Syracuse attack.
Harry Fritz, the Philadelphia boy,
handled several hard chances at third

NO WASTE LAND
IN LANCASTER
Report of United States Depart
ment of Agriculture Places
County in Leading Rank
Special to tne Telegraph
Washington, D. C., July 25. A re
port of the soil survey of Lancaster
county, Pennsylvania, recently con
ducted by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the Pennsyl
vania State College has just been pub
lished by the Federal Department.
This report has Just been published
by the Federal Department. This re
port Includes a large map showing in
colors the different kinds of soil
found in the county and reference is
made to railroads, highways, rivers,
streams, churches, schools and other
landmarks.
Lancaster county, says the report,
has long ranked as one of the leading
general farming communities in which
intensive farming methods are em
ployed. There is little doubt, it is said,
that the systems of crop rotation
which have been generally followed
for many years have been the chief
means of maintaining the high state
of productiveness of the soils. Gener
ally, a four-year or five-year rotation
is pactlced, but on some soils this is
lengthened to six years and on some
of the smaller farms reduced to three.
Wheat yields vary from about 15
bushels on soils poorly adapted to the
crop to 40 or 45 bushels on the Hag
erstown soils, the average for the
county being about 23 busneis per
acre. In gross returns wheat ranks
next to tobacco. Corn is second in
acreage, being grown widely through
out the county. Practically all of the
corn is husked and fed on the farm.
Tobacco has been for many years an
important source of income, Lancaster
being the leading tobacco producing
county in the State. Pennsylvania
Seedleaf and Pennsylvania Havana
are the varieties grown and the Hag
erstown, Conestoga, Manor, Chester
and Elk soils are used most extensively
for the crop. The Hagerstown soils
produce as high as 2,500 pounds per
acre and the average for the county
is about 1,300 pounds.
In recent years Irish potatoes have
supplemented tobacco to some extent
as a money crop. Rye is not import
ant, and buckwheat is grown to a
very small extent. Of the hay crops
mixed red clover and timothy consti
tute about 90 per cent of the total.
Commercial orcharding is com
paratively new in the county, but
nearly all the farms nave small
orchards to supply the home demand.
Small fruit and vegetables are grown
on many farms in conjunction with
general farming, and strawberries
have proved successful.
There is little waste land. Corn
yields of as high as 125 busneis per
acre occasionally are reported and
as much as 40 bushels of wheat per
acre has been produced. Clover does
well. Peaches give heavy yields of
fruit of good quality, ana ir the soil
is well inoculated, alfalfa should prove
profitable.

"NEW INDUSTRY AT COLUMBIA
Special to the Telegraph »
Columbia, Pa., July 25. C. R
Strickler, manager of the East Colum
bia Land Company, has closed a lease
with a firm in Paterson, N. J„ for the
large vacant factory building in that
section of the borough. The building
was formerly occupied by a cut glass
company and has been idle several
years. The company will put the fac
tory in order'at once and commence
operations at an early date, giving
employment to a large number of
hands. It is said that the concern op

SALE OF ALBANY
IS NOW CERTAIN
Reading Mayor Lifts Ban on
Sunday Baseball; Other
Changes Likely
With the assurance of Sunday base
ball in Reading, the Albany franchise
of the New York State League will be
transferred to that city at an early
date. A dispatch from Reading says:
"Mayor Filbert decided to lift the
ban on Sunday baseball within the
city limits. Before announcing his
decision the mayor studied a number
of legal decisions, the old blue laws
of 1794 and local conditions as well.
He invited opinions in the matter and
says that there were few against and
hurdreds in favor of the movement.
"If baseball games are played on
Sunday at the Circus Maximus, remote
from built-up sections of the city, the
noise of fans cheering and shouting
could not be construed, in* the mayor's
opinion, as a nuisance.
" 'Until playing Sunday ball is legally
declared a nuisance,' says the mayor,
'I shall not interfere.' Should the
mayor win out for Sunday baseball in
Reading, it is likely that one of the
New York State League teams will be
transferred here."
Other Chances Likely
Other changes are likely to'be made
in the Farrell circuit. President J. H.
Farrell is having his troubles. Wilkes-
Barre's interests are in the hands of
the sheriff and Peter Noonan is look
ing after the league's Interests and
taking care of the club until a new
manager is selected and the financial
trouble straightened out. A dispatch
from Binghamtcn says:
"O. J. Johnson, the millionaire
owner of the champion Binghamton
team of the New York State League,
announced to-day that unless the fans
of this city give better support to the
Bingoes he will sell his franchise—to
another city, if he receives an offer.
Johnson says that he has spent SIO,OOO
a year for the last two seasons and
was willing to spend the same amount
providing the fans would co-operate."
