16 MANAGER COCKILL IS BUSY MAN PLANNING DETAILS-SEEKS ISLAND LEASE COCKILL IS BUSY; SEEKS NEW LEASE Will Start Work at Island as Soon as Weather Condi tions Permit • One busy man to-day was Manager George Cockill. Several important de tails required his attention and he was on the move morning and afternoon. It was late when Manager Cockill ar rived and he will make up for lost time. He will remain here until plana are in good shape and it is time to start the training season. One of the tlrst things looked after was the re-!easing of Island Park. •Manager Cockill sent in his application to Council early and a favorable reply was looked for. As soon as the new lease is closed work will start on a number of improvements to the grand stand and bleachers. Meets llailroad Officials Another important conference to day was between Manager Cockill and officials of the Motive Power Athletic Association of the Philadelphia di vision of the Pennsylvania Railroad. All home games in the Pennsy League will be played at Island Park. This will mean a conflict in some of the Saturday dates, but it is understood that a satisfactory arrangement has been outlined and local fans will be benefited. Harrisburg will also go after other game transfers as the schedule is not very favorable to the local team. Manager Cockill said he bad about 30 players under consideration, but would not be able to make any definite announcement for a few days. He will start his campaign for support as soon as to-day's work was completed. He bas met with much encouragement to date.

The ninth member of the staff, George Moriarty, will be held in re serve. D TYRONE-"| But, once tossed into the seething muss, v I And the time arrives for a steady aim, a He may be clumsy and ponderous, But the old boy gets there just the same. It is still a question as to which would make the best grenade thrower —a ! \ ball player, a shot putter or a hammer tosser.' A grenade weighs about five J pounds—a weight somewhat too bulky to permit of the ball player's snap, 11 throw. It might be better to round upthe John Flannigans and Matt McGraths, ] c | rather than the Walter Johnsons and Alexanders. I.; Cleveland and Joe Wood * There is small wonder extant over Cleveland's interest in the pitching con ' j dition of Smoke-Bail Joe Wood. . . J I If you ever care to examine the records you will find that among those who ,; have pitched 100 or more major league games Wood ranks next to Alexander °| in winning effecti\ eness. Given a pitcher of 'his type back in shape, and i Cleveland would not only be a pennant contender, but a very stout pennant I possibility. The Wood-Speaker combination made the Red Sox invincible in I 1912 and the same pair could very easily make the Indians decidedly annoy c j ing in 1917. Another Entry List ' * I 0 Sir: We might not have any great grenade throwers in this country, but ' we should be fixed for pegging over the heavy bombs if our leading bull 1 ! tossers are ever lugged into action. In this respect we should be ready j e 3,000,000 strong, and that is a conservative estimate. 3 j PEDRO THE DOC. j It must be soothing, at that, to have a nature like unto Les Darcy's. where; ithe prospect of a ten round affair the proper financial adjustment is of far | more interest than all the wars that iver were, are or will be. Concerning April Showers t They may be great for the flowered pots, But they're roughasell on the mashie shots. f "A 1 Germany wants is a part of Northern France, Serbia and $3,000,000,000." I i'l And all Connie Mack wanted last year for a winning ball club were three 1 infielders, two outfielders, three pitchers and another catcher. Detroit and Pitchers i We observe one critic's remark that Hughey Jennings could have won a , I pennant last season with any other pitching staff in the major league. -1 With the exception of Connie Mack's erratic staff, this is probably true. ? And the tough part of it is that just at present there is no certainty that j f' Hughey's staff will he greatly improved. He has prospects, but prospects pop j) up in the Spring much after the manner of morning glories, only to fade under the first hot sun. In Harry Coveleskie the Tigers have a star. But outside 1 j of the left-winged Pole no one can point to another pitcher on the squad as a first class product. Dauss should be, but so far has never reached the expected < height. One or two of his youngsters look very good, but a weak pitching s staff tossed in against Ruth, Shore, Leonard and Mays, or Shawkey, Caldwell, . Cullop Fisher, etc.. puts the rest of the Tiger machine under an abnormal ; 1 handicap. i The Tiger attack last year averaged an extra run to the game over the -1 Red Sox. This daily margin against all competition should have been over ; I whelming. But where the Tigers were making five runs and losing, the Red . | Sox were making three runs and winning. You can figure from these sordid - j details just how pitching counts. The Proper Move 1 i A few days ago a certain ten per cent, score golfer topped his drive on the | sixth hole at Druid's Hills, and then proceeded to slice his second 100 yards oft . ' line into a cornfield. ' j He came up to George Adair later on for advice. "What should I have \ done under those conditions?" he asked Mr. Adair. i "Just what did you do'."' eagerly countered the expert. "I lost my ball." replied the duffer. ' I "You did exactly right." said George. "That's what a man who slices 150 g yards off the course should do every time." "! "Are there any bald-headed ball players now in the major league?" queries * R. R. F. None of the glistening domed variety, but no one would ever accuse " Dick Randolph of having a matted covering upon his well known and justly ' celebrated crest. .' i. The last bewhiskered athlete we ever saw play was Tacks Parrot, in 1901. ' Tacks completed that campaign with a heavy beard and a batting average 'of .307. But the great yelp which went out for speed and youth sent the bewhiskered entries on a rush for the barber. Not that whiskers ' are a handicap to speed, but they have never been accused of producing r i an excessively useful appearance. \\ £ 1 j .. •'Wormleysburg Enters Field With Strong Ball Team . j Wormleysburg will be represented by u fast baseball team during the 1 - coming season.

