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:

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. E.1.8.0R
Harrisburg ... 9 7 2 35 73 10 47 20

[yELU/S> k CORNER!
Plans are under way for another big
basketball season. There Is a desire
on the part of eastern managers to
have this city represented in a league.
It may not come this year. However,
if inducements are offered the Harris
burg Basketball Association may con
sider the project.
There is no denying the fact that the
Harrisburg team Is putting this city on
♦he baseball map. All over the United
States sport writers are telling about
the phenomenal work of the Islanders.
Both George Cockill and Walter Blair
are winning praises for their work and
the players are being referred to indi
vidually in nice terms.
Inquiries are being made as to the
permanency of the Harrisburg New
York State League team. There is but
one answer. It is here to stay. Be
cause of the standing of the team at
the go-off businessmen were only
offered coupon books as a means to
boost the game. Now that George
Cockill brought about the deal that
gave Harrisburc: a team, with the aid
of Walter Blair, th 3 able baseball
leader has been successful in giving
the city a winning team, some people
In Harrisburg would like to get inter
ested. This can be done, according to
reports. There are Btill a few shares
of stock on tho market, but from
present indications will not be there
long.
It looks as if Mike Donlin will not
connect as manager of the Wilkes-
Barre team. Jack Lewis is making
good and several of the owners would
like to see him continue in charge.
The team is being strengthened. Steve
