8 HARRISBURG ON LAST TRIP-RAIN PREVENTS MARYSVILLE FROM LANDING FLAG WINTERS DENIES COCKILL'S STORY Local Manager Reads Letter and Makes Final Statement; Secretary Seiss Talks Before leaving for his home on Sat i urday Manager George Cocktll said the controversy over Pitcher Winters was ■closed for the present. He is still of the opinion that he was not treated •fairly by the local twirler and that his old-time friend, Bill Coughlin, gave him an ugly deal. Pitcher Winters, writing to a friend from Scranton, denies that he has vio lated any confidence and claims that no offer was made to him by Harris burg. The letter received from Win ders follows: * "Just received your letter and also piece out of paper. Well. 1 had a talk with Cockill down in front of the Patriot one evening, but he sent for me to come down there to see him, ,and he told me to come over on the Island whenever 1 could. I was over three or four times and the day Scran |ton was there Coughlin was talking to ;mc, and Cockill. seeing this, sent for ;me to come over to the clubhouse. I was pitching to Scranton for batting practice at the time. Talks With Cockill "I went over to the clubhouse and .had a talk with him (Cockill) and he asked me if I could come over when | they came home for more practice. I said X would providing I can get off Iworli. But he said nothing about con tract or money. So that evening I went down to seee Coughlin, as he asked me fto go along. He told me what he would give me and said use me in my turn to get the experience, as he had no chance for the pennant. "So he being a good friend of my hoss, he spoke to him, and my boss eays to me, 'lf you want to go to Scran ton, I will leave you off for a month.' If I would have received such an offer front Cockill 1 would have stayed at home. (But I am glad I came to Scranton.) SNOW BALL." What Cockill Says Manager George Cocklll when shown 'the abov eletter said: "He is not tell ing the truth. I had a conversation ■with him at the clubhouse. He asked me if he had a chance to get with Harrisburg and I asked him whether ho wanted to do anything this season. "Winters told me that he would not take lip any other work before next season; that he had a chance to go with Scran ton, but was told that Bill Coughlin was not a good man to play with, and he would rather stay in Harrisburg. "Winters said he preferred to wait until next season, ajid I advised him that it was a good course to pursue, as he would probably be in better shape to talk business, and I offered him a chcnce to stay in Harrisburg. "He was pleased with what I said snd gave me assurance that he would stay here and not go with any team this season. I supposed he knew what it meant to give me his promise, and I was more than surprised to find he had gone to Scranton. I gave him every chance. No teams were men tioned. as he did not ask for any, and promised to practice with the Harris burg team." Secretary Prank Selss was present during the conversation between Man ager Cockill and Pitcher Winters and said yesterday: . "After promising George that he ■would not sign up for this season, and preferred to stay in Harrisburg, I was more than surprised when T reached Scranton to find Winters there play ing with Coughlin. I could not under stand why he would go back on his word after being so sincere with his promise and pleased with the advice Manager Cockill gave him. I under stand there was a tempting offer, and if this can be proven, it will be a ques tion whether Winters can play at Scranton. He told me he was there for this season only, but I was told that he had signed for next season also." Harrisburg Motive Power Team Loses to Trenton Harrisburg's Motive Power team •was easy picking for Trenton on Saturday losing by a score of 14 to 2. The Tigers won the season's cham pionship.

ISLANDERSAWAY ON FINAL TRIP Nine Hard Games Ahead; Harrisburg Split Even With the Colonels Harrisburg will be the big attraction on the Farrell circuit this week. Un der the direction of Walter Blair, the Islanders will play Syracuse. Utlca and Reading.

On Saturday Elmira and the Island ers split even. The first game went to the Colonels, score 6 to 1, and the sec ond was all Harrisburg with 5 to 1.

