SIXTH HARRISBURG WINS AFTER BAD SCARE Heat Hits Hucnkc in Eighth; Volz Comes to His Rescue; Locals Hit Timely It was Haxrisburg's day yesterday. Rather hot at Island Park, small crowd and a corking good game. Har risburg won; score. 7 to 5. There was a spell during which it looked as if Binghamton was going to tie things up and make extra innings necessary. The end came satisfactory to Walter Blair and the rest of the local bunch. Huenke. who had been sent hom-j for a rest, had one Texas leaguer credited against him in the first in ning. He mowed down the Bingoes every Inning up to the eighth and then the heat hit the boy hard and he weakened. Things looked bad for th-S local twirler in the eighth and ninth. Volz went in and held the Calhoun bunch. Sitton lias Bad Start Sitton pitched for Binghamton and after the first inning had puzzlers working up to the seventh inning, when the local hitters made another connection. Layden started the trouble in the first and then came a series of hingles and good base running that brought the four runs. Three more came in the seventh on safeties, sacri fice and speedy work on the bags. In the eighth and ninth Bingham ton got busy with the stick and with Huenke's bad throw to first started with two runs in the seventh. In the final inning Volz came to the rescue and the game ended.

Flickers For Fans We've said some harsh, unfeeling things About the Starry Stoppers, We didn't look with joy upon Their early sreason croppers; Be that, however, as it may, Our present choice of theme Concerns this Howard Ehmke guy— A grand old baseball team. —"The Judge" in Elmira Star-Gazette. Islanders won. Binghamton the victim. Bad scare at the wind-up. Huenke pitched great ball for seven innings. How those boys did hit in the open ing inning. Only one double-header this week. Elmira plays two games on Saturday. Infielder Reed has been released by Harrisburg. He Is playing with Brad ford. Bingoes will be the attraction to-day and to-morrow. Manager George Cockill looked over the Blue Riage circuit and was pleased with the fast baseball offered. He found a few youngsters who look like comers. The West End team will meet Mld dletown In a game on Seneca and Fourth street grounds Saturday. Lew Rltter is playing with the John sonburg team of the Interstate League. Almeda, Infielder for the Scranton team, who belongs to Montreal, has been ordered to return at the end of the New York State League season. In the Dauphia-Schuylklll League series yesterday TTower City trimmed Lykens, score STo 4. Zieglar pitched a good game for the league leaders, but had poor support. Wid Conroy, of El'mira, has been released by Hartman and Zacker. Bedenk will play short and Sullivan go to left field. Harrisburg's mascot appeared in a | new uniform yesterday. Umpire Pfirman is all alone. The I suspension of Doherty makes this nec essary. He had a good day, falling ( down several times on balls and j strikes. Cook plays a heady game at all times. He watched Huenke closely and the minute the mound artist weakened he was there with advice. Huenke gets credit for winning yes terday's game. Volz was a big help. Elliott's work is attracting attention everywhere. This boy has the best of : the league infielders on fast work. I All the teams are going a fast clip. 1 The Wilkes-Barre aggregation looks ' better than any of them at present. "Red" Calhoun is playing the game with his old-time "pep." The Bingoes are all right when they | hit. Huenke had them bluffed for a iim9 yesterday. Eddie Zimmerman is not a has-been by any means. He may be in & hitting slump for a time, but his work at third us in the past is clean cut. He Is good for a long time to come. James Ten Eyck, Jr.. coach of the Duluth Boat Club crews since 1911, yesterday announced hi 3 permanent retirement as a coach, giving pressure of eastern business Interests as the reason. The local crews have been very successful under Ten Eyck's di rection. The acquisition of Reading adds a good baseball town to the league, but i it destroys the balance of power al ways held by clubs of this State in a league meeting. Henceforth the Penn sylvania cities will have as much to say about the conduct of the circuit n.« the New York State members.— Star-Gazette, Elmira. NEW YORK STATE IiEAGCE In the New York State League yM- : terday all games wore close. The Barons trimmed the Stars, score 3 to 1. Kutz let Syracuse down with four hits. • Haas and Kirkpatrick were star hit- 1 ters. Scranton won from Utlca. I Buckles was the winning pitcher, al- S lowing but three hits. Smith was hit I for a bunch of blngles in two innings. Elmira won the opening game from j . Reo.ding. score 2 to 1. It was a; pitching duel. 1 HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH "Bobby" Wallace Is Real League Veteran BOBBY WAI'I/ACE. The return of "Bobby" Wallace to I baseball as a member of the Browns! is a reminder that In point of service ' he is the real major league veteran' now. While "Bobby" is a few months younger than 'Hans" Wagner he was i in the National League before the Pittsburgh wonder started. Wallace started his baseball career : as a pitcher. Joining the old Cleveland ! National League club in 1895. Wag- j ner did not get started until 189 7. two years later, when he threw in his lot with the Louisville Nationals. Be-; tween the advents of Wallace and i Wagner. Lajole, now with the Athle- I tics, came into the league, starting with the Phillies in 1596. Wagner was 42 last February. Wallace will be 42 in November, while Lajoie Is 41. "Eddie" Plank is just five days older than "Larry," and In many ways i is the most wonderftil performer of the quartet. However, Plank did not i start in the big league until 1901, when ] he joined the Athletics direct from college.

WELLY'S k CORNER Reading started the New York League season yesterday with & crowd. Fans In that city will sec> good ■port for two weeks. Everybody helped to boost the game yesterday. Mayor Filbert was out, and press dis patches Say he paid to see the game. The mayor -jf Reading has nothing on Mayor E. S. Meals because he pays his way to see baseball games. Har risburg's executive buys two coupon books each season and he goes to every game when his health permits. Isasoball fans hero are of the opinion that If other city officials would follow the Mayor's example the game would bo more successful. George Cockill. the big-hearted manager, ever ready to turn a trick for a friend, has been double-crossed At least, a report to that eifect Is In circulation.

Hashishiro Mi kami, of Japan, lost to Rowland Rob erts, of San Francisco, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1. There was considerable criticism of McL-oughlin's withdrawal because of assurances that Ijie intended to com pete. The tournament established a record for defaults of high-class com petitors with a total of seventeen for the day. The extreme heat and the approach of the national tournament next week were the chief reasons for the failure of McLoughlln and Kurragae to compete. ters also figures in the deal. The Har risburg twlrler asked Manager Cockill for a tryout. He was told to got Into uniform and come out for practice.

READING LOSES IN FIRST GAME Large Crowd Shows Approval of New York State League Baseball Special to the Telegraph Heading, Pa.. Aug. 28. Reading made its debut as a member of the New York State League here yester day with a demonstration on a plane with the early Spring openings, and the only feature that discolored the auspiclousness of the event was tha defeat of the locals by the Elmira club in a grueling battle, score 2 to 1. The opening ceremonies Included a band concert and Mayor Filbert of ficially opened the delated season by tossing out the first ball. New life seemed to be injected into the Albany players by their transfer here and the result was a sensational battle. "Eadie" Gerner, a Philadelphia south paw, and Creager furnished a pitch ing duel that had the large crowd on edge from sta;-t to finish. A fluke home run in the eighth enabled El mira to tie the score and they moved out ahead by timely hitting in the ninth. The biggest week-day crowd in local history turned out to greet the Wan derers. Tho club will remain at the circu;; maxim us for the balance of tho season and will be admitted as a reg ular member of the circuit in 1917.
