HICK-A-THRIFTS
REAM FOR SERIES
Manager Washburn Claims
Championship a d Will
Fight It Out
« The Hick-a-Thrifts are out to play
any team in Dauphin county for the
championship. In a letter to the Tele
graph Manager Murray Washburn
says:
"At the reauest of the members of
our club. I hereby enter as one team
with a Just claim on the championship
of this county.
"We base our claim wholly upon our
record, and the fact that of the teams
who have to date entered claim to the
championship have either refused thus
l'ar to answer letters in which 1 tried
to arrange a game, have refused to
scheduled out team, or have canceled
on us. These same cancellations have
been from four days before the game,
to nearly time to leave for the train.
The teams included in this list are St.
Mary's, of Steclton; Harris Park; Lin
glestown; Hummelstown.
Lost But One Game
"We have lost to but one Dauphin
county team, and this team. Riverside.!
has disbanded. In this game we were
without the services of our regular;
pitcher, second baseman, short stop,
and one outfielder. But one other 1
game has been lost within twenty
miles of Harrisburg, and this was lost
in Cumberland county in the thir
teenth inning on two errors.
"I believe the work of our regular
pitcher. Mummert. alone shows nearer
the caliber of the whole team than
anything else; in the last 6S innings he
has struck out 96 men. and has not al
lowed more than 7 hits per game. At
Boiling Springs, on July 4. Mummert
struck out 18 men in 9 innings, while
at Hershey, on July 29, he fanned 20
in 11 innings. IS Of them coming in
the first nine innings.
"The club will be open to all chal
lenges beginning September 2. We
will be unable to defend out claim j
previous to that date because of the j
tact that to-day the twelfth annual \
camp will commence.
"The following list of men have,
plaved with us this season in sufficient j
games to be members of the snuad fori
the championship games: Andrews, j
Atkinson, Bender, Bittner, Cobaugh,
Comp, Cooper. Culp. Dwyer, Herr,
Losh. Miller. Mummert. Noll, (Capt.)
Riohwine. Santo,' Smith, Washburn,
C. Williams and R. Williams."
Flickers For Fans
Coming back.
Two in one day.
Some revenge Mr. Bill Coughlin.
Albany and Elmlra lost too. Some
help In the climb.
Wonder if there is an artesian well
in that cellar.
The score of the first game shows
what Harrisburg can do.
Burns was the boy who held the
Miners to six hits. He had the goods
yesterday.
Only two hits off Helfrich in the
second game. Harrisburg was in the
old-time hitting mood.
Walter Blair is a fighter. He got
yesterday's game and helped a
whole lot.
Harrisburg plays at Wllkes-Barre
to-day. to-morrow and Monday. Then
home" for six games.
Next week's attractions at Island
Park will be Binghamton and Elmira.
Walter Blair changed the batting
order yesterday. Perhaps that helped
tome.
Winters, the Harrisburg boy, got his
bumps in the second battle.
Cook and Downey were moving
some yesterday at second and third.
Lavden is still leading the locals
at bat. Downey and Harrison are fol
lowing closely.
In the Allison Hill League series
last evening the Stanleys and Galahads
played a no-score game. Pitchers
Eis'enberger and Heffelfinger each
showed form.
In the Lucknow Shop League games
the Federals won from the Clerks,
score 2 to 1. Jones pitched for the
Feds and kept the hits well scattered.
In the four games against Scranton
Shortstop Elliott of the Islanders has
accepted twenty-four chances without
the stgn of an error. His work yester
day was one of the big features.
Scranton Republican.
Scout Larry Sutton was In attend
ance at the games yesterday. He is
interested in Buckles, of Scranton and
Elliott of Harrisburg. Sutton was for
tunate in striking a game when Buck
les was at his best. Jess seldom dis
played more stuff than yesterday.
Scranton Republican.
Manager Blair had Gough in right
field yesterday. He recalled him from
St. Mary's, of the Interstate, to take
Harrison's place. Harrison is ill and
may be out of the game for a few days.
Gough is no stranger in the State
League, having been in the circuit
when Troy was found in the standing
of the clubs. —Scranton Republican.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
FANS WANT HEADS
•OF TWO MANAGERS
Joe Tinker Is One; and Clar
ence Rowland Another;
Woefully Lacking
By BERT E. COLLYER
(All Rights Reserved by Collyer's
News Bureau >
Chicago, Aug. 19. Loyal to the
core Chicago baseball fans have finally
arisen in their disgust and are setting
k precedent for such action in this
neck of the woods by demanding the
managerial heads of both Joe Tinker
of the Cubs and Clarence Rowland of
the White Sox.
So far as Tinker is concerned the
Cub fans are not alone in their de
mands. While there is plenty of
money behind the North Side team,
possibly more than behind any team
in either of the two major leagues,
the stockholders are of the "show me"
brand and Tinker has thus far failed
to show them anything with his com
bination of National League stars and
defunct Federal League derilicts but
a steady slipping to the bottom of the
ladder.
Admittedly the most powerful fac
tor from the ranks of the players in
the formation of the Federal League
this fact gave Tinker his chance as
manager of the amalgamated Cubs.
But Joe was given only a chance to
make good and not a life interest in
the position of Pooh Bah and now
having shown himself utterly unable
to vveld together a set of men whose
affiliations made it difficult to pull to
gether and at the same time having a
habit of criticising his men which
leads to further dissention rather
than to enthusiasm on the playing
field his managerial end is plainly in
sight.
Rowland Not to Blame
Of the two the failure of Rowland
is probably the more abject. The for
mer minor league manager is in
possession of what is admitted by the
experts to be all in all the best team
in the American League. That the
team shot into the lead for a brief
spell in the race and is still close
enough to the leaders to regain that
position is due not to Rowland but
in spite of Rowland.
Rowland possesses the happy faculty
of keeping his men well in hand off
the playing field, has their respect and
confidence but lacks the element of
decision and the necessary insight into
what should be dohe in the crucial
moments of the game when directing
his men in the active struggle on the
diamond.
Mechanical slips have of course cost
the White Sox a certain number of
games as they have cost the best team
ever brought together but enough
games have been lost through poor
judgment on the part of their man
ager which had they been won would
have put Comiskey's pets out so far in
the lead that all hope of catching
them this season would have been
fruitless.
Weakness Still Apparent
The weaknesses of Rowland were
never more apparent than during the
recent series here with the Senators
and the Red Sox. Taking- a majority
of both these sets was vital to'the pen
nant hopes of the South Siders. Yet
Rowland lost at least one game with
the Senators and two with the Red
Sox because of his totally inexcusable
switching of pitchers while he cer
tainly lost another with Washington
by his poor judgment in sending run
ners to their death on the base lines.
While the White Sox as a team were
not there South Side fans were willing
to make allowances and still remain
loyal to Comiskey but now that the
team as a team measures up just a
bit higher than any other in the
league but is receiving set-back after
set-back due to poor tactics on the
part of their manager the South Side
fans for the first time in history are
displaying that antagonism against a
manager which means that a switch
must come.
Walter Hagan Champion;
Wins Western Honors
Special to the Telegraph
Milwaukee, Aug. 19. Walter Ha
gen, American professional of Roch
ester, N. Y., yesterday added the west
ern open golf championship to his list
of honors by completing the 72-hole
medal contest on the Blue Mound
country Club links in 28t> strokes. This
score equals that made by Chick
Evans, of Chicago, in winning the na
tional open title at Minneapolis re
cently. establishing a record for 72
holes in national competition. Hagen
recently won the Metropolitan cham
pionship and three years ago won the
national title.
Hagen had only one stroke to spare
as George Sargent, of Minneapolis, !
and Jack Hutchinson, of Pittsburgh,
tied for second place with 287. George
O. Simpson of Oak Park Club, Chi
cago, and James Barnes of Philadel
phia. followed with 288 each.
These five men won all the prizes,
as Simpson took the special prize for
best score during the tournament, and
established a record for the 5916-yard
course. He was pressed hard for this
honor by H. C. Lagerblade of Youngs
town. 0., who scored 67 on the last
round.

