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

Zbysco Is Easy Winner;
Defeats German Champion
Philadelphia, Aug. 15. 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.
Miss Molla Bjurstedt
Wins Over Male Opponent
Special to the Telegraph
Newport, Aug. 15. Miss Molla
Bjurstedt, the woman national lawn
tennis champion, won a match and
likewise a roll of expense money here
yesterday to the applause of the fash
ionable crowd at the Casino. The sta:-
wart girl from Norway met Oliver
Perin, one of the tournament commit
tee, to decide a wager as to whether
men or women players were superior.
It was to be best two out of three
setß encounter. No third session on
the court was necessary, however, for
Miss Bjurstedt soon found the vulner
able spot in Perin's game. Then she
sent her forelianders slashing around
his court. She kept him on the jump
to a merry tune of driving and vol
leying to win at 8-6,6-0.
There was considerable betting on
the match. The odds were in favor of
Miss Bjurstedt at from 5 to 3 to 2 to 1.
From all accounts Miss Bjurstedt and
her admirers cleaned up handsomely
from a financial standpoint, their
pooled winnings amounting to several
thousands of dollars.

State League team, has been unable

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 Rosewood and Gal
ahads will meet this evening.

Take Nobody's Say-so—Your Nose Knows
It's your taste that has to be pleased. What suits
another man may not suit you. Why take other
people's say-so ? Why try first one tobacco and then
another when your nose knows —in a minute —just
which is your tobacco.
Make this test —it never fails. Rub a little
TUXEDO between your palms, long enough for the
friction to bring out the full aroma, and smell it. Put
other tobaccos to the same test. Only one —TUXEDO
—will come through it satisfactorily—convincingly.
Only one TUXEDO has the volume and
sweetness of fragrance that prove supreme flavor,
mildness and satisfaction.
Make the test. Then smoke TUXEDO—aII you
want—all day long. You won't be disappointed.
There won't be any come-back—your nose knows.

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.