It MARYSVILLE LOSES CHANCE TO WIN All Dauphirf-Perry Games Off Because of Rain; Few Ama teur Contests on Saturday The rain on Saturday put a crimp in the Dauphin-Perry League games and also In the local amateur and semiprofessional contests. The impor tant battle for the upper end was to have been between Marysville and Dauphin. A victory for the leaders would have been the nailing of the pennant flag to the mast. Arrange ments will be made to play all post poned games before the season closes. Praises are many for Manager Frank Stees, of the Marysville team, for his good work this season. He has not made a change in his line-up all sea son, every player figuring In the long list of victories. He has used but one pitcher, and the club's batting average is .312. Stees is a successful baseball leader. He directs his team from the couching line. He has many offers for next season, but will not decide upon his course until next Spring. One game was played in the Dau phin-Schuylkill League. Williams town won from Trenton, score 4 to 2. The battle went only six innings. In the local series the Stanley A. C. pulled one over on the Pennsylvania Rail road Elects winning by a score of 9 to 3. Cooper pitched a great game, re ceiving excellent support. Goldsboro came back in a game with .New Cumberland, winning by a score of 7 to 3. Fahler allowed but four hits and received brilliant sup port. A team of Harrisburg stars won the game at Clear Springs, score 3 to 0. Wagner pitched for the locals and was hit for two scratch safeties. St. Mary's C. C. won over Highspire A. A., score 9 to 7. It was a hitting argument. At Hershey two games were played. In the morning the Lucknow team de feated Enola, score Bto 3. Both teams had costly errors. Alcorn pitched a good game. The Men's Club of Her shey lost to Harris Park, score 6 to 2. The Harrisburgers played a fast game in the field. The Keeners won a six innlng game from Midway, score 5 to 1. Only one game was played in the j Now York State League, Utica win ning over Wilkes-Barre, score 3 to 2. HOW ABOUT JAPAN ? By Frederic J. Haskin [Continued From Editorial Page] j Manchuria have a direct interest in (the way the Manchurian railways are j run. They have a right to demand the same treatment for all concerned in ithe matter of freights, and when Jap \ an carries Japanese goods free, or at ! half price, she violates those rights. | What is less a matter of principle and | more to the practical point, she puts j the foreign competitor out of busi- I ness. American cotton trade is a case |in point. Formerly it led in Man jchuria; now it is far behind. While it is impossible to excuse j the Japanese policy on such a ground, i foreign merchants took some consola j tion from the fact that the new pro i gram was to be in effect for only one j year. The same extenuating circum- I stance seemed to attach to many oth ler abuses —they might prove only tem porary. For instance, there was the matter of import duties. It was charg ed by many foreign merchants that Japanese goods were being imported j free of duty. while foreign goods were taxed. Such charges were hard to substantiate, because the Japanese officials flatly denied them, but they i arose so spontaneously from so many different sources that it is difficult to see how they could all have been un -1 founded. AUGUST 28, 1916. [WELLY'S If CORNER 1 The thirty-sixth annual national lawn tennis championship tournament opened to-day at Forest Mills. L. 1. There axe 128 entries Including Wil liam M. Johnston. Clarence J. Grif fith and Maurice E. McGloughlin. The Lindner Shoe team in the Car lisle Industrial league on Saturday won over the Businessmen's team and clinched the pennant for the season. F. Kramer, the pitcher, for Lindners was a big factor in victories. This is an important week in ma jor 'eagues. The Phillies' chances to win the pennant depends on the results of the games with Chicago. The Braves must be considered as their pitching staff is In showing form. Brooklyn's slump appears to be at an end. If the Dodgers keep up the pace shown a month ago. there will be no question as to national honors. In the American League Boston has the lead. Five other teams, however, are closely following the Red Sox and this week will find many Interesting battles. Detroit, New York and Cleve land are still in the running. Aim to Get 4,300 Names on Jitney Petition Striking carmen continued their canvass to-day to get registered voters to sign the jitney petition, and at 1 o'clock this afternoon the total was 2543. Two mass meetings will be held to-morrow evening at 7:15 o'clock at Sixth and Maclay streets and Thir teenth and Market streets. Speakers will be James Maurer and C. F. Quinn, of the State Federation of Labor; I. E. Robinson, J. J. Thorpe, Hugh L. McLaughlin and J. J. Parthemore. On Saturday, 209 more registered voters signed the jitney petition in the City Clerk's office, and at the close of the day the total was 2487. Labor leaders in the city and union men are now working to get more than 4300 signatures, more than half the num ber of votes cast for Mayor at the last municipal election. R. Ross Seaman, assistant city clerk, has made a partial check-up of the names and stated that the percentage of qualified voters was high enough to insure the validity of the petition. Last night J. J. Thorpe and Hugh L. McLaughlin, of the striking car men's union issued a statement claim ing that the trolley cars are being operated by inexperienced men and that they are violating traffic regula tions by not halting at track intersec tions. Voters were also urged to sign the jitney petition. Fiftieth National Camp of G. A. R. Is Opened Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 28. With the calling to order this morning of the executive committee the fiftieth national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic was ushered into official being. Immediately following was the ses sion of the committee on credentials. Meetings of the woman's relief corps, and other allied organizations of the G. A. R. were held at their head quarters. Convention hall where the meetings of the encampment will be held, was gaily decorated for the vet erans. | CROKER RETIRING FROM TURF I.onrlon, Aug. 28. Dublin corre spondents state that Richard Oroker, 1 former leader of Tammany Hall, is retiring from the turf temporarily and is going to the United States or ac count of the condition of his eyes. Sir. j Croker is selling all his horses in training, but is retaining his sires and | brood mares. Beginning to-day a popular Harris, burg player will be seen with Connie Alack. His name is Don Brown, and he has been the fast boy in left field for the Islanders. Brown's departure will cause many regrets, but every fan believes he belongs in faster com pany and hopes to see him move up in the major batting and fielding list. Outfielder King will come to Har risburg. He is said to be a fast boy and a promising hitter. Harrisburg fans who wanted to see the local Motive Power team win are quite sore over the fact that in their opinion some one practically handed Trenton the pennant. Rules make it prohibitory to play off postponed games after the season ends. Accord ing to reports here officials set aside the rules to allow Trenton to have a game at home on Saturday. The work of the Harrisburgers was not in the same class as that during the season. The game should have been played on a neutral ground, and the general opinion prevailing here is that for the second time Harrisburg has been made the "goat" in the Motive Power series.
