The contest Satur day will decide the honors. The game will be played on the H. A. C. grounds at Island Park. It will be real base ball. Officials will be picked to-day, and the game will start at 3 o'clock. As stores are closed Saturday after noon a record crowd is looked for. Almost two weeks after the season in the Pennsylvania Railroad League is closed, Trenton plays a game with Xew York in the Motive Power series J and wins out. Then comes the claim that the Tigers are the rightful pen nant winners. On what grounds this claim is made is a question that has not been answered. Rules were adopt ed at the beginning of the season that all games must be played off before the season ends. This was not done. Trenton knows it. Last year Harris burg's Motive Power team lost out on a technicality. The local nine is. ' entitled to honors this sea'son, and ! there should be no further argument.

Mike Friel's Harrisburg Motive Power champions caught the twice-time champions of the Central Grand > Di vision of the Pennsylvania Railroad off their stride yesterday and won by a score of 11 to 7. The locals, still relaxing from their strenuous efforts in winning the championship of the Central division, failed to play to gether as they usually do and besides showed a disposition to get all of the errors out of their systems before they tackle the Elmira bunch here again next Friday afternoon. By inserting a safe blow here and there when the locals were making ipiscues the visitors easily romped away with the game. Beaver gave a nice exhibition of pitching, his work ' in the pinches being especially good. , Score: Harrisburg— AB. R. H. O. A.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH ISLANDERS DROP TWO TO MINERS Pitchers Not in Form; Fielders Have Costly Errors; Other League Games Special to the Telegraph [ Scranton, Pa., Aug. 17. The j Islanders were out of form yesterday and Bill Coughlin's Miners trotted home with one easy victory, and a j second won through timely hits. Scran j ton won the first by a score of 11 to 3. ! The second score was 4 to 3, in a nine | inning argument. ! In the opening battle John Fox was | pitted against Volz. The latter was ! hit hard, while the Iron Man from j Reading kept the safeties well seat i tered, Helfrich went into the game too late to do much. Errors by Harris burg were costly. Volz started the second contest and pitched a good game up to the fifth j inning when he was bumped hard. Huenke held the Miners until the I finish. "Winters, the Harrisburg boy | had speed and curves. His support | was not of the best, but he was tight i in pinches. Other League Games Albany and Wilkes-Barre divided a double bill. Both games were fast and the pitchers were in great form. Donahue of Albany, allowed five hits in the first game, and Brown for the Barons, was hit once in the second , battle. Syracuse gained a few points in the lead by taking a game from I Elmira. It was an eleven-inning I pitcher's dual. The score of the Har risburg games follow: I First Uarnc Harrisburg— AB. R. H. O. A.