TWO FROM BILL
ALL IN ONE DAY
Islanders Back in Form Play
All Around Miners in
Double-Header
Scranton, Pa., Aug. 19. With
every man fighting hard and showing
regular form. Harrisburg yesterday
walked away with two games from
the Miners. There was no denying
the Islanders' right to these victories.
The first was rather decisive, score 14
to 3, und the second came with a
refrigerator certainty early, score
7 to 3.
Burns was the shrapnel heaver in
the first and he had Bill Coughlin's
pennant chasers doing numerous con
tortion stunts in their efforts to hit
the ball. Those errors back of the
Harrisburg youngsters served to pre
vent the locals a shut out. Harrisburg
gave the veteran, John Fox, an awful
drubbing.
In the second game with teeth set,
that twinkle in his eye meaning busi
ness, and a fast fielding bunch, Hel
trich annexed a victory, score 7 to 3.
Scranton had but two safeties. Har
risburg climbed all over Winters, the
Harrisburg boy. The scores follow;

WELLY'S kCORNER
It looks like a real baseball series
for the local amateur and semlprofes
sional championship. The West End
A. C., wants the city Utle and is await
ing challenges, and the Hick-a-Thrifts
are out to-day with a challenge to all
comers. This proposition must not be
overlooked. Arrangements should be
made according to wide-spread opin
ion.
The Harris Park team claims the
amateur championship. The St. Mary's
C. C. team of Steelton. former claim
ants, according to the local manager,
canceled to-day's game. This means
two victories for Harris Park, one by a
large score, and the other by default.
It looks as if Harris Park will have to
play a few other teams before annex
ing this year's title.
Harrisburg could not win four
games in one day. If that was possi
ble, the Islanders would have been
even with Scranton. No elub, after
losing five straight contests came back
stronger than Walter Blatr and his
aggregation yesterday. If the Barons
can be cleaned up, the Islanders will
return home in good shape.

Harrisburg's climb out of the damp
cellar was aided yesterday by the de
feat of Utica, Albany and Elmira.
Winning five or more straight victor
ies will place George Cockill's boys in
a prominent place in the second dl
sion. Harrisburg is only two games
back of Elmira. Albany is but two
and a half games away; and Utica is
five and a half games off.
Harrisburg has games at home with
every team now above the Islanders,
and with Syracuse and Binghamton.
According to the schedule there are 17
home games to play; and six on the
road. What the Islanders must do to
get further up, is to win from Utica,
Elmira and Albany, and take the ma
jority of the games on the road.
Syracuse trimmed Elmira yesterday
score 6 to 5. This helped some. It
was a clean sweep for the Stars.
Wilkes-Barre handed Albany a jolt,
score 7 to 1, and Harrisburg came
near the bunch above. Binghamton
fixed the Utes. It was all Harrisburg
in the'second division yesterday.
FAN SUES FOR DAMAGES
Special to the Telegraph
St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 19. The St.
Louis Browns were defendants in a
$15,000 suit here yesterday, brought
by a fan who says he was wrongfully
accused of stealing a baseball batted
into the stands. While the ball was
being passed about, he alleged a park
watchman grabbed him by the wrist
and led him to the club's office where
he claims he was detained for 25 min
utes and greatly humiliated.
