John Fox, the old Harrisburg pitch er. is here with Scranton and may pitch one of the games to-day. Parsons had rings around Buckles yesterday. Athletic Scout Brennen was here to see Buckles. Lew Ritter is in the game again this time with Scranton. He got a bad start yesterday but the old vet is still in the game. Umpire Mcßride should read the rules. He failed to call the hit by Walsh an infield fly. When Blair and the other Harrisburg players kicked Mcßride refused to change his deci sion, and Johnston claimed he did not see the ball. However, after notice of a. protest Parsons shut off the runs. Harrisburg lost several opportunities yesterday by poor base running. Coaches overlook good things quite frequently. Walter Blair was missed along the coaching lines .yesterday. Reed has been sent to the Bradford team of the Interstate league on an optional agreement. He is a good in fielder. Pat Reagan, catcher for Lykens team, of Dauphin-Schuylkill league witnessed yesterday's game from the press box. Pat is making good and he likes to look over a New York State League game. Ex-Sheriff Johnny Reiff is a great booster for baseball in the upper end- He is backing the Lykens team to win the pennant in the Dauphin-Schuylkill League. Zlegler, who pitches for Lykens. is the Lebanon Valley pitching star, and with Pat Reagan is wanted by Brook lyn and Pittsburgh. A number of boys In bathing suits witnessed yesterday's game. When the sun got real hot they went to the river took a plunge and then returned to the bleachers. Buckles is a puzzling southpaw, but he was up against real hitters yester day. Purtell plays a great game at second for Scranton. Old man Walsh still has the old pep at first base. Gagner at short is a Bill Coughlin star. He is in the game from start to finish. Cook was on the Job when Mcßride overlooked that infield fly. Every man on the Harrisburg team figured in yesterday's victory. It was great team work. It was some game for a hot day. Parsons was in pitching form. Three hits in the game. Whenever Downey tosses a ball to first the fans say "Just as easy." He is a big card at third. Two fans furnished plenty amuse ment yesterdav. One was backing Scranton and the other Harrisburg. After a three-dollar bet both started to root One said something and the other went the contrary. Other occu pants of the grandstand took occasion lo twit the Scranton rooter when the Miners failed to score. Scranton will wind up the series to morrow and then take the road for two weeks. The boys will be missed. Captain Jack Announces Governor's Troop Promotions Camp Stewart. El Paso, Texas, Aug. 8.
