The Phillies are ln first place all I
by themselves. Although they did |
not play in Boston yesterday on ac
count of rain, Brooklyn, which was ]
tied with the Moranmen for the I
lead, split a double-header with !
the Giants and thereby dropped i
one point ln the standing. The

Bits From Sportland
Some game.
One more to-day if it does not rain.
Every player in yesterday's game
was fighting until the run was scored.
Lew Ritter watched the game from
the grandstand.
Walter Blair's leadership was again
a big factor, along with his fine throw
ing.
If there is any man in the League
who can get over more ground and
use his head as well as Cook, trot
him out.
King is a fast boy and he can swing
his stick at the right time.
Those tnrows to second by Walter
Blair were the subject of much gossip
to-day.
Baseball fans owe It to George
Cockill to give the wind-up games a
big patronage.
Millersburg Athletic Association
plans for a great booster crowd on
Saturday at the wind-up game In th«
Dauphin-Perry league.
There Is some talk that Marysvllle
ha£ quit for the season and will not
play the game with Dauphin. The
report could not be confirmed.
In the seventh inning yesterday
Helfrlck retired the side on four
pitched balls.
Layden was chasing them in center.
Tom Downey is some boy at third,
notwithstanding his Charley Horse.
Harrison had little to do yesterday.
Mills is always on the move. He is
| one of the hardest and njost conscl
! entious workers in the league.
Elliott has no need to worry over
! his record this season. He has been
I hitting the ball and fielding like a
j fiend.

GREAT FINISH IN
GAME WITH UTES
Islanders acore Winning Run
in Ninth Inning in Greatest
Pitchers' Battle of Season
Weather ,permlttinß. the Utes will
wind up the season with HarrJaburg at I
Island Park this afternoon. It is prob- I
able that Walker, who won the first!
same on Tuesday, will be given a;
chpr.cc to pitch his last same against
Harrlsburg. He Is slated for the draft
list, according to reports, and la anx
ious to make a record for the season.
Walter Blair expected to use Huenke.
Mike O'Neill, with his champions, |
will be here to-morrow and Saturday, i
The season ends at home with Sat- j
urday's game unless there Is a further
switch In the schedule. Harrlsburg
has one game scheduled with Reading ;
for Sunday and will play It on Mon
day. As yet no plans have been an- |
nounced for post-season games. It Is
probable that the team will return to
Harrlsburg next Tuesday and disband l
lor the season.
Victory In Ninth
Victory over the Utes came yester- j
day in the ninth with two men down, j
It was a gruelling pitchers' contest
from start to finish. Helfrlch and i
Ring both showed speed and were
tlgljc in pinches. Every man on the
local team was a star. Harrisburg had j
men on bases In three Innings, while '
Utica had players on the bags in six
Innings. Only one Ute reached third
base. Ar. early victory for Harrlsburg
would have been possible but for j
Downey's bad leg. He was unable to
show any speed on the bags.
An Interesting feature yesterday was
the work of Walter Blair. His throw
ing to second was a big factor In shut
ting off runners. The two errors
chalked up against the locals were on j
hard hit balls and not costly. Cook ;
was the best fielding star and Downey's j
hitting brought the answer.
In the ninth King opened with a
strikeout. Cook followed with a fly
out to center. Layden hit to O'Rourke.
who was unable to handle the ball
promptly, and in trying to shoot it
over sent the ball Into the right field i
bleachers. Layden took second.
Downey, the next man up, had two
balls and one strike. The next ball
pitched was to his liking and he sent
it ro center field for a single, Layden
scoring the run and victory. The
score follows:

That's another point where Atlantic Gasoline shows
strong. Besides the zip and the snap that make motors
reel off landscape like tape, it's got the stretch that
I looms up big on the speedometer. Phoney fuels lose
out on the mileage test —they can't stand the gaff.
There is one gasoline that, despite market conditions,
maintains the uniform boiling-point that made
it famous— Atlantic. Play safe. Get that one gasoline.

WELLY'S CORNER
Local baseball fans are plavlng a
cheap game these days, getting their
Information from the score boards.
Patronage at island Park has been
rather slim and Manager George Cock
ill does not wear a pleasant smile.
During the balance of the week scores
of the big games will be announced at
intervals at the Island.
Manager George Cockill would like
to see one banner crowd before the
season ends. Yesterday's battle was
one of the greatest seen this season.
A New Yorker who was here on a visit
and Is Identified with the newspaper
game in the Metropolis was a specta
tor. At the conclusion of the battle
he said: "I have seen many major
league games but never witnessed any
that was more exciting and in which
pitchers did better than to-day. You
people are certainly getting good base
ball."
A strong effort is being made to
have a scholastic river meet before the
winter sets In. Officials in the Harris
burg Academy have been talking over
plans. A meeting will be held shortly.
It is planned to Invite high schools in
other cities have rowing clubs to par
ticipate. Harrisburg will have a war :
canoe event and if any other cities has
the equipment other entries will be
permitted. It is the belief that rowing
will be made an Important factor in
scholastic athletes from now on, and
that close attention will be given to
boating and swimming.
John Fox will quit the season a big
winner. The Reading pitcher who
was a factor in bringing Tri-State pen
nants to Harrisburg is a policeman
when not playing baseball. He says
this Is better than being an Iron
worker.
The Phillies gained yesterday by
not playing. The crucial games are
still on. Brooklyn meets Boston and
there will be some baseball playing
by the Dodgers to prevent a further
slide down the toboggan. Some fans
are of the opinion that Brooklyn Is
Athletics Lose One More;
One Hundredth Defeat
Philadelphia* Sept. 7. Boston took
the third game of the series from the
Mackmen yesterday, and It was well
that the champions won. for Detroit
tripped the Browns in a ter.-inntng
game, and the Red Sox still lead the
American League race by one full
game. The score of yesterday's tilt
was 5 to 2.
Dutch Leonard who recently hurled
a no-hit, no-run game, had tho Mack-
Ites at his mercy, but he was nicked
safely seven times by the tallenders
for a total of thirteen bases.
Tom Sheehan was opposed to the
world's champions, and he was touch
ed up at a lively gait, especially ln the
third inning, when three runs were
scored off him. It was the ono-hun
dredth loss for the MacUmon.
TO OPERATE AUDION DETECTORS
F. W. Cocklin, 1630 North Fifth
street, and L. W. Barnhart, both pro
fessional wireless operators of this
city, have purchased Audion detectors,
with which they expect to conduct sev
' eral wonderful tests. The Audion de-
due for a fall. The Philadelphia play
ers benefited by yesterday's rest.
One thing is certain. Manager Con
nie Mack will not be interfered with
in his record for games lost. He drop
ped the century contest yesterday.
This is an unusual thing in baseball.
It, has been decided to make the Fall
tournament of the Harrisburg Park
Tennis Club a "Round Robin" event.
