NEW TENNIS STAR
Eliminates Pell in Eastern
Tournament; Plays Superb
Game All Times
Boston. Mass., July 26.—The Callfor
aian tennis web entangled another
Eastern star in the Longwood singles
yesterday. Theodore Roosevelt Pell,
fifth In the national rank, being van
quished by Clarence j. Griffin, of San
Lranclsco, In straight sets, with the
score 6-1, 6-1, 9-7. The famous back
hand exponent was no match for his
coast rival, who played the same su
perlative tennis as that which Brought
him a victory over R. Xorris Williams,
2d, on Monday. That he could win from
two such leading lights in the game
In straight sets has raised Griffin high
in the opinion of those who have been
watching the play in the early rounds.
In eliminating Pell from the tourna
ment Griffin played at the top of his
game. Crafty and resourceful, he held
the New Yorker at his mercy in the
first two sets, and though he was
forced to a harder battle in the third,
he still had the reserve to pull out of
the fire a deuce set.
Pell Off in I.awt Set
The Californian's game fell olf a bit
In the last set after he had gained a
lead of 4-1. Up to this time his care
fully judged placements had kept Pell
In difficulties, but now Griffin, with the
end in sight, became a bit unsteady.
Errors piled up against him and helped
Pell tt bring the set to deuce and even
to the vantage game, but Griffin was
able to recover in time.to close out the
set to his credit.
Amonff the other prominent players
■who advanced to the fourth round are
Watson M. Washburn, Craig Biddle, !
William M. Johnston and Roland Rob- '
erts in the upper half, and in the lower
half with Griffin are Joseph G. Arm- \
strong, his next opponent, and Ichiya !
Kumagee, of Tokio. three times victor
over the Californian.

The Expense of
Empty Coal Bins
The coal bin that's empty
now is likely to remain so
until cold weather reminds
the homekeeper to get busy.
Don't go away on your vaca
tion with no coal in your bin.
Remember coal has ad
vanced and if you delay toO
long you'll pay this higher
price.
Kelley's coal prices are
still the same they have been
all summer.

HARRISBURG WINS
TWO FAST GAMES
Sensational Fielding Feature
Pitching Duels at Syracuse;
Other Teams Idle
Syracuse, N. Y., July 26. Trim
ming Syracuse in both gaanes of a
doubleheader yesterday was a further
indication that the Cockill crew Is an
Important factor In this season's race.
In the first game Harrisburg won by
a score of 2 to 1, and they annexed a
second victory with a score of 3 to 1.
The visiting pitchers, backed by sen
sational fielding offered a stonewall
defense.
The double defeat was a severe Jolt
to the Syracuse team which is push
ing Binghamton hard for the leader
ship of the race. A double victory
yesterday while the Bingoes were idle
would have tightened up the race
more, only an eyelash would have
separated the teams, but the double
Jar gave the locals a temporary set
back.
Airtight Pitching
Huenke and Taylor had an airtight
pitching duel in the opening battle,
with the visiting pitcher having the
better of the argument. He allowed
five hits, three less than his rival, and
excepting in the fourth inning was
invincible.
Harrisburg tied the score in the
sixth and won out in the eighth when
bunched swats sent a runner across.
In the second battle Parsons out
pitched Friel. The Harrisnurg heaver
allowed five hits in the seven innings,
while Friel was touched up for eight.

Uncle Sam Helps to
Keep Tabs on Dread
Baby Plague in City
While the city bureau of health keeps
a mighty watchful eye open for any
evidence of infantile paralysis in this
city, the dreaded baby plague has not
yet made its appearance in Harrisburg,
accerding to Dr. J. M. J. Raunick, city
health officer.
Not only are the few local suspects
I being carefully watched and will con-
tlnue to be under the medical inspec
' tor's eagle eye until after the period
jof contagion has passed, but all the
youngsters who come Into Harrisburg
j from the States or cities wherein the
1 disease is flourishing, are being kept
i under surveillance.
I The federal government, according to
Dr. Raunick Is keeping close tabs on
the infantile paralysis situation
I throughout the cbuntry by noticing
I the various State health departments of
the name, address, age, description, etc.,
|of any youngster under fifteen years
'Of age, who leaves New York or New
Jersey. The State department in turn
1 acquaints the health departments in
; the city of the youthful traveler's des-
I tinatlon. This enables local depart
i ments to keep in touch with the new
nrrlvals from the Infected districts.
Four or five notlfleatious to this effect
have been received by the Harrisburg
1 bureau.
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
Church Defeats Davis
to the Satisfaction of
Eastern Tennis Fans
■ , /
I
r GEORGE^._CHUR£ifI
Eastern tennis followers have the
satisfaction of knowing that at least
one prominent tennis trophy will not
go westward. George M. Church, of
Tenafly, N. J., defeated William E. Da
vis, of San Francisco, In the final
round of the Rockaway hunting tour
nament at Cedarhurst, N. J. As every
prize of any importance In tennis-land
seems to take flight to the sunny clime
of California, Church's victory arouses
no little Interest.
Urges City to Scrub
Herr Street Subway
West End residents who live in the
vicinity of the Herr street subway and
employes of the industrial plants on
the eastern banks of Paxton creek
particularly, complain about the un
sanitary condition of the roadway
through the underground passage and
urge a general scrubbing of the street.
The Telegraph's recent editorial
calling attention to the advisability of
a regular flushing of the streets with
fire hose streams is heartily commend
ed by some of the men who travel the
subway dally. In discussing this prob
lem one complaint says:
"I notice your paper, which is ad
vocating the washing of the streets as
a sanitary measure, has the commen
dation of Dr. J. M. J. Raunick, chief
of the city bureau of health. We de
sire to call his attention to the un
sanitary condition of the Herr street
subway which is occasionally swept by
the sweeper, the dirt pushed to the
sides and on the sidewalk, where it
lies in piles, water-soaked by the
leakage of water through the roof of
the subway, reeking with filth, and a
constant menate to the health of hun
dreds of people who are dally obliged
to use this subway. The importance of
washing this section of street is very
necessary."

covered in 2.0114, and the world's rec
ord was completed when Miss Harris

Steel Corporation Has
Largest Earnings For
Quarter in Its History
Special to the Telegraph
New York, July 26. Surpassing the
most optimistic prediction of earnings
by $10,000,000 the Steel Sorporat lon re
ported to-day the most brilliant quar
ter in its history. In the three months
■ended June 30 net income, after op
erating expenses and repairs had been
accounted for, was $31,126,048, com
pared with $60,713,624 in the preceding

meeting to declare an extra dividend
of - per cent., payable wit hthe usual
quarterly disbursement of 1% per cent,
on September 29 to stockholders of rec
ord September 1. The quarter's earn
ings amply provided for the extra, the
balance above all dividends being $47,-
964,525, an increase f more han $15,000,-
000 over the same item in the March
quarter, when nothing besides the or
dinary dividend was ordered. The bal
ance of income applicable to the com

JULY 26, 1916.
WELLY'S If CORNER]
Local fans are now doing a whole
lot of talking about the Islanders. This
is taken as an evidence that the future
games will receive a liberal patronage.
Taking two games from the Syracuse
team was an achievement that shows
Harrisburg in the same class with the
first division reams. There is no deny
ing the fact that had George Cockill
and Walter Blair been at the helm
early in the season the team would be
chasing the leaders.
Harrisburg ff.ns will not get a
double-header with Utica on Saturday.
One of the games scheduled with the
Utos will be. played at Willlamsport
Saturday afternoon. Early arrange
ments with the Motive Power team
gives the local contenders for honors
in the Pennsylvania Railroad league
the right to Island Park on Saturday.
Trenton will be the attraction, and as
a victory over the Tigers means much
to the local railroaders, a change of
plans is impossible. Every effort pos
sible was made to have the Motive
Power game played on another day.
While local fans are vitally in
terested in the present stride of the
Islanders, and two games on a Satur
day afternoon would have brought
cash profits, they realize, that a change
of plans could not be made and will
lend their patronage to the Motive
Power boys. Harrisburg is now lead
ing the railroad league with two games
to the good. There is but one more
game to play on the local schedule
after Trenton. It is with Wilmington.
Oldring Now With

Here is a picture of Rube Oldring

dition to the Yankee team strengthens

SCHOOL PRINCIPAL ELECTED
Special to the Telegraph
Bainbridge, Pa., July 26. Professor
Isaac J. Kreider, of Lebanon, has been
elected the principal of the Bainbridge
public schools.
Winning Saturday's game will be a big
help to Mike Friel's crowd.
It looks like a rejuvenation of the
New York State League is necessary.
The "daddy" of all minor leagues is
not doing a big cash business this sea
son. Crowds are not In evidence in
many cities. While Harrisburg is not
up to the standard, it is said other
towns in the league with less popu
lation and having teams high up in the
raco are not doing as well as this city.
Binghamton's owner, who heretofore
has always come to the front with the
necessary cash, is ready to sell out.
Elmira wants to drop the game, ac
cording to reports. The salvation of
the New York State League may come
in making it a stronger Pennsylvania
organization.
Hagerstown fans are evidently not
pleased with the baseball game offered
by the Blue Ridge League team of that
place. A dispatch from Hagerstown
to-day announces that the franchise is
on the market. It is said local busi
nessmen who look upon a baseball
team as a big advertisement for a city
will organize a company and take over
the Hagerstown franchise.
Playground sports are furnishing
much interest these days. Baseball is
holding the lead for popularity. In
yesterday's series the Harris Park
team defeated the Reservoir team,
score 22 to 8. In the 15-year-old class
the Sycamore team won from the Cow
dens, score 18 to 1.
LOCAL. BATSMEN ~
SHOW GOOD WORK
Averages For Week Put Dow
ney in Lead; McConnell of
Utica Tops League
Late averages figured up to last
Thursday show Harrlsburg coming to
the front in hitting and other special
work. While the figures are not official,
due to the fact that press reports do
not carry all official scores, the in
formation is pleasing from a local
standpoint.
Downey is leading the Harrlsburg
batters with an average of .346. He
has played in 10 games, according to
the report. Elltott, who played in 22
games, has .288. McConnell, of the
Utes, leads the league with .360. There
are 9 real hitters, including Sullivan,,
Elmira, .301 Broger, Wilkes-Barre,
.321; Strait and Higgins, Scranton,
.307 and .306, respectively; Smith,
Syracuse, .303; Murphy and Jones,
Binghamton, .368 and .343, respect
ively.
In base stealing Qulnn, of Syracuse,
leads with 28. Evans, of Syracuse,
Brown, Harrlsburg, Gonzales, Bing
hamton, each, 22. Harrison, Reed and
Layden are leading as sacrifice hitters.
Cooke and Huenke have been doing
good work in this line.