CLASS COLLEGES FOR RELAY RACES Perm's Spring Carnival Prom ises to Be Record Event; In terest in Track Games Philadelphia, April 3. Now that the team entries for Pennsylvania's great two-day relay carnival on April, 27 and 28 are in, the management is able to make the final grouping for 1 the various class races. With much difficulty it was found possible to ar range the classes so that the same number of races will be held as last year, in addition to the colleges found below in the class events, the following colleges have entered for the Amer ican championship relay races at the various distances, or in a few cases merely in the special events: Yale, Harvard. Princeton, Cornell, Dart mouth. Michigan, Chicago, Illinois, Misouri, Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Pur due, Columbia. Syracuse, Holy Cross, Pennsylvania State, Kansas. Indiana, Nebraska, Grlnnell and Pennsylvania. In all, over 100 college teams will compete. No other set of games has ever had more tljan thirty colleges In attendance, so that the real importance and magnitude of the relay carnival stands out most prominently by com parison, especially when it is also con sidered that over 250 school teams will be in the events reserved for them during the two days of the carnival. The final grouping of the class races is as folows: Relay Championship Middle Atlantic States Collegiate A. A. one-mile relay championship Haverford, Swarthmore, New York University.

He will leave to-day on a visit to friends in upper end of county at Sunbury and points north. Un Siindav Kline will go to Wilkes-Barre. As third baseman and captain, Kline, last season was a big star on the Millersburg team in the Dauphin-Perry League. He is a fast fielder, good base runner and can hit. Kline's friends in llarrisburg hope he will land a perma nent place with Calhoun. O'NEILL IS AFTER FAST INFIELDERS Syracuse, X. Y„ April 3. Mikei O'Neill is positive that he will have the fastest infield in the State League this' year in Quinn, Madden, Evans and Keating: to begin the season. The star chief makes this claim on the fact that Madden is a natural in tielder and could never show to the best advantage in the outer works, and that Ray Evans belongs at third, not second base. Mike figures' that Madden and Evans will both hit bet ter at second and third baser, re spectively. He is also sure that Quinn will prove the best first sacker FRED FULTON TO MEET HARD FOE Takes 011 Carl Morris; Must Put His Opponent Down and Out to Win New York, April 3.—When big Fred Fulton steps into the ring to-morrow night to tackle Carl Morris, here, he will be a big favorite on account of the splendid showing that he has made in his previous bouts. Fulton made quite a name for himself when he whipped ovgr a sleep producer, po lishing off Charlie Weinert so easily that this performance was regarded as one of the best in his career. In his bout with Weinert, Fulton proved that he was made of the right mettle, and since then his friends have been tout ing the tall man from Minnesota as the one best bet for a bout with Wil lard.
