ISLANDERS WIN ANOTHER GAME OVER BINGOES
HELFRICH HOLDS
CALHOUN'S COLTS
Islanders, in Hitting, Mood Ice
Game Before Rain Falls;
Six-Inning Battle
Manager "Red" Calhoun yesterday
offered up Pitcher Harned. It was a
palatable feast for the Islanders and
but for a downpour of rain that reach
ed full force after two Bingoes "were
retired in the seventh inning It would
have been a record day for safeties.
Harrisburg won, score 6 to 0. It was
a six-inaing battle.
Umpire Pflrman would have let the
game go to a finish If it would have
been possible to play on a muddy dia
mond. None of the players kicked.
The rain was a blessing after the hot
spell. While it was difficult to field
with accuracy, some fast work was in
evidence during the rainfall.
Helfrlcti Has Puzzlers
Helfrich was the big boy for Har
risburg with his puzzlers. Four scat
tered hits in four innings was the best
the Bingoes could do. Some of the
hits by the Calhoun crowd were la
beled for bingles. but Downey. Brown,
Layden and Cook robbed the pennant
chasers with sensational fielding.
Hits by Gough. Elliott and Mills and
a sacrifice by Wheat brought the first
run. In the fourth, singles by Brown,
Gough, Mills and Layden, sacrifices
by Wheat and Helfrich and an error
by Senna, added four more runs. The
sixth came in the fifth on Downey's
single and stolen base; and a safety by-
Brown. The score:

Mabel Trask Is Thriller
in Grand Circuit Races
Special to the Telegraph
Cleveland. .Aug. 24.—Mabel Trask
and St. Frisco, in the western reserve
2:08 trot, furnished the thrills yester
day at the North Randall Grand Cir
cuit meeting. AVith the wind blowing
a gale along the mile ring, the mare,
piloted by Cox, and the stallion driven
by the veteran Geers, raced neck and
neck through the entire course in all
three heats, the Trask mare getting
the first two heats and the race and
Geer's horse nosing out the winner
In the third heat.
It was a great race and stirred the
big throng to wild enthusiasm. Mabel
Trask was the favorite, but St. Frisco
gave her a great battle in the first
two heats, the second heat being
stepped in 2:04%, remarkably fast
time considering the high wind. St.
Frisco managed to nose out the Trask
mare in the third heat, and the two
horses divided the major portion of
the $3,000 purse.
Miss Perfection, the favorite in the
2:11 trot, after getting off to a bad
start and finishing sixth in the first
heat, stepped off in the next two and
won handily over Hazel Laing, who
had won the first heat.

THURSDAY EVENING,
[WELLY'S k CORNER
Harrisburg will In all probability be
the place of meeting of New York
State League magnates when they get
together for a reorganization of the
Farrell circuit. This important con
ference may not take place before
January. Already Williamsport and
Allentown are moving for a repre
sentation. four Pennsylvania towns
are sure—Harrisburg, Reading, Wilkes-
Barre and Scranton.
Pep Young is moving up In the list
of batters. He Is one of a number of
former Harrlsburgers who have beer,
making good. Few baseball players
who leave this city to go up higher
have been failures. Those who have
not won laurels can be counted on the
fingers of one hand. Rube Bressler is
one. His failure was due to the fact
that he would not listen to those who
were willins to give him the necessary
instructions.
Syracuse looks like the season's
winner In the New York State League.
The Stars have been in a winning
stride for some time. The Star-
Gazette ( of Elmira, says: "Of the
sixty-seven games won by the Syra
cuse Stars this season, fourteen have
been won from Elmira, ten each from
Wilkes-Barre, Harrisburg and Read
ing, nine from Binghamton, eight from ,
Utica and six from Scranton. The
Twinks have been beaten forty-five

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
NEED NEW NAME
FOR STATE LEAGUE
Change Will Come During the
Winter; Plans Now Under
Discussion
When the season's business of the
New York State League has been
wound up, plans will start for a reor
ganization of the oldest circuit. Re
ports say that club owners are already
discussing probable changes. With
the addition of Reading the organiza
tion can no longer be called a New
York State League.
There is a probability that other
franchises may be sold before next
season's plans are complete. Bing
hamton backers according to reports
are ready to sell out and there have
been rumors that Elmira owners
might dispose of the club if induce
ments are offered. According to a
general belief there will be little trou
ble in getting cities next season. The
Syracuse Post Standard says:
Change M ust Come
"An interesting situation has arisen
with the transfer of the Albany fran
chise to Reading, Pa- The so-called
New York State League of which
Reading is now a member, has ceased
to be a New York State League, inas
much as four of its members belong to
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
"For several seasons Wilkes-Barre
and Scranton owners have been clam
oring to change the name of the cir
cuit, but John H. Farrell has stuck
grimly to his guns, and, backed by the
owners of clubs in this State, of which
there has always been a majority, suc
ceeded in having the circuit retain the
name it has borne for 21 years. Svra
cuse, Troy, Albany, Utica, Bingham
ton and Elnaira have stood solidly with
the league executive and every effort
to have the name changed has proven
unavailing.
Now, however, a different situation
has arisen. The balance of power is
equally divided,between New York,
and Pennsylvania, each State having
four clubs. It is likely that Harris
b"rK. where the Troy franchise was
shifted late in June, and Heading will
join hands with Wilkes-Barre and
Scranton in the demand that the name
of the circuit be changed.
As a matter of .fact the present
is a misnomer, Xew York State has
shown it cannot support a Class B
organization without the assistance of
Pennsylvania. That being the case,
Pennsylvania should have a word as
to the name of the organization."
"Pep" Young Star Hitter;
Cleans Up For Detroit
Special to the Telegraph
Philadelphia, Aug. 24.—Two Phila
delphia boys, "Pep" Young and George
Burns, were the slugging aces in De

Young. former Phillie and Yankee,
who originally came from the Harris
burg Tri-State team, was the leading
whaler, with four hits in five times at
bat. His batting log showed three
bingles and a double.
Burns, of Tioga fame, was right at
Young s heels. The tall first baseman,
who was in a temporary batting slump
earlier in the week, lashed a home run
into the left field bleachers and also
had a pair of singles.
It took the Philadelphia boys to
show the mighty Ty Cobb how to pile
up hits.
Cobb had his hands full in getting a
pair of bunts. He beat both of them
out and was robbed of another hit b'y
Wally Schang In the seventh inning,
when the latter chased his drive in
deep left center and caught the ball
while falling to the ground.
