ISLANDERS TAKE
ANOTHER BATTLE
Annex Three Runs by Fast
Base Running at Utica;
Hits Timely
Special to the Telegraph
Utica, July 28. Harrisburg's win
ning stride was still on yesterday. The
Islanders won from the Utes, score 3
to 2. Fast base running in the sixth
inning was a big factor in Harrisburg's
victory.
Helfrich and Blair were on the firing
line for the Cockill crew. The Utes
hit the ball hard and often, but not in
bunches. Sesational fielding pre
vented the locals from scoring.
Utica scored In the fifth when Karpp
started by beating out a bunt. Bruggy
singled to center. McConnell bunted,
but Helfrich threw to Downey for a
forced play at third. Corcoran then
hit to left, scoring Bruggy. On the at
tempted squeeze play Wagner bunted
into Helfrich's hands and McConnell
was doubled off third, retiring the side.
Harrisburg Scores
Corcoran went over back of second
and grabbed Layden's grounder at the
start of the sixth and turned it into an
out. Brown was walked, and went to
third on two short singles to right field
by Harrison and Downey. Elliott hit
to left, scoring Brown. Mills grounded
to Corcoran, who threw to Clougher
forcing Harrison at the plate. Clough
er threw to Brower, but Mills had
beaten the throw. Brower slept with
the ball in his hand while Downey
kept on coming home, scoring from
second on the play. The ball was re
turned to Karpp and then he threw to
Brower, catching Mills off first. While
Mills was being chased down Elliott
stole third and home and then Mills
slid back safe# into first. He died
later trying to steal second.
Utica rallied In the eighth. With
one down Brower singled and scored
on Reichle's triple to right. Relchle
was caught at the plate on Catlz's
grounder to Downey. Clougher sin
gled, but Karpp fiied to Downey. The
score:
