HARRISON'S HIT IN SIXTEENTH BROUGHT VICTORY—WILKES-BARRE TO-DAY
MARYSVILLE HAS
FLAG ALMOST WON
Dauphin Still Has Fighting
Chance; Games Tomorrow
Are Important
Special to the Telegraph
Marysville, Pa., Aug. 4. With
the Dauphin-Perry race well advanc
ed on the final lap, games which will
have important bearings on the final
standing will be played to-morrow.
Dauphin will meet Halifax at home;
Marysville plays at Newport and Dun
cannon will Journey to Mlllersburg.
If Halifax succeeds in tripping up
Dauphin to-morrow and Marysville
defeats Newport, nothing but a
miracle will prevent Marysville from
landing the rag. Marysville would
have a three-game lead over Halifax
and would neea to take but two of
the remaining six games to secure a
tie.
Dauphin Will Fight
Dauphin, however, means to do her
best to prevent an occurrence like
this and will probably send in Gilday
and Waltz to check the Halifax
bunch. Scheffer, the Gettysburg star,
will likely hold down third base. Hali
fax has been using youngsters during
the past few games and may try out
some more to-morrow. Harry Biever
will start to twirl and either Ducky
Rhoads or Minnich, formerly of Penn
State, will receive him.
Marysville will use Don Wertz and
Kurzenknabe with the regular line-up
against Newport. Frankhouse, who de
feated Marysville on Independence
Day will probably start the game for
Newport with Ray Wertz in reserve.
Duncannon may use Winter a new
pitcher to-morrow with Dearolf catch
ing. Manager Chance will send in for
his Millersburg squad Franke and
Buffington.

FRIDAY EVENING,
HARRISBURG BASEBALL TEAM
—Photo by Doughten Studio.
Above is a picture of the Harrisburg baseball aggregation. Every member of the sensational bunch, except
Parsons, was caught by the camera man. The popular young pitcher was not in uniform. The rest of the .boys
were on hand and every player was in a fighting mood. Coming up from a record of six games won and thirty-five
lost, to thirty-six games won and forty-nine lost, is proof that this is some team. Every club in the New York
State League knows that Harrisburg is a factor in the race. A few more victories and the Islanders will be out of
the cellar. In the above picture are:
Front row, reading from left to right—Burns, pitcher; Huenke, pitcher; Elliott, shortstop; Walter Blair, cap
tain and manager; Volz, pitcher; Helfrich, pitcher.
Middle row—Harrison, right field; Reed, infield; Mills, first base; Wheat, catcher.
Front row—Brown, left field; Layden, center field; Cook, second base; Downey, third base, and the mascot.

HARRISON'S HIT
BRINGS VICTORY
It Came in Sixteenth Inning;
Final Battle With Syracuse
Brings Record Results
•One mighty wield of the willow yes
terday by Harrison in the sixteenth
inning after one man had been retired
and three others had reached bases on
hits brought a victory for Harrtsburg
over Syracuse; score. 1 to 0. It was
the end of tho greatest game ever
played at Island Park. A record was
established for no-score innings in this
city.
Friel, brother of the manager of the
local Motive Power team, was on the
firing line for the Stars and it was a
hard lose for this boy. No pitcher
ever worked harder and showed better
form than Frlel when the battle ended.
His teammates had been fighting hard
and when the sixteenth round started
they lacked the pep that was needed
to prevent clean hits and which they
showed early in the game.,
Helfrich Starts
Harrisburg started with Helfrich
and this boy wad just as good as Friel.
In fact, he was better. In the ninth
inning, when a pinch hitter was needed
and Wheat went in. Helfrich retired.
Parsons succeeded him and was a big
factor to the finish. Without a chance
to warm up. Parsons started his puz
zlers. There were timeb when it looked
good for Syracuse to score, but sen
sational fielding, long running catches
in the outfield and good pitching shut
off the runners.
In the Harrisburg line-up was the
veteran catcher. Lew Ritter. Walter
Blair was too ill to play and Wheat
'? ou * a sore finger. Ritter was
there with the goods Layden was
the sensational boy when he caught
Fritz's hit in the last inning, prevent
ing Syracuse from scoring.
Score Winning Run
In the sixteenth Cook hit to Fritz,
who could not handle the ball in time,
and first was reached without any in
terference. Cook singled to right, Par
sons taking second. La.vden sacrificed,
the ball goin,? to Friel. who threw to
third, but not in time to catch Parsons.
Brown fouled out and Harrison sent
the single to center that brought the
victory. The score:

WELLY'S k CORNER
Harrisburg baseball team is givini
this city wide publicity. Never In tlie
history of the National game has there
been an aggregation like that develop
ed by Walter Blair, and which yester
day brought a new record for games in
this city. Kvery man on the team was
fighting up to the last minute. The
work of both Helfj-ich and Parsons
was especially commendable. The only
thing lacking was the patronage.
Beating Syracuse three games was
some task. It has brought the Island
ers to one point back of Albany. Two
victories over Wilkes-Barre to-day will
mean much for Harrisburg. Owners
Cockill and Blair have gone far above
expectations in the standard of the
game offered here. It is far better
than last season.
In the Enola Car chop League yes
terday Team No. 2 defeated Team No.
3, score 4 to 2. Both teams hit the
ball. The victors were timely with
their blngles and had a big star in
Pitcher Gibson.
Albany is still in the running and
must not be overlooked. The Utes
split even with the Senators. Albany
took the first, score 7 to 1. The second
went to the Utes. score 4 to 2. Scran
ton gave Elmira another Jolt, score 6
to 1. John Fox allowed but two hits.

Evers Is Ready to Quit;
Starts Another Quarrel
Sfecial to the Telegraph
Boston, Aug. 4. After a quarrel
in which Captain Evers and Red
Smith, of the Boston Nationals figured
yesterday, Evers announced he was
"disgusted" with the way things were
going, and that if he could obtain an
unconditional release he was "about
ready to quit the Braves."
"If I say anything I get in bad and
if I don't say anything, I get in bed,"
said Evers, "so what is there to do?"
The Braves' captain was ordered
oft the field by Umpire Byron in the
third inning of the oecond game with
Cincinnati for alleged wrangling with
Smith in the Boston dugout. At the
clubhouse after the game, it is said
that the quarrel between Smith and
Evers was resumed until they were
separated by other players. The
cause of the trouble was not announc
ed.
;\Vilkes-Barre won from Binghamton,
score 4 to 2. The Barons featured the
game with hits.
Wllkes-Barre Is here to-day and will
play double-headers this afternoon and
to-morrow. Mike Donlin. the new
leader, Is expected here with the team.
Harrisburg is anxious to win 3 out of
the 4 games.
In the Lucknow Shop League series
yesterday the Planing Mill and Clerks
played a no-score five-inning game. Al
corn did not allow a hit while the
Clerks had two hits off Bowman.
Manager Swartz, of the Harris Park
team is alnxious for a game for to
morrow afternoon. He has one of the
best teams in the city and Is a strong
amateur attraction.
The Stanley A. C. and Galahads play,
ed a tie game last evening in the Alli
son Hill League series, score 1 to 1.
Both teams put up a brilliant battle;
Rlckard's catch in xno fifth robbed
HeffelQnger of a home run.
Increased interest is being manifest
ed In the playground games. Yester
day Harris and Sycamore boys divided
honors. The boys in 12-year-old class
won, score 25 to 18; and the seniors,
32 to 11. »
