MANAGER COCKILL COMES TO HARRISBURG TODAY TO START SEASON'S PLANS
LOCAL BOYS WIN
LISTLESS CONTEST
First Period Was Slow, but
Came Back Strong in Second
and Won Out Easily
Taking advantage of the wire back
board and caging nine out of nineteen
attempts from the field on Saturday
night In the closing period of a game
with the Vincome Ave. of Philadelphia,
the Harrisburg Independent quintet
was able to win out by the score of 37
to 24. It was the second defeat for
the Quaker City champs during the
day, having dropped a contest by the
score of 35 to 14 to the Shamokin team
In the afternoon.
The Quaker City tossers played a
strong defensive game during the
opening period and only allowed the
local team to score one goal from the
lleld. This was made by McConnell on
a hard bank shot from the side of
the cage.
Second Half Font
In the second half the visitors were
unable to stop the attack of Captain
McCord and his teammates. The first
half ended with the score at 11 to 7 in
favor of the local tossers. In this
period both teams missed easy goals.
Neither team showed much action in
the opening period and the playing was
rather listless, but in the second half
both came back strong. The local
team took advantage of the wire back
board and scored almost at will. Mc-
Cord and his player missed but few
chances, throwing 9 out of 19 tries.
McCord did good work from the foul
line and scored 17 out of 23 chances,
nine of which were scored in the first
half. The summary:

Report Record Entries For
Penn's Big Spring Carnival
By Associated Press
Philadelphia, April 2.—Three hundred
and twenty institutions are represented
in the list of entries for the University
of Pennsylvania relay carnival to be
held at Franklin Field on April 27 and
28. The entries, which closed to-day.
show that 75 colleges, 110 High schools,
63 preparatory schools, 75 grammar
schools and seven parochial schools j
will have men in the various events on j
the two days' program.
No official action has been taken re- j
garding the holding of the carnival
in the event of war. It was said by i
the management, however, that the
races probably would be held regard- j
less of the national situation.
MICHAEL C. BRADY WINNER
Pinehurst, N. C., April 2.—When Mi- j
chael C. Brady, the Oakley Club pro
fessional. took his stance for Ills last ■
putt in Saturday's North and South |
open championship tournament at Pine- ]
hurst, he figured that the sinking of i
that 30-foot putt probably would mean :
the game and something approaching j
SI,OOO. Consequently Brady decided to!
sink it, and did so, winning the thirty- :
six-hole contest on his 141 st stroke. j
As matters turned out Brady would j
have won even if he had missed the
putt, but he did not know that at the ,
time. He had started out, on the sec- |
ond round of the day, at 67, three ■
strokes ahead of C. H. Hoffner, and ]
four strokes ahead of Fred McLeod and j
Gil Nichols.

