8 ISLANDERS QUIT HARRISBURG TO-DAY FOR LONG TRIP-MINERS TOOK ONE GAME FOX SPITTERS TO MUCH FOR LOCALS Wins Game From Team Out of Form; Errors Are Costly John Fox, of Reading, once famous as the Iron Man of the Harrisburg Tri-State team, admired by Harris burg fans, yesterday handed the Is landers one big jolt. Chewing a big hunk of Slippery Elm bar, Fox fur nished the moisture for his famous spitballs, and won the game, score 4 to 3. Fox always was a good pitcher. However, he faced a team yesterday that was not in form. The Seranton twirler did not have a whole lot on Helfrieh, who was on the firing line for Harrisburg. Fox started better, while Helfrieh was a long time getting down to work, and , lve had the support of a team that was slightly loose. The Miners were also out of ginger and not until the ; locals started to rally, did they get real busy. Fast fielding at the wind up of the game by Seranton saved the 'victory for the visitors. Only one game was played, as rain Interfered with the second and made two games to-day necessary as Seranton will not be here again this season. How Runs Came With one man down, three singles In succession brought two runs for Seranton in the second. An error by Elliott figured. A single, double and error brought one in the seventh and a double and sacrifice fly one in the ninth. A hit by pitcher for Cook, and two singles gave Harrisburg one run. It came In the third. A single, sacri fice and two errors added another in the fifth; and a single and error one In the eighth. The score: • • » Seranton— AB. R. H. O. A. E.

ISLANDERS BACK IN BASEMENT Still Playing Game; Official Figures Change Standing; On Road For Two Weeks Harrisburg's pace setters wind up the home series to-day, playing Scran ton a double-header. Winning two games from the Minei-s will give the Islanders another chance to get out of the cellar. Tho local team is back in the basement, not through any poor work. Someone failed to chalk up all the victories for the other teams. The standing of the teams has not been correctly printed. The Telegraph prints the figures to day as furnished by President J. H. Faivell. It will now be necessary to get busy once more. When again out of the cellar Harrisburg will be able to move up more rapidly because of the close proximity to Elmira and Al bany. The team is going fine. The boi's are out for a long string of victories from now until the close of the season. It means much lor baseball next year. The season ends September 9, one month from to-day. Harrisburg will not be home until August 22, and if the locals do a little better than break even on the road there is a good chance to be ar. the top of the second division before the last game is played. Fight for First Place The Bingoes and Syracuse Stars are fighting for first place. Harrisburg will be a factor in the coming road series, as they play both teams before return ing home. Referring to the work of the Harrisburg team, the Gazette-Star of Elmira says: "The work of the Harrisburg team for the pa«x month has been first class. In fact, the Islanders have outplayed all of the othe:* clubs in the last four weeks. Nineteen of their last twenty seven games have been won, truly a remarkable record for an eighth place club. On paper the Islanders now compare with the best in the circuit and the club is now in a position where it may yet finish among the first four. Good pitching, good work on the paths, timely hitting and strong de fensive play ha.-e been factors in Har risburg's successful spurt." The record for the week, showing games won and lost, runs scored, hits, errors, men left on bases an-d runs scored by the opposition, follows: C.W.1,. R. H.
