THURSDAY EVENING,
®lSZirlf CORNER
Harrisburg fans are promised a bat
| tie royal on Saturday afternoon when
teams from two big department stores
will clash in the annual championship
game. The Dives, Pomeroy and Stew
art nine will meet the team from
Bowman and Company's store. These
teams have been rivals for several sea
sons. Each year a series of close
games are played. 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.
There is some talk about organiz-

Sfecial to the Telegraph
W'illiamsport. Pa., Aug. 17. 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.

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

in the lead by taking a game from
