FRIDAY EVENING,
ELMIRA HERE TO
WIND UP SERIES
Bingoes Drop Third Game to
Islanders; Parsons in Form;
Good Hitting
Elmlra, better known as the Colo
nels, are here for a series of three
games with the Islanders. The first
game was played this afternoon at
Island Park. It wil be the final ap
pearance of Wid Conroy's bunch in

ceipts will be turned over to a fund
and used to purchase baseball outfits
for each of the.three Harrisburg com
panies. This is Manager George
Cocklll's scheme and tickets which have
been on sale for several days indicate
a large crowd.
Harrisburg made a clean-up with
the Bingoes yesterday taking the
game by a score of 7 to 2. Barnhart's
curves were easy picking for the Is
landers and were piled up early in the
game. Parsons who officiated at the
mound for the Islanders had every
thing necessary to win a game. He
eased up after his teammates had iced
the game. The fielding of the locals
was a big factor. Binghamton went
to pieces near the windup of the game.
How Runs Came
Two bases on balls, an out at sec
ond and Irving's single brought the
first* run for the Bingoes. Three hits
netted another in the eighth.
Harrisburg started with one run
in the second on a single, stolen base
and double by Mills. Layden's single
Cook's sacrifice and Downey's double
brought the next run. Two were
chalked up in the fourth on a series
of safeties by Wheat, Mills and Par
sons and sacrifices by Elliott. Two
more came in the seventh on singles
by Layden and Downey and a double
by Gough with errors; and one In the
eighth on errors by Calhoun and Pepe,

companied by a brilliant Hash of light
ning, startled me. I heard my big fox
hound, who was chained to a post near
his box. give one of the most unearthly
howls that I ever heard. The next mo
ment I looked out and saw mv hound
tearing down the road. When the rain
had let up, I went into the yard and
found that the lightning had cut the
chain that held the dog, as clean as a
file could have done it."

old reliable battery. Dauphin will

hurler. Waltz will catch.

pected with Duncannon and Newport,
old rivals. Duncannon had been go
ing poorly all season, but during the
past few games appears to have struck
her stride and will work hard to
morrow. Saylor will likely twirl, al
though T. Miller may be used, while
Dearolf will don the mask, protector
and shin guards. Newport will likely
use Emerlck and Hart.
Old rivals will meet at MUlersburg
when Halifax lines up there. Halifax
may use Bowman in the box. Kline
will pitch for MUlersburg.

Judge by the Smell—Your Nose Knows
Ten different men —or ten different advertise
, ments- —will tell you that ten different tobaccos are
the best on earth.
Your nose will tell you one tobacco is the best
And your nose knows.
Make this simple test Rub some TUXEDO briskly between
your palms until the heat and friction bring out the full aroma, and
smell it Test every other tobacco you can get hold of in the same
way. Give them all a fair, square test l| , l| - Tfr
Your nose will say, "Oh, what a difference." Your nose will
tell you that TUXEDO is packed full of that delightful fragrance that
must mean supreme flavor and mildness. Your nose will tell you
that the other tobaccos don't meet the test—that they fall down hard.
Your pipe will back up what your nose says, TUXEDO is as
good as it smells. That's saying a whole lot—but the proof is wait
ing for you.
