SIXTH ST^^M Try Telegraph Want Ads WUHELM'S HIT WINS FOR ELMIRA Take Game From Islanders in Eleventh Inning; Volz Shows Great Form Special to the Telegraph Elmira, N. Y., Aug. 15.—Pitcher Wllhelm had the Indian sign on the Harrlsburg Islanders yesterday, win ning his game by a score of 6 to 6. Victory came in the eleventh inning with two men down. Wilhelm was the boy who wielded the big willow at the right time stirring a double. This safety with two sacrifices brought the answer. Up to the eighth inning when Wil helm came to the mound, relieving Grlnges, Harrlsburg had the game well iced. Parsons started for Har rlsburg and when he weakened Volz went In but too late to stem the tide and hold the game in hand. He gave a great exhibition of curves and puzzlers. Harrlsburg was again in evidence In the field and the hits came through bunched bingles. The score follows: HARRISBURG A.B. R. H. O. A. E.

At Cen tral Park last night, before a big j crowd, Zbysco, the Polish champion wrestler, showed that he still retains ail his strength and skill by defeating Frank Shultz, a German, who has done some excellent work on the mat , and who claims to be the present ] champion of Germany. The struggle for the first fall was fast and exciting, and Shultz gave the Polish champion a hard contest. Gradually, however, the latter wore the German down, and In just 16 min utes and 2 seconds he had Shultz's shoulders pinned to the mat. The rough work whicto Shultz had to go through in the tirst struggle sap ped his vitality and left him pretty weak, for Zbysco had little difficulty in -winning the second fall and the match. As soon as time was called, the gigantic Pole grappled the big Ge rman and slamming him around like a child, he played with him for a while and in 2 minutes and 46 seconds had him flattened to the mat, beaten and exhausted.

HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH Bits From Sportland Back in the cellar. Just to get some baggage. Then move out for a big climb. Considering that Elmira was once at tho top. wsterday's loss was no disgrace. One thing is certain the team that beats Harrlsburg must go some and play more than nine innings. With a few days less than a month, the New York State League promises a big sensation at the finish. The majors have nothing on the Farrell circuit just now. Layden is back in hitting form. Hope he keeps it up. Brown, the idol of the fans ln_ left field Is doing a few things, too? Downey, Volz and Huenke were the only Harrlsburgers who did not have a hi't. They had other thing to do that were Important. The infield was moving with light ning speed yesterday. The Bingoes got back into the win ning stride yesterday, tklng the game from Albany, score 1 to 0. They still have to go some to get back at the top and be sure of the flag. Things are different In the Farrell League. No one can make a safe bet these days on a victory. The Utes yesterday trimmed Wilkes-Barre by a score of S to 2. The Barons have been going some, but fell down yes terday. Mike O'Neill's Syracuse stars won yesteiaay, taking the game from Scranton. score 4 to 3. This battle was in keeping with the games now in order all over the circuit. The Smith Shop won yesterday's game In the Lucknow Shop League, score 2 to 1, the Feds losing out. Jones and Lutz each pitched good hall, the timely hits by the Smiths' bringing the victory. In the Allison Hill League series the Stanleys and Reading played a 0 to 0-score.