Come on. Old Kid. in pink and blue,
Bring back your breath of rose and wine,
Bring back the braise, far and true.
Tiring back the triple down the line;
We've drifted through the winter snow.
We've floundered on with burnt-out flame,
Come on, kick in and let 'er go.
Come on and give us back he Game.
Come on. Old Kid, in green and rose.
Bring back the fragrance to the loam;
We've wearied long of winter snows
Where now the Open calls us home;
Bring back the mashie to the cup,
Bring back Big Alex on the job;
Bring back the smash that ties her up
From Speaker, Jackson, Doyle or Cobb.
On the edge of April, the long green journey now lies just ahead. The
field now lies open, where, in the immortal words of Aristotle —"It's a great
life, if you don't weaken."
Oil the National I<cague Race
The National League race may rest in doubt, but none of this doubt is
entertained by American League clubs. Without exception they all figure the
Giants as their 1917 world series opponents, and few give any of the others
even a look-in.
We have talked with anywhere from twenty to twenty-five American
League players, and without exception they figure the Giants as sure a thing
as sure things can ever go in baseball.
This belief, however, is not entertained by at least three men. You are
entitled to one guess as to who the trio is, or are. You were right—Wilbert
Robinson, George Stallings and Pat Moran. These three veterans have seen
too many sure bets overturned before in this rickety pastime to lose heart
before a blow is struck.
The Upset Margin
The one queer feature of this National League race is that so many be
lieve the Giants have a good chance to be beaten just for the reason that they
n.ow look invincible.
They go well back and pick out the supposedly cinch episodes of the past
where painful upsets resulted and knowing the devious ways of the dope they
still accord Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Boston a good outside chance.
But the American League isn't figuring in this direction. Those who believe
they havo a chance to win are already aiming at the Giants.
Eor the Duffers
One of the early golf writers had a system of scoring that would make a
terrific hit with the duffers of to-day.
Back in the gray dawn of the "game in America this golf writer was
switched from another assignment to cover a tournament. He had never seen
a golf course, nor liad he ever seen a golf ball struck. It seems that his boss
was one of the entries. The aforesaid boss returned 100, while the low man
had a 77. In his story the next day the golf scribe had his boss leading the
field with a perfect 100, "the result of brilliant golf, 23 strokes beyond the
worst score, 77."
If the high scores were counted as in baseball or football, the duffer would
at last come into his own. The system seems perfectly proper, inasmuch as
there are ten golfers who play over 95 to one who plays under 80.
On I.ooking Up
Sir—ln a recent round of golf the only good holes I played were where 1
looked up, topped the ball and let it run to the cup. Whaddye mean "keen
your eye on the ball?" Why should X. H. K. J.
Their Game
In their game across the water,
Fate has only this to spin—
When the Score comes in at twilight,
Those who live are those who win.
They are looking not to glory
In the wild dash of the fray;
If they live and breathe at twilight
They are victors for the day.
Within the next few clays a livelier iris will come upon the burnished dove
and Ty Cobb's batting eye.
Several American League ball clubs figure the Red Sox out of it this sea
son. But as we recall the \ital statistics, the Red Sox were figured out of
it last April, when they lost Tris Speaker, and later on in September when thev
lost Jack Barry. Yet, when the world series kale was divided up in October
you may recall which club collected the major share of the ultimate proceeds.
Philadelphia has waited a number of delayed seasons for a championshln
golfer, but in young Norman Maxwell she has one who, at the least is now
pointed in the proper direction. This kid can't play golf any better than Thi
i Speaker can play center field. Not a bit. lhis

tion Saturday when a parade of citi

Bevolution, sent to Boston the first ri
flemen from west of the Hudson River
—here, where the Continental Congress,
fugitives from Philadelphia for nine
months from September, 1777, to June
17, 1 778, during the most trying period
of that struggle, found a safe retreat;
and here, where two of the signers of
the immortal Declaration of Independ
ence. James Smith, of York, Pa., and
Philip Livingston, of New York, arc
buried—to-day turned out in an inspir
ing flag parade, manifesting the same
devotion to our country's ideals which
characterized our forefathers 150 years

Rowdyism is starting early this
year with the major league players. As
the season is not open until April 11,
neither President John K. Tener .nor
Ban Johnson have any jurisdiction over
the Cobb-Herzog Incident.
University of Pennsylvania athletic
officials will not call off the Spring re
lay carnival unfll they are compelled
to. Until the war plans are fully out
lined it will be impossible to make any
definite arrangements regarding ath
letics. Those already planned will be
carried out unless otherwise ordered.
The only thing the locals can do is to
keep on training.
This is the day for the arrival of
Manager George Cockill. Baseball fans
would like to see him every day and
are longing for tile time when the play
ers will be busy at Island Park. Har
risburg patrons are anxious to get
busy.
The Motive Power League of the

Veteruna on Kach Team
The Altoona quintet is coached by
Sharadin, the former Bloomsburg ath
lete, who pitched for the Harrisburg
Tri-state team for a season. A coin
cidence in the line-up of both the teams
is the fact that both quintets contain
four veterans from last year, with but
one new player ,on either team. Al
toona has a real star in "Pat" Healy,
who has scored more than five tield
goals in 11 of the 26 games played
this season. Reading will look to
Nyqulst to bring home the honors for
the "Dutch." Both teams have a guard
named Dietrich.
The probable line-up for the cham
pionship game to-morrow night will
include:
Altoona. Heading
P. Healy. f. Nyqulst, f.
Vaughn, f. Wilson, f.
