The old-time fighting spirit of the locals was not in evidence when opportunity came to %core. Walker pitched good ball and was stingy with his bingles. UUca touched up Hums at the right time. The Islanders that faced Utica yes terday were minus the services of I Catcher Wheat. His place was ably i filled by Walter Blair, but there are times when run's are too quiet, and Wheat's absence was felt by yester day s patrons, not because Manager Blair did not have the goods, but Wheat's chattet was missed. Every body on the team worked hard. I Breaks were against the locals and i things came easy for the visitors. How Runs Canie Two passes, a double and two singles gave Utica three runs at the start. Two singles and a sacrifice brought one lu the second. Three singles in the eighth oft Parsons, who went in ; because Burns was taken out for a • pinch hitter, brought one run. A 1 i double and two singles brought two! in the ninth. King's double and singles by Blair I | and Layden brought two runs in the j third for Harrisburg. and three singles added one in the seventh.

CARNEY Members of Harrisburg and West Fairvlew Sportsmen's Associations are in training for the big Westy Hogan shoot, starting September 12, at Atlan tic City. Local shooters have won honors in these annual events. This season it is expected that Harrisburg will have twelve entries and West Fair view six. They will leave Monday for the seashore. Next to the grand American trap shooting tournament the Westy Ho gans is the biggest trapshooting car nival of the year. This is the tenth year of the Hogans. The place is Venice Park. For four years the shoot was held on Young's Pier, but when flames gutted the pier the Hogans were forced to find other shooting grounds and selected Venice Park and the tourna ments have been Just as successful there as they were on the old pier. Trophies Numerous More trophies are given at the Westy Hogans tournament than any tourney of th« year other than the grand American. More money is also given than in any other tournament except ing the G. A. H., there is just as much sociability—maybe more—than at any other tournament held in the country. The shooters bring along their wives, daughters, sweethearts and sons, and anyone attending a Hogan shoot sel dom fails to play a return engagement. The first year of the tournament was 1907 and there were 63 entries; 1908 saw 104; 1909 brought 178, and in successive years the entrants have been 233. Hogans expect to go over the 300 mark again this year. 1 ear after year the Hogans "pull" something new in the way of trap shooting. This year is no exception. They have billed a team race between the East and the West. Each con testant will shoot at 500 targets on the regular program of three days. State Championship Race . The State championship team race will be shot on September 13, being decided in the last 100 targets of the 175 thrown. Each State can be repre sented by from five to ten shooters, but no State can have more than one team. Five trophies go to the winning aggregation. Last year New York de feated Pennsylvania by one target, and New Jersey by three, the scores being 48::. 452 and 4SO. Eight States were represented. The last 100 targets of the program on the 14th will decide the Westy Hogan amateur champion ship. The Atlantic City cup will be the feature event on the loth. This will be at 150 targets. This trophy be comes the permanent possession of any trapshooter winning it three times. It was won in 1910 by Charles H. Newcomb, of Philadelphia, and in succeeding years by F. S. Wright, of Bufalo. N. Y.; Allen Heil. of Alien town. Pa.: R. H. Bruns, of Indiana: nolfolk Henderson, of Lexington. Ky„ and F. S. Wright, of Buffalo. Therefore Mr. Wright has two legs on the trophy.