The Perfect Tobacco for Pipe and Cigarette TmS THE AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY 5C HARRISBURG WINS MANY PRAISES Strong Road Attraction; At tendance increases; Kind Words From Elmira Harrisburg is proving a big attrac tion on the road. In all cities the at tendance is doubled when the Island ers play. Newspaper comments- are full of praise for the local team. The following Is from the Elmira morning Advertiser of yesterday: "The somewhat different Harrlsburg team, now known as the Islanders, gave the Colonels a kick in the slat» yesterday before an unusually large crowd, considering the attendance at Recreation of late. The fans seemed greatly interested in the rejuvenated visitors, and for six Innings were high ly enthusiastic over the article of ball displayed by the two clubs. "And then came the grand bom bardment of the Colonels' position, Ray Jordan receiving such a lacing that it took the pep out of the contest, and the fans left the park in anything but the frame of mind in which they entered it. "The minute the visitors got the range of the Colonels they delivered two well-directed shots, these two alone being sufficient to wipe the Col onels almost completely off the field. The two clouts, one by Layden and one by Brown, cleared the fence and drove in six of the eight Harrlsburg runs. What more need be said for any ball game? The Harrisburg outfit, led by Walter Blair, the former catcher of the New York Americans, Is just about one hundred per cent, different club from the Trojans. The club is now playing very near the best baseball of anv of the Farrell wheel, and It Is really a pleasure to watch 'em work. They have good pitchers, good hitters, good fielders, and when the men reach the paths they run for all they are worth, and woe unto the opposing outfielder who fumbles the pill with one of the Islanders on base. Although at the bottom of the heap, they play the game for all that is in them. They're a mighty hard team to beat, and if you don't believe it ask Calhoun and O'Neill." NEW PITCHING RECORD Special to the Telegraph Marienette, Wis., Aug. 15. What is believed to be a record In baseball was made Sunday when Pitcher Ew ick, of a Crlvltz baseball team. In an : 11-lnning game with Marienette, struck out twenty-five men. Crivltz j won, 2 to 1. AUGUST 15, 1916. WELLY'S If CORNER Local baseball fans are hungry for a league game. This is taken by George Cocklll as an Indication that the local patronage will be up to the standard until the end of the season. The final game with Elmira was played this afternoon. The team will journey to Scranton for a series of three games. One of the hardest tasks Harrisburg will have this week will be to win from Scranton. If Bill Coughlin's pitchers are working it will mean spe cial work on the part of the Islanders. However, the three games won by the miners in Harrisburg were due to the team's first and only slump. Plans are being discussed to give the Islanders a great welcome on their return next week. All over the circuit newspapers are talking about the Har risburg team and its wonderful stride. The general opinion prevails that with Waltei Blair at the helm early in the season Harrlsburg would now be up In the first division. Just because Benny Kauff is no lcr.ger a headliner with sport writers he claims unfair treatment at the hands of McGraw. Just now the news Elmira Releases Caporel; More Pink Slips Coming Elmira, Aug. 15. —■ Announcement was made last night that Caporel, whose work this year has been disap pointing. both to the management and to the fans, has been released to Ridgeway In the Interstate League. Cappy'swork has not been up to stand ard. despite the fact that he was given a pre-season workout with the Cincin nati Reds and reported to the Colonels in condition to pitch from the begin ning of the season. Manager Wid Conroy states that the disposition of Caporel and Dessau means that the team is due for some changes along pitching lines and terms have beep wired to at least two hurl ers who have good records and who, he Is confident, will greatly strengthen the team In the box. GIANT PURCHASE OUTFIELDER uy Associated Press Sherman, Texas, Aug. 15. Ross Young, outfielder for the Sherman Western Association team, was sold to the New York National club to-day. The sale price was announced as $2,000 cash. Young led the league the first half of the season, with a bat ting average of .345. la mostly about the men who win earner, and as the race Is close In both major leagues, the timely hitter and star pitcher is the man getting the notices. If Benny Kauff wants to be famous he should do something. If close games continue in the New York State League, the basement champs will be almost equal in stand- In* to the team at the top of the sec ond division. It will not be many days until one and two victories will send ft team almost into the tlrst division. Harrtaburg Is slowly but surely cutting down the margin that separates them trom the first column. The season Is here for local cham pionship claims. Once more there are a number of teams claiming the hon ors. The schedule this year has not been up to the standard of those of the past several seasons. However, there have been less teams a,nd many of the games have been close. The only way to decide the championship is for all contenders to get together and arrange an elimination schedule. Heath Byford yesterday won his match from Jerry Weber, and to-day meets George M. Church of Tenafly, N. J., in the challenge round. Shakeup For Binghamton; Red Calhoun Is Real Star Binghamton, N. Y., Augr. 15. Man ager Calhoun, of tho champion Bing hamton team, of the New York State league, has declared martial law and the club is due for a gigantic shake-up as the result of the miserable showing has made in the last three weeks. After leading the race most of the year and accumulating a lead that seemed to assure them the pennant, tno Bingoes 'have slumped miserably and are now in second place. The first move made by Calhoun was the signing of Eddie Zimmerman, former ly of the Newark Internationals. Then Tim Jordan, the former big leaguer, was released, and Calhoun went back to first base himself. Bill Cranston was released to-day. and GonzaJes, the Cuban, will take his place at second, Zimmerman will play third. Sennet the speedy young outfielder, has been recalled from the Interstate League.
