The Stars are now going at a fast clip and with Ehmke pitching in form Mike O'Neill is sure to land the flag. Pill Coughlin is not looking for pen nant honors this season, but he is do ing his best to keep in second place. Hut for the slump some weeks ago the Miners would now be running neck and neck with the Stars. The board of governors of the Motor Club of Harrisburg will meet to-mor row night at 109 North Second street. Thij will be the first meeting in the club's new headquarters. The gov ernors will have a more roomy meet ing place and the club has four rooms at its disposal. In the same building is located Frank B. Bosch, the presi dent of the Motor and the change gives Secretary J. Clyde Myton better opportunity to keep in touch with the club president. At a meeting of the Allison Hill League officials to-morrow night the Rosewood team, winner of this sea son's championship, will be awarded the pennant. The meeting will be at Rosewood headquarters, Thirteenth and Walnut streets. STRIKE MAY TIE UP BALL GAMES Manager George Cockill Will Await Development; Can Use Automobiles Harrisburg is scheduled for six games at Island Park next week. Whether the strike will affect the New York State League contests, Is a ques tion. Manager George Cockill said last night that it all depended on the Syra cuse and Utica teams getting here. He added: We will he home before thi strike is In effect. Harrisburg lias two games with Reading- on Monday. Lack of train facilities will not interfere with the games being played at Reading. We can travel by autos and till the Labor Day dates. It Is the games at home that has us guessing. Railroads prom ise to keep the passenger trains mov ing. If they do, there will be no inter ference with the games. Utica will be the worst off as they come from • ome to this city. Syracuse must jump on Monday night from Utica to Reading. So we are sure of at least the final games with the Stars. How ever, we will wait for developments." An Associated Press dispatch from Chi cago says: "Plans for transporting ball tfams in case of a general railroad strike by motor, boat and interurhan trolley have been discussed In every league which would be affected, it was learn ed here to-day. President Johnson of the American league, was not in his office, but at the office of the Chicago Nationals it was said no Interruption in the schedule was expected as tenta tive plans for moving the teams from town to town by motorcars where trol ley or boats were not available al ready had been arranged. "Boat lines from Buffalo to Cleve land or Detroit and thence for most of the way to Chicago the trolley lines will be used by teams here and prob ably the St. Louis clubs. The exten sive trolley system of Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois will make solution of the transportation problem not diiftcult. "The proposition that interhague games be substituted for those of the regular schedule lias been suggested in case of a general tleup of all means of transportation." AITOS KOK NATIONALS New York, Aug. 31.—N0 arrange ments for the transportation of base ball teams should the threatened rail road strike be called, have been made or even discussed at National League headquarters here. The matter is one for the individual clubs and not the league executives to arrange, it was said. Most of the National League games during the remainder of the sea son are to be played in eastern cities, and by doubling up with two games each day it would be possible, it was pointed out, to carry the players by automobiles between Philadelphia, New York, Brooklyn and Boston while the few games scheduled at St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Chicago might be played by those clubs dur ing their enforced stay In eastern ter ritory.

SYRACUSE WINS; FLAG IS CERTAIN Take Two From Islanders; Layden Tackles Umpire in Second Battle Special to the Telegraph Syracuse, N. V.. Aug. 31. Syra cuse virtually clinched the New York State League pennant to-day by win ning two games from Harrisburg, the scores being 8 to 3 and 3 to 2. Layden was put out of the second game in the sixth inning for throw ing Umpire McGowan to the ground following an argument over a pitched ball. Syracuse leads Scranton, which is in second place, by seven games. Parsons was bumped hard and of ten in the first game. His support was ragged. The locals secured a big lead in the first and second innings of the opening battle, on timely hits and errors. Parsons settled down for five innings. Harrisburg's runs came on bunched bingles. I.avdcn I.oscs His Head In the second game it was an inter esting pitchers' battle, the Stars mak ing their safeties count. The mixup came in the sixth inning when Umpire McGowan after calling three straight balls on the centerfielder, called a strike. Layden had previously lost his temper because the crowd jeered him and when Umpire McGowan re sented the ugly words used by the player, Layden pulled off the ump's mask and threw him to the ground. The players interfered and took Layden to the Clubhouse where a po liceman took charge of the Harris burger and escorted him from the grounds. Harrisburg had two rallies in this game, but could not overcome the one run lead. The scores: Flrat Gnnie HARRISBURG AB. R. H. O. A.
